Mr.. Would it not be we'll
to call the attention Of the public to the
manner in which the public school is
conducted in this place I refer to tho
giving of certain divisions of the school
to teachers not compelled to work for a
living; married women having hus-
bands to support them when there are
so many widows and single women de-
pending on their own exertions for sup
port. For years one department Of this
school has been given to a married wom-
an not compelled to support herself and
and now the same school has been given
to a married woman--one having mon
ey enough at interest to support her
handsomely, and husband in good
business besides, while refined and
educated widow with child to support
besides herself ha= appealed in vain for
tie situation, to say nothing of others
who made application, needy bat equally
competent with the one just appointed.
There is too much favoritism permitted
the directors in this respect. One di-
rector may be acquainted with a lady
for whom he has decided preference.
He fiattered by her sophistry and blan-
dishments is determined that she shall
have the school and so insists upon it
that he finally influences the other di-
rectors and succeeds. Public opinion
at last getting too powerful for that to
continue, another director insists upon
a relative having the school, and sue
cceds i'll placing a woman already in
comfortable circumstances in a lucrative
position to the exclusion of the really
needy. A reform in this matter is re-
quired and should be attended to.

FAIR PLAY.-We know nothing of the

if there is any favoritism or nepotism
in the school department of our local

It includes su- perhuous matter to the main purpose, but we will deal more literally with Reayis than he seems to have ever done with less erring men than him. self. It should be read and re-read to understand Reavis' Court ill all its terrific presumption, domineering, in- solent intermedling, and as the higher Court say, after the dismissal of Kel- ley's appeal, "every thing done by the District Court in this case was without authority of law and there fore null and void" We now submit this whole case to the people:

the flight of tea-cup, which struck one of

in his chair so far that his legs flew up and

PACKING BUTTER.-A new method
of packing butter for the retail trade
has been invented, and it promises to
answer a want long felt. The new
process is described as follows: A
firkin or barrel is prepared by filling
to a proper depth with strong and
pure brine. The butter, as it IS taken
from the churn and prepared for
market, is carefully selected as to
color and quality and enclosed in
plain cotton bags or sacks, weighing
from five to ten pounds each. These
sacks are placed in the barrel or fir
kin, fresh ana sweet, and as the brine
completely covers them they can be
kept in this condition for any length
of time. it is claimed, without any
deterioration in quality One great
advantage that is claimed for this
new style of packing is, that dealers
can take one or more of the bags from
the original package, leaving the rest
safe under cover OF the brine and ex
cluded from the air. The bags are
suited to the retail trade, as they are
just about what is generally needed
for family use, but are at the same
time so conveniently arranged that
any smaller amount can be cut from
them In the handiest manner. This
is an experiment in packing butter,
but it is worthy of consideration by
retail dealers.

One of the NEST significant features
of the present campaign is the re-
markable unanimity OF the ointment
which pervades the religious press in
regard to the political crisis. A dis
tinguished publieist, for many years
connected with one of the leading
religious journals of the country,
states that of the whole number Of
Protestant religious papers published
there are less than a dozen who do
not heartily support the Republican
party and its candidates. This is a
significant fact That portion of the
press is a great lower in the land and
the influence it exerts cannot but
make itself very strongly felt. What
is the reason why the sanctuary and
the school house should thus be
arrayed as a unit against Greeley?

PRESERVING FRUIT.-As the sea-
son for preserving fruit is at hand,
the following description of the Rus
siaD method may suggest \ useful
hint to our fruit growers. When
Russian wishes to put away app es or
pears for future use he mOistens a
Quantity Of quiek-lime with water
containing a little creOsOte, so as to
cause it TO fall into powder. The
fruit is then packed in a wooden box,
the bottom of which Is filled in to the
depth of an inch with the lime. This
stratum is to be covered with a sheet
of paper, and the fruit laid into this,
each piece by itself so that no one
touches another. A sheet of paper
is to be placed on the top Of this layer
of fruit and then a second layer of
lime sifted in. In this way lime.
paper and fruit are to alternate until
the box is filled. The corners are to
be then filled with finely powdered
charcoal. By covering the box with
a tightly fitting top the fruit will, it
is said, be kept fresh for nearly a
year.

ED. CHRoNICLE:-A large body of
men is now at work clearing away

and not expected to live, is growing

hopes are now entertained of his re-
covery. Another accident occurred

POLITICS.


When Horace Greeley was nomi-
mated at Cincinnati, Republicans,
Democrats, and Soreheads, all lifted
up their hands in astonishment, and
all laughed at the absurdity of the
thing; Democrats particularly. They
fretted and fumed, and swore they
would never give him their support,
until when State Convention after

dorsed both him and the platform

metamorphosis. changed into itsoppo-
site, and the man whom for years they
had reviled. and opposed with no
mercy, they took to their loving
breasts, and now nurture upon Demo-
cratic milk the man who had tried
every thing else and failed, and as a
final act in this serio-comic drama
they will vote for him. In much the
same way Richard Brown has been
nominated by Democracy &Co., in the
18th District. The whiskey peddIers
and whiskey drinkers who cursed the
Prohibition candidate and his party,
now receive them with open arms,
and hand in hand they will go for
ward to defeat in October next. I
bear no i'll will toward the Prohibi-
ton party; I merely protest against
making it political issue at present:
but by joining the Democratic party
in this District they have done the
cause an injury which cannot soon be
healed. They say it is the lion lying
down with the lamb, but I fear with
Josh Billings, that when they get up
the lamb will be missing. They are
also pleased to call it magnanimity,
but no sensible person is going to be-
lieve thai. What is it? Why moth
ing more than this: The Democrats
have wisdom enough to know that
alone they can do nothing, and so
propose this misunderstanding that by
it they increase the chances of beating
Woodwork, who can do them more
injury than Brown, because he is an
ADLER man, and not to be imposed up
on. The Prohibitionists. fiattered and
blinded, agree to the proposition.-

a reform in this service; but when
you reflect upon the enormous extent

Our Reform Senate has already suf-

Wood was proved, by a committee of

thousand dollars from the chief robber,
Tweed, and ten thousand dollars more

in Wall street on his own disgrace, and
this money he got without security and
keeps without intention Of repayment.
The Sennte sees nothing in the transac-
ction but matter for gentle censure, and
continues the association with Wood,
who is also retained at the head Of the
Judiciary Committee! Why is this? Can
our readers guess? Will they believe it
when we tell them that it is widely re-
ported that at least six Senators were
recipients of the same kinds of loan as
set Mr.. Wood up in business? The pot

The terrible maelstorm on the coast
of Norway has unaceountably disap-

no such whirlpool, and it is only when
the tide, current and wind arc at log
gerheads in the narrow straits between
Moskenaessor and the isolated rock of
Mosden that any agitation is visable at
all. He is therefore of the opinion
that some such phenomenon as this,
seen from the shore and exaggerated by
the horror Of the beholder, gave rise to
all the marvellous legends Of the mael-
strom. 1t is sad to part with an old
friend, but really there is no help for
it. Science is inexorible, and that
magnificent old myth of the sea, that
has been swallowing ships in the school

other myths have done before.

They call and they answer each other
They answer and mingle again
As the deep and the shrill in an anthem
Make harmony still in their strain;
As the voices of sentincls mingle


In the mountainous regions Of snow,
From hilltop to hilltop a chorous


Floats down to the valleys below.
The shadows, the freight Of even,


The sound of the rains distant chime,
Come bringing, with rain softly dropping,
Sweet thoughts of shadowy time;
The slumbcrous sense of seclusion,


From storm and intruders aloof,
We feel when we hear in the midnight
The patter Of rain on the roof.
When the spirit goes forth in its yearnings
To take all it's wanderers home
Or, afar in the regions of fancy,


Delights OH swift pinions to roam,
qnietly sit by the freight,
The freight SO bright and so warm
For know that those only who love me
Will seek me through shadow and storm.
But should they be absent this evening,
Should even the household depart
Deserted, l should n be lonely;


There would still be the guests in my lreart
The faces of friends that cher sh,


The smile, and the glance and the tone,
Will haunt me wherever wander,


And thus am never alone.
