Ed. JoURxABs.-I desire, thro ugh the sour
nal. to call the attention of school officers TO
text books desirable 10 be introduced into
the schools of the county for securing uni
farmity so far as possible.
To avoid unnecessary expense, the introduce
ton can be accomplished gradually, by pla
cling them in a class commencing astudy, ana
who must buy new book. ~
- 1t becomes the duty of the school board IN
each district to adopt some series of books
and by gradual introduction there need De
no extra expense, as most or all books can be
obtained for introduction Al half retail price.
Guyot's Biographies are new, but are so

States, the author standing first in this de-

,EIae Dude o. Honor.

The threat Of Judge Nelson the other
day to meet General Butler ''elseu hare"
suggests 20 the reflective mind good deal
more than what appears upon its face.
There was time when challenges to
mortal combat were not Gffrequent in the
halls of Congress, when the peoole's rep
resentatives fell under the bladgeon Of the
slave holding ASSASSIN and bully, and
when the freedom Of speech could not be
exercised for fear of an open assault.
But that time was thought to have passed
away by the puriication Of war, and with
the abolition Of slavery-the inspiring
cause and support of the so called code
of honor. Slavery is dead but its spirit
still lives to vex and torment us. The
long line Of slave holding presidents has
passed. away. except the one who now
trembliugly awaits his doom in the execu
tive mansion, and it was not astonishing
that in the last days, asBe hope, Of a bad
race of public men, the old spirit shosli
become rampant and show It's iangs once
more. We venture upon the assertion
that Andrew johnson is tho'last mar who
was reared under the curse and s'.adow
of human slavery that will eve be put
in the line OF Succession to tho White
House. No matter how !oyaE how pa!ri-
otto, or how able southern men may be,
henceforth the people Of the county vii.
demand that their rulors shall be Of that
class whose llool has never been tainted
with that deadly virus.
The picture presented in the Soaate
chamber the other day is moro real than
alcgorical. Nelson, the only southern
man selected to defend the distinguished
respondent, spoke for himself, for the
President, and for the expiring eliiyalry
Of his section, when he threatened one Of
the peoples Managers with a duel. A
great artist might catch the idea and
paint the scene with the Soutl ern dragon
suddenly lifting its revolving head among
the Senators, to fasten lis poisonous fang
cnce more upon the body Of Liberty.

Let the Boy Fight Madam.

A word of advice to mothers-we are not
a mother ourselves, but we know whereof
we speak. Never tell your little boys 'not
to fight
Now do not stare at the paper in such as
tonishment and horror, dear madam-we do
not propose that you train up your darling
curly headed first-born to be a prize fighter.
nor do we advise you to inculcate peaceful no.
ton in the boys head, or to encourage an
amicable disposition. We simply ask you
not to issue the command in general terms
without qualification, mot to fight.
We would remind you, in the first place,
madam, that such command is certain to
lead the conscientious boy into double the
number of fights which belongs. by the nat
ural law of masculine, childhood to any one
boy. A conscientious child, for instance,
goes among his fellows with firm determin-
alton to obey his mother. He accordingly
bears the imposition, which are continually
occurring among boys; his school-mates
soon learn that be does this, and take ad-
vantage of the fact, attributing it usually to
cowardice. Human nature is not alamant,
madam, even in your model boy. He en-.
durea as much as he can for your sake and
tnen,ress- 8 to bis fists. Now, if from the
first he had stood manfully Up to his rights
as nothing but full permission to defend them
would enable him to do, he would have es-
capei the imposition and consequently the
contest.
For boy to defend his rights, and what
he considers his honor. is both natural and
praiseworthy. 1t is wrong for his mother
to compel him to do so with the feeling that
he is mourning parental displeasure. 1t un-
nerves him, if he have q conscience and in
tends to do what is right. He feels an una
voidable necessity of doing wrong.
Nothing is more common in the manage
ment of children than for parents to tell them
mot to fight" Nothing could be more alb
surd. But" says the mother. che will be
sure enough to fight as much as is necessary
Tell him to fghtlike tiger iftbe choice be be
tween fighting and running away. Tell him
to protect his childish honor and his rights,
as you would have him protect his manhood.
You may then tell him to cultivate habits of
peacefulness, and to avoid such companions
as delight in fighting and bullying for their
own sake. Advise your boy in this way.
madam, and our word for it, you will have
peaceful, manly, independent child

THE Rutland (Vt.) Herald relates re-
markable instance of telegraphing under
difficulties, that occurred few days since
A train on the Bennington and Rutland
railroad had got stuck fast in the snow bank
three quarters of a mile from SALISBURY,
and could neither proceed nor back out
There was no means of telegraphing for as
sistance. and but for the opportune presence
of Mr.. John M. Hills, a telegraph operator
who was on board, the dilemma would have
been an unpleasant one. At bis suggestion
a messenger was dispatched to Salisbury
for a piece Of wire. This obtained. telegraph
pole was climbed and the conducting wire
cut Then Mr.. Hills affixed the piece of
wire to one of the ends of the telegraph wire,
and by striking the end of this against the
other end of the telegraph wire formed cir
Gle and communicated to the officers of the
road at Rutland their condition, asking that
an engine be sent tn their assistance. which
was at once dispatched, aad succeeded in
getting the blockaded train out of its difficulty.
Mr.. Hills received the answer to his dispatch
from the Rutland Office, by placing the ends
of the wire on either sides of his tongue and
receiving the shocks in his system.

THE CRY MANIA.-Under this caption the
Nevada Gazette contais an article aprOpos to
the times, and from which we extract as fol.
lows:
The drift of wealth and individuals
throughout the United States is toward our
large cities Men born and bred amid the
scenes of country life. instinctively gravitate
toward the largest place in their county,
State or country. The larger the city, the
greater the attraction. The consequence of
such state of things, is that agriculture is
neglected and our great cities are filled with
large population that exc but miserable
existence, either of crime or hand-to mouth
pauperism. The mercantile, and all the
lighter avocations of life are filled to reple-
ton. In our own State the tendency of the
population and wealth of the interior is to
San Francisco, or the towns Immediately
around it. If man has ready money he
naturally seeks to invest it at the Z" Bay. -
If he is poor, he wishes to 90 to the :" Bay"
where there is wealth. Ii he can't have
wealth himself, he has an innate desire to
crouch near its gilded shadow. and is satis-
fed to pick the crumbs that fall from the rich
mans table.
