Adequately instruct thelf cnlldfen, OUT
hesitates to admit the principle Of compul-
sorry education by the State. When a father
keeps his child at home it is difficult to dis
cover if that child has received "the essen
tial minimum - of instruction. He dislikes
large boarding-schools that while the State
ought to take upon itself the education OF
the young, this education should approach
to, and be conducted on, the family prin-
ciple." He concluded by r%emarking,
"There is one thing which has never brought
up anybody-the barrack," and 5000 pairs
of hands shook the building with an cleo
tric applause. Renau is modest in appear
ance. He is on the shady side of forty
FIVE. His dark hair is straight, parted from
right to left, covering q badness in the
centre. Occasionally his eye lights up
not with the applause, for he regards it not,
but with the rapture of his theme. He ls
q terribly-in-earnest man. His features
are heavy and rather coarse, bearing the
evident traces Of a life's struggle. His
voice is shrill, small, squeakiDg, and scold-
ing +; his action graceful, because natural.
He is in evening dress, and appears to be
decorated" by the button ribbon in the
lapel Of his coat. This is courageous; for
we are in the land of the Philistines,
among the people of tho barbados, and
who make history, and dislike such insignia
Of glory. The friends OF the Second En-
pire are stationed at the door, picked guar
dams of the law, who take your photograph
in q look, in the possible event that you
might be Z" wanted" before the proceed
ings were over.

The Tide or Travel Over the PaeTa.
Railroad.

On the Ist of May fifteen thousand
people in California were booked for an
overland trip by rail. The tide of trav-
el has fairly commenced, and the time
has now come when tourists will make
Il trip to the Rocky Mountains before
climbing the Alps or indulging in a sail
on the Rhine. For an American to Wis
it Europe for pleasure, before he has seen
our own magnificent landscapes or
mountains, waterfalls, waving pines
and broad green parks, is ridiculous and
justly subjects him to unfavOrable eriti-
cism abroad.
Our mountain scenery Is as wild, beau
tiful, romantic and sublime as any
Europe can present, with the ADVANTAGE
that it is on a much grander scale. No
brooks sparkle brighter or are better fill
ed with trout than ours and no climate
on earth is more invigorating, clear and
beautiful than ours. One might spend a
dozen summers in exploring our noun
tain chains, and still the half would not
have been seen. Let those of the East
who have the leisure and money but are
lacking in health and vigOr, come and
camp in our beautiful hooks, battle in
our hot and cold mineral springs and re-
gain youth, vigOr and health. No nor
ton Of the world offers so much variefvOf
scenery, and this the Americans under
stand. If they want further testimony.
let them read Samuel Bowels book. and
follow his example.
Our artists already appreciate our i'm
pOrtance, and have been fiOcking here
IN great numbers to transfer portion of
our beauties to canvas, but they ought
not to be left alone in the enjoyment of
its pleasures - Colorado ReQiStCr.

The 11cNon Butohory at Palmyra

So long as God gives us life, and the
earth is cursed with the presence of Nc
Neil, we feel it to be our solemn duty to
rehearse, once every year, the story of
the most atrOciOUs and horrible occur
rences in the annals of barbarOus war;
fare. On the 18th day of October, 1862, a
deed was enacted at the Fair Grounds at
Palmyra, Missouri, which sent thrill of
horror throughout the civilized world.
Ten brave, and true, and innocent men
were taken from their prison, driven to
the edge of the town, seated on their
rough board COffins, and for no crime of
their own, murdered like so many swine.
Murdered! Butchered! By the old blotch
upon creations face, John Mcneil,
now by the grace of bayOnets, Tom
Fletcher and the Devil, is Sheriff of St,
Louis county! and a radical in full fell
lOwship.
There was our poor, handsome, gall
liant boyhOOd friend, Tom Sidener. AS
pure q soul as ever winged its flight
from blOOd-stained sod to that God who
will yet, to all eternity, damn the fiend-
ish butcher Mcneil! Poor Tom! He was
model paragon of manly grace and
beauty. So eXquisitely formed, features
so perfect and so fair; so brave and yet
so gentle, that even the vile reptile,
Winchell, now Editor of the Hannibal
Courier, said that Gin his beauty and
wickedness, he reminded him of Absa-
IOm." Poor fellow! He was engaged
to be married to a young lady in Mon
roe County. When he learned he was
to be shot, he sent for his wedding-suit,
which had Just been made, declaring
that if he could not be married in
it he intended to die in it. Arrayed
in his elegant black broadclOth,
and his white silk vest, when he noun
ted his coarse plank coffin in the wagon
that was to bear him to death, he looked
as if he were going to be married in
stead of shot! The very guards cried
like children when they hade him good
