Total expense to the city.............$io,oS oSS 90
The educational associations and the
Government will continue their aid in the
form of teachers salaries and rent of
buildings during the remaining months OF
the scholastic year. ...
The 1000 pledged from the Peabody
educational fund is yet to be received.
Aside from what will be received from these
sources, the expense Of conducting the schools
the remaining five months of the year will
be $4,000. The unexpended balance Of the
city appropriation of SIS, ,000is very nearly
S., 900. An additional appropriation of
49, 900 will therefore be necessary to enable
the Board to continue the schools until June
30th proximo and to meet it's present obli-
cations.
Thus, at an expense to the city of $751;
600, fully three thousand children will re-
ceive the benefit of excellent schools. The
cost to the city for each pupil for the entire
year is but Sc. - 10
In addition to paying the larger part of
the rentals, as appears above, the Govern
ment has furnished "a fact not elsewhere
noticed in this reporD buildings accommo-
dating six schools and the school furniture
for two-thirds Of all the schools. 1
am assured that all this property, with
the real estate at present in the possession
of the Government in this city, will be
turned over to the city for school purposes,
and probably before the close of the year.
WHO ATTEND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The question is frequently asked, Whnt
class of children attend the public schools !:
The rules exclude none on account Of wealth
or poverty. So far as property is concerned,
oil GLASSES are represented. Children from
families enjoying liberal incomes mingle
on terms of entire equality with those leas
favored. s..., go, ~. '.si,. sfE$
The vicious, the insnbordinate, and the
morally bad, are, earsfully excluded,
whether rich or poor. ezi.~si II i.s44

A Chapter in Red clouds Life.

Colonel Thomas Moonlight writes to
the Leavenworth Bulletin that the feting
of Red Cloud and his warriors at Wash
ington reminds him of several things as
follows:
1 could not help thinking of the time
when Red 6losd and his band swept
down upon Kansas ia 1864, while our
men were in the Union army, hghtlpg
under the same Grant for the preserva-
ton Of the Union, and ruthlessly muir
deripG qur women and children on the
Blue and adjoining streams; how they
returned westward BY ths Eay of Plum
creek, killing every human being Lat
crossed their path, on to within a few
miles Of Denver; bow they repeated the
dose from Fort kearney westward, in the
winter of 1864 and early in the spring of
1865; hog, in the dead Of winter, after
returning from the Price raid, the Eley-
enth Kansas was forced 20 march over
the plains without proper clothing or
sufficient ratioBs, sleeping in the snow
night after night, without tent or cover
ing; how they reached Fort Laramie in
March, 1865, and were scattered by com
panies and battalions all along the Platte
and as far up as the Sweet Water how
in conjunction with companies of the
0bis end Iowa cavalry they captured
almost the eGSre Sioux nation operating
in the Platte country ky the middle of
MAY following, and held them p,;scners
al Laramie; how the following chiefs,
Wild their tribes, we're among the cap
tured and osIfessed themselves as having
been Of those who oosUltted all the
depredations in Kansas, along the line
of the Platte westward: Red Cloud and
tribe. Spotted Tail and tribe, Standing
Elk and tribe, Little Thunder and tribe,
Baptisia AID tgibs; bow there was cap
tnred with them the great ohief Of the
Sioux nation, Black Foot and bis second
in commsad. Two Face; how these chiefs
held as prisoner With them, when they
were captured, one Of 0GE Kansas
women Mrs. Ewbanks), taken from
her home on the Blue after seeing
ber husband and family murdered
and hes cabin burned; how she
related to me ber tssaiment while serving

Few ever lived to great age, and
fewer still ever became distinguished,
who were not in the habit Of early rising.
You rise late, and of course commence
your business at a late hour, and every
thing goes wrong all day. Franklin says
that he who rises late may trot all day,
and not have overtaken his business at
night Dean Swift AYERS that he never
knew man to come to eminence who
lay in bed of morning.
This is one Of the solemn fallacies that
we're created good many years ago, and
the paper that seriously prints it at this
time ought TO be abolished. The truth
is, that, except TO exceedingly strong
constitutions, the morning air is abso-
lutely poisonous, particularly if taken
upon an empty stomach. Fourteen
hours formerly constituted day work;
and ten, frequently eight, and occasion
ally six, are deemed amply sufficient now.
The world is no worse for the change,
and certainly the people are no less
healthy and happy. Of the few hours
thus taken from labor perhaps half are
given up to the morning sleep; and ex-
perienee demonstrates that in nearly
every case more perfect rest is given the
body and brain by sleep in the early
morning than in the middle of the night.
That industry which takes a man out of
his bed at the very time that he most en-
Joys sleep is a spurious article. That
energy which gets man up in a cold
room, of cold morning, by the blue
light of frozen candle, TO freeze to death
