worked his way down through the middle
ages " OUT own time. covered with foa,n
snd dust. snd knocking the mrfcennry sol.

great objection 10 tho army seemed 10 be
that II was standing" and that the soldier
obeycd his officers blIndly but these objcc-
tons only seemed " apply To nm srny Of
$4,000 Oh upwards. An army of 10000 or
10000 would not. II would appear, consti.
tute . danger TO our liberties, or bring com.
munism among US 10 that the danger lies
not SO much in the characters as in the size
of the force and 80 delicate ia the relation
between the dimensions of the a,my aud
the security of our liberty that sn increase
or diminution TO the extent of 1900 men
would turn the scale. All the debates, in
SO far as they ran not on the economy but
on the cxpediency of having any army at
all, were purely debating-club exercises.
The question of maintaining q standing
question. We have only. TO ask ourselves
whether this or occasional levies Of militia
is the more efficient and cheaper method of
doing certain administrative work. The old
dread Of a standing army took its rise in the
fact that it was raised without the peoples
consent. and commanded by persons over
whom they had no control, and was so large
that it could strike fatal blows before the
means of resisting it could be organized.
None of these objections would apply to an
army Of $4,000 or even 100000 here, just as
they do not apply TO an army of 10000 in
England. All modern police is a standing
army, and has to be, because the police of
modern society is a work of great delicacy
and magnitude, and whether the policeman
shall be armed with a club andIrevolver or a
rifle bayonet, is a question of DETAIL. So
also whether the national police shall con-
of q constantly organized force of hired
men, or a force OF citizens called away now
and then from their affairs, like the sherif7s
posse, and shall lumber 10000 or $4,000, |
are questions of detail. The assertion that
under our government there Is q great prin-
cpIe involved in them, and that America
Institutions would be put in peril if $4,000
men were scattered in g%arrisons over the
whole continent is a striking illustration Of
the s%oundness of the growing opinion that
have too much congress, and that the
necessity which members find of filling up
The time with some kind of noise disorders
their sense of proportion. and smothers the
plain practical sense which most of them
bring from home.

A HAPPY DAY.

Last night at the residence of Mrs.
d. Il. Clanton, Miss Annie Day and
j. w. Daniel, a promising young
lawyer of this city, were united in the
bonds of wedlock by Elder John A.
Brooks. The wedding was a very
quiet affair, only the nearest friends
of the families being invited. The
happy couple come to Mexico last
night and are going to housekeeping
at ono at the residence of A. B.
Daniel of this city. Among other
valuable presents we no iced the fol
lowing tokens of love:

lasses pitcher, by Miss Effie Daniel :
one pair of silver napkin rings, p. f.

Mr.. md Mrs. A. j Harding, of Chi

HYMENEAL.

Last Tuesday at 1 o'clock, in the
Christian Church of this city Harry
j. Brown of Chicago and Miss Emma
Clark, of this city, were joined in the
holy bonds of matrimony by Elder
Cake. The church was crowded with
the beauty and elite of our city, but
the loveliest of all was the bride
whom we never saw look better in
her life. Harry, a fine, handsome,
manly fellow, made a fine contrast
to her delicate type of beauty. In
fact the couple looked az if they were
made for each other. Quite an i'm
posing and brilliant display of pres
ents greeted the bride on her nuptial
day.
Among those present from a broad
we noticed Misses Edith, Angie and
Hattie Flye, of Louisiana; Miss
Nettie RoBards, of Centralia and Mr.,
A. Shull, of Louisiana. \
The happy couple left on the after
noon train to visit the relatives of the
groom, after which they will settle
down to housekeeping in Milwaukee
Wisconsin, between which point and
Chicago, Harry is express messenger.
The LEDGER wishes them a long, happy
and prosperous life.

KIRKsvILLE, Oct. 31st, 1873.

k~IRKsvILLE, Oct. 31st, 1873.
DEAR EDITOR We beg pardon
of your most indulgent highness for
not writing sooner. Our school duties
must plead excuse. 1t is no in
frequent thing for our lessons to ex-
tend over from ten to twenty pages.
An essay has to be written, too,
nearly every night.
There is anxiety among some, lest
the Normal should suffer from the
misappropriation of the State funds.
We heard the remark made that the
Normal would never go down so long
as Prof. Baldwin lives. Prof. Mason
seems to be his right-hand man. They
may be seen walking home from
school side by side every evening.
Prof. Crawl keeps the class in
mathematics lively. Profs. Ford and
Potter are making haste slowly in
their departments. Prof. Barnard
had o spell of sickness at the begin
ming of school, and as soon as he was
able to be up went to visit his dying
brother. Miss Thomas and Miss
Henderson receive a thousand dollars
a year for their services. They are
| imported articles from. New FORK and
Massachusetts,. Miss Henderson fell
down stairs and famed herself some
time since.
Prot. Shroeh has q good music
class, but there is no choir here that
can equal our Mexico choir.
There has. been only enc severe
case of sickness among the students
A Mr.. Camel nearly had the brain fe-
yer, but is now convalescing.
Some of the students seem TO have
strong predictions for beer but on
the whole there is less deviltry carried
on than could be EXPECTED.
There are few blue ribbons in
Kirksville, although we have q lecture
on temperance once in a while.
There is a Young Mems Christian
Association meeting every Wednesday
evening, and prayer meeting every
evening. JIM.

The Executive Committee would
most respectfully urge upon all the
teachers of the county the importance
of prompt and regular attendance at
the meetings of the Institute. IF we
are ever to have a uniform system Of
teachings, if the best methods are
ever to be ~adopted-in short, III We
intend to progress and not retrograde,
we must often meet each other in
tcounch, institute a comparison O.
methods and adopt only those which
are shown to be the best, The apathy
manifested by many teachers on this
subject is astonishing. They say,
1--WE can't attend; we have nothing
to suggest. To all snch the ques'
ton: Have you not mietaken yonl
profession 7 would be most pertinent.
In our humble Judgment the Legisla,
tnre could not enact q wiser Law thar
to re-establish county superintendent
cies and revoke teachers certificates
for failure to attend the county inst.
tutes. Teachers OF Audrain county,
let us make our county the banner
county of the State in educationa
matters.
