Superintendent Vigness gives school
board members OF the county the fol-
lowing warning that might save con-
siderable needless expense for rural
schools if it is promptly needed:

that certain person is canvassing
in Burleigh county among the school

fancy price
"Other counties have had expert
ences with unknown chart vendors
OF this sort that resulted seriously,
both for the school officers who had
dealings with this proposition, and
also for the vender. In one county
an agent was bound over to the court
for attempting to raise a schoo! war
rant which he had received in pay
ment of charts he had sold.
II have not seen his chart and do
not know anything about it, but I
know that if the school boards will
give it wide berth and use the same
amount of money for other things
really needed in their schools, they
will not feel afterwards that they
have been "stung." If any directors
have bitten" l shs Ill be glad to help
them out if they will just inform me
before making the payment to this

A Cuban, supposedly wealthy and suspected of revo-

back of LambertS Point undergoing RI
clash with the Monitor, and the Federal
fleet, which comprised nearly twenty
vessels, was lined up from Fort Mon
roe out to the Ripraps, covering
the landing of General George B.
Mcclellan army of nine thousand men
at Yorktown Rear Admiral Colds
borough was in command of the fleet,
and his flagship was the Minnesota.
The plan of ramming the Merrimac
with one of our four ships was carefully
prepared. 1t was arranged that the
little Monitor, which could be handled
very quickly, while her ironclad rival,
on account of her much greater length
and deeper draft, was slow and cum
bersome in her movements, was to adj
vance at the first favorable opportunity
and surround the Merrimac with a
cloud of thick smoke. Under cover of
this protecting curtain one of the four
steamers was to rush forward at full
speed and smash into the Merrimac
amidships Either one of us would
have cut her in two. A week after our
arrival the Merrimac came out and
stood three miles away, where she had
room to maneuver, and plenty of water,
which she needed, as she drew twenty
three feet, silently challenging our
whole fleet.
Commodore Tattnall s impressive de-
fiance was repeated for two hours every
day for more than week; but the
anxiously looked for signal to advance
was never hoisted on the Minnesota.
All of us on the Illinois were ambitious
to win the honor that would come from
sinking the naval star of the Confeder-
acy. The Vanderbilt was faster ship
than ours; but we always kept a little
in front of the line, SO we should be first
away when the expected signal was
broken out. The sides of the Illinois
were sloshed with oil until they shone
like bottle, and if we had ever hit
the Merrimac we should have gone
clear through her without scratching
our paint.
But we watched in vain for the signal
that would have given us chance to
make the Illinois famous. Admiral
Goldsborough was the most cautious
and conservative American have ever
known There is no doubt that he
had orders from Washington not to
force a fight with the Merrimac; but
no man who does not know when and
how to disobey orders ought ever to
attain flag rank in the United States
navy, especially in time of war.
Finally, when the Confederates
evacuated Norfolk, the Merrimac was
blown up off Craney Point, early in the
morning of May 10, 1862, as her draft
made it impossible to take her up the
James River to Richmond. To prevent
the Federals from raising and repairing
her, she was literally blown to pieces,

McClellan's army thought was an
earthquake. | was on the bridge at
