Gen. Grant seems to be marching
Fteadily toward the Presidency again.
It is said the reorganization of the

favorable to the General for our next

Grant couid do for the country what
neither Blaine nor Sherman could. He
could maintain law and enforce jus

of political revenge being hurled at

GEN.-. GRANT.
Uecc-iitioa by School Children.
Fiji la Delphi A, Doc. 20. General
Grant was given a reception this after
noou by the children of the public
schools. About 3,000 bovs formed m
open order at Walnut and Broad
streets, and the General reviewed them
en route to the Academy of Music,
where about 3.000 tiirls, from the Nor
mal, Grammar and Secondary schools
were seated in the auditorium. A
number of visiting gentlemen were
on tnc stajre. As Gen. Grant entered
the children sang, ' See, the Conqner
ing Hero Com?s," aud wildly waved
their handkerchiefs. President Steele,
f the Board of Education, followed
with an address f welcome. Gen
Grant suffered so severely with hoarse
ness that his reply could scarcely be
heard beyond a few feet from tho
stage. lie spoke as follows:
"The safeguard of all power in a
freo Republic is a wido diffusion of
knowledge. Mo?t of the States have
not been as fortunate in that regard
as Pennsylvania, but I doubt not that
the country will progress in this di
rection until a common school educa
tion shall be within tho reach of all.
These children have good reason to
thank the gentlemen of the education
al department of this city for the
privileges accorded them."
Maine's Indignation.
Bangor. Me., Dec. 23. The execu
tive committee appointed by the in
dignation meeting in this city Satur
day evening, issued addressess urging
all god citizens of every city, town
and ham'et in the State to unite with
them in taking measures for concerted
action to prevent consummation of
the outrages perpetrated upon the
i ights and liberties of the people, and
the honor and fair name of the State
of Maine. Great evils, says the ad
dress, demand prompt remedies, and
for this greatest wrong ever commit
ted under f ice government, we believe
that among the people of Maine there
aie clear heads to discover, and strong
arms to apply means to render it of
avail. For this purpose we ask your
advice, assistance and co-operation,
that the hone Hy, intelligence and
patriotism of our people may become
a living force t9 carry out tlieir will.

Menlo Park, N. J., Dec. 21. The
near approach of the first public ex
hibition of Edison's tanc-looked for
electric light has revived public inter
est in the great inventor's work, and
throughout the civilized world scien
tists and people generally are anxious
ly awaiting the result. By special en
terprise, however, your representative
is enabled to present to the readers of
the Inter-Ocean a full and accurate de
scription of his work, from its incep
tion to its completion.
SIMPLE BUT WONDERFUL.
Edison's electric light, incredible as
it may appear, is produced from a lit
tle piece of paper, a tiny piece of pa
per that a breath would blow away.
Through this little strip of paper is
passed an electric current, and the re
sult is a bright, beautiful light like the
l vMdlow sunset cf an Italian autumn.
"But pap r instantly burns, even
Hrlerthe trilling heat of atallowcan
dle!" exclaims the sceptic, " and how
then can it withstand the fierce heat
of an electric current?" Very true;
but Edison makes the little piece of
paper more infusible than platinum,
more durable than granite. And this
involves no complicated process. The
paper is merely baked in an oven, un
til all its elements have passed away
except its carbon framework. Aud this
light, the inventor claims, can- bo pro
duced cheaper than tl; Hitst c!J.
Our Temperance Column.
EDITED BT THE WOMAN'S ftllllSTIAK TKM
rEHAKCK CXIOM.
"Tor Cod. and KtHne, and Native Land."
W. N CT. U.
For our Temperance column this
week, we give a few extracts from the
Annual address before the Woman's
National Christian Temperance Union
by its President, Mrs. Wittenmyer, at
its recent convention at Indianapolis,
Indiana Our friends will remember
this lady, as having delivered halfqf
an interesting lecture here last sum
mer! There is no system of iniquity that
so successfully antagonizes tho chris
tian church as the drink traffic; there
is no habit that so completely obliter
ates the lessons of truth and dehuman
izes its victim as the drink habit.
The saloon, with its wide open doars,
confronts the church. Tho beer-garden
draws upon tho Sabbath-school,
and under the feet of this vile system
of iniquity every pure, clean thing is
trampled in tha mire of sin.
For every church there are twenty
five saloons, for every Sabbath-school
teacher a bar-tender. The church,
open two or three times each week,
sends out a dim uncertain light through
its window ; the saloons, pen night ar.d
day, Sunday and weekday, throw their
glare of false light across the pathway
of the innocent and unwary, ta alluro
men to a drunkaid's grave.
It is clearly the first duty of the
church, by positive. legislation on the
part of the highest eclesiastical con
vocations, to cleanse tho church and
expel this enemy from pulpit and pen.
The church must go out to th-3 con
test white-handed. Let her say with
the voice of authority that the pulpit
must give no uncertain sound on this
question, that the peii3 must form no
alliance with the rum traffic. What
would this mean ? Just this: the mini
ster who stands to teach must teach a
gospel including Temperance; and the
time is at hand when the minister who
can sit down in easy indifference, with
twenty-five saloons confronting his
church, and souls staggering past to
death, with the bitter cry an their lips
the bitterest that ever went up from
earth to heaven, "No man cares for my
soul," will be told that he was missed
his calling and that he had better go
ba;k to feeding swine.
The time lias come in the history of
the Temperance eause when there are
only two sides to tha question. There
is no neutral ground upon which the
men and women of the church may
stand and say: "It is nothing to me."
It ?s the duty of the church, as of indi
vidual Christians, to antagonize sin and
redeem the lost, and advance every in
ttrest that will bring in His kingdom
whose right it is to reign.
Prohibitory Legislation
All caa no longer admit of compro
miso measures in dealing with tho li
quor traffic. Tin whole iniquitous
business is wrong, a sin against God, a
cruel crima against societ', that no
amount ef revenue can condone. To
admit that crime legalized is no longer
crime, is absurd. Tho moral code is
written not only in the Book ot God,
but on human hearts. Every fibre of
soul and body is under laws that, vio
lated, must meet the penalty, no mat
ter now men lesislate. Ana there is
not one sentence in the whole moral
code that does not fall upon the liquor
traffic and trafficers in heavy condemn
ation. We must adjudge this crime
as we would other crimes.
There is no 'ground to justify com-
promisis. As well might we advocate
a law making it optional with tha peo
ple whether crime, such as theft, or
murder, or arson, should be committed
under protection of law.
There is not a principle involved in
English common law that is not viola
ted by the emissaries of the liquor
traffic; human comfort aud Lappiness,
the safety of life and property, and
the perpetuity of Government are in
volved.
We earnestly balieve that Temper
ance sentiment has progressed beyond
any further plastering with untem
pered mortar.
Prohibition is, we are glad to know,
just now the popular battle cry among
the most thoughtful and experienced
Temperance workers, and the, fruits
beffin to tell. Kansas has submitted
i constitutional amendment to the
people, forever prohibiting tho manu
facture and sale of alchoholic drinks in
that state, which t hey, hope will bo
sustained by the vote of the people.
Nebraska came within oue vote of get
ting prohibition last year. The Re
publican party of Iowa has pledged
tself to submit a const itutional amend
ment to ths people forbidding this traf
fic. Michigan is fully aroused, and
united and earnest in demands for a
constitutional amendment prohibiting
the liquor traffic. Everywhere the tide
is coming up to ths time level f total
rohibition. We are. here on grave
and important business. We are to
work oat for the coming year the work
of one of the largest sec.ieties in the
world. The name we bear has beccme
a household word, wherever tha Eng-
ish language is spoken, and our work
s known and read of all men. Tens
f thousands of werkers in tur own
and otherlandsare watchingour move
meuts with prayerful interest. It be
comes us, then, to walk softly before
the Lord and carefully before the peo
ple, btt we mar God' work and cross
lis plans, and mark out paths that
ur colaborer's cannot enter. We stand
o-day at the Kadesh Barnfa of our
Temperance work.

Rye In Corn.
Mr. W. P. Belknnn. of Goldfield.
Iowa, makes a good suggestion relative
to sowing rve in corn before the last
plowing. AVe hive tried the plan and
can endorse Mr. B.'s idea. "It farmers
will sow one-half bushel of winter rye
to the acre in tlieir corn and plow it
in the last time, it will not onlv have
a tendency to choke out tho weeds that
startup afterwards, but there will be
no danger of dry murrain among cat
tle from citing too freely of dry stalk3.
as the rve will remain jrreen throuirh
tho winter and will be eaten br stock
in preference to the corn-fodder. It
makes a desirable feed, for all kinds of
tock, and adds materially in the qual
ity aud quantity of milk produced,
besides proving a saving of lrom one
to two tons of hay for every acre sown
and last, but not least, it affords a
green crop to plow under m Ice
Spring, which will renew aud enrieh

SAnUtnliig About Our City Schools.
This week wo have the annual ex
aminations occurring about the holi
days. School closed Wednesday, and
doe3 not open again until Mud:iy.
January 5th, 1830. A few words abaut
the presant size and status of our
schools is not inappropriate at this
time.
We Cnd tho Ilisrh School proper di
vided into three departments, and
there are two is the Gr.-jmar, proper.
A regular course is two years in the
Grammar grade and three years in the
High School, or five years in all in tho
High School building. Before that
there should have been three years at
least in a goott Ward school.
The Grammar course answers to
the dosing of a good city graded
school.
Before the Grammar grade there are
three " Intermediates," and then three
Primary's, three grades in each.
Outside at the High School building
there are two Ward schools runniDg
in the 2d and 4th Wards. Both are
full, and in March another must be
opened.
There are six to ten classes in each
department throughout the schools.
In the Wards there are only first and
secsud primarir-s.
TEACHERS.
Tho respective teachers in our rchools
are as follows, beginning with the
Wards :
Second Ward Miss Aggie Sampson.
Fourth Ward Mis3 Vass.
First and Second Primary in High
School Mrs. Kelly.
Second and Third Primary in High
School Mrs. Bo wen.
(Owing to the great number of
scholars, they have, as we see, to teach
three grades bet wetn them.)

2d " Miss Denison.

Mrs. Love.
1st. 2d and 3d High School Depart
ment Prof. Love.
Prof. Wcoley was elected County
Superintendent, aud a Mr. Campbell
takes-his place on opening in January.
Prof. Love has 12 classes a portion
of the time.
The average attendance last month
closed at 633 scholars, and there are
now over 630 scholars in the schools.
In Prof. Love's room, the grpatt
number in a cla? is 3 J; ths ljw3.st, 2.
In Mrs. Love's, 40 and 9.
Mrs. Kelly's average attendance is DO
scholars, or over 45 in a class.
Last year, by the State Superintend
ent's report, our schools cost les3 per
capita, on average attendance, than
any other schools in the State.
We have in all 9 toachers, and aver
age about 72 scholars to a teacher.
We mention, as bearing en tho ques
tion of hbzh schools, that Prof. Love
thinks over 50 per cent, of the scholars
are such as would not get any but the
rudimentary branches in district
schools, were it not for the High School
here.
We find by the above that our teach
ers have more scholars than tiov can
possibly do justice to; that on the
whole our schools are very economical
ly almost too much so managed, and,
from a personal inspection, the Her
ald thinks the teachers conscientious
and pains-taking in their duties.
Ai'Jo lrom what we consider some
grave faults in tho whole system of
education (which the teachers are not
responsible for), we ar very much
pleased with the prospects JUid condi
tion of tho Plaltsmouth schools, and
they have not been as well taught or
governed in some years as at present,
0f the system we hope to say niorat
leisure some time.
