The School Book Monopoly.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
OF the various ills with which the Indiana
body-politic has suffered, none has been more
grevous or borne less complainingly than the
school book monopoly. To touch anything con-
nected with the school system is considered
sacrilegious So that the public, year in and year
out, makes its regular contribution to these
foreign monopolists hardly daring to raise a
voice against the iniquity, for fear of charge of
hostility to the public schools and through it all
these foreign publishers are the chief beneficial
res Does it ever occur to the average fond parent
when he steps up to the agent of these monopo-
lists and meekly submits to their arbitrary die
tations that he is buying the highest priced liter
AZURE to be had in the State? The puerle silli
ness, which finds market only in the common
school readers, when printed, bound and in
dorsed by school board, commands greater
price than the writings of the most learned and
celebrated authors of the day; it matters not
in what field of letters they may write nor in
what channel their productions reach the public.
The series is introduced into the public schools
through the medium of a board of education and
book agent the price fixed by the publisher,
and the public compelled to buy at any arbitrary
rate chosen. In the selection Of books to be
used, the number to be bought or the price TO be
paid, the purchaser has no voice. He is not con-
suited as to ability, expense or eXpediency. The
board and foreign monopoly commands; he
obeys.
This might all be endurable if it were not for
the unconscionable prices, not asked but de-
manded Take the Eclectic series as sample

The Thirteenth Regiment.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The Journal makes a slight mistake in it's
issue of to-day. The Thirteenth Regiment
Indiana Volunteers (Old Guard), left Camp
Sullivan on the 4th day OF July, 1861, instead
of the 18th. We fought the battle of Rich
Mountain on the 18th. The Thirteenth was
commanded at that time by Colonel Jere Sulli-
van.
The force that marched to the rear of the
rebel works was under the command of General
W. S. Rosecrans. The name "Old Guard" was
given the Thirteenth by Governor Morton.

and halted, seeming to realize the turn
affairs had taken. The sergeant,
knowing the Johnnies would be down
on us as soon as they saw our numbers,
but determined not to return without
the Captains body, dead OF alive, put
a good man III the saddle and sent him
to camp for relief. we pushed on
over the field until we reached the
Captains dead body. He had been
shot through the heart. Virgil Ellis
berry, now resident of Matiok, Linn
county, and myself-I being unarmed
gathered hold OF the body to carry
it. They were firing at US quite sharp,
but the Captain was a very small man
and we hung on to him, while the ser
geant and bis ten men held the Rcbs
in check and we succeeded in getting
the body to the wagon. They didn't
follow US clear to the wagon, but re-
turned through the field TO get their
horses, and were soon down upon us
again, and began pumping it into us
at lively rate. We kept up a run
ming fight for about two miles, when
we were met by detachment coming
to our relief. ~.
THAT is the way Capt. Cue was
killed, just as many another gallant
soldier met his death. by a deceitful

man, a popular officer and gallant
soldier. His loss was perhaps more
keenly felt, for, being under orders to

one-eighth of the people who die in

list. Their condition is not such as to

It is evident that people who lnain-

WHY IS IT SOP

Some find work where some find rest,
And SO the weary world goes on;
sometimes wonder which is best
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake,
And so the dreary night-hours go;
Some hearts beat where some hearts break
often wonder why tits so.
Some hands fold where other hands
Are lifted brayely in the strife;
And so through ages as through lands
Move on the two extremes of life. ssr
Some feet halt while some feet tread,
In tireless march, thorny way;
Some struggle on where some have fed;
Some seek. when others shun the fray.
Some sleep on while others keep
The Tigils Of the true and brave;
They will not rest till roses creep
Around name above grave. a.

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense Of
weight in the back, loins and lower part OF
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are present, fatuleney, uneasiness of
the stomach. etc. A moisture, like perspira-
tion, producing very disagreeable itching,
after getting warm, is q common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at
once to the application of DR.. Bosanko,s Is Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts
affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the
intense itching, and effecting a permanent
cure. Price SO cents. Address, The Dr.. Bo-

Prof. Adler ON Parental and
ESfliaI DUTY. ..--

Prof. Felix Adler, in the course oi
a lecture said that the gift Of children
tended 10 moral elevation, The man
who desired to see bis children grow
up better than himself would not fail
to improve his own fife and character,
so as to set them good example. If
parent sought to curb the angry
| passions of a child, that parent would
most carefully guard against any ebu-
litioB of, temper, such as would set an
evil example. If it was sought to
have the children avoid slander, no
encouragement at the table or in the
parlor should be given to those who
meet only to rend their neighbours
charactc. A void would be the fcasts
of those moral cannibals who feed
upon the regulations of others. 4
The moral nature and individuality
of children, Prof. Adler continued,
should be carefully studied and re-
spected. They are, it is trne, bone Of
our bone and flesh of our flesh, but
we are only the channels through
which the river Of life is transmitted
to them. Some parents make a point
of trying to mould their children into
reproductions of themselves. But
every child has right to its own in.
diyiduality. For instance, if Il boy
shows q talent for art il is "a grave
question whether it be wise for the
boys father to say: "Oh, don't
want my boy to be a painter; ! mean
for him to be lawyer" Or, again, n
youth shows an intense passion for
study, but d friend of the father has
an opening in his counting house, and
80 the instincts of genius are sacrificed
to the dollar Thus the individuality
of that life is destroyed and the par.
ticular message with which it was ell
trusted to deliver to the world is lost.
In conclusion, the speaker dweIt
upon the reverence and love due from
children to their parents. AS An in
stance of filial devotion he cited the
case Of the young fireman who lost
his life at the fire in College Place,
New York, As he fell from the lad
der to the cebonnd pavement below
he was heard to excIaim "Oh, my
poor motllcrP' His one thought IN
that dreadful moment was for his
mother. How .many men were there
whose heads were gray and the tom

the remembrance Of the father who
had guided and trained their steps in
their earlier years, and the mother
whose tender care had never beea
