Mt. Carmel School.

Mr.. G.. w. jenkins closed five
months term of school on Friday last.
March 10th, at Mt. Carmel, or more
familiarly, Pcppcrbox. The old folks
were out in full force, and, hest of all,
they brought their dinng-baskcts,
filled to ovcrflowing with refresh
mcnts; enough for dinner and supper
too.
The exercises in the afternoon con-
sisted of dcclamations and songs, all
Of n pleasant and interesting charac-
ter. The pupils showed their love
and esteem for the teacheg by pre-
senting him with a beautiful photo
graph album. The presentation was
made by Misc nn". Maughmcr in n
neat and appropriate speech, which
was feelingTy responded to by Mr..
Jenkins.
The school has been q decided sue
cess, and it is safe to say that no for
mcr teacher has given the general
satisfaction that Mr.. jenkins has.
The sad and fearful faces Of the chill
drcn showed how deep was his hold
upon their affections. The old folks
expressed themselves as highly pleas
ed with the tcachc" and with the ad-
vanccment of their children.
The spelling at night was well at
tended, and proved to be a pleasant
ending to a successful school. KIT.

AFFECTING.-Oneo of the most affect
ing scenes, which occurred during court
last week, was in the case of the two
johnson boys. These boys are about II
and II years old respectively. They
had been indicted, arrested and lodged
in Jail for cutting of some bride reins
in Newcastle sometime since. Judge
Mccullough and John G.. Howell were
appointed as counsel and, after having
examined the case, advised the boys to
plead guilty to the charge. They were
brought into court by the Sheriff, az
raigned and plead guilty according to
the instructions of their attorneys.
When the court began to question the
little fellows, they began to cry, yet
giving intelligent answers to the qucs-
tions asked them. They said they were
poor, and had no money, and their IA
ther was unable to pay fine for them.
They promised that if they got out OF
this that they would be good boys ever
after. The Court after hearing all they
had 10 say, fined them ono cent each.
The little fellows, although in great dis
tress, did not forget to thank MS honor
for his kindness. bid him farewell and
went home, carrying with them the
sympathy of all present, and we hope
will remember and appreciate the lesson
learned on that humiliating' OCCASION,

Woman's Sphere.

ED. RErUBI1CkN Our quiet city
has been visited by Miss Susan B.
Anthony, who favored us with an ef-
fcctivc lecture, which appeals to the
energies and intelligence of the
women of this community. We
think the subject one to be taken into
consideration, if thereby we can in
any way amclioratc our subordi-
nate positions, with reference to
matters of moment.
We do not feel inclined to complain
of grievances or trials, which would
in any way be alleviated by means of
the ballot {; but since we are convimc-
ed many of our less fortunate sisters
do have reason for complaint, should
we not gladly put forth every effort
in our power to elevate our sex, and
encourage them to q more exalted
sphere ofaction? Ladies do not wish
for any position which would be OBJ
tanned by means of the ballot, rs there
are, under existing circumstances,
many positions of usefulness open for
them.
Women, in the capacity Of minister,
is accomplishing great good, while
1t is generally conceded that woman
would make a very usefal physician.
AS teachers, ladies are generally
equally endowed with men in those
qualities which tend to make sue
ccssfnl tcacher--in that of patience,
certain greater powers Of endurance,
zeal for the welfare of mankind, often
forgetting there is q rccompcnse for
them. except to accomplish desired
end, by skillful and wclireant means.
In many instances men place an cs-
innate upon the character of ladies
from standpoint of virtues of those
of his Owa household, and when intu-
itively taught to respect mother and
sisters, will more frequently than
otherwise feel paug upon witness
ing any thing that would place her
below the level of true womanhood.
Then if disfranchiscmcnt means
degradation, what better or spccdicr
plan can we adopt to elevate the stan
dard Of our sex than by securing the
right of ballot, which only can be OBJ
tanned by convincing men that it will
be ennobhng them while elevating
lis from Il position of dependence.

Singular Death.

Col. Ed. Bruce, of Chillicothe, once

Exposures.

We are not alarmed or discouraged b.
the exposures Of raseality in high places
and low, which greet our eyes in almost
every mornings newspaper. These en-
posuros are the natural product OF healthy
reaction, the preliminary steps toward
the national cure. So long as fraud,
poculation and detection exists, the fas-
ter these exposures come the better.
Every exposure is Il preacher of right
eousnoss. an ovangel of reform. The
more dangerous all rascality and infidel-
ity to trnst can be made to appear, the
better for society. In any cutaneous
disease, the more we SEQ OF it the better.

from the surface, that it is most danger

Gold Enough to Pay the, National

a gentleman Just in from the noun

ton of the San Juan mining country.
The headquarters of this famous region
is Del Norte, city of 5000 inhabitants,

of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad. The famous Summit gold
mines are thirty miles from Del Norte.

nearly 1000 acres in extent. It was evi-

The famous Little Annie mine is located

Halt dozen mills are on the way to
the mines, and the coming summer will
show ShiS to be the richest gold region in

The famous Lake District silver mires
are also within hundred miles of the
Summit District, as are also the Decatur
and Bitter creek gold and silver mines.
Beyond this district. bordering on Utah

A Spanish Poem.

y let the soul its slumbcr break,
Arouse its senses and awake,
To see how soon
Life, with its glory, glIdes away,
And the stern footsteps OF decay
Come stealing on.
And while we eye the rolling tide,
Down which our flowing minutes glide
Away 50 fast.
Let Us the present employ,
And deem each future dienm UijOy
Already past.
Let no vain hope deceive the mind
No happier let Us hope to find
Tomorrow than to-dnv;
our golden dreams of yore were bright;
Like them, the present shall delight
Like them, decay.
Our lives, like hasting streams, must be-.
That into one cngulphipg sea
Are doomed TO fall, -
The sea of death, whose waves roll on
Ger King AMI Kingdom, crown and throne,
And swallow all.
Alike the rivers ,lordly tide,
Alike the humble rv'lct's glide
To that sad wave;
Death levels property and pride,
And rich and poor sleep side by side
Within the grave.
Our birth is but the starting place,
Life is the running of the ra.,r,
And death the goal:
There all those gittcrng TOYS are brought.
The path alone, of all unsought,
l. found Of all.
Say, then, how poor and little worth
Are all those glittcriEg toys of ca1h
That lure is here?
Dreams ofa sleep that death must break.
Alas before ii bids us wake,
le disappear
