The following is a summer epi-
sode, as evolved by little Johnny:
Last summer our dog Towser
was lyin in the sun trine to
sleep, but the flies was that bad he
cuddent, cos he had to catch EN-,
and bime by bee lit on his he'd,
and was working about like the
dog was hisn. Towser he hel his
he'd still, and when the bee was
close to his nose, Towser winked
at me, like he said you see what
this duffer is q doin' he thinks I'm
lilly of the valley which isn't
open yet, but you just wait till I
blossom and you will see some fun,
and sure enuf. Towser opened his
mouth yer slo so as not to friten
the bee, and the bee went into
Towser's mouth. Then Towser he
shet his eyes dreamy, and his
mouth too, and had begun to make
peacefe smile wen the bee stung
him, and you never see q lilly Of
the valley ack so in all your life

The Democrats have been telling
the people for years past that the Re-
publican party must be held RESPONSE
bic for the acts of the Republican
Congress, but they strenuously object
to the Democratic party of Indiana
being held responsible for the acts Of
Democratic Legislature. 1t is a
poor rule that won't work both waya.

Miss Anna Dickinson is to lecture
at Steinway Hall upon the subject
enthusiastically described as the social
evil.' This is probably the first time
that young lady ever undertook to
instruct the public upon this theme;
but if she has any light to shed upon
it, by all means let her have the op-
portunity.

A OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

With more ex Confederates in
the next Congress than Union
soldiers, it is cheering to the latter
that their services for the Union
cause is still remembered here and
there throughout the country,
although as things are progressing,
it will not be long ere they will be
called upon to apologize for taking
up arms to prevent the dismember
mentof the country The following
tribute to the occupant of ''name
less grave is from the pen Of
Henry w. Longfellow:
a soldier of the Union mustered out"
Is the inscription of an unknown grave
At Newport News, beside the salt sea wave,
Nameless and dateless. Sentinel or scout,
Shot down in skirIRish, or disastrous rout
OF battle when the loud artillery drave
It's iron wedges through the ranks of brave
And doomed battalions storming the
redoubt.
Thou unknown hero, sleeping by the sea
In thy forgotten grave! with secret shame
feel my pulses beat, my forehead burn:
When rememb Der thou hast given for me
All that thou hast, thy life, thy very name,
And can give thee nothing In return.

The Indiana Democracy is willing
enough to assume responsibility in
regard to filing the Offices, but when
called to account for the failure of
legislation and the betrayal of politi-

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL QUESTION.

The tactics which the money oligarchy
intend pursuing in the next campaign to
divert attention from the all engrossing
topic, the money question, and incite and
foster, if possible, a religious feud, is begin
ning to be developed. The hue and cry
raised about the division Of the school
fund, is the sheerest bosh. The
fact that the indiscrtion Of
bishop or half balanced priest
is cited as All evidence that the entire
Catholic population intend to destroy our
public school system, and substitute there
for, as far as In their power lies, an insti-
tuition sectarian in its character, in which
will be inculcated, is one of the most pitt
bic and groundless that could be invented,
and shows to what straits our political ad
venturers have been reduced. We have
conversed with hundreds Of intelligent,
devoted Catholics in the ranks Of labor,
ON this question, and we have vet to find
ion of the school funds for any such pur-
pose. The universal sentiment expressed
has been that the church, Sabbath school
and family are the places where religious
instruction should be given to the rising
| generation. Our public schools should be
non Sectdridn in their character, and free

millionaire.
1t is true We have only one Sabbath in
seven days, but it is equally true that the
divine authority which established it (it is
immaterial whether the first or seventh
day Of the week, is recognized said, . ST.,
days shalt thou tabor and do all thy work,
but me sere,,th is the Lords, etc. OuI
,hildren are not sent to school to learn the
road to heaven-but the road to independ
ence-they are sent for specific purpose,
and that purpose is to equip and qualify
them for the race of life. If boy goei
to writing school, it is not to be sup
posed that astronomy should form part
Of his instruction. If he goes to sun
day school it is a religious, not a secular
instruction that he expects. Ii youns
man is apprenticcd in printing office, thu
repetition Of the Lords prayer forms n,
part OF his duty, and so on to the end o
the chapter. Worklngmen do not be de

ing the product OF our labor weighed, we have
no doubt the effects will be seen on Mr..
Reeds bill the next pay day.
The system Of ventilation at the shaft Is
almost perfection. At our visit IN 1867 to
the "B" shaft, in company with Alex
Mcdonald, Esq, now member Of Parliament
tor Stafford, England, ventilation was Sc
cured by n single volume Of air. which had
to travel round the entire shaft, thus bring
ing all the impurities Of the mine 70 the
rooms Of those who were SO unfortunate a. to
be working near the outlet. Under the
present system the main volume Is sub
divided into twelve distinct currents, thus
insuring pure are into each Of the twelve d.
visions, consisting of eight working faces.
The escapement shaft, situated forty yards
from the main shaft, affords at all times
safe exit in case of fire or accident We car
not pass over this subject without thanking
friend Hnchcliffe, in the name Of the miners
of Illinois, for the persistent efforts put forth
by him while in the Legislature, to secure the
passage of the Miners Bill, and the manner
escApement clause.
A new feature worthy OF especial notice
has recently been introduced at the 80" and
"H' shafts by Mr.. Ramsey, consisting Of a
box being placed under the screens where the
coal is tipped over which keeps all the slack
and nut from the marketable coal. 1t then
empties itself into large iron FOXES, one Of
which is placed at the side of each scret n.
| These boxes are hoisted simultaneously with
the cage from the bottom; in other words, for
shaft, one Of these boxes containing the
slack is hoisted to another screen, at an
elevation Of twenty-five feet, where by All
improved self acting tipple, the nut coal is
separated from the dust and clay; after which
the nut coal can be transferred direct to the
| engine room, to teams or cars. circum-
stances require, thus, in a great measure,
making marketable coal Of that which here
tofore has been allowed to 20 to waste. Thes,
advantages are all secured without extra ex
pense to the company, as the eutire process i
performed by the hosting machinery. By
this means the labor of the men aud mules
which have heretofore been employed to sep
arate the dross from the nut coal, and car
the same, have been dispensed with-a say
ing of no mean Importance
Such, in brief, were the results Of our Oh
servations derived from our hurried visit t
Braidwood-the magic city Of the pralries
We are pleased to add. that the good feelin,
prevailing among the men towards tho com
pany under the regime Of Mr. Ramsey, is il
striking contrast to that which existed nnde
his predecessor This Is not secured b,
any extra pay which they receive, but is tn
natural result Of his civility to all, aud tn
even-handed justice which he dispenses ahk
to employer and employe.
In conclusion. We desire to return our sin
cere thanks to Messrs Mclaughlin, Mooney
and Dando, for the kindness received at thei
hands, assuring them that 1t was duly appre
clated We trust that they may long contlnu
to command the respect and contiden,e Z
those whose cause they ably champion.
