Woodhullism.

The Elkader Journal gives the
particulars of an affair in that vi
entity in which the Tiltonian, Wood
hullian theory of marriage and d.
vorce was followed out as exactly
as the limited light of the parties
permitted. It appears that the
young wife Of John Bishop, feeling
called upon to assert, III the Ian
guage of her Woodruff cxemplar,
her ssinalienable, constitutional and
natural right to love whom she
might, to love as long or as short a
period as she could, and to change
that love every day if she pleased"
packed up her buds on Thanksgiv-
ing day and, leaving the house of
her husband, at Elkader, went to
Export, whittier soon after followed
her affinity, one John Williams.
They two then and there proceeded
to the residence of a magistrate,
named Costigan, and were married,
the tickle wife giving out that she
was 4 maid and her. name Maggie
Coulton. The journal ventures
the opinion-perfectly warranted
that the marriage was little bold SO
near her husbands home; but think
of the chance for apotheosis in the
columns of the Golden Age. The
fact, mentioned by the Journal,
that the ex-husband and his too al
Turing successor worked on the
Narrow Guage Railroad, may be
designed as an explanation of, or
apology for this frisky escapade,
but it certainly will be admitted on
all hands that the circumstance es-
tablishes the Decentralization attend
ant upon that style of track. Our
Waterloo friends have the floor.

The st. Louis Times pays this
glowing tribute to the advancing
greatness Of our State. The future
of Iowa is indeed q theme to be en-
thusiastic over:
"The progress Of Iowa has been
butte unexampled among the States
of the West. She has attained a
place in respect to population, inn
provcments and financial solvcncy,
that many older States might envy
Yet, we arc told that cut of some
thirty-five millions Of acres en-
braced within her domain, only nine
millions are cultivated. When it
is rccollected that there is perhaps
less waste land in Iowa than in any
other State, what may not be pre-
dicted Of her future greatness when
her present resources are quadru-
pied and every county teeming with
productive Industry"

Of the good will of newspaper,
the New York Tribune says: "There
is attached to it besides presses,
type, and other material things be-
longing to the outfit Of a newspa-
per-a mysterious and invisible
piece Of property-which cannot
be burned up and is of more value
than all the rest Of it's possessions
combined-its good oiN. 1t is this
which is spiritual and CONNER
cial standard, which comes slowly
and does not 60 easily. being the
gradual and grudging response of
the people to the patient, toilsomc,
honest and nseful work done BY
the press in: the service Of the
public.

The recent rise in freights be
tween the east and west, amounting
to over 200 per cent. on former
rates, is the result Of combination
of the New York Central, New
York & Erie and the Pennsylvania
Central Railroads. Abiding to
the fact that the Baltimore & Ohio
road, as yet, is not a party to the
extortionate conspiracy the New
York Ecomomist makes the flor New
York; damaging admission, that Gas
matters now stand it is to the in
terest Of western importers to avoid
New York entirely, and order their
goods to be sent direct from Europe
by way of Baltimore" It is be-
coming serious question whether
the power Of the Government may
not and should not be interposed to
protect the country against the oP-
pressions of corporations who can
thus, by a single word, make and
unmake the prosperity Of the great
commercial centers. The burdens
placed upon trade by these grasp
ing monopolies are all the time be-
coming more onerous and Cypress
i've. and the demands for relief grow
ing more imperative. This relief
it is the proviaee ofths government
to give, and the prompt breaking
up of ali conbipations designed to
rob him, is Whist every citizen has
a right to expect from the govern.
ment under which he lives.

TOPICAL GEooRAPHY.-The members
of the Jesup Institute requested us to
publish series of Geographical topics,
to be used in connection with map draw
ing.
In compliance we give; first, sys.
tematic classification of the general sub.
ject, the first division of which, athc.
NAUTICAL Geography-appears this week;
the other divisions will follow in their
order, then topics for each Grand divis.
ion.
The synopsis given to-day should be
used as globe lesson, and made gene
raj exercise for the whole school, Each
topic will be full enough for advanced
pupils, and the teacher will use his own
judgment in adapting the work to the
lower grades.

DIVERSITY OF TEXT BooKs.-At the
Winthrop Institute, a teacher who re
ported an attendance of 43 pupils, in
speaking Of text books, said that he had
three kinds Of Readers, two Of Arithme
tics, two Of Grammars and two or three
kinds of Biographies. We can conceive
Of no position more perplexing and dis
couraging to a young teacher than this.
Indeed, the teacher of ripe experience
could hardly expect to do more than
"keep schools under such circumstances;
for with the number of classes required
by this diversity of books, teaching would
be impossible. If there is one condition
upon which all teachers agree as being
absolutely essential to successful teach
ing, it is uniformity of text books. But
the teacher, alone, cannot secure this
uniformity; the law vests the control OF
this matter in the Board of Directors
and we respectfully call the attention OF
the Washington Board to this, believing,
however, that the case mentioned is ex-
ceptional - awnship-

Dun TOWNSHIP INsTITUTEs--We regret
that the announcement for the Brandon
Institute, which comes off tomorrow,
was crowded out last week. An Insti.
tute is to be held this week at Quasquc.
ton, also, but no notice has been received
for publication Failures of this kind
are fatal to the interest Of these meetings,
and to prevent their recurrence, would
it not be well for the chairman of each
meeting to appoint, early in the session,
committee to make arrangements for
the next meeting, said committee to re-
port at the close of the session? By this
method all present would receive person
al notice of the assignment of work,
while the same would be published as a
part of the Secretary's report.

TEACHERS COLUMN.
s q. PIERCE Editor

Well, well! how this moving derangcs
matters. Here are announcements for
meetings that occurred week before last,
and for others that ought to have been held
last week; reports of three Institutes,
essays and items for a whole broad-side
of the BULLETIN, a regular jam, and all
because our chief must set up a new
press in q new building. And then
came the Presidents Message and crowd
ed us to the wall last week. We held
our own opinion us to the relative i'm
portance of that document and the
Teachers Column, but the Judge, being
politician, saw it differently, and that
one article was compromise. Now If
our correspondents, or Eye pedagogs,"
who spent last Saturday in wandering
up and down the road from Winthrop to
Jesup, making earnest inquiry all the
way for Teachers Institutes, have any.
thing scored up against us for this long
delay, we beg to refer them to Judge To-
man and President Grant.
