surely enough sought refuge In this
part Of Iowa. Last week we noticed
the probable arrest of the old man at
Ely; and now dispatches announce
that q young man. supposed to be
young Bender, was arrested at West
Liberty, on Saturday last.
A woman, thought to be Mrs. Bender,
was also arrested at Oxford. There
seems to be little doubt ~ to their
identity. Both parties are held for

AN eminen: scientific man explains
why Prof. Anderson's Dermador acts
SO much more promptly than other
applications in curing sore parts. as
follows: The usual applications, such
as plasters and poultices, confine the
heat, SO it escapes with difficulty, and
the cure must be slow.
The Dermador acts in direct opposi-
ton to all such appiications-it keeps
the skin moist, and instead of confin-
ing 1t conducts the heat of, and re-
duces the Inflammation Immediately.

1AoAAAA0tAO0 " 0CA- NO 00Os
Day"-PrQmotions and Who
Earned Them.
Last week was the closing one for
the current year of our Public Schools.
A rigid examination of pupils in the
studies Of the entire year, according to
programme published two weeks
since, occupied the week. Being
present at some Of the examinations,
we can but compliment both teachers
and pupils on the general thorough
ness evinced by the latter. The year
ly examination being the basis of
promotion from one department to
another, Ia thoroughly graded school
like this one very great interest to
the pupil centers around it. Scholarly
ambition is . good thing in . school
beyond doubt but were we to criticise
In this matter at all, we should say
that possibly the desire for promotion
may have been too much nOurished
and cultivated. There is such thing
q over working young heads; aud the
way some of those boys and girls of
from ten to fourteen, unravelled intri>
cate problems and flourished huge frac-
lions in their examination In Intellect
ual Arithmetic seemed alpost like hot
house development. rn
The dearth OF parents in attendance
at examination was . source Of much
modification, II we mistake not, to
both scholars and teachers. Every
effort had been made to get them out,
and we imagine that those who were
there felt well repaid for coming.
Friday aftsrnooo, the occasion Of
the closing exercises, however,
brought out quite large number.

From the Scientific Americana
The knowledge of the Truth.

The ancients had no knowledge of the
science which at present form the do
main of the most important and inhuen-
tial of all human pursuits, namely, the
investigation of Nature, the explanation
of its phenomena, and-the application of
the wisdom thus obtained for education
al training and practical useful purposes.
Their philosophical systems were only
imaginary cosmologies, based on few
hypothetical principles. The great phi
losophers, often SO boastfully referred to
by those whose knowledge is exclusively
confined to the pathological branches:
Thales, Pythagoras, Democritus, etc;
produced only speculations concerning
Nature; and, Notwithstanding that they
sometimes hit the truth, their ideas were
largely mixed up with metaphysical
notions, and they only occasionally
brought forward conclusions, and these
were based on i'll observed natural phe-
nomena. Even Aristotle, without doubt
the first physicist and philosopher OF an
tiquity, is himself the best proof that the
ancients did not know anything worth
mentioning about the physical sciences.
As q specimen of the ideas of the most
advanced minds of Roman antiquity, we
will give here a literal translation of
passage from T. Lucretius Carus, very
esteemed Latin author who hourished
his celebrated work, De Rcrum Nat,va
Con the Nature of Things), thus speaks
THE elements, out of which our earth
is composed, have, after the first chaotic
confusion, flown together, and, by reason
of their own weight, occupied the lowest
space; the more those heavier matters
were condensed, the more they squeezed
out the thinner lighter ones, which then
composed the sea, the stars, the sun and

cause all these objects are composed out
of much smoother, rounder, and smaller
seeds than the earth for this reason the
heavenly vault has first gone up, carrying
with it many luminous little flames burst
through crevices out of the- component
elements of the earth, nearly in the same
manner as happens when, in the early
morning, we see the golden sunbeams
radiating on the leaves covered with fresh
dew which has been evaporated from riv
ers and swamps as fog and vapor; we see
then sometimes even smoke ascending
from the earth" etc. A little further on
we read as follows after the heaven
had obtained its shape, the elements of
sun and moon succeeded, which neither
heaven nor earth could appropriate, as
they were not heavy enough to take the
lowest place, nor light enough to occupy
the highest, and to assist in the forma-
tion of the highest regions. The sun and
moon are thus placed between heaven
and earth moving themselves as if they
were living bodies, constituting the prin-

ST Can Not Quit It."

1t is said of men that they can not quit
drinking; they can not stop if they try;
they have tried and found it impossible.
There is both truth and falsehood in this
statement. They can quit, and they can
not quit. Men are influenced by motives,
and when a strong motive is brought to
bear, through one or more faculties, other
faculties yield submission, and are held
at bay for months and years, or for life.
If these strong motives are removed, the
disobedient, eager faculties rush in for
their qualification. There are many peo-
pie accustomed to the use of alcoholic
liquors of whom it is believed and said
that they try hard, promise reform, re-
pent, weep and pray, yet about so often
the yearning for liquor is SO strong that
they can not possibly resist it, and they
would go through fire or water to get it.
We know some such cases-men of re-
spectabilty, influence, and wealth, who
think they must have it. They can re-
frain from using it a week or month;
but the periodical fever comes on and
they yield, jeopardizing their business,
horrifying their friends, wasting their
property, and disgracing themselves
anew. When the paroxysm is over, and
the spree ended, they are sorry, ashamed,
repentant, sad and unhappy, and
for the time being they think
that they will never touch it again. But
should man of this stamp lose his wife,
whose life he had embittered by his in
temperance, in process of time he may
begin to think OF marrying again, and
then he will clean himself, and become so

himself like thoroughly reformed man.
In one short month after his marriage
his second wife awakes to the horrid fact
that her husband is drunkard. For
ten years he pursues his old habits. and
the broken hearted woman, like her pre-
decessor, finds rest in the grave. In
process of time the same noble reforma-
alton may be gone through with, with
all apparant sincerity and radical thor
