During the session of the Teachers In.
stitute in this city, which opens on the

weeks. Entertainment will be wanted for
one hundred or more teachers. Proprie.

private families III the city and vicinity,
are respectfully solicited to aid and en-.
courage these gatherings of teachers in
our city by cheerfully and generously
opening their doors for their entertain

tutc from day to day SO far as time will
permit. This early announcement Of our
wants will give ample time for every nee.
cssary preparation on the part of private
families end others, and it is hoped and
expected that prompt and liberal re-

will be given me, either in person or
through the Post Office, as to terms, and
the number each one can accommodate.
May the people of Austin improve this
opportunity of showing their interest in
every well-ditected effort to qualify teach
ers for their work, and their appreciation
of what the people in other parts of tho
county contribute toward the. growth aud
prosperity of every department OF their
business, by giving cordial welcome and

LAST Sunday, seeing Sheriff Hall pass
our door on his way to the Jail with bas.
kcts containing provisions for the prison.
crs, VIC felt all inclination to accompany
him to the cells, and accordingly asked
leave and were admitted. In collection
of ten we saw but a single familiar face.
The men ranging in age from thirty to
fifty years, entire strangers to US, and un-
known in t1te city except to the criminal
courts, appeared in the mess room to take
their dinner at the public expense. We
shall never forget how they looked:
haggam and filthy, they gathered
around the table and snatched the food
from the plates with as much ficrceness
as the brutes in menagric siezc raw
meat from the hands of their keepers
Instead IF sitting down and taking their
meat quietly they kept moving about,
swearing, pushing, pulling hair, and talk
ing in such 4 manner as to convey the
impression that imprisonment had served
only to arouse their worst passions and
excite them to the fullest activity. 1t has
seldom been our lot to see company of
men SO utterly dcpraved as those appear
Cd to be-. There seemed to be some pecu-
liar hidcousness about each one that
stamped HIM at his real value. In one
case it was the mouth extending across the
face diagonlaly from near the top Of one
ear around toward thc,base Of the other,
making the worst looking mark that ma
ture ever placed upon human face; in
another it was head, rcccding from the
eyes, depressed at the crown aa<: prohud-
ing far behind the ears, giving to the chm
degree Of prominence corresponding to
that of the pilot on locomotive; in a
third, the arms so long, as when pendent
to reach the knees, the legs two-thirds the
length of the trunk, and the almost flesh
less bones presenting. the appearance of
an animated anatomy, and thus was each
one characterized by some physical pccu-
liarality which would be noticed by the
most casual observer. We learned that
some were in custody for drunkenness and
vagrancy, and otilers for robbery, but
that nearly all were under the influence
of liquor when they wore arrested. What
a fearful commentary is this upon traffic
which is carried on under legal sanction
and considered respectable by majority
of the people of this State! Some of the
men whom we have described may have
been unfortunate in their inherited tend
sncies, but had proper influences surround
ed them in early life they might have
grown up in the pursuits Of honest indus.
try and in the excmp'itication of upright
lives The benevolent may w;rE for the
reclamation of these unlortunates, but
they rarely escape from the snares of vice
in which they have been caught. Let US
see that the footsteps of the young are
kept in the straight and narrow path.

all the claims of tile gospel, so much so
as to discourage his brevet wife, who
wished she had opittm enough to release
her from the custody of the police, and
from the company of her temporary hus-
band. She was evidently sorry, not that
she had sinned, but that she must go be-
fore the fudge and be stoned. The old
man didn't seem to care for he knows
that only the women arc punished for
adulterous practices.

THE Fall Term Of; the Public Schools
commenced last Monday with the usual
attendance and VIC hope to be able to note
good work as the weeks wear away. We
think there may NJ substantial improve
ment in some departments. The High
School has never been credit to the city.
Comparatively it has had fewer pupils
than any other room in the building, and
its progress and general standing: have
not Dcen commensurate with thu outlay
for its maintenance. Three things have
conspired to produce this condition. The
first is defective organization. There has
never been an unbroken continuity be-
tween the two extremes Of the school,

a prescribed course and graduate. There
has been paucity of proper incentives
to such work.
The third is the dcreliction of duty on
the part of patrons. There has not been
that supplementary aid given to the teach
ing force that. is due from the in
habitants Of the District Pupils have
been permitted to be irregular in their
attendance merely to crafty a disposition
to escape study, and perhaps to withdraw

for the purpose of engaging in some
business pursuit. When school is in pro-
grcss it should have in it's classes all the
children in the community that are of
proper age. II the means of obtaining
an education arc provided for all, surely
it is wrong if only one-half enjoy the
benefit of the provision. Such an error
can he remedled only by the people, and
we hope they will not fail to do their
duty.

CHARLES Garfield was lately brought
before Justice Griffith and tried on the
complaint of Deacon J. NJ. C'a6k for vio-
lating tho law which prohibits working
on the Sabbath, unnecessarily. 1t was
shown in evidence that Garfield was cut
ting grain on Sunday; and the jury re-
gardeds that work Of necessity end &C
quilted the defendant. Il is not our pur-
pose to- express any opinion as to the
course pursued by Deacon Cook 1t may
have been discreet and it may not, but
there is principle asserted in the law
prohibiting unnecessary labor on the
Sabbath, Of which Inc people should not
lose sight. It has been said that VIC have
no bible in our constitution, or laws. If
it is meant by this expression that the
bible has never been effectively the sub
ject of legislation, VIC admit the truth Of
the statement, but itcannot be denied that
all just laws are founded upon the gospel:
truths which the bible inculcates, and
there is none more conclusive nor is there
any that is accepted with greater unanin-
ity than the one which teaches that the
Sabbath day is holy. and that it Is sinful
to violate it by the performance of unnec-
essary secular labor. The whole civilized
world believes that there is divine author
ity for a perpetual injunction restraining
man from customary labor, one day in
seven. This Belief has been enacted and
given the force Of law. almost univers-
ally. Society has becn organized and
governments have been 'es tablishcd whose
very existence is contingent upon a con-
tinucd recognition Of the holiness of the
Sabbath day. History proves that those ma
tons which disregarded the Sabbath went
to destruction swiftly, not more by reason
of defective morals, than on account of
their physical enervation. Science and
experience unite their testimony in sup
port of the fact that labor with no inter-
ruption except to give time for eating and
sleeping cannot be continued a great
length Of time. The most vigorous soon
fail under the influence of constant TOLL,
