Tie Greatest Medical Discovery since the Crea-

There never has been-a time when the

Harlan Mon,nated

Gen. John M. Harlan, of Louisville
Kentucky, was nominated to-day by
the President for Justice of the Su-
preme Court, Uice. Judge David Da-
Wis of Illinois elected to the Senate to
succeed Gen. John A. Logan.
Gems Harlan has been pronounced
Republican for years. He was loyal
to the Union during tho war. and aid
cd Rosseau and other loyal Ken
tuckians in putting considerable
Federal force in the field from that
State, one of its regiments being un.
der his command.
Since the close of the war he has
twice been the gu ubernatorial stand
ard bearer of the Republicans of that
hopelessly democratic State.
For several years he has been the
law partner of Gen. B. II. Bristow,
having notably large practice in the
different Departments and before the
courts of Washington, prosecuting
Southern claims.
He was the chairman of the Bris-
tow delegation in the Cincinnati con-
vention, and in the supreme moment
carried his delegation over in body
to Hayes, thus materially aiding in
the nomination of the latter.
.
Gen. Harlan is reputed to be an
uncommonly able lawyer. He is GER
tainly one of the most magnificent
looking men, physically, in the coun-
try.
His nomination is among the sbesi
the President has made; certainly
better than any of his other sclec.
tions from the South.

Poor Girls.

The poorest girls in the world are
those who have never bcen taught to
work. There are Thousands Of them.
Rich parents have petted them; they
have been taught to despise labor,
and depend upon others for living,
and are perfectly helpless. Ifmisfor-
tune comes upon their friends, as II
often does, their case is hopeless. -
The most forlorn and miserable wO-
men upon earth belong to this class.
1t belongs to parents to protect their
daughters from this dcplorable condi-
ton. They do them a great wrong II
they neglect it. Every daughter
should be taught to earn her own liy-4
ing. Tho rich as well as the poor re-
quire this training. The wheel Of
fortune rolls swiftly r0und-the rich
are very likely to become poor, and
the poor rich. Skill to labor is NO
disadvantage to the rich, and is indis-
pensable to the poor. Well-to-do par
ents must educate their children 10
work. No reform is more impera-
tive than this.

THE democratic reformers are
pretending to favor the Presidents
policy, including the latter's civil
service measures. 1t is noticeable,
however, that in the organization of
the House, which is in the hands Of
the democrats, not single Republic
an remains among the officers. Adams,
of Kentucky, was reelected Clerk of
the House upon the express promise
that he would ship some four or
five Republicans he had retained
during the last session of Conrgess,
because he did not see how he was to
discharge the duties of his Office
without retaining some Of tho old
clerks.
While the President is making
Cabinet officers out Of democrats and
submitting his will to that Of Ben
Hill and General Gordon as to who
shall be appointed to Office in Geor-
gia, the democratic House is hypo-
critically praising the President for
his civil service reform, and at the
same time making clean sweep of
every Republican from appointive
offices, where they have the power.
1t is not often that a man is foolish
enough to place his head, on his own
volition, within the jaws of the wolf,
but this appears to be exactly what
President Hayes is doing just now.

ence in their status In the way Of
their mail facilities, as also in very
many other things. It is shameful
that this should be so, and Iowa
stands ready, willing and anxious to
aid in securing for st. Louis the best
possible mail facilities. The. st. l.
X. q. & N. Railroad ought, by all
means, to have the railway postal
service upon its line, and two mail
trains per day to this point, Chicago
has now two mails per day to at least
three different points on the eastern
border Of Iowa. Certainly st. Louis
ought to bo able to get her mails
twice . day into Iowa by one line Of
railway. st. Louis mail from this
point finds rapid transit east and
west by the G. D. s. @. road, and
north and northwest by the X. y D..
NJ. and the Iowa Central railroads,
and from these two latter roads mail
can be distributed east and west
through tho state where they cross
the various east and west lines Of
railway.

The maddcst man met in WASH
ington to-day was Republican ex-
Congressman from Ohio, and the
subject Of his indignation was the
cordial reception given to Toombs, OF
Georgia, at the White House, the 9TH
er day. My informant stated that
while hc and other Republicans were
waiting in the Presidents ante
chamber few days ago, Toombs sent
bis card up from the door below.
Tho President was not content to ask
him up, but went down to the door
and welcomed the arch rebel as if he
had been . long lost brother. The
two remained together long time,
and it was impossible to sec the Pres
ident that afternoon. .Thesc things
don't look WELL said the indignant
Republican, "bnt / guess We can't
help it; these Southern fellows have
got Hayes, body and brooches This
is only one instance Of many that
might be given to show the Presi-
dents new born partiality for the
erring brethren OF the south. It is 8

lRunning too Much to Top.
(Iowa Normal Monthly.)

There is no use trying to disguise
the fact that there is growing feel
ing, in various parts Of the land, that
our schools are not what they might
be nor what they ought to be. These
complaints do not often find their
way into the public journals but they
are heard in the shops, in the stores,
and in the offices of professional and
business men. These ominous NUT
terings occasionally take moro dcfin-
ite form. Thus at recent education
al meeting in Boston, Mr.. Charles
Francis Adams, Jr., is reported to
have said among other things: "Thc
education at the present day is poor
article purchased Al high price,"
To us it seems that the trouble is
that our schools are too top-heary =
The village with scarcely population
enough to support good grammar
school, is ambitious to assume city
airs, and whether they have scholars
fit for high school work or not, such
q school must be started. The result
is that boys who ought to be study
ing arithmetic are put into algebra,
and that those who are innocent of
the spelling-book take up the study
Of Latin and rhetoric. In the larger
cities this difficulty is avoided by hav-
ing q regular prescribed course of
study through which pupils must
pass to reach the high school.
But in these high schools 1t is not
at all uncommon to find half the time,
and half the expense of the school de-
voted to five or six scholars in the
last two years of the course. ltisour
opinion that no class in any high
school should be sustained for any
less than three pupils. 1t is giving
instruction in branches that only one
or two scholars wish TO take, that
makes our high schools 30 expensive
and therefore SO unpopular with cer-
tain classes. We have heard of cases
where more tuition was paid for two
or three pupils, than it would have
cost the district to send them of to q
first class college and pay their tut.

Plevna, was the designer of the ia
nous parallel lines of breastworks at
Sabastopol, the formidable character
of which may be judged from the
fact that the Russians in 1854 sue
cessfully defied the combined armies
and fleets of. England, France and
Turkey for many months. The
construction of these works gave

onii to none in Europe. His advent
upon the scene in Bulgaria may be
regarded as the substitution Of gen.
alship for imbecility, and vigor for
inactivity.
