Talking OF Malone. did George

And yet they call republics ungrateful!

be swallowed BY Mr.. Blaine. with whom
he hopes that he will disagree.

istration loads him with flowers and

A proposal in the Boston School
Board ID reduce the salaries Of the
school teachers OF that city gave
Rev. George A. Thayer 4 chance to free
his mind on the subject in q minority
report. He had obtained estimates, ne
said, from careful and trustworthy per
sons, Of the incomes enjoyed BY sue
cessful members of the learned profess
sions in Boston. Fifty lawyers make
$4,000 q year and upward; one hum
dred make from $4,000 10 SIC. 900; one
hundred or more make from $4,000 to
1000. Eleven doctors are believed 70
make $40. 900 year. forty from $40, 900
10 so, 900. eighty from 70, 900 TO 3 %. 600.
and two hundred from 81. 900 10 s., 600.
In three leading Protestant sects,
twenty-one ministers receive salaries
ranging from , a, 900 to Z 1000. For his
part. the Rev. Mr. Thayer thought that
Boston should seek for she teachers 81
its children large-minded persons,
whose abilities would have earned them
distinguished success IN any Of these
other professions or in trade. But II
could not GOT such teachers unless il
was prepared 10 assure them honorable
comfort and On old age free from care

For several weeks an expert ssca!.
culator" has been at work in the census
Office figuring out the location Of the
center OF population Of the United
States. II Is not m easy task. IS one
can imagine who gives the matter a
little thought. The whole territory il
divided mp INTO small squares. and the
population ascertained for each square
This Is arrived at by consulting the
population Of each civil district, town
ship or ward. The squares are made
to balance against each other until 4
common center Is ascertaincd. An
expert calculator has already been en-
gagged more than month in this work,
and another month will be required
before the true ''center' Is known. The
work has progressed far enough, how
ever. to show that the center will be
very near Cincinnati, certainly not over
four or five miles from the business
center Of the city. A few weeks ago II
was thought the center would make .
final LANDING" upon the hills which
encircle Cincinnati 10 the northward,
but progressive calculations now indi-
cate that il will cross the Ohio River
and establish itself on the south side.
This Is owing 70 the unexpected increase
OF population in the South, which will
cause the s'centcr" TO shift further south
ward than heretofore.

POLYGAMY DOOMED.

Delegate Campbell has written to
the president, giving his views of
the situation in regard to polygamy,
and setting forth in vigorous terms
the lamentablc condition Of morals
in Utah. He urges the president to
stamp out the evil at any cost, and
closes his splendid appeal as follows:
"New, vigorous and direct lcgisla-
tion IL needed 70 correct this great
evil. Now Is the time to strike. 1t
will not do to nurse and protect this
giant wrong, until, like slavery, it
threatens the overthrow of the gov
eminent. and requires the best blood
of the country to wash it out. Those
who now plead that polygamy is Il
divine institution are perhaps as
sincere as those who in times past
pleaded the divine origin of slavery.
But they are none the less dangerous
enemies of Il free government and
republican institutions. Your mes
sage has raised hopes in Utah that
should not be blighted, There are
thousands ofyoung men and women
there who long for deliverance from
the hateful shadow ofpolygamy, and
who are ready to come to the front
as soon as they are assured that
congress and the administration are
determined to free them. Give them
this assurance, Mr.. President, and,
as Abraham Lincoln lives in history
as the hberator of the slaves, your
administration will be memorable as
that which gave the doathblow TO
that twin relic Of barbarism, polyga-

Leavcnworth, April 25.--The Mis-
sour river is again bank full, and is
higher now than it was last week,
when it reached tie highest poil.
on record at this season of the year.
The water to-day was up to the en-
CINE house on the levee and rise Of
n few inches would put the fires out.
1t is feared the river will cut away
its bank on the Missouri side and
flow through the slough, thus leav-
ing the east end of the bridge on an
island and throwing the main chan
mel about two miles from town.
Yankton, d. r., April 5th.-Low-
or Yankton is submerged to-day, and
the people have been removed to the
upper town. The village of Green
Island is completely washed away,
and water and ice to depth Of ten
or twelve feet covers the village site.
The Ice has chokcd up the channel
Il short distance below Iankton,
turning n great volume of water
across the country on the Dakota
side, and flowing eastward thirty
miles before it re-cntcrs the old chan
mel at Nernillion, which is reported
washed away with Il loss of thirty
lives. The river is about six miles
wide, with its surface covered with
broken ice. East few miles the
surface broadens to fifteen miles, re-
tanning this width without excep-
ton for forty-tive miles.
