TO-Day's School Election,

To the Editor of The BEE:
On Monday occurs the annual school
election in our city, aud knowing THE
BEES disposition to fairness and impair
TALLY in such matters, | feel assured that
it will give a fair statement of facts in re-
gard to the present issue. 1t has been
intimated that Professor Clarendon has
still another Richmond in the field" this
year, in the shape of a ticket which, if
successful, will work to the end of rein
stating him. Now, if this is true, and
if Messrs. G. p. Devol and W. f. Spetman,
who are mentioned as Claredon candi-
dates for Mondays election are, it is re-
porsed, advocates of the Clarendon
idea of final and ultimate SUCCESS
This fact should be known by the electors
of our city. Mr. Clarendon seemed to
do well in that oaice, but when upper.
coded by another he should have retired
gracefully, as did others before him and
others since him, If he was not desired
he should have seen that and not aimed
to run what has since been
known annually as "tho Clarendon
ticket" His perseverance, in this direc.
ton the past four years has been indom-
inable, but not agreeable to our citizens
and it is now time q line should he
irawn. While it is limited that Mr.
Clarendon has spent money to elect such
men as members of the board as he has
wanted, | do not believe that If this had
been generally known it would have
been endorsed, and in Mondays election
it might be well to enquire
INTO this matter, and if DsVol and Spet-
man, while they are excellent men and
irreproachable in character, are known
as Clarendon men" it might be we'll to
look around with a view to selecting men
not in acc I'd with the annual eve sore
movement of the past. In opposition to
the ''life-long" idea of the question, DR..
Macrae and r, T. Bryant are spoken of
as candidates. If these gentlemen
are not in favor of a further continuance
# the n man idea, as I am assured they
are not, there is but little doubt of their
success on Monday.
Council Bluffs wants and should aim to
continue the excellence Of her schools,
but continual changes are not calculated
to maintain this desirable end.

How do you account for jt2"
The principal reason, as | view it,
my young friend, is knowing how to
borrow tAe wherewithal. When you
haven't got it, and somebody else has,
if you only know how to manage TO
keep up healthy circulation. II is
only necessary that you have large
ever increasing circle of aequaintances

cards, and you can't help winning.
This borrowing business is the most
ancient chestnut in the world, but 1t
is always fresh and new to the victims.
The world is made up of tieeceis and
persons willing to be lleeced, and If
YOU are man of infinite variety you
may continue to make merry at your

Here are my rules for borrowing
Study your man before you tackle
him. If he is of a sensitive and con.
iiding disposition, take HIM ASIDE and
pour tale Of woe into his ear II he
is neither sensitive nor .confidiTg,
never ask him except when he is sur
rounded by acquaintance. Then he
will be ashamed to refuse. Between
injudcious sympathy and false pride
you can find field large enough for
your talents. Once in a while you
have TO change your base, you know.
An expert borrower told nae II took
about two years to exhaust a single

could not or would not speak Of that
honorable body with patience, and
his hostility to certain of the Judges
was we'll knows, It was supposed by
most lawyers that should opportunity
come to him he would refuse a pro
motion which would necessitate mis-
sitting upon the same bench with
Judges tor whose legal attainmeuts
he had so often expressed coStempt;
and VIXEN, in 1875, his name was sent

the Supreme Court bench, many look
al to see the honor declined. For a
number of days indeed, 1t was gen
orally reported that Judge Lord was
hesitating ia the matter, and even his
intimate friends mad doubts about his
acceptance. One morning, as the late
Stephen B Ives, who probably pos
seSsed more of Judge Lords confidence
than any other member Of the bar at
least, was entering the court house,
he met the Judge coming down from
1 the lobby. "Well, Judge he said.

The Survey of Palestine.
Contemporary Review.

The survey of Palestine has thrown
light on another most important
question concerning ancient Palestine
namely, the relations of the present
climate of the country to that Old
Testament times. This question has
been fully worked out in papers which
will be found in the memoirs OF the
survey, and the conclusions reached
may be brief summarized. Palestine
is a small country, but it presents
great variety of soil, elm ate, and
water supply Ia various districts.
We have the tropical Jordan Valley
and the arctic region Of Upper Her
mon and Lebanon Ne have rich
volcanic corn plains in Bashan and
round Jezreel, and sandstones covered
with pines and cedars, and hard lime
stones over which perennial streams
flow between fine woods of oak and
telebinth in Galilee, ard yet more in
Giiead. We have fat maritime plains,
sandy and marshy, hot and malaiious,
bounded by ever-rollU e dunes, but
we'll watered by sluggis streams
from the clear springs az the mountain
foot These plains run from Carmel
to GAIA, ever widening, and support
ing rich harvesLs. We have the low
chalk hills, with their luxurant olive
yards ana wells of living water, all
along the eastern side OF the maritime
plains Above, rise mountains 5000
TO 4. coo feet high, and on the north
attaining to i0.0s0 feet. These are
generally rugged and bare, but care
fully terraced and partly cultivated.
The vine feurishes on these higher
ranges. where the frost and mist aid
the strong reflection of heat from the
rock TO ripen the grapes But besides
these richer districts, we have the old
deserts unchanged from the days of
Abraham and OF David the fat marty
plateau of Beersheba, whore the no
MAIDS feed their Aocks and herds as
Isaac did befoae them the desolate
peaks and gorges Of The JesEimoh,
where the dun partridge and the
| brown ibex roam as they did when
David hid ia these fastnesses from
Saul, among the rocks Of the wilG
goats . Exploration does not tend to
countenancc the old ideas about a
great change in climate. II Is mat
Ter for the naturalists aud the geolog
list to decide, and we know certainly
that brooks Of water could never have
flowed on the surface Of the porous
chalk of some Of these regions any
more than they can now. We know
also that the land is siill as fertile as
of old still with a Sufficient rainfall;
and that when a Just and stable gov
ernrent exists IS 10 The Lepanonl
| the country sill, flows. with III aud
vine But what we do learn from a
study Of the land and Of history IS
/ tue desolation wrought BY human
means ia Palestine. We fud every
where the copse covering the vine

old field enclosures, the terraces in
ruins the old vineyard deserted, the
olive yards exterminatea, and many
of the ancient woods entirely cut
down. The forests which existed IN

the times of Titus and Of the Crusa-
ders are often entirely destroyed, and
fine oak woods are represented by
acres of Stun ps and roots; the great
Antanine cities beyond Jordou stand
in a wilderness fun of ruined villages,
over which the Arab wanders with
his herds of camels. In brief, we see
that poverty aud decrease of popula-
ton, the decay of roads and aqueducts
the ruin of the old cisterns, the des
truo'ion OF the woods, terraces, and
vineyards are the causes OF the pres
ent desolation. This has often been
pointed out, and experience proves
that, given a just and strong govern
ment IN the country, Palestine might
become, like Southern Italy, a garden
of the world

looking with wondering eyes in his
face, and Billie by his side, he told
them of bis wanderings,
He had been wounded slightly at
Chs neelleville and was knocked down
by a blow from the musket of a com
rade, who fell near him,
and struck out wildly in his
dying agony, and while

mortally, the confedefaIes advanced
and he was taken prisoner aud sent
to a far southern prison. Had be

aud reach the sea coast, after suffer
ing many privations aud encounter
ing many dangers They took a ship
As seamen in a North Carolina port
managed To run the blockade, and put
to sea. On the fact being discovered
that they were escaped prisoners,
they were delivered over to con
federate privaieer which was spoken
by the ship on which they embarked.
On the privateer which went 10
cruise on the Pacific seas, they Were
com PEELED TO do mental duty and
were cruelty treated.
Just before tho close of the war
they managed to escape upon little
island. Here they lived among the
savages for three years, when whale
ship touched upon the island and took
them off. But alasl it was outward
| bound for a two years cruise in the
southern seas; and it was nearly three
years before they touched at Australia.
/ Just as they were making arrange
ments for coming home by way OF
/ Liverpool, the discovery of some new
gold mines IN the interior attracted
4 them; and they resolved to try their
luck. The result was at first disap-
pointment, poverty, hardship, but
toilipg ON in thu hope of getting
enough TO enable them to return home
they at last struck large deposits OF the
precious metal and soon found them,
Selves rich. He had then left his
partner there, taken his share of the
glittering store and hastened to the
/ United States to look for his relatives,
having but little hope of finding them
alive.
In the city where they resided he
could find nothing of then-as they
had moved into the interior. Finally,
he had been advised to go TO the
pension office at Washington ano
there make inquiry, il any one was
drawing a pension on account of bis
service and death. By that means ht
had found where they were and the
residence of Col. Granger, whom Is
