THE WARD NOMINATIONS
will be found in full on one Of our inside pages The
following is a copy OF protest which was presented
last evening in the Fifteenth Ward Convention, but
for some reason was not permitted to be read:-
The undersigned protest against the nomination
OF DIR. William w. Burnell as the candidate Of the
Republican party of this ward for the Select Councils
y Because II. During the whole progress OF the
war against rebellion he was in active cooperation
by the City Councils Director of Girard College,
member OF the Chicago Convention, and Trustee
of the City Gas Works, in which latter capacity he
was remarkable for the bitterness with which he
pursued these i'm the employ Of the Trustees who
were loyal to the Government.
2. Because, member Of the Chicago Conven-
tion after the against the Rebellion had been in
progress more than four years ne voted ''that tne
war was failure that the administration OF Lin
coin was opposed to public liberty and private right
and that justice, humanity, liberty, and the public
welfare demanded change
q Because altogether DR. Burner came to this
country after he had reached manhood he has
already held public ONCE during nearly the whole
time since his naturalization III indeed he be natu-
rallied ctzen) while there are thousands Of citizens
quite as intelligent and deserving OF confidence who
have never held public office.
4. Because his nomination is an insult to the
memory of the honored dead who gave their lives to
save the country from the control OF his late pOliti
cal friends and to the living heroes who carry scars
received In defense of the flag Of the Union.
5. Because we believe an overwhelming majority
of Republican voters of the ward will reject his
nomination as one not fit TO be made.

VERY LovIXG.-Our correspondent at South
Vallejo writes US that loving couple from So
noma county, whose hearts had been taught to
I" beat as one, " took passage on the steamer New
World, last evening, for San Francisco, where
they no doubt intend to spend the honeymoon.
Some incidents on the boat were pathetic. The
young husband threw his around the form
of his pretty wife, kissed her, patted her cheeks,
played with her earrings, raised her veil slyly,
and then would drop it again, held candy in his
mouth which she would bite from, while the
two cast at each other the most amorous glances,
all regardless of the giggling of ladies and laugh

stewardess offered them stateroom, which they
departed for, thereby dropping the curtain"

the annexed:
From John NJ. Murphy, of Patterson, we learn
the following particulars About twenty-eight
miles beyond Patterson, toward Shoshone dis
trict, is low range of mountains. Some pros
pectors, in crossing this range, found in the
midst of the scoria a form ttion of granite, ex-
tending some fifteen miles along the mountains.
In the midst of this granite these prospectors
found spot of limestone, containing an acre
and halt through which seven distinct veins
of liver are traceable These veins are from
two to three feet in width, and the ore is chlo-
ride and horn silver, and yields S20s per ton by
mill process. How that spot of limestone:

Is the World Growing Larger

Is there not reason to believe that this world is
daily increasing in size Is there not an action
taking place on its surface analogous to that
which occurs in plastic cell when placed in
circumstances favorable for its development!
To illustrate this thought, we plant little acorn
weighing few grains, in the ground. In the
course of time it becomes he large oak, weigh
ing thousands of pounds, and spreading its
branches far and wide in every direction. This
oak gets its weight and bulk principally from the
air we breathe, and remains upon the earth
thousands of years perhaps, and undergoes
great many changes before it is finally restored
to the atmosphere, even if this event ever does
take place. So. animals derive their weight and
bulk partly from the air they breate into their
lungs, and partly from the vegetable productions
which they devoar When animals die, their
bodies, il is Tue are partly decomposed into gas,
aud restored to the atmosphere, but they are
principally seized upon and appropriated by
growing vegetables which in their turn are de-
voured by other animals. 1t thus seems to me
that the earth, through the agency of its animals
and vegetable productions, must be daily in
creasing at the expense of the atmosphere by
which it is surrounded. In other words, the
plants and animals of the earth are all the time
appropiating to themselves the elements of the
atmosphere, and forming out of them new COM
pounds which remain upon the earth, an almost
indefinite length of time before they are decom-
posed and restored to the atmosphere This idea
is illustrated in our coal mines. All coal was
originally wood, and like all wood, was formed
principally at the expense of the elements of the
atmosphere. This coal has remained upon the
earth millions of years. perhaps, and now at
length men. urged on by their necessities, are
digging it up, and burning it, restoring it in the
shape of carbonic acid TO the atmosphere, from
which it originally came. No one, seems to me,
can doubt that the Garth is larger now than it
was when this coal existed in the form of wood.
Although the world may be increasing now, it
does not follow that it will continue to increase
for al time sooner or later Au equilibrium will
be established between the amounts of element
ary principles which the earth takes from and
restores to the atmosphere. But at present, in
my opinion, it is like growing animal its alb
sorpton exceeds its waste. In word, our
planet is no. ii full grown earth it is merely an
'earthling '-Scientifc american.

AN INCIDENT AT WHITE PINE.-The Hamilton
Inland Empire Of October sth is responsible for
the following:
Yesterday we strolled into a place of public
resort Main street. Standing by the counter
was lady dressed in deep morning, with the
pensive and melancholy look which in beauti-
ful woman is so touching and eloquent. Lean
ing upon elbow, and with the deicately
gloved fingers of the other land beating upon
the counter a noiseess tattoo, she made pic
ture which we desert wanderers ever covet to see.
We we're admiring this picture shyly and won-
dering if any other land could claim fairer one,
when suddenly the lady reused herself from her
fit Of abstraction and turning round with sleep
walkers lonk in her eyes, exclaimed, GO They are
ID swindlng thieves, every son of b-h of
them" We left suddenly, sadder and wiser.
We understand the lady (you may know she is a
lady by the remark she made,) had deposits in
the National Bunk, Hamilton agency.

his sister, who was married to a Yankee. The
couple lived very happily in New York, and
when Pat came, the gentleman took him over
his place to show it to him. Pat, at the evil
dences of prosperity, said to his brother-in-law :
Begorra, you are happy, here with this fine
property to live on. Ne sister had good luck in
tirey, so she had, in gettin' you for husband. -
"Ah, yes," responded the married man ave
would be very happy but for one thing" "And

MANNERs.-Young folks should be mannerly

MANNERs-Young folks should be mannerly.
How to be SO is the question. Many good boy
and girl feel that they cannot behave to suit
themselves in the presence of company. They
feel timid, bashful, and self-distrustful the mo-
ment they are addressed by stranger or appear
in company. There is but one way to get over
this feeling and acquire graceful aud easy man
ners, that is, to do the best they all the
time at home, as well as abroad. Good manners
are not learned from arbitrary teachings so much
as acquired from habit. They grow upon by
use. We must be courteous, agreeable, civil,
kind, gentlemanly and womanly at home, and
then it will soon become kind of second nature
to be so everywhere. A coarse, rough manner
at home begels habit of roughneSs, which we
cannot lay off if we try, when we 90 among
strangers. The most agreeable people we have
ever known in company are those that per-
fectly agreeable at home. Home is the school
for all best things, especially for good manners.

LrARsIse.-It is not learning that is dislike

LEARNISe.-It is not learning that is disliked
in women, but the ignorance and vanity which
generally accompany it. woman's learning is
like the fine clothes of an upstart, who is anxious
to exhibit to all the world the riches SO uuex-
pectedly acquired. The learning of a man, on
the contrary, is like hereditary rank, which hav-
ing grown up with him, and being in a manner
interwoyen with his nature, he is almost uneon-
scious of possessing it. The reason of this diff
ference is the scarcity of the commodity among
females, which makes every one who possesses a
little fancy herself prodigy. As the sum total
increases, we may reasonably hope that each
will become able to bear her share with better
grace.

Autumn Days.

Fire fire! upon the maple bough
The red flames of the frost!
Fire! fire! by burning woodbine, see,
The cottage roof is crossed!
The hills are hid by smoky hazel
Look how the roadside sumachs blazei
And on the withered grass below
The fallen leaves like bon-frss glowi
Come, let us hasten to the woods
Before the sight is lost:
For few and brief the days when burn
The red fires of the frost;
When loud and rude the north wind blows,
The ruddy splendor quickly goes;
But now, hurrah. those days are here,
The best and lovelest Of the year!

Stiff box made green the border,
And small blue violets, half ashamed,

Aloud in Revelation;
1t seemed like Sunday and like church,
With two for congregation.

To keep the place in reading.
I wandered down by balm and rue,
And clumps of Chna-aster;

With heart-beats somewhat faster.
Do you remember how the vine
Grew close DER all the arbor;

In all dreamer's glory;

HEALTH OF School CHILDREN.-The Medical
college of Middesex, Massachusetts, having for
long time considered the influence of public
schools the health of children authorized the
publication of the following as the opinions of
its members:
/. No child should be allowed to attend school
before the beginning of its sixth year.
2. The duration of daily attendance-nclud-
ing the time given to recess and physical exer-
cises-should not exceed four and a-half hours
for the primary schools five aud a-half for other
schools.
3. There shoald be no study required out of
school-unless at high school, and this should
not exceed one hour.
4. Recess time should be devoted to play out
side of the school-room-unless during stormy
weather-and this time rightfully belongs to
the pupils, they should not be deprived Of it ex-
cept for serious offenseS and those who not
deprived of it should not be allowed to spend it
in study, and child should ever be confiued
to the school-room during entire session. The
minimum of recess time should be fifteen min
utes each session. and in primary schools there
should be more than one recess in each session.
5. Physical exercise should be used in school
to prevent nervous and muscular fatigue aud TO
relieve monotony, but not as muscular training.
1t should be practced by both teacher and chill
dren in every hour not broken by recess, and
should be timed by music In primary schools
every half hour should be broken by exercise,
recess or singing.
6. Ventilation should be amply provided for
by other means than by open windows, though
these should be used in addition to special
means during recess and exercise time.
Z. Lessons should be scrupulously appor-
toned to the average capacity of the pupils; and
in primary schools the slate should be used more
and the books less, and the instruction should
be given as much as possible on the principle Of
"object teaching"
