Georges catsphrRct Frustrated.

He is fallen! The prodigy which tow
cred among us like some ancient ruin, has
been incontinently flAttened out by bar
barous decision of the Circuit Court. Brother
Mixter is sick, aud wants somebody to send
for McGinniss The Court which generally
knows herself, aud she believes che does,
has just decreed that if Brother Mixter
sends his children to school, they must con-
form to existing regulations just the same
as the children of common trash, ard that
if they don't do il, they must take their
little books and states aud toddle home
again. All this is very severe on Brother
Mixter. Is it possible that the Titanic
mind that has aspired to run Rock Island
for so msuy years can be in the wrong for
q single minute? Is it possible that a
mere Circuit Court knows more than Mr..
Mixter does? Why is this thus? And
how are we TO make educational Roadway
in the fnture when the great organizing
brain of our body polite is hereby laid up
on shelf to yegetate? How can the
American Eagle stand it, as it stretches It's
broad wings from pole to pole, ard beholds
the Waterloo defeat of the great shoddy
aristocrAt? George, you have our sympathy
Pass the onions. Let us hunt Brother
Guyer. He knows how it is himself
