THE Conservative has been ready with
Its catechism during the past two or three
weeks. When it has asked us such ques-
tons as this; "Why does the Wapsie run
north and empty into the Mississippi at
St. Paul?" and we have gently suggested
to it that the fact of the Wapsie's running
north needs first to be established, it has
treated our suggestions with lofty disda;n
and still stcrnly demands of us why our
classic stream seeks northern outlet
Now, for this once, we propose to take the
book and ferule and give out brace or
SO of questions for the consideration of
our neighbor We shall not ask why the
ladies of South America walk on their
heads, and demand categorical answer
on the instant, but, having in another
place demonstrated that Mr.. Ainsworth to
be as much Salary Grabber as Gov.
Kirkwood, we would like to know:
Why the Conservative attacks the
latter so savagely and has nothing to say
in condemnation of Ainsworth?
2.-Why is it that the Conservative,
which, during the past two years, has fire.
quently told its readers that neither of the
old parties was worthy of confidence, and
their leaders corrupt, is now supporting
with all its might the vericst old Bourbon
in Iowa for Governor?
3.-Why is it that the Conservative,
that last year was prating to the farmers
about monopolies, telling them that the
railroad question was the paramount issue,
and that they could not get relief from
oppression except through the Anti-Mo-
nopOly party, now has not word to say
about the rights of farmers, and is sup
porting for Supreme Judge a railroad at
torney, nominated on a platform that ig-
nores the farmer and his grievances alto

THE INSTITUTE. County Normal
Institute, or school for teachers, convened
at the West Side school building on Mon
day, and will remain in session from two
to four weeks, dependant upon the num-
Der in attendance, and the amount of
funds received to pay the necessary ex-
penses. The Institute is under the direc-
ton of Supt. Row, assisted by Messrs.
Parker, Brainard and Robertson. The
number of teachers in attendance up to
the present time, is about 70, but others
are joining daily, and it is anticipated that
the number will reach more than one hun
drcd by next week. Every teacher in the
county should, if possible, avail himself
OR herself of the advantages presented by
this school, and we hope to see this num-
Der reach 200 or more.

r. II. ACCIDENT-The Waterloo Re
porter of Wednesday, says:
The Ill. Cent. had an accident this side
of Fort Dodge last Friday night. Con-
ductor Newton's train coming east ran in
to drove of horses and after knocking
fourteen of them off the track, the engine
went off with the tender, baggage car and
forward trucks of the first coach. The
engine rolled over into the mud which,
fortunately, was deep enough to prevent
any very serious damage. Train Master
Sanders started with the wrecking car
about II O'Clock, and by morning had the
track clear No one hurt and the damage
not very heavy.

Our ncighbor across the way appears TO
be exercised because we made use of the
idea of robbing hen roosts, in illustration
of the preposterous accusations that
might be made against an individual, and
how unnecessary it is to take notice of
them, without proofs are produced. We
are at a loss to account for our neighbours
sensitiveness. Is it possible that he sup
poses we meant to intimate that he would
lob hen roosts. If so, we hope he will be
disabused. While we regard his indecent
assaults upon Gov. Kirkwood, his appeals
to passions and prejudiccs, and his use of
rabid rhetoric in general as holding the
same relation to legitimate politics as
chicken stealing does to good morals, we
are free to say that we do not believe,
nor have we thought of intimatlng, that
he would acquire" his occasional pot-pie
by winning" it off hen roost Further.
more, we are convinced that we can pay
no higher tribute to the correctness of his
daily walk and conversation than to say
that it presents the broadcast possible con-
trast to his political methods. ''Rest,
perturbed spirit"

RUNAwAys.-A team owned by NJ NJ
Bucher, of Byron township, started from
the mill, on Friday last, turned on to the
bridge, and ran at breakneck pace up
through Main street, which was crowded
with teams and pedestrians, finally bring
ing up at Edwards corner, where they
rushed at full speed into the team of John
Hardy, knocking them down, breaking
the pole of the wagon, &c. Curiously
enough neither team was seriously injured /;
but in passing UP the street the team of
Marinus' icc-wagon caught the runaway
spirit, and started up Walnut street, scat
tering the ice in all directions, but were
finally stopped without damage. 1t was
with difficulty that Dr. Hunts horses were
prevented from joining the race; and for
a few minutes there was the lveliest kind
of time on the street.
On Tuesday evening team, which had
started to run up town somewhere, and
had managed to ''get shet" of all the
wagon but the forward wheels and tongue,
came rushing down Main street like a
whirlwind. A man in light wagon, with
lady, being just in front of the runaway
team, whipped up his horses and turned
the corner of Main and Chatham not rod
in advance. By sklllful management
hugging the east side of Chatham street.
he escaped destruction, as the frightened
animals were gaining ON him at every
jump Hitch your teams.
GEOLOGICAL.-We were favored on Fri
day last with call from Prof. w. P.
Fox, of Des Moines, and Prof w. H.
Beach, principal of the Dubuque schools.
Prof. Fox is the Secretary of Group t.
embracing the Geology of the State-in
the Department of Iowa in the Centennial
Exposition. The business that brought
the gentlemen to our city was to procure
specimens for the cabinet to be placed in
the Centennial building and which it is
designed to make very complete and COM
prehensivc, presenting full and satisfac
tory illustration of the geological structure
of our State. For this purpose the State
is divided into 81 districts, represented by
corresponding number of cases in the
Exposition, upon which will be arranged
upon shelves, commencing with the lower
formations and progressing upward in the
order of their strata, the specimens col
lected in each district of the State. These
cases will be enclosed with glass fronts,
and each lettered with the number and
name of the District, the whole being sur
mounted by broad arch, bearing the
name of the State, group, character, &c.
Messrs. Fox and Beach, procuring the
assistance of our local scientist, D. S.
Deering, Esq, made very satisfactory
collection of rocks in this vicinity, filing
two boxes, which were forwarded to Des
Moines to be dressed and prepared for eX-
hibition.

Musical Education in our schools.

How Is this great power Of music TO be
controlled aud brought 10 bear most direct
ly, most efficiently, on our people? That
nation is the best educated in which knowl-
edge is most diffused, in which the r, suits
Of learning are within the grasp of The
greatest number. Only so far as any art or
science becomes part of popular educa-
lion can that art or science become pow
er, an influence, in a land. or the grow
ing desire among our people for higher
musical education we have many signs in
the frequency Of festivals and choral unions
and the number of musical associations.
We Americans are a conglomerate race,
made up of the best of every people under
the sun, SO transrused that the origin of
even a single family can scarcely be Traced
without an element Of Celtic or Teutonic
race discovering itself. Perhaps this is the
source o: the musical taste so widely spread
among us as people. We say taste, not
culture; we are not yet cultivated peo
pie in any true sense. As national char
acterslic, 10 be song and music lovers be-
longs to the Irish and German races rather
than 10 the Saxon. 1t is rare to find Ger
man or an Irish girl without an ear for
music. In our Western States and centers
Of population the Germans instinctively
gather, in remembrance OF the father-land,
into Sangvereins, preserving the songs and
musical traditions Of the old land, while
they welcome gladly anything fresh and
worthy from the new. The marvellous
achievements Of the school festivals in the
Music Hall in Boston are largely due to the
fine voices, the quick perception, of the
Irish, either by birth or descent, who con-
slitute a majority Of the pupils in our pub
lie schools.
No one Thing has done more for music in
the past twenty years than its Introduction
as an integral part of our common sch ool
education. In the large cities and subur-
ban towns little seems left TO desire in that
direction. From The lime children at the
age of five enter the primary school till at
the age of sixteen or eighteen they gradu-
ate from the high or normal school, music
Is as much part of their training as the
multiplication table and spelling book.
The next generation will see what we fore
see, and reap the harvest this generation is
so widely sowing.
II, as we contend, music is in itself puri-
flying and elevating, if il can displaee and
crowd out baser pleasures by giving inno-
cent recreation and excitement TO people
that must be amused, a people who must
be busy for good or for evil, we can not
have too much of II, Ii can not enter too
largely or too deeply into the system OF
common-school education.-HdTper's Mag
dzine for October.

found my tongue afler awhile too, so that
when uncle Jerry and aunt Nancy came
home, we sat by the fire as sociable as
though we had known each other all our
lives.
"Well, / staid and staid there till my
folks began to think never was coming
home. helped uncle jerry get in the late
crops and I had a knack with saw and
hammer which made me very useful about
the house TO aunt Nancy. Then in the eve
ming sometimes took Content to husk-
ing or an apple-bee.
FINALLY my father sent for me, and that
night, coming home from husking at
Deacon Banifords-I mind how the moon
shone down through the pine trees that
shaded the road Content promised 10 go
back TO the Bay State with me when I came
up in the spring"
Uncle Ezekiel grew thoughtful. He
seemed 10 he living over again that golden
October evening; Geneva clasped her hands
together and said in that pretty little affect
ed way she has:
"What did she say when you proposed
to her? Oh, 1 should like to know so
much"
Uncle Ezekiel reused up:
"She gave me a simple, straightforward
answer" said he, land didn't ogle and put
on airs, as you would have done in her
place, miss"
We were familiar with Uncle Ezekiel's
rough ways, but we all thought he was too
hard upon Geneva, so we changed the sub
iect to the aslimportaiions 10y Stewart and
he fell into doze in his easy chair by the
crate.
