"Sullivan has broke Charley Mitch
ell's neck." "Sullivan has killed Mitch
ell." That's all you could here on the
streets yesterday. Someone read a tele
gram in Omaha conveying the informa
tion and all the gulls in town swallowed
the bait. It was simply a cipher message
from headquarters of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Enginers, each word of the
sentence conveying some hidden meaning
knewn only to tho receiver. The same
was done several years ago when the tele
graphers went on a strike. The order
was: "Grant is dead."
"Lord Howard de AValden's wife is
lying at death's door with peritonitis.
The least excitement may be fatal to her.
Lord Howard de "Walden is given to
drink, and when intoxicated insists on
entering his wife's room. As this might
cost her life, her brothar, Major Bur
rowes, finding other means of argunent
of no avail to to induce the inebriate
peer to remain outsida his wife's
door, knocked him down. Hence the
prosecution. The magistrate evidently
thought the assault justified. But could
not the husband be bound over to refrain
from molesting his wife? Or is it 0113 of
the privileges of matirmony that the
husband, no matter how drunken, has a
right to force himself upon his wife, even
if he knows that fatal consequences may
result?" Pall Mall Gazette.
Large numbers stand around and
jostle each other as they giza with eager
eyes at the deftness and tkill displayed
by Prof. Mathcw, the Bohemian glass
blower with the dime museum now ex
hibiting on Main street. This gentleman
has been following that business for the
past fourteen years, during which time
he has shown his skill in every city of
any consequence in the United States.
While lately in New York he made a
fac-simile of Bartholdi's statue, th
"Godess of Liberty," which he presented
to the, Cooper Institute ef that city. He
has also displayed his wonderful manip

scientific institutions throughout the

PLATTSMOUTH public school
"How Now Sir Hush! No School
Today."

One of the proud institutions of Platts
mouth is her high school, which is not
surpassed for its gencrar efficiency by any
other public school in the state of Ne
braska. The school building was erected in
1870, and in architect ual appearance is
equal to that of Omaha. The school
stands upon an eminence and is surround
ed by spacious grounds which arc planted
with beautiful trees. The school con
tains a room full of scientific apparatus,
among which is a large telescope. With
the aid of that instrument a splendid
view is obtainable from the school tower
of Council Iluff!i, which is distant about
twenty-five miles in a straight line. The
naked eye, on a clear day, can discern a
beautiful panorama of the meandering
Missouri, and for miles of the surround
ing country, which open up a vista of
undulating ground, thickly studded with
prosperous farm, whoso different colored
crops, as they wave in the summer breeze,
weave a harmonious picture of man's
industry and the omnipotence of our
Heavenly Father. Following are the
names of those connected officially with
tho school :
W. W. Drummond, Supt. and Prin
cipal; Geo. Chatburn, Assistant Superin
tendent. Teachers: Misses Olive Gas,
Ursula Wiles. Alice Wilson, Addie Searle,
Henrietta Schulhof, Etta Searle, Amelia
Vallery, Matie Safford, Alice McDonald,
Anna Murphy, May Russell, Gertie Ker
ney. D. K. Barr, Janitor.
All these ladies display marked ability
in thttir methods of teaching and con
ducting their classes, and their grace and
refinement sets a commendable example
for the deportment of their pupils.
Prof. Drummond, has an uniqe manner
of teaching which combines all the re
quisites of a scholar and a gentleman.
Iu discipline, he is the soldier; in excuses
for absence, he is the lawyer. He is a
thorough student of human nature and
has a happy method of enforcing his
will, which commands tho respect of both
teachers and scholars. As Dryden says:
lie has "the disposition to put all things
in a beautiful order and harmony, that
the whole may be of a paice."
The hours of school are from 0 to
11:30 A. M. ad from 1:30 to 3:40 p. v.
There are 1,175 scholars, which comprise
eleven grades, two classes in each grade.
Pes alozzious principles are adopted in
teaching, known to unknown, disipline is
such as a parent should exercise in his
family. In this connection, the superin
tendent has prepared a book containing
the rules and regulations of the school,
and the course of study, with an index
that is alphabetically arranged. This is
to be printed shortly, and u copy will be
s nt to each family having children in
school, so that the public can gain all
necessary information from it.
The course of study comprises eleven
years of school, consequently there are
eleven grades, a yar being required to
finish the work of each grade. For clos
er grading, each grade is divided into
two classes "B" and "A" four and a
half months being thetime necessary to
complete the work of each class. Pupils
completing the course of study are given
a diploma which admits them to the Uni
versity (Freshman class), without a furth
er examination.
The Board of Education hope to be
able to fence the grounds of the main
building next year, when tha grounds
will be artistically laid out as pleasure
grounds. It is contemplated to discon
tinue the playing of base ball, upon the
grounds s that the grass may grow, and
parts be sodded or sown in blue grass.
Additional buildings will soon be erect
ed. " I am too sudden bold; to teach a
teacher ill beseemeth me," yet it would
be a good idea to have singing in the
classes both morning and evening. There
is always a pent up desire among child
ren to exercise their lungs and singing is
a a very healthy as well as pleasing ex
ercise. The school children should also be
thoroughly drilled how to act in case of
fire. The great object being to learn
calmness and self control in time of dang
er. This could be accomplished by some
sound that would cause every child to
spring to their feet instantaneously and
form "four-deep" or "two-deep," as
thought most expedient. The lower class
es could form four-deep and those at the
top of the building two-deep. The teach
er should then control their exit from the
building, accustoming them to such
words ot command as "halt," "march,"
"double." If this is not speedily done
and a fire escape put to the building,
some day the cry of "fire" will be heard,
and a huddled, twisted mass of dead and
dying children will be discovered at the
foot of the school stairs. Thu city coun
cil should see about the fire escapes at
once, if only out of consideration for
their own children.
The pupils who attend this 6chool are
peerless for prettiness, physique and in
tellect, and will no doubt, live to see a
"school house on every hill-top" in
Plattsmouth. i
Time.
Were it fairly considered' how much
we can do in a little time and how much
more we can da in the great length of
time alloted to the moderate length of a
life allowed to many of us. It would b
a useful study to endeavor to attain some
knowledge of what may be called the art
of occupation. That is to say the art of
opportioning our time to the greatest ad
vantages, not merely for that profit which
is wealth; but the more valuable advan
tages which yield self-satisfaction and the
reasonable hope that never fails to attend
on the man who has endeavored to do the
best he could iv the station which he is
placed. 'Time, which is said to fleet
away so fast, frequently stops as it were,
to conduct us to virtue and reason. Tho
spendthrift has time before him to redeem
the past, the wicked man has an ample
amount for repentance, yet so prcverse is
the humor of man and so adverse is he to
his happiness, that he will not believe
that lie has time, and, therefore, like a
a distressed and harassed merchant, lets
all his affairs go at once to ruin. Time
nevertheless is an excellent counsellor,
the servant and friend of virtuous indus
try. It appears, therefore, to bo a ma
terial part oCtho duty of parents, when
ever theii children are abnut to be launch
ed in the world, to give them proper no
tions of the worth of time. It would be
well for a young man at his first CBtninee
in the world to begin to live by
rule, as far as respects the applica
tion of his time. Ho has perhaps
made a profession of his choice
in which, if he wishes to succeed, he
should devote his undivided attention to
it during the time he alloted to it, he
should not be afraid to borrow from his
school fellows who lend him as much as
lie will never will ask to be repaid; all
that he will ask, is, that what he does
bestow may be well applied. It is true,
that as our generous Benefactor never
refuses, we may waste or abuse His treas
ures, but the punishment follows the
crime, for we purchase nothing but care
and sorrow by the misapplication of His
goodness; while, on the other hand, if
properly used, it i the true philosopher's
stone and will turn everything into
usefulness. It is true, that a deviation
from cause laid down by the wise man
should vibrate as little from the true
cause as the unhappy variations caused
by human infirmities resembling that of
the mariner's compass will permit, like
that too, it should be allowed for by the
candid and the humorons, nor indeed
caa we tell when the heavy swells of
misfortune, or the strong currents of ad
versity drive tho bark, how soon with
the best ef us the recokoning may be
lost. One comfort is that those sorrows
do not last, that there is a harbor to take
in canvass and scudding under have
poles of our pride and vanity, we may
ruu in raid come to in safety. It is true
that this harbor has not a very hospitable
shore but if land-locked and the yessel
may lie there in safety until we kave fair
wind or at least the storm has blown
over. Gum.
