In conclusion We would suggest that those
Companies VINO have their records scattered
through several small paper bound books, have
large record books made, and employ some per
son who writes well to transcrIbe the records IN
them. The present members owe il 10 them
selves and 10 those who may come after them 10
put their records IN such shape that they
may be preserved From this attempt 10 get
up interesting Data about them, have found
that already the Companies organized since the
war, are in a fair way III a few years TO have no
records of their early life.

We had the pleasure of attending the ami
versary exercises OF the Philomathean society
last Friday night. We were much pleased
with the several addresses, and think that the
young orators of the occasion are an honor to
their society, and that some OF them proved
themselves a Sanford or a Haddick. Alto
gether the exhibition was success though we
missed the funny dialogue generally presented
on such occasions. We can not agree with
some in recommending that they be done away
with in future, as we know how much they
please an audience and have seen them acted
here often similar occasions, and have
never vet heard OF any harm coming from
them, but ii YOU do give them up, boys be
sure to have the fire works, and above all re-
member that breyity IL the beauty OF elo-
quence. The sweet music furnished by Prof.
Menger and his class from Central Female In

The Proposed Teachers Institute.

1t will be remembered that We published
sometime since special communication from
the State Superintendent of Public Education
sent US officially, suggesting the propriety OF
holding a Teachers Institute at some point in
the State. In this issue may be seen another
article from the same gentleman and on the
same subject which trust our readers
every one OF them-wiIl give more than ordi-
nary attention. it Is in reference To duty
vital in Importance. We are highly in favor
OF a Teachers Institute being held this summer
and will publish from time to time such ex-
tracts &c, as will keep our friends of that
profession appraised Of its workings that they
may hold themselves in readiness to attend.

GREAT SUFFERING AMONG CoLoRED ENIIGRANTs
N KANSAS.

st. Louis, May 2.-An Atchison, Ks, dis
patch says that over 500 colored refugees from
the South landed there to-day in generally des-
titute condition. There being no vacant bull
ding in the city great difficulty was experience
ed in getting them under shelter, but they were
finally housed in eolored churches. 1t Is ques-
tionahle whether many of them can be furnish
ed employment As the demand for unskilled
labor in this State ieNery limited. Their ar
rival was entirely unexpected, as they were or
lglnally destined for Leavenworth, but the au-
thorities of that city paid their fares 10 this
city. Our citizens have provided for their tenn
porary wants, but great suffering must resultif
this influx of totally destitute people to Kan
sas does not soon stop.
