4 Letter from GOOdland.
It has been announced that the
/ Hon. NJ. 4. Ciardy will be candidate
for denomination. That's right. We
have become accustomed to him, and
50 can tell about what he will do in
any given case. Achsnge Of officials,
like change of whiskey or Of bed-fel-
lows, sometimes involves risk which
ought not to be lightly taken. Be
sides, Mr. Clardy is fairly q represen-
tative man Of the best element Of his
constituency.
The secret of the great barrier TO
Democratic National success is igno-
rance Of the exact effect produced on
the Democracy by the disruption Of
the old Wing Party. .and the absorp-
tion Of 3 portion of Its materiel by the
Democracy. The Wing Party, like
Samson, slew more in Its death than
ever 1t did in its life. Since the Whig
Party dissolved aud its materiel has
been absorbed and assimilated by the
surviving parties, the Democracy has
only blundered, and that continually,
and has never achieved National
success. And If. by "a fortuitous cou-
course of atoms," the Democracy could
succeed in electing every officer from
President to Justice of the peace, 1t
would do nothing but blunder because
1t is ruled by the Wing element, which
will play into the hands of the Wing
element in the Republican Party. +.
G. is q Radical, aud has the clue to
that labyrinth called American Poli-
tics, aud swears by General Grant,
who hss been heard of but not yet felt
for the last time. It il idle to specu-
late In regard Presidential candidates.
Whoever may be elected, his admins
tration is mapped out "by the inexora-
BILE logic of events.n He will accept
the inevitable. There may bea change
in "post orfices and sich,n utthat will
be all.
Most OF the corn has been planted IN
this nsghborhood, and is up, showing
quite good stand. The wet weather
has delayed some planting, but the
rains have been good for the wheat,
oats q nd grass, which are doing well.
am sorry to say that between death
and removals Arcadia Valley is losing
some of its best people. It is said that
the Rev. J. w. jackson has gone. Hel
is an excellent teacher, and was pow
er for good among his people.
It appears that Father Aubuchon
has also gone away. When he won't
he left behind him few equals and no
superior as thorough gentleman and
effective business man. The high re-
spsGt assd beet a exaExs hpneat|
man will 60 with him and Rev'dl
jackson.
The report Of Prof. II. G.. Davis on
the schools at Pilot Knob and Ironton
is good reading. It's to be lanlented
that the duties OF Prof. Davis detained
him at Iron Mounrain until the Area
dia school could not be visited. T. G.
knows what is in all Of them, and,
whilst he honors all the teachers as
faithful, yet he gives the blue ribbon
to Mrs. Lyman and her ladylike and
evidently effective assistant, because
when they took charge Of the school 1t
was about as low as 1t could well be,
aud they brought light ont of darkness
and order out Of. confE..ion. No one
but thoroughly expc fenced teacher
can estimate the incessant vigilance oD
and their scholars, theI
prayerful labor and the heartaches,|
which alone can bear fruit in such sue
cess. r. e.. has new outfit on Geog-
raphy, consisting Of Cornell's High
School Geography, revised up to 1876,
and Appleton,s Hand Atlas Of Modern
Taken together they are
splendid.
There is not much sickness here now.
The range IL in splendid condition,
and the stock is doing well.
The organization of the new congre-
CATION ut Pilot Knob has been complet-
ed. That is comendable, and hope it
may be success.
The wolves are killing stock around |
here now.
This will probably be my last letter |
from Goodland, and thereby thank |
sincerely the many friends whose kind
ness has made my stay here SO pleas
