John W. Forney in writing of the
present troubles in England, says: "I
personally know that this American
competition, which extends to other
things besides grain and beet, excites
the greatest resentment of the British
aristocracy, the manufacturers and
land owners, to the United States, nc
matter how they pretend to sympathize
with US; and their hatred is natural /;
but without American cereals and cat
tie. the English poor would be confess
eddy driven into revolution. This last
consideration shows that while the
aristocracy, and the manufacturers, and
the land owners of England are to-day,
honestly hostile to the United States.
the people of Graat Britain look to our
institutions with increasing interest.
The hatred of the rich is a. logical as
the love of the poor"

Teachers Institute OF Saline County.

Teachers Institute or Saline County.
Friday closed the second week o: the
Institute. A great deal of hard work
has been done by all in attendance, and
teachers and the taught seem satisfied
with the progress. The book keeping
as taught by Prof. Fitzpatrick is prac.
teal and is calculated to give the mem
bers of tho class such ideas regarding
the general principles as will enable
them to teach it understandingly, or
practice it. Tho class in Entomology,
taught by Miss Phillips, has boon at
disadvantage, owing to the unsuccessful
attempt to get a text book on that sub
ject which would give general outline
and DO completed in four weeks.
The edition of the book in use last year
has been exhausted and its place not ill
cd, so the class got their information
from variety OF text books and from
insects taken in the class room. This
is very practical method, and informa-
ton got in this way is not apt to be
soon forgotten.
Tho institute may well congratulate
itself for having been so fortunate IN So
curing such q good teacher in elocution.
Unless teacher thoroughly under
stands this branch and is adapted for
it, the result will be poor. 1t is some
thing scholars IN general dislike to have
ANYTHING to do with, but il It could be
taught to them in the interesting and IN
structive way it was taught at the insti-
tute, or something near it, a decided
change would result. Any person that
can speak in public has great advan-
tage over one that cannot, and this
method is calculated to give pupils ideas !

The theory of the defense in the trial
OF Cox for the murder of Mrs. Hull is q
queer one. 1t is that Mrs. Hull was
not dead when discovered. animation
only being suspended, and that the
surgeons killed her in the autopsy.
The plea is based on the alleged fact
that when the knife WAS used in the
examination the blood flowed from the
incision. The Hull case is peculiar
