New MEMPHIS THEATRE Satur-
day night new drama written BY Miss
Annie Llewellyn, entitled The FLoUeS
Girl of Wales, was presented for that
lady's benefit, to the slimest house of
the season. Tonight Mr.. E. W. Mars
ton, the, "funsy man" of the New Mem
phis, will take a farewell benefit, on
which occasion an interesting programme
will be presented. Scion Shingle, or the
Barrel Of apple Sass, with Mr.. Marston
as "SoloB," and Mr.. Jake Seessel as
"Charles Otis" will be one of the ats
fractions. Several amateur boxers have
volunteered and will appear in the Crib
Scene" from Tom and Jerry. The
laughable farce entitled SardHs Young
Man, will also be presented, and the
Arions have volunteered and will sing
several songs, glees and quartettes. This
programme should draw full house.
Mr.. Marston deserves parting tribute
from our thester geers, for he has en-
tertained them and brought smiles and
laughter to cheer them on many occa-
sions. Therefore let him have a benefit
that will cause him to laugh tonight and
feel better when he pockets the p roceeds.

TEACHERS AND POLITICS.

One of the prominent educators Of
Kansas furnishes the following to late
number Of the Kansas Educational J;ur-
nal: 20 rTEtr.
Teachers OF Kansas, women as well
rs men, win you allow me to ask you, or
will you ask yourselves, whether you take
any special interestin the politics Of our
State aud Nation Is it of personal in
terest 10 you who goes TO the Legislature
from your DISTRICT this winter, or who
are to represent Kansas in the National
Congress?F rs e,
will not ask whether you perfer hon
esly to dishonesty, purity Of morals and
manners to impurity, devotion to princi
pie rather than to policy, in our public
officers but l do wish to inquire how
many things you have done, whether by
word or by deed, within the last few
weeks, whose tendency has been TO en-
cottage purity and uprightness, and
rebuke corruption among pol 'tical men.
do not inquire whether the best men
are always elected to fill the county Offices
where you live, ard whether the right
men are chosen for school officers in The
district ia which you teach for ] do not
care to hear about your Inefficient Sber-
iii. or your dishonest county Treasurer,
or your Register Of Deeds whose mistakes
are causing vexatious litigations among
your neigibors. Nor do wish to hear
about your sleepy Justices, or vagabond
Constables, or your School Directors de
voted to The rearing of cattle or sheep,
but mol othe education of their children
But l do ask how much you did for or
against the election of these men; and 81
your officers are good and efficient men,
as in nearly all cases 1 know they are
again let me ask what you did towards
slevadBg them TO their presen nj positions.
Sister Teachers, do you think much
upon the present unhappy political con-
diiion OF cur country, when Congress
and the President are at odds? Were
you more than usually anxious to have
access 10 Tie latest papers fe " weeks ago
when the returns Of the October elections
were coming in? Do you tell the chill
dren about the good Abraham Lincoln and
his Emancipation proclamation, in such
way as TO. lead their young minds TO i'm
itate bis virtues and become the champ
ions of the oppressed wherever found
1t seems 10 ne that it is the duty OF
every teacher 10 take active interest in the
affairs of our government, and use his or
her il fluence, in proper ways, TO insure
high standard Of moral and intellectual
worth among public officers. We have
in our State many public men to whose
virtue and fitness for Office we all bear
grateful testimony. The past record OF
Kansas in the politics Of the nation is UNI
deniably good. The future is IN the
hands OF all The people. Shall we not do
cur part for universal freedom and uni
yersal intelligence. -.. r..r.., -..v
