The Immense GroWth Of Kansas.


Official information, received at the
various departments here, shows tha,
the tide Of immigration into Kansas
this year is unprecedented. The records
of the Postofice Department show that
in the fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1876,
there was an increase of 80 postofices
in the state Of Kansss; during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1877, IS new post.
Offices were established; in the fiscal
year of 1873 there were 81 new postofi,
ces established; while during tho first
eight months of the current fiscal year
Il3 new postofices were established, and
the average during April has been one
q day. These posto6ices represent new
towns. The records of the Land Office
show even greater evidence Of increased
immigration. During the fiscal year Of
1876 the amount of land taken in Kan.
sas by settlers was 655, 1863 acres,i in 1877
there were 707 .433 acres taken, in 1878
there were l,711,571 acres taken, while
in the first nine months OF tho fiscal
year Of 1879 there were taken 2,275 $50
acres. If tho demand continues, OYER
5000. 600 acres will b pre-empted dur
ing the current fiscal year. 1t should be
borne in mind that this land is taken in
small tracts of from eighty to one hun
dred and sixty acros, and each Of these
tracts rcpresents family Of from two
to seven persons. Az tar ~ known
none OF the colored emlgrants have tax

Errors in school Teaching.

There is a constant fermcnt on the
subject of education among US. Lectures,
printed essays, journals specially dovo-
ted to the subject of instruction, teach
ers' conventions, textbooks on some
new plan, maps, pictures, apparatus OF
all sorts conspire to produce the impress.
sion that the enlighten ment and training
of the youthful mind are going forward
at an unexampled pace. Nevertheless,
we are inclined to think that the actual
product is not what tho clatter of the
workshop might lead one to anticipate.
There are schools of high repute, some
of which prepare boys for college, where
the advanced pupils cannot read distinct.
ly; with clear enunciatiOn and Just en-
phasis. and where no particular effort
has been made to teach them this &C
complishment. If they are called upon
to read aloud, they pour out their words
in q tumble. As for spelling, which, in
the old district shool houses of New
England was the subject OF thorough
and prolonged drill, it is frequently
neglected, and not few young '.gentle-
men" and "ladies, as boys and girls are
sometimes called in American schools,
have an orthography, rs their letters
would chow, which is altogether origi.
nal. instruction in geography is often
given to Young pupils in way to dis
gust them with study which might co.
silly be made highly interesting. Instead
Of trying TO stamp on the memory, with
the aid of maps. the leading geographi-
cal facts, the attempt is made to burden
the memory with mass Of details-an
attempt which not only proves abortive,
but serves TO confuse the mind and pre-.
vent it from laying fast hold upon any.
thing. This is only ono illustration Of
q prevalent fashion Of seeking to do too
much, which ia miscellaneous quality OF
not a few OF our schools. Boys and
girls are forced into written cxsmina-
tons, extending over hours, out Of
which they como with aching heads, and
their and.writing spoiled BY the rapid
driving of the quill.-New York Times

Col. IngersoIl on Napoleon.

A little while ago stood by the grave
of the old Napoleon-a magnificen
tomb of gilt and gold, fit almost for I
dead deity-and gazed upon sarcopha
gus of black Egyptian marble, where
rest at last the ashes of q restless man
leaned over the balustrade and though,
about the career of the greatest soldier
of the modern world. l saw him walk
ing on the banks Of tho Seine, contem
plating suicide. saw him at Toulon
Il saw him putting down the mob in
tho streets of Paris-l saw him at the
head of the army of ltaly-I saw him
crossing the bridge Of Lodi with the tri.
color in his hand-I saw him IN Egypt
in tho shadows of the Pyramlds-I saw
him conquer the Alps and minglo the
eagles OF France with the eagles of the
crags-I saw him at Marengo, at Uim
and Austerlitz. ! saw him in Russia,
where the infantry Of the snow and the
cavalry OF the wild blast scattered bis
legions like winters withered leaves.
l saw him at Leipsic in defeat and dis
sster-driven By million bsyonets
back upon Paris-slutched like . wild
beast-banished to Elba. saw him es.
cape and retake An empire BY the force
of his genius. l saw him upon the
frightful field of Waterloo, where
chance and fate combined to wreck the
fortunes OF their former King, and l
saw him at Helena. with his hands cross.
cd behind him, gazing out upon the sad
and solemn sea.
l thought OF the orphans and widows
he had made-of the tears that had
been shed for his glory, and Of the only
woman who ever loved him pushed
from his heart BY the cold hand Of am
bition. And I said l would rather
have been . French peasant and worn
wooden shoes. would rather have
lived in . hut with vine growing over
the door, and tho grapes growing pur-
pie in the kisses of the autumn sun. l
would rather have been that poor
peasant, with my loving wife by my
side, knitting g the day died ont Of
the sky-with my children upon my
knees and their arms about me. l
would rather havc been that man, and
gone down 70 the tongueless silence of
tho dreamlcss dust than to have been
that imperial impersonation Of force and
murder known - Napoleon the Great.
