The Rewards of Scholarship.

The best and highest reward OF
study is the possession Of knowl-
edge and the power il gives the
mind TO expand and classify its
knowledge. In other words the
mental growth IL promotes. The
reward Of scholarship in our public
school is promotion We do not
believe n little more stimulus than
promotion gives would be injurious,
although il il great advance on
the old system Of rewarding by
prizes alonc-such as books, money
or medal.
We will simply suppose an ar
rangement something like this: that
number Of ladies Interested in
the education Of their own children
and other, should agree to visit tho
schools regularly. Each one take
some class under her cspecial pat
ronage, note the progress and award
in the younger classes TO the best
scholar in behavior and industry, O
blue ribbon, TO be worn, or kept till
her next visit. and then the next
best take il, and 50 on. AT the end
oi the term something more sub.
stontial and valuable might bt
given. TO the older classes some
thing more adapted to thoir ag'
might be proposed.
We imagine this would be !
stimulus. II would amount Il
organized visitation and substantial
interest on the part Of the parents

The Happy Family which met III
the u. =. Hotel, Dodgeyille.

On Friday evening last the
Mitchell express brought TO Dodge
vile cargo Of fresh oysters. r.
Marks, Of the Z. S. Hotel, sur
rounded them and drove them all
into his cellar They were waited
upon by two of the agents of the
commissioner Of immigration, who
took their pedigree and asccrtained
what ch rch they belonged to in
their native country, and what
ticket they were going to vote in
this country. J. w. Rewey, chair
man of the county board of super
visors, called them to order, and
said that the first business before
the lower part Of the house, was,
on the question Of the adoption Of
the report Of the committee on
CLANS. The immigration agent
said that was an OPEN question.
Mr.. Marks said, as the oysters
had put up at his hotel, he wanted
them fairly treated according 70
their own national customs, and he
sent out and summoned jury OF
their peers, and brought II doctors,
priests, merchants, politicians, Meth
odists, officers, greenbackers, tax
payers, Presbyterians, oflice-scekers
republicans, Baptists, democrats,
men who hadn't money enough To
90 70 see Grant, men who hadn't
money enough to get home after
they had seen him; and, in fact
every class and profession was rep.
resented, except men who had
taken voyage il d balloon, few
chrlstialls, ana men VINO didn't want
take the census in 1880.
The two agents Of immigration
had long conference with old Sad.
dlerock the chief Of the clans
trying to persuade him to change
his point Of destination and settlt
down in DodgeyiIle. They prom.
ised him that II lie would consent
to stay here, and agree to vote tn,

for him next year for one Of TIN

Old Saddlcreck consented to STAY
and take supper with his friends
who had already sat down TO the
sumptuous tables in the us, dining
hall, so the family of oysters was
conveyed into the dinning room
IN squads Of 4 dozen together, and
began selecting their situations, 4
large number of them Joined the
grccuhack party down at the lower
end OF the table where j, u. Morris
was sitting; some joined the Meth
odists, some tho democrats, but the
largest number joined the rcpubh-
can party, for the reason, MS they
said, there was the greatest opening
there they had seen since they left
Baltimore; and they all appeared
to decide at once what to do except
Old Saddlcroek, and he hcsitated.
The chairman of the county board
called him over to him and whis
pcrcd i'll his ear, and told him it
was not necessary for him TO go
into any party in n body, but if he
preferred it he could go in on the
installment plan. He consented TO
this, and said he would SO into the
county board i'll installments; he
therefore moved the chair that the
object of the meeting be proceeded
with. But Inc moved the chair n
little too far, which upset cup of
Of hot coffee on old Saddlcrock
which rendered him unfit to 20
into the county board or anywhere
else, either in installmonts or in
any other manner. All the time
this little episode was being carried
on between the chairman and Sad
dlerocl, tho other guests ut the
table were supplying the balance
Of the oysters with situations; first
sending hot one, then a cold one
TO cool il, then u hot one to warm
the cool one; and SO everything went
charmingly on to perfection, and the
whole scene ended in ono grand
swell Of self-suilioiency.
The last heard Of the oysters they
were returning their copious thanks
to the two agents of immigration
for keeping so many of them to-
gether, and not permitting them to
be separated.
If old Hayes could have looked
in ON the happy family Mt the u. S.
Hotel on last Friday night, and
witnessed the genuine, unaffected
enjoyment, he would have gone
home and revoked his Thanks
giving proclamation.

Capt. Sparrow Of the schooner Guerrilla
OF Orland, loaded with potatoes, had ar
rived at Salem and disposed Of his cargo,
and with his crew of two men had retired
to their hunks in the cabin and were
asleep. During the night Capt. s, was
awakened by hearing some one prying
open and entering the door Of his cabin.
He awakened his men, one Of whom, U.il
patrick) was grappled by two OF the rob
bers, and fight for life commenced. The
Captain from his berth got sight Of one
Of them and fired his revolver, hitting the
robber in vulnerable place as he threw
up his hands, staggered and cried Justify.
His comrades carried him on deck and
made their escape. 1t was a lucky and
timely shot. The Captain is quite an old
man, and had considerable money with
him. They are all armed now, and the
crews of Orland vessels ditto.

Col. DeGraf,
From Dunton's Spirit of the Turf. |

From Dunton's Spirit Of the TurfI
We have been acquainted with Col. De-
Graft for many years, and should know him
if we met him in China, of course; but
when we saw his lordship in painting,
hung in the palatial residence of his son-in-
law. MIR. John Berkey, at st. Paul, few days
ago, it was like meeting the Colonel face to
face on the snow behind pair of flyers, as
many of his friends were wont to do. The
picture is one Of Cross very best, 32x44, and
the scenery on the road at the great Lake
Elysian stock farm, that leads to Elk Park.
The pair of horses are Alexander, 2:2o3.,
and his son Railroad; horses owned at the
farm. The harness, the cutter, the robes,
are in keeping with the character of the
pair, and with the dashboard, the robes. and
the Colonel's coat bedashed with snow rs
white and pure as the heart of the man, the
view might have been thought to be CON-
Plete. But when We add the poise and tina
very picture of the Colonel himself, sitting
in the cutter as no one else can sit, and
holding the lines of pair flying over the
snow at q 2:3O gait, as no other man can do,
performing the task with such signal ability,
and with the confident sang froid of O vet
eran of the ribbons, the very man and his
pair bring back many, many pleasant
thoughts, like the bright twinkling stars in
dusk night. - -...

CHRISTMAS.

Christmas has come. This is tho season
of joy to thousands. 1t signalizes the birth
of the savior of mankind, but, better than
that, it is the anniversary OF new dispen-
sation. Whatever may be the views of the
majority of people on the question of the
divinity of him whose nativity We celebrate
to day, there is no diversity as to the beneti-
cence of his mission. He was man, god
ikeif not very God. He taught code of
morals that was, up to his advent, strange
to the world. He left behind him az bene-
diction the words that hsralaea his birth
"Peace on earth, good will to men, His
mission is not yet ended-it is scarce begun.
Sermons can be preached from his SAYINGS,
and no criticism has yet animadverted upon
the code of morals that he taught
But in modern days the Christmas festival
has lost much of it's religious aspect. II is q
day of jclity. The good Saint Nicholas
comes around with never-failing regularity
to delight the hearts of the little ones, and
by giving joy to them, he gives better en-
ioyment to the children of a larger growth,
He who cannot participate in the delight OF
