to st. Louis than heretofore. 1t says
that on Friday evening, July 9Th, the
Missouri river changed its course and
shortened its lsugth at a point between
Brownsville and Nebraska City, known
~ Peru Bend. The river heretofore
made . circuit around q peninsula from
the Nebraska shore Of something over
fifteen miles. For some years tho neck
connecting il with the mainland has
BEEN wearing away, and on the day
mentioned, the entire force Of the Mis-
souri, current cut it through, and with
. loud ~wrsngling Of waters established
. new channel. A farm house, fences,
and an immense forest Of trees were
swept before the torrent.

Rev. Mr.. Hill, School Superintendent
in Sacramento, at the Teachers Insti-
tute, recently, said that for seven years
he initiated or tried to initiate the short
sentence style Of Thurlow Weed. He
said that as an editor he had found It
no great task 10 correct the productions
of others i'm which experience and
conclusion, Mr.. Hill is peculiar. He
hopes the time might come in the future
when each school would have q printing
press attached to it, that the scholars
may be able to express their thoughts
in print. The lady teachers discussed
all the questions presented, as freely as
their brother instructors.

quoting from the Pacific Railroad bill
to show that the Dutch Flat Railroad
cannot "grab" lands, if they would.
Inasmuch as the Dutch Flat Railroad
Company utterly ignore no less than FIVE
other provisions restrictive in the Bill,
and as the miners all along the route are

that they violate the lap, and their

The President,s Inst.

The New York Evening Post, paper which
sustained, as having some color OF constitu-
tional ground, Mr.. Johnson's veto of the Freed
mems Bureau bill, uses the following Ian.
guage in reference to the latest veto message:
The message only shows that the President
is, now, opposed to universal suffrage--so much
the worse for him. Iu the veto message he has
struck blow at progress not only here but in
Great Britain. He has ranged himself ON the
side of privilege and against popular rights.
He has put words in the mouths of the Eng
fish tories, as well as in those of the reactions
ry party here. The same arguments which he
uses to oppose the grant of suffrage in the fed
eral district to fifth of its population. are
used in England to exclude nine enths of her
people-our true and steadfast friends, our
faithful and incorruptible allies during the
war.
1t is with profound grief that we see Prcsi-
dent OF the United States standing on such
ground. But his message will not stop the
march of liberty and progress. 1t will only
strengthen the sentiment he tries to put down,
and animate the friends OF universal suffrage
to renewed and more vigorous efforts in every
State. We shall not go back because a Presi-
dent chosen by us is false to his own declare
tons and to the spirit which seemed to animate
him during the rebellion.

Suicide Attempsed by Poison.

LSVxIe1pOuueuCe VI Snv xJeSS.l
The people of Buckfeld have recently been
much excited in consequence of an attempt Of
Miss Hattie Damon to kill herself by poison
She is about % years old, good looking, Of re-
spectacle character and active in the duties Of
life. Her mother is dead and her father is q
poor man living some two miles from the vii
lage. She has never been at home much but
has been q servant girl in several families and
preserved good character. She has been en-
gagged to q man by the name of Russell whom
she expected to marry in q short time. Recent
ly this man has been published to a widow
another proof that widow is equal in tact and
talent in the business of counting to score of
other women who have never loved but once
One day last week this girl was in the village
and heard that Russell was published and ex-
pected shortly to marry another woman, wild
ow. This sad and unexpected news troubled
her heart exceedingly; but her feelings she art
fully concealed, purchased box of the Rat Ex-
terminator, travelled home two miles in the
snow, froze her feet, spread the poison on some
buttered bread and ate it. Shortly she was
seized with violent vomiting and remained in
that state several hours when a physician was
caneu VINO aunihlsIefeo the USUAL reineoioS.
He thought her case hopeless one, but now
there is some hope of her recovery, and yet she
wishes to live no longer in world which such
men as Russell inhabit 1t is said that he not
only stole her heart but also borrowed her
money for which she had worked hard. The
case is indeed hard one, and it is to be hoped
that justice will yet overtake him 1t is ru-
mored that her friends and the friends of hui
mainly are moving in the affair.

Christian Asso citation Lectures.

The largest audience of the season assembled
at State Street Church last evening, to listen
to DR.. Storrs' lecture on American Manhood"
Manhood, the lecturer defined, to consist of the
sound Judgment and answering will, which
wherever they exist form centers Of power and
influence. II is the manhood of Greece and
Rome and France and Germany and England,
more than any arts, or laws, or sciences, or
PHILOSOPHERS, or industries, which gives these
historic nations their rank and precedence. 1t
is always the man, rather than any accomplish
ment or incidental characteristic, who in histo-
ry attracts our eyes and holds our admiration.
American manhood promises to excel any which
has heretofore been developed. The blending
OF equal races, meeting upon this continent,
VIII give rise to richer product than has yet
been seem The moral discipline through which
we have passed and are passing is such as no
nation has received before. The quiet courage
with which our people turned from the pursuits
of peace to warlike endeayor, the boundless en-
ergy which displays itself in every department
of our varied life-these bases of manhood we
incontestably have In love Of men and rever-
ence toward God, we are superior to all races
who have preceded us. Tho moral questions
continually force themselves to tho surface in
our politics, and cannot be kept down. Lin
coin and Grant have already shownwhat quiet,
strong, masterful characters our institutions
may form. A rich, cosmopolitan manhood,
simpler and nobler than the world has yet seen,
is sure one day to grace this new world-not
yet, perhaps not for centuries, but at last
surely. t7a saa H,-o eI
This outline of the discourse gives NO hint Of
its affluence of suggestion and illustration, its
grace Of anecdots and force Of expression.
These the audience expected, and was not dis
appointed.

Tits said and generally believed in town, to-
day, that Frad Pasha, the late Grand Vizier
and the former pacitier OF Mount Lebanon, has
been appointed with unlimited powers
to go to Crete. L still doubt whether the Gov

Spring, if they hold out 50 long, it will be but
now, with the long Winter before them, with
their families suffering untold horrors, they
may be inclined to listen to any one whom they
can trust Fuad Pasha would go them with a
good reputation derived from his action in

rest upon Mustapha Pasha, who had once be-

ID The. County Temperance Association will
meet at Freeport tomorrow at two o'clock in
the afternoon. A very pleasant and profitable
time is anticipated. Beside the reading of val
liable essays, good speaking and singing may
be expected. The subject Of temperance is
fruitful of remark. Intemperance is an un-
mitigated curse, and none SO fool-hardy as to
deny it. Temperance is in the keeping of no
particular party or sect, but finds earnest, out
spoken advocates among all. ..-.r
One OF the topics for discussion at the Free
port meeting will be-Imprisonment for
rumselling. Fines are well, imprisonment
were better, and among the radicals are those
who say that death were best. But ON the
comparative we choose at present to rest, be-
ieSing that here lies the remedy. The ques-
ton, however, is open for discussion, and the
strongest arguments will prevail. u lib
