more was then expected. Dispatches were
received here yesterday from Cincinnati,
from solctioUs parties there, warning US Of
approaching food and asking that the au.
thorities here make preparations fer it. But
these parties are unnecessarily alarmed for
Cairo. Careful calculation has shown that
with all the rise above, the river can come
up only six feet more here, and we can
stand fifteen feet more, with the river now
at thirty-seven feet The Mississippi is

While nearly all the towns and cities along
the Ohio which, from Cincinnati down to

will be high and dry, escaping even The

Chicago merchants have the nerve to
advertise, and it is to this that they are
largely indebted tor their success We
give the following instance as evidence I:
The Chicago Corset Co., about two years
ago, began business on $4,000 capital, and
the first year put 100000 into advertising.
To-day their sales are over half 3 million
dollars yearly, and they are extending
business rapidly every day, with orders
ahead all the time. In view of the fact
that THE BULLETIN is now adding nearly
two hundred expense per month without
hope Of return to advertise Cairo, wouldn't
it be good thing for some Of our Cairo
merchants to advertise regularly in its col.
umns, especially as the cost would come,
indirectly, from their competitors who do

Something About Textbooks.

\ good text book should be plain and system
attic. 1t should take the student along by easy,
successive steps through the principles of
which it treats. The one besetting fault of our
Arithmetics is that they contain too much: of
our Readers that they contain too little. The
best talent of the teaching force of the country
is constantly delying away on getting up new.
or improving Old school books Numerous
firms publish millions of copies annually. None
issue more or better than the Harper Brothers,
of New York. They have struck out into new
field rs regards prices They are meeting the
public half way. This action on the part of
such firm means Il revolution Of wholesome
sort in the introduction and supply of school
books, and it means help to every parent.
While they have largely reduced prices, the
size, matter, Workmanship and material is not
lowered one atom. Every new idea and inn
proycmenl is carefully worked in and each
book is attractive as Il work of beauty and dur
ability. They guarantee to maintain their quail
ity.
1t is no small tax which every parent has to
meet i'll the purchase of school books for their
children, and any movement toward cheapenng
prices, which have hitherto been eNhorbitant, is
a public benefit and should be known and W i'll
be appreciated.
In relation to the free textbook plan, which
is one of the appendages and advantages of the
improved town system of public schools, State
Supt. n. A. Luce says in his report:
''NeNt to the free textbook plan, the method
n of in N
ply and at the lowest rates. is that authorized
by law, by which the town contracts with the
publishers for period of years, purchases each
year the necessary supply, and appoints an
agent to sell them to pupils at or i little above
cost.
'This last plan would seem to be SO simple
and so practicable and would make the getting
of books SO much easier, as well as cheaper for
the pupil, that | most earnestly urge commit
tees and supervisors to bring it to the attention
of their towns, and to urge its adoption. There
is little doubt but that any Of the publishing
houses whose books are already in our schools
would be ready to make special terms for their
supply under this plan. The IIarpers make
such offers, indeed. at especially low rates, and
claim to prefer to do business in this way
We hope that the readers and correspondents
of the journal will take hold of the subject of
our schools and the cause of public education
in any or all of its bearings and express their
views through its columns. 1t would do good
by awakening thought and inquiry. The sub
.ject of textbooks would be good one to be
discussed at the next meeting of the Waldo
County Educational Association, which meets
in Oct. at Searsport. Good textbooks at fair
prices are needed, Patronage and preference
should be given those book makers who pub
lish good well made books at reasonable
prices, and concentration of patronage will en-
able them to give very low prices

The Waste of Animal Food.

The flesh of domestic animals fit for
food IS almost waste substance in many
countries, since it can not be locally CON

River Plate republics alone there are 30.

population of = 800 900. For Years sheen
were only valued for their wool, and.
when tlayed, carcasses were left to rot,
or, when dried in the sun, piled up in
stacks for fuel, while later on they were
boiled down for their tallow. Sheep get
very fat in the province Of Buenos Ayres,
and those Of three and four years will
give frequently from eighteen to twenty
five pounds of tallow Countless num-
bers of sheep are boiled down every year
in the so-called graSeri0S only for the
tallow, which forms one of the staple ar
ticles of export The mutton is thrown
away, or used in dry state as fuel.
In the five years ending with 1850,
more than 100000 sheep and 200, 900
horned cattle were boiled down simply
Tor their taIlow, in the colonies of New
South Wales and Victoria.
We English are great meat eaters and,
as our home supply is quite insufficient.
we have to import more than COG, 900
tons every year. With the growth of our
population, and the decreasing number
of livestock at home, the imports of
meat from abroad have prodigiously in
creased in the last quarter of century.

The Prog. Age publishes an article from the
American Register which says that the Repub-
lican tariff is a tariff for protection with cid,n-
tal ,rre""e while the Democratic tariff is tariff
for retea@e with inrs leatal t,0tection.
Is the Age getting ready to pull down its free
trade flag as it has already done with its green
back flag? We shall see.
The Republican policy is to retain the internal
revenue tax on whiskey and tobacco which
last year yielded S135, 900, ,O00-because on no
articles can the people pay taxes 50 easily as
upon these luXuries-then to so levy the duties
upon imports to pay the government eXpendi-
lures and provide gradual reduction of the
national debt. as to protect American farmers,
manufacturers and laborers against an unequal
and destructive competition with the products
of European paupcr labor; while the Democra-
cy is astrde the tariff question with the longer
leg hanging over upon the free trade side.
When the contest comes the people will not be
deceived by ingeniousy contrived phrases, and
the Democracy will fail as signally in trying
to ride two horses, going in opposite directions,
on the tariff question. as it did on the money
question.

The Workings of the Present Divorce

AS an illustration of the workings of the
present divorce law we notice divorce ease
which was up before the Superior Court yes
terday. In November, 1878, Eleazer Horn of
Oakland, married Clara A. Horn of Clinton.
They lived unhapply together for about year
and parted. She applied for divorce at
Skowhegan. She went to that town with her
witnesses, but the court had adjourned the day
before her arrival. The case was continued on
the Somerset court docket for several terms and
finally dropped. Horn knew that his wife had
applied for adivorce, notice having been served
on him, and, supposing that divorce had been
granted, married again and settled in Oakland.
1t turns out, of course, that the second mar
riage was illegal, and to make the matter still
worse, under the new law, Horn cannot be le
gally married to the second woman until two
years and six months after his first wife is di-
vorced from him. The first wife obtained
decree Of divorce from Horn yesterday, and ac-
cordingly he cannot legally marry woman No.2

1t is rather inconsistent on the part of the
Democratic party to howl about the money
power, when it nominated Tilden & Hendricks
because of their barrels, and bled Hoadly out
of 200 for a gubernatorial nomination in
Ohio. The Democratic party is run altogether
by money power, and even the Prog. Age ad-
mits that it has to use money to ''retain" its
voters.

The Democratic papers denouncc monopoles
in general terms, but fail to mention that the
Standard Oil Company, one of the worst mo-
