EDUCATIONAL.
THE MORALITY AMONG
TEACHERS.
SCHOOL
Should tlie County Superintendent
Grant a Certificate to a person that !
Profane.
Of courso every christian innn or
woman in this community will say,
No! But still there arc many per
sons whom the world calls "good
men," who do swear and think noth
ing of it; and sometimes such per
sons want tp tench. They are well
qualified, apparently, in every other
way. Men of good education fair
ability apt kind good in every oth
er particular, but they will "swear."
It does seem very strange that men
will belittle themselves in this way,
but so it is.
Why is it any worse in the school
teacher than in the farmer, merchant
or mechanic? Tn Itself it is no worse;
but in its influence on others
on the mind when it is plastic when
impressions are deep and abiding.
A teacher's influence has greater
weight with the child than thatof any
other person cvon a father; for the
teacher professes to be a guide to the
intellect, and itis natural for the child
to consider intellectual greater than
physical strength or dexterity. Hence,
if he hears his teacher using profani
ty, even if entirely outside of the
influence, he is either shocked, or led
to think it no great crime, and rather
a manly virtue.
It is a shame to us as a people, yet it
is too true, that there are those in our
county aspiring to be considered com
petent teachers, whose conversation
is interlarded with oaths, and whose
influence in this respect is more to be
dreaded thr.ii that of the most degra
ded wretch that reels through our
streets.
This thing should be carefully
looked after. No man should be al
lowed to teach in our schools a day,
who is not above reproach in this re
spect. Do our Superintednents show suffi
cient care in this respect? The first
question should be "What is the
moral character of the candidate?"
And, unless that be above reproach,
let all other qualifications be a noth
ing. FJDE.S.

LETTER FEOM PERU.
LAYING OF THE CORNER STOME
OP THE M. E. CHURCH.
The corner stone of tho Methodist
Episcopal Church of this place was
laid in the forenoon of the 30th ult.,
in the presence of a large congrega
tion. The ceremonies were solemn
and imposing; and afforded, to the
thoughtful mind, food for many sober
reflections.
At about) half past ten o'clock the
Rev. T. B. Lemon took his stand be
neath tlie shadow of a little clump of
oaks, while the congregation were
seated near him on the lumber ar
ranged for temporary seats.
Mr. Lemon then read from the
discipline the introductory lesson,
showing God's approbation in separa
ting a place for his worship. The 962d
hymn, commencing
"This stone to thee, in faith, we lay,"
a very beautiful and appropriate
hymn, was then sung. Prayer was
then offered, that very comprehensive
petition found in the discipline. The
congregation was then invited to join
in reading the Cxxxii Psalm the
minister reading the first verse, the
congregation the second, and so on.
This exercise was very impressive.
The scripture lesson was a part of the
third chapter or First Corinthians,
from the ninth to the twenty-third
verse.
Mr. Lemon then addressed the peo
ple, giving a short sketch of the rise
and progress of the Methodist Church.
He spoke of its early founders, the
difficulty they experienced in organ
izing the people into a church. Wes
ley was a high churchman, and all
his early training led him to believe
that God had ordained three orders in
the church the Deacon, the Elder,
and the Bishop ; and lhatwithout) thcl
imposition of the hands of the Bish
op, no minister had the right to per
form the ordinance of baptism, or the
marriage ceremony, oradminister the
eucharist. As the society increased,
and the people scattered, it became
absolutely necessary that their pas
tors should be qualified to perform all
these solemn rites; and, after careful
study of the best English divines,
and earnest prayer to God for direc
tion, Wesley became convinced that
under certain circumstances a Presby
ter might even ordain a bishop. (Sec
Stillingfleet and others.) Havingsat
isfied himself that he was right, and
that it was God's will, he proceeded
to ordain men for the work of the
ministery. Thus the church was es
tablished, and went out into the world
as a pioneer seeking the lone cabin
of the settler, as well as visiting the
drawing rooms of wealth and fashion.
And the feeble beginning has grown
.CI (1, "fll l!..l rtl , , . .
uniji me .uuuiuuist unurcji isamign
ty people.
He spoke of the church about to be
erected as a home for God's people ;
a place where not only the present
generation may worship, but a house
where their children will meet when
their fathers and mothers are mould
ering back to dust.
After the address, several names
were added to the subscription list.
The congregation then gathered
around Use corner stone, which was
then laid, Rev. T. B. Lemon assisting
the mason in placing it.
Before putting it in its place, how
ever, a tin box had been procured, in
winch was deposited, a Bible, a Hymn
book, a copy of the Church Discipline,
the Central Chrtelicm Advocate, the
Brownville Advertiser, a Methodist
almanac for 1870, and a circular of the
State Normal School. The box was
then put in the stone, and fastened
there with plaster of paris.
The exercises throughout were in
teresting ana impressive; and the
congregation dispersed, no doubt bet
ter for the time thus spent.
.The church edifice is to be wood,
sixty feetlong and thirty-four feet in
width. The audience room is to be
4Sx31. On each side of the entrance
way will be a small room, one for a
library, the other for a class-room.
Above these is to be a lecture room.
There will be a neat cupola, finished
by a dome, surmounting the church.
Mr. SamuelE. Culbertson has taken
the contract of erecting the building ;
to be finished in good style, (except
the painting and one or two minor
parts,) for three thousand dollars. To
be completed by the first of Novem

A negro parson in the West, preach

finally, brethren, you can judge what
God thinks of money by the class of
people he gives it to."

MA NTFA CTURIES.
The city of Cleveland has become
quite notedorifS numerous manfac
tures of iron, paper, paints, wire,
railroad iron, building of sailing ves
sels and screw steamers for the lakes,
coal oil refineries, &c, from which it
is largely pecuniarily benefitted, and
the citizens claim it to be the means
of very considerably increasing their
population and wealth.
Immense quantities of the native
iron ore from Lake Superior and
Southern Ohio, are brought here, re
duced and manufactured into pig and
rolled iron, and from that into nearly
every imaginable article in the iron
trade. It is claimed that over one
hundred thousand tons of Superior
iron ore, which contains 70 per cent,
of iron, is thus used here, whilst two
hundred thousand tons are annually
shipped through here to eastern mar
kets. Lake Erie is constantly white
with sails engaged in the transfer of
ore to this city, and carrying coal back
to the various, harbors of the upper
lakes.
COAL OIL REFINERIES.
There are about sixty of these dis
tilleries here, some of which put up
four hundred, nnd others fabulous
numbers of barrels a day. The crude
oil is brought from Pennsylvania to
the boundary of the city, and from
thence it is conveyed in large pipes
about two miles, and emptied into
large reservoirs from which it is ob-
t!ncrt-by-thescvera'l refineries. On6
agent showed me ninny samples of the
different kinds of oil, and rcmaiked
that they had seventy-five names and
kinds of oils, ranging in price from
eleven cents to one dollar and seven-ry-five
cents per gallon.
An immense trade over canal, lake
and rail, is thus created in conse
quence of the numerous and different
man 11 factories, which keep the city
in continual confusion about their re
spective localities by the shipping of
their goods.
CLEVELAND.
This city contains about ninety
thousand inhabitants, and is very ir
regularly laid out, with streets run
ning to nearly every point of the com
pass. Nearly all the avenues and
principal thoroughfares are improved
with Nicholson pavement, although
stone is found in nearty every creek
and hillside surrounding the city.
The sidewalks are generally laid
with stone, which can be obtained
from the quarries of almost any desi
rable length and thickness for such
purposes. It has many beautiful and
ornamental gardens, and the side
walks along the streets are thickly
shaded with trees, which gave rise to
the appellation of Forest City.
Its coal trade is immense, being sup
plied from Southern Ohio and Penn
sylvania, and shipped to all the prin
cipal towns on the upper lakes.
A SPLURGE.
By invitation of Mr. Miller, a man
ufacturer in Cleveland of a superior
article of patent chemical paint, Judge
Coolidge, of Helena, Arkansas, Maj'
or O'Neal and myself, were shown
around the city in general sight-seeing,
and conducted through Eucled
Avenue, which is said by travelers to
be one of the most beautifully and ap
propriately ornamented streets in the
Union. Here were found tho mag
nificent palatial residences of brick
and brown stone, surrounded by all
the varieties of flowers and shrubs of
home and foreign growth, that appa
lently cquld possibly be procured. It
i.s useless, Colonelr for me to under

confess thrtt I heard so much that my

foreign and high sounding names.
The beautiful and picturesque, ar
ranged as nearly in a state of natural
growth, with thuxock-clad bluffs, the
rumbling water falls, caves coursed
with ripling streams, murmuring
brooks, perambulating through the
green sward and dense copse of forest
growth, crossed by a bridge overlook
ing the surrounding scenery ; an old
dilapidated ivy covered ruins, about
two stories in height, and built of
heavy rough stones, looking like it
might have been some momentous
castle of former ages, which had been
torn to pieces and wracked by the
storms until only one entire window
was visible to lend even an intimation
of its former grandeur. Rising, as it
does, above the remainder of the sur
roundings, it lilies the mind with en
chantment for its conception, gandeur
and magnificence.

THE BRIDGE AT OMAHA.
, Work on this structure still contin
ues very brisk. The sinking of cyl
inders on this side is progressing fine
ly, forty feet being already erected on
one of the. pillars for the first pier,
and a prospect of forty feet on the
second of the two pillars to-day.
A mistake occurred in thestatement
of the soundings when it was stated
that rock would he reached (it twenty
five feet from the bank. The fact-is,
that the rock, is that distance beluw
water mark, consequently they yet
lack about four feet of striking rock.
The progress-made-is much greater
than was at first anticipated, which
of course is very encouraging to thoe
engaged upon the work. It -wag
doubtful, at the outlet, whether they
would be able to keep the water out
of the cylinders without the use of
the pumps, but It has since transpired
that they can keep ahead of the accu
mulation of band and water by having
men constantly hoisting it in buck
ets. Another derrick will be erected in
the course of a day or two, on the
road being built out? into the river,
preparatory to the sinking.of the cyl
inders for another pier, which will be
stationed 250 feet from the one now
being erected. About seventy-five
men are employed.
Altogether the work progresses ad
mirably, and our citizens may soon
expect to see something that shall be
to them proof positive that there is
really going to be a bridge -across tlie
Missouri river. Tribune.

The Prussian account qf Saarbruck

place Was attacked by a column of
French infantry yesterday. A.rumor
is iu circulation here to-day, that
Weissbourg, a town on the Palatinate,
on the border, was stormed by tho
French. Tho numbers nnd disposi
tion of the Prussian army are given
as follows:
Duke Meeklenberg commands one
hundred and eight thousand men at

The Prussian Government has sum
moned the navy en massa to defend
the coasts. A reconnoisance was
made yesterday by a body of Baden
light horso and Prussian Hussars,
wno engaged a French scouting par

London, Augsut 3.
It is generally . admitted by the
French that their Hesitancy sacrificed
their advantage in not making an at
tack onrlier. It might" liave over
whelmed Germany, but France is now
compelled to act mainly on the defen
sive. The following details of the affair
af Saarbrucken liavo been received:
The fight began at eleven yesterday
afternoon. The French passed the
frontier in force. The Prussians
were driven irom tneir strong posi
tions by a'harp artillery fire by the
French. The latter remained master
of the position, which they won with
out serious loss. The Emperor and
Prince Imperial witnessed the con
flict nnd returned to Metz frtr dinner,
, Itis understood that war correspon
dents have finally expelled from both
armies.
A telegram from Amsterdam con
firms tho report of the French exploit
at Saarbrucken, but calls It a coup
d'etat, not a millitary success. The
Prussians 'regarded Saarbrucken as a
position without military value, and
entrusted it to two companies.
Paris, August 3.
The French journals this morning
publish the following account of the
Saarbrucken affair: "At Metz, on
the 2d the French troops passed the
frontier at 11 o'clock. They instant
ly encountered the Prussians, who
were strongly posted on the heights
commanding Saarbrucken, which
wore carriad bv a few battillions.
The capture of the town instantly
followed, the artillery compelling the
Prussians to evacuate it in great-haste.
Gen. Fossard, with one division, defeated-three
divisions of the enemy.
The buildings in Saarbrucken caught
fire from the French artillery, and
half the town was destroyed. The
initraillieurs were used for the first
I time, and. are-reported to. have'work-
eu wonders. The city of Metz was
illuminated last night in honor of the
victory. After the retreat of the
Prussians tho French di'd not occupy
the place.
London, August 4.
The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don News', writes that the enthusiasm
for war has entirety disappeared in
Paris. It is now evident that the war
with. Germany means a prolonged
struggle against one million armed
combatants, determined to defend
their own country, nnd if possible to
give the I'reneh'sueh a lesson, that
hereafter the Emperor's peculiar
mode of making his reign an era of
Ceace by attacking his neighbors, will
ereirdercd impossible. Itisannoun

Hraillcuwf but the legend has lost its
encct.
New York, August 4.
A Carlearuhe dispatch says the Jast
Prussian victory at Weissenburg, was
decisive. The troops engaged were
regiments fifth and eleventh. The
Prussian army corps and the second
army corps, of Bavaria, were ld by
the Crown Prince in person. The
French force consisted of Donay's di
vision, of1 McMahon's qorps. Weis
senbburg and Gcrshall, in the rear of
that town, were carried by storm, a'l
the point of the bayonet, after an ob
stinate resistance.
The General who commanded the
French in the absence of Donay was
killed, with, two oflicers of his staff.
