"We make some extracts from an
address of Hon. Geo. W. Frost, deliv
ered at the Staf? Fair.
MANUFACTURES.
"Are we going to the East for our
wagons and agricltural implements,
and furniture or any other handiwork
that Is formed from wood, when we
can purchase the new material as cheap
or cheaper than our neighbors, and
when we rcan raise food enough for
the sustenance of millions of human
beings from our fertile soil? And
the same may be said of our wool.
Shall we send it through a dpzen hands
to Europe to be manufactured, and
each take a profit when we have
streams idle that would turn our spin
dles, and millions of tons of coal to
drive our steam engines? Shall we
send our hides from the mountain dis
tricts to the Atlantic coast to be tan
ned and manufactured, when we
have only to transport the material
for tanning ; and our own population,
who ought to subsist in this fertile
country much more cheaply than in
the-East can manufacture them for
home consumption? The question
can me multiplied indefinitely, and
they are grave questions which must
be ment, and in which every farmer
I address is interested. The wealth
of the State, the success of the commu
nity, and the value of his individual
property, are all effected by these re
sults. Give Nebraska City, for in
stance, any of these manufatturing
advantages, and how rapidly would
the value of real estate increase in this
vicinity. And we must not think
these advantages very distant they
are at our very doors. Abroad, I see
by the papers, you have commenced
several branches here, and they are
but harbingers of hundreds and thous
ands of interests which will spring up
within the State.
THE CEREALS.
The cereals next claim our attention.
What is the great staple of the State,
We stand at the head of all the wheat
growing State, except California, in
the production of the greatest number
of bushels per acre.
Our soil is very peculiar, wheat grows
well on both high and low lands, per
haps better on the bluffs and in ana
lzylng the soil, we fine in digging
down the bluffs just as good soil nine
ty feet below as at the surface, and
the soil seems to be perfectly inex
baustable. Land which has been
cropped for fifteen years, without
dressing bears just as good crops as
when the virgin goil was first bro
ken. . .
Oats bring the cultivator almost
marvelous crops.
Dr. Miller, editor of the Herald, &
short time since exhibited to an edito
rial party from the East a sample
from a field which yielded 100 bushels
to tlie acre.
Corn is a very profitable crop com
paring very favorably with the other
Western States, but this year being
far in advance of them. 111 traveling
several times through the States be-.
tveen here and New York, the re
mark: everywhere by passengers, who
fcaroe through both in spring and sum
mer, that our cornfields were the fin
est that they had seen on the route.
BARLEY
Also yields very rich returns, and
although but little, comparatively has
been raised here, yet the present year
has given us some fine fields, and the
fact is demonstrated that it is hence
forth to be an article not only raised
for home consumption, but to be
shipped to various markets where it
is in demand. The demand hero at
present is much greater that the supply-
VEGETABLES.
"Of vegetables I do not care to
speak. The statements are so mar
velous of what we can produce in
this Western Country in that line
that it would hardly be credited. I
will say, however, in confirmation of
thrs that one cabbage raised in this
county, lasted my family all winter,
it weighed fifty-two pounds. There
was fine which was sent to New York
to the office of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company, which weighed
fifty-seven pounds, and the report says
it lasted the whole Board of Directors
all the year. ' .
To be setious though the root crops
are something wonderful, If we
could only induce our farmers to raise
the sugar beet, I believe we could, sn
a very short time, manufacture our
own sugar, and save the importation
of this indispensible article.
SMALL FARMS.
There is nothing which so much
hinders the farmers as the insane
idea which possesses many to cultivate
large farms. He does not need agreat
unwieldly farm to run over and not
cultivate. It is much better to im
prove twenty acres well than to at
tempt to cultivate forty and raise a
crop of weeds. It costs much more to
plow and plaut the forty, and there is
on the whole, quite as much profit.
The old idea is a good one' "a little
farm well tilled,", and one which is
worthy lie looked after hy every one
who tills the soil. Still the great idea
after all is, to cultivate just as much
land as can be done well and no
more.
ITherc the Sun Does Xot Set.
The following graphic passage is
from the description of a scene wit
nessed by a Mr. Campbell and his
party, in the north of Norway, from a
cliff 1000 feet above the sea :
The oeeau stretched away in silient
vastnessat our feet; the sound of its
waves scarcely reached our airy look
ont; away in the north the huge old
sun swung low along the horizon,
like the slow beat of the pendulum
in the tell clock of our grandfather's
parlor corner. We all stood silent,
looking at our watches. When both
hands came together at twelve, mid
night, the full round orb hung tri
umphantly above the waters abridge
of gold running due north spanned
the wa ter between us and kim. There
he shone in silent majesty, which
knew no setting. We involuntarily
took off our hats, no word wa3 said.
Combine, if you can, the most bril
liant sunrise and sunset you ever saw,
and its beauties will pale before the
gorgeous coloring which now lit up
the ocean, heaven and mountain. In
half an hour the sun had swung up
perceptibly on his beat, the colors
changed to those of morning, a fresh
breeze rippled over the flood, one
songster after another piped up in the
grove behind us and we slid into an
other day.
Fires are raging in the timber lands
along the coast of California. Orange
trees to the value of $10,000 have been
destroyed tn Santa Barbara county.

Educational.
It is said that but one youth in every
thousand in old New England enjoys
the advantages of a liberal or college
education, and of course a much smal
ler proportion of our western youth.
"iet, from this one-thousandth part
of community come nearly all our
Statesmen, Physicians. Clergymen
and eminent Teachers.
The fact that a number of our great
men did not enjoy college privileges,
does not materially effect the general
rule; and it is a fact, that no intelli
gent person will gainsay, that, were
our higher institutions of learning de
stroyed, our government would ine
vitably sink into a despotic monarchy
like that of Turkey or some kindred
despotism,
Yet, as a people, we are apt to over
look this fact, and ninety-nine per
sons in every hundred curl the lip in
scorn at the one who decides to take a
regular college course of education. -
We do not intend, in this article, to
speak in detail of the men who are
making us the nation we to-day are,
but will di reel a few thoughts to the
subject of the necessity of a regular
and systematic course of study in or
der to the proper development of the
mind.
We commence collecting facts as
soon as reason dawns, and were this
all of education, (the mere collection
of a great number of facts), our col
leges and even our common schools
might easily be dispensed with.
But this is not education, or at most,
it is only a very small portion of it.
Education in its true sense, is a lead
ing out of the whole powers of .the
man, both mental and physical ; and
no matter how many facts we may be
in possession of, if we cannot use them
to advantage, they are but useless rub
bish. It . is not what we know that
makes us wise, but what we can use
successfully.
Thst person is truly educated who
can put all his store of facts into active
and useful service. This power can
only be acquired by constantly classi
fying and arranging what is acquired.
When a fact is committed, the stu
dentshould learn its relations toother
facts, and also whore it can be made
useful to them.
Suppose Linneus had simply given
us all the facts he had learned about
the tlant3 and trees lust as he acquir
ed them, what a mass we should have
received ; but how useless J Suppose
Andubou, Buffon, Agassiz and other
naturalists had done the same, what
a crude mass would all our sciences be
at the present time I
And yet, that is the popular notion
of education.
'I want my child to learn this, that
or the other thing, and I want he
should learn . the greatest possible
amount in the shortest possible time'
is what you hear from almost every
parent in effect, if not in a3 many
words.
But this will not do, the mind must
be disciplined it must be trained to
combine fact to its kindred fact, and
do it at the will of the possessor.
The mind naturally admires order,
but is strangely prone to disorder ; it
delights in having a system, and yet
shrinks from the labor of systemtem-
izing.
It is only by constaht and unremit
ting effort that the-orator is enabled to
draw at will from his treasure-house
of facts, as he delights and entrances
the audieucc, that with such rapture,
listen to his glowing eloquence.
There is great pleasure in following
through a well wrought chain of argu
ment, but who can forge the chain
without a long and earnest drill re
ceived preparatory to the work.
Look at the amount of drilling nec
essary to prepare the army for the battle-field,
and is not the mind more
difficult to train than the body?
We lose an infinite amount of time
and labor in our schools for lack of
system. And we would urge on every
parent the importance of giving his
child a chance to take some systemat
ic course of study, no matter though
it do not extend'beyond the common
English branches.
See to It that your child can use the
knowledge it acquires, and be not so
anxious for a store of facts as for a
power to use them well.

Office Supt. Public Instruction.
To County Superintendents Of Buhllc Instruction
and School Boards:
Your attention is respectfully called
to the provisions of Sec. 91 of the
"Act to establish a system of Public
Instruction for the State of Nebraska,"
approved February 15, 1SG9. The law
requires the organization of teachers'
institutes. It makes it the duty of
County Superintendents to attend
those which are held for the district
in which their respective counties are
included. It makes it the duty of the
State Superintendent to organize the
institutes for the several districts. It
requires him to "cause all the com
mon' schools in said district to close
during such term, ''as may be fixed
for the institute ;" aod to "use his ef
forts to procure the attendance of
teachers in the district." .
Acting in obedience to the law, I do
hereby announce that istitutes will be
held as follows :
; For Nemaha and Johnson counties,
at Brownville, commencing on the
25th inst.
For Otoe, Lancaster and Seward
counties, at Nebraska City, commenc
ing Nov. 1st.
For Richardson and Tawnee coun
ties, at Salem, commencing Nov. 29th.
For Gage, Saline and Jefferson
counties, at Beatrice, Commencing
Dec. 6th.
And I do request that the Boards of
the several school districts close the
schools, in compliance with the law,
during the week in which the Insti
tute is held for their respective coun
ties. I request that the Boards insist
upon the attendance of the teachers.
The law contemplates their presence,
and a consequent advantage to the
schools. All who are now engaged in
teaching: and all who expect to teach,
should be present.
County Superintendents, in grant
ing certificates, should not overlook
this matter.
Teachers who attend the Institutes
should be allowad the same wages as
they would receive if their schools
were not closed.
The earnest co-operation of all to
whom is entrusted the administration
of school affairs, and all friends of
popular education, is essential in es
tablishing a system of public instruc
tion. Done at Lincoln this 4th day of Oc
tober, 1S69.

OUR CHICAGO LETTEEr
From our Special Correspondent.
Chicago, October, 9, 1SG3."
There appesto be a very large?
supply of cold in the region from
which our weather has its ri-e. Whlla
we were passing throngh a cold sum
mer, hope: were generally expressed
that" lho""autumn broezts' would Le
freighted with warmth anl sunshine.
Up to the present onr hopes havo
been largely disappointed, and we are
seeking protection from artificial heat
generators.
Since the great gold excitement died
away, we have had nothing particu
larly exciting except our local elec
tions, or rather the canva-s preceeding
them. The contest is of such a nature
that it is drawing out all the power of
both parties.
The influence of tho daily press of
the city, with tho exception of the
Evening Post and S'aate Zeifunj, is be
ing thrown in favor of what is de
nominated the People's Ticket. Hun
dreds are dissatisfied with the course
taken by the Tribune, and as a conse
quence are discontinuing it.
For about ten davs nasfc xen havo
had a most unprecedented number of
murders and robberies. Of the former,
there has been an average of one a
day, and the latter appear to corao
like a flood. One audacious villain,
who is wonderfully expert in obtain
ing jewelry, coolly returns his plunder,
by receiving - fitty per cent, of its
value In money. He secretiv wrote a
polite note to a lady demanding $100
for the lewelrv he had stolen. . Ho
called after an arrangement had boen
made through the ptipcrs. compli
mented her on the beauty of her jew
els, delivered them up, took the ilOO
and bowed himself out.
Very prominent among the great
political questions to which our citi
zens are turning their attention, 13
that of Freo Trade. For two eve
nings last week there was a spirited
discussion of the subject here, be twee a
Mr. Stebbins of Detroit and Mr.
Blanchord of Indianapolis. The largo
attendance shows conclusively the
growing interest in the subject.
The woman question meets our
public men of all classes at every
point, 'lhe managers or the Chicago
Medical College are having a debate
over the propriety of admitting wo
men to the institution, borne oppose
making the concession In the most de-'
termined manners, while others ac

A3 the leafless trees appear the 'va
rious 'tourists, and with them our
Chicago artists, begin to make their 5
appearance. We never feel that thern '
is any danger of our city receeding ,
from her commercial position, but she
has not yet attained so lofty a ono in
the- finer arts. As a consequencev
therefore, we are under the necessity
of looking more closely after this ten-
dcr plant. There are a goodly num
ber of Professors In tho city, and their
work Is by no means secondary. -.
Some time ago a principle was an
nounced in connection with fire inu-
ranee, Vhich was scouted by old un
derwriters, but it has since been
proved not oTily successful, but tho
only proper one for largo companies
to follow. The core of the theory is,
that leading men at each .agency or
branch should have a financial inter
est in the company. The plan adop-
ted is to sell a reasonable amonnt of
stock in -each city or town where
there Is to be a branch. Allow tho
local stock-holders to choose their own
agent and have a director to thf Cen
tral Board for every $25,000 of stock.

business at the branches, and makes

Mass Electing at Germaniovrn.
A large mass meeting of the Repub
licans of Germantown was held in
the Town Hall on Saturday evening.
The attendance was large and intel
ligent, and the listeners gave evidenco
of their strong attachment to tho
causo of Republicanism during tho
progress of the meeting.
The speaker of the evening was
General Jchn M. Thayer, United
States Senator from Nebraska. His
speech was a masterly oration, setting
forth the principles ot the Republican
mrtv. ' the prosperous state of the
country under the present Adminis
tration, the wonderful reduction made
in the national debt by President
Grant, how the revenue laws are exe
cuted, and the happy future which
awaited the American nation.
On the other hand General Thayer
exposed the heresies of the Democra
cy, showed up their black record and
behavior during the nation's struggle
for universal liberty, denounced their
free-trade doctrine and the infamous
repudiation proposal, and drew such
conclusions from the platforms of the
iwo parties mar, jcii not inesnauowoi
a doubt on the minds of his hearers
that the republican candidates in tho
present and future elections should
alone have the support and the ote of
every honest American who has tho
welfare of his noble country at heart.

conduct of General Geary during the.
war, and dwelt with considerable em
phasis on the timorous spirit of Asa
Packer, who deserted his country for
a sojourn in Europe, where he re
mained until the danger was over.
In conclusion, he urged the citizens
of Germantown to vote for Geary and
Williams, and bv hi3 animating
epeech must have fully aroused the
Republicans to the importance of the
questions involved in the coming
election. Philadelphia Pres., Oct. 4.
