Ave, you mean the Rev. AntOlnette u.
Brown, once . pastor of Brooklyn
church, or rather theatre or museum
like Beecher's. She gotswoman' rights;
she got husband and she got all the rights |
she expected. But she forsook the pulpit |
and deserted the flock. The good shep- |
herd, made m ention Of IN the Holy Gospel, |
dies for his flock but this titular shep-
herdess would die for Mr.. Black and the
papoose, and left the Aock to shift for
themselves, as the fox did with the silly
goat at the bottom Of the we'll.
These heroines in this great age of pro-
gress and reform, whilst the wcrld goes
round and round, seem to This nondescript
of Elk river, to BE more than mortal;
they are to him escaped goddesses from
Calypso's Island; wandering without
mentor, and seem to this infatuated man
to be all divine.
And 10! when in his migration. in the
shade of his benighted Imagination, he
came as far as Solomon, he croaked as q

not know whether her eyes were blue or

That portion Of the lifetime of Solomon.
from the time of his fall, when he took te
himself three hundred wives and seven

Ma. ED1roR: You have hit the nail
square on the head in the above plan. In
the State Of New York, such . plan, or .
similar one, has long been in practice.
A so called teachers class is taught every
wear in most Of the academies OF that
State, part Of the expenses Of which are
paid out Of public money annually dis
tributed to the several academies and
high schools. This system in New York
has accomplished precisely what you
desire to accomplish in Minnesota, VIZ:
1t has brought special training for
teachers within the reach Of the many
who cannot afford to 60 to Albany and
paw for board while attending the Normal
school. Some Of the best teachers in
that State are graduates Of these High
ischool academies thus fostered BY little
State aid judiciously distributed. It is
about time that the policy IN this State
Of spending public money for
the purpose chiefly Of helping some f.
vorite locality, was abandoned. W.
have made terrible mistakes 50 far, but
this is no reason why we should not re.
tract our steps.
Look at the number Of Normal school
xraduates now teaching in this State, and
compare their number with the enoemou,
sums it has cost to build and run oul
Normal schools SO far! Nine-tenths O
the common school teachers Of each coun

ROSE CREEK, Mower Co., Mimi, q
May, 9Th. 1875. !
Editor Anti Monopolist
think there should be one l.rge news
paper published weekly in tits State, de-
voted mostly to the interests Of the
oranges, and agriculture and it should be
vel. supported by the oranges, SO the
publishers could afford to devote all their
efforts to the oranges, and agriculture.
The paper should be double the size of
the ANr1-MosoPoL1sr filled with agricul-
tural information cleaned from all parts
Of the world. OF course it would be ex-
pensive to the publishers; but it would
be the means Of sowing agricultural edu-
cation broadcast al over the country.
And think such paper should lind Its
way into every farmers house.
And it seems to me that each grange
| IN this State might and would subscribe
| for a copy for each member, to be paid for
by the grange.
The people are strangers to one anotA.
er, and there shonld be some method
adopted to being us, as farmers, nearer
together; and this can only be done by
frequent correspondence through the
press. And if there was an agricultural
grange paper, supported by the oranges,
we would feel free, at least once month
to communicate through it with on
another.
We could give all the particulars q GU
immediate vicinity, the condition Of om
crops, and the effect of the seasons; ant
!; in this way we should know al abou
what is going on in our own State. The
we would be better able to make calcula
lions for future events.
I. as farmer and granger, am in favo
!, Of supporting large paper. devoted
the interest Of the oranges and agricu
ture. and it seems to me money investe
: by the oranges in this direction would d
! more good than any other. Yours.

"Jack Harkaway; or, Afoat and Ashore"
dramatization of the thrilling story that has
lately passed through the columns of Frank
Leshe's Boys and Girls Weekly, bas proved
a most effective and profitable production at
Woods Museum during the past week, at
tracing large audiences on the occasion of
each representation. The piece is replete
with tableaux and situations, and has been re-
ceiyed with much applause. The shipwreck
scene in particular is deserving of mention
for the excellence of its realism and the adj
mirable manner in which it is worked up.
