BsG" \ WRONG hIpREssIoS.-Some
persons seem to think they have to pay
tax for the support of the Normal
Schools This is mistake. If they
will examine their tax bills, they will
find that not a cent of taxes is levied
specially for the support Of the Normal
Schools. These Schools have not re-
ceived any money lately from the State,
and if they ever do get any, it will be
because they deserve it, and have fairly
earned it by the good they do to the
cause of education in the State. The
teachers in our Normal Schools, who
have taught the past year upon nominal
salaries, and are now living upon faith,
certainly deserve credit for the sacrifices
they are making to sustain the reputa-
ton of the State in carrying out her
Free School System

OSE THOUSAND MILE TIcKErs.-The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, says
the Pittsburg Erening Telegraph, IS
sued on the lst OF October new SIS
tenn of tickets which will be good for
one thousand miles Of travel, bnt must
be used within one hundred and thirty
five miles of the depot at which they
are purchased. These are numbered
from l to 1000, and there is coupon
for every mile. They will be furnished
for s25-thus affording a saving of five
dollars on the regular fare rates We
believe this arrangement will be an ex-
cellent one, as a ticket of this kind will
permit the holder to travel any distance
between three and one hundred and
thirty-fye miles, as long as the coupons
last.

A WOMAN WITH TWO HUsBANDs.-
\ correspondent in Hampshire county,
w. Va, (says the Wheeling Rtgisfer)
remarks that about the close of the late
war a woman in Hardy county married
a deserter from the Northern army.
They lived together three years, and
two children were born to them, when
he suddenly left and has not been since
heard of. The woman then took up her
residence near Romney, w. Va, where
she met with man who wanted a wife
and as she wanted home the two
agreed to marry. The slight impedi-
ment that she was already married was
looked upon as matter OF small i'm
portance, but she wanted some form OF
law complied with which would enable
to reap other advantages than home.
Accordingly, lawyer was consulted,
who drew up an agreement between the
two as their mutual duty and obliga-
tons, and who advised them to 60 to
Maryland and marry, promising that
rs reasonable fee should be paid him
he would procure the woman a divorce
from her deserving husband. The par
ties were subsequently married in Cum
berland, Md, and lived together several
years until the mans death, the lawyer
failing to procure the promised divorce
because of the failure of the promised
fee. Claiming that urder the mar
rage agreement she was entitled to
share of her brevet- husbands property
she decamped with as much OF the por-
tables as she could carry, she located
herself and the chattels in Frederick
county, Va, calls herself by her breyet-
husbands name, and claims her dover
in his real estate

One of the most pathetic reminders
of the recent Fall River disaster is the
habit OF woman whose three daughters
were killed, but who still insanely be-
lieves that they are alive. Every day,
when the factory bells are ringing for
dinner, the woman, who saw her three
daughters borne away to be buried that
Sunday, takes tin pail, as she used to
do, and starts for Granite Mill No. /.
Sometimes her neighbors divert her at
tention by telling her that it isn't bell
time, but, other days she walks to the
place where the mill once stood, sees
nothing that she can recognize, turns
back in dazed way, and goes to her
deserted home again.

IMITATION AND REPUDIATIoN-Since
the late democratic victories in Ohio
and Indiana there has been an effort or
the part of republican journals to repre-
sent them as triumph of imitation and
reputation. There is abundant reason,
however, to dscredit this view. The
New York Herald pointedly calls atten-
ton to the fact that Mr.. Kerr, who
made the most brilliant and successful
canvass of any candidate in Indiana, re-
iected and scoffed that part of the State
platform which favored financial here
sizes. So, too, in Ohio, the most brilliant
and remarkable democratic victory was
won in tho twentieth congressional dis
trict, where Paine, the democratic can
didate, was a pronounced anti!nfation-
ist and Observation-Disclosures. fiad these
been the popular issues in the West,
saws the Herald, Paine and Kerr should
have been defeated or have stood low
est on the list of successful candidates,
instead of leading the canvass in their
respective States.

feet deep, and clear as crystal, rolling,
not in foaming rapids, but quietly and
peaceably along its narrow valley be-

crossed the Georgia and Alabama line

ands of acres of government land not

which time he pays no tax, and after
which he receives bona fde title from
the Land Office. The land here, though
in some places lying broken, Is very
good. The gentleman with whom we
are stopping has some Of the best we

BE MAS-Foolish spending Says
somebody of good sense is the father
of poverty. DO not be ashamed OF
work, nor Of hard work. Work tor
the wages you can get, but work for
half price rather than be idle. BE your
master, and do not let society or fash
ion swallow up your individuality-hat,
coat and boots. Do not eat up and
wear out all that you earn. Compel
your selfish body to spare something for
profits saved. BE stingy to your own
appetite, but merciful to others necessi-
ties. Help others, and ask no help for
Yourself. See that you are proud. Let
your pride be of the right kind. BE
too proud to be lazy; too proud to give
up without conquering every difficulty;
too proud to wear coat that You can't
afford to buy;-too proud to be in
company you cannot keep up with in
expenses; too proud to lie, or steal, or
cheat; too proud to be stingy.
