SIX WEEKS JAUNT.
To Europe and Back for $3.50. q

The Washington Capital is publishing
series Of articles entitled 4 "Trip to Ire
land and Scotland Hints for Passing a
Summer Pleasantly and with Economy"
in which the writer shows how trip may
be made to Ireland and Scotland, and back
in six weeks, for $3.50. Itsays:
At the office of the Anchor Line, New
York, you may obtain first class ticket,
with return, to and from Glasgow, and
liberty to land at Londonderry, Ireland,
where you will arrive in ten or eleven
days. From that place to POrtrush, the
nearest town to the "Giant's Causeway,p
the time is two hours by rail along coast
road most charmingly romantic. Remain
in that neighborhood two days, visiting
what you will find; then take the steam
er, which in few hours will bring you to
Glasgow. You can see Glasgow in day
On the next morning take the fast little
steamer "Iona," pass down the river
through the "Kyles ofButes, with Roth
say on our left, up Loch Lyme to- Ar
draishaig.
Return to Glasgow on the evening of the
second day, and the five days you have
passed will live in your memory forever.
On the morrow take the train for Edin-
burgh Ella Loeb Katrine and the Trossachs.
Edinburgh is the Queen City of the world.
Take a week for Edinburgh and its vicin-
fly, and be sorry that you can spare no
more time. Then return to Glasgow by
direct route in an hour, and take a weekly
steamer for New York, where you will
arrive in eleven days. ~ g mEesna
Let us now first calculate the time. You
have passed, say, twenty-two,days upon the
oceRn-well-spent sanitary days-three
days in Ireland; seventeen days in Scot
land six weeks in all Your EXPENSES al
lowing you every comfort but no extrava-
gance, amount, for your sea-voyage, to
one hundred and twenty dollars currency,
and for the time you are on shore six dol
lars per day; that is, for twenty days, one
hundred and twenty dollars; in all two
hundred and fifty dollars for six weeks of
rational, healthful, and intellectual enjoy
ment. Mr.. julius Ochs is the Agent at
this city for the "Anchor Line.p b4 -

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The Cas,se of Public Schools ira Knox
County and in KneXyillc-What Does
n mil

The Cause of Public Schools En Knox
| County and in Knexyillc-What Does
1t Require: -
Il answer 1.-The entire time of a compe-
tent, experienced and live school man as
superintendent Such an one could serve
both city and county. The work that ought
to be done, in addition to that required by
the State law, is of q very miscellaneous
character. He should meet with the School
Directors of each civil district, learn their
views and stimulate them in their efforts
for the advancement of the schools in their
respective districts address the people at
different points throughout county !;
visit each school in the county twice dur
ing its session; present in cheap pamphlet
form at the close of the school year re-
port of each school, commencing teachers of
superior tact and ability; hold number
of teachers, institutes or meetings for the
instruction of teachers in he best methods
of teaching the different branches, &C.,
&C., giving from time to time, through the
newspapers an account of his labor5, with
an official report of the same at the close
of the year in connection with his report
of the schools. The case needs just this
stimulus and agency at this time. The
city and county would find the eXpendi-..
ture of the money necessary to obtain such
service wise and profitable. 1t wasby just
such services in conjunction with some
other instrumentalities that the public
schools and cause of popular education in
many of the Eastern States, were speedily
brought, more than twenty years ago,
to such a position of excellence
and security, rs to require no
local supervision, the public senti-
ment and general interest in education
securing teachers of the very highest order
of qualifications, and hence, good schools.
With such aid and service as have spoken
of above, the,ycau would be advanced
more in a single year than in three or four
without it. There may be no legal way
by which such service can be obtained!
About this j do not now inquire, Ihntt
simply point out what it deeply concerns
the city and country to have done, if pos
sible. Let us strive for the first rank in |
the State in the excellence of our schools.
1t is worthy and enrolling ambition.
And nothing else would give us more
valuabls reputation abroad than such a po-
sition, or have greater influence to bring
among us desirable class OF, citizens.

Revival Meeting-ImprOvemen In TIT
M. L. Church-AKnoxvil willie sharper.
For three weeks very interesting meet
ing has been in progress here in the M. 3
Church. Services are had day and night
Large congregations, even in the midst Of
rain and storm. The pastors and members
of the Presbyterian and, Cumberland
Presby terrain churches were invited and
participated equally in the great work.
Behold, how good, and how pleasant it is
for brethren to dwell together in unity.
A great change seems to have been
wrought in town by these 1meetings-for
| the subject of onversation in stores and on
the streets has been the one great
that all the churches in town
are now in more healthy state than ever
before. Many who had almost ceased to
be religious have been aroused to their >
cessities and responsibilities. 1t might be
truthfully said that numbers of backsliders
have been reclaimed and then twenty
have made a profession of faith in Christ.
To God be all the glory. ,WE Fl
Here we must mention the fact that the
M. E. Church has been greatly improved
in the appearance of the audience room by

some very neat pulpit furniture from the
enterprising and reliable firm of Scott,
Simmonds & Co., of your city. We are sure
that all the Methodists and their friends
who have noticed, this addition to the
neatness of the church will remember and
recommend that establishment.
A Knoxville Sharper. made his appear
ance in our town last Friday. He is rather
good looking young man or boy of about
is years Of age, dressed in a business suit.
He is little below medium height, and
weighs about 125 or $50 lbs. He gave his
name here to some parties, as Charles II.
Davis, the son of widow in Bristol. His
sister was dead, was on the way home. Had
accidentally left his money in his vest
pocket, when getting ready in hurry.
Had been furnished the remains of 900
mile ticket by Judge Hall, with whom he
was living, &c., &c. To another, he told
that his mother was dead, &c. At the |
hotel, he said his father wouldsendmoney |
&c. TO another he gave his name as |
Charles McAffrey-that his father was in |
business in Knoxville, &c.
Your readers can see by these stOri es that |
the chap was an imposter, and yet that he |
could easily impose upon many a warm
hearted man. He got money from a few
persons to help him home Two persons
are known to have each given him $3.50,
the amount he asked for. We advise the
public to beware of this chap.

In infancy, the mother should make it a
part of the daily care of the child to secure
to perfect cleanliness of its teeth Becom-
ing thus accustomed to it, the child, when
old enough to use the brush, will find it
impossible to feel comfortable after a meal
untilafter the teeth have been cleaned as
carefully as the face and hands. Small, soft
tooth brushes, and pleasant dentrifices, are
now manufactured exactly suited for the
purpose these, if the habit Of use is early
formed, will soon become necessity to the
child's comfort; and the practice thus
commenced will be almost sure to be con-
tinued through life.

Letter from Jefferson County.

/ EDITORS CHRONICLE: Permit one OF
your humble patrons to put at rest the
minds of many of your readers in Jeffer-
son county. am opposed to frivolous or
malicious controversies, and wish to desist
from any further to do or say in this thing,
like childrens play, I do not wish to have the
last lick, but simply to let the people of
this county know that there is no contract
for barn on the county farm, and don't
know whether there will be during my
time in office. AS Alpha is little slow
about getting up the lumber, our second
rate army garden houses are in dilapidat-
ed condition, one of them having stood for
forty-five or fifty years, the other one about
twenty.
AS to letting the farm and paupers out
last fall, the keeper made the trade with
Hill, not me. All the proceedings were
presented to open Court and Endorsed,
though the proceedings displeased some to
such an extent that they threatened to Pc
ton on Jefferson county for new set of
county officers.
We thought that little heavy for the
Mayor of cambridge to threaten us as we
were all acting under oath and doing what
we thought best. We thought it might be
economy to change the Doctor that had
been doctoring for five or six years in the
second rate army garden house for another
Doctor We never thought of offending
Alpha or we might have acted differently.
We had always been as true to Alpha as
the needle to the Pole, and would still
hate to hurt his tender feeling, owing to
our past and present relations. Then it
would be great pity for two great men to
fall out. We might do great deal towards
keeping the government together. Boath
high officials, he is Mayor and am stiled
Chief of Paupers.
Excuse me, as this is designed to be the
Omega of this controversy, will say moth
ing about dogs nor dog suits.

Few villages in the state seem to be
more prosperous than Boscobel. After
an absence of four years we found more
improvement there than in any place we
have visited The principal business
street is a model of neatness and thrift.
Though scarce half the size of Mineral
Point, Boscobel outstrips us in many res
spects. She has two banks, three hotels
two of them superior to anything we
have-a stave factory, steam planning
mill, excellent grist mill, and minor
things Of which we cannot boast. The
present season several new buildings
are going up, the most important Of which
are McSpaders Elevator and Bobers
Hotel The latter, when finished, will
be second to no house in southwes tern
Wisconsin, and will have few eaua,s
Most Of our former acquaintances we
found prospecting with the town, aud
generally happy. The people of Bosco-
bel understand better than most people
the importance of good roads, and have
expended large sums in improving the
highways leading into their place. A
new bridge across the Wisconsin river is
to be built the present year.
