DeIeware Republican State Convention.

AeCpuDAACdu otALc OOuNcutIOh
The Republican State convention as
sembled at Dover, May 6. The platform
adopted pledges the support of the
Republicans of Deleware to the nOmi-
nee of the Chicago convention, and leaves
the delegates chosen at liberty to act &C.
cording to their individual preferences.
A resolution appointing Christian Feoi-
ger and Levi G. Clark, of Newcastly
county, N. B. Smithers and j. r. Lafland,
Of Kent, Benz. Burton and Albert Currey,
of Sussex, delegates to Chicago was
fought by large minority, who insisted
that the delegates should be chosen by
counties, as in former years. However
it was eventually adopted and the con-
vention adjourned. The delegates 60 un-
instructed but will probably vote for
Blaine.

those who become alarmed at mere ru-
mors about diseased meat on the mar
ket. AS long as the majority of our cit
liens eat and relish hog meat, il is hard
ly consistent for them to siekcn at the
stomach when ''big headed cattle are
furnished them for food.
But it seems to me that there is time
for alarm when veterinary surgeon
% comes TO the rescue of these cattle
and exonerates them from the harmless
condition of "Osteo porosis," explaining
that they had simply "fbro plastic de-
generation of the bone" Does he not
know that fibro plastic degeneration of
bone tissue is far worse for the consumer,
as we'll as the cattle, than simply
"oste0 porOsfr?" Or does he presume 10
impose an absurd statement simply be-
cause v. S. follows his name? Then,
to make matters worse, he adds that
such innocuous growths as cancer
GUS ulcers often accompf ny fibro plastic
degeneration of the bone. So we are
permitted to infer that the cattle had the
trivial disease, cancerl Suppose physi-
clan would vaccinatc child with scab

too much of the author on physiological

EDIToRs News; There are two liter
airy societies at the Normal now, and
the new one is known as the sLiterati.n
About this one viii tell you. The so
ciety was founded by Mr.. L. a. Wright.
and although it passed through severe
trials, and sometimes struggled hard
for life, is now in a nourishing condi-
ton
The society was called to order last
Saturday night by Mr.. Stratton, the pres
ident. The exercises were interesting,
End we listened to all with pleasure, ex-
cept the music. This we did not hear,
for there WAS none, because Prof. Sogard
and that very useful violin were absent.
The reading was good also the declama-
ton. The debate was short, but We do
not think it was very sweet. The judges
decided in favor of affirmative. The
question was Resolved that the Indians
have suffered more Rzongs. from the
people of the United States, then the ne
goes" and such pitiful tales as were told
about the poor Indian exiles, s,d en-
shaved negro, surely had not been heard
before for some time.
The paper was long but decidedly in
teresting, although several of our friends
were Obliged to take some severe jokes.
But they took them, we trust, as they
were given, all in jest The query box
contained variety of questions, all the
way down from the wars of the Crusades
TO how to make hash. There was con-
siderable miscellaneous business before
the society, but this was transacted with
only little misunderstanding to mar or
ruffie the "sweet" tempers of our worthy
members.
The report of the critic was then read,
after which the society adjourned TO
meet again in one week.

The recent discovery and publicity OF
the fact that the butchers of our city arc
in the habit of buying cattle Of supposed
doubtful and unwhoIesomc qualities has
created quite stir among the slayers of
inofIensive bovines, and all of these ge-
nial-faced knights of the saw and cleaver
are ready TO testify that Nick Locker
man did not sell them any diseased cat
tic. Al the same time II is pretty well
known that these experts are all Of them
on the keen lookout TO buy cattle of a
cheap and inferior grade wherewith to
supply their trade / do not for mo-
ment intend 10 charge that any OF these
worthy gentlemen would knowingly buy
or sell diseased cattle, for believe our
butchers are as honest as butchers GIN
well be. may be that AN animal with
big jaw, or one with watery joints,
might occasionally find its way INTO
their capacious pockets and they argue,
in their honest way. that call the meat
sold by them was wholesome and good
and that the big jaw is nothing more
nor less, so far as yet discovered, than a
protuberance of the jaw bone, produced
by tooth which has grown IN revers-
ed direction, thus producing an unnatu-
raj growth on the outside Of the jaw 1t
may or il may not be called disease.
My opinion is, however, that the meat of
an animal in the early stages of the big
jaw, socallcd, and as long rs the animal
remains fat, is good TO cat. The water
blisters on u steers legs may be caused
by friction, and cannot always lie called
disease that would unfit the animal for
beef, when il was u all appearance 9TH
crwise healthy. II would be far better,
however, for Emporia butchers TO buy
nothing but good soond, fat cattle, and
let the doubtful ones go east, where they
will find ready market among butchers
whose regulations are Too well establish
ed to make it necessary for them to come
to the front with aflidayits 10 satisfy their
customers of their innocence o any par
ticular charge rather than of the fault of
pernicious system that Inns grown up
among them.

Lyon County Teachors' Association

Lyon County Icacners' ASSOcfatiOn
The association met on November 5,
at the usual time and place, with the
president, Superintendent Wharton in
the chair.
The first exercise was on methods of
Teaching Reading" 10y Prof. p. ]. Car
michael. The professor spoke of the
numerous failures in the methods of
teaching this branch, which he considers
of paramount importance, the causes and
results of these failures, and of true and
natural methods TO be pursued in max
ing successful readers. He believes in
striving to attain the highest. perfection
in the mechanical part of reading, but
places much more value upon pupils
getting true ideas of what they are read
ing, claiming that if they have right
conceptions of the thoughts contained
in the lesson they will find little diff
Guilty in giving them proper expression.
The discussion which followed brought
out many valuable thoughts, Messrs. il
Ter, Sopnedccker, Dryer, and others par
ticipating.
The one to open the discussion on tho
metric system not being present, few
thoughts were given by Prof. Carmichael
and the gentlemen above named. The
general expression seemed 10 be that the
system, as it now exists, is comps 'atively
dead letter, and hence not of very
great importance.
From the absence of one or two teach
ers anu for WI 1t of time, the continued
discussion of the custom Of compelling
teachers to be examined periodically,
was deferred till nexi meeting, which
occurs on December 4th
An association, subordinate to this,
will be held at Hartford on November
18th, at Anne. Gus on November Goth,
: I'd at Reading on November 9th. Ii
is hoped that each of these will be at
tended as far as possible by teachers and
all interested throughout the corlty, es-
pecially by those in the vicinity of each
of these places.
Association adjourned TO meet again
on December 1th.
