"We are under obligations to Con
gressman Tafle, and Senator Tipton f
for rare and valuable flower and gar
den seeds.
Just as we are ready for press we
.received an interesting, but lengthy
communication from S. P. Majors at
liincolu. It will be good next week.
The Annual Conference of the .M.
' Tj. Church is now in session at the
citj' of Lincoln. It is confidently
expected that they will locate a col
lege at some acceptable point in Ne
braska, before they adjourn.
We see frcm the Centorville (Iowa)
Citizen that Gen. Drake iB pushing
matters on his line from Alexandria,
on the Mississippi, to Brownville, on
the Missouri, and that the people
nlong the Hue grant the aid he re
quires with, singular unanimity.

: taj. H. M. Atkinson permitted us
to read a short letter, just received by
him, giving theinformation that Gen
"SVarren, of Burlington, will be in
Brownviile in a week or so to confer
with our citizens on the project of
running the B. & M. from Hamburg
down to Brownville.
As a nut for anti-herd law advocates
to crack, we mention the fact, that
statistics show the fences in the Uni
ted States amount to more, in the ag
gregate, than the National Debt. The
annual coat of fences in this country
is $200,000,000. Pennsylvania fences
cost $100,000,000 ; 3S". Y. 144,000,000,
Ohio $105,000. These Statet are agita
ting the herd law with great energy.
Mr. Lett has returned from Lin-
coin. He reports that the Legisla
ture had resolved to adjourn at 11
o'clock Wednesday (yesterday). The
rail road bill extends the time to Dec.
5th, 1S71, and gives to the B., Ft. K.
& P. It. B. Co. that time to complete
their first ten miles. Mr. Lett says
that by that time the company will
havo at least twenty miles under way
and their aim is to reach Tccumseh
by January, 1872.
Wo have received a copy of an en
larged weekly paper hailing from one
of the best counties in Northern Io
wa, entitled the Ccrro Gordo Bcpub
lican. It is a nine column paper, and
it maintains one of the spiciest local
departments of any paper of our ac
quaintance. None but a live business
place of the size of Mason City could
support so large a paper. Its adver
tising columns are filled with a large
number of now names unknown to
that propinquity four years agone.
. , We have .been several times request
eU to'eifclose bills and posters for par
ties in our paper, but find to do so
w wonld bo to violate the law regula
rising the postal service.. The law says
a supplement or extra of the same es
sential character as the paper, a gen
uine appendage conveying- intelli
gence of passing events may be en
closed without subjecting the paper
to extra postage or the proprietors to
a fine. A hand bill headed supple
ment or extra enclosed is a fraud up
on the revenue of the postal service
and subjects the paper to letter post
age and its proprietor to a fine. For
this .reason we have and do decline to
fold such matter in our paper.
Wo gave to our readers last week a
small portion of the premium list for
tle-Stato Fair, and continue the same-
this week and will from week to week
until we give it all. If the season is
propitious and the weather good
during fair week we shall hold aState
Fair next fall such as the people- of
this State havo never seen before.
Col. Furnas is working to. that end In
a way such as no other man in the
State could or would work. It will
stand every farmer, mechanic, trades
man and laborer in hand to save the
numbers of the Advertiser containing
the premium list, for reference, and if
possible procure copies to send to such
of their friends as may wish to attend
the State Fair.
The people of Quincy are intensely
anxious over the result of the action
of the House upon the bill to legalize
- their issue, of bonds to the Q.. M. fc P.
The Governor of Illinois vetoed the
lull on tho ground of unconstitution
ality. It was returned to- the Senate,
whence It originated, with the veto
message of the Governor, and after a
short full and sharp debate it went
again through the Senate, over tho
veto, by a vote of 35 to 10, aud then
sent to the House. It will be acted
upon by that body to-day, and before
the close of the we week shall learn
- how it fares in the House. The in
t dications are that it will pass by the
proper constitutional majority and
become a law, the Governor's veto to
the contrary notwithstanding.

Jicpublicans of Brownville .- The
near approach of our municipal elec
tion demands the attention of all in
terested in the successful future of
our city. For the purpose of better
understanding our wants as a party
and the requirements of the new law
under which we are about to operate,
and for the very important business
of consultlag as to the best manner of
securing harmony and. success for our
party, it is thought best to meet at
the Court House on Saturday evening
next, (April 1st,) at 8 o'clock. There
fore all Republicans are earnestly so
licited to be in attendance. LeUhere
be & general rally, as business of im
portapce will be considered.

-, -Now that the Impeachment trial of
Governor Butler is ended for the pres
ent the people of the State will breathe
easier we hope and turn their atten
tion to other matters. We have thus
far refrained from publishing our con
victions upon the sufficiency of the
evidence to prove the guilt or iunor
ceuce of the Governor and anall maiu-
tain the name reticence sntiL the final
finding, of the Senate shall be made
kn&wn-. JBy the time the sixty days
shall have expired we hope the judge
ment of all parties will havo been
formed upon the evidence before the
Senate, in a cool and judicial manner,
free from excitement and prejudices
either way. 2Jo man should fear the
j verdict of a healthy public opinion
! and none should avoid a too hasty
and excited expression of public sen
timent more than the people them
selves. We all x;nu afibrd to await
the action of the Senate.
The Ku-Klux BHK
Congress is now deliberating upon
the question of supressing disorder in
in some of the Southern States.
Peaceable citizens and State officers
are being driven from home and shot
down in. the streets, in their offices
aud on, the beuch, for no otheroffense
than that they are peaceable and law
abiding and make an honest effort to
impartially enforce the laws of their
country. As the Democratic party
become successful in any important
State or city election these Ku-Klux
rear their hydria heads aud execute
their vengeance upon loyal men. A
Democrat has never yet been known
to suffer at their hands. Their mis
sion is to drive from the South Re
publican supporters', and to deliver
the country over into the "hands of
the old-time Democracy. As Demo
crats prove successful the Ku-KIux
become bolder. They expect sympa
thy and protection from the legal
consequences of their outrages at "the
hands of their more politic friends
and counselors and they will get it so
far as they are able to extend it.

Repudiation.
Some repudiator of the National
debt has sent us The Pictorial Tax
payer. The inside of this large sbeet
gives to every thinking aud reflecting
man an illustrated view of the enor
mous taxes the consumer is subject to
as a direct result of the great Rebell
ion inaugurated and carried on by the
Democracy of the country against a
Government whose only fault was in
rejecting the-leaders of that party as
its rulers and governors. The grand
object of the publication and circula
tion of this Taxpayer is two fold.
First to induce a change from a tariff
revenue to a direct tax. Second, to
make a direct tax so burdensome as
to drive the country to repudiation.
To punish the parties who .furnished
the sinews of war on the part of the
Government is the great ultimate end.
This they have failed to do directly,
and so they resort to this illustration
method expecting that thoso who
read its columns and look upon its
pictures,vill see only its illustrations
with the-tax marked on each and not
reflect back upon the cause which
makes this tax necessary, or the great
aim its proprietors and backers have

TheFrench Government with
-Theirs at its head, more generally
known as the Versailles government
is unpopular with the people. The
riot which we reported as presiding
in Paris last week, has arisen to the
dignity of a revolution. It has con
trol of Paris, and has ordered I he elec
tion of a new Assembly, having its
seat in Paris. .General Garibaldi has
been appointed Commander in Chief.
The two governments are now con
tending for the mastery and the rule
of France. The object of the new
government is to establish a Repub
lic. The election which was ordered
passed of quietly in Paris, and the
committee which ordered tho elec
tion, has yielded their authority to the
newly elected municipal Govern
ment. It is reported that eighteen
battalions out of tho twenty-four of
National Guards favor the new gov
ernment. The Prussian Government
is watching the movement with a view
to protect its own interest, and may
find it necessary to bombard Paris
again. The Theirs Government are
also threatening to open up on Paris

The Brownville High School.
According to notice the examina
tion of the several departments of the
Public School of Brownville took
place last week. We were not able
to be present and witness all the ex
aminations, but from what we saw
and can learn from competent judges
we think the result was very satisfac
tory exceeding reasonable expecta
tion. In the Primary and Intermediate
departments tho advantages of a reg
ular course of instruction and scien
tific training were especially mani
fested. The course adopted in these
departments is designed to foster and
stimulate the mental growth of tbe
pupil, and to bring into operation the
several mental faculties and habitua
ting the individual to control the ac
tion of mind and movements of body.
The teachers have evidently labored
faithfully and zealously to carry out
the plans and methods suggested by
the Principal, and- with a good degree
of success.
In the Grammar and High School
departments the same sj'stem is ap
plied but the acquisition of a knowl
edge of facta and. principles and their
application and practical use is car
ried further.
The closing exercises of the Gram
mar and lower departments took
place Wednesday afternoon andvere
creditable to both teachers and pu
pils. The recitations by Helen Holi
day and Celia. Furnas were especially
deserving of commendation. Some
of the little compositions, i. o. com
positions by scholars in the primary
departments, were spoken of as "right
cute."
The examinations of the High
School occupied all of Thursday and
the forenoon of Friday. Miss David
son's classes in Arithmetic, Geogra
phy, Grammar and Rhetoric occupied
a large portion of the day Thursday,
and acquitted themselves well. A
little more life and spirit would have
improved the exercises. It was evi
dent, however, that there had been
earnest work oa the part of the teach
er, and that the pupils were no slug
gards. The advanced classes In History,
Algebra and Philosophy acquitted
themselves nobly and gave evidence
of having, at least for tbe time and as
far as they had gone, mastered their
tasks.
Friday afternoon was taken up with
the literary exercises of the High
School. These performances were
but an exhibition of the general re
sult of the term labors no special
preparations having been made, as
was stated by the Priucipal. No
scholar had lost an hour's study or a
single recitation In these preparations.
The performances were all good and
some of them wjere excellent. Of
those which seemed to be deserving
of especial notice were tbe essays of
D. D. Muir, Zora Mathews aud Mol
lie Moore, the declamations by Al
bert Smith and the recitation by An
nie McComas.
The Hon. J. M.McKenzie, State Su
perintendent, was in attendance at a
part of the examination, and at the
close of the exercises spoke to the pu
pils, expressing himself much pleas
ed with what he bad witnessed, andJ
saying that if other cities of tbe State,
with like advantages, could make as
good a showing he would be proud .of
being State Superintendent.
Judge Hewett also made a short
speech, reminding the parents pres
ent that there was a remissness some
where or we might to-day have wit
nessed an exhibition of a much larg
er class of well trained scholars.
Fire in Roclcport.
On Tuesday night of last week as
we learn from the Journal, a large
two story frame building, occupied as
carpenter shop and saloon, and the
residence and millinery store of Mrs.
C. Smith were burned to the ground,
and other adjacent buildings suffered
more or less from the heat. Other
buildings caught fire, but were put
out before much damage was done.
The great impeachment trial has
been continued for sixty days at the
request of counsel for the respondent.
We give a portion of the evidence ta
ken in the case and will give the bal
lance next week. The Legislature
hay passed, and the Governor has ap
proped two important bills. One ex
tending the time in which rail roads
may receive the publie lands of the
State in aid of their construction, and
one providing for a constituitonal con
vention. We are not advised as to
the details of either bill. The Legis
lature wtll adjourn this week.

NEBRASKA ITEMS.
Fawuce County.
We learn from the Tribune that Mm
project for a county Normal School is
being agitated in that county.
Pawnee City has subscribed $13,000
to be paid on condition that the'M.
E. College is located and constructed
in that place.
Eld. Shockey, of this county, has
been preaching a series of sermons in
the Court House at Pawnee City,
which are highly spoken of by the
Tribune.
Mr. Houghston, of Pawnee county,
was burned to death, or so nearly so
that he died in a day or two thereaf
ter, from the effects of a prairie fire.
The fire overtook him and soon left
him at therate of five miuutes to the
mile. I swept away hay stacks, fen
ces, and stables. Much stock was
more or less injured by the fire.
Richardson County.
We learn from the Journal that ex
tensive improvements are contempla
ted and in operation in Falls City.
Town lots are rapidly advancing in
value. The Temperance lecture of
the Hon. S. A. Fulton delivered on
last Friday evening in Falls City, is
highly spoken of. Mr. Fulton is fine
of the rising young men of Bichard
son County.
Humboldt is a thriving town in
the North West portion of Richard
son county. They have the best
school house in Richardson county,
always excepting the new one of Sa
lem. A shoe and a harness maker
would find constant employment in
Humboldt. Wm. XL Storms is the
proprietor of the three story 45x60
store so amply supplied with goods
of all kinds. The town site is a good
one, situated on the right bank of
the Big Nemaha River, and at the
present terminus of the Nemaha Val
ly Rail Road.
The Ohio precinct Farmers Club at
their last meeting discussed the sub
ject of wheat culture.
Mr. Cooper thought that spring
wheat did not pay at present price.
Mr. Zumbrunn thought the best
time to sow wheat was just as the
gsass was starting up, thought that
wheat culture would pay; prefers fall
plowing for spring wheat.
D. W. Allison prefers fall plowing
and late sowing.
Mr. O. Fuller thinks farmers ought
to plow fine and harrow more thor
oughly for wheat.
Mr. Cooper says that stalks should
be cut and the grouud rolled before
sowing.
Hamilton Cotuity.
The Milford Becord says that a col

Teacher's Institute.
Monday the 20th inst., the mem
bers of the Atchinson County Teach
er's Institute met at Rockport,. Mo.
The attendance was not very full.
Those present, however, were in earn
est, and a lively and profitable sess
ion was the natural result.
The first exercise was "Method of
teactiuj, Orthography," Uy Mr.
WickensJ. Mr. Wickens would never
have a child learn to spell a word
without at the same time making
him familiar with its various uses.
He teaches spelling in connection
with reading, arithmetic, geography,
etc. Educate the hand by having pu
pils write every word on slate or pa
per. Educate the eye by having each.
one criticise the work of the others
during time of recitation. Then, the
teacher should criticise, and mistakes
most likely to be repeated should be
put on the board.
Reading exercise by Mr. Thorough
man followed. Class of teachers,
supposed to be little boys and girls at
school for the first time, received les
son from charts and blackboard. Com
menced by talking with class about
cattle. Children tell what they know
about them. Next a picture of an ox
is shown. By appropriate questions
children are led to point out many
differences between the picture and a
real ox. It looks like an ox, but does
not feel like one ; an ox can hear,
this cannot; an ox can walk, the pic
ture cannot. Now the word ox should
be shown. Write it on the board.
Have the pupils point it out in charts.
Teach the names of several , objects in
this manner,. First the object, next
its picture, then the name.' First the
concrete, then the abstract. Next
teach a few words which express ac
tion. Have the pupils discover that
these are not names of things, but
that they tell what things do. When
pupils have thus learned half a dozen
words, teach them to arrange the
word3 so that they will say some
thingteach them to form sentences.
Teach the elementary sounds, and
the letters representing them, after
pupils have learned how to use with
fluency aud intelligence, in the ex
pression of their own thoughts, at
least two hundred printed orwritten

Sumner is in labor with three-

The Tennessee arrived off Char

-Good reports come from the Joint
High Commission, whose labors will
come to a close in a few weeks. An
equitable settlement is expected.
Seven members of the South fnr-
olina Legislature, all colored, have
arrived at Washington, connected
with the disturbances in the State.
The Fenians have done something
sensible; abolished the office of Pres
ident of the Brotherhood. The next
best thing would be a disbandment.
The President deprecates any de
bate over Sumner's resolution in the
Senate. He is not anxious lor im
mediate action in the matter of an
nexation. Col. Huggins, a iederal officer,
was recently outraged dy the Ku
Klux in Mississippi. He reports that
schools are broken up and disorder
prevails.
The Mayor of Meriden, Miss., is
accused by the New York World of
firing that place a kind of official in
cendiary. It's barely possible it
might have been a Ku-KIux.
Wm. A. McCIay, proprietor of
the Memphis Sun, was assaulted and
shot by printers. The Typographical
Union justifies no act of this kind; if
it did, every member should be in the
Penitentiary.
The President has issued a Ku-
Klux proclamation, orderiifg the
wretches to disperse within twenty
days. That is the trouble with them
now. they disperse too much. If they
would keep together, a few regiments
would settle the business for them.
The New York World tells an
other story about "the reds." claim
ing they are virtuous, abused, peacea
ble beings, and that Theirs has done
it all. They insist on it that the
Commune is peace, but that it intends
to go for Ducrot and Trochu with a
hempen collar if caught. Garabaldi
senior has been made commander-in-chief,
with his sons as. aides. He is
expected to arrive to-day.
The Central Committee of the
Reds have been varying their amuse
ment. Two of them have been
throwing at each other's heads. Gen.
Sullier, the commander of the na
tional guards, was the principal of
fender. He was dragged from his
place. Gen, Chanzy has been releas
ed. Flourins is out in another procla
mation. Reaction favorable to the
regular Government is setting in.
Gen. Vinery is anxious to attack Paris.
We learnthat the Missouri, Iowa
and Nebraska Rail Road Company is
now making preliminary surveys
through the north part of the coun
try to Brownville, Nebraska. At last
accounts the Engineers were running
n line up High Creek, from Watson.
We hope thev will also run a line
down Rock Creek, which we predict
will be found to be the most eligablfr
route to Brownville. This Road
starts at Alexandria, a few miles be
low Keokuk, thence to Me'mphis in
Scotland county, from thence to Ceu
treville, Iowa, and from that to the
Missouri river at Brownville or Ne
braska City. If this county and
Brownville give the encouragement
they should, it will undoubtedly
make Brownville a point. It is
backed by the Pennsylvania Central
and will be pushed through. Rock

A Washington correspondent says:
The reception of the President's mes
sage to Congress, yestei'day, and the
action of the House in seuding it- for
special consultation, together with
the feeling manifested iu the Senate
on the question of Southern legisla
tion, puts the question of adjourn
ment into next month, for it is now
agreed there shall be action in both
Houses, and that there shall be un
limited debate in either House on the
bill that may be reported. Thus the
matter stands, and the country may
not look for the adjournment of Con
gress for two or three weeks yet, and
perhaps for a month.
