A ATenncssce correspondent of the Coa-
'-;e--Jouraal advosates Com pulsory Edu-
cation thusly; The State should make
provision for the education Of all her por-
ulation, and then make education com.
pl1sory. Those who would leave this
duty to parental instinct alone, fearful
that government may gather into its
hands too many Of the private and per-
sonal rights of the individual, forget that
it does absolutely interfere to protect the
child against the negligence Of The parent.
The line where private right ceases and
public duty begins is not, and can not be
clearly defined. The State has always in
terfered to make the parent feed and
clothe the child. What jeopardy of our
private rights can conc of making him
educate it? These duties are essentially
Of like grade, dignity and character.
Statute law intcriercs TO shield the child
from the improvidence of the testator, and
he can no longer ''cut him off with
Il shilling" True, the parent may make
his will, but he is restricted in this exer-
else to the extent that certain of his prop
erty shall go to the little children; prop
erty exempt by the State to their benefit
and bchoof. Is the bs,iy-of the Child



worth more to society than its immortal
soul? If cares for the zone it must care
for the other. The feeding. clothing and
training of the child are properly left to
to the instinct of natural affection, but
where this virtue is wanting the State says
''you shall Is this a trespass on private
rights: If yea, ;hop has the State been
always a trespasser; if nay, then neither
is compulsory education trespass.
This sort of "compulsion' is nothing new
in theory, but only in application. The
Stat, compels the performance Of each
and every Of those private duties with
which education is especially homogene-
Gus. The State has need of all her chill
dren. She conpels them to train as SOL
diers; let the training commence where
it will avail most. The better the edu-
cation the better the citizen, the better
the saldicr. The spirit of Leonidas lives
again in him whose hear; g,ows over the
historic memories of Thermopyl'e and of
Marathon. There are now and then ex-
ceptions tn the rule exceptions OF rare
physical courage-but, as general thing
in republican government no ignorant
man makes good soldier. He knows
nothing to emulate. Frederic the Great
lived in vain if the lesson he taught the
world a hundred years ago-a lesson
which establishes that the invaded as
fifteen to one before he can hope 10 con-
quer-is no, studied as an example.


Withal, compulsory education works
hardships for no one. To the parent who
is willing to educate bis children, the law
Is in effect a dead letter, for mo law
touches man whore the man is higher
than tie law An educated conn ar;@-
furnishes protection To The Uealtfyws
mere question ofeccnomy they should see
to it that the poor are oducated But il
fear of taxation or il a morbid greed of
gain has blinded the rich to their own in
terests and the States, let the poor men
become the champions of this policy.
They are everywhere the msiority--they
do the largest share of votng--lsi them
say TO the State; My child fights your
battles; educate him.

gigantic mind. while only thinking Of, caring for, and keeping mp the treasures of earth. you see what he really is. To study man on the Darwinian hypothesis, as Icing low in origin, short in duration, and only limited to time, is a defamation of his character, falsifcation of the truth, and bold attempt to pull him down from his cxccllency, that he may sppear to be only "of the earth, earthly" Such q vague idea no more meets the aspirations and cravings of an undying nature within, than it agrees with revelation. No theory presents the true greatness of humanity, which stops short of immortality. Instead of Leholding him pass, as the fading gleam of falling meteor, to the horizon of vision, then disappear forever; prefer to look upon the true man, as star to rise and set, not in endless night, to slumber forever; but to set and rise in other skies, to shine in uneclipsed glory long As the ages of worlds mark the calendar of eternity.

 0 man, learn thy relation 10 myself and God, to time and eternity, and wisely use what is, in preparing for what Is 10 be! May the eternal God be thy confidence. His ser. vice thy delight, and His glory thy fadeIes, crown. C. \. k.

HE CHIxEsE IN PERU. - The Peruvian Government has ordered the National Guards to remain under arms in anticipation of dis turbance between the laborers and the Chi nese. A large number Of Chinanen have been imported to Lima and the result there, as everywhere, has been an antagonistic feel ing aroused among the native laborers of the country. The only tangible property that the poor man has in any country is his claim to labor Work Is to him and hs family bread. To import servile labor and deprive him of it, is to steal from him his only means of support. He must starve or resist. It is the logical result of Chinese immigration to produce riot and bloodshed. If riots occur those who encourage this immigration are alone responsible.

zeal and energy the great majority of the


German papers are fighting for unbound
ed liberty to get DRINK and for entire


impunity from the fearful effects of this
dire vice.


Every reader Of the Pointer knows
| that our good countryman CaTl Heinzen


is rather coarse, SON et1mes even perfect
| ly rude, but the same time he often hits
the nail on the head, telling the unvar-
nished, often unpleasant truth. We copy
| the following from his Pon1er and will
only remark that whoever itches, may
scratch -


''The Germans in general are political
slnggards, they are just as sluggish in
politics as they are diigent in the beer
house. If they would form radical
party taking up every appropriate ques-
ton OF reform into their programme,
they might wipe out priest-craft as well
as temperance humbug. But to induce
them to do SO is an impossibiity. The
masses are too stupid anc too lazy, their
newspapers and local politicians too cor
rupt and vulgar, waiting everywhere to
grab for the offals of the old parties.-
Before they arise, they must 'tfeel the
heel on their neck" and whenever they
do arise, all their belated efforts will
probably prove fruitless, because by their
slothfulness and blindness not OILY have
their enemies become invincible, but by
their stupidity and rudeness they have
thrust off their best alies-the American
women and the Radicals.


OF this Chicago is now presenting
striking example. There the entire Ger
man element is unit. Everything is in
beautiful harmony, frey zeal and energy.
The watchword is the common holy war
against the Temperance men, who want
to close the Beer houses at Ii o'clock at
night Thereby all kinds of bombastic
phrases are used and the most ideal aims
proposed. It is not for the sake of Beer
oh by no means. It is for something
higher: individual liberty, inviolability
of the Constitution, universally of hu-
man rights. ALI empty sounds and lies.
After all it is only for the Beer, beer
alone, nothing but beer. Those who
were heretofore obtuse and repulsive to
every agitation of principles, but there
bo always thirsty, need not try to con-
vince any one, that they have at once be-
come the defenders of single principle
where their thirst is SO materially at stake.
For Beer the Germans in Frankfort
raised rebellion, for Beer they become
the defenders of human rights in Chica-
go. Should any one speak of Woman's
rights, etc., they would deride him or
attack him with rotten apples. Where
the Germans can be inspired and rebel
only for Beer can be united for no other
than Beer house purposes, can form no
party, except drinking party,
there can be no regret, if Beer is with
drawn from them, so that they may learn
to apply their time, heretofore passed
disgracefully in Beer-houses, for medi-
dation, and to work for nobler purposes
than guzzling Beer"


You may say, Gentlemen countrymen,
this again is Heinzenian coarseness
true, but it is also human truth.

Special Correspondence of The Chicago Post


FORT LINCOLN. D. T., June Is, 1878.
Yesterday about fifty hostile Sioux ap-
peared before this post, and a skirmish
ensued between them and the Bees, who
are friendly to the whites, and who are
employed as scouts at the fort. In the
melee one of the Sioux was killed and
one of the Bees was slightly wounded.
The affair lasted about two hours. This
is not to be considered, however, in any
sense, as demonstration against the
whites. There is bitter feud between
the Sioux and the Bees, and they omit
no opportunity to provoke a contest.
Some fears are also expressed that the
forts may be attacked after the departure
of the expedition as they will be left with
a force SO small as to encourage an
attempt of that kind. But With the
present rapid means of communication by
rail and telegraph nothing very serious
is likely to happen.


As l am to start In few minutes I
must close somewhat abruptly. l shall
embrace every opportunity to send you a
few notes CT the expedition, if anything
worthy of mention shall occur.

y correspondent of the american Farm
cr, writing on this subject, says:


The renovation of our worn out and
tired lands is matter of no little impor-
tance to farmers in this section of country.
We all have lands, not worn out, but
tired down by continual cropping, and we
also have lands that may be said to be
worn out since they are no longer pro-
ductive. We now want the best and
cheapest plan of renOvating these lands,
80 as to grow remunerative crops. To do
this we must have our lands charged
with a good supply of vegetable matter
to make the land lively and productive.
This can only be obtained by the turning
under of green crops, and afterward ju-
diciOus rotation of crops. In doing this
we can only cultivate what lands we can
manure well, or such as have not been
exhausted. So long as we cultivate broad
acres of poor land, We shall have such to
the worn lands in the fall; break thor
oughly and subsoil ; in the spring plow
again and sow to peas about the first of
June and harrow them in. Turn under
the peas in September aud sow to rye,
and pasture through the winter with
sheep; the second spring turn under rye
at proper time and again SOW to peas,
these in turn to be plG9ed in September,
then in October 10y sowing one bushel of
wheat and thirty bushels of cotton seed
per acre, and narrowing in well with clo
yer seed lightly narrowed in the spring,
you are ready for q judicious system of
rotation of crops, say cotton, corn, wheat
and clover. If lime can be procured at
reasonable prices, it should be used where
green crops are turned under.
