On Frank Seaman's farm on
Brush creek, near Andy Ellison's,
is the remains of u fort built by the
extinct race of people who inhabited
this continent thousands of years
ago. This fort was swept over by
the recent freshet and the ground
washed considerably, leaving on the
surface the remains of stone axes,
flint darts, pieces of pottery, and
many other evidences of the ha6di-
work of its occupants. Mr.. Ellison
left at our Office a specimen of the
pottery, which is singular in ap-
pearance and composition, and
shows that it's maker was greatly
skilled in its manufacture. One OF
its component parts is muscle shell,
ground up, and the other is some
dark colored substance that we are
not able to tell. In the vicinity OF
this fort are many mounds and all
through the neighborhood are traces
of these mysterious and unknown
aborigines who existed, it may be-
$4,000 or 100000 years ago and
tramped up and down on the strataE

The New York Herald, in speak

Seven years have not suficed to blot
out of the minds of the people the
debt of gratitude they owe to the
successful leader of the Union ar

Business Law.

The following brief compilation
of business law is worth a careful
preservation, as it contains the es>
sence of a large amount Of legal
verbiage:
1t is not legally necessary to say
on a note "for value received"
A note made on Sunday is void.
Contracts made on Sunday can
not be enforced.
A note by minor is void.
A contract made with a minor is
void.
A contract made with a lunatic is
void.
A note obtained by fraud, or from
a person in a state of intoxication,
can not be collected.
If note is lest or stolen, it does
not release the maker; he must pay
1t, if the consideration for which it
was given and the amount can be
proven.
An endorser of note is exempt
from liability if not served with no
tice of dishonor within twenty-four
hours of its non>payment.
Notes bear interest only when 80
stated.
Principals are responsible for the
acts of their agents.
Ignorance of the law excuses no
one.
It is a fraud to conceal a fraud.
The law compels no one to dc
impossibilities.
An agreement without considera'
tion is void.
Signatures made with lead pen
Gil are good in law.
A receipt for money is not always
conclusive.
The acts of one partner bind all
the rest.

County Boards of Examiners.

DALLAS, June 1872.
Mr.. EDIToR:-State School Com
missioner Harvey thus sets forth the
importance of the County School
Examiners Office:
"No school, officers occupy posi-
tions of greater responsibility than
county School Examiners. The ex-
ceedingly important duty of pro-
tecting the youth of the State
against the baleful influence of viz
cious example and professional char
lataury, is theirs. Our children are
trained to walk in wisdom's ways
whenever this duty is faithfully and
conscientiously performed, ignor-
ance and immortality invade and
polute the school-room whenever it
is neglected.
"It is not too much for the friends
of our School system to demand,
that the utmost care be exercised in
the selection of these officials. They
should be men of integrity and
moral worth. They should be
practical men, not mere theorizers
or hobby riders. They should be
acquainted with the teachers of
their counties, and, when practical
BILE, devote a portion of their time
to the examination of schools.
They should be firm in the per-
formance OF known duties, and
willing to assume responsibilities
when necessary. That County
Examiners are not all such, cannot
be denied; but, it is believed that,
as class, they are competent, just,
prudent, and fearless.
"Complaint is frequently made
that certificates are occasionally
granted to known failures-to those
who are unable either to teach or tC
manage a school. 1t would be
strange, indeed, if this were moi
sometimes done. Fact and common
sense, as well as scholastic attain
ments, are essential to success in
: teaching. The time that can be de
voted to examinations is necessarily
. limited, and it rarely happens tina
. Examiners have the means o
| knowing the habits, the associations
f the personal history of applicants
Their decision is frequently nothing
more than a "good guess" A
/ long as Local Directors persist il
hiring the lowest-priced teachers
3 they may expect to be imposed up

} tent. They should be more eau
t tious than they are, and not EN-

Results of Grants Administra-
ton.

Hon. Mr.. Hale, of Maine, in re-
cent speech in Congress, summed
up the financial results that have
been accomplished from the begin
ming of President Grants admins
tration down to the first of April
last, as follows Reduction of annu-
al taxation, over $3O8,OOO,OOO re-
duction of annual expenditures,
1926, ,632 ,228.74; reduction of prin-
cipal of National debt, $315, ,131,- )
730.67; reduction of annual interest
on National debt, $20,248,552. AS
Horace Greeley once upon a time
said, he is ignorant and foolish who
supposes that such financial show
ing will not be an extraordinarily
strong argument in favor of the re-
election of Pres ident Grant.

tionists, who not only object, but
(and blush to record it, actually
stand in the way of its enforcement !
The principal objection of these
miserable, contentious grumblers is,
that for the Board of Education to
attempt to interfere, in the classif-
cation of a school, is contrary both
to the letter and spirit of the School
Law of Ohio.
This pretty and foolish objection
is fully answered, and thoroughly
refuted, in such a way as to add
fresh laurels to those already
won. The honorable Board admits
that the law gives them no authori-
ty to pass such resolution, and that
it has gone contrary to the letter
and the spirit of the law. But the
eminent Christian gentlemen and
philanthropists who compose the
Board, go back to higher authority
than the law. They go back to
Holy Writ. Here is their argu-
ment, and 1 challenge the orations
of Charles Sumner, or Wendell
Phillips, or any other orator of
either ancient or modern times, to
produce its equal. Let it be read
by every lover of the English Ian
guage! Let it be treasured up on
the page of history, and handed
down to posterity as the greatest
achievement of the intellect of the
nineteenth century. Here it is:
"Paul says that all things are
la1CfuI, but all things are not ezpe-
dient. Now we admit that this res
olution is not lawful. But there is
an old proverb which says, that it is
ga poor rule that won't work both
ways" Consequently, if PauI's
rule is good one, it will work both
ways, and reversing it we may safe
ly say, that all things are. espedient,
but all things are not Ia,cful. Then
if all things are expedient, it must
be expedient to make the races re-
cite separately in our schools
Therefore, we have right to make
and enforce this resolution ~
In conclusion, permit me to ad-
dress n word to members of Boards
Education in other townships. Gen
tlemen, for the sake of humanity,
for the sake of yourselves, for the
sake of your posterity, for the sake
of long down-troddeu race, meet
as soon as possible and adopt this
resolution for the government of
your schools. Do not try to alter it,
for you cannot improve upon it. But
adopt, and enforce it, as it is, and
our country will be saved. May
the good work so happily inaugu-
rated go on, from township to town
ship, from county to county, from
State to State, till the whole nation
is overshadowed by its benign in
fuepce, till it shall shake the earth
from centre to circumference.

Cp IN the gsrret tho grandmother sits,
Under the rAftrrs dark ana low,
Sorting over the faded bits
OF woolen and silk and calico:
And the children wonder Es, peeping in,
They watch the old lady her task begfn,
Why the aged hands, so wrinklsd and thin,
Should tremble aud be 90 slow.
Bun away, ye careless ones, to your play;
Let he7 muse for awhile alone;
These faded remnants. once bright and gay,
Have q history-eVery onei
And this is the reason the RrAndame sighs,
And the binding tears that unbijden rise
She paused to wipe from those fsdsd eyes,
Whose weeping she thought was done.
This siIk, whose color she scarce can tell
Laid away with such prize and care,
Was the bridal robe-.hs remembers we'll

For she knows full well, in that land Of light,
Unfading and spotless, clean and white,
Are the garments the rAnsomsd wear.
And these tiny shreds Of old, soft lace,
Which the years have turned gray,
How they bring before her the baby face
That within these rufdss lay
And her heart leaps over the days that remain
Till she clasps In her arms her hsbs again,
While her withered heart feels yesrning pain
For the little one called away.
And now she has found scrap Of blue,
Aud she brushes away a tear
As she thinks OF her soldier son 80 true
To his country-to her 30 deari
A bit Of blue that her brave boy WIRE

She listens In vain, on the Osken tioOr,
For the footsteps she liked to hear.
And thus she Iabors and thinks and dreams
While memories fast arise,
Till the fading light of evening seems
To come with Swift surprise;
And the children that night in the chimney mock
Looking up at length from their picture book
See the foId.d hands and the shadowy look
or tears In her kindly eyes.

TRUST.

Though tangled hard life's knot may be,
And wearily we rue it,
The silent touch of Father Time
Some day will sure undo it.
Then, darling, watt
Nothing Is late
In the light that shinec forever.
We faint at heart, friend is gone;
We weep. for grave is filing;
We tremble at sorrows on every side,
At the myriad ways of killing
Yet, after all,
If sparrow fall,
Our Lord keepeth count forever.
He keepeth count. We come, we go,
We speculate, toll and Galtsr;
But the measure to each, of veal or wee,
God only can give or alter.
Thon why not say,
From day to day,
'tThy will be done fOreverf
Why not take life with cheerful trust,
With faith in the strength Of weakness,
Doing the best We can to walk
With courage, yet with meekness,
Lifting the face
To catch Gods grace,
That lights the soul forever.
Forever and ever, my darling, yes,
Goodness and love are undying;
Only the troubles and cares Of earth
Are sure in the end to go flying.
Fleeting as bubbles
Arc cares and troubles.
And 'now" is a speck that tricks Us ever,
Till it floats and is lost in the vast "forsVsr."

Talk Up Your Town.

We find the following in the Con-

it expresses our ideas so we'll that
we gladly give it place in our col
umns.
Talk up and work up your town,
and your own townsmen and busi-
ness. Give encouragement 20 every
useful and creditable enterprise in
your midst, for as certain as effects
follow cause, so certain will every
enterprise of merit repay every cit
izen. We cannot live unto ourselves
and we cannot discourage any
movement in behalf of place with
out inficting upon ourselves a per-
sonal injury. If you see a needed
improvement for the town, demand
it and talk it up vigorously until
the whole community is impregnat-
ed with the idea-until a storm of
public sentiment compels the work.
Don't stop because some poor num-
my, out of whom has withered all
public spirit and love Of advance
ment, means out his sepulchral
whine, alt won't pay" Show to
your live fellows that it will pay,
and leave the mummy to his en-
balmed and swaddled dust and stu
pidity, and bye and bye you will
see the result of your courage and
talk, in universal Improvement, In
creased facilities and business, and
a broad, liberal, generous public
spirit that pervades and WHITES anc
makes pleasant and beautiful, every

DIR. Lanahan and the Book
Concern.

We like determined and stubborn |
people, especially when they are
fixed in their purpose not to allow
themselves to be crushed or silenced
in the advocacy of truth and right.
Rev. DIR. Lanahan has exhibited
more pluck than any man in the
United States except General Grant,
and we hail with qualification his
triumph over those who have for
two years past endeavOred to silence
and disgrace him. The report of
the committee of Investigation into
the Methodist Book Concern frauds
has fully sustained the charges of
DIR. Lanahan. The trouble in the
Book Concern, in the opinion of the
committee, was mainly in the bind
cry, and the system of bookkeeping
for several years, from 1861 to 1864,
was denounced as "wholly lnexcus-
able" DIR. Hoffman, the former
Superintendent of the Manufactur-
ing Department, was pronounced
guilty of carrying on system of
fraud by which the Concern sustain
ed great losses, the amount of
which it is impossible to indicate
with accuracy. The purchase of
paper through J. F. Porter is view
ed as a decided business improprie-
ty." The committee, however,
found that the losses sustained by
frauds and irregularities are not of
such magnitude as to endanger the
financial strength of the Book Con-
cern, nor materially to impair its
capital. An attempt was made to
vote the report through and hush
the matter up. DR.. Lanahan, how
ever, amid great excitement, made
a motion to have the report print
ed, which was finally carried, and
DR.. Lanahan's triumph was COM
plete.-[ Baltimore American.

Whole No. 1882.
Mr.. Summers Monster.
fFrOm Beecher's Christian UniOn.l

For more than three years a mon
ster has been sitting in the Presiden-
tial chair at Washington! There
are no lights to his character. It is
all black as night, night without
star! Since the old Roman monster
heroes, it will be difficult to find
creature made up so entirely offaults
so utterly devoid of excellencies.
This is Gen. Grant, as Mr.. Sumner
has painted him! Paragraph after
paragraph, column after column,
page after page, the rehearsal of evil,
goes on, without an alleviation,
without s'- gle light to the huge
mount n darkness, until we in
voluntarily cry out, "Why does
Providence permit such miscreant
to Iive?"
Soberly, Mr.. Sumner has proved
neither a wise rhetorician nor a
skillful special pleader. He has
overcharged his picture. Men will
not believe that the sober man of the
White House is an incernate fend.
That this oration will produce a GER
tain effect upon natures already sur
charged with violent feeling; that as
campaign document it will have
considerable weight, is probable.
But we think it has so overstepped
the bounds Of moderation that the
fair-minded and the just will recoil
from it. Its influence will be tenn
porary. By and by Mr.. Summers
friends will look back upon this
speech with regret, as lacking in
generosity, in justice, in truth, in
moderation. No man who hates i;
fit to judge another. Sumner has
raised a monument of his hatred t.
Grant.
