Nexy Arrangements for the Proteo-
ton Of the Frontier

Gen. SlBIRY has issued his instructions
for the removal of the troops stationed at
the small posts farther West SO soon as
the weather will permit. The new line
will have its terminus at Alexandria North,
and Spirit Lake, near the Iowa boundary
Southland the stations will vary in dis
lance from ten to fifteen miles apart. The
extent of our frontier may be estimated,
when we state that this single defensive
line is more than 40 miles long as the
bird flies. The posts will be garrisoned by
strong detachments, and daily strong
patrol will be kept up between them, so
that report will be made of the condi-
ton of things at all the stations to Fort
Ridgely every twenty-four hours. In adj
dition to these precautions, strong force
of,cavalry will be kept in motion both
North and South Of the Minnesota river
during the season, which will render the
approach of the hostile savages towards
the settlements exceedingly dangerous to
themselves. Not only will these measures
for the safety of the settlers be taken but
there will be held also an upper line extend
ing from Fort Abercrombie via Fort Wads-
worth to the James River, along which ex-
perienced scouts of Indian blood of ap-
proved fidelity, will be posted under the
immediate supervision of the military au-
thorities, to intercept any parties of sava-
ges on their way to the borders of Mime
sofa and Northern Iowa. There will be de-
tachments in the field against the hostile
Indians, but it is not deemed proper to
make public these contemplated move
ments at the present time
From what We can judge of the meas
ures taken for the defence of our remote
settlers, we believe they will prove entirely
effective in the destruction Of any savages
who may hazard a repetition of former
raids on our frontier.

FRANKLIN SCHOOL EXAMINA-
cd. ' NTION. HIt

The examination of this school took place
Friday in the presence of quite number of
visitors. Members of the Board of Education
present were as follows: Inspectors Mattocks,
Paine Robertson, Brisbine, Kelly and Rama
ley. Among the visitors we noticed Rev. DR..
McMasters, Rev. DR.. Patterson, Messrs. Hoyt,
Smith, Goodrich, Gates and Others. We were
unable to be present in the morning, which
we much regret The examination of Miss
Bidweli's class in reading was in progress on
our entrance, and the entire class from the
youngest to the Oldest scholar, showed pro-
fciency in this branch OF study which was high
ly gratifying to the members of the Board and
the other visitors present ,~.a-E I'LL,
The next class examined was that of Mrs.
Haynes in Grammar Mrs. Haynes conducted
the exercises and not person present failed to
observe the careful training of the scholars in
this important branch of study. Mrs. Haynes
has the reputation. and well deserved one, of
being not only competent, but also teacher
peculiarly qualified TO impart instruction to the
young Her class in grammar acquitted itself
in q manner to reflect credit upon both scholars
and teacher. Several questions were pro-
pounded to the class by visitors and
answered promptly and correctly. Among the
questions asked was the following by Inspector
Mattocks, which We would be happy to have
some of our grammarians answer correctly.
He asked the class 10 give him the Indicative
mood and present tense of - l went to Still
water" The class answered, ~ 20 to Still.
water" Mr.. Mattocks took issue with the
scholars, and we would like to know whether
the children were correct or not. ~. ID.
The next class was that of Mr.. Foster, the
Principal, in Algebra, and the proficiency of
each member of the class was q matter of sur
prise to all present. 1t is sufficient to say
they were perfect in their study as far as the
school could carry them. After the examina-
ton closed, Mr.. Foster stated that he regretted
the class had to stop here, but since the Board
had decided not to establish q High School,
they could not 60 farther in Mathematics. "
Inspectors Mattocks and Robertson expressed
their qualification at the creditable manner in
which the different classes passed their exam
ination, and stated that no previous examine
ton had given as satisfactory evidence Of pro-
ficiency and advancement as the one which
took place yesterday. '.a ,a5.. .
Mr.. Foster stated at the close that the teach
ers had decided not to give certificates, and
hence we have no roll of honor to publish.
This closes the spring examination Of our pub

An Outrageous Wrong.

We do not know who is responsible for the
instructions under which the examining sur
geons act, but we protest, in the name OF
right and decency, against the rule requiring
the surgeons to throw ont strong, able,bo
man for some trifling physical defect, when he
voluntarily offers his services to his country,
and then accepting the same man when he
comes to be drafted. We call for the immedi-
ate arrest of the person from whom such in
structions emanated, for discouraging enlist.
meDts. We are cognizant of several cases in
which the injurious workings of this rule are
apparent. and it is felt by all parties to be
grieyous wrong and injustice. We should like
to have some lucid and clear headed individual
Provost Marshal Fry, for instance-explain
the cause or occasion or necessity for such
rule.-Stiu,oater Messenger.
The explanation of the rule alluded to
by the Messenger is very simple. A draft
ed man is considered as actually in the
service from the moment his name is
drawn from the box, and his examination
is to ascertain whether he has any physi-
cal detects that would entitle him to dis
charge. He holds the same relation to
the Government as soldier actually in
the field, who may have been wounded, or
who has become debilitated by disease, so
far as the surgical examination goes to
determine whether his disabilities are SUI
fcient to warrants discharge. In this re-
spect the cases are identical.
On the other hand, man who volun-
tarily tenders his services, and receives
the government bounties, must in all re-
spects come up to the requirements of an
able-bodied soldier when he ehlists. If
he becomes disabled afterwards by wounds
or disease, so that he cannot do bis duty
in the field, he may be mustered out, on
recommendation Of the Surgeon. At
first thought, it may seem an injustice to
reject man who volunteers to enlist, and
then to hold him if he is drafted, but it
will be seen that valid reasons exist for the
practice. - s. 90"

As high as $500 has been offered the
Globe reporters for a copy of Andy John
sons peculiar speech before the Foreign
Ministers and others on Inauguration Day.
The Senate will neither allow the Globe to
print, nor the reporters to sell it. Future
generations will therefore be deprived of
the gem, and "incoherent Andy will go
down to the grave with the greatest
speech of the age unproduced.

SKIPPER BEN.
Sailing away
Losing the breath ofthe shores in May
Dropping down from the beautiful Boy,
Over the ssa-siope vast and gray
And the shippers eyes with mist are blind
For thoughts rush up on the rising wind
Of gentle e re that he leaves behind,
And a heart that thrObs through the fOg-bank dim,
Thinking Of him.
Far into night
he watches the CLEAN ofthe lssseH.'S light
Fixed on the dangerous island ,Leight
That bars The barber he loves lrCa sight,
And he wishes at dawn he could tell tale
or how they had weathered the southwest gale,
To brighten the cheek thathad grown so pale
With sleepess night 'nong the spectres grim
IerrUrs for him.
Yo-heave.yo
Here's the bane where the fishermen go
over the schooner's sides they throw
Tackle and bait TO the deeps below.
And skipper Ben in the water sees,
When the ripple curls ia the light lsnd-breeze,
Something that stiTs like his sppie-trees,
And two soft eyes that beneath them swim,
Lifted to him,
Hear the wind roar,
And the rain through the slit sails tear and pour,
"stcady : we'll scUd by the Cape Ann shore
Then bark to the Beverly bells more 70
AID each man worked with the win Of ten;
Mhi'e up the rigging, now and then,
The lightning giared In the face OF Ben,
Turned to the black horizons rim,
Sowing on bin.
Into his brain
Burned with the irou OF hopeless pain,
Into thoughts that grapple aud eyes that strain,
Perces the memory cruel and vain
Never again shah he walk 1T
sndsr the poisoning apple trccs
That whisper and sway in the sunset br3eze,
While the soft eyes 1oas where the sea gus skim,
Gazing with him.
How they went down
Never vas known in the still old town;
Nobody guessed how the fisherman brown,
with the look Of despair that was half frOwn,
Faced his fate in the furious night,
Faced the mad pillows with hunger white,
just within hail I the be8ccn-hght,
that shoae on q woman sweet and trim
Waiting fJT him

His was the anguish momenl tells
The passionate SORROW death quickly Enells;.
But The wearing wash OF lifelong woe
Is left fer the de5olate heart to know,
v hose tides with the dull years come and 60,
Til hope drills dead 10 its stagnant brim,
Thinking Of him.

part of w H. Russell's description Of the
Atlantic telegraph cable:
GREAT EASTERN, August 2
A sad, memorable day in the annals OF
the Atlantic telegraph. Lunch was over.
Some had left the table, others were about
leaving. The scientific gentlemen had
very piuch cheered Us by their stating that
they believed that the fault was only six
miles away, and SO ere dead night falls we
might hope to have the fault on board
make a new splice and proceed on orr way
to Hearts Content, geographically about
six hundred miles away. Suddenly Mr.
Canning appeared in the saloon, and in a
manner which told all, and said, "Its all
over. 1t is gone" then fastened onward TO
his cabin Ere the thrill of surprise aud
pain occasioned by these words had passed
away, Mr.. Field came from the companion
into the saloon, and said, with composure
admirable under the circumstances, though
his lips quivered aud his cheek was blanched,
The cable has parted and has gone over
board" All were on deck in a moment,
and there indeed glance revealed the
truth

There is no proof at present, but as the
signs stand now we will have frost early il
September. The 18th and 8th of September
