THE SCALP BOUNTY.

The constant drain upon the State
treasury for the payment of scalp
bounties is much greater than the ay-
erage taxpayer dreams of, and we are
inclined to the belief that it is source
of expenditure which should be great
" checked if not entirely cut off-in
other words, its benefits bear no COM
parison to its cost. The bounty
amounts in the aggregate to thousands
of dollars annually, and goes principal
ly to but comparatively few counties
and those being in the southern por-
ton of the State where civilization is
supposed to have such firm hold as to
be able to protect itself from the ray
ages of wild beasts without the aid of
pecuniary stimulus from the State in
the shape of scalp bounty. We I'M
derstand that the sum of $40O has
been audited in q single day in pay
ment of scalp bounties, while the sum
frequently ranges from $50 to 800 a
day, some claimants annually receiv-
ing from three to six hundred dollars.
An investigation of this scalp bounty
business would, besides being interest
ing, prove paying investment for the
State.

WE wish we were able to give our
readers a clear and comprehensive
idea of the present status of European
affairs, but two columns, more or less,
of dispatches in the dailies do not
seem to throw much light upon the
situation. As near as we can come to
it, however, the ciIcus performance is
about rs follows: On one side of a
fence is the British lion, flashing his
tail furiously and uttering those ter
rife bowls for which lions are noted !;
on the other, a hug e Russian bear, with
grim visage, his enormous claws firm
" imbedded in the emaciated frame of
small specimen of the species homo,
the latter sporting red cap with huge
tassel and clinging as with death
grip to a sadly dilapidated crescent; on
the fence sits the double-headed Aus
trian eagle, squirting towards both
quadrupeds at the same time, and new
er for moment losing sight OF the
manager of the menagerie who sits
quietly and calmly upon campstool,
with a huge pipe in his mouth and a
glass of lager before him, conscious of
the fact that the animals are under
complete control and are performing
only for the benefit of the lookers-on,
without meaning much by their threat
ening looks and savage noises. For
further particulars we refer our
readers to the show-bills signed ''Bis-
marck, Gen. Manager of the Great Eu-
ropean Circus.'

POVERTY OF GREAT MEN.

We are free to confess that we do
not share in the sickly sentimentality
and gushing sympathy expressed by
the average writer for the poverty of
''great men fallen" We were prompt
ed to make this observation by Pc
rusing tales of the poverty to which
General John C. Fremont, General
James Shields and other prominent
military heroes, statesmen, million
aires and politicians have been reduc-
ed. We yield to none in our respect,
or even admiration for the daring and
heroic deeds of military chieftains !;
the lofty sentiments of our great
statesmen the millionaire philan-
thrOpistS whose benevolence and mu-
nifieent requests for worthy purposes
have made them famous the ability
of politicians to properly conduct the
affairs OF offices to which they may
have been elected or appointed to fill.
But please excuse us if we do not be-
come very much exercised over the
tales of poverty and woe related of
men who have year after year, and in
some instances decade after decade,
drawn their regular annual stipend of
from one to five thousand dollars, or
more, from public treasury supplied
by taxpayers, thousands and thous-
ands of whom enjoy no Injuries and
in many instances but the plainest
necessaries of life. Men who have be-
come great in our military and polite
al history as a nation, have been well
paid for their efforts IN behalf of their
Government. Not only have their
emolumentS been greatly in excess OF
their necessities, but they have become
those whom the masses have delight
ed 10 honor, which honor by many is
more highly priced than the pecuniary
returns for their labor; and had these
mea who have been paid by the peo-
pie what, TO many poor man, would
seem like handsome competence, liz.
nored the rules of reckless extraya.
ganGe in their style of living and at
the same time observed even the ele-
meptary principles of prudence and
economy, they would have been beyond
the reach of want, except under very
extraordinary circumstances. The in
dustrious mechanics, toiling farmers
and struggling manufacturers, are not
half as well paid for their services as
their public servants, and their strait
ened circumstances are matter OF
coulse,' but let Il great or wealthy
mar who has squandered what would
be an independent fortune for the az
craze individual become s.hard up K
sesiang phrase, and writers of tender
suseeptibilities make Rome howl
with their imprecations against an I'M
grateful Republic or people. Bah

THE VERY BEST.

We shall expect all the best teach
ers, during the summer term, to OBJ
serve the following practices, admitted,
we believe, by all competent to give
an opinion, to be demanded by the in
terests of pupils
l. 1he pupils sit erect.
2. They have hourly recesses.
3. They do not eat at recess, if
more than 10 years of age.
4. They receive instruction in gen.
eral exercise daily in elementary hy-
giene.
5. They receive instruction and
have practice, at least weekly, in the
art of composing, and expressing ideas
correctly in writing; letter-writing
is probably the best for beginners.
6. The teacher never speaks in an
angry, whining, or scolding tone.
Some times firmly.
7. The pupils will not ask to speak,
to leave a seat or to get drink.
8. The teacher will answer no ques-
tions during recitations from those
not in the class.
8. Pupils will pass out orderly at
recess.
10. Beginners in arithmetic will do
lage part of their work upon states
or the board.
IL. Beginners in geography will have
for their first topic the teachers desk;
it's size, shape, the location of objects
upon it with reference to themselves
and also the desk; for their second
topic the school room, and then the
district, town, county, state, Z. s..
North America, South America, Eu-
rope, etc.
II. All pupils will receive daily in
struction in drawing.
Ii. Reading lessons in all grades
will vary from Il page to 2-3 in ex-
IRENE j. SEES, such as reviews.
Ia. Fac teacher will leave his pro-
grammt, members of each class, the
| degree of advancement. etc., with the
| board to be handed to his successor,
thus saving at least two weeks of the
following term, which would other
wise be wasted in classifying.
Is. At least one fire viii be built In
the morning of rainy days-a moderate
one for hygienic purposes. .
Is. At leastone hour per day, will
be spent by the teacher in reading, for
self Improvement, some standard work
| in some department of science, prefer
ably, or in the field of biography, his
tory, or mental philosophy. Object, TO
keep the mental powers bright
and hence to keep the teacher from
drifting into stagnant imbecility. and
acting in that condition necessarily, as
4 thought-kiIler in school. The read
ING of novels with less than half
dozen exceptions, according to ada
mantine natural laws, will weaken
and ultimately destroy the intellectn-
/ al and esthetic faculties and only
| blighted germs will remain. y.
II. Daily instruction IN botany VIII
be given to all pupils
