The horticultural advance 20 be male

ably be most beneficial. especially in
country villages. is 10 90 outside of our
individual premises and to take more
interest in the streets. the school
grounds. the churchyards. the cemc-
teries. the public squares or parks. the
railway stations. grounds of public
buildings. and others of this nature.
Some may think it is enough for each
to sweep before his own door-yard; but
this can not be true. for there is mani
testify \ public duty in this respect to
be discharged if we would give horti-
culture the scope that naturally belongs
to it. Now. what is every body's duty
is n~obody's. and unless some public
spirited persons will take the lead it is
evident nothing will be done. Is it
necessary to bring forward here the
mercenary motive Of increased value of
individual real property to enforce this
thought? W. trust not. though it may
go where it will have its influence.
How are these Improvements to be
male? In the first place they are
to be made in the minds of those
who desire them; a number Of
persons should be interested. the more
the better. but some one must first
think about them. desire them and de-
to work for them. and must
interest Others in the subject. Let one
thing be undertaken ut Il time. and that
one which in most cases will elicit the
greatest sympathy and aid will be the
of the school grounds.
This should be nicely furnished with

be screened from sight by proper tree

"No. thank you, Mr.. Kane, but powerful

skeert."
No wonder that the service rendered
should make Kitty regard Peter with favor,
and give him romantic interest in the pretty
CIR. whom his timely presence had preserved
from cruel death. Ignoring the buck. Peter
walked on with Kitty, escorting bert to with
in sight OF her fathers house, IN then re-
turning to q dwelling, which, in spite Of his
dogs and his hired people, seemed more
lonely than ever.
'They met by chance, the usual way,''
again and again, and the old story, ever old
and ever new, was told and listened to.
Peter neglected the suit he had brought in
one court, to prosecute a suit in another,
and when the great case Of Kane serxMx Abel
came up before the County Court, Kane was
absent bent on a final verdict in another
suit, one of more importance, with a jury of
one biased in his favor.
The fame Of this cause, the importance of
the points involved, and the antagOnism of
the parties, brought a large cOncOurse to
the county town. The day Of the trial no
living being could be seen; every one was
in the courthouse. But horses there were
every where, t.thered to posts, pickets,
pOrch-pOsts and h swinging limbs of trees
horses Of all kinds from the humble clay
bank farm drudge to the melted and
bloOded roadster, and with q variety Of sad
dies and brides, not all saddled, however,
which was wonderful to see. A deal of
whisky had been furnished in the morning,
but not even the charms of corn Juice could
keep the mountaincers outside Of the court
house, which was filed with . dense mass
of auditors.

Washington. a notorious colored offender.
The T. A. B. was disposed of BY Q confes-
sion Of judgment and light fine. and after
an hours trial, the scion Of the Washington
family got three months Imprisonment II
the county Jail. Then came the civil calen-
dar, and the case of Kane sersus Abel was
called.
1t was a battle between the clans, and tho
movements were watched with Keen inter-
est by the spectators, made up Of those con-
nected in some way with the parties litigant.

A Father shoots His Son.

ADA, Mich, April 24.-Nicholas Benncr, an
sged man and farmer living in the town Of
Winchester, this county, shot and killed his
son John, aged twenty-three, this morning.
The boy had been out IN the fields seeding
and came to the house to get drink Of water.
AS lie came near the house the old man put
his head out of the up stairs window and told
the boy not to come one step nearer the house
or be would kill him. The boy said he wanted
drink Of water, and the old man allowed him
to come in. After getting into the house
he thought he would go up stairs and try aud
quiet the old man. As he started up the
stairs the old man came to the head OF tie
stairs and pointing the gun at the boy told
him not to come up or he would shoot him.
The boy thought the cid man would not shoot
and Kept going up step BY step, at the same
time demonstrating with the old man, and
Just as he reached the top step the old man
shot off the gun with the above result. Some
neighbors heard the report and came to the
house. John Roech, the first man who
reached the house, found the boy .Gead. TIL,
only persons In the house at the time of the
shooting were 4Irs Benncr aud her daughter
They say that they had been having trouole
with the old man before the boy came in from
the field. The old man has acted very queer
for the last three or four years, and the peo-
pie In his ncighborhood and in this city have
thought for some time past that he was in
sane. Coroner +. 7. koyl has just returned
from the scene Of the murder, and says that
the boy was shot with a charge of nine buck
| shot, taking effect in the abdomen three inches
to the right and one inch below the naval.
Sheriff Lee arrested Benner and brought him
totown tonight. The old man talks grea,
deal and says that he sorry he is shot the boy,
but that he thinks lie served him right.

any they have yet received. 1t is to be re-
gretted that the demands which their various
occupations make upon the men are SO great

PATRIOTISM IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Both Superintendent Draper. of the State
Department OF Public Instruction. and Prcsi-
dent Simmons, Of the Board of Education of
this city. refer with some anxiety to the fact
that our common school system is not suiil-
GENTLY favored with patriotism. Little is done
in the school-room to stimulate patriotic sentl-
ment. The history of the United States occu-
pies too small place In the average course of
study. The peculiar institutions of the coun-
. try, those which In SO marked manner dis
tnguish its government from all others that
are or have been, are not presented to The
pupils mind with proper flllness or clear
ness. They are not enabled to draw those
sharp and gratifying contrasts between the
POLITICAL and social advantages enjoyed by every
man in America, no matter what may be his
station or his wealth, with the meagre oppor-
tunities TO be obtained in lands oppressed by
institutions evolved from the fcudal system
Unless the public schools teach their pupils
to be good citizens they fail in their first and
most obvious duty. The theory upon which
they were established was that they would
afford the Republic its surest guarantee of per-
mancncc Their efficiency in this respect in
the past is to be read in the biography of the
country's eminent men. 1t is proved in the
standard of general intelligence among the
people. higher than that of any other nation.
and in their amazing record of intellectual and
material progress. The war gave final and
magnificent demonstration of the fact that this
Is land of patriots. and it is impossible to
conceive of any crisis which the self-reliaIt
courage of the people would not meet and over
come without the slightest shock to the Con-
stitution that proclaims their sovereignty.
But they cannot afford TO permit the educa-
tional system which has been so potent an
instrument Of good to lose any Of its American
spirit. There Is undoubtedly some danger
that such misfortune will overtake it. espec-
iaf}y in the large cities. The sphere Of its
efforts has gradually been widening until it
Is now essaying to perform the work OF an
academy, and in some places 1t even strives
to produce IN annual class Of college-bred
mechanics. 1t has no time to teach young
people the science of republican form OF
government no time to devote to the general
recitation of tho masterpieces OF American
oratory. Few boys nowadays know anything
of the proceedings of the Continental Congress,
Of how the early State Constitutions were
formed. Of tho movement which led to the
Philadelphia assembly where after weeks of
weary labor the "morc perfect union" was at
last established.
There was time when the boy who could
not repeat the Declaration of Independence by
heart was looked upon with general pity as abb
normally deficient in memory. Patrick IIenry's
