CENTRAL FEMALE COLLEGE.

We take pleasure in calling the atten-
ton of our readers to the above inStltu-
ton, located at Lexington. Mo. The
school is beautifully situated in the Old
Masonic building. rendered historic py
the battle which took place around its
walls in 1861. where it has high, COM
manding and healty location. The
president. the pupils, and in fact all per-
sons connected with the school, have
taken pride in improving the appear
ance of their surroundings until the CAM
pus is one of the prettlest and most at
tractlve in the state. The best OF care
Is taken OF the physical condition of
the pupils indoors. so that at no edr'-
cational establishment in the country
can be found healthier or more pleas
ant quarters for young ladies'.
The school was founded in 1869. and
sustains official relations to the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church. South,in Missou-
| ri. AS its name indicates, the design ul
the church is to make it the central. or
leading institution for the education ol
its daughters in the state.
| The curriculum of the college is conf
prehensive At present it confcrs two
degrees, VIZ: Mistress of Literature
and Mistress OF Arts. To secure the
former the pupil must take a thorough
and extended course in the English Ian
guage, in literature, in ethics, in the
natural sciences and in mathematics rs
TAR as and including trigonometry. Tc
secure the latter she must add to the
former complete course in mathe
matics, in Latin and Greek, and n
least one modern language. Certiti
Gates OF graduation in any school ol
department of the collegiate course are
given whenever the pupils can pass sat,
isfactory examination in the studies o
that particular school. Monthly writ
ten examinations OF all the classes are
had. and reports are sent to the parents
and guardians, that the standing ant
progress of the pupils may be known a
all times The system of discipline. ant
the social regime. are such as to secure
rigid application to study. happiness II
domestic life, and the highest order o
social culture and refinement.
The faculty is an exceptionally able
one, consisting as it does of competen
persons whose lite work is in the schoo
room. They are: Rev. Marshall Nell
hany. president. professor of ethics ant
ancient languages Miss V. Alice Cottey
teacher OF mathematics and French
Miss Belle l.. Greene, teacher of natura
science; Miss .Joella Morris. teacher o
English and Literature; Henry Kramer
Esq. teacher OF German; j. F. Atkin
son, NJ. D.. teacher of physiology ant
hygiene; Miss E. Medora Cottey. NJ
L., principal of preparatory depart
ment: Miss Ssllle Lee Sloan, teacher
OF vocal and instrumental music; Mrs

music; Miss b. l.. Greene. teacher o
painting drawing and ornamental work
Mrs. l.. T. McIlhany is governess, ant
Mrs. E. G. Saunders, matron. Will
such corps good results may safely
be expected.

day, September I'd. 1878. and we cheer
fully commend. the school to all wh'
may contemplate sending their daughter

GODS ANVIL.

The following poem, from the German, wa
irst published at the request of several person
Who heard it read nj the conclusion of one OF tn
Boston Theatrr lectures:
Pains furnace heat within me quivcrs,
Gods breath upon the flames doth blow
And all my heart in anguish Shivers,
And trrmbes at the fiery glow;
And yet whisper, AS God will
And in his hottest fire hold still.
He comes and iays my heart all heated,
Dn the hard anvil, minded so
Into his own fu!r shape to beat II
With hi, great hammer, blow on blow.
And yet whisper, AS God will
And at his heaviest blows hold still.
He takes my softenrd heart and beats 1t,
The sparks ily oil at every blow;
lie turns il u'er ami o'er and beats 1t,
And lets II cool and makes II glow;
And yet whisper. A. God will :
And il his mighty hand hold still.
Why should / murm.r for the sorrow
Thus only longer lived would be:
It's end may come, and Will, tomorrow,
When God has done his work In ma;
50 | say, trusting, As God Will
And, trusting to the end, hold still
He kindles for my profit purely
Ailiction's glowing iieIy brand,
And all his heaviest blows are surely
Inflicted by master hnnd;
So say, praying. As God will
And hope III HIM, and suuer still.

Mr.. John Holland, editor Of the above
work, informs us that in consequence OF
meeting with gratifying patronage thus
far and in order that we may have q
directory full, complete and useful, both
to citizens and strangers, the Holland
Publishing Company have decided to IN
sert a neatly engraved map of Rock Is
land and Moline 10 each book. Besides
this, the forthcoming work will contain
may valuable and interesting additions
among them the names of the city officers
from the incorporation Of Rock Island IN
l849 to the present time. With these
additions and others to their previous COM
prehensive reference books. the third
volume from the Holland Publishing Com
pany will have an increased value to the
two cities and no doubt will be very ex'
tensively subscribed for, as they will be
sold at the nominal price of three dollars
per copy. The work is an important one
and as it is in competent and responsible
hands it should be literally sustained
fol. directories like newspapers are valuable
representatives of the cities for which the.
are issued.

By the above caption we do not mean
frightfull accident, but simply romantic
wedding which occurred Wednesday, The
parties were Charles E. Hodgson and Miss
Lille A. Clark, of this city. They con-
cluded that it would be such a pleasant
trip to go to Geneseo and get married
quietly, as it were, d-well-they did it.
The bride is one of Rock Islands most
estimable young ladies, aud the groom a
young insurance agent of this city. Rev
Mr.. Stodl, of the Presbyterian church
performed the ceremony that made the
couple man and wife. Of course there
was some surprise and congratulations
etc, but then "Alls we'll that ends well' -

Why SUBMIT TO THE DISCOMFORT, and
humiliation entailed by local disease of
the skin. when GLENN's SULPHER Soar
will rid you of it with certainty and de-
spatch 1t is remedy which never fails
to relieve cutaneous disease, and, as a
means of banishing defects of the COM
plexion. it is equally reliable. The bene-
fits arising from the use of Sulphur Baths,
IN cases Of skin disease, and of rheuma-
tlsm and govt, are well known, but the
cost Is too heavy to be incurred by many
persons who would otherwise take advan-
tage OF them. GLENN's SULPHER Soar
answers the same purpose. and is both
inexpensive and convenient. No one
need stir abroad in search of a sulphur
bath who has this admirable means Of
providing one in doors. 1t is incomp arably
the deodorizer and disinfectant of clothing
and bed linen in use, and prevents diseases
OF an obnoxious nature caused byeontact. So
res, ulcers. bruises. scalds cuts and sprains
arepromtly remedied by it; aud its cleanly,
healing and soothing properties constitute
it far more desirable remedy for scorbutic
ailments than ointments of any description,
since such greasy compounds soil the
clothing, often aggravate, and very rarely
indeed do any permanent good.

D. n. Richardson who spent last sum

learned more in the time he was there than
anyone else could in double the time, gives
the following advice to those who intend to
visit the Paris Exposition:
Leave all your best clothes at home
they will be useless to you. Take plenty OF
warm, rough clothing to wear on the
steamship. Your watch, starched linen,
and fine hat had better remain packed.
Upon landing, go to some inland English
town-say Manchester, Exeter, or Noting
ham-and arrange TO stay week or so,
during which time get travelling sui"

State CONVENTION.

Reports from all parts of the state seem
to warrant the belief that the. five hundred
and forty-fve delegates appointed to rep
resent the various counties in the demo
cratic state convention at Springfield, on
the 1lth, will be present, almost without
exception. There will also be large at
tendance of able men from the state who
are not delegates. These are indications
that of belief that the ticket to be NOM
mated will be .free from any eDtaDgline
alliances with third party, and that il
will be elected. The able men who were
prominent in the management of third
party in 1876. have all withdrawn from
that party and come ont strongly for q
straight democratic ticket. The delegates
from this county will leave to morrow
morning, and will cast their votes in the
convention for none other than straight
ticket.
