Teachers Wages.

Editor Register:
While looking over your paper Of

tracted by an article from Little Six.
teen,
Your correspondent after noting
the agricultural prospects of the
country, criticises the wages ofschool
Teachers. He says he thinks they
get "a plenty" Teachers are oblig.
ed to take what the Boards of Educa'
ton see cause to give them, and as
for getting such "a plenty" do not
think they get any more than they
Justly deserve. He says teachers
get So a month too much now" We
contend that teachers do not get a
cent too much, and often times dc
not get as much as they really should
The person who contcmplates teach
ing, is at large expense preparing
himself for the arduous duties of the
school room, and sometimes when
their wages are due, they are com,
PEELED to wait three or four months,
before they can get them. We dc
not propose to go into the technicali'
ties of the subject as it would con
sumo too much of your valuable
space, but would just say if the Free
School system was in the grasp oil
such men as your correspondent
there would soon be no need of school
teachers. Young man, be careful
for your creek is not very deep, and
| can't see for my life, how such a

European Matters.

LONDON, March pa special from
st. Petersburg says: "Rumors are in
circulation that Russia has demand
ed that the British feet quit the Sea
of Marmora Immediately"
The correspondent has reason 10
believe these reports, although exag-
gerated, are not entirely unfounded,
and that Russia is making, or about
to make, representations In regard to
the British fleet. Minister Layard's
opposition in regard to the embarka'
ton of Russian troops at Buyukdere
has caused great irritation.
An inspired article in the Journal
de st. Petersburg attracts much at
tention. l. points to the continuance
of the feet in the Sea of Marmora in
defiance Of National law, and asks il
it is not time to ask England what
she really wants. Europe should
call England before her Judgment
seat, and summon her to re- enter the
sphere ofinternational law by quit
ting the Straits, and formally engag-
ing not to-feturn."
Semi.oficial hints are given that
| if England does not wish to attend
the Congress it will meet without
her,
A Paris correspondent says: "Rus.
STA has forced Turkey to acquiesce in
secret agreement, according which
Russia would assist Turkey against
GreGoEnglish combination, or
against the entry of the British fleet
to the Bosphorus or Dardanelles,
largely diminish the indemnity, and
guarantee the integrity. of the re-
maining Turkish territory, receiving
in return a directing power over the
revenues Of the Porte"

This town, Rocky Comfort, is the
county seat of Little River county,
and it rests upon a milk.white lime
stone bed more than 500 feet deep,
hence everything is white here, in
fact, the eye of the stranger, unseas-

glare upon the street, at meridian,
the consequence is, it is no use to
shine your boots here, they will be
white in spite of blackness. Here
we found our first "Ticks," (sot them
running through the woods with a
doubIe-barrel shot gun on our shout

oticks" her child before putting it to

she gives to it its supper. The Ar
kansas tick has the faculty of insin-

aud there staying close to you till he
is forcibly withdrawn, when he is
sure to leave bad impression. We
searched this place from Fulton on
the Red River, so miles below here,
by the way of Texarkana, and thence
by the Transcontinental Railroad

little corner of the Indian Territory

ago it was the county seat, alike oil
Miller county, Arkansas, and Bowie
county, Texas. This is certainly
proper namo although general
county seat.
There are many things which
came under my observation which
would interest you gentlemen, in re-
