Education by Lectures.

ST Louis Republican.
Second TO the daily press, no greater
influence is exercised III the matter of
popular education than by the lecture
platform. Except, perhaps, for its
more limited audience, it might be
graded upon an equality with the
newspaper, and IA somo respects has
IN advantage over the latter which
the printed letter can not boast. A
thing read has always less effect upon
the mind than the spoken word, and
for the reason that the writer does not
enjoy that personal contact with his
readers which the speaker uses with
such mighty influence upon his audi
ence.

HURON WINS THE CAPITOL PRIZE.


HURON, D. T., Nov. 7.-Complete
returns are not all reported yet, but 1t
is now known positively that very
general interest was taken ia Tues
days election on the constitution and
State officers for South Dakota. The
vote was light, but by no means mea>
ger, every county having participated
and casting respectable vote. and
the result is highly satisfactory and
encouraging. The opposition 10 the
constitution rallied their forces and
brought out their vote, which will be
seen to be but a small percentage of
the total vote cast. The constitution
and state movement is given the
boom of popular Endorsement and the
awakened interest leads to hope of
the people of South Dakota that
Congress will be prevailed to admit
the new State this winter.
The result of the vote on the prohi
bition amendment is doubtful, with
the probabilities against it. Minority
representation is defeated. Huron is
chosen as the temporary seat OF gov
eminent by handsome majority over
Pierre, and her citizens are telling
greatly elated. Hsron had done less
campaigning, but more headwork than
Pierre, and the result shows which
town is to-day really the favorite of
the people. The capitol will cause
Huron to grow rapidly and make it
the center Of great activity in political,
real estate, and business circles this
fall and winter. Better times than the
boom period of three years ago are be-
lieve3 to be in store for this ambitious
AID thrifty young city.
FROM HURON.
A dispatch from Hugh Campbell to
whom the returns were sent, concede
that Huron carries the capitol location
by fully 1000. Dispatches from Pierre,
however, still clam the capitol on
the face of the returns, and on estl-
mates. Huron has it, however, with
out doubt, by handsome majority.
A jolli6cation meeting is being held
here tonight.

A Murder For Jealousy.

LOUISVILLE. KY, Dec. 26.-Intelligence reached
here this afternoon Of the killing in Elliott County
of Craig Toliver by Asbury Crisp. Crisp found
Tolver drunk sleeping with his head in the lap Of
his (Crisp's) paramour, and without waiting to
awaken the sleeping man. he shot him with q pis
tol the ball penetrating Tolivers left breast just
over the heart producing Ia mortal wound. Crisp
escaped and is at large. but friends of his victim
securing the country search Of him and
promise him summary punishment if caught. II
is feared this killing will stir up another wal
in Rowan. Toliver is the desperate of Rowan
who led the Toliver faction in their bloody feud
on the Martin faction. The feud lasted for over q
year, during which time half dozen or more men
were killed. The outlawry became fragrant
that no court could sit in the county. and Gov
Knott, after vain attempts to arbitrate matters
sent the State militia into Rowan to hunt down
and bring to justice these desperadoes. After two
months service there, the troops were recalled
Toliver and his principal followers having been
arrested and jailed. In the meantime ToliveI was
taken to Cincinnati to answer indictment OF
robbery. He was tried and acquitted, and few
months since returned to his mountain home.

The New York Tribune, Of the Goth,
Sunday, contains the following about our
distinguished citizen, General Keiier:
Ex-Speaker Keifer, of Ohio, who was here
last week, has not aged perceptibly since he
went out OF Office. He Is stouter and thicker,
perhaps, but though as blunt and direct OF
speech as in the days OF his power at WASH
ington, he hesitates somewhat in talk aud
is not as frank in discussing public matters
as in the old days. Some things that he
said with reference to the suicide Of Barclay
johnson at Greenwich, Conn.,, struck me
torcibly: "Charity impes us 10 say that he
was crazy" he remarked. "Yet there was q
certain method and delibera,ion in his crime
that it is hard to understand in an insane
man. His good reputation shields him to a
certain extent. With man like Guiteau,
| who has always been bad, we are likely to
impute bad motives, and refuse to believe that
he is not judicialy responsible. We do not
preach against suicide enough. We rather
| put premium on 1t. The accients
made it odiuus. There is nothing
| so infamous as this method Of shirking the
| re ;pon nsibilties Of lite. 1t is the rankesi
cowardice that men ever show. The old COM
mon law which decreed that the suicide should
Be buried where the five roads met, with a
pile OF stones over bis body, so that all men
should know his crime and talk of it, was
not far ou, of the way. The man to whose
mind suicide was suggested shrank from the
disgrace. In our day, men think nothing ol
leaving helpless family to battle with q
world in which they are too cowardly tU re.

The Modern Dinner.

There is good deal in the newspa-
pers nowadays about elaborate dinners,
and from the description printed of the
flowers and the glass, the china and the
upholstery that furnish the banquet
boards it might be judged that the
feasts of Lucullus and the famous fes-
tivals of the ancients had no such
splendors as are in the modern dining
rooms of Philadelphia and Washing
ton.
Social entertainment is fine art A
dinner may be made the occasion for q
display of the highest refinement In
the arrangement of the table. the
choice Of the menu. and the selection
of wines there is opportunity to exer-
else great taste, intellectual accomplish
ments, and nice artistic sense. When
the aim is to minister solely to the sem
sual appetite and to crafty barbaric
desire for display, the dinner becomes
only an affair for the uphOlsterer, the
florist, and the caterer; the long purse
and the most vulgar taste will perhaps
give the biggest and best dinner. Too
many of the modern dinners are sim
ply affairs of this land. The host pays
for them and that is all there is of him
about them; he might as well bestow
upon each guest the cost Of his or her
share of it and let them spend it to
their liking.
For instance, bright table talk is
wanting. 1t is being overshadowed by
the other features of "the feed" The
conversation runs solely to the excel
lence of the viands and the age of the
wines They are not regarded as
simply incidental to the feast of reason
and flow of soul. The costliness of the
affair suppresses every sort of enthusi-
asm but that OF admiration for the
wealth and liberality OF Cresus.
The reaction will only come when
the sumptuousness and elaboration of
the present fashionable dinners give
way to palmer forms.
A young man sat down to dinner the
other day with a gentleman worth
$1,000, 600, who had been in public life
for half a century, who had counseled
with presidents and dined with kings.
They had beefsteak, boiled potatoes,
milk and pie. The next day he was in
vited to dine with Solomon Shoddy,
who in his rise from the position of
scullion to one of opulence had learned
nothing. There were thirteen courses
and nine kinds of wine, the best that
money could buy.
And yet the little dinner was the best,
even for guest who knew not dyspep-
sia and had no dread of indigestion. -

The other afternoon a gentleman on
returning to his home in North st.
Louis found that his family were out
calling and that the two servant girls
with the kitchen door barricaded were
In a great state of trepidation. They
said that drunken man had rung the
bell and when they opened the door,
had staggered up the stairs and entered
the best bedroom, from which his snores
could even then be heard issuing with
appalling sonorousuess. The gentle
man waited to hear no more, but
bounding up the stairs pounced upon
the intruder, whose breath was per-
fnming the rich tapestry and carpets Of
the elegantly furnished room. He was
surprised to see in the sleeper we'll
dressed man, and his curiosity excited
him to discover the mans identity be-
fore putting him out. After consider
able shaking and punching the stranger
was sufficiently aroused to grunt out
his name, which proved that he was o
prominent merchant, whose fine resi-
dence adorns a street in the western
portion of Che city.

On Tuesday, March II. the Oldest
daughter of the Prince Of Wales, the
Princess Louise, made her debut in So
ciety. From the Court Journal of March
q, sent to Springfield lady by a
thoughtful friend in London, and handed

the side of her mother, the Princess Of
Wales, at the recent Drawing Room,
and very bright and sweet she looked in a
dress OF rich simplicity, the principal en-
bellshment of which were masses of real
lilies OF the valley. This simplicity was

princess wore-namely, a special family

strangers to the Throne Room at once to
Her Majesty, were worn. but some very
beautiful ornaments OF jet the diadem

most becoming she has yet worn. Even
