Dakota Letter in Modern Miller.
About two weeks ago / saw farmer out be-

on them. Yesterday saw this same man sell

he had bound their hides with an old Buffalo

swore these were the cattle had seen him kick
ing together behind the straw-stack. He said all
they had eaten was some wild grass that had
sprung up IN his door-yard, where the women
folks had thrown few tubs of warm soapsuds
on wash days. He said that he had learned that
the best way to winter stock In Dakota was to
knock them to pieces in the fall and set them up
again, as wanted, otherwise, unless we get biz
card every week, they were liable to get too fat
and round on the native grass.

The Mutual Admiration of Authors.

1t would be very pleasant to think that every
magazine has Washington Irving among its es-
sayists, and Longfellow, Whittier and Tenny-
son among its poets. Il would be delightful to
think that at every writer's rural home the foot
path from his porch to mis- potato patch is as full
of literary associations as Addison's Walk, and
that the porch itself is a Bendemere's bewer.
Yet, as the children say, there is rather too
much make believe in it. When one modern
poet says to another NOW, you play Shaks-
peare. and make believe am Milton and so on;
it is very well among themselves, but those out
side the circle are apt to think it a s'most La

cancies have already been filed. The
number to be dismissed is thought to
be twenty-six at present, to which
number more or less will be added
by the expiration of the month.
Since Mr.. McConville has been the
Sixth Auditor, there have been up
ward of eighty discharges in his Office
and the twenty-six or more yet to be
made will bring the total up to over
one hundred and Ska third of the
entire force. This is by far the best
record of dismisals yet made in the
department.
Last week, Mr.. Hoar, of Mass, SUBJ
mitted a resolution proposing a con-
stitutional amendment to provide
that the term of the Presidents Office
and of the next Congress shall be pro-
longed until the last Tuesday of April
1889 at midday the Senators whose
present terms would otherwise expire
on March 18th, 1889 shall continue in
office until noon of the last Tuesday
in April succeeding such expiration.
The last Tuesday of Aprilshall there
fore be substituted for the 4th of March
as the beginning and ending of the
official term of the President, Vice
President, Senators, and Representa-
tives in Congress.
The most noteworthy social events
during the past week were the two
receptions given by the President
and his wife, the first being a card
reception to the Army, Navy, Diplo-
mats, and other officials, the last to
the general public on Friday evening,
which was probably the largest re-
ception ever held at the White House
No other announcement was made
than the one in the daily papers, and
in these the hours named were from
nine till eleven, but, at that hour
there was such line of eager faces
anxious to shake hands with the
President and his bride, that Mr.
Cleveland sent word that he would
see them all if it took until daybreak
This was the lastreception Mrs. Cleve
land will hold until the opening O.
the next season and until then she
will be at home only to her personal
friends.

THE following paragraph from the
Knoxville Tribune indicates the
source of most of the opposition to
Judge Snodgrass. i.st tl
"The Republican bosses and Re
publican newspapers continue to kick
against Judge Snodgrass. Well, let
'em kick. The Democrats did not
nominate him to please the Republi-
cans. He will be elected by 10000
majority without receiving Repub-
lican vote"
The little feeling against Judge
Snodgrass among East Tennessee
Democrats is rapidly disappearing,
and we feel satisfied that he will car
ry the full Democratic strength of
East Tennessee in August.

THE Tennessee Press Association
will meet in annual session at Mont
eagle on Tuesday, July 18th. An
earnest effort is being made by the
officers of the Association to have a
large attendance at this meeting, with
view to full discussion and intelli-
gent action upon some practical bust
ness matters of vital Importance to
every publisher in the State. Mr.. A.
j. Grigsby, of the esprit of the
Farm" Nashville, one of the most
courteous and genial newspaper men
we ever knew, is exerting every
energy to make this prominently a
business session, and every publisher
in the State who can possibly do so
should be present. There are several
matters upon which concert of ac-
ton is needed, and attendance upon
this meeting will be both time and
money well spent. A more pleasant
or interesting place could not be found
to hold the meeting than Monteagle,
and we wish the editor or publisher
of every paper in the State could be
there. We believe that good results
will flow from themeeting, and hope
to see the largest attendance the As
ISOLATION has ever had.

We did not have the pleasure last
Monday of hearing the speech of Capt.
Burnham, candidate for Chancellor,
but we learn from some who were
present, that about the only reasons
he gave why he thought he ought to
be elected, were, that Judge Hancock
rode on free pass over the railroads
in his district, and that Mr.. Bearden
had acted as an attorney for the rail-
roads in several important suits. That
a railroad company should employ
Mr.. Bearden but proves his compe-
tency to fill the position, as they al
ways employ the best talent. AS to
Judge Hancock's riding on free
pass, we would simply state that that
is courtesy extended to all Judges,
Legislators, Governors, etc., by the
road as a recognition of their position
and not for the purpose of bribing
them. We believe there are but few
who do not accept and use these
passes when rendered them. Further,
we do not believe any honest man
could be bought with free pass, and
we would not vote for any man for
Judge or Legislator who does, for
fear he might be measuring other
peoples corn in his own half-bushel.

To the Pupils of Our Schools.

To the Standard:
Iwish to call yourattention to some
thing that will interest you if you
will look attentively at the sky, next
Sunday night, and next Monday
night.
On these two nights the two planets,
Mars and Jupiter, will be near each
other. AS some people may say,
"they will beonlyafew inches apart"
At the time mentined, if you will
look at that part of the sky where the
sun is at about 2 o'clock p. M, you
will see Mars and Jupiter near each
other. By watching them from night
to night, you will observe that they
get farther and farther apart. By
such observation you will be induced
to inquire into the causes why they
separate, and thus you will be led to
inquire into the causes of Other things.
You will do well to make a note of
this; write down in your note book
the time and place of seeing these two
planets, and in two years, that is, in
July 1888, when another Presidential
election will be on hand, you will
again see these two planets near each
4 other.
Here / wish to say that many boys
and girls who have been my pupils,
dislike to write, for fear that some
person will laugh at their errors in
grammar and spelling. This is a
false delicacy. Every little boy and
girl should have a note book, and
write something in it every week
Many children in this county attend
school only three months in year,
and many of them never take a pen
in their hand from the time they
leave school until they return tc
school. The consequence is, they for.
get nearly all that they have learned
about writing.
Little boys and girls, let me give
you little of my own experience.
Fifty years ago, knew boy who
was about a year older than l was
His father was poor man and mis-
cradle drunkard. The boys in school
often laughed at his old clothes and al
his mistakes. Here are two of his
mistakes. In writing the word "sys
tenn" he spelled it "s-c-i-s-t-i-m.'
In writing the word "coffee," hi
spelled it "kaugh-phy." Ten years
, ago, on my way to the Centennial
called on this very boy. He was ther
Judge and one of the finest lawyers
in Northern New York. He owned
a beautiful residence in a beautiful
village. l examined several of hi
papers, and / found that they wer,
written with perfect. accuracy and il
a beautiful hand. | saw some of tn,
boys who once laughed at the Judge
mistakes, carrying brick and morta
for building and others beating rocl
to repair the streets.
Little boys and girls, | close by say
ing, write something every day, anC
let all laugh who wish to laugh.
