This column of the Advertiser Is under
the Edlto'rlal control of the Educators of
Nemaha County.
School District So. IS.
This district composed of the west
ern part of the district, better known
us London District, is two miles wide
by three miles long. They have on
their enumeration list about forty pu
pils. They erected last summer a
frame school house 22x26 feet, well
painted, seated with patent seats good
desk and chair, and splendid black
board. The location is high and heal
thy. There has been an attendance
of about thirty pupils this term. On
last Friday the house was filled with
children, and parents who came to
witness the closing exercises, which
coneisted of recitations in the various
branches, spelling on sides as is com
monly called, and speeches by Alex.
McKenny, G. S. McGrew, Mr. Large
and others, all commending the work
accomplished by the teacher. Miss
Mattie Savell, who taught a three
months school at $30 per month.
The District I understand have en
gaged tho services of Mis3 Busbie for
the summer term. Yours,'
S. V. McGrew.
Education.
Education does not commence with
the alphabet. It begins with a moth
er's look ; with afather's nod of appro
bation, or a sigh of reproof; with a
sister's gentle pressure of the hand, or
a noblo act of forbearance ; with
handsfull of flowers in green dells;
on hills and daisy meadows ; with
birds nests admired but not touched ;
with creeping ants and almost imper
ceptible gnats; with humming bees
and glass bee hives; with pleasant
walks in shady lanes and with tho'ts
directed in sweet and kindly tones
and words to nature, to beauty, to acts
of benevolence, to deeds of virtue,
and to a sense of all good to God him
self. S. W. M.
Closing Exercises of the London
School.
This school is in district jNTo. GG,
Township 5, Range 15, East, and
closed its winter term March ISth.
It has been under the supervision of
Isaac Black. The examination of
the pupils during the day was con
ducted in a very thorough manner,
and was very creditable to both teach
er and pupils. There was no arrang
ed programme to repeat by rote. No
bringing out of the best scholars only,
as is sometimes the case, but every
pupil had to bo in his place in the
class so that parents and guardians
could see just the progress each one
was making. The advancement of
some of the pupils in grammar, and in
reading, made in the last three
months is truly wonderful. Some of
the scholars who have had the benefit
of good teachers for many terms, yet
they had attained such a velocity in
reading, that their rapid utterance
seemed to defy all force of resistance,
but they now read in a very intelligi
ble manner.
Some of tho pupils who seemed ut
terly bewildered in the mazes of
grammar, and their capacity for fur
ther progress seemed reached, appear
now quite able to master many of its
difficulties. A very encouraging pros
pect for the future. Mr. Black has a
peculiar faculty of instructing those
who are rather dull, and seem to lack
ability for close study. He has an
iron will, and indomitable determi
nation, and if there is any capacity,
however hidden, it has to show itself.
The specimens of peumanship were
very fine. Some of course were bet
ter than others, yet all, even children
of seven and eight years of age, write
quite legible hands.
The exhibition at night was a suc
cess not one failure. Each pupil
from the least to the greatest, took a
part; like the day exercises, no select
ing of the more advanced scholars,
so as to leave a false impression as to
the average standard of the school.
One thing to be commended ia, there
was very little of the theatrical about
it. Stage acting may have its benefi
cial influences, when properly con
ducted, aud at proper times, but at
the close of a term of school is not the
time or place for it. The children
niay like it, and tli6y would like it
still better if the entire of the term
were given to preparing for it. Dec
lamations, essaj's, readings, rehear
sals and singing, as literary exercises,
are all that is appropriate and profl ta-
ble at the close of a term of school
traininp. If stage acting is desirable
it should have a separate school.
Each pupil so well performed his
and her part that no selection can
justly be made. There was a happy
blending of the mirthful aud ths se
rious; not much to provoke laughter.
It has been truly saio, we never re
spect the one who makes us laugh.
"A Merry Andrew" sort of a school
exhibition, the one full of the comic
ridiculous, does not leave as favorable
and healthy influence on the mind, as
one of a more elevated tendency.
The scene from the "Pickwick Pa
pers," so admirably acted by John
Johnson was uite enough for the oc
casion, and like all others of Charles
Dickens, there was no low bar-room
wit iu it, but a true specimen of the
ludicrous without vulgarisms.
The house the Christian meeting
housewas filled, even packed full.
Man j stood around the windows whs
could not get in, and many ventarny
unable to find a place, an evidence
that something interesting was ex
pected, and all seemed to go away
satisfied.
It is very gratifying to the friends
of education to see so much interest
taken in the prosperity of the com
mon schools.

Giant's Causeway, Ireland,
January 10th, 1S72. J
Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
Leaving Londonderry, we sweep
along the banks of the Foyle, passing
many gentlemen's seats until we come
to Newtowniimivady pleasantly sftu-
atod on the hanks of the Roe. ISoth
iug of special interests attracts ihe
attention except huge cliffs on the
north coast of Ireland, the strand,
and the furious lashings of the great
billows of the Atlantic, until we ar
rive at uoierame on the Jiann, a no
ble and rapid river. Tho popula.ion
of this place 10,000 ; the town is one
of the most handsome and well built
in Ulster. It consists of two long
streets and a diamond many of the
houses were built in 1G04. Near by
are two fine salmon fisheries, villas,
plantations, comfortable farm houses,
trim, well kept fences, aud here and
there mills and bleach fields, attest
the presence of enterprise and the
progress of improvement on each
hand, as the swift "iron steed" bears
U3 onward. Next comes Portstewart,
a pretty bathing'village and watering
place. In this vicinity was born Dr.
Adam Clarke, the celebrated Oriental
scholar and Biblical commentator,
who bequathed liberal endowments
to several schools in the neighborhood
under the care of the Wesleyan Mis
sionary Society. A tablet to the mem
ory of this great and good man has
been erected in tho Methodist Chap
el of Portstewart. Also at Portrush
a few miles further on. Another
chaste and appropriate monument
has been erected, within a few years,
to commemorate the christian virtues,
private and public services of that
distinguished divine, philologist and
a ithor.
Portrush is a neat healthful town,
sheltered by a remarkable and cele
brated rock forming a 6mall peninsu
la. Here are many fine summer resi
dences, villas and baths. Outside of
its fine harbor are a group of rocky
islets known as the "skerries," which
have been recommended by some en
gineering authorities as a proper site
for a breakwater for the protection of
vessels seeking shelter on this iron
bound coast. Not far distant are
some remarkable hills of fine white
sand, drifted by the northerly winds
most of them of no remote formation,
as traces of cultivation have been dis
covered beneath. After a storm in
1827, tho remains of an ancient
town were found exposed, showing
the foundations of dwellings, in
which were found domestic utensils,
Moose deers horns, brass spear heads
and othej military weapons. The
"White Bocks," near Portrush are
among the most extraordinary sights
to be witnessed on the coast of An
trim, famed for the wild sublimity of
its scenery. They are composed of
white limestone which the continued
action of tho Atlantio waves, that
here, in the northerly and north-westerly
gales, dash against them with
inconceivable force, have worn into
the most singurar forms. In many
places far above the present level of
the ocean, perforations and the re
mains of caves of unknown antiquity
are to be seen equally exciting specu
lutiou and wonder. Within about 2
miles there are no fewer than 27 of
these natural excavations. About
five miles from the Causeway, are the
ruins of the once famous castle of
Dunluce. From whatever point of.
view they are beheld, they at once
rivet the attention and excite the
imagination of the gazer. The grey
and mossy turrets, crumbling walls,
and fragments of old fortitlcaiioi s,
lie scattered over the surface of a
rocky promontory, projecting boldly
into the wild and turbulent waters,
whose surges rave aud foam a hun
dred feet below the verge of the cliff,
which rises sheer from the waves.
These were once the feudal halls and
the portfolio of powerful chieftains,
long ago shattered, unroofed and de
spoiled I y war, and now but the na
ked wreck left by the slow-running
hand of time. Dunluce was, pre
vious to the sixteenth century, the
princely residence of the renowned
McQuillans chiefs and warriors of
Welch descent. The csstle was the
scene of noble hospitality, but occa
sionally of siege and storm, with nil
their incidents of lofty valor and dar
ing adventures. The dome-tic apart
ments aud office of the Castle seem to
have been on the main land, the rest
of the buildings being on the almost
isolated rock, which it only connect
ed to the former bj' a narrow wall
and bridge, the wall not more than IS
inches wide. Tradition says that on
the occasion of a visit of the Mar
chioness of Antrim, a grand enter
tainment was given, and theChiches
ters of Belfast, the fV Neil's of Shanes
Castle, the'Hamiltous of Tyrone, the
Stewarts and Montgomeries and all
grandees of the North were there:
and while the viands for a banquet
fit for a queen were being prepared,
and while all was fun aud fuss with
in, the piper was merry in the hall,
the cook stewing away in the kitch
en and a tinker was sitting in yonder
window tnendirig the kettles and sol
dering the pots aud pans, when all of
a sudden, a roll of the tempest came
on, and then a crack as if all the can
nons in Coleraine were firiug, and
without a moment's notice, a portion
of the rock on which the apartment
-. ..
stood, having long been undermined
by the waves, and a
furious storm!
blowing at the time, gave way, and
kitchen, cook, table and dresser, and
all viaHds and maids in the place ex-
ceptthe tinker,, went down awfullv
engulphed'in
the foaming
waters. And yonder window m
which the tinker sat, is called "Tink
ers'" window to this daj. Two miles
further on, we come to Bushmills on
a stream of the same name, noted for
its trout and salmon fisheries. This
village is famous for its manufacture
of Irish "Whisky.
At last we arrive at the far famed
and stupendous natural curiosity, the
Giant's Causeway; one of the seven
wonders of the world, which is annu
ally visited by thousands of touristsjof
all rauks, and from various and far
distant lands. It is certainly the
most extensive and remarkable as
semblage of basaltic columns known
to exist, and tho most attractive ob
ject around the entire seaboard of
Ireland. Its name is derived from a
very ancient popular tradition, that
its erection was commenced by a gi
ant the famous Firin McCouhal or
MacCoul, has the credit of having
been its architect, in order to con
nect the most Northern point of Ire
land with Scotland. This romantic
idea, at a time when various theories
were speculations reserved for the re
mote future, and before the masses
knew anything of geology, was fa
vored by the fact, that at the small is
land of Stafla, one of the Hebrides,
which in a certain direction lies al
most opposite to the Causeway, an
apparent continuation of the same
basaltic formation rises from the
ocean, the pillars being very distinct
ly grouped and forming at one point
a grand aud wondrous cavern known
as "Fingal's Cave," which isexplora
ble by the aid of boat3.
The Causeway is situated between
Port-na-Grange and Port Nofl'er, and
forms a pnrtion of n- large promonto
ry., one extremity of which Bengore
Head, about a mile distant is the
most Northern land in Ireland, being
only fifteen .miles from the Mall of
Cantyoe, the most Westerly point of
the Scottish mainland. It consists of
three divisions, styled respectively
the Great, the Middle and the Little
Causeway. All these are composed
of columns of unequal lengths, ac
cording to their heightabove the wat
er, and of irregular angles, yet the
sides fitting closely together as not to
leave the slightest observable inter
stice. The columns, which are said
to number 30,000 to 40,000, are in a
majority of instances, pentagonal,
hexagonal or octagonal. Only one
triangular pillar and three columns
having nine sides have been discov
ered. Every pillar is perfect, dis
tinct, and separable from those ad
joining. None of these natural shafts
are continuous; they each consit of a
number of pieces, having convex
and concave ends titled into one an
other like the description of joint,
termed ball and socket, or as seen in
the layers or pelieies of an onion.
The upper section, generally speak
ing, is concave, and the bower, con
vex; but this is not universally the
case, and occasionally the arrange
ment is reversed. The cavity or
socket is circular in shape from two
to four inches in depth, and so exact
are the articulations, that accurate
impressions of the smallest irregular
ities on the meeting surfaces are clear
ly traceable. In some instances the
angles are seen to overlap. The joints
in a few of the columns are scarcely,
if at all visible, from three to six may
be discovered in others; and iu the
group pointed out by our guide un
der the name of the "Giant's Loom,"
columns are to be found with soma!;'
as 3S natk-s. The join i ngs are sn elose
that even water cannot pass between
them. We soon discover that idea
entertained uy us formerly in regard
to the magnitude of this wonderful
formation were quite erroueous; we
expected to find its columnar wond
ers extending over miles of coast.
Although the basaltic formation U
very marked along a large tract of
the sea chiis ot Antrim, we were
somewhat disappointed a? regards She
extent of the Causeway itself. The
actual measures?! fiits are: Grnd
Causeway. TOG feet long by 103 feet iu
the middle; average height 31 feet;
Little Causeway 3-G feet long, of va
rious widths and 10 feet high. Many
objects of note associated with the
name and might of the supposed
founder of the Causeway are pointed
out by the guide as tho ""Giant's Or
gan, a beautiful colonnade of pillars
12'J feet long so. called from the re
semblance it seems to have to the
pipes of an organ. Opposite to this
is the "Loom," while a little further
to the eat, several isolated column

The Giant's Well, a tiny
spriitg of the purest fresh water
springing from between the fine in
