his engagements with lyCeum bureaus
and lecturing tour managers TO odi-

Herald. No one else could write go

no one else could make. He shows
that it WAS with - web OF golden tress-

1t was the golden hair OF the beautiful

The Dangers OF Mormonfau,.

Any one who ever lived for any great

gentiles found IL to their interest not to
criticise too adversely the autocracy Of

not be "counseled" to refrain from

a man came to his house and told him
that a man had been kicked by, mule

greatest agony and needed the servicesof

THE LAW AS TO TEACHERS.

Frequent inquiries at this office in

Trustees should not overlook the fact
that the law fOrbids q contract with a
teacher who does uOt hold q certificate
to teach, issuea within two years by
the State board OF education or by the
board Of education OF the particular
county in which the teacher is to be
employed
BY neglecting this law teachers and
trustees have gotten themselves into
awkward consequences. person
teaching without a certificate with a
view to standing the examination and
winning a certificate, and then being
able to draw the accumulated salary,
has been moro than once disappointed
in securing certificate and salary. The
only safe course for teacher or trustees
is TO follow the letter OF the law, and
not to attempt to make a contract un-
less at that time tho teacher holds an
up.tO date certificate OF qualifications
recorded and approved by the county
superintendent OF education, whose np.
prOval OF every warrant must be
obtained before any money can be

SUCCESS OF SUNDAY CLOSING

The general success of the effort to
secure the closing of the stores last
Sund ay brings fresh proof of the entire
needl essness of the extra work which
has been entailed apon stOrekeepers
and their clerks for years. Whatever
inconvenience might attend Sunday
closing would be felt, if ever, at once,
and before the improvident buyer had
yet broken himself of the habit of post
poning his necessary purchases until
Sunday morning.
Yet it is not learned that any appre-
ciable proportion of the public suffered
material inconvenience or went hungry.
In general the experiment in Sunday
closing merely succeeded in demonstra-
ting that the open store on the first
day of the week is needless, as well as
oppressive. Once let the custom be-
come fixed and it is very likely that
the only sentiment in the minds of both
buyers and storekeepers will be that
of wonder as to why in the name OF
comfort and common sense it should
not have been inaugurated long ago.
The little care involved in making
all necessary purchases on Saturday is
trifing when compared with the bene-
fits which accrue to hundreds of over
burdened clerks and statesmen through
out the city. After the proofs already
day closing there ought to be no fur
&her question about the matter. - Chi

LADYSMITH.
Boer and British Fighting Big Bat
tie for Her Hand.

The British and Beers have been
fighting for several days between the
Tugela river and Ladysmith.
The British army lies north of the
Tugela river which runs from East to
West. Buffers force is commanded by
Warren on the left, Clery in the center
and Lyttleton on the right.
The Beers are entrenched between
the Tugela and Ladysmith. Their first
line is about two miles from Ladysmith,
and this line is besieging the. place.
The other line on high ridge some
six or eight miles south of Ladysmith,
faces Buffers army.
Buffers aim is to attack this latter
line, and drive it from it's position,
either by direct attack, or flank
movement, and thus relieve Lady
smith.
The Boer force is therefore facing
two ways, and is itself besieged.
Butler began his advance, Saturday,
by flank movement, on the right, or
west end of the Boer line. Gen. War
ren's force attacked the Beers at 600
O'Clock in the morning, and fought
them all day, driving them three miles.
Sunday morning the battle was renew
e and continued all day, the Beers be-
ing driven two miles further. The
fighting was principally with long
i1lorv Tho Rooms haip r
shelled out of their several posi-
tions. But there was enough hard
fighting for the British to lose nearly
400 in killed and wounded in the two
days fighting.
The Beers on Sunday evening had
fallen back to high range of hills,
which is probably their main line, the
| other positions having been occupied
simply to retard the British advance
and develop their movement. If this
is so, the next fighting will be serious
attack on the Boer flank, which will be
stubbornly resisted.
While the fighting has been going on
on the Boer right, the British have de-
| velOped the rest of their line, threaten.
! lag an attack, and holding the Boer
forces in their front, preventing their
sending their re-enforcements to their
| right.
The thanking movement of the Brit
/ i5h may have two-fold object. If sue
cessful it will enable them to reach
Ladysmith on the west, and enable
Whites forces to join Buffers, and
make a combined attack upon the
Beers; or it would enable the British to
cut the Beers off from their forces on
the southwest and enable Butler to re-
ceive re-enforcements from Cape Colony
and threaten the Boer forces at Bloem-
furtaine and Kimberly. The move
ment is evidently designed to separate
the BOer forces at Kimberly and Lady,
smith, and the Beers will doubtless
L AXE a hard fight to defeat Butler.
