Educational Agents.
IAN the Year Round,l

The question of commissions leads me
to speak of the class of agents who under
take to find you private governesses and
schools for your daughters. The employ
ment of these again is disadvatageous to
the parent; to the governess it is simple
cruelty; these unhappy young women
have to pay from to 10 per cent. of
their hardwon earnings to the agents.
The case would not be so bad if the lat
ter were always upright and lenient men
and women, but-though there are hon
orable exceptions-they seem to be as a
class hard and grasping to decree. |
have known agents to send information
of posts, unasked, to governess, and
then demand commission on an appoint
ment, of which they had, indeed, in
formed her, but which she first heard of
and obtained through other sources. l
have known governesses obliged to pay
commission to two different agents for the
same post.
No doubt there is often bad manage
ment on the part of the victims; no
doubt the unjust claims might often be
resisted. But it must be recollected that
the poor governess is young, timid, ignor-
ant of legal subtleties, anxious rather to
propitiate the agent, who ON his side is
strong, rich and thoroughly well up in
all laws affecting him. Parents also suffer
from the agent nuisance, though not 50
grievously. The agent will make the
best of the names on his books, and press
governess upon you, good, bad or in
different, for he wants to secure his fee.
Then the governess you engage will only
pocket $50 out of the G100 you pay her,
the other 910 going to the agent; 50 she
will be proportionately worse dressed, or
otherwise less of credit to your fam
lily and household. Besides, if she is not
to have the 91O why should it go to the
agent? Why should not you, the parent,
keep it in your own pocket? Ninety
pounds will secure as good a governess
if engaged directly, as el00 will if she is
engaged through mddleman.

A Penguin ROOkery.
TO BE CONTINUED.
[ IMoseley.l


In the penguin rookeries the grass
covers wide tracts with dense growth,
like that of field of standing corn, but
denser and higher, the grass reaching
high over ones head. Most
of the droves of penguines made for one
landing-place, where the beach surface
was covered with coating of dirt from
their feet, forming a broad tract leading
to lane in the tall grass about a yard
wide at the bottom, and quite bare with
a smoothly y-beaten roadway; this was the
entrance to the main street of this part
of the "rookery." n Various
lateral streets lead off on each side
from the main road, and are often
at their mouths as big as it; more
over, the road sometimes divides for
little and joins again; hence it is the
easiest thing in the world to lose ones
way. X 1t is impossible to con-
ceive the discomfort of making ones way
through big rookery, haphazard, or
"across country" as one may say. You
plunge into one of the lanes in the tall
grass, which at once shuts out the sur
roundings from your view. You tread
on Shiny, black, damp soil composed of
the birds dung. The stencil is overpow-
ering, the yelling of the birds perfectly
terrifying; can call it nothing else.
You lose the path, or perhaps are bent
from the first in making direct for some
spot on the other side of the rookery.
Now you are, the instant you
leave the road, ON the actual breeding
ground.
The nests are placed so thickly that
you can not help treading on eggs and
young birds at almost every step. A par
ent bird sits on each nest, with its sharp
beak erect and open ready to bite, yell
ing savagely: "Caa, caa, urr, urr," its
red eye cleaning and its plumes at half
cock and quivering with rage. 10 sooner
are your legs within reach than they are
furiously bitten, often by two or three
birds at once-that is, if you have not
got on strong leather CATERS, as on the
first occasion of visiting rookery you
probably have not. At first you
try to avoid the nests, but soon find
that impossible; then, maddened al
most by the pain, stencil and noise,
you have recourse to brutality. Thump,
thump, goes your stick, and at each blow
down goes bird. Thud, thud, you hear
from the men behind, as they kick the
birds off the nests, and so you go on for a
bit, thump and smash, whack, thud, "caa
caa, urr, urr," and the path behind you
is strewed with the dead and diving and
bleeding. \ But you make mis-
erably slow progress, and, worried to
death, at last resort to the expedient Of
stampeding as far as your breath will
carry you. You put down your head and
make rush through the grass, treading
on old and young haphazard and rushing
on before they have time to bite.

A KukIux Meets His Deserts.

Just over the Laurens line, in Pulaski
County, on Sunday night, man named
Frank Smith was killed while endeavor-
ing to kuklux negro. The circum-
stances are as follows Frank Smith
went into the negro's watermelon patch
without permission, against which the
negro protested. They cursed each other
to their present satisfaction, and Smith
left. The negro's name is Sugar Bill"
a half-witted creature, reared in this
county and we'll known in Dublin.
On Sunday night Frank Smith raised
a kuklux party and went to Riley
Smiths, with whom Bill lived, broke
down the door of Bills cabin with fence
rails, and took both him and his wife and
started off with them. Riley Smith and
John Donaldson (who was spending the
night with Mr.. Smith came out and babe
the disguised parties to desist from such
lawless conduct, whereupon one of the
number stepped forward and fred pis-
tol at Riley Smith and Donaldson,
wounding Donaldson slightly in the arm.
Another report, and the disguised bellig-
erent staggered and fell. The rest of the
Kuklux fled. Riley Smith and Donald
son then approached the man who had
fallen, and found it to be Frank Smith,
lying dead, with a bullet through his
heart. He held cooked pistol in his
hand, with one barrel discharged. 1t is
not known who fired the second shot.
Frank and Riley were cousins. At the
Coroners inquest, on Monday, the dead
man still wore his disguise.

This shows majority for Pillsbury of 285.
1t is true that the third term disafection
cost Pillsbury some votes, but it is also true
that the governorship was the only position
which was not considered settled at the start.
The result was that whatever efforts were
put forth by the Republicans, we're made in
behalf of Pillsbury, and by sort of COM
mon consent, the rest of the ticket on both
sides went by default. While Pillsbury and
his friends sent ont their speakers and put
forth their efforts in his behalf, the Demo-
Gratis did almost nothing. If they had made
canvass, they could have given Rice a
larger majority in the second district than
Poehler received.
But taking the Attorney Generals figures,
and the majority is much less to overcome
than that which Poehler overcame in 1878.
On Secretary of State the Republican ma
jority in the Second District on the 18th of
November was only 1856, less than half of
the Attorney General vote, which our CO.
temporary assumes as basis.
When contest is made where local repre-
sentation is involved, and where the Dem
ocraoy will 60 into the fight expecting to
win, an altogether different result can be
anticipated.
The utmost comfort the Republicans can
draw from the election this month is that
the Second District is fighting ground, with
the chances in favor of the Democrats.

MISSISSIPPI MITIGATION,

The matter of the improvement of the
Mississippi river has of late assumed due
prominence, and we are glad to be able to
announce the appointment Of permanent
commissioners on the part of the State of
Minnesota charged with the duty of assist
ing as far as possible, the completion of the
work begun at st. Paul, continued by the
New Orleans convention and still further as
sisted by the convention at Quincy in Octo-
Der last. The commissioners of this State
will meet in conference with those of all
other States having tributary connection
with the Mississippi river at Louisville on
the I'd of December, and will there consider
the best means to be adopted for improving
the navigation of the Mississippi river
So as to add to its value as an
avenue through which the produce of the
Northwest can have access to the markets of
Europe, without paying exorbitant tribute to
the railroad monopolies that now control the
transportation of grain and its product to
the seaboards.
The commissioners appointed from all the
States in the valley of the Mississippi, in
Guiding all it's nayigable tributaries, will meet,
as previously stated, for the purpose of con-
sidering and deciding upon the proper action
to secure from Congress such appropriations
as may be needed, in the opinion of the
United States engineers, to carry out the i'm
provements which shall be deemed necessary

A LITTLE TOO FAST.

One of our Second district Republican ex-
changes tabulates the vote for Attorney Cen
eral as cast in the counties comprising the
Second district, at the late election, and
hastily concludes that it is forgone conclu-
sion that the Republicans will regain con-
troll of that district next year. 1t figures out
a majority for Strait Rep.) in those counties
of 2,7OG, from which it concludes that "next
time'' Mr.. Poehler will be defeated. This is
altogether a gratuitous conclusion. Major
Strait (Rep.) carried the district in 1876 by
4,76O majority, while he was defeated by
Mr.. Poehler, Dem.), in 1873, Mr.. Poehler
having 724 majority. There was practically
no campaign this year on tho Democratic
side. It was determined to make no effort
for fear the Republicans would put forth
still greater vigor. What little interest was
felt was in the Governorship and on that the
vote in the Second district stood as follows:

Il Democratic Sinner Protests IN Behalf OF

4 Democratic Sinner Protests IN Behalf of
the Cler0y.
To the Editor of the Globe:
Having read your sermon (editoriaD on
the degeneracy of the st. Paul clergy in alb
dicating in favor of Major Whittle, and SUBJ
letting the job of getting up religious
"boom'' to him, and having been touched
by the ''grief" you express at-this phase of
the religious question, I desire to say to you,
be of good cheer. This is all right. You
and I and other great Democrats do not con-
slider that we are playing ''supes.'' and 'sab-
dicsting' our positions, and acknowledging
that we are incompetent and unfit for our
places, when we invite some distinguished
Democrat from abroad to canvass the State
and elucidate the Democratic creed, and
''revive' the Democracy generally. We all
do it, both in politics and business. We do
it at all our agricultural fairs. And we do
not consider the distinguished orator We
invite to swell our boom ga strolling evangel-
ist"-so called, of Democracy-either.
Review your own creed little further.
Paul was the Moody and Whittle of the early
church. He travelled from city to city get
ting up "revivals," and endeavoring to aid
the stock laborers and local preachers. Did
you ever, and do you now consider Paul as
''strolling evangeiist?''-'Fso called.'' am
not even member of these churches, and
no champion of preachers, but only plain
Democratic sinner like yourself. But yonr
article is so unfair, you must allow me as one

Thomas Wilson to the front. Hon. e. st.
Julien Cox came over from st. James, where
he had been holding court for Judge Dickjn-
son last week, and gave the grand jury here
q charge, which, when it is considered as to
the population of this county was a
very outspoken and fearless one on
the subject of the liquor traffic. The calen-

The Chicago Times in urging the avdan-
tages of Chicago for national conventions,
says there are one hundred and twenty eight
hotels in the city, and that the exposition
building will be fitted up for the meetings of
the conventions. The advantages of Chicago
are manifest to any one familiar with that
city. New York is the only city in the
country that exceeds Chicago in hotel ca
pacity, and in New York the hotels are
much more scattered and remote from the
business center than in Chicago. AS rail-
road center Chicago is more accessible than
any city in the country, and everything es-
sential to making great national gathering
convenient and comfortable is combined in
Chicago to a greater degree than any other
city in the country. Geography is against
the East, while Cincinnati and st. Louis have
not the hotel capacity for large gathering.
We hope to see both national conventions
held in Chicago next year, and if the wishes
OF the public are considered the committees
will make such selection.
