and G. T. Gallagher, of Pinkerton's Chica-
20 Detective Agency, and Detective Con-

Harrington, alias Henry Clark, and William

trains at Moscow and Union City on the
Mobile and Ohio railroad last July and Oc-

the Atlantic and Pacific railroad, in the ex-
treme southwestern part of this State, and
were captured only after the houses in
which they took refuge were securely barri-
caded from the outside, and then set on fire.
They are desperate characters, and are
charged with murder as well as robbery.
Their arrest. it is believed, will have the eff
feet to break up one of the worst gangs of
desperadoes ever in the West.

Every young man, after he has chosen
his vocation, should stick to it. Don't leave
it because hard blows are to be struck, or
disagreeable work performed. Those who
have worked their way up to wealth and
usefulness, do not belong to the shiftless
and unstable class, but may be reckoned
among such as took off their coats, rolled
up their sleeves, and conquered their preju-
dices against labor, and manfully bore the
heat and burden Of the day.-Erek0sg

The proceedings OF the House were yes
terdayIvery pleasantly varied by the
presentation of an elegant cane
to Mr.. Speaker Richardson by the
members of the body over which he has
presided with so much grace, dignity and
ability. The terms in which the Represen-
tative from Robertson, Hon. Boyd NJ.
Cheatham, as the spokesman Of
his feIlow-members, made the presentation
were most appropriate and felicitous. Both
the manner and matter were in exceedingly
good taste, and reflect great credit upon the
heart and head of the Representative from
Robertson. The replSu of Mr.. Speaker
Richardson was of that quiet dignity, unaf-
fected modestg and real feeling which would
naturally come from so genuine gentle
man. The affair passed of most pleasantly
and most deseryingly for all concerned.

AFRAID OFrNYEsTrGATTOS.

The louisville Ledger, noticing the de-
feat Of Senator Trumbull's effort to secure
an investigation Of official corruption by the
Grant administration and its appointees,
says: q The Een who wear Grants collar
outnumber the honest men. Whenthe Pres
ident wields patronage Of four or five hun
dred millions, and is a candidate f'r re-
election, after filing his own pockets
and those Of his friends, investigation
Is not to be. thought of. So much
Cor that civil service which
Grant promised in his message while pre-
pairing to have it attacked in his own organ,
and obstructed by his friends in Congress.
It is Tammany tactics, ard there is
worse than Tammany scoundrelism at the
bottom Of It. Too many colossal fortunes
have been made by the Presidents friends,
and this refusal to permit thorough inves-
tigation is confession that theft turks in all
the crypts of the Treasury and that all
branches of the public service are fostering
with corruption. Bul one course remains
for honest Republicans; they must make
common cause with the people against their
piunderers."

One of the best of the many excellent
things which Superintendent johnson has in
troduced for the improvement of our teach
ers and common schools, also one of the
simplest, is his Institute Certificate. This is
a certificate in which the teachers proficiency
in the several branches required to be taught,
as shown by examination at the Institute, is
marked by figures ranging from 0 to 10, and
this is signed by the Conductor of the Inst-
tute and the County Supervisor. 1t not only
shows the school officers the merits and de-
fcences of the candidate, but makes them
plain to himself As stimulus to better
qualification on the part of the teachers it is
excellent, and under it, simple as it appears,
we doubt not the character of teachers will
make rapid and marked Improvement. 1t is
a ''tell-tale thing" OF wonderful efficacy.
