Many persons take medicine for
their ailments, and as soon as they
feel better they disregard AL d,rcc
tions and stop taking it. They try
ii again and again, and finally throw
it aside as worthless, when, had it
been persevcred in from the start, a
permanent cure would have been cf-
iectcd. Now in taking PRIcKLY ASH
BllTERs for all complaints of the
Stomach and Bowels, remember to
give the medicine a chance, aud DOME
expect one or two doses to cure YOU.

entee, didn't seem to strike our citi
zens as exactly fair; in other words
they don't think the amount of mon
ey required to be put up, withou
indemnity in case OF failure, woul,
be counterbalanced by the amour
of brain force expended in the dis
covery of the secret by which cottor
seed, after being decorticated, ma,
be kept pure by simply packing il
air tight boxes. The cotton seet

SECOND eRADE.-M1ss WATSON.

EMPoRIA, April 10.
P. J. Carmichael, Esq, Superintendent
Of City Schools:
DEAR SIR: Your notification of my
appointment as a member of a commit
tee to examine the high school and
second grade leaves me in ignorance as
to the personnel of the balance of the
committee, and mp to this time remain
in doubt upon that matter. You will
readily perceive, therefore, that COM
mittee report is impracticable. 1t is,
however, quite possible that individual
impressions are not valueless. con.
fined my attendance almost entirely to
the second grade, in the first place at
your request, and, secondly, as did not
wish to get beyond my depth in the in
tricacies of Latin, or to be buried be-
yond resurrection in the great geological
graveyard Of prior creations. DR.. Frost,
Rev. MIR. Lott and Judge Kellogg may
grapple with the maZes of the
tense Examinations or the fossiliferous
remains of the magnetism or any other
kind of limestone, but as for me,
1 grope in no such labyrinth if I can
possibly avoid il, at least not in the char
acter of an examiner. Miss Watson's
grade was high enough for me and even
there found it necessary to my reputa-
ton to conflne my examination to OBJ
servation merely. looked as wise as
could and said nothing. ] must say l
was greatly surprised at the apparent
thoroughness of that grade. The schol-
ars manifested an acquaintance with the
subjects reviewed that was complimen-
tary to both themselves and their teach
er. Principles rather than precepts
seemed TO be the main object. The
truths themselves rather than the rules
embodying them. In history the class
grouped facts and epochs as well as
memorized pages and appeared to have
q well defined idea as to the various re-
suits Of the two colonizations which we
denominate by the words Plymouth
Rock and jamestown. Miss Watson ap-
pears to have succeeded admirably.

From the Normal.

FRIDAY, April 81.
A number OF students passed quite q
pleasant time at Prot. Davis on Wednes-
day evening. and from the early hour
lin the morning. st which some of the
party arrived home we would judge that
fun and frolIc, music and mirth reigned
supreme and that joy was certainly un-
confined.
It was announced by Prof. WEIGH
sometime ago that the theses to be pre-
pared by the graduating class would be
expected to be ready to be submitted to
the faculty by May LIST, and the way
some have been reading. thinking and
writing since has not been slow. We are
confident that the productions will be
ready ct the time expected.
The calisthenic exercises present 3
new and somewhat novel feature this
week, a. the different divisions 20
through with separate movements, in
GLIDING free-handed exercises, exercise
with rings, Indian clubs and bean bags,
at the same time, while the music fur
nished by Miss Ida Davis and Mr..
HAmm is such as would please the most
artistic.
The botany class, under the leadership
Of Prof. Sadler, tsOk . stroll on Wed
nesdaY, "oyer the hills and far away" to
the NeoshO, for the purpose of collect
ing specimens for analysis. We under.
stand that the gentlemen of the class at
frat were much interested in the study
Of daisies" but of late evince much
more interest in "spring beauties"
We were pleased to hear that the ed
itOrs Of the state, while on their excur-
sion, would visit EmpOria, and while in
the city would do US the honor of visit
ing the Normal. We will be pleased to
see them, and will try to entertain.
The rhetoricals to-day were opened
by talk about Froebel and the kinder
Harten by Miss kaufman after which
Miss Chricton's class gave an exercise
in physiology. The orations, essays and
declamations were of the best and lis
tened to with much interest, but moth.
ing was more enthusiastically accepted
than q cong by the children in the kim
dergartsn, lead by Miss kaufman.
Quite number of students have been
unable to attend school this week on &c
count Of sickness. but from the last &C
counts we learn all are convalescing and
will no doubt be able to resume their
duties on Monday.
Among our visitors to-day We were
pleased TO notice Mrs. McCollum, now
. resident Of Council Grove, but former
ly Of this city, and Miss Lena Ladd, of
Eureka.
Remember the literary societies at the
Normal tonight Interesting programs
are to be presented.

ANOrHER VIEW OF 1T.

dian Territory.
EDIToRs NEWS: Noticing in the col
umns Of THR News q contribution from
the pen Of friend Carter describing bis
journey through the finiy part of the
Indian Territory, and having just re.
turned from q trip through q more "a.
vored portion Of that interesting coun.
try, / thought that perhaps a glance al
the sunny side" might be Of interest to
the readers Of TIE NEWS.
The northeastern portion of the Cher.
oks0 country. consisting of CoO-we-skos-
wee and Delaware districts, principally
consists Of rather high, rolling prairies,
intersected here and there with streams
Of spring water, with gravel bottoms,
and lined with narrow belts Of timber
consisting mostly Of walnut, blackberry,
hickory, sycamore. oak and elm, while
thickets Of black-haW, persimmon and
spicewood are frequently met with.
Farther south, the country where il
has not been cleared, is covered with
heavy growth Of valuable timber.
Pine grows here in profusion. Cattle
keep fat here the year round, feeding on
. species of wild grass that grows
abundantly in the timber.
Agriculture is principally confinsd to
the growing Of corn and cotton. The
soil il generally very productive, and
the inhabitants are civilized and have g
wise code of laws and flrstrate general
government. The industries in the ter.
ritory that most need the revivifying in.
huence Of the white man are agricul.
ture and commerce.
