Gen. Schenck's Work on POk-

Gen. Schenck, our Minister to En-
gland, Indignantly denies the story
that he has written aud published
work on the American game of pok-
er. 1t appears, however, that there
was very strong foundation for the
ugly report. The General, accord
ing to his explanation of the matter,
was visiting country house in En-
gland, and while there initiated the
inmates into the mysteries of the
fascinating game, the stakes being
pennies and sixpences. So capti-
waited were they with the sport, that
Gen. S., at the solicitation of the
lady of the house, wrote down some
of the rules of the game, that they
might study them at leisure. These
rules were subsequently put in type
and printed for private circulation
among the friends of the family.

The Louisville Courier-J ournal af-
firms that the number of lliterate
voters in Kentucky is rapidly on the
increase, and that this increase is in a
greater ratio than the increase of
population; this, too, in the face of
the fact that there are few persons of
foreign birth in the State, and but
few emigrants. There are about $500
districts in the State, and not more
than 100 are properly provided, even
now, with school houses. The Couri-
er-Journal very pertinently says:
''This fact carries with it the infer
ence that, as rule, no proper at
tention is given to popular education
in the State"

RecOIlPciiOns of By-gOne
Days in Old Highland.
GRUMPY Co., ILL.,, Feb. 16, 1875.

GRUNDY Co., ILL.,, Feb. 16, 1875.
How wildly the sight of the
Highland News brings to mind the
memory of by-gone days, and especi-
ally the happy days of childhood.
Amongst my earliest recollections
are the weekly visits of the News,
the first paper ever saw, and well
can I remember with what Joy we
hailed it's coming. Our mail never
failed. My father used to saddle
his horse Saturday morning, and
ride to Hillsbero to do his trading
and bring the precious paper. Even
our dog knew when the paper was
coming, so we children thought
Before my father would make any
preparations for starting the dog
would slip off, and would be found
waiting a mile or more from home.
And what a happy time we chill
dren had when the paper came !!
While father was doing up the chores
and mother was preparing supper,
my sisters and 1 would gather around
the now-despised, but then highly
priced, tallow dip, and what wonder
full things we found to read in that
paperl And what beautiful poetry
We thought it sublime. SAKE, Whit
tier and VIII Carleton's best produc-
tions seem tame as dross, compared
with the poetry OF the News 80 or 35
years ago. My sister and I com nit
ted a good portion of it to memory,
and we used to repeat it when gath
cred around the bright log fire of
the old Highland home.
Father would laugh when we rat
tied over the rhymes. Don't know
which he was laughing at-us or the
poetry; kind of suspect it was us,
but we did not dream of such thing
then.
The Carriers Address was glori-
GUS affair in our eyes. We could
hardly wait for weary old Time to
drag his slow length to bring it. We
got to understand that the printers
Devil" was the author oft. We had
no very definite idea concerning him
in those days. It did not matter, so
long as he continued to make such
nice poetry, whether he was a son of
old Satan or not.
The Wing songs of 1840-how
splendid they were! We sung them
at home and at school and every
where. Don't suppose our singing
was quite as good as Jenny Lind S
or Missions, though I think we enjoy
ed it full as well as those who go to
hear their sweet songs.
Although I have lived many years
in my Western home, and do not
know much about old Highland OF
its people now, still there is no pa
per more welcome to my fre-side
than the dear old friend of my youth
Parents, if you wish to be gratefully
remembered by your children, sap
ply them aoith good books and pa
pers. 1t will be like casting you
bread upon the waters" twill return
if not to you, to your children.

"If cats can eat 3 rats in minutes, how many
cats will it take to eat 100 rats in 100 minutes ~
Since our last issue have received the following
solutions to the above Problem:
Mr.. EDITOR:-I give you another solution of the
Cat Problem:
If cats eat 8 rats in 3 minutes, it would take
cat to eat rat in minutes and cats to eat rat
in minute. Now if 3 cats can eat rat in min
ute at the end of every minute send in another rat
until all have been sent in, and the cats would
have eaten the 100 rats in 100 minutes. Therefore
the answer is cats. j. b.

iIsboough Highland County, Thursday
Gen. Fitzpatrick as 81 Lecturer.
WASHINGTON, G. H. Feb. Is, rs.

WASHINGTON, u. Ii. FeD. 10, 10.
TO the Editor of the Enquirer:
"Maior-General Fitzpatrick will lee
ture in Washington March the 9Th
1875. Subject, Scenes and Incl
dents of the Late War, including
Gettysburg Also, at Blooming
burg March 6, 1875, on Sherman
March to the Sea.
Such is large handbill posted up
here, which might not be the cause oi
a second thought ordinarily, but now,
when coming events cast their
shadows before" it furnishes food
for some reflection. The first query
to my mind was commingling OF
the Republic of Chill, South Ameri-
ca; a woman of doubtful reputation
and the name of Kilpatrick-asking
if this be that same Fitzpatrick.
Secondly, will Fitzpatrick and his
sort never give us rest on this war
business? Are we always to cry
"Peace, peace, yet have no peace +?
Is the jackal become the prototype
of Americans, that will not let our
dead remain in their graves, but
must continually drag up their bones?
What good is to come to any one by
such course of lectures ? Is there
a grown man or woman in Ohio who
does not know more of the Late
War than they wish to? Is there
one outside of Kilpatrick's kind that
would not rather forget than bring
up afresh those hideous skeletons ?
Then cpi bono? But 1 see more in
this. Along with Grants open re-
solve to cause anarchy and confusion
in the South, there is to be a con-
certed effort to once again fire the
Northern heart, all being part of
that programme designed to lead to
a third term.
1t will be found that Grant has to-
day as definite plan formed, and is
as bent on carrying it to successful
termination, as he had when he sent
his famous dispatch from the Wilder
ness that he would fight it out on
that line if it took all summer So,
now, he is on line which he is
going to carry out if it takes all next
year, and, along with military usurp
alton in the South, crusade is to be
preached all over the North to blow
life into the dying embers of the late
war, and lead the Northern masses to
vote the way they shot. And this
lecture of General Fitzpatrick is the
first advance in that crusade.
This is my belief: Now, Kilpat-
rick and his sort have simply acted
the bully and the coward toward the
South ever since Lees surrender,
and while the South has honestly
surrendered, and the impression was
among men that love the United
States more than party, the dead
past was to be forgotten, these peo-
pie will not let 'by-gones be by-gones.
Those who are skeptical of Republics
will with interest watch to see if the
American people will supinely be led
in courses which have no end except
in the complete subversion of the
principles for which Washington and
our forefathers fought. 1t is a
question.
Excuse this from a we'll wisher ot
Democracy and the Enquirer.

"a Soldier of the Union mustered out"
Is the inscription on an unknown grave
At Newport News, beside the salt sea-wase,
Namelcss and dateless. Sentinel or scout,
Shot down in skirmish or disastrous rout
Of battle when the loud artillery drave
lis iron wedges through the ranks of brave
And doomed battaions stOrming the rcdoubt!
Thou unknown hero, sleeping by the sea
In thy forgotten grave with secret shame
feel my pulses beat, my forehead burn,
When l remember thou hast given for me
All that thou hadst, thy life, thy very name,
And 1 can give thee nothing in return.
