merit the condemnation of every honest man.

Teachers Wages.

| do not know why so many persons
think the school teacher receives too much
for his services, unless it is because they
do not stop to consider the teachers eX-
penscs.
Mr.. takes a school at $50 per month
He is Il beginner, and wishing to do as
well as possible, has attended the Normal
Institute TO better qualify himself for the
position. 1t continues five weeks, and
costs him, including board, washing, tut
ton, certificate, and two books, $3.50.
His board for sixteen weeks, at three
dollars per week, amounts to $4S, and
here his expenses ought to end; but, on
entering the school room, he finds perhaps
some of Guyot's Outline Maps dated 1854,
and globe of the same age, with the sur
face completely ruined, and in some places
not even these appliances. On opening
the school he finds he needs Il hand bel,
which costs him one dollar and Il half
Next he needs electromagnetic q large
one, too-so he buys an unabridged for
$12. Then he needs Il call bell; after sit
ting on the desks and table Of he is lucky
enough to be furnished with onc) for IA
week or SO, he finds he needs chair, and
he goes and buys one At the end of the
month"; he finds that he is in need of
blanks for monthly reports to send to par
ents, as the reports are incentives to study
and help the teacher in keeping order
Motto-cards look well upon the walls of
school room, and are silent helps to the
scholars moral conduct, as well as lncen
tives to study.
At the close of the term his expenses
are, for board $4S, Normal expenses
S23 80, bells $3.50, dictionary $1,000,
chair $500, blanks $500, motto cards
$50, Teachers Journal $50; total
$93. His income is 800 and he finds
that he has received just seven dollars for
his winters work, and that without count
ing the cost of getting an education any
thing, which is no small item, for a Teach.
er's First Glass Ccrtiticatc' in Buchanan
County means something. And yet people
say the teachers wages are too high, when
they pay their farm hands twenty dollars
per month and board them in the bargain
Is it wonder that Mr. A becomes dis
couraged, and seeks his living at some
other profession: FORESTER FIEsTER.

McLeish and Begun at Quasuus ton
QUAsQuEToN, Oct. I, 70.

QUAsQuEToN, Oct. I, rs.
ED. BULLETIN:-We were favored
last night with another political
'hash,' served up by Messrs. McLeish
and Begun. A continued TRADE OF
abuse and personalities, without even
one idea advanced of what they pro
pose to do, except opposition to Re
publicans. They made such poor
work of the license question at OF
terville, that the subject was not even
mentioned here. The political bum
mers here claim that the ''end iusti-
ties the means,' and that accounts for
some of the statements made They
(after reading Knowles letter. had
the face to say that Laird had cheat
ed Knowles, that the letter was got
ten up so near election that they had
no time to refute it.
Mr.. Begun claims that parties will
become corrupt, and said that their
party would become corrupt. Ger
tainly, from the corruption already
manifest he could not well help to
confess ii. They undertook 10 make
the audience believe that the Como"
caucus WIS run by Laird; and also,
the Conservative was made to be-
licve that Liberty caucus was run by
three men and boy. In regard to
both of the above caucuses, the least
that can be said about it is, that those
who put these reports in circulation
are guilty Of political lying, and not
excepting the Conservative, for after
it had published the letters of" Wry"
and @Quasqueton" for three weeks in
regard to Liberty caucus, it was
thought best to reply to it. And
what was the result? The COnser0r
utice refused to make tho dmeu0e
honorabie, and in the same issue cd
itorially stated, rs a matter Of fact,
what is known to be a willful lie
But it is all in accordance with the
only principle they advocate. The
means justify the end. w.

Congressman Cox tells in Uurpey'S
Monthly that Sergent S. Prentiss
was once in a public discussion taunt-
ed with the habit of drunkenness.
Prentiss rctorted wlttily. He first
described in classic style the utilities
and inspirations of wine and whisky.
Then he pictured the glugglug-ging
of the Jug, as the politician tits it
and pours FROM its reluctant mouth
the corn juice SO beloved of his soul.
There is no music dearer to his cav,
unless it be the same glug-glug-ging
as it disappears down his capacions
throat. Then turning to his opponent,
his face all shining with finn, he said:
"Now, fellow citizens, during this
ardent campaign, which has been so
fatiguing, l have only been drunk
once. Over in Sampson county |
WAS compelled tc sleep in the same
bed with this distinguished pominec,
this delight Of his party, this woadsr
ful exponent Of the princi pies and
practices of,he uh washed Democracy,
and in the morning found myself
druak on corn whisky. | had lain too
close to this soaked mass of Democ-
racy, and ! was drunk from absorb
ton"
