TnE grumblcrs have been driven
from their proposed attack upon the
principal aud teachers Of our public
schools. They could not stand against
public opinion which has pronounced
them good and faithful trainers of the
shooting young idea. \ citizen, writ
ing to us n private note, says: "For
more than twenty years Mr.. Alvord
has presided over the best schools in
Northern Illinois, and in no instance
has he ever left a position because the
board or citizens were in any way un-
favorable to his management. That the
schools Of Cairo have not attained that
excellence to which lie aspires is very
true aud will here mention one Of

CoTToN SEED AND CoTToN PLAN
T1NG.-In cotton culture it is the
worst of bad management to plant
inferior seed because it.would cost
something to buy the best; but, as
we have repeatedly urged every
planter should by continual selec-
tion and high cultivation, make his
own seed, and take pride in having
the best. Begin with the Dickson
seed, or any better sort, if there be
any better; and improve upon that
uutil you have something as much
better than the Dickson as the Dick
son is better than the common.
We are accustomed to boast of the
perfection to which cotton culture
has been brought IN this country,
and with some reasons, but there
is still room for improvement
something to learn by those not too
wise in their own conceit to accept
new truths. Only general rules for
the culture of any crop can be
given, when they are to be applied
to various conditions of soil, eli
mate and season. Experience must
detemnine the exceptions and good
:judgmeft guide the planter at eve
ry step.-Rmal CaroL1aian.

A KISS AT THE DOOR.

We were standing in the doorway
MY little wife and l.
The golden sun upon her hair
Fell down so silently;
Asmall white hand upon my arm,
What could l ask for more,
Than the kindly glance of loving eyes
As she kissed me at the door.
T know she loEes with all her heart
The one who stands beside,
And the days have been so joyous
Since first called her BRIDE
We've had 50 much of happiness
Since we met in years before,
But the happiest time of all was
When she kissed me at the door.
At times it seems that all the world,
With all its wealth of gold,
Is very sRlall and poor indeed,
Compared with what.I hold!
And when the clouds hang grim ant
dark,
T only think the more
OF "enen who waits the coming step
TO kiss me at the door.
IF she lives till age shall scatter
The frost upon her head,
I know she'll love me just the same
As the morning we were wed;
But if the angels call her,
And she goes to heaven before,
I shall know her when [ meet her.
For she'll kiss me at the door.

their diplomas as medical doctors
at the commencement of the Med

very nice and very appropriate.

Swan Hunting.

Forest and Stream says that the
swans, early in September, leave
1.-THE shores Of the Polar sea and re-
lsort to lakes and rivers in and about
|Hudson's bay, where they remain
until October. Then they collect
in Aooks of fifteen or twenty, and
mounting high in air, in a wedge
shape, depart with load screams
for a more genial southern climate.
They fly with great rapidity, at the
estimated rate of one hundred miles
per hour, which is about double
that of the goose. They do not,
like the geese, follow the line Of
the sea-coast, but fly far inland,
reaching their feeding-grounds at
night; and the first signal of their
arriva! is given the next morning
by universal clamor. They seem
to be greeting each other with their
musical notes after their completed
journey. When settled on their
feedipg-grounds, they do not for
sake them unless driven away by
very severe weather
