A TEA0HER,S LIVE

Atchison Champion: The Champion
has never published an article which
found more favor than tribute paid by
the editor to the teacher of his bOyhood,
MASTER Ibbens, of Brownsville, Penn
sylvania. Testimonials to the truth of
the sketch, and thanks for its publica-
ton came from numerous and unexpect-
ed quarters. While we never knew the
teacher who seems to have lived aud la.
bored so worthily In Rochester, We copy
from the Democrat and Chronicle the
following, which tells what a teacher
has been, and SO is an incentive to every
teacher to strive for what he may be:
There died, yesterday, In this city, one
whose quiet habits hardly called forth
more note or comment than when the
gentle "Vicar OF Wakefield" moved
from the room to the broWn-one who
pursued 1.-The even tenor of his way" IN
heralded by acclaims and unnoticed by
the throng; man of singuIArly reticent
manners and undemonstratIve in his as
sociations, but a man devoted from his
youth to one of the MODEST professions,
and etfectuallY, vet unaffactedly,
following it. He was man OF liberal
education, and teacher of the young.
How persuasive was his influence and
how great his usefulness during the
score of years he has moved among this
people none may estimate Seemingly
without ambition, he was inspired with
the highest ambition-that of train
ing and moulding the minds of
the rising generation Unobtru-
siVely and yet grandly, he labored
NaFh onA 81
knew him best knew how supreme was
his conservation. His was a modest life,
and yet q most exalted one. 1t reaches
back through the years that have been
and forward through the years that are
to be. More prominent and weather.,
and more gifted citizens of Rochester
have passed away than William H. Bos-
worth; but there have been fewer worth
Ter or more useful meR than was he.

THE INAUGURATION BALL.


The action of the executive committee
of the Inauguration ceremonies at Wash
ington. in designating the Baltimore s.
Ohio ticket offices in the principal cities
east and west, as special repositories for
the sale of Inauguration ball tickets, can
not but prove of great advantage, as here
fore tickets could not be obtained for the
ball until after arrival at the national
capital. Everybody knows where the B.
s. o. officers are IN the leading cities:
SO Clark street, in Chicago; n. High
street. in Columbus; 173 Walnut street,
Cincinnati; 1856 s Illinois street, in H.
dianapolIs; 10l N. 4th street, IN ST.
Louis; 152 W. Baltimore street, in Bal
timore. Letters relstive 70 the ball tick
els addressed To the B. & o. ticket agent
at any OF the addresses given, or TO

ky, Cumberland or Frederick, will re-
ceIVe prompt attention. at the offices
named. those. who desire can purchase.

their railroad tickets; while these who
msy wasn't them as souvenirs do not have
TO send to Washington for them Pre-
paratIOus for the Inauguration ceremon
les are being carried forward with the
determination TO make them memorable.
The Baltimore s. Ohio as the only d.
rect line from the west into Washington,
has extended every facility to the execu-
tive and other committees in so shaping
matters as to bring about complete sue
cess IN every particular. The B & o.
has ann 'unced the lowest rates ever
made for an Inauguration, in most in
stances less than hall. fare for the round
trip, with limit on the tickets OF the
most satisfactory length. By the
B. s. O.'s recently put on fast
train schedule. its noted limited
trains make the runs through tc
Washington, from ali points, from one
to SIX hours quicker than any of the
limited trains on other lines. Not a
nickel extra is charged for the fsst ,ime
which Is directly to the contrary of the
rule followed by other lines with theil
limited trains. for upon them double
fare is the only way one can travel, and
must take sleeping cars through. whether
wishing so 20 do or not. On the B & o
one exercises the good old American Gus
tom OF going as he pleases. Trains Iur
through solid, no change OF cars Of am
class, and pay only for what is asked TO
NOT 3 cent more. no matter what MAJ
be the custom on other lines. All thes,
things are well worth considering beior

THE NORMAL ENDOWMENT
FUND

Senator Kellogg has very wisely III
troduced the following bill to Increase
the endowment of the s. ate Normal
school. We trust the bill Will pass:
An act to further endoW the State Nor
NAL school Be IL enacted by the leHis-
laIure of the state of Kansas:
Section /. That the remaining twelve
sections of land owned by the state, out
of the seventy-twO sections granted TO
the state by the fourth subdivision OF
the third section OF an act of congress,
entitled IAN act for the admission of
Kansas into the Union" approved jan
uAry 90, 1851, known as the salt spring"
sections, or on which the twelve salt
springs are designated or located, as
mentioned ia said grant, be and the
same are hereby granted and set apart as
further endowment to- the State Nor
NAL school upon the same terms, condi-
lions and restrictions applicable to other
lands heretofore granted to said school.
Sec. q This set shall take effect and
be in force from aud after its publics-
ton in the official state paper.
Upon thus bill the following action
was taKen by the committee:
Mr.. PRESIDENT: Your committee on
education. to whom was referred senate

CIarkson comes Back At Lexa,e

Dies MONIES, Iowa, Jan. 25.-In reply
to Legale's statement sent in these dIs-
patches last night, Mr.. j. s. Clarkson
says: This is a contradiction OF the two
statements that LegaIe has made 10 the
st. Louis Republican, and Is nearer the
truth. 1t denies his own and St. Johns
statements that they had had no confer
ence on the matter. II confesses WITH
ally the collision and the amount ST.
John asked. It shows 81. John was will
ing u be hired to leave OHIO and hired
not 10 90 to New York. Legate never
said word TO me about money being
seat to the Republican committee in
Kansas nor do believe
he did to any one else. for l
have meyer heard OF 1t until now. 1 do
not know who he means by his frIeni in
ONO, unless it Is Senator Plumb, as it
Was the latter who gave HIM the letter
oil introduction TO me. 1t will be seen
the letter contIadlcts st John in nearly
every instance, especially Ia ST Johns
denials that he had had no sore throat,
that he did not change any of his ap
pOintmenls in Ohio; ne never though
III leaving OHIO, or OF not going to New
York, and he meyer thought OF such q
thing as changing his course 10 suit or
serve the Republicans. Indeed
INC 4SIiOT OI Le&dte Is q
virtual confession of the truth OF
the stat, ment have made, except that
he suppresses facts as TO his receiving the
letter from st. John that he read to me
and KErens and that he see Ks to make 1t
appear the money was TO goTto Kansas
Republicans and that the national Re-
publican committee had consented TO
send S25 600 to that certain state when
il had not enough money TO use In the
doubtful states. 1t shows Legate was
acting in collision with st John, that
he did get him out of Ohio and indeed,
1t proves practically all that has been
charged and that ST. John under
stood it all. The only material
difference made by Legste is in
his strained and insincere statement
that the money was being sought for
the partY's benefit instead of st. Johns
personal benefit. Kansas Republicans
would have been the last to accept
money that the national committee need
ed so much in its doubtful states.
In another week hope and believe
Legate will take another long step for
ward and tell the rest of the facts and
give TO the public the letters OF st. John
to confirm ii all. 1t will be seen he no
longer contends his printed letters are
fOrgeries, but admits them and tries to
explain them. The letter he wrote me
after returning to Kansas was not mark
ed confidential, as he says. end did not
allow it to be printed until after was
compelled to do it by statements that he
made in the interviews in the st. LOUIS
