Outliyed Its Day.

The Winimac Republican groans,
and wants to know what good the
grand jury does that county? The
same question is asked all over the
state, and there Is growing dislike
to this star chamber system OF
making Investigations. 1t seems as
il the grand jury has been reduced
to a means OF covering up some mis-
demeanors. At any rate the age
which demanded that investigation
OF criminal acts should be secret, has
passed, and anything Of that kind
which will not bear the light OF day
is not to be considered. The grand
jury forms an elegant body In which
men of no principle can appear and
testifying without a cross examina-
ton they put innocent parties to
great trouble by false charges which
result in false prosecution. The
only reason for the existence OF a
grand jury at any time was because,
in the earlier days of lawlessness. il
an individual brought prosecution
in open court and appeared as the
relator, he was in great danger OF
personal violence at the hands of the
criminal or his friends. But he
might appear before the grand jury
and the prosecution go on in the
name of the commonwealth, which
had the appearance Of compelling
him to appear as a witness. Ii he
appeared at the command OF the

Without a Paper.

Nothing presents a sadder COM
mentary upon the present condition
OF society than the large number Of
families, both in town and country,
but more especially in the latter, that
subscribe to no paper OF any kind.
Hundreds and thousands of families
are thus growing up utterly ignoran
Of what is transpiring in the world
around them-ignorant of the mighty
events OF the day. But who can tell
the vast amount OF injury that is be-
ing inflicted on the rising generation
those who are to take our place in
the busy world at no distant day
growing up without any knowledge
OF the present, or any study OF the
past, this ignorance, too being imbued
into them by the sanction OF those
who should, and probably do know
better, did they only think of the in
furious effect Of their insane course.
Led the head Of every family think
OF this, and place in the hands OIL
those for whom he is responsible the
means Of acquiring some knowledge
Of the moving panorama in which we
act our parts.

How to Teach Children.

To the Editor of the Republican.
Workingmen have their unions, wo-
man her conventions. representatives of
the various trades ana arts their specified
and acknowledged modes of procuring u
redress of real or imaginary grievances !;
but that large and omnipresent class
the children-is left TO fight its battles
alone. Few would care to labor in any
cause in which their success would be
measured and determined by tn amount
of obloquy heaped upon them; and such
is the reward of him who labors for any
reformation in the management of child
dren. On the Teacher very naturally
devolves the duty of working out O
reformation in the management Of this
injured and helpless class. He may moi
invade the sacred home circle, but in the
schoolroom where he Is in loco pdrentis
he can accomplish much in this direct ion
1t must be patent to all that there are two
separate and distinct systems by which
we train up children in the way they
should Tor possibly the way they should
mott 60. One system presupposes that
the natural inclination of child is evil,
and only evil, and that continually; that
the most necessary thing Is that nature b
crushed, that he must be remodeled, that
he must be quiet, ask no questions, laugh
in a whisper, and be regular in his At
tendance at church etc.. The other pre-
supposes that the child's nature should
be studied-studied carefully, that the
Creator has made no mistake, and that
whatsoever is wrong, is so as = result OF
improper training and is not innate.
True, there are notifications of these
systems, but they are the foundations on
which all systems are built. One of the
most absurd theories extant, is that q
child on entering school can and must
study. The writer hereof once received q
severe rebuke from the "authorities" be.
cause his pupils who were just trying to
master the alphabet were not more atten-
tive to their studies; and when the
authorities" were informed, in mild
manner, that those pupils could not
"study their lessons" and that such a
proposition was sublimely ridiculous,
they showed symptoms of genuine aston.
ishment. Gentle reader, how old were
you before you could study? How many
hours can you study consccutively today ,
1t is said that Napoleon could study
three hours without intermission; if 50
he was probably the only man of his
time that could do so. Walter Scott Q
man of great mental power only labored
with his pen five hours of the twenty.
four; and When, to relieve himself from
pecuniary embarrassment, he exceeded
that time, his death was the result.
With these facts before us what shall
we say of that teacher who requires his
pupils of eight, ten or twelve years tc
study" the greater portion of the day
Children do not study in reality, they

A Morton monument association
has been organized with Gen. Lew
Wallace as president, and Gen. Reub
Williams vice president from this dis
trict. As much as we admire the
career OF Senator Morton we do not
see that monument to his memory
Is at all necessary. History has ac-
corded him a place more enduring
than granite, and it Is nothing but a
species Of mockery at best to erect a
monument to be defaced by time.
The monument idea il fast falling in
to decay, for people have begun to
fairly realize that a mans deeds do
live after him and that no obelisk can
do more than to remind the person
who sees It Of its own magnificence.

A fact Of decided significance as to
the status of women Is the establish
ment by that conservative of all
bodies, the Episcopal Church, Of the
order of Deaconesses. or sisters. An
important qualification is that all ap-
plicants for admittance to the order
must be % years of age, the only
drawback being that very few Of the
sisters will admit they are % years
Of age, even for the sake Of being a

OF .,ortunity to charge the prosecu-
lon to him. Hence many conflicts
and much violence was prevented in
the early settlements. But the time
has now come when the arm of the
law is fairly able to protect any citi-
zen, and with other relics OF unciv-
ilized days, the grand jury should be
laid aside. So soon as we are rid OF

we be off; financially and in every

we must pick or destroy all our fallen
and wormy fruit. and perhaps thin out
the inferior portion from choice trees,
we shall do we'll to concentrate our
labors on as small territory as posi-
Bile. II will not pay to thin apples for

apples specially for the cider mill TO
be successful now, one should cultivate
only superior varieties, should feed his
trees well. should destroy all windfalls,
and grow only such frnit as will find
market at fair price. There are none
too many good apples grown in New
England, but they do not come at the
right time. We get surplus one year
and none the next, whereas we should
have a uniform supply every year.
Then the prices would be more uniform,
and the consumption increased. There
are thousands of old trees going to de-
cay, thousands of others which produce
only worthless fruit, and still others
which bear so few that their room
should be worth more than their pres
ence. We have dug up considerable
number of trees within the past few
years, most of which were grown from
the seeds under our special care, but
which, unfortunately, were set in I'M
favorable situations, or were grated to
inferior or undesirable varieties. 1t
seems little cruel to destroy healthy
Greening, Baldwin, or Porter tree be-
fore it has produced three full crops,
but it may be the part of wisdom for all
that. One farmer cannot do every
thing, nor do all kinds of work well,
nor is it supposable that he should
never make mistakses. We set too
MANY Portcrs, and too many varieties
of other early apples, and we put good
kinds upon unsuitable soils and in un-
favorable situations. Some have been
re-grafted, where the location is favor
able, and some are retained because of
their superior excellence for home use.
Farmers, above all others, should aim
for n full supply offruit for home con-
sumption, and should use it freely, but
it does not follow that every one should
grow apples for market, if he can pro-
duco other crops more advantageously
