THE CAUCUSES.

The town caucuses to elect delegates to
the district convention, August 9Th, should
be attended by every republican voter in the
district Don't stay at home from the eau.
Gus, and then go to the election in the fall
and vote for the candidate who has been
nominated by few shrewd politicians, but
attend the caucus and send delegates to the
convention whose interests and sympathies
are in common with yours.
Farmers, temperance men, lovers Of purity
and honor, friends Of reform, your enemies
understand the situation, and are ready to
take advantage of it. Their wire-pullers
and supporters in every town have heen
"seen," and assured that it is for their inter.
est to come out to the caucuses. The forces
of corruption and bribery are organized, aud
every plan il we'll and carefully laid. Are
the farmers and working people Of this dis
trict to be led by the nose, or are they suf-
ficiently awakened to come out and make
their votes and their influence felt at these
primary meetingsH We are Of the opinion
that there will be such sprinkliDg Of farm
ers out the 9Th of August as shall cause the
'ruling classes who have SO long had their
own way to open their eyes with astonish.
ment. In a contest like this when the issue
is between corruption and the honest per-
co.,..onoa of 1ka d,,k;au af ofHoa Il 30 NOT
simply the privilege of the people to attend
the caucuses as we'll as the election, but il is
a duty duty which you owe to yourselves,
your country, and the children growing up
about you. Perform that duty in such a
way as shall bring about purer public ser.
vice, wiser and more honest laws, and couse-
quently increased prosperity.
If every republican voter in the district,
whether he favor Poland, Mead, or some
other man, will come out to the caucuses and
record his vote on the side he considers
right, VIC shall have what il has often been
falsely claimed We have had, true express
sion of the will of tho people. Let US see a
full vote next week Saturday.
The fact that the caucuses are called at a
uniform time throughout the district, places
it in the power of the people to assert their
rights. In tho past, caucuses have beer
called in such manner that only few lead
ing spirits knew anything about them unit
they were past. Others were called and the
majority Of those who attended being few
minutes late arrived just in time to learr
that half dozen men had met, organized q
meeting, elected themselves delegates. ant
adjourned themeeting, all within five minutes
Let the peOple,-the farmers, the working
men, the tax.payers,-dO their duty thi
time, keeping sharp lookout for these lit
tie tricks, and right will triumph. 9Th,
voice of the people is the voice Of God" an'
when the people are in earnest let corruption

Bro. Camp, of the Newport Express, is

distressed with what he is pleased to term
our "attempt to regulate merchants prices, I"

Judge Poland was heard to say, when on
his way home from Washington immediate
ly after he had pOckcted his "salary grab"
by man who occupied the next seat in
the rear Of him in the cars,-"I have got
my money in my pocket, aud intend to keep
it there" Why did he change his mind
while at home, SO that he returned it at tho

repealed2 How about the interest He

pays that back, too.

Col. H. d. Hopkins, of Montpelier, writes
10 the Boston Journal in the interest of
Judge Poland that "Of ten or more republi.
can papers in his district all but two are
heartily advocating his denomination" We
do not deny that this has as much truth in
II as there is in most Of the claims made by
the Poland party, but Col. Hopkins ought
to know better than TO be led into assuming
the responsibility Of SO broad falsehOod.
What is the fact in the case2 There are
nine republican papers in the district, aud
Of these only three are "heartily advocating
his denomination" three as heartily oppose
him, two coOlly pass the subject by simply
stating that they favor Poland, and the ninth,
we understand, is neutral. There is a little
narrative in the fifth chapter Of Acts which
we commend to the colouel's perusal.

or all our native artists on the dramatic stage
none merit more generous commendation than
the talented lady whose presentations Of Jane
Eyre and Gabrielle have gratiaed large audiences
this week at the National. A delicate lOVeliness
OF person, q smooth and sympathetic voice, q
manner unexeeptionRble, and above all, brain
the less requiring care because they are not alto
gether uncommon, and In their representation
demanding peculiar fResse, are the endowments
which have placed Miss Thompson, by the iudg-
ment Of many critics, at the head Of the emo

knowledge the excellence beyond competition Of

triumph was complete, and the audience len I'M

held last night at Territorial hall; Joseph VIII
Iiams in the chair, and Henry Himber, secretary.
The board Of directors reported progress In the

ton Of Mr.. Finley, q special committee Of three

day as possible.
Mr.. Holmead was proposed and elected men,
Der Of the association.
Mr. Finley stated that money could be borrowed

made for the bonds, and on motion the whole mat
ter was referred 10 the finance committee.
Action on the proposition to soil half million
Of bonds at T21S cents, to prominent banking firm
Of Boston, was further postponed.
M. Lucas stated that the One-sided arrange
ments would be very injurious, as many holders

WIEN TO STUDY AND now TO
GTUDV

The lecture hall of Presidents College, on Gap
itol Hill, was we'll filled by an audience to hear
Prof Silas L. LOOMS answer to the above ques-
tions. His address was listened to with marked
attention and its course reasoning carried con-
Yiction with It. 1t should be given entire, but
want of space forbids; therefore his conclusions
only, are given. In answer to the question when
to study he said that a child should be given
generous nutritious diet, with q daily supply Of
lean beef or other lean meats. SWeetmeats,
cakes, and especially sugar, should be used spar
ingly. Tea and coffee should seldom, If ever, be
used by the young. Students should never study
unless they can do their duty at the table. A
child should never enter the schOOl-room for the
purpose ofstudy before eight years OF age. From
eight TO twelve studies involving close reason
ing should be allowed. The hands, feet, eyes,
ears and body generally should receive careful
instruction. From twelve to fourteen health
should be the first object. All else subserVient.
Health at all times should be prime object, but
at this period more than ordinary attention is
demanded. At fifteen education should CON-
mence in earnest.
In answer to the question, how to study, the
Professor was Justly quite severe on textbooks.
he stated that in many Of the reports Of boards
Of trustees Of public schools there were over
could enter the High school" We are Of the
opinion that the school board Of this city Is not
exception. The text book question, rs managed
by wealthy book traders, has become an enormous
evil not so much on account Of the useless expen-
diture of money the positive injury done to the
pupil. He divided textbooks into two classes
those to be used BY the pupil before the age Of
fifteen, which should be few In number, concise,
and mainly TO be committed 10 memory; and sec
ond, those to be used after fifteen, mainly for ref
erence. In regard to the student himself, he gave
but one direction, and that was accuracy. First,
physical accuracy that is, accuracy In movement
OF the hand, eye and every organ. This should
be inculcated from infancy. Secondly, mental
accuracy. This cannot be insisted upon too stren-
uously. One question completely solved and IN
derstoOd is worth pages nine tenths learned.
II is understood that this lecture is to be fol-
lowed by others from the different professors on
subsequent Wednesday evenings. We suggest q
later hour O'Clock is too early.
