WHY A SCHooLMAsTER WENT ABRoAD.-A
Virginia City man who formerly taught
school in the Honey Lake Valley, has been
telling Dan. De Guile why he left that rural
region. While employed as teacher it seems
he boarded round" and one night, while
at the house of an old ranchman, gave one
of the boys some extra lessons in geography.
The old man overheard him telling the boy
that the earth turned around once in twen-
ty-four hours and "kicked' against it. He
said he had heard such stuff talked, but
there was nothing in it, as he could prove.
He filled a lineup with water and set it on
top of his gate-post saying:
NOW, young fellow, if the world fops
over as you say, the water will be all out OF
the cup in the morning, and you will be
right if the water is still in the cup, I'll be
right, and the world don't flop over"
The water was found in the cup, and the
old man :riumphantly exclaimed
Thar, give me common sense any time
agains book larnin'"
Word went forth to the neighborhood
that the teacher was an ignoramus, and he
was invited to take a walk. A reporter
asked the ex-teacher if that was the only
reason for bouncing him. He said that it
was not, that he had incurred the deadly
hostility of one of the school trustees by
laughing uproariously at a question put by
the old man. The honest farmer got hold
of his sons geography, it appears, and there
had read that the earth had a rotary mo-
ton. He called on the schoolmaster to ease
his mind in regard to an agricultural prob
lem this had suggested.
"Say, perfess," he remarked, ''Ive been q
readin' in Toms joggerfy that the arth he2
got rot-tatory motion, and | thought I'd
Jest ak you eff maybe that wasn't the cause
of the pertaty rot?'

1t was we'll known that the drug store on
the corner of Baltimore and Fremont
streets was conducted for years by lady,
who, by her intelligence industry and en-
terprise demonstrated to the people of Bal
timore what woman of determination
could, of her own merits, accomplish. Mr..
Wiseman was druggist, and, after estab-
fishing a store in Baltimore, he became dis
abled by paralysis, His wife applied her
self to the acquisition of thorough knowl-
edge of drugs and medicines, so that she be-
came capable of conducting the business
during her husbands sickness, and after
his death, about sixteen years ago she con-
tinued it with success. She passed an ex.
animation and was regularly registered
druggist, and is said to have been the only
lady in the country who held such posi-,
ton. Her knowledge Of medicines was ex-
tensive, and enabled her to prepare mum.
Der of excellent remedies. She acquired
considerable wealth, and when she married
again, sold out her business. She died at
Norfolk, Va, lately Baltimore News.

THE KING OPEU tOPEAND TIE
RONDHOLDER, OF AMERICA.

Hocdel is decapitsted and Modelling
will be executed, and the German Par
lament enscts laws against the Social
lists, and the German government has
even bought large edition of work
against Communism, and circulstes it
gratuitously in order to maintain its
authority among the people. When
the Russo-Turkish treaty was effected
and the great powers sat together in
Berlin, Bismarck was almost impotent
because Prussia breads more the COM
mune than crowned heads and armies
of the continent. Socialism, every
where, except among farming popula-
tions of free America, is gathering
strength for final conflict with those
who control the land and money of
different countries. Thirty thousand
people in England, the freest and best
governed monarchy on the globe, own
all the land of England, Ireland and
Scotland, sustaining more than thirty
millions. Money, too, is monopolized
by the few, and the poor are very poor,
having neither homes nor gold. How
long this outgrowth Of feudal systems,
that gave us many absurd laws and
customs, will be tolerated IN England
and throughout Europe remains to be
seen, but at the very hour that
Hoedel was decapltated another
Hoedel assassinated the chief of the
Cars police. AS the blood of the mar
tyrs was the seed Of the church, even so
will the victims OF kings water with
their tears and blood the price of lib
erty in Europe. Emperors and mobiles
and prescriptions and monopoliza-
tion of land and gold springlng from
force and outrage and robbery in by
gone years will not always be tolerated,
and even if Bismarck win
tomorrow, the conflict will
be constantly renewed, and the
people, rather than kings, must be sd
preme. God made the earth for the
whole people, and not for despots and
not for noblemen and not for "bond-
holders" Europe must fight for free
dom, America must vote for it.

THE YANKEES LII COMING
SOUTH.

We would not, of course, pslllatc
lawless deeds done by Texan highway
men. They make the border dangerous
for quiet, good people having an over
abundance of money or mustangs.
They also "h4nker after" stage coaches
and express packages on railway
trains. OF course it is very bad
and their devilish, daring and
awful sinfulness make good people
away down East shudder. Distance,
too, does its proper work, and when
two thousand miles away the ranchero
and bandit of the border, who is a
Mexican to-day, a white man to-mor-
row and an Indian when occasion re-
quires, becomes in New England's
eyes q monster too terrible for con
temptation. But how insignificant
the criminality of the worst
daredevil of the Rio Graude, con-
trasted with that of brutal knaves
who hourly do internal deeds in Eastern
citiesl We have at the moment, among
countless other recitals of infsmies
done north of the Ohio, within week,
an account of rape committed by the
son upon the mother that bore him,
and incarcerated for life On the same
day with this prince of incompatible
villains is another who decapita-
ted his own father. Both these
creatures of crime and unutterable in
fanny are children of the morals and So
cisl systems and peculiar civilization OF
New York. There is degree of dew
il-may-care heroism characterlzipg the
worst enormitIes done by Texan out
laws that invests their character and
deeds with honor when contrasted
with the low, brutal, cowardly assassin
practices of those whose names adorn
calendars of crime in older East
ern States. If crime and vice be re-
pulsive to the good people of the East,
we never could understand why they
do not desert Boston, New York, Bal
timore, and especially Chicago, and
seek charming homes along the very
''banks and braes" of the Rio Grande.

RAISE THE q QUAxANTIVE---Q
THE FOOLIsHNESS.

Gen. W. N. R. Beale, writing from
st. Louis, says "there have been four
cases of yellow fever at the hospitals
here brought upon steamers from be-
low." There was never case in
digenous to st. Louis. The dis
ease does not reproduce itself
there. Climatic laws prevent and
therefore when the sick or those from
infected districts reach St. Louis they
are simply sent to hospitals and prop
erly cared for. Austin, with selfish
ness that is criminal, has no proper hos
pitals or tents or provision for the
poor and unfortunate, and if
they knock, asking aims at the door
way of plenty and of perfect security,
they are thrust out at Round Rock and
Manor with pitiless barbarity. There
is no more danger of the diffusion of
yellow fever here than in Nash
vile, and Nashville invites thith-
er the people of Memphis. They
are asked to enter the homes and ho-
tells and boarding houses of Nashville.
Two thousand or more fugitives from
malarial districts of the Mississippi
Valley are spending the summer and
tall in Nashville. Holly Springs, on
the hills, Is the refuge for the afflicted
Of Grenada in the lowlands, and yet if
Houston and Galveston were smitten
by the plague the capital of Texas
would close Its doors against the
flying people of these seaboard
cities. They must seek refuge at Round
Rock and Manor where there are no
facilities for the cure of the
sick and the fewest for the msinten-
ance Of the homeless. Here there sre
thoroughly educated and skillful physi-
clans, there are drugs and vacant
houses and lofty hills and from every
patent hygrometrical fact it is probable
that the normal condition of the stmos-
phere we breathe has been reproduced.
The danger Of diffusion of yellow
fever, II any ever existed, is no more,
and the quarantine should be raised.

The irrigation OF the Colorado desert
msy be accomplished by natural means,
and without the expediture OF vast
sums of money, as has been proposed.
The surveys made in 1878 Of the desert
lying west of the Colorado river. and
extending into Mexico, demonstrated
fully tbst 1t WAS cut of from the Gulf
OF California by the sediment deposited
by the Colorado river. The old shore
lines are distinctly recognizable away
up IN San Bernardino county. and great
beds of oysters ana other marine sheIls
attest the presence, at no very remote
day, OF sea water st places from which
It is now $50 miles distant. The South
ern Pacific Railroad crosses this dried
up part of the gulf, running for over
sixty miles at levels from one 20 240
feet below that of the sea.
The Colorado river has deposited
sand aid mud along its course until It's
bed lie. in places, fully 400 feet higher
than il was In the old days when II
emptied into the Gulf Ct least 100 miles
nearer Yuma than it does now. II
continued 70 pile up sediment until .
dam was formed reaching across the
Gulf TO tho Lower California shore.
TIE head Of the Gulf thus became q
lake of salt water, and, being fed By
10 streams, g-adually dried up. This
dam now averages q height Of only
twenty seven feet above mean high
tides. The Colorado nov flows 70 the
south Of il, bat some trlfiDg change Of
its curreats may yet cause il 70 cut
AWAY the Dam 20 the north. and to re-
convert the desert into . lake. This
does not seem as impossible as that the
Fiver should abandon It's old bed north
Of Fort Yuma and force rs way through
= rocky bill, jet We all can see that the
latter has actually occurred.

BRICK PoMERoY must think that we
of the South are body Of knaves. He
is the great headlight and moral and
intellectual exemplar of the ultra
Greenbackers. He has brains, while
the fellow Kearney is ranting fool;
bu, Pomeroy's intelligence is not de-
noted by any proper sense of right.
Honest, just men can never approve
his advice to the Young Men of the
West and South" He says:
I'VE can clean all of those
Eastern pirates out of the homes and
the property they have stolen. We
car unite and whip them to reason and
to comprehension of the right. We
car leave the country northeast of the
Allegheny Mountains to pay the ma
tonsl debt. We can unite and make
the Southwest the garden of the world.
We can open the Mississippi River and
float our billions of produce down its
wa ers TO market. We can send our
surplus products to foreign countries
by way of Southern cities. With the
proceeds we can line the Vest and
South with new railroads, open new
mines and make the Esst bowling
wilderness, in which will roam the
ghosts of the witch-burners, and of
those Puritans who made fortunes in
supplying the South with slaves stolen
from the coast of Africa. We can do
all this, and you will take this for your
repast IN the near future If you do not
burn your ill-gotten bonds and let the
people live. Organize Greenback clubs,
with bayonets in reserve"
Pomeroy, a Northern man, seems in
spired by fiendish malignity. We go
to the polls and vote animated solely
by the purpose to serve the country.
We would demand only what is our
due and wrong the East in nothing.
What have We to gam by making
''desert of New England" Pomeroy's
paItisAnship is the outgrowth of pas
sion and malice rather than of reason
and conviction. he leads unthinking
followers by appealing to the worst
lns,Incts and impulses of human ma
ture, and it is only unfortunate that
Pomeroy has brains while poor Kear-
ney, as shown by his vapid speeches,
has only s'horny hands" with which TO
capture the unthinking mob. Neither
can ever gain following in the South.
We were reared honestly and cannot
become thieves and robbers. But it
was only proposed when producing
this gem from Pomeroy's diadem Of
glory to ask how Governor DAVIS,
Mayor DeGress, Tracy and Wash Jones
can submit to the mastery Of such
leader as this madmau Pomeroy.
