a Boys Essay on Boards.

There are several kinds of boards
sign boards, base boards, dash boards.
clap boards, side boards. pasteboards
and school boards.
IT think / will write about school
boards, because my sister is teacher,
and I can remember good many
things she has said about them, and
that will help me some.
Idon't know whether school boards
are always made of green lumber or
not. heard my sister say once the
board wasn't half baked. Guess she
meant it wasn't kiln-dried. Maybe
it warped, and turned over on the
wrong side. or maybe it shrunk badly
when exposed to the dry question of
wages.
School boards are different shapes
some are square and polished on
both sides: some are longer than they
are broad. and someso thin they bend
under slight pressure.
asked my sister what kind ola
board ours was. and she said it was
a good looking board. but when put
toany use it was full ofslivers. There
was ung lady staying with my
siste evening l was writing this
and said she thought some of the
board would make good hitching
posts. asked her iii was because
they were such big sticks. She said
that wasn't it. Then they both
laughed they thought didn't know
what they meant. but did, because
l saw Mr.. Jones take her to church,
and he is a member of the board, and
she acted as though she thought he
would be good to tie to.
The school board is used for the
purpose of getting the cheapest teach
ers they can find, whether they know
anything or not, and to vote down
women's wages, and leave mems as
LHFy are
They most always get the closest
grained they can find then when the
teachers say they don't get pay
enough, the people say it is the board.
The teachers say the people had nc
right to get such hard wood for Their
board and the board say "what are
you going to do about it?"
Sometimes there is weak place In
the board, and when thrown against
some hard question 1t splits and goes
all to pieces then they geta new one
or stick the old pieces together with
taffy,

slang 10 this, but father says slang

CleY1land's Intentions.

NEW YORK, Dec. A Washing
ton special to the Evening Post says:
A prominent Democratic member of
Congress, who has recently visited
Governor Cleveland, says the latter
said to him; 81 intend to resign on
the 9th of January. and, as Lieuten-
ant Governor Hill will administer
the Executive Office for the next year,
l have turned over the writing of a
message to him."
"After laying down the duties of
Governor | shall listen to whatever
my Democratic friends have to say.
| shall divide my time between AL
bany and Buffalo, until the day
arrives to go to Washington. l in
tend to give due consideration to the
council of our party friends. 1t may
he that when L enter on the Presi-
dency some things may not move as
fast as some Democrats wish, but |
think it will be better to 60 slow and
he sure. We cannot hope to avoid
mistakes, but if we proceed slowly
we will make fewer mistakes than if
we go with a rush."
The member of Congress with
whom Cleveland talked says the
Governor will become President with
out any ambition for a second term !;
that he holds to the single term prin-
ciple laid down i'm his letter of accept
ance, and declared his great object is
to so administer the government as
to lay the foundation of long con-
tinued Democratic rule.
Governor Cleveland spoke to his
visitor of the efforts of certain hotels
in Washington to use him for adver.
Using purposes by offering him their
hospitalities free of charge, and he
emphatically declared he would not
stop at any hotel that sought to get
him as guest.
The Governor incidentally alluded
to the report Of quarrel between
him and Hendricks, saying that they
did not in their conversation discuss
politics and that two men meyer part.
ed more pleasantly. This Congress
man drew from his conversation with
Cleveland that the latter has not yet
made up his mind with regard to
single Cabinet appointment. He is
deferring these matters until he re.
tires from the Governorship.

Praying for Death.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 8.-Dr.
J. B. HubbelI, who was sent to Vir-
ginia by the American Association of
the Red Cross to examine the fatal
disease now prevailing in the south
western part of that State and in
Kentuck, has made lengthy report
in which the results of his examina.
ton are given. The Doctor says:
Whatever the original cause of the
disease may have been there is no
doubt but it has been augmented by
the drought and impure water. The
first cases which appeared were
bloody f1ux with vomit, later assum-
ing the form of Asiatic cholera. In
nearly all cases where the patients
died, they were attacked with severe
gripping. with the above named
symptoms. The disease existed in
two forms, one as above, the other
commencing without gripping and
vomit. These latter did not prove
fatal. Large quantities of sometimes
red and sometimes dark blood APP
peared at various stages of the dis
ease. All who died were conscious
to the last, and every adult was not
only anxious but prayed to die. 1t
I has now nearly disappeared, in Wise
county there remaining but three
critical cases, but it has left many
cripples on crutches like persons dis
abled from rheumatism. The remedy
which proved most effectual was a
compound of castor and olive oils,
laudanum and champion, or, where
no physicians were in attendance,
the simple treatment Of warm teas
and careful nursing. None of the at
tending physicians seemed to under.
stand the disease and their treatment

Garrett Guard Annual Target Match.

OAKLAND, Md, Dec. 6, 1884.
Owing to the fact that the fixed
ammunition ordered for the Garrett
Guard did not arrive on time the an
nual target match which usually
takes place on Thanksgiving was
postponed until to-day. When the
company assembled at the Armory
this morning the weather was very
Indictment. and il was thought best
by some to postpone the shooting,
but majority decided otherwise and
the match came off. NotWithstand-
ing the fact that the rain was p, uring
ing down in torrents, twenty-six
marksmen were present and partici-
pated in the shooting.
Below will be found the scores:
