ST. NICHOLAS FOR AUGUsT.-We doubt if these
vacation days yield any pleasure to the yOung
readers of 81. Nicholas greater than that of the
magazine. No days are too hot for the exercise it
affords no monotony is so fixed but it will van
ish before the appearance of this monthly novel;
ty.
As for the visitor itself, ST. Nicholas wears al
ways the jolly face which the good Saint whose
name it bears puts during the holidays,-is as
merry and cheerful in the open air as at the fire.
side.
1t brings US this month a series of excellent
contributions, all interesting, and some of them
pleasantly suggestive of mountain air and sea-
breezes. "The Cruise of the Crusoe" for instance,
Ia prolonged boat journey such as almost every
boy would like to take on some one of these
Summer days., hardly needs illustration, since it
is itself a very perfect picture; yet it has six
characteristic and familiar scenes in pencil.
There is an interesting paper on Umbrellas, with
picture of the first Umbrella in the streets of
London. "a Gunpowder Plot is the story of an
assault upon a hornets nest in which the STRAIT
egy of the attacking party has to contend against
the power and number of the garrison, and it is
natural, humorous and pathetic, appealing strong
ly to the interest of all boys. Rose Terry Cooke
gives us a lively controversy in rhyme between
two chickens on that familiar suLject-always a
fruitful cOntention-the origin of the species.
Besides all this and much more, there are sto-
ries by Helen C. Weeks and Emily Huntington
Miller; paper on the collection and preserva-
tion of "sea-weeds;" )" description of "A Board
ing School in I57O;" and delightful story for
girls "The Pine-stick Doll" with its beautiful
illustration-the frontispiece of the number
drawn by Miss Jessie Curtis.
''Jack-in-the-Pulpit," with his paragrams and
conundrums, is still as wise and witty as ever;
and worthy of notice also is bright little jingle
called "Hans, the Small EsquimaUx," with its
picture, in which the iceberg is as refreshing to
us as the Polar Bear is terrifying to the little
fur-clad northerner

PUBLIC PLUNDER.-The Leavenworth Com

much higher figures than were offered by anoth-
er bidder. Isn't that what DelanO is kept in the

nounced as Democrat, we would venture to
ask some of the third-term men why Grant re-
fused to let this scOundrel resign his place in the

was demanded by Republicans all over the coun-
try, as measure necessary for the welfare of the

Q.ueer Doctrine.

That staid old religious paper, the New York Oh
se.r, recent contained an article from the able
pen of Rev-W. P. Strickland, entitled "a Good
Word for SAUL" which contains some strange
ideas for Christian. Had we written such an
article, it would have been set down as an evil
dence of Infidelty, and criticism of the doings OF
the Lord. The writer commences by expressing
assonishment that God m ade Saul King of Israel,
(assuming that God did it,) aud then proceeds
10 give the leading traits Of Sanl's character, to
show that there was nothing particularly to at
tract God toward him.
Saul was very handsome, (but, the writer re-
marks, God is no respecter of persons or OF ap-
pearances). Saul was not of royal blood, or born
OF family of priests. He was modest and re-
firing, and when be was to be crowned, he hld
himself. He was kind-hearted and forglvlns
and did not resent slight omissions of decorum
After suppressing a rebellion, he did not slaugh-
ter the rebels. After defeating an enemy, he
saved the fine cattle, and refused to murder
young prisoner. Although he conspired against
the life of David, he repented it, when he came
to his right mind, for he evidently labored under
some mental disease upon the subject
Now, why, with all those traits, the writer
wants to know, did God make Sanl a King. The
logical inference is, that Mr.. Striekland's ideal
God would have been n being like this: After
creating blood himself, he would have selected
only princely or priestly blood for King. He
would have picked out hard hearted and M
forgiving brute, who would have slaughtered his
conquered enemies, men, women and children,
with their herds; who would have lied to his
| foes, and after gaining the advantage over them
in that way, would have murdered helpless pris-
oners; and instead of repenting his deeds OF
blood, would have left provision in his will for
numbering somebody, after the style of David
| (By the way, was David of royal bloody In a
word, he would have been q compound of brutal.
ity, treachery, and Righteousness. And it passes
all human understanding why God should have
made Saul King. 1t is well for the world that
Mr.. Strickland's God is not the one that controls
things.

The Census.

There is dispute going on over the relative
.Asc;encv of the State and United States systems
of taking the eensus-the persons who arranged
the present State plan, contending that 1t is per-
hans the wisest thing ever conceived by the
brain of man. The State census is simply fail
ure and serves not as well to give an idea OF our
population as a careful estimate. 1t IS nonsense
TO compare the State census with that taken by
the United States
To begin with, a department OF the Oeneral
Government has, for almost hundred years,
been charged with the duty of census taking,
and has had all that time to perfect its plans and
tables, improving by it's own experience, and
having access to the best approved systems oi
other countries. Persons are appointed IN each
County and District for the exclusive purpose oi
taking the census; men are selected who are
competent, they well paid, and it is to their
interest to make the work complete.
But how about State censnsi The work de-
wolves upon the Township Trustees, who are
elected in numerous instances, upon some petty
local or personal issue, and many of whom are
not fit TO perform the simplest duties of their
Office. Through the extraordinary wisdom of
Agricultural Boards and other barnacles that have
fastened themselves upon the State Government,
the business of assessing has bsen increased to
such extent, and has been so complicated, that
it is impossible for the most competent men to do
Justice These Trustees, in addition, have been
charged with the work Of taking the census
They are paid So per day, and allowed certain
length of time. If they cannot do all the work
in that time, they may employ deputies. But
whether they have census to take OF not
the time is always occupied to the last day
They get the 50, whether the enumeration is cor
rect OF not. There is no inducement to make II
correct, as it does not affect their pay, whether
the number be large small. So that they
make some sort of a return, they have filled the
requirements of the law, as they believe.
We doubt whether a single County in the
State will show a correct census, notwithstand
ing the profound wisdom of the managers of the
Agricultural Board in designing the plans.

turn their attention to darying principally and it does
seem that our Donphan County farmers might make this
profitable auxiliary branch of business without inter
ferinG to great extent with their customary mode OF

pished are quite worthy of powerful and

not bring ourselves believe that relief be brought
to the doors Of INDECENT arss by class legislation by
the determination If il were possible Of mddemen,
any branch Of business whatever that the farmer will
be benefited by ebarkng in the manufacture of agr
cultural other machinery which is all germane
to the business of farming itself
We must be permitted TO indulge private opinion
that it would be better to invest the Grange funds in
cheese factory if they used in any manuacur
ing enterprise at all rather than in pillow factory
reaper factory and il would be better to let member
pay SIS reaper than he ought pay for it if

of introducing and rendering successful such
enterprise in every locality where practicable.
