The writer had the pleasure of spend

it must accomplish, lie was not prepared

The trustees have b,el most fortunate
in their choice Of Superintendent and
Matrom, Tor the Doctor aud Mrs. Mich.
OILS seem perfectly adapted TO the work
lntrusted to them, having spent their
lives in the business OF teaching, and
possessing strong practical common
sense, unconpromsng Christian princi-
pie, aud au industry That knows no flag.
ging. They have a corps OF excellent
Christian women tor teachers, who are
lndrtatigable in their efforts.
HOW DIVIDED.
AT the time OF my visit there were 1873
pupils in the school, twelve mad been re-
moved, SD that the whole number con
nected with it from its beginning was
$50. They are divided Into sections of
twenty-five girls, and each section has its
own teacher. TwJ of these sections
compose family, and each family has
its own dining room, sitting room aud
sleeping room.
The Superintendent is having another
porli III of the old wooden buildings ON
the place altered and fitted up for the
accommodation OF an additional family
Of filty. When This is filled, as it will
be in few months, there will be 200
pupils i'll the institution, and that must
be the limit, until the State shall provide
more literally for this youngest, but
tairest OF her children.
SPECIAL NEEDS.
The great and pressing need is more
and better accommodations. the old,
slightly built wooden buildings, which
answered very well tor summer use and
for Il watering place, are not at all adapt
ed TO the present use. So many OF them
as can be made available, have been
altered, and as already stated, the result
is the accommodation for only 900. Yet

Tired Mothers.
BY MRS. ALBERT SMITH.


A little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee, that has so much to bear;
A chids dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath a thalch OF tangled hair,
Perhaps you do not heed tue velvet touch
Of warm, moist fingers, folding yours so
light -
You d. not prize this blessing ovcr-much,
But it is blcssedness A year ago
did not see il rs | do today
We are So dull and thunkless and too slow
To catch the sunshine ill it slips away.
And now ii seems surprising strange To me.
That, while wore the badge of motherhood,
| did not kiss more Oft and tend,riy,
The little child that bIOughl me only good.
And. ifsoma night when you sit down to rest,
You miss the elbow from your tired knee
This restless, curling head from off ycur breast,
TINS lisping tongue that chattcrs constantly
If from your own The dimpled hands has Slip
ped,
And neer would nestle In your palm again
II The white feet into their grave had tripped,
could not blame you for your heartache
then.
l wonder so that mothers ever fret
AT Little children clnging 10 their gown,
Or that the iool-prinls when the days are wet,
Are ever black enough 10 make them frown.
If l could find II little muddy boot,
Or cap, or jacket, ON my chamber floor;
Ii could kiss IA rosy, restless foot,
And hear lis pallcr in my home once more
If / could mend broken cart to-day.
Tomorrow make kite, 10 reach the sky
There is no woman in Gods world could say
She was more blisslullY content than |.
But ah the dainty pillow next mine own
l. never rumpled by shining head
My singing birdling from lis nest is flown,
The little boy used 10 kiss is dead

honorable position, in the category
of sold mnids.' Without Il partner TO
share her joys and SORROWS, she lived
apparently very rontcntrhIy, working
industriously and laying upa portion
of her hard-carnru money for u rainy
day. In the mean tim" she grew thin
and lean and played with her cat,
when, at the end Of twelve years, she
found herself in possession of upwards
of $1,000 in cash. Then ii was that her
charms, so long IInnoticcd, were r"c-
ogniZcd, and an ardent swain, in the pcr-
son a young man, appeared on the scene,
who pressed his suit with such f"rVOr
that the old maid, consented and the
marriage ceremony was performed, and
the couple started on It bridal tour to
FraScati Arlington. Everything went
ON swimmingly until arouta week after
the marriage, when suddenly the

Miss Nellie Grant.

The SAN Francisco Chronicle has re-

| written by Miss Nellie Grant to Queen
Victoria, previous to her recent visit to
Windsor Palace. Its charming SIM
plicity and thorough good sense, il it
be authentic, put beyond question all
doubt as to the nature of the visit and
the feeling which prompted il. 1t
reads as follows: I..,,.
LANGLEY's HorEI., May, 1872
-Hy Dear Lady and Queea-I am en-

American girl; that lam the Presidents
daughter gives me no claim to your
recognition as u sovereign. Ii, with
the kind lady who is acting as my
cho}'eTo", l might visit you, 1 should
be very glad. Our Secretary Of Lega-
tion hints at some political significance
in this opportunity. l can not SO inter-
pret it, and would not wish to be so
received, because IL would not be right,

and ann sure my father would not

this explanation, your Majesty will

L have written this note of my own
motion, and because 1 think il the right
thing to do. am Your Mnjesty's very
ohedient servant and ndmircr,

to the British Queen than lnultitutles
of other actions for which her subjects

4 Beastly Brute.

Iack Chandler, Senator from Michi-
gan, and chairman ofthc Congressional
Republican Committee, is It fnoddfc
and moral representative Of til" beau
ties of Radicalism. lie entered the
reception-rOom of the Senate one day
last week in Il beastly state of drunk
enness, and made an insulting proposal
to a lady, perfect stranger to him,
in Il manner so offensive that the viicst
OF the vile would blush at il. The laI>'
resented the insult, when hc seized her,
and poured on her head u torrent of
inN"ctiNe and I:illingsgatc. The lady
Is of high standing and character in the
community. Is it not high time that
the state of Michigan should send 1t
person to represent if in the Senate,
who is ut least the equal Of the brute
creation: excepting of course, those Of
the higher range, who arc far his 4upc-
riors.

Ku-Klux De,iltry..-yindictl7sc Raicalls lsm.

| In the United States District Court
at Montgomery, June 10Th, four prfs-
oners, indicted under the enforcement
act, were found guilty, and Judge Bus
tced sentenced them to the Albany, N.
", penitentiary, to wit: ,.,,
Neil Hawkins, j. u. Young (63
years oid,) r.. G. Young, each, to 10
years imprisonment and Il fine of
$4,000, and Ringgold Young to 7 years
imprisonment and $1,000 fine. Haw-
kins and j. ID. Young denied that
they ever belonged to the Ku-Klux
organization, and all protested their
innocence of the charges preferred.
They proved good characters as quiet,
law-abiding, respectable citizens, and
that the chief witnesses against them
had bad characters for truth and ver.,c-
ity, and were UNIV orthy of belief. But
guilt or innocence is matter of little
Importance to tho Radical partis,,ns
who seek to punish good citizens for
their opposition to Grant, and to fur
nish fuel to fire the hearts of the North
ern loyalists, and thereby secure
Grants reelection. The Montgomery
Advertiser publishes the foIIowing:
Col. Graham asked for time in which
to show that the indictment, under
which the prisoners, Young ct al,
We're convicted, was not presented by
n grand jury, and that the paper upon
which they were tried was not IL part
OF the record of the court, as there was
no mark of it ever having been filed,
and that the court had no right to alter
the indictment. -. a5''H' '''
The court overruled the objection.
and the prisoners were arraigned and
instructed to state why sentence should
not bc pronounced upon them.
AN AFFECTING; SCENE.
There was an affecting scence in the
United States Court when the defen-
dants in the case of the United States
VS.. Young ct nj. were called up for
sentence. The verdict had been rem
dered hardly fifteen minutes when the
court inquired if the defendants had
anything to say why sentence should
not be awarded against them. Tho
old man Young, in II calm and manly
manner, free from bragadoeio, protest
ed his innocence OF the charge, but as
he referred to his wife and four daugl,-
tcrs dependent on him, now 63 years
of age, his voice was broken, and there
was not i'll the courtroom Il manly
heart but what WAS wrung with sorrow
as the picture arose before them Of this
aged man in II far Off pcnitcntiary,
and his now widowed wife and -hclp-
less daughters, shclterless and friend
less, driven from their little home,
which tho $4,000 will cause to be sold,
as well as the little scanty pittance
which was all this old man was cna-
hlcd, after II life of toll, to save from
the wreck of tho war. .s ..,.....

The True Route OF the PnciIlc Road.

We have been shown letter from
Col. Geo. Ynrbrougf, of Tyler, SmftI,
county, Texas, to Col. ID. Il. Martin, of
this city, Col. Yarbrough's letter CON
firms our surmisc that tho Southern,
or original route ofthe Southern Pacific,
after approaching the Western boun-
dairy OF Texas is very greatly superior
to the Northern survey, besides being,
according to the statement of an able
engineer, equally rs cheap. The South
crn route is also near the 32nd parallel,
along which tho Congressional charter
requires the road to run. 1t was this
route too, that the Legislature ofTcxas,
when il first granted the 5000, 900 sub
sidy required it to follow. Col. Var
brough states the fact, mentioned by us
II fcW days ago, that the country through
which the projected route via Fort
Worth lies, beyond tho BraZos, is n
vast stretch of desert country wntcrlcss,
without timber or grass, hard us flint
in the dry, and SO niry in the wet
season that u horse Or COW cannot travel
over il.
We had supposed that this route had
some advantages in probable cheapncss
of construction, from the fact that the
Legislature was paid Il large sum of
money to authorize it's ADOPTION Col.

secret history of the very questionable
trades that were cOnsummatch between
the Legislature Of Texas and the South

that the controllers OF the road owned,
or were largely interested in the Peters
colony lands lying in I'alo Pinto and
adjoining counties, embracing an area
equal to Several counties, and that IL
was to make these lands valuable they
were 80 anxious To adopt the upper sur
vcy, which passes Immediately through
them. Ho"cv"f This may be, new
men with Nast nc:uts, new ideas and

The ticket for State officers nomin-
ated by the Democratic Convention
and headed by the name of John Nc
Emery, is admitted to be unexception-
able in personal point of view, but it
is excepted to because it is Il tsstraig}1t
out' Democratic ticket. Than the sun
no paper in the State has been a stronger
advocate of harmonizing all the ele-
ments in favor of rcscuing the State from
the hands of the corrupt set who have
robbed it and brought it to the verge
of Bankruptcy. We in strong terms
denounced the parties in the Conven-
ton who opposed u consultation with
the Liberal Republicans, and were in
favor of giving them a voice in the Sc
lection Of the ticket, though we did not
think that they ought to ask or had
any right to claim place on the ticket,
for they have a due share of it by addi-
ton to it Of the names of their Cincin-
natl candidates. The RefOrmcrS, we
held, were a natural part and kith and
kin Of the great Democratic party, and
though they had for some cause alien
ed~themsclves from it, yet ought to
have 4 part in the selection Of the ticket
and Il representation upon it according
to their numbers.
For six long days did the reprcscn-
tatives of the peopIe-thc representa-
tivcs of the uotcrs of the State, work to
effect the harmony SO greatly desired,
without success. And why did thcy
all? The answer is plain-thcy were
asked to yield more than they believed
their constituents would submit to.
They then nominated Il ticket, all of
which, except one name on it, was ap-

That ticket was nominated according
to Democratic usagc-no chicancry, no
