Employment.

There is nothing like it. No one
should be idle; idleness is the parent
of mischief, of misery and of crime.
Few are really idle, but many spend
their time to no good purpose, and it
is of such that the poet says;
"And Satan finds some mischief still

by maintaining our independence, and

First then, useful employment is, or

by all. On the other hand, it should
be encouraged by those who can fur

the practice of giving employment to
those who ask aims, rather than free

1t is no less the duty Of the laborer
to encourage others to labor, than it is
TO labor himself. He should offer to

Crime and Criminals.

The distinction, says writer, that
the English system makes between the
habitual and occasional criminal, is
that one is tempted into crime by a
sudden opportunity, or forced thereto
by some great necessity, while the 9TH
ermakes it his business, pursues it with
skill and perseverance, and, in fact,
becomes recognized as one who lives
by depredations onsociety. This class
is well organized. 1t has houses in
which its members meet, quarters in
which they live, where community

protection of general watchfulness,
and established appliances and ends by
which they can dispose of their plum.

dangerous and the most difficult 70 re-
form of all classes of criminals. In
their eyes, robbery is regular pursuit
of trade which they have learned, and
which even repeated convictions and
punishments will not induce them to
abandon. In the debates in Parlia-
ment an instance was stated in which
the keeper of certain goal had been
struck with the qulckness, ability and
general good disposition of prisoner
in his charge. When the time of the
mans sentence was expiring, and the
period of his liberation approached, the
jailer asked him about his intentions

Advantages Of Normal Training.

is clearly shown By the present man.
agement of the Normal, and will not
be advocated by teachers who receive
their education there. Then another
advantage derived from normal train.
ing is thoroughness Very often we
enter school and find that it has been
but half attended to, and we are prob.
ably often guilty of the same error be-
cause we have not been thorough in
our preparation or instruction.
Many claim, perhaps with some
truth, we can be thorough and gather
all of these little points and never at
tend Normal School. Possibly we may,
but are we as apt to, unless we attend
school that has this very thing for
its aim!
There are some persons who are not
friends to the Normal, if indeed they
are friends to anything that tends
towards the elevation or refinement of
society, and there are also some pu-
pills of the Normal, who are not ad-
vanced according to their own ideas
of promotion, that think it is throw
ing time away to gather up those mi
nor matters as they call them; but
these small things go smoothly togeth-
er to make solid education, just as
sure as the rain-drops unite and form
the mighty Goods that sweep down our
valleys.
1t will be as impossible to prevent
teachers who have placed their educa-
ton on firm basis, from pulling down
ignorance and false teachings, as it is
to stop these rapid currents.
Thoroughness is virtue we all very
much need, and | know of no place
that is so we'll suited to the combina-
ton of thoroughness, and system, as the
Normal. There we find it in all the
different parts of the school
The system of the Normal with all
its advantages, can no more be intro
duced into district schools, than can a
Normal building be had in every dis
trict, but the training received there
stores The mind with such practical
knowledge, that thorough teachers
are masters of the situation whether
it be in an eight by ten log school
house, or one excellently arranged and
furnished. This does not mean that
teachers are manufactured, but pre-
pared They must be energetic, faith
full, and in earnest.
These, fellow teachers, are my
thoughts of the Normal and its mission;
and will the present faculty toexecute,
and man who fully feels the respon-
sibility of his position, as president
feeling assured that in him are COM
bined strength, courage and kindness
know that the object aimed at will
be completely accomplished.

The people of the capital were startled, on
the morning of Sunday, the 18th inst, by the
announcement of the sudden and dangerous
illness of Mr.. Blaine. Mr.. B., accompanied by
his family, walked from their home to DR..
Rankin's Congregational church, a distance of
half mile. The heat was excessive, but Mr..
Blaine made little complaint of it. When he
reached the steps of the church, however. he
put his handkerchief to his eyes in strange
manner, and his wife asked him what was the
matter-if he had anything in his eyes. He
said "No but think am sunstruck. Oh,
my head On, my head ~ and sank down in
sensible in his wife's arms at the threshold of
the church. The gentleman was at once con-
veyed to his home. Physicians were sent, for
and soon arrived. They pronounced the attack
was one of sunstroke. DR.. J. W. Pope,the fami-
Iyphysicisn, stated that the cause of the attack
cerebral depression, the consequence, pri-
marily, of great mental strain, and secondly,
of the excessive heat. It was several hours
before Mr.. Blaine returned to consciousness
sufficiently to recognize any members of his
family, and for time grave apprehensions
we're felt regarding the issue of his illness.

A Desperate Encounter Between Two
CoIOradoans-Three Shots Fired, and
One of the Men Killed.
[St Louis Cor. Chicago Tribune.l
A dispatch from Denver, Col, says
there is great excitement over the duel
which was fought at River Bend, Col.
The participants were Albert Jessup, son
of prominent New York banker, and M.
o. Davis, both of whom for some time
past have been trading extensively
in cattle. The circumstances attend
ing the deadly encounter are of
the most peculiar character. No Ill
will is known to have existed between
the two men, and no cause whatever
can be figured for the thrilling tragedy.
Seconds were dispensed with entirely,
preliminaries being arranged by the
principals themselves in apparently
amiable manner, and without the slight
est display of anger or ill-will. The
men, after meeting and conversing
quietly together for few moments, evil
IDENTIFY decided that one or the other
must die. What they talked about will,
it is more than probable, remain a secret
for all time. After Jessup and Davis
had concluded their interview, which
had been brief, and as subsequent events
proved, to the point, they strolled off
together on the prairie, and after finding
a suitable spot, counted off fifty PAGES.
Davis was armed with q Winchester
rife and Jessup with revolver. A
crowd having noticed the mysterious
movements of the duelists, collected,
and had by this time approached near
enough to witness the preparations men
toned. No sooner had the ground been
marked off than the two men took their
stations 150feet apart, and, as the words
care you ready9" issued from the lips
of both, firing commenced. Jes-
sup succeeded in firing three
shots. none of which took effect. Da-
Wis first shot was also wide, but as the
smoke curled from the mouth of his re-
peater for the second time, his antagon-
list was seen to reel. the pistol fell from
his hand, and he fell on his face dead,
with bullet through his heart. Davis,
aided by those who had been spectators
of the duel, carried the body back to the
railroad station, which is on the Kansas
Pacific road, seventy miles east of Den
yer. The corpse arrived at Denver in
the evening, and was placed in the hands
of an undertaken to be prepared for ship
ment to friends in New York. After
seeing the corpse placed on the train at
River Bend station, Davis took advan-
tage of the confusion which prevailed,
mounted his horse and rode of, since
which time he has not been seen.

clutched his oaken stick with frmer
grasp, and advanced threateningly
toward Blaine, who sat in a chair
three feet from him watching
every movement with unfinching
eye. Knott raised his diminutive
form, and you could hear in the silence

inquiry which, being interpreted, meant

When the subcommittee adjourned,
Knott, approaching Frye, member of
the committee, and who has been in
attendance as advisory friend of Blaine,
said to him: Mr.. Frye, your friend
Blaine is the god-damnedest scoundrel
in America" This remark, or its equiv

print, it should be added that Frye
replied "You forget yourself, Mr..

and apologized for having made it.
