A PRACTICAL IDEA.

an educational institution in Kansas which deserves
more extended notice. The Ottawa indians ef

Government set apart 10000 acres of valuable

Mr.. Peter Cooper's letter to Andrew johnson is
one of those straightforward earnest and kind rebukes
that are often more severe than direct deuuncation
But Mr.. Cooper did not mean to be severe. In all
seriousness, he seems TO have tired to arouse Mr.
johnson to a sense of duty, and, If possible, to
reconcile the differences of the Executive and Con-
gress. Bat that moderation and kindness which
will commend it to the people generally will scarcely
have any effect on Mr.. johnson. Mr.. Cooper WILL
we fear, not even be cOmplmented with an answer
But if Mr.. johnson will not reply, the people GER
tainly will for every warning and entreaty which the
President rejects confirms the conviction that any
weaker argument than votes is wasted.

Frequent reference is made by public speakers to
the noteworthy fact that at the beginning of his
career the President repeatedly described his at
tempts at reconstruction as experiments. He is
charged with bad faith in insisting that they are
accomplished facts We do not share this view Of the
case. They wer. xperiments-experiment on the
faith, confidence and patience of the loyal millions Of
the North. They were experiments to see whether
they would surrender, in the White House, to that

No. Maine says No. And all the people viii say No.

BEWARE OF Rusty NALs.-The following,
which we clip from the Dayton Journal,
should prove warning to the public, tha,
when wound is made with any rusty instru.
ment, immediate efforts should be used to
cleanse it from the poison. Says the Journal:
Saturday morning we noticed the fact that
a few days previous Mr.. Benjamin Munday,
Jr., had run a rusty nail into his foot, and
that the wound had caused lockjaw. When
the injury was inflicted Mr.. NJ thought
nothing of it, and continued his work without
applying any remedy to the wound. But on
Tuesday last the injured foot panied him con
Sideraby, and on Wednesday, we learn, he
desisted from work, and applied remedies to
the wound. But the pain increased, and the
unfortunate man was taken with lockjaw. A
number OF physicians were called to his aid,
but 1t seems that, on account of not knowing
exactly what was the matter with him, medi.
cal and came too late, and after lengthy
period of terrible suffering, death came to his
relief yesterday affernoon-

what she had previously said in relation to
herself was true. We should judge that she
was about 20 years of age-she AYERS that she

living and her hardships might add fs9
ye RS to her appearance. Sheis rather hand,
some, with fine set of teeth, blue eyes-one
is sightless-curly auburn hair, fair com.
plexion, face hands and arms rather plump,
when we remember that she was out in the
cold without food for twenty-three days, We
think she is of English descent-ot strong
mind, and pretty fair education. There Is
great mystery about her, and if the account,
which we published last week is true, still
greater is the mystery. She says her mother 2
maiden name was Ellen Shaw.
When we last heard from her she was still
living however, it is very doubtful if she re
covers, as she had taken no nourishment that
would lay on her stomach for four days past.
