THE LIBRARY.
The appropriation of $1,000 for
library and apparatus, made by the
last Legislature, Was judiciously ex-
pended, and the books thus furnished
have been of the greatest service. Ii
is very desirable that there should be
sone means provided by which ad,

Why should not the Legislature ap-
propriate the entrance fee paid by
students to this purpose? This is the
arrangement now at the University,
aud it seems to work well.

cannot close this report without
bearing testimony to the industry.
skill, fidelity, and earnestness with
which my assistants have carried on
their work during the past year. The
school has been extremely fortunate
in this regard.
If this school shall continue to re-
ceive the fair and generous support
which 1t has hitherto received, ali if
at the same time it be kept in the line
OF honest, practical work in which it
is DOW moving, its future is assured
and it will continue to be fountain
of knowledge and inspiration to many
hundreds of teachers for years 10 come
Our common schools already feel its
influence. May that influence con-
tinue to broaden and deepen into the
distant future.

WHERE OUR PUPILS COME FROM.
AS is common in all schools, a con.
siderable number of our pupils come
from the neighborhood of the school.
About one-fourth, or fifty-seven of our
pupils have their residence at Peru
but find by careful inquiry that
twenty-seven of these moved to Peru
in order to attend the school, and will
move away again as soon as they
have finished attendance on it. This
fall term, but twelve students are in
attendance from any other state than
Nebraska. Our students are drawn
from a wider range than formerly,
representing twenty-seven counties.
Though it would be entirely Just to
charge students from other states tut
tion, yet since the number Is so small
as not to increase appreciably the cost
of carrying on the school, it might
seem small business to do so.
AGE OF OUR STUDENTS.
There is current misapprehension
in regard to the age of students at
tending the Normal School. AS We

Buried Cities in Asia.

An expedition to explore the buried
cities of Central Asia is talked of in
Bombay and elsewhere in India, That
treasures like those at Mycens may be
found in the sands of Mongolia is at
least possible. If tradition be of any
value-a tradition too, which has per-
sistently chung to one locality through
the lapse of centuries-the tomb of
Ghengiz Khan is yet, with its fabulous
~ rich treasures, to be found Gas Col.
Prejevalsky was told by the Mongols)
to the South of Lake Tabasun- Nor.
Your readers may remember the quaint
legend about the last resting place of
the great Khan. Within the tomb lies
a man who seems asleep. Every even
ing q sheep or horse is tied near to
the spot, and 10! in the morning the
animals have been eaten. In 800 years,
say the Mongols,t the sleeper will awake
and lead countless hosts of his children
to victory and dominion. The old sto-
ry is said to be circulating more and
more widely every year. Then the
Mongols say that constantly the drift
ing sands disclose, here and there, gold
and silver treasures, which they have a
superstitious dread of touching. The
buried cities under the sands of the
Cobb are affirmed to be mines of incalcu-
liable wealth, guarded by gnomes and
fearful spells, while all the deserts
around the hidden ruins are peopled by
myriads of bowling ghost. DIR. Bellew
established the fact some time since
that we shall probably have several of
these buried cities revealed shortly, in
a similarly natural manner to that in
which they were primarily concealed
from the sight of man. The sands of
the deserts of Central Asia regularly
move and drift from east to west, and
even now the eastern borders of the
deserts are being denuded widely of all
soil that can be torn away and borne
westward by the violent winds that rage
with incredible fury many months Of

Kidd's Buried Booty.

The excitement concerning the gold
digging in Coffin Island, New Jersey,
is greater than ever. The association
for that purpose has been strengthened
BY the addition of several names,
among whom is w. Fl. Hutchinson, of
Philadelphia, a gentleman largely in
terested in the prosperity OF Ocean
Beach. The principal excavations
have been made n the western side of
the island, but since then smaller pit
in the precise shape of a grave has
been discovered in the center of the
plot. By whom this was dug, can not
be determined. Mr.. R. P. Miller, the
signal officer, who keeps strict ser
veillance over the property, admits that
he fired upon a man whom he discoy-
cred clandestinely digging some nights
ago, and he simply states that he "dis-
appeared" and will probably never be
heard of again.
The cargo of the Norwegian ship
Rjuken, wrecked some weeks ago on
this coast, was purchased by James L.
Alger, President of the association, who
thus came into possession of two brass
cannon, one of which has been present
ed to the company, with the under
standing that if it becomes necessary it
shall be used to rake the island from
end to end. This fact is made known
for the benefit of those who are con-
templating raid upon the sacred soil.
One of the most earnest men on the
ground is Samuel Carhart, Surveyor
General. He has associated with him
H. H. Yard, the civil engineer, who laid
out Ocean Beach. Mr.. Carhart says
that while surveying near the mouth of
Shark River some days ago, he ap-
preached protuberance, said to be the
remains of pine tree fully 200 years
old. A sudden dipping of the needle
arrested his attention, and upon bring
ing it to the stump the instrument point
ed directly downward toward the earth
Surprising that powerful magnet must
be lying beneath the sod, he was about
to dig for it, when his companion
caught his arm and whispered:
"Don't you know this is one of the
places where Captain Kidd buried his
money!"
The surveyor complied with the earn
est request, though, as may be sup
posed, the information was calculated
to make him do otherwise. Inquiry led
to the discovery that his companion had
repeated tradition a century old.
Within radius of one hundred yards
more than fifty holes had been dug
during the recollection of the Oldest res
idents. Mr.. Carhart deemed that this
stump, with the land Immediately sur
rounding it, should be considered part
of the property of the association, and
he is carefully guarding it against dis
turbance. A popularity attaching to
this particular spot is that search shall
be made at midnight, in the full of the
moon, and the 9th of March was fixed
upon for careful and thorough explor-
alton of what may be called the new
vein. Until then it will be useless for
any intruders to venture near the spot

A SOmnambuliStic Feat.

A colored man living in Fayetteville,
who is a somnambulist, was on his way
home from this city, few days ago, on
Fayetteville boat, and had dropped to
sleep, when he suddenly sprang to his
feet, gathered up his bundles, contain
ing purchases he had made in this city,
and walked deliberately overheard.
The night being dark, and the boat
moving forward rapidly, nothing more
was seen of the man, and it became the
conviction among those on board that
he was drowned. Great was their as
constituent, therefore, upon approach
ing the landing at Fayetteville, some
hours afterward, to find the supposed
drowned man standing on the wharf,
smilingly awaiting the arrival OF the
boat. 1t appears that upon touching
the water he was aroused from his
slumbers, and, taking the situation in
an instant, struck out manfully for the
shore, which he succeeded in reaching
without the loss of bundle. There he
waited for short time, when another
steamer came along, which he hailed.
He was taken on board, and during a
detention of the first steamer arrived at
Fayetteville first. Wilmington (N. CO.

True POliteness.

A poor Arab going through the des.

from this sweet we'll in the desert seem
ed, in his simple mind, a present to the
Caliph. So he filled the leather bottle,
and, after weary tramp, laid his hum.
BILE gift at his sovereign's feet. The
monarch, with q magnanimity that may
put many Christian to blush, called
for a cup and drank freely; and then
with smile thanked the Arab, and
presented him with a reward. The
courtiers pressed eagerly around for a
draught of the wonderful water, which
was regarded as worthy such prince.

the Caliph forbade them to touch 8
drop. Then, after the simple-hearted
giver left the royal presence, with 8
new spring of joy yelling up in bis
heart, the monarch explained his mo-
tive of prohibition. "During the long
journey the water in his leather bottle
had become impure, distasteful; but It
was an offering of love, and as such !
accepted it with pleasure. ! feared,
however, that if / allowed another to

In a Street.Car.

The elusiveness of a cent when it gets
into the straw of horse-car is won-
derful to behold. You see the very spot
where the coin strikes, but when your
hand reaches the place there's no cent
there. And the more that straw is poked
about, be it with the tenderness OF love
or the spitefulness of anger, the more
the little joker keeps out of sight. 1t
isn't a very heightened pursuit to be
thus chasing festive bit OF copper
alleged at that-through the labyrinth
of straw, and feet, and market baskets,
and miscellaneous bundles, which the
floor OF a street-car ordinarily presents,
but one can hardly take trip of any
considerable length without witnessing
just suchua hunt. One of the most dig
nifed passengers on Highland car
had an experience of this kind last eve
ming. The coin glinted as it fell, and a
sort of glow-worm spark seemed to
mark its resting-place. The dig
nifed traveller was evidently no novice
as to the deceitfulness of these
little jipglers, for he approached that
cent with the cautious, STOPPING motion

from q thistle blow. He made the
clutch with smile of satisfaction which
was meant to reprove the incredulity of
his fellow-passengers, but handful of
dirty straw was his only reward. Then
he parted the litter and cluJched again
as he saw the little disc diving into
mysterious depths, but the unsaintlike
expression of his face showed further
lack of success. Then he just "went
for" that bedding, and the more the
passengers tried to keep from laughing
the madden he got; and he shook, and
coaxed, and stamped, and bullied the
straw, but the cent rather seemed to
like it and kept safe distance. Then
the man made shovel-plow of his
hands and furrowed the very flooring /;
then he took to rat-terrier tactics and
tried TO worry that penny into COM
promise, but it was eight to seven
against him all the time. At this juno
ture glance from the window showed
him that he had been carried seven
blocks by his stopping-pl and his
remarks as he got out on the muddy
crossing were hardly fitted for the
neighborhood of the Tabernacle. -Bos-

she could not learn. Her husband was
notified, and together and singly they
searched for the children, but to no
purpose. The mother was hopeful that
a marriage ceremony had not been per-
formed, and that the runaways would
be caught before there could be. She
was anxious to know whether mar
rage under such circumstances would
be legally binding, and when informed
that it would be, and that nothing short
of legal process would sever the knot,
she gave way to sobs and groans, to
stife which she found impossible for
some moments. She did not seem to
think that the runaways had been mar
ried quietly before the family rupture,
and her greatest fear appeared to be
that her daughter might be removed
before she could see her to Alaska,
Kamschatka or some other frigid re-
gion, never to be permitted to return
again. At last accounts the fugltlves
were still at large. Globe Democrat.

A SACRAMENTAN who had heard and
read great deal about the blue-glass
cure, concluded that he would try it for
his rheumatism. He accordingly pro-
cured half a dozen panes, inserted them
in the window of his bathroom, and
took sun-bath," according to the
prescribed formula, for three successive
days. His wife had been away from
home, and when she returned she was
delighted to hear that the new cure had
done her husband wondrous amount
of good. He was eager to have her see
the new window, and she felt consid-
cradle curiosity on the subject herself,
but on entering the bathroom she burst
into fit of laughter, which was ex-
planned q moment later by her ejacula-
ton: "That's your mazarine blue
glass! Why, goosey, that isn't blue;
that's green!" He doesn't feel so well
now.
