Senator Sumner in a lecture at
Elizebetb, n. j., on the 22d, said the
the Chinese question must be met.
Attention was once attracted to the
negro ; now it is the Chinese who de-
mand protection. Nothing can be
settled which Is not right. This ques-
ton can be settled in harmony with
the principals of our fathers, and in
conformity with right and justice.
The Chinese must have equal copart-
nership for justice. This is the best
policy and the best practice.

n
n. atkinson OF the United States
Land Office for this District has been
in Brownville the past week. From
him we learn that the mail service
from BoOtEioo O~Or TO the Little
Blue runs once a week via Swan City
to Meridian, and from thence once a
week via Fairburry to Jenkins Mills.
He thinks a little effort would Sc
cure a more direct route and increased
service.
His estimate is that over one thous-
and Homesteaders have settled in the
valley Of the Little Blue the past
summer; and that POstoffices are
called for in settlements on the road
direct from Beatrice to Jenkins Mills.
The Department cannot realize
with what rapidity this State is being
settled up, and so they are slow to be-
lieve that mail services are needed to-
day where none was thought Of a year
ago.
For this reason thc frontier settlers
are sadly neglected until light can
force its way over the red tape policy
Of Government officials into the sane
tum Of the primeres of the nation,
where the demands and rights of the
people are recognized and suppliedN

We have long thought of saying
something each week to the boys and
girls who attend the public schools in
this county. It is quite proper that
they should form such habits now
which will aid them in making good
business men and intelligent, active,
smart ladies as they grow up and take
their position in society. There is
great demand for this class of persons.
They can always find something to
do at good wages. Let US then follow
every day life Of one class of boys
and girls. Ma has TO get up, dress
herself and get the breakfast work
started. She gets the boys and girls
upj they yawn and fret, but atflast
they are ready and eat their breakfast
and soon start for school. At school
they study their lesson some, and
complain more of how hard the les
son is. They are permitted to pass
over one or two pages, knowing little
- u. m-| .L"L.
aud at last nothing Of the principles
explained on those pages. They then
pass on for days and weeks in mental
darkness. They dol't know anything
about their lesson; cant answer a
single question can only repeat the
answer after the teacher or some other
scholar has reclted the most of it.
They look at the scholar whoperfectIy
understands every principle Of the
lesson they look at the teacher, who
seems to know all about the lesson,
with wonder and amazement at their
readiness IN answering such difficult
questions, and soon settle down under
the impression that they are not as
smart as the better scholar that they
never can know as much as the
teacher: and this bad habit grows up
on them of relying upon others for
their Information, and when they get
TO be men and women they still have
to RELY on others. Such is the effect
of early training. The consequence is,
that they never amount TO much in
life, Ifany enterprise is before them,
they go to this one and that one for
advice as to what they better do, and
the. COUNSEL they thus obtain are so
conflicting that they absolutely do
nothing, and always remain poor,
doing the drudgeFy Of hfes sol
At seine ether time we will follow
this same class Of boys aRdgirls under
different training, and see what they
then accomplish.

Destructive Bugs.

Since the war the farmers and garden
ers around Petersburg have suffered net a
little from the invasion of at least two
strange bugs, the one depredating on the
wheat, and the other on cabbages. Spec
linens of the former, taken from g wheat
field in Chesterfield, were sent last year
to the Entomologist of the Agricultural
Department They made their appear
ance in myriads at the time the wheat
was in ear, and destroyed its frui tfulness,
apparently by sucking the juices of the
plant. Mr. Glover, the Entomologist, re-
ferred to these insects in his Report, and
expressed the wish that some careful per-
son should note their traits on their reap
pearance this year, and the precise man
ner in which they infict injury on the
crop. We advert to the subject at this
time, in view of the near approach of
harvest, for the purpose Of calling the at
tention Of our friends to the subject, and
requesting them to report the result of
their observations to the Office of the In
dex. Mr.. Glover thinks that they
might have been engaged in feeding on
the nudge, which is sometimes found in
vast numbers in the heads of wheat
While we see no reason for such a. suppo-
sition, seeing that the nudge has not been
troublesome here, yet it would be well to
bear the suggestion in mind at the time of
making observations, which should be
daily during the appearance of the enemy
The other plant bug is beautifully mark
ed, and variegated with red and black,
very numerous, and sometimes ruinous
not only to the cabbage crop, but to all
other cruciform plants, such as radishes,
turnsps, mustard, &c. 1t might have
been noticed last fall at the market hous-
es on almost every lot of cabbages offered
for sale. They have not yet become as
numerous here as in other localities, but
unless some steps are taken to arrest their
progress they may get to be so at an early
day.-Petersburg Inde1.

e. Joy Morris, Minister to Turkey, to
be Recalled

There is the best authority for saying
that the President has determined to re-
call Minister Morris from Turkey at an
early day. At the time Congress adjourn
ed Senator Sumner and others had assu-
RANGES that, for the present at least, Nh.
Morris should not be disturbed; but re-
cent facts which have come to the knowl-
edge Of the President aud Secretary Fish
convince them the change was necessary.
The manner in which Mr.. Morris
brought influence to bear upon the Presi-
dent as well as retained at Constantinople
vexed both President Grant and Secreta-
ry Fish very much.
He had a petition drawn up and signed
by large number of Greek and Russian
merchants and bankers of Constantinople,
who are not at all friendly to the Turkish
Government, praying for his retention
This was addressed to the Secretary of
State, but sent to Senator Sumner to be
delivered to tie Secretary, with the request
that it be laid before the President
Secretary Fish declined to do this, and
seemed highly displeased that Mr.. Morris
had found it necessary to get foreigners
to ask for his retention. Baron Stoecki,
the Russian Minister, also asked that Mr.
Morris be kept in Turkey, probably be-
cause he sympathized with Russia as
against Turkey but this only served to
strengthen the Presidents conviction that
it was for the interest of the Govern
ment to make a new appointment
for this mission. York Post

Another Reported Battle In Cuba.

Private letters have been received from
rebel sources giving accounts Of another
battle between the Spanish troops and the
insurgents. 1t took place on the Sd in
slant, at Las Miras. The Spaniards
numbered 1900 and were under the
command of Lesca. The revolutionary
force was commanded by Quesada in per-
son.
One report says that before the fight
ing commenced Quesada posted native
Cubans in the front, protected by en-
trenchments. and placed force, of four
thousand Dominican and American volun-
teers in their rear, with orders to fire up
on them if they ran. Placed between
two fires, the Cubans fought with desper-
alton. The Spaniards attacked the en-
trenchments three times with the 6ayonet.
The first two assaults were repulsed by
the Cubans. The third was very deter
mined and severe. and the Cubans began
to retreat, when Quesada ordered the rear
guard to the front. They advanced, driv-
ing the Cubans into the front ranks of the
enemy. A hand-to- hand combat ensued,
in which the butchery was horrible.
The SpaniArds finally gave way and re-
treated in good order. Their loss is es-
timated at 100 killed and 800 wounded /;
that of the Cubans at 200 killed and a
proportionate number wounded. After
the fight the rebels marched to San Mig
mel and burned the town in sight of the
retreating Spaniards. 1t is generally be.
lieved that the rebel leaders have changed
their policy in the field, and in future
will fight instead of ret-eating to the
mountains on the appearance of consid-
cradle force of government troops.
In the battle at Altragracia, which
took place on the LIST inst, the Cuban loss
was 200 and the Spanish $50 killed and
wounded The Spaniards here regard
the result of these actions as fatal to the
rebellion, but the Cubans are jubilant over
them as the first great successes Of the
! war for independence,

Our Preiudices.

Don Piatt speaks as follows of one OF
the editors of the Nation, and of what
would be said of him in the great North
west
''There is belief prevalent at the
West that man who parts his hair in
the middle is either feeble minded or in
sane. If to this he adds mutton chop
whiskers, pity gives way to wrath, and
there is an irresistible impulse to assault
the offender with stones.
s'Mr. Donnett will persist. / am sorry
to say, in attacking the principles of the
great Northwest. He is wrong in this,
and puts himself at great disadvantage.
He might assail our political dogmas.-
He could assert that universal suffrage
was not cure for all the ills that flesh is
heir to. He might assert that the La
n,ented was not a second advent or that
the Father of his Country was not seven
feet high and an impossibility of greatness
and virtue. He could attack our religion,
supposing we had any. But let him ap-
pear with hair parted in the middle, and
whiskers, and, to use a
strong, vulgar witticism, he is "a gone
coon skin"

The Virginia Constitution.

The Lynchburg Virginian says that if the
county organization clause in the proposed
constitution is to be retained in it without
a separate vote, it will oppose the whole
constitution. The Richmond Dispatch says
sit is not at all pleased with the action of
the President with regard to Virginia
affairs" and that it regarded him as
pledged to submit not only the disfranchis-
ing features, but servcral others to sep
arate vote. Instead of SO doing, he has
consulted cabinet of crazy radicals. p
We don't know about the "crazy'' if so,
there ismuch method in their madness, y
andthey are working to thoroughly "ra1-
icalize" affairs in Virginia. We believe
it is now generally admitted that the re-
cent Conservative Convention would have
acted wisely had it deferred any action
whatever until the election was ordered in
Virginia. -Alemandria Gazette.
