CEDAR VALLEY.

EDITOR NEws-Everyt thing here
moving along in clockwork order.
The prairies are now knee high
all over in luxuriant grass ''and still
rising"
Corn, wheat, rye, oats, potatoes.
and in fact NIL garden stuff could
not look better.
We had on the 18th ult. the high
est waters here ever known, and
though some few who had bnilt
their residences too near the streams
had to get up and get out, not one
PANEL of fence nor one quarter
acre of ground was materially dam
aged. Why, the banks of the
streams are generally above high
water mark. The same rise in
streams of the same size, in the
eastern states, would have torn bot
roms to pieces and ruined crops.
&c, no, haw, lie the order of the
day. and every farmer is making
good use OF his time IN breaking
and cultiVating.
The Farmers Club meets once a
month and is well attended. Snb-
ject for next saturday, 2lst inst,
at 2 D. m, in district Is, is, ''Fenc-
ing" The farmers of this town
ship, though the Club, are talking
of holding a town fair next fall,
and DIR. Mead, a member of the
Club, has, by a resolution, been re-
quested to prepare an address for
the occasion. A good time is ex-
pected. Many of your subscribers
here would like to see you about
that time. Come over and help us.

teacher" The truth is we cannot
have good schools without good
teachers. But our facilities fol
furnishing good teachers are SO
comparatively limited as not ma,
terially to effect the educational
wants of the State. France has
$50 Normal schools, supported by
an annual expenditure of 100000.
What would our legislature think
If such a sum should be asked for
our schools. We boast of our ed
ucational advantages as being the
basis of our free government, but
the truth is that in many respects
we are far behind other countries.
Germany, for example, has enjoy
ed the advantages of Normal
schools for 200 years; and so
thorough have they become in
their drill that Il graduate of one
of our lirst-class colleges could
scarcely enter one of them. Hence
they have better teachers and
greater proficiency. As q nation
Germany stands at the head of
the world in her educational pro
ficiency.
Tbs average pay per month
which our teachers receiv is only
about $40. This is about half the
average wages of a type-setter.
In consequence of this very few
enter teaching as profession.
When man fails in all other
things, he often turns his mind to
teaching as last resort. If he
wants little money and cannot
well obtain it otherwise he teach
es. This should not be allowed
any more than possible. On the
contrary we should recognize
teaching as one of the professions
and no one should he allowed to
teach unless duly qualified. In
fact when we remember the import
ance of good education, we
should exalt teaching and seek
proficiency. In order that our i'm
mediate demands may to some ex-
tent be met there should be a nor
NAL school held in every county at
least one month each year. All |
the teachers should have the priv |
ilege of attending this. The num- |
Der of teachers sent out from this |
institution can only occupy few
of the more important positions. |
We are now in the primitive pc
Rod. We are founding institu-
tons that are to have an import |
ant influence upon our State.
May the one we dedicate to day
take Il noble position in the most
noble work OF training teachers.
We shall always need higher Nor
nal school over the many others
which we hope to see all over our
State. May this one of Emporia
occupy that position, acting as a
noble stimulous to the students
who come here to imbibe the true
of thorough education
al discipline.

you will reverb with increasing in

upon the threshold of active life,
! you anticipate with ardor the con-
tests that are before you; but as the
anniversaries OF this day recur, you
will be fortunate indeed if time has
given an equivalent for the pleasures
of that era you are now leaving

all be realized wealth may reward

You are expected to make the world
your debtor for Il life of good deeds,
and to take an appeal from that
material sensuousness which con-
verts this universe into a place of
dull, vacant mechanism for the feed
ing and clothing of man.
1t is your Office, in the relations

to exhibit the results of a wise dis.
tribution of effort; to place the |
opportunity of culture within the |
reach of all.
And above all, at whatever cost,
and against whatever force, the |
State demands that you shall assert |

axioms Of human liberty; re-
that it is as true now,
and will he as true till times end, |
as in the days of Lord Bacon, that

WAGES AND DIET OF EUROPEAN
FARM hABORERS.

The following shows the wages
and food received by the farm la
borers OF Europe. The amount
of wages is changed to our cur
rency when gold is quoted at II
per cent premium
In England, wages for men, are
sc cents day. Diet-white bread,
bacon, potatoes and vegetables,
cheese, tea, coffee, and beer or
cider.
In France, 40 cents a day. A
farm laborer hires for y year for
SOC on an average, his board in
cluded, which costs rs much more.
Diet-soup made of lard or beef
suet, vegetables and bread por-
ridge.
In Prussia. 20 cents q day, with
honse rent free, potato land and
medical attendance. Diet-brcad,
cheese, soup, vegetables, coffee and
heets. Meat only on holidays.
In Russia, "a cents per day on
an average. Diet-cabbage or
mushroom soup, baked buckwheat
eaten with milk, oil or butter, and
rye bread.
In Austria, q cents day on an
average.
In Silesia, men receive $2l.6S a
year board and lodging included.
Diet-coffee, brown bread, butter,
lard, vegetables, fresh and salted
pork.
| In Italy, "a cents per day. Diet
little meat, but principally mac
aroni, bread, fruit, vegetables and
wine.
In Spain, % cents per day. Diet
bread, vegetables, cold soup of
slices of cucumbers and bread
stepped in vinegar and water.
In Turkey, 40 cents per day. Diet
brown bread of mixed grain,
STAYED beans, leeks and little
mutton.
In Scotland, about the same as
England. Diet-oat meal por-
ridge, bread, potatoes, milk and
butter, tea and coffee, and little
bacon.
One great disadvantage in the
way of the European lahorers is
: tho number OF holidays and vii
lage fetes which they take, IN
Russia the holidays number from
so to 100; in Austria, 76; in Tur
key, 40. There are also great
number of fete days in Spain, tia
ly, and in the Catholic parts o
Germany. The price of labor mus
/ not therefore be calculated by tht
year, at so much per day. as mort
! than one-third of the AGA days are
! holidays.
In this exhibit of the prices pc
day, board is not included. il
would seem from this statement
+ that the American farmer is far ii
advance of the European. He re
! ceiyes more than four times a.
, much per day for his work, AM
has an excellent diet. He ha

AN EGYPTIAN RAILwAY.-A stu

commenced in Egypt, which will

English engineer, has just completed

railway from the second cataract of
the Nile to Shendy, in the heart Of
the Soudan country, $50 kilometres

years. The enterprise is to cost
