RemOyal---EXcitement.

Considerable excitement, we learn,
was created at Kirksville, last week, by
the board of regents for the state nor
NAL at that place, removing Miss Alice
Heath as preceptress, and giving the
place to a niece of Judge Henry, Of
Macon county. Both citizens and STU
dents became very indignant over the
act, and quite number of the former
waited on the board to ascertain the
cause, but the board could give no rea-
son for their action in removing Miss H.
Some say that it was done on account
of political prejudice - others, that
ii was on account of her being Metho-
dist. ~ But, be that as it may
the citizens were no ways backward in
giving vent to their feelings. Last Fri
day evening, meeting of the board of
public schools was called, when Miss
Heath was elected to the principalship
without dissenting voice, at salary
of$Ioo per month, which gives her a
better position than the one she lost
without just cause. Giving her the
above position was intended as arebuke
for the unexplained conduct of the
board of regents.-Edina Democrat.

There was an immense number of per-

One of the chief attrac tions of our

one is there. and on Sunday about l50
persons visit it, The waters are said to
possess many curative properties. Will

A NEW CITY.

A correspondent Of the Milan, Free

at the new station of Haley City, on

"Over thirty houses are now under

by the 10th of the present month. Ov-

Here are some words of sarcastic ad-
vice from Mark TWAIN which are often
put into an editors head by matters not
wholly unconnected with the contents
of his letter box: Don't write too plain

Scrawl your article with your eyes
shut, ana make every word as illegIble
as you can. Avoid all oainstaking with
proper names. We know the full
name of every man, woman and child
in the United States, and the merest
hint at the name is sufficient. For in
stance, if You write character somc-
what like drunken figure 8, and then
draw wave line. we know at once you
mean Samuel Morrison, even though
you think you mean Lemuel Messeng-

Although Bradley charged Sessions

Although Bradley charged Sessions
with trying to bribe him, Yesterdays
proceedings before the committee at
Albany would justify the idea that the
tables have been turned, and that Brad
ley is the one under investigation. The
testimony hehimself gave is certainly Of
a character to seriously impugn his
credability. He admits having talked
a good deal with his friends during the
pendency of the contest, in regard to
the free use of money, and with having
told one of them that he could get $5,-
900 for voting for Depew and from
the number of conversations Of this
character which are traced to him it is
manifest that the idea Of bribery had
become very familiar to his mind, and
it is not surprising that when the tempt
er came it found him willing Brad
ley, however, says he based his talk
only on the common rumor that
money was being freely used
for corrupt purposes and without any
knowledge of specific cases where it
had been so employed. His garrulity
may have been bred of wish that was
father to the thought. Like the wom-
an in Don Juan, he appears to
have been anxious for the ravishing to
begin. The examination Of Sessions
proves him to have been a professional
lobbyist IN years gone by-a fact well
known before. The whole affair ION
any hypothesis, whether of Sessions
guilt or Bradley being the cat's-paw of
a buck conspiracy is one OF the most
in American political his.

POOR IRELAND.

No relief has been given to the Irish
people across the water yet and the trou'
bles are growing, ifany difference, more
serious. The passage of the Coercion
bill gives the government power to ar
rest and imprison men anywhere in the
kingdom without trial, and the resul,
is that men are being daily arrested up
on suspicion. No Irishmen knows when
he is safe from arrest, yet he has no
means of helping himself, 1t is pow
erful government, arrayed against a
portion of its subjects, who are poor
and oppressed, subjects who have no Or
ganization and little power to organize.
Under such circumstances it is not
much wonder that they become desper-
ate and resort to means that are hard.
lyjustiiiable; but what else can he do2
Death would be preferable to species of
serfdom. If were only for the pres
ent generation, it might be borne. But
II has been going on for centuries, and
the same degradation must, unless
there can be something done to touch

the British ministry, be the portion of

Irlshman Every effort he has made
for liberty, has resulted in the riyehng
of new chains upon his already fettered

already despairing soul.

to blow up the town hall at Liverpool
and the central police station in Lon
don, and the crime seems TO he pretty
well fastened upon American irishmen.
These are terrible engines of revenge

Sunday School Work.

EDITOR Misunderstanding te
notice l left Kirksville Sunday morn
iag to visit a Sunday school at the
Center School honse, q miles nosth,
east OF town. On my arrival found q
good congregation assembled in a
grove listening to lady, Mrs. Williams,
who was reacing Scripture and COM
menting upon it relative to sanctifca.
ton. Her voice was strong and clear,
her language gave clear evidence of
culture and education, She advocated
the doctrine of entire sanctifcation.
After her remarks and singing her hus-
band arose to Fead scFlptuFs aad ad.
vocate the same doctrine. Both were
earnest and doubtless sincere believers
in holiness that it is the duty
and privilege of the christian to live
sinless life, the people listened with at.
tention.
After the close of the service notice
was given that there would be exercises
soon after the people had refreshed
themselves by dinner and rest, in re.
iatlan 10 the interests pf the sunday
school. Nearly all remained and al
soon as the repast was over the writer
took the stand and spoke especially in
relation to the interest of their school.
The school is a new one and all officers
and teachers are inexperienced in Sum
day school work, but they certainly
have the most important elements ofI
success, and that is: interest, earnest
ness and determination. | shall be
disappointed if they do not succeed. |
