A bill for a valuable pair of chick -
ens lost while on exhibition at the last
State Fair, was presented to the
Board. Payment for the same was
refuted, on the ground that a pub
lished rule or bv-law for the govern-
ment of our State Fairs, ezprely
fays that while every artcle entered
I under cliarge of the officers of the
Fair, the Board shall not be held re
Fponsihle for any accidents or losses
that may occur. And to pay even
the price of a pair of fowls, would not
only be a violation of this wise rule,
but would be setting a precedent that
would undoubtedly be troublesome I
and very Injurious to the society here-1 of S4scg $2 g of wujch Ije

The State Journal on Saturday last
g&re a synop-Is of the bill intended
for the relief of the grasrhopper suf
ferers; r-aid the bill was referred back
to the committee to have a "few con
stitutional objections removed," and
had no opinion to express as to the
n.erith or the bill, but thought that
Fonsething ought to be done. But in
the Journal of next day i5 a Jong ar- j
tide headed "A good bill,' aud giv
ing the bill and Church Howe, the
chairman of the aid committee, a tre-
fVi.fli!.t.K .if ft unit fn'i.l-i r Sfr ffn !

gotten Up for about fifteen Cents a
line. It In singular the nufT writer!
for that very excellent journal could
not have raid it was a good bill in his
article the day before inbtead of say
ing he was not sure the provisions of
that bill were the bpst thing that
could be done. When capital remov
al questions begin to look serious it is
artoiiirhlng with what alacrity capi-
' i
tal editors can come to definite con-;
clu-ions. All that Church Howe had j
to do was to demand that pufTand the!
Journal cornea down, for it may keep !
Howe right on the removal question.
But the Journal does not stop at in
setting its insignificant nasal append
age Into Church Howe's posteiior,
but proceeds to stick that same dirty
noe into our affairs, and which is not
In the least uuy of the JournuVe bu
rines. That faheet winds up Its arti
cle about a good bill with the follow
ing thrust at us :
"In connection with litis matter we
would lake occasion to piotert against
the personal flings and attacks made
aguitiist Jl author, Hon. Church
Howe, by tho Brown vllle Advertis
er." This Is what Howe wanted the
Journal to wty more than anything
else, aud it had to be paid for the pay
consideration whether relevant to the
grasshopper bill or not. We under
bbnd by the wording of Hie above
paragraph "personal flings and at
tacks made against its author" that
the Journal means to convey the im
pression that we have made pergonal
attacks on Howe regarding and hav
ing reference to his grasshopper bill,
u:id we therefore brand the insinua
tion hs a cowardly lie, for we never
hefeie referred to that "good bill" in
uuy connection. Aud we do w.t op
pose the bill, but on the contrary If It
has beeu correctly reported, we think
that or ruuiethiug similar should be
pulsed immediately to provide seed
for the dotlitule for the planting seas
on which is at approaching, and
while we ahull scrutinize Mr. Ilowe's
work closely, we will give him credit
for any good thing he may do.
To the author of "a good bill," who
"in connection with t!iir matter"
6lep9 down and out of the pale of pro
priety to perpetrate a li'Uig iiirhiun

more to fm', that we deapipa a lick

would not hesitate to wrong a neigh

"LOOK-

Editor Nebraska Advertber.
The Grangers here, in T.afnvette.

appear to be badly hurt. Think they
have ben wrongfully represented by
the "Looker On" who said their
prophet and priest, Mr. Church Howe,
-on the Fourth of July last, in his re
marks was very plain on one point
that was that the Grangers had no
need of the services of middle men :
and he evidently intended thatall bis
followers should understand it, and
act accordingly. Now, I would ask,
what other conclusion could an out-
sid
er come to than to suppose if they
had done all their own business, ship
ped all their own grain and saved all
the vast profits of the middle men.
than to suppose that they must have
made a pile of money, and of course,
as honest men, would have paid all
their debts? Was it wrong to repre
sent them as" having done exactly
what they no loudly professed they
were going to do? If they think so,
it appears to me their prophet must
have taught them a strange gospel.
As for that little guiuea pig "More
If You Want" offered to bet about, I
think he must have been a very poor
breed. If he had been a good breed
and had grown and prospered equal
to the Grange movement, ho would
have beeu so fat he could not have
squealed. He being of the former
breed of course he squealed.

Hon. Thomas P. Chapmau, a mem

State Journal, speaking of the de
ceased gentleman says:
"The deceased represented the
counties of SuuuderH, Lancaster.
Gage and Pawnee, and though not a
speaker or talker, yet ho wu3 one of
the active working members of the
lower House. In December last, the
extreme cold weather he experienced
in going from liU home to AHhlatid.
he became thoroughly chilled through
auo wus lUKeii uowu witn a severe
old, which left him with u cough
and general debility, from which he
never recovered. He. we believe, was
a Penn-ylvanlan by birth, but when
a boy his father' famil. moved to
Iowa, oud settled near Burlington,
where Mr. C. continued to live until
Fome ten or twelve yeais since whpii
he move1 to this State, and settled in
Saunders county. Mr. Chapman was

It is under the immedi

TEACHERS' MEETING.
There will be a Teachers' Meeting
at the Rosefield school house, com
mencing Frida3 evening, Februarj
12th, 1575, and continuing over Sat
urday. I have selected the following
topics for discussion Friday evening:
"How shall we gox'ern our schools?"
"The parent's duty to our common
schools."
The first I have chosen from the
fact that there are more teachers that
fail in government than in the abili
ty to teach. The second, to more ful
ly enlist the co-operation of the par
ent. It is not enough that the parent
should furnish a good house,? a com
petent teachers. There are other du
ties higher than this.
J. B. Piper and F. M. King will
lead in the discussion of the first, and
Elias Randall and C. Tucker the sec
ond. The Excelsior band, led by George
Dye, has agreed to be present Friday
evening to dispense music.
Class drills on Saturduy interspers

THE FRENCH MASKED BALL.
The French Masked Ball of the 21st j
! at the Academy of Music. wa, as us-
ual, a scene of headlong gayety and
audacious fun. It i always the wild
est revel that goaiety can tolerate, but
efforts were mndetbisyear to preserve
s'.ifficieut'decorum to allow the pre
sence of ladies of good standing, who
have formerly felt obliged to deny
there curiosity in the interests of
tate. The sight of drunken opero
girls, in brief ballet dresses, sprawl-'
ing over the partitions of their boxes,
was too much even for fashionable
sensibilities, and it was deemed pru
dent to order carriages by midnight,
leaving the opera bouffe companies
and pretty French miliners in posses
sion, who k'ipt wild revel till six in
the morning. The gayest dance mus
Ic, from an orchestra of one hundred
performers, the novel impersonations,
and charming French toilets were at
tractions whicii crowded the Acade
my as it is crowded but once a year
at the repetition of these balls. The
characters were not so new as beauti
ful, the bacchante crowned with vine
clusters and leaves, a gold cup in her
hand, a Spanish girl with goliV tuul
purple skirt, black lace mantilla, and
fan, and high comb, queens and gip
sies, an ape covered with fur, and a
fiend in flame color pnd black, who
whirled iu the waltz, holding an angel
with wings of down in his arms. A
family of professional dancer3 made
their first appearance hero in two
new carnival dances, and there was a
mock reception of the king of the
Sandwich Islands, ond a lottery,
which the P'rench delight in, wa3
drawn, giving prizes of diamonds, a
gold watch and chain, beside sums of
money, to the holder of tickets. The
tate ond brilliance of these balls ren
der them the delight of fat Nev
York, whioh likes to encounter the
fun and abandon of all the opera com
panies at short range.
THE UN ON LEAGUE RECEPTION.
In contrast to this entertainment,
which throws the mantle of broadest
charity over all who enter its doors,
the most select ladies' reception, held
annually bj the Union League, is
given at the showy club-houee, on
the corner of Madison square. Not
ten private houses In New York have
the room or the resources to entertain
on a truJj" great scale, and the club re
ceptions supply the splendor which
society craves. The balls of the rich
Union League are high-dressed af-

ond each teacher has from fifteen to
twenty of the same grade to whom
he devotes hi1 whole time. In a nev.'
Intitutinn this cannot be done,
without a greater number of teach
ers thau circumstances will war
rant. The absence- of pupi.3 of high at
tainments affects the tone and charac
ter of a school. a they are expected
to furnih incentives to diligent study,
ami examples in correct deportment;
therefore in a new school, it can hard
ly be expected, that the pupils will
niake the same progress that thej do-j thestxthye.ir of Its extstnee. and "n be
in old. well-established Institutions. ! come the estaWishwl humorous and satirical

t. har.eg .Minor, wun soine Knowi-
edge of printing, and Stephen I.
Bucklev whose exprience reaches
back a few moni only, have charge
of the printing office. Six other boys
devote a short time each iny before
and after school, to setting type; three
of them in the morning, and three in
the evening. By their help the Mute
Journal is issued monthly, without
out-ide assistance. New type will he
obtained as soon as they Jeurn to take
good care of the office.
In speaking of this department a
practical printer, says: "All wilj
agree who have seen the Journal,
which U printed ot the Institution,
that It is in the highest degree credit
able to novires in the printing art.
and presents the most convincing
proofs of pains-taking and application
on the part of the pupils who conduct
it. which could possibly be given to
the public. With the increase in
skill, which time alone can give, ond
an improvement in facilities for fine
printing, the school promises fair to
rival the efforts of the most skillful
printers in the country.'
A pupiN in this benevolent institu
tion are supported by the State, all
meet on common gound. all have
mutual Interests, and all are treated
alike. A short service Is held every
morning at the opening of the school,
consisting generally of nn explanation
of a passHge of Scripture, illustrating
and applying it briefly in the lan
guage of pigna. and closing by prayer
in the same jongunge. A religious
service Is a!o held every Fnhbath af
ternoon, but no sectarianism finds ad
mittance, and no bigotry i allowed.
Parents cannot properly provide for
the education of theechi"dren. Prov
idence has committed them to the
fostering care of the State. They are
her wards, and she enohles her hu
manity byconstont and tender care
of them In redeeming them from Ig
norance, and bringing them Into kin
shin with men.
Nebraska, for a new State. ha made
lihral provisions for the education of
the Deaf and Dumb. A sister State oc
cupied a rented building for her deaf-
mnte. fifteen or sixteen years: but
Nebraska, in lepa than three yeors af
ter a school was organized, was occu
pying a large and; commodious brlok
. babding with three weJI-fnml-bedeio-

The Inconvenience and discomfort of
thi presure will be felt more and
more. Another year will tax lb In
stitution to its .utmost capacity, and
applicants for admission sasst be re
fused. It is the high and holy office of the
State to make provi-lons for the ede-
HD e clnWrH and yotb M
thIa ?fiVt,Ha'? $i tbey may

written language; ad tb having
access to the knowing? contained In
newspapers and books, they are na4e
partakers of the We-ig and privi
leges of social, moral and rellgioas
life.
The action of the Legislature ia or
ganizing and supporting the Nebras-
ka Institute for the Deaf and jjoibo,
is a noble manifestation of interest in
behalf of Deaf-mutes, and we do not
believe she will falter in her purposes
of good to them. It is true that no

Thecapitol removers are not whoop
ing thing3 up very lively In that di
rection, as the following item from
the Stale Journal would seem to Indi
cate: On yesterday, in the forenoon, a WH
was introduced to remove the capitol.
and after its first reading a motion
was made to suspend the rules and
read the bill a second time and refer
it pRP sneaker decided the motion
bv sound to be lost, unless someone
called for a division ; but it was so
evident that the motion was k-t that
j no one called for a division. Thecap-
! itol removers got out of the lobby as
fat as they could and hunted tne
Tichenor.
A bill that is refused the courtesy of
a second reading may be understood
to be not extremely popular.
