The German Press.

The Worddentsche Zeitung, OF Berlin,
hitherto pro- Russian, treats Russia and
Austria sharply for not concerning an
agreement about peace while war con-
tinued. 1t says: Though the powers
are agreed in principle, Russia has fet-
tered herself by the treaty of San
Stefano instead of informing herself
beforehand of the various views which
would be taken of the questions raised
by it, while England and Austria
have rendered the position still more
difficult by now putting Tor
ward solemn international protests
instead of formulating their conditions
and reservations before the fall of PieV-
na. Nevertheless, the NOrddeutschG Zsl-
t,lng hopes that in view of the general
desire tor peace, an understanding will
yet be reached This article caused q
sudden cessation of warlike utterances by
the Austrian semi official press
The Ministerial MontGgs Revus states
that the hope OF peaceful settlement
was justified by the fact that Bismarck is
exerting himself to prevent European
conflict. Several unofficial Vienna news.
papers express the opinion that this Is IN
attempt to make Austria participate in
the mistake OF San Stetsno, and indicates
Bismsrck's desire to bully Austria into q
settlement with Russia The language
of the journals Is very bitter against the
German Chancellor.

Teaehers' Associat,on

The Lyon County Teachers Asso-
citation met at the stone school house,
in EmPoria, February 8, 1878. A quo
rem being present, the regular pro-
gramme was taken up.
Entomology was first presented. The
teacher gave notes touching upon the
four grand divisions of animals with
their different developments in the egg,
and the metamorphosis of insects. He
also presented an outline representing
the name of all the parts of an insect.
School management was next taken
up for discussion. The teacher desired
the members present to make an out
line for themselves. And after ap-
pointing one of their number to write
the board, he left the subject for gen.
eral discussion. Owing to limited
time the outline was given to the
teachers as lesson for the next time.
On motion the association adjourned
to meet at the stone school house
March o, 1873. The teachers examin-
alton on Feb. %, and the school Off
GERS convention, March 2, compelled
the association to postpone their meet
ing until that time. Few teachers at
tended on account of the stormy
weather, but those present were amply
repaid for their trouble. A general
desire was expressed for a larger at
tendance at the next meeting.

A Probable IDI.appoIntment.

We have suggested that the remone-
tization of silver will disappoint a
great many people who imagine that
such measure will cause a speedy
revival of business or make il much
easier for them to pay debts than now,
and we notice in the Congressional
Record of JAM, &c, that just at the
close OF the prolonged debate in the u.
s. Senate on the Preamble and Reso-
luton Constituting the laws as applied
to the payment of our Government
bonds in silver submitted by Senator
Matthews of Ohio for the concurrent
action OF both Houses of Congress,
Senator John B. Gordon of Georgia
made 4 few brief remarks which are
worthy of special considerations las they
clearly state this point. He said:
Mr.. Gordon. Mr.. President, do not
wish to make speech. l may do so
when the silver bill is before the SEN
ate. l rise now simply to say that l
shall vote for the preamble and reso-
luton of the Senator from Ohio, be-
cause | believe that they recite facts
which are true. legal propositions
which cannot be successfully contIo-
verted, and suggest policy which is
both honest, wise, and just. ] will not,
however, go into the discussion now.
Perhaps ! may be pardoned by the
friends of the silver bill for making one
suggestion before 1 take my seat. It
is made in the Interest of the measure
itself.
fear, and seriously fear, that the
people are being led to expect too
much from the reconciliation of sill
yer. l would caution its friends
against making promises or exciting
expectations which cannot be realized.
If the bill becomes a law, it cannot
and will not bring to the country the
relief which is so anxiously sought,
and wish TO place myself on record
with that prediction. / wish 20 warn
che country that large expectations
built upon this measure are doomed to
disappointment.
The evils from which this country
suffers are due to a long series of en-
aetments and blame-Worthy policies.
OF which this decentralization of silver
was but part. It is, however, one of
the wrongs imposed upo n the people,
and Ought to pc righted by reestablish-
| ing silver as money. Besides this acS
of justice the country viii realize incl

icy of contraction which / hone TO
show not from mere theories, not
from the dictG Of doetraaaires but from

evil and agent In the destruction Of our
prosperity.

LIFE INSURANCE.
The Oldest, Richest and Safest Com
Dany in the World.

The Oldest, Richest and Safest Com
Pany in the World
The Mutual Life Insurance Company,
OF New York, is the oldest in this coun-
try, being thirty-fiVe years of age, and is
claimed to be a richer financial institu-
ton than the renowned Bank Of Eng
land. Its available assets now reach the
enormous sum of SS5, OOO,0OO and its in
come from rents and from interest alone
equals all its losses by the death Of poll
cy holders, SO that from its Immense pre-
MUM receipts it can declare very large
yearly dividends to its policy holders,
and yet increase its assets at the rate OF
S5,0O0,000 per year. Gigantic as this in
sutution is, 1t was never in q safer condi-
ton, or more successfully and honestly
managed, than at present. Its annual
statement for 1877, which appears in our
new advertisement columns to-day, is Of
great interest to every intelligent reader,
and will be found to confirm all the state
ments made in regard to its immense f.
naneial operations. It's balance sheet, as
the advertisement shows, exhibits clearly
in what shape its SS5 100000 assets are,
and the report of the insurance commits
sioner of New York fully confirms the
value of each form of investment. The
Mutual Lie is not stock company. 1t
is controlled by its own policy holders,
who annually select board of SO trus-
tees to manage the affairs of the compa-
ny, and this board elects and superVises
the work of the president and other Off
GERS. The expenses of carrying on the
business of the company are smaller in
proportion to the amount of business
transacted than the expenses of any 9TH
er life insurance company, and The diVI-
dends to policy holders are not myths,
but substantial realities. They aggrega-
ted last year the net sum OF 81, SOC, 900,
and yet after paying all losses and expen-
SEES and diseOunting many endowments
in advance, the company added over
$5,0O00O0 to its assets. For absolute safe
ty and reliability, no human institution
or guarantee can surpass that OF the life
insurance policies issued by the Mutual
Life of New York. This is demonstrable
beyond a question, and the statement IS
not disputed by any financial authority.
Its large and certain dividends so rapidly
reduce the premiums as to form a very
cheap life Instruments cheap as certain
insurance can probably ever become.
We advise all our readers who may de-
sire to insure their lives in the best life
insurance company Ill exist ence, to con-
suit with Mr.. A. n. Hanna, its accom-
modating agent at Emporia, in regard to
the Mutual Life, of New York.

Tho New StyIos.


Especial attention IS paid at Miss
Plumb's book store to wall paper, Dor.
ders, window curtains, and picture
frames. We had the pleasure yesterday
Of looking over several hundred new pat
terrs Of wall paper just received for the
season of 1873, snd we had not before
seen SO many choice and beautiful de-
signes Of the same grades and prices.
The wall paper that is nov offered there
for only ten cents per roll, is equally
handsome and durable as that which
sold last year for 10 cents, and is fully
good enough, not only in design and COL
oring, but in texture OF the paper, for
most any body's bed room, dining room
or kitchen. The rolls at 131< and 10 cts.
each are propOrtionally good, and 25 cts,
prOcures satin finish and IS cts. fine gilt
finish rolls. The designs and colors this
season are either unusually good, or else
rare lasts and judgment have been exer-
cised In the selections, there being hard
ly = pa tern which we would not say
was very neat and appropriate, and the
plain tints being exquisitely fine. We
assure our readers that they will find at
Miss Plumb's bookstore the best assort-
ment OF goods in the lines we speak Of,
that it has ever exhibited, aud they are
so arranged that they can be shown with
out any trouble and the customer can
make . deliberate and careful selection.

rHE NAnRoH GAUGE.

Work has stopped on the Narrow
Gauge temporarily, because OF the wealth
er. Had the company possessed ten mil
lions OF dollars work could not have been
executed In such weather as we have had
stuck TO 1t as long as there was any show
to put in two or three days . week.
Major Fuller assures US that active
work will be resumed by the 10th Of next
month at the farthest, and pushed with
Vigor.
From 10000 to $50 600 have already
been spent ia this enterprise, prompt pay
ment being its rule, and 1t Is not at all
probable that this movement lie to lie idle,
when there is every reason and induce
ment TO push on to Eureka. at the earli-
est moment. The road has had no great
er delays than every one which has
been built in this section. In fact work
was not 70 be commenced, according to
the Lyon county proposition, and also
that Of Greenwood, until the bonds along
the route to the South line OF the State al
the rate OF $4,000 per mile were in es-
crow. and yet we lind that nine miles are
graded; that large lot OF ties are on
hand, and that the Cottonwood bridge is
far toward completion. More would
have been done but for the failure Of the
contractor, who only lately gave up his
contract.
1t is now probable that the daily mail
route from here to Eureka will not be
let, rs usual, the government reserVing
that work for the Narrow Gauge, which
1t has Ascertained, to its satisfaction, Will
be running trains to Eureka by the 1st Of
July, the date at which the new period
Of mail service Will go into effect. So far
as there being anything to complain
about at the progress of this enterprise,
we think, under all the circumstances, it
has made good progress, and Its early
completion is very promising.
We shall be disappointed If there are
not some two hundred teams and men
throwing dirt at lively rate by thus time
next month. Nothing but impossible
difficulties will prevent it.
