Education in Jackson CO....NO. 26.
BY d. MACKLEY.

Because / continually urge the i'm
portance of a practical education, you
must not think that l oppose a thor
ough education. In fact, it is almost
essential in the good teacher. He
ought to know much more than he is re-
quired to teach. The young man who
comes from college, with what little
brain he has stuffed with little Greek
and Latin, is constantly thrusting some
word or sentence from the Dead Lam
guages upon the uneducated, to show
how smart he is. The thorough schol-
ar never does this. Like the circula-
ton of the blood, or the breathing of
person in perfect health, he enjoys the
benefits arising from his education al
most unconsciously. The smatterer is
always sounding his own trumpet, and
attempting to show of, and he gener-
ally succeeds by developing an ignO-
rance of his own language, while at
tempting to show his proficiency in
something be considers higher.
Let me call your attention to the
manner in which a thorough scholar
a man of sense, conducts himself. Prof.
Young, who conducted our late Insii-
tute, is Professor of the Greek and Lat
in languages in the Ohio University,
In all his lectures he used pure English,
SO plain and simple that child could
understand every word he said No
thrusting in words from other Language
es, His language was almost as pure,
and plain, and simple, as that Of Whit
tier,

When Preston S. Brooks dare not
answer Charles Summers great speech
against the barbarism Of slavery, he
stole up behind him and beat him down
with q cane.
When Lowell II, Rousseau could not
answer Mr. Grinnel's argument, he
struck him with a cane We con-
demned both acts. The Democrats ap-
plauded both acts. When these saw
age, brutal ruflians died, we thought
tho world was well rid of them. We
think so yet.

said about the death Of Rousseau, aud
says;

GA few days ago bucolic couple
went to neighboring city for the pur-
pose of getting married. The cere-
mony took place in the evening, and
they proceeded to the hotel. At a late
hour they were found in the sitting
room by one of the colored walters -
The newly-made benedict asked the
gentleman of color show soon their bed
would be brought in" Sambo politely
responded by informing him that if he
wished room he must register bis
name, when the clerk would assign him
one. He accordingly repaired to the
Office and inscribed his name and the
maiden name of his wife below it. In
sisting upon having a room together,
the clerk inquired if he and the lady
were married, when he replied in the
affirmative, and pulled from bis pocket
the marriage certificate! The ques-
tion Of legality being settled, the happy
pair were conducted to an apartment.
An hour or two after, strong smell
OF gas sent the night'watchman hunt
ing for the leak. 1t was traced to the
room of the ne"ly.wedded pair De-
manding admission, and asking the
cause of the escaping gas, the rural
swain replied, pointing to the gas-bur-
ner, "that he blew it out, and then the
darned thing smelt so bad that he put
his stocking over it," Sure enough,
there was the stocking, drawn over the
burner, and tied down with a shoe

Several Ofthe county papers are pub

ties. Ihave not the materials at hand
to publish history of Jackson county
which would be satisfactory to me; but
l may be able to give some personal
recollectiens, running back forty five
years, which will be of interest to the
southern portion of the county, where
l was so long a resident. If the old
citizens in other parts Of the county
would aid me, with sketches of matters
that came under their personal obser-
vation, it would fill out the plan as to
all parts of the county. once wrote

NEW YORK CRIMINAL RECORD.

Judge Lawrence, Chairman of the Comm ittee
to investigate the election In New York
City, to-day obtained leave In the House to
submit his report at any time, but the document
will hardly be ready for two weeks. The
evidence will show that in many courts of that
city NATURALIZATION went on at the rate of$wO
per minute during long session. Papers were
filled up, signed and sealed In the Courts, and
sent out, with place for the name left blank at
the time. Fifty persons were naturalized at
once, by administering the oath to them in a
body. The repeaters were organized before reg
istry. and had their names entered differently In
several wards; then ON elec tion day the Demo.
cratic managers furnished them with printed
lists copied from the registry showing exactly
under what names to vote and what residence
TO give. The Committee estimates that at least
twenty-five thousand fraudulent Democratic
votes were cast 10 the city. Every facility was
offered to Democratic members of the Committee
to prove frauds on the part of the Republicans,
but nothing Of the kind was established.
