LEIS' POWDER being both Tonic and Lax

Is IT NOT Sol-At late meeting Of
q committee on education in Glasgow
the following opinion was expressed
regarding the treatment of teachers:
alt is by raising the qualifications
the pay, and the social position Of
teachers, that the interests of education
are really and surely advanced, and not
by screwing down the teacher to hard
mechanical system, and jealously with
holding from him portion of his mad
equate remuneration on the slightest
apparent symptom of = failure OF
duty"
We recommend this to our educa-
tional authorities for consideration.

BILL AND JOE.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.


BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.
Come. dear old couirade. you and
VIII steal an hour from days gone by
The shining days days., when hen. life was new S
The lusty days OF long ago,
When you were Bill and was Joe.
Your name may haunt titled trail,
Proud as q cockeral's rainbow tail;
And mine as brief appendix wear
As Tom oShanter's luckless mare;
To-day, old friend, remember still
That / am Joe and you are Bill.
You've won the great worlds envied prize,
And grand you look in peoples eyes,
With HON and l. l. ID
In big grave letters, fair to see.-
Your fist, old fellowI on they goi-
How are you, Billl How are you, Joe?
You've worn the judges ermined robe;
You've taught your name to half the globe;
You've sung mankind deathless strain;
You've made the dead past live a"ain:
The world may call You what IL will,
But you and are Joe and Bill.
The chatting young folks stare and say,
1'See those old buffers, bent and gray
They talk like fellows in their teensI
Mad, POOR old boysl That's what IL mesns,'-
And shake their heads; they little know
The throbbing hearts Of Bill and Joel
How BIT forgets his hour Of pride,
While Joe sits smiling by his side;
How Joe, IN spite Of times disguise,
Finds the old schoolmate in his eyes,
Those calm, stern eyes that melt and I'LL,
AS Joe looks fondly up at Bill.
All, pensive scholar, what is famef
A Gtful tongue of leaping- flame;
A giddy whilwind's tickle gust,
That Lifts pinch Of mortal dust;
A few swim years, and who can show
Which dust was Bill, and which was Joe.
The weary idol takes his stand,
Holds out his bruised and aching hand,
While gaping thousands come and CO.
How vain IL seems, this empty shoWl-
Till all at once his pulses thrill;-
IT'S poor old JOe's "G0d bless you, Billp
And shall we breathe In happier spheres
The names that pleased our mortal ears,
In some sweet luil of harp and song
For earth-borD spirits none too long,
Just whispering Of the world below
Where this was Bill, and that was JOe3
No matter; while our home is here
No sounding name il half so dear;
When fades Mt length our lingering day,
Who cares what pompOus tombstones say?
Read on the hearts that love US still,
HE jdcet Joe. He jaeet Bill.

fountain of life ITSELF and IL you wish TO restore
health, you must first purify the blood; and to
insure health, must keep 1T pure. In doing
this you infuse into the debilitated, broken

GUS effect OF LEIS' CONDITION POWDER,
by the loosening of the skin and smoothness Of

They make sport of him there because
he is noisy, and meddlesome, and has

we were named) was Welshman.
But TO come back to Llewellyn Ba7

Nobody but a Welshman can say Lie

to pronounce it. Sound the letter !,
and while you are doing so, blow the

Now then - Il Llewellyn - Richard

Wepublish this week an advertise

ing the number of horses, cattle, mules,
sheep and hogs, in each county in the
State, as compared with the previous
year 1t will be seen that the number
of hogs has fallen off in one year, in the
State, 356, ,699, or more than a third of
a million. The number has decreased
in every county in the State except
rrroll, aud there the increase is only
III either In Jackson county the number
"~r'sSSs "S.aS sb%.u off in one year 5000, or
nearly one third. In all the surround
ing counties the decrease has been
large. This accounts for the high price
OF hogs. 1t is evident from these sta
tistics that hogs will sell at very high
price for several years to come, as it
will take time to supply this great de-
fiCienCy, aud meet the demand for the
increase of population in the State.
P.S. We have some very nice
hogs, good stock, for sale.

A Niger Hung.

A negro named Edwards was hung
in st. Louis last week The rope was
too short, and the hanging took some
ten to fifteen minutes. The scene
was said to have been most horrible
The ST. Louis Democrat thus speaks
about the crime for which this man was
choked to death with slow torture:
If he had been a wealthy white man,
no jury in the land would have convic-
ted him. Look at the circumstances.
The wife of Edwards was grossly in
suited at ball. When she resented
the insult by calling the man liar, he
struck her--knoCked her down. Her
husband, being present, as matter Of
course went to her assistance. In the
fight which ensucd he slew the man
who had insulted and struck his wife,
and--he was hanged for it.
Does any one believe for moment
that if any respectable white man Of
ST. Louis should kill a ruflian for insult
ing and beating his wife, there could
be found twelve other respectable white
men in the city who would say he
should be hanged for so doingi

At Leesburg, Indiana, James Sutton
and his team, two horses, were struck
by lightning on Wednesday of last

"A bridge on the Louisville and
Memphis railroad, near Clarksville,

THE Cincinnati VoltsJIaH thus shows
how the Catholics expect to profit from
the election of Gen. Rosecrans
Gas the Governors term of office
lasts two years, and he has the appoint
ment of one new Director every yevr,
in each of our various State institutions,
he has it in his power to engineer
majority of directors into every public
institution. The subordinate officers
of these institutions are appointed by
those higher ones whom the Governor
appoints, and their appointment de-
pends upon the pleasure Of the majority
lin the Board of Directors. Whatever
political or religious coloring charac-
terizes the majority of Directors who
happen to be in Office, will naturally be
reflected in tue lower officials. In case
General Rosecrans should be elected
Governor, we may, in view of his we'll
known social and religious connec-
tions; predict, with certainty, what in
fuences will regulate his appointments
He could not, and would not, dare to
withdraw himself from those influences.
Let the electors from Ohio, at the next
election for Governor, bear in mind
the fact that, if Rosecrans is elected.
all the public institutions Of the State uiH be
brought under Catholic influences, and
plaed indirectly into the hands Of the Catho-
hc clergy."

"The editor of the Jackson Standard
is informed that we were perfectly
aware that the code of civil procedure
was in great measure a re-enactment
of laws already upon the statute books
governing civil cases. Its object was to
codify and harmonic existing laws,
and to introduce such amendments in
the criminal practice as was thought
desirable. 1t simplifies the practice to
meet the comprehension Of the ordinary
legal mind, and will no doubt prove a
great benefit to the random lawyer
Portsmouth Times.
The enactment of laws already in
force was much greater "beneft' to
such random Legislators as the editor of
the Times, who knew very we'll that it
would be his last pull at the public
teat, at $500 per day.

The N. Y. Day Book is very sure that

it is careful not to let the negro have
an equal chance. Why3 We suppose
it is because the negro, if he had fair
play, might, with all his in inferiority,

Here is its opinion about giving ne
groes chance to acquire an education {:
NEGRO DEBAUoHERT IN KENTUCKY.
Unless the people of Kentucky wake
up soon, they will find themselves in as
bad state of things as in Alabama or
Mississippi. The "triends of colored
education" are to hold a State Conven-
ton, to provide for the "education of
colored youth"-that is, to so debauch
and deprave the younger negroes, that
the next generation will be forced, in
self.preservation, to massacre these
hapless and perverted beings. "Ne-
gro education" forsooth If Mr.. Pea
body were to donate half a million or
so to "reconstruct" the negro brain
to add, say, some twenty per cent, and
diminishing the cerebellum with cor
responding increase of the cerebrum,
in about that proportion, and thus pre-
pare it for the instruction proper to
white people, there would be infinitely
more reason than the proposal to "ed-
ucate" negroes as they now are, or as
God has made them. That would only
kill the negro, but while "education"
also kills him, it does it slowly, and, in
the meantime, renders him debauch-
ed and useless, and, alas! terribly dan
gerous animal.
