The attempts to make out Razaine q
traitor to France have signally failed.
Gambetta started the cry of traitor,
and many intelligent people in the Uni
ted States were fully persuaded for a
week or two that Bazaine was really
one, but such infamous conduct cannot
eproved, and we believe it is now gen.
orally discredited.

in quality, less likely 70 lodge, second growth

requires but one bushel Of seed per acre, has
been practically demonstrated by over twenty.
i've thousand farmers, among whom are the
leading minds in agriculture, who have vol
untarially testified in writitg to these facts.
Several prominent Americans, now in Europe,
are arranging to establish a great foreign trade
next year; and are not only encouraged in this
grand enterprise by the people, and Ia some

SuDPrGciaI Education.

General SCHR!vER, Inspector Of the
United States Military Academy, at
West Point, in his annual report, starts
a subject which cannot fail to arrest
the attention Of thinking men in all
parts of the country. He says: The re-
suits OF the late examination have, with
greater force than ever before, directed
the attention of the Academic authori-
ties to the utterly superficial system of
education prevalent throughout the
country. 1t is no longer unusual or
surprising to find candidates, rejected at
West Point for deficiency in the primary
branches OF a common school education,
possessed of diplomas from reputable
seats of learning, attesting their pro-
ficiency in many kinds of knowledge.
Though the requirements for admission
are certainly not beyond the capacity
of an ordinary pupil of the common
schools, old enough to receive cadet
appointment, it is doubtful whether
1.-THE of the vacancies at the Academy
could be filled, without the one year S
preparation for examination provided
for by law" 1t would seem, from the
above official announcement, that the
fast principle of the country and age,
has undermined our systems OF educa-
ton, and its fruits are apparent The
knowledge impaired to pupils is merely
superficial. They have a smattering OF
many things, but are thorough in none.
The forcing principle is adopted, and
scholars are merely dollhouse plants
which fade anddie when exposed to the
hearty, crisp blasts Of contact with the
actual and the real in learning and
knowledge General SCHRyER has
plunged the lancet into tumor which
is eating into the very yitals Of society
and, while the patient may writhc M,
der the operation much COOL must re-
suit from the opening.

those already named in this con
nection, respectfully direct the
attention of the members elect to
Caleb Bogsess, Esq. of Harrison county;
This gentleman is eminently possessed
of all the qualifications necessary for
the faithful and efficient discharge of
the responsible duties of United States
Senator. He would at once stand
prominent among the highest and most
gifted, as a jurist and as a general
scholar; whilst in the order Of purity
and integrity, he would reflect honor on
the Senate and on his own State. Pro
badly there are few, if any of the mem
bers, to whom his ability and integrity
are not known. Conscious that patrl-
otto interest in the well-being and honor
of the State will influence those who
are to elect the United States Senator,
would it not be; well to secure the ser
vices of one so good, so true, and so
capable Of representing our State in
the National Congress. One who
would be on all great questions ballot
ing by the side of Ohio's great and gift,
ed Senator, Judge Thurman.
Respectfully yours,

Immigration.

The State Of West Virginia has an
area of about 26,0)0 square miles and
a population of about 10000 This
gives seventeen persons to each square
mile, or about thirty-seven acres OF
land to each man, woman and child III
the State, or to each family Of five or
six persons farm of about two hun
dred acres. 1t is fact, however, that
the population of the State is largely
congregated in the cities, towns and vii
lagos. 1t is perhaps less evenly dis
tributed over the entire area Of the
State than is the case in the majority of
the other States of the Union. We
have no data at hand concerning the
number OF acres of wild or unimproved
land, but we venture the assertion that
not more than one fifth, possibly a
much smaller proportion, of the area
of the State is embraced in what may
he called improved farms. Practically,
four-fiths of our territory is in condi-
ton of wilderness.
Now what shall we do TO make these
lands productive? We cant farm them
ourselves. Experience in this and
other countries has demonstrated that a
family of five persons cannot farm
more than forty acres to good advan-
tage, and here are five times that area
for each family, even if all our manu-
facturers and merchants were 10 aban-
don their present employments and 60
TO tilling the soil Manifestly we must
have help from abroad; our farming
population must be increased we must
have immigration.
Let us see how it will work. An in
dustrious and frugal man from across
the sea or from one of our neighboring
States, settles on a forty acre tract in
one of our back counties. He brings
with him, Of course, some money for
his necessities during the first year.
He buys from his neighbors something

Of the fact that, in a special election to

one of the Districts Of North Carolina

candidate, HOLDEN, son OF the notori-
Gus Governor of that name, has been

Let us resolve the question. 1t Is because
your organization is naturally delicate, or
you make II so by violating the laws of ma
tuIe. life is burden to tens of thousands
of human beings only on account of the
indulgence of their appetites and passions.
AS an appropriate and legitimate penalty
they are suffering from nervous irritabllity,
irregular sensations, uncontrolled impress
sions, unfounded uneasiness, restlessness,
qualms, misgivings and dependency.
Their tears will flow or laughter break out
unprovoked by sorrow or joy. They are
victims of hidden disease which produce
this fluttering state of animal spirits. Is
not this your condition? What you most
need is Inauguration. MISHLER'S HERB
