A FOUNTAIN pen that always writes and never
leaks, that makes a fair, plain lire. and never
blackens the fingers, and that filled, can be
used for days without change, avoiding all the
inkstand for a fresh dip every two minutes, that
can be carried in the pocket, and il as handy for
use, and rs neat az a lead pencil, and that writes
on any paper however thin or soft; such pen
is worth having. And snch pen is the " Stylo-
graphic Pen" This we know from personal use.

THE following account OF the recent sale Of the
Middlebury Register which we find in the Free
Press, mentions several who were once engaged
in journalism in Montpeier and Others well
1.-The sale Of the Register last week will probably
mark the beginning Of a new eroch In Middlebury
journalism The men into whose possession, 1t
Is understood, the paper has passed are ex-Gover-
onel Joseph Battell and Mr.. David Smith of Fer
risburgh. who was one of the mortgage holders.
Colonel KNAPP was formerly proprietor and the
editor OF the Register. The Register, it is be-
lieved, will now be such a good paper as the town
and county will be willing and glad to support.
The paper was started over fifty-one years ago
under the name OF the american. Under various
names and management 1t continued in existence
was changed to the MiddlebuIy Register, which
name 1t has ever since retained During its ex-
istence several newspaper men have gone forth
from Middlebury to seek for fortunes, and some
of them have gained both fame and fortune in
other states Among these may be mentioned
Oliver johnson, who came here from Peacham,
and who tradition saws was somewhat inclined to
be lazy and conceited during his Middlebury life
Another is Wilbur F. Storey of the Chicago Times,
who was born in Salisbury and learned the
printers trade in Mddebury. Mr.. Storey was
poor enough when he left here, but he happened
to go into Chicago when the city was young and
growing, and he now has all the money a man
can use, Elan X. Jewett Of Buffalo, N. Y, Is
another. Mr.. Jewett removed from Middlebury
to Buffalo, bought out in succession and mostly
on credit two moribund daily papers, united
them, and after hard struggle made his venture
success. Mr.. Jewett was pet OF the Fillmore
administration and did large amount of printing
for the government. He is now wealthy and
lives in Buffalo, resting on his laures. Another
is J. IL Barrett, who was at one time commits
sOner OF pensions. Mr.. Barrett and three others
founded the Cincinnati Chronicle, and the four
afterwards purchased the Cincinnati Times, pay
ing $500, 900 for the property, which they after
wards 80 d out at a handsome advance Among
the younger generation of newspaper men whom
Middlebury has sent out are Charles NJ. Prynne
W. W. Gay and Harry Dorr of the Springfield
Republican staff The three last named are not
| natives of Middebury, but received their educa-
ton here. The veteran Middlebury journalist Is
Justus Cobb, editor of the Addison County
Journal Mr. Cobb has been connected with
newspapers in all capacities, from devil up to
editor, almost continually since the american was
| changed to the Peoples Press in 1886"

UNIVERSAL EDUCATION.

Wichita, with commendable pride, has
voted bonds and subscribed money to estab-
lish an institution of learning in that city.
Approaching, as they do. the necessity OF
having greater school facilities than are af-
forded by the ordinary public schools OF the
state, her intelligent and prosperous people
have concluded TO provide for that want, and
will build an institution OF learning that
will not only be great benefit to that city
but will stand as monument 10 the enter
prise of her people.
In our form of government the sovereign
is the whole body of the people and that a
higher degree of intelligence is demanded
on the part of the sovereign than in any
other form of government is evident.
1t is certainly true that nothing but yir-
tue and intelligence can save republic from
en- ing in despotsm, corruption and anarchy.
The governing power must know how to
govern, or it cannot govern. The National
government has a right and duty TO preserve
itself, and intelligent citizenship is indi-
spensable to self-preseryation. Not To edu-
cate is to destroy. Univarsal intelligence
never makes war. Only ignorance is con-
yertible into brute force. But for ignor-
anee among the Dominaliy free. there would
have been no rebellion. Parsimony to the
schools is death TO the republic. Common
school education must become universal, or
the form of government must be changed;
and, above all, the youth of the land must
have facilities for an education not provid-
ed for in our common schools. Wichita is
taking step in the right direction COM

j. +. Donald l. Co., of the Tarred Store
are making extensive preparations for a
large trade this fall. They begin at the be-
ginning by renovating their store room, and
by giving the walls and cealing of their ele-
giant Dry Goods House bright attractive
appearance through the medium OF the
skillfuly manipulated painters brush. They
will also remove the tar from their front
which has go long stood monument to their
cheap prices, to the chagrin and defeat of
the low lived competition who thought by
putting such disgrace on the stranger firm
would thus discourage them and destroy
formidable competition. 1t Is their object
now to put their store in such shape as will
afford them every facility to carry on the
most extensive wholesale and retail Dry
Goods House in the Southwest, and to es-
tablish a reputation for honest dealing that
will be valuable in time to come. 1t has been
a matter Of doubt with a great many,
whether the goods which are sold so cheap
by this firm were reliable. This certainly
need cause the public no apprehension as
we are authorized to state, that under any
and all circumstances satisfaction is guaran-
teed or money refunded. Colt

TIE LEVY FOR 1882.

Commissioners Steenrod and Walter and
County Clerk Dorsey figured out and made
up the levy for 1882 on Monday, that being
the day designated by law for the work.
The valuation Of property as finally fixed is
n fraction under one-half its cash value. In
no other way could Sedgwick be equaized
as to State and railway levies. The build
ing OF that State-house at Topeka is being
felt. Our county tax is only one-third more
than the State tax. Sedgwick county will
pay upwards OF twenfy-one thousand dollars
for State purposes this year. In all the
county will raise fifty-seyen thousand five
hundred and sixty dollars. The following
table will show the amount levied on each
800 returned for the year 1882, and also the
