The Local Value Of
Schools,

Among other things the Clarks-
vile Tobacco Leaf, is cramming
the school question down the
tbfoats of its readers, and we like
its style and arguments SO well
that we adopt a portion of a recent
editorial, for local consideration
and appreciation:
This is a subject very few peo-
pie understand. We may leave
out of view, altogether, the i'm.
provement in education, standing
and refinement of communities,
long blessed with good schools,
which things are above all price,
and We can show that in a mere
financial point of view, their value
is not easily estimated. You may
60 into the woods and lay the
foundation of a first class college
or university, and very soon a
town grows up about it. A COL
lege of four or FIVE hundred stu
dents will soon develop about a
town of 1900 inhabitants. Four
hsndred students spending $500
each, spend in the aggregate $780,
900 a year, nor does the money
60 into the haLds of a few capital
lists, to be invested and lost to the
circulation Immediately, but it is
paid to all classes of the commu-
nifty. Every grocer, huckster,
butcher, merchant, gardener, far.
mer, washerwoman, gets each
share, and it passes freely along
little rills of trade, spreading
cheeriulness and contentment ev-
erywhere. Machinery runs
smoothly when there is oil on all
the bearings. Political economy
teaches that all its forces are CO.
operative, each giving the other
more strength than if it operated
alone.

THE FIRsTsUIT.

Put away the little dresses
Mammals boy is four years old;
Spare awhile the silken tresses,
Shining in the sun like gold;
For, though papa seems to fear it,
None little girl will see
In the sturdy form with trowSers
Ending at the dimpled knee.
From the cap, with waving feather,
To the snug and shapely boot,
Copper-toed for stormy weather,
Perfect in the boyish suit;
Belt and button, cuff and collar,
All as neat as neat can be;
And the crowning pride the trowsers,
Coming to the dimpled knee.
All my boy, the house is ringing
With the shouts of glad surprise
And, myself, l feel like singing
For the beaming of your eyes.
Would that mother-love could follow,
And her darling always see
Just as happy as this birthday,
With the trowsers at the knee
OFF to play, so qpick, 20 eager,
How he feels the thrill within
Of the restless, boyish nature
He to all mankind akin
Four ! with what contempt he gazes
On the girlish robes Of three
One would think he'd long been wearing
Little trowsers to the knee.
Co. my boy all angels watch you
In the gladness Of your day;
Clouds will come and rain and sorrow,
But they still are lar away.
We will chill with no forebodings,
Yet, Pll pray on bended knee,
Wheresoe'er he drifts, my Father,
Let him not go far from thee!

Accommodation at the
Bank.

A capital example of what is
termed "taking the starch out, "
happened in a country bank in
New England. A pompous,
well dressed individual entered
the bank, and addressing tho
teller, who is something of a
wag, inquired:
''Is the cashier imp.
mo, sir" was the reply.
"Well, l am dealing in pens,
supplying the New England
banks pretty largely, and l sup
pose it will be proper for me to
deal with the cashier"
II suppose it WILL" said the
teller.
"Very well, l will wait"
The pen dealer took a chair
and sat composedly for a full
hour, waiting for the cashier
by that time he began to grow
uneasy, but sat twisting in his
chair for about twenty minutes.
and, seeing no prospect for a
change in his circumstances,
asked the teller how soon the
would be in.
"Well, / don't know exactly"
said the waggish teller, "but /
expect him in about eight
weeks. He has just gone to
Lake Superior, and told me he
would be back in that time" {"
Peddler thought he would not
wait.
ooh. you may stay if you
wish," said the teller very bland
ly. "We have no objection to
your sittingher in the day time,
and you can probably find some,
place in town where they would
be glad to keep you at night"
The pOmpous peddler disap-
peared without another word.

At length it is proved that man
has more vanity than woman
This is the way it came to pass
A curious investigator watched
while Thousand men passed a
looking glass used as sign on the
Sidewslk in Broadway. The re-
suit of his observation showed
that nine hundred and ninty.nine
men glanced complacently at their
image as they passed. The other
man was blind. Four hundred
and 6fty-two women passed during
the same hour and half, and
none of them looked in the mirror

tently examining each others ap-
pearance and dress.

came to the Platte, down which
they followed the overland trail tc
Benard's Branch. Under some
tpretense or other, the brother in.
daced his partner to accompany
him to the lonely pass, where dis
l.arminga him, he securely tied him
hand and foot, and then bound
him to the rock. At frst the
partner thought it was some cru.
rel joke, but when he produced
the letter and read it, the poor
man knew that his time had come
He confessed all and asked to be
shot. But the brother had an.
other fate in storesfor his victim.
Coolly he sat down by the rock
to see bis partner starve to death.
On the third day the i'll fsted man
signed the deed bequeathing all
his property to the injured girl,
and the brother attached a fcti.
tious name as witness Of the in.
strument, by the terms of which
be was made the executor of bis
partners estate. He then wrote
letters saying be had fallen very
i'll of fever on the plains, and if
be did not recover, these letters
would be delivered by his beloved
partner. All this the infuriated
brother compelled the poor man
to do and then quietly awaited
the end. Day by day the partner
grew weaker and the brother
gloated over his misery, often
reading to him the letter from his
mother. ~. --.s 81
The poor man promised to
marry the girl and make all the
reparation in his power to the
family, but the brother was deaf
to entreaties. At last the partner
dwindled to a skeleton, died, and
the brother, after buryiug his VIC
Tins emaciated corpse In the sand,
resumed his journey to St. Louis.
There he gave out that bis partner
had died while on bis way
through the Rocky Mountains,
and in proof of his assertion, de-
livered the letters. The will was
also proved, and the girl became
the dead mans heir. Two years
afterwards the brother was shot
by Indians, and before he died he
confessed what he had done.
Some hunters visited the place
and dug up the skeleton, around
the neck Of which still was the
chain by which the poor man,
when living, had been fastened to
the fatal rock. The spot is still
pointed out to travellers, and the
.ale told Of how the brother day

One day last summer, a far
mer's wife in Stark county, India
ma sent out to her husband in the
field, his d rner in a basket Soon
after eating it he fell sick, and
came TO the house, bringing the
basket with him. As soon as he
arrived he was seized With a con-
vulsion which terminated in death.
His wife paid no attention to him
until she had secured the basket
and its contents. The man who
took the basket into the field was
afterward found to be the guilty
wife's paramour. The pair were
arrested for the murder of the hus.
band, and their trial is now in
progress at Knox, the county seat
of Stark county.

Cholera Checked.
From the New York Evening Post


There now seems to be fair
hope that the advance Of
the cholera has been check
ed. We have heard but lit
tie of its ravages in Russia,
and the news from Constantine
pie that the disease had disap-
peared is encouraging. During
last September and the latter
part of August, it will be re-
membered, western Europe was
threatened by an advance of the
destroyer in two different direc-
tions,t the route being from Cher
son, Russia, to Moscow, and
thence by way of Konigs-
burg, Dantzic and Stettin, in
Prussia, to Hamburg, whence
we feared its emigration to this
city; the southern route was from
Cherson ny way Of Debretzin and
Vienna, in Austria, to southern
Germany and France. Neither
Of those courses of the disease
included Constantinople, but
the fact that it was raging there
endangered all the Mediterra-
mean ports Of Europe, and its
disappearance proves, appa-
rently, that the source Of the
plague in Asia, where it reached
Bosphorus, has been exhaus-
ted. The source was the same
as that from which the cholera
crossed the Black sea to Cher
son, in Russia; it came from the
east, and touched the Euxine at
Trebizond. This place is due
east from Constantinople, and
the disease has nearly disap-
peared there also; with their
commercial relations it could
har1ly exist in one place and
not in the other. Of course,
the fact, that the source Of the
cholera is thus exhausted is not
positive evidence that we shall
escape; but even if it should
reach our shores, its ravages
will be much less than if it were
aggravated by new suppliesfrom

Brake.

Aman appeared lately In Mauch

man up there, who treated this

sir-brake wouldn't stop train any

stretcher, with an abiding faith in

thinks it's usefulness would be i'm

improve upon the machine, so as
