Mr.. If. M. Williams, the County

and interesting discussions were had
on various subjects.
A committee was appointed to draft
Constitution and By-laws. On
WednesdajT morning the committee
brought in its report.
Only teachera were allowoa to be
come members of t.'ae Institute, oth
ers could becorao honorary members,

teachera.
It wa?, determined that the Insti
tute hold two regular sessions of five
days each, every year j the time of
meeting was to bo in April and Octo-
On the afterrioon of Wednesday the
Primary reading was the first dis-
cussed ; the word method was dwelt
on at some length. J3ome had fears
it could not be successfully carried on
in a district school, might do well
enough iu a graded school ; others
contended that it could, and should
be introduced into all schools.
The subject of Grammar was then
discussed ; Prof. Braden leading off,
hia suggestions were very good for
advanced classes.
On the question of the age of pupils
studying grammar there were differ
ences of opinions, some contending
that it might be commen-ced very
early in life with 'profit, if taught
properly, others that it should be
nearly the last study in the Common
School course. All agreed that it de
pended more on the homo associa
tions; if parents were correct in tho
use of language children would nat
urally be, whether they studied a text
book on not. - r .

Greeley's Departure for Texas
The New York Sun gets ofl" the fol
lowing on Horace Greeley's depart
ure for Texas :
At 8 o'clock yesterday morning a
carriage was driven to the Tribune
Office. A coachman and a russet
leather trunk lettered "H. G." sat
upon the box. As soon as the car
riage stopped it was seen by old Mr.
Jenny of the Tribune editorial staff.
Old Mr. Jenny was of course crazy
until he had learned who the carriage
was for. A snuuTboy told him it was
for Mr. Greeley, whereupon old Mr.
Jenny dashed up the stairs leading
to Mr. Greeley's room, and breathless
ly informed him of the fact that the
carriage was waiting. Mr. Greeley
stopped writing, drew his spectacles
1! & a v r j-i I k-v ivi nil
lrom uis nose, .put a wiue-oiimua;"
baton his head, back side foremost,
slipped his arms into a brown spring
over-coat, leavinir the "collar turned
under, seized a small leather bag.'aud
sloped for the counting-room.
"Tell Sara," said he to old Mr. Jen
nv. "not to take anv lottery adver-
tisements while I'm gone,
M w
and
watch the quack ads.
I'm going
Texas."
The last words reached old Mr.
Jenny's ears as Mr. Greeley struck
the sidewalk. On approaching the
carriage, Mr. Greeley stopped as if he
had forgotten something. Old Mr.
Jenny saw him. He rushed to his
side.
"And tell Whitelaw," said Mr.
Greeley, while his eyes beamed on
old Mr. Jenny, "that he had better
watch Ilazzard's letters from Boston,
for he is a Catholic, and he might say
something that our country readers
wouldn't like. For I'm going to
Texas. And tell Whitelaw," contin
ued Mr. Greeley, as old Mr. Jenny
was about to rush into, the oilice,
'that I waut him to watch the pa
pers and print tho official election re
turns from Alaska, because our peo
ple will expect to see them. Tell
him to nut them in nonpareil half
measure, like the election returns
from Connecticut. For I'm going to
Texa3. And.-Ephrainij toll White
law," continued Mr. Greeley, as old
Mr. Jenny made another attempt to
dnsh into the office, "not to print any
more stuff about abducted girls
or panel houses. Our people have
got enough of that sort of thing. For
I'm going to Texas." .
Here old Mr. Jenny succeeded in
getting into tho office, and Mr. Gree
ley got into ins carriage, um vieve,
his brother-in-law, took a scat, at his
side. Two friends of the Toor Boy of
tho Mohawk occupied the seat oppo
site. .
The carriage' wa.? rapidly driven to
the New Jerfev Railroad depot, at
the foot of Cortlandt street. The
four passenger, the russet leather
trunk, the wide-brimracd hat and
Mr. Greelev were safely deposited in
tho ticket office. OKI Clevji paid the
hack-driver. Mr. Greeley stared va
r.intlv for .a moment? at the ticket
a?ent. Suddenly collecting himself,
tie felt in four pockets, consecutively.
and then seemea to again 10 unu-1
self in thought. After another men
tal rally, he fished up a through
ticket on the Pan-Handle line for
Cincinnati, and approached Dick
Shields, the bagg'age.clerk.
'1 want that check trunked to to
to Cincinnati," said Mr. Greeley,
hesitatingly, "for I'm going to lex
as." . .
The friends of the Poor Boy of the
Mohawk here bade the philosopher
good-bye, and Old Cleve and: Mr.
Greeley went on board-the ferry boat

An Interview "u-ltli Mrs. Lincoln.
In an interview had yesterday with
?.Irs. Xiincoln, she said to a lady re
pqrter: "It is my desire to live. very quietly
and not be talked about. My plans
are, as yet, very indefinite, aud I
hardly "know what I shall do. If I
am able I intend to go to Chicago to-;
morrow or early next week, where I
shall reside for the present with my
son Robert.
.Reporter "Then you do not in
tend to return to Europe?"
Mrs. Lincoln "I cannot tell ; I
may and I may not. I have enjoyed
my journey abroad exceedingly, and
like the European style of living very
much, but home seems very pleasant
and I was very glad when I landed
in America again. We were treated
very kindly by the German people,
and like them very much, although
their iiabits and way of living seemed
strange to us at first. Wo were very
cordially treated among them, and
made many pleasant friends."
Reporter "Did you find that the
memory of your husband was respect
ed abroad ?"
Mrs. Lincoln "Everywhere his
shocking death seems to have over
come all nreiudice the people in Eu
rope may have had against him for
political reasons. This was, of course-,
exceedingly gratifying to us. The
people spoke of him as if they honor
ed him greatly, and I know that the
manner of his death made all persons
his friends."

terview. He is a young man of mid

The apparent daily disintegration
of a nation is the saddest of specta
cles ; and as yet there is no sign of
any man nor of any power to control
the anarchy. To many thoughtful
Germans, of course, the eveuts of to
day seem only a sure revenge; and
seldom has the whirligig of time
twirled so swiftly. Our fellow-citizen,
Dr. Lieber, for instance, who, as
a little child, was dismissed, from
school in Berlin in the yearlSOG, after
thegreajt defeat of Jena, "because the
French were coming," has read, with
the rest of us, in these latter days, the
amazing story of the surrender of the
nephew of the conqueror of Jena to
the Prussian king upon French soil,
of the coronation of the King of Prus
sia as Emperor of Germany in Louis
tho Fourteeth's palace of Versailles,
and of the victorious entry of the Ger
mans into Paris. Is this, then, the
grande nation, whose troop's at Fon
tenoy gallantly begged the enemy to
fire first? Is this the people of whom
Thackeray said that well-educated
Frenchmen do not believe that the
English have ever beaten them, and
that a gentleman in Paris was once
ready to call him to the field of honor
because he said that the English had
whipped the French in Spain ? And
if you have a friend who wa3 educa
ted iu France among the French, not
among the. English-French and
lirench-JMiglish in Pans, ask him
what the native histories say about
the French fighting. Thackeray
said, again, that he had read a Freuch
history which calls the battle of Sal
amanca a French victory.
So glorious was France In its own
fancy! Who does not recall it? Who
has not seen upon' his travels that
smiling air of superiority in the gay
city ? Who has not been asked of his
own country by his French master as
if it were a land of ice and barbarians?
There wa3 a certain Frenchman,
whom the Easy Chair remembera,
who could not believe that the Chair
would ever return to its own, its sav
age land. "But you are in France!
But you have seen Paris! And you
will go back over the aea to America !
Just Heavens, how inscrutable is

of the worthy Parisian had extended
to Rouen ; and Rouen was well
enough, because it was in France ;
but the traveler was evidently un
comfortable until he was again in
Paris. "In Paris, indeed," he said,

The Address of tlic Democratic Xcm
Bers of Congress.
THs docttment we have read with
feelings of deep disappointment, We.
had looked for a distinct declaration
that the party accepts the recent con
stitutional amendments, and consid
ers that the work of reconstruction,
although badly done, should be al
lowed to stand ; and the absence of
such a declaration in the document
will do the party more harm than all
the arguments contain J in it will do
good. Th'e thought that we are to go
into the next Presidential election on
the issues of the last, and fight again
overBJair and the Brodhead letter is
enough to make a Job ?ear his hair.
The leaders of the Democratic Party
have piped this doleful tune of cen
tralization, corruption, and extrava
gance for at least eight years, and few
converts have been found to dalnce to
it. The folly of the Democratic lead
ers is boundllss. They allow their
adversary to choose his own battle
ground ; they are Napoleons who
wish to fight YVaterloo.over again ev
ery fourth year. Upon tiie issue of
reconstruction the Republicans are
united and powerful ; upon almost
any other they are as quarrelsome as
.Parisian Communists. Not only will
the Democratic Party be beaten on
the reconstruction issue; but, as. has
been shown by the World, no .real
advantages would follow a victory,
were it possible, for the Democrats
now control most of the Southern
States and are gradually gaining the
rest. The well-worn figures about
the cost of running the government,
as compared with good ol.l Democrat
ic times, are trotted out again. In al

AN ADVENTURE.
A Coxcomb in
Senrcli
IVlfe.
of n IVenlthy
A good story is told at the expense
of a salesman in a prominent Fourth
Street dry good house, which we will
attempt to repeat, for the benefit of
those who have not been fortunate
enough to hear it. It is only necessa
ry to premise that the young man is
extremely handsome, (in his own es
timation,) and cultivatesan extensive
moustache, which he has more than
once declared should yet be the cause
of his marrying a fortune.
About three weeks ago, the
daugh-
terofa wealthy farmer, residing a
short distance back of Covington, in
a little town ou the Kentucky Cen
tral Railroad, came to the city to
sound a few days with a former school
mate, whow sho had not seen for
Home time. The girls had been qulte-
intimate at school, and. loed each
other as well as there natures would
permit. In hoaxjcjoCtlie arrival of.
her "ountrj coz," as the oily Taaid
called the other, a number of her
'friends were invited to the house one
evening during her stay, and among
them Mr. Dapper, the handsome
young manwho measures tape in the
Fourth Street store.
He had been advised of the cansc of
the social re-union, nnd took especial
pains to render himself more than
usually charming. When redolent
with perfume, he was pre?ented to
the Kentucky belle, he gavo her a
.vulgar stare, and at once made up his
mind that if she were only rich he
would condescend to marry her.
Having satisfied himself upon this
point, by learning that her father was
one of the wealthiest men in the
County, and that the peachcolored
cheeked maiden to whom he had just
been introduced was his only child,
he at o ice determined to besiege her
heart. Of course, that was all that
was necessary to win her. How
could she poor, simple-hearted coun
try girl that she was resist so fascinat
ing a fellow? Compared with the
rustic bumpkins who had heretofore
been addressing her, he must doubt
less be an Apollo. She could not be
insensible to this fact, and would
therefore surrender at once.
During the remainder of the oven
ing, Mr. "Dapper was very attentive to
the young lady, waltzing with her at
eveey opportunity, and always to be
fonnd at her side. Before they part
ed, he informed her that some busi
ness of the house in which he was
engaged would require his presence iu
her post vil'.iage the following week,
and asked if he might be so bold as to
extend his visit to her home. The
girl who, to tell the truth, wa3 not
altogether displeased at his attentions
for she had never before met a young
man who seemed to her so agreeable
at first hesitated a little, but at
length gave her consent. He pressed
her baud in token of his gratitude,
and wishing her a safe return, bade
her good night.
"Now," soloquized Mr. Dapper, as
he slowly walked away, "I must
frame some excuse for visiting Ken
tucky. Sellwell & Co. have no busi
ness "that I know of. Still I irnift go.
fOr I told Clara that I was compelled
to visit'her town next week! 'Gad,
that was a clever trick! bhe will
never know any better, and I will
have an excellent opportunity to see
how she is circumstanced in life. It
has always been a rule with me, in
looking around for a wife, never to
make money an objection. I under
stand Clara has, or will have, plenty
of it, and I certainly shall have no
objection to h?r on that account."
Here Mr. Dapper chuckled at the
thought of his projected visit to the
"dark and bloody ground," and mut
tering "devilish good," hurried to his
nhpnrless chamber, which his fancy
, soon peopled with troops of slaves, all
! .ait ,-,. to 0tfey ug commands
ToVVyrij tbe close of the fol
following
week, he obtained leave ot absence
for a day or two, and taking the 2:30
train on the Kentucky Central Road,
wa-- v oon landed in the vilhage near
which Clara lived. It did not re
quire much time to attend to the im
portant business of his employers,
which he said would require his pres
ence in the town ; so, hiring a spirit
ed horse, and inquiring the way to
Mr. G.'s, he started to spend the ev
ening at his house. After riding
some distance, it suddenly occurred to
him that ho might possibly be on the
wrong road. Observing a seedy look
insr old man a short distance in ad
vanca, he spurred up his horse,
overtaking liirn, asked :
"Am 1 on the right road to Mr,
and
G's,
old man?"
"Yes," wa3 the reply .-
"How far is it?"
"Oh, not very far."
. "Well, liow far."
"I reckon it's about half a mile."
"Whatsortof a house does he live
in"
?"
"A brick house."
"Does-it stand on or off the road !

"To tho right or left2"
"The rights,. . .
"You are laconic old man." .
"And you inquisitive."
"Well, -we won't quarrel .aboutit,"
said Mr. Dapper; .J 'and if. !you .have
no objection, I will ask you a few
more questions."
'None." replied the old man : "and
ifyou have no objection, and wiliraoti
ride too fast, I'll keep you comjany.
I am going to-Mr. G.V, too.'1
"You know him, thn ?" said Mr,
Dapper, beginning to feel intereiied
in his companion.
"Very well," wa3 the? reply.
"They say he has the 'pewter,'"
continued Mr. Dapper.
"The what?" asked, the old man.
"Tho 'pewter.' "
"I don't know what you mean."
"The 'rhino tho 'Hpondoolteks
) n
" 'Pewter 'rhino' 'spon , ' gas
ped the old man. "Really, I don't
understand you."
"How coniounuettiy stupid tne old
ass is !" said Mr. Dapper, solo voce, t
"The tin' money? They say the
old man is rich?"
"Oh, as for that, he has enough to
keep him from starving."
"He has a daughter, too, hasn't
he?"
"Yes."
. "Rather handsome, I'm told?"
. "Oh, she's good enough looking'
nothin' extra."
'"Is she at home to-day?"
"I reckon she is; don't gad about
much."
Mr. Dapper, filling that ho had
about exhausted the old man, if not
tho subject, turned the conversation
to those forlorn hopes in such cases
the weather and tho crops. Between
the two, he managed to occupy the
time till they reached Mr. G.'s gate,
which the old man opened and held
till his companion rode in. While
he was hitching his horse, and won
dering which of tho windows was
Clara's, he was arou.sed by tho sound
of the old man's voice calling:
"ilcre. Jim. Bill, Bob, some of you
niggers come and put up the gentle
man's horse!"
"The devil!" exclaimed Mr. Dap
per. "Why, that must be Clara's
father! H If! and I've been talk
ing ttt him about tho confounded
"tin!" Why, 1 can't iook tne 0111
fellow iu theitce at supper!"
After indulging in these not very
consoling reilectiona, Mr. Dapper
thought it best to follow the advice of
"Ldy Macbeth" to her guests, not
to stand upon the order of going, but
go at once, which he did. When the
lazy Ethiopian reached tho gate, Mr.
Dapper's horse was making "Flora
Temple'' time down tho road.
Our fortune hunter reached home
the following day ; and now, when
ever Clara's citv friend meets- him,
she asks him. with a roguish smile,
how he liked his visit to her "coun
try coz." And besides, tl.c littH tease
can not buy from him the smallest
trifie, without referring in oorae way
to "pewter," "rhino," or "tic:"- Mr.
Dapper has no dottbthaisho knows

INSA'NE ASYLUM AT LINCOLN.
QucGiious for Sir. Xi'aicrsi to Answi:
Lincoln,- May
15,1571.
Editor rtcpablienn :
My coir.niunicatisn of the 11th inst.
seems to have put Mr. Waters, of the
Chronicle, in bad humor." He has set
himself up as a standing voucher for
tho honesty and "virtue" of every
man that is elected or appointed to
office from Nebraska City.
What I said of the Superintendent
of the Asylum could in no way be
construed" as reflecting upon that of
ficer, nor was I casting any slurs at
the locality from which the Doctor
was appointed. I said at the rate of
ten cenUn mile Dr. Larsh would have
'o travel ten thousand six hundred
and tbirty-four.ro ilea and some few
inches to make up the item of $1,063.
19 which he has allowed himfclf for
traveling expenses. The public rec
ords at Lincoln show such to be the
case, and if tho Chronicle man will
only examine he can see for himself
and better prepare himself for his
vouching propensities.
If there is anything wrong in pub
lishing public matter to the world in
the columns of the Republican, I have
failed to seo it. Doctor Larsh and all
the other State officers are servants, of
the people, and as such tho people
demand that their official conduct
should be opened for inspection to
every citizen of the State. Short set
tlements, it is said, make long friends,
and had this rule been applied to our
State ofiicials long since no doubt our
finances would be in a healthier con
dition than they now are.
How silly it appears in Mr. Waters
to set up a long articlo of defence of
Dr. Larsh before that man is even
charged with anything wrong. And
again, how foolish in an editor to say
that "Lookout" is "laboring not to
tear down Dr. Larsh but to throw
sdurs at the place from which the Doc
tor was appointed."
Mr. Waters h:i3 fallen into the
same path of defending his particular
friend. Larsh. that Mr. Gere has iu
defending his lord and master, David
Butler. The people can easily read
the "hand writing on the wall," and
eome editors will get their eyes open
after a while. The Chronido further
says :
"We have not the laws of last sess
ion, but have too iugh an opinion of
the last Legislature to believe that
such sums were appropriated without
the usual and proper safe-guards be
ing thrown around them. In this
case there can be no danger of improp
er expenditures, but all laws should
be placed in such form as to provide
for every contingency that va.y arise
in the futuie."
" No danger of improper expendi
tures." Well, who L'ttid there would
bo? IFZiwBeinpa defence when no
charges have been made?.
Now, Mr. Chronicle, let me ask you
a few questions, which, I feel confi
dent yon will answer through the ool
urans of your paper.
1st. What influence was brought to
bear upon the Governor in order to
get Dr. Larsh the position ho now
holds?
2d. After the Doctor was appointed
Superintendent of the Asylum, when
and where did he travel licn thous
and six hundred and thirty-three
miles, which, at tcti cents a mile,.
would amount to 1,0637
3d. Was this traveling estimated by
the mile, as all officers do estimate it?
or was it otherwise 7 and if otherwise,
how was it V
4th. Did Dr. Larsh go to California
or was it somebody else ?
5th. When tin-Superintendent pur
chased $19,397.42 worth of goods for
the Asylum, did he invite proposals
through the public press, as all public
officers usually do? and ifso, will you
please give the public an abstract of
