Down about Calvert tho politicians
as the Courier informs us, are unusual
ly quiet this year. This is propably to
be accounted for by tho fact that the
railroad building in that locality com
pletely monopolizes tho attention of

busy people have but littlo time for
active politics. The people of Calvert,

Kditor Taggart's explanation in

Herlin, in Tun Advkkti.shk of tho 4th

might bo expected from one end or the
other of a long cared animal with a
shaved tail, upon receiving a kick in
tho region of the diaphragm, with a
number twelvo boot. And, by the
way Uorlln has ono of tho beBt barber
shops in tho stato, and is one of tho
bcbt barbers j and lie says ho did not
ask any pulling at tho hands of Tag
gurt that when he wants his shop
notlcod in print, ho will go to some
paper that has a rcspuctablo circula

enough to wrlto an intelligblo item.
Mayor Harrison of Chicago, on a
recent Sunday, attended a beer garden,
and being called out harangued 'the
guzzling bloated crowd, m a manner to
suit them, amid their leers andchoors.
Amongst his many illogical and un
truthful utterances ho said:
"Standby beer; but let it stand by
you, and do not lie down by it. God
Almighty has given men boor because
thoir systems demand a stimulant."
"What A consummate ass Chicago
keeps for a Mayor. "God Almighty
has given men beer because their sys
tems domand a stimulant!" is tho les
son which tho head of half million
people gives his young men. And
Chicago is already notorious for her
crimes, committed daily nnd nightly,
and especially on Sunday nights.
Tho Art of Composition.
In still another branch havo the Ger
mans succeeded. American teachers
know to thoir sorrow tho ditllculty en
countered in vducating scholars to bo
oasy writers- that is to writo what is
generally Known 10 us as essays or
compositions. Tho fault lies hero just
whero it does in all our other higher
studios it is not begun oarly enough.
Wo wait until wo think that thoir
minds are a tritlo mature, and then
come upon thorn with a wild rush of
rhetoric, history, and all tho frightful
curriculum.
German girls begin to writo essays
when they are about l years, and con
tinue to do it onco a month or twice a
quarter, but every week of tho school
year until they are 10 or 18 vears of
age. For tho llrst year it takes tho
form meroly of a dictation with an
occasional original essay. Twelvo
German poems are learned during the
year, and may also bo used as material
for compositions in prose. Kntoring
tho class abovo this, 1 found a method
in progress, certainly very strange to
tho most American schools. Tho
teaci.or was a gentleman; tho girls
were ten years old on an Iiveruge.
.-Manning oui uerore mo emus, lie began
to tell them the fable of the woman
whoso hen laid her daily a golden egg
a story told so .simply, every word of
it weighed so carefully, every idea ox
pressed with the acme of precision
and all in a voice so low ami distinct
th.it the class set hushed as he spoke,
and moved not a muscle till ho finished.
He then began it again, imusiinr this
vtiinoattlio end of every sentence to
talk it over with the school, asking
what nouns, what verbs, what adjec
tives they had noticed as he talked.
In this manner he carried them through
tlio faille to tho end. Finally ho called
upon ono little girl to repeat what she
could of it. Whero she failed others
came in to help her. Then another
girl took up tho story and told It better,
until, aftor many times told, the fable
had entered nil these Httlo minds and
become a (lxed mental possession, and
when tho master asked : "Now, do you
know it quite well?" "Doch!" "Doch!"
Ma, ja! gewissl" went up in a shout
from all parts of tho room.
. "Well, write all you know about it
and bring it to mo Monday." Cor. Jios-

Htnto Jourtml :
We have just recolvod a circular of
this popular institution from which
the following is condensed: The schol
astic year just closed has been one of
tho most prosperous in the history of
this institution. Tho catalogue ol
1880 shows an attendance of 'J70 stu
dents, all preparing to teach, and the
catalogue of 1881 will show a much
larger number. On last comiuei.ee
ment day forty students were graduat
ed, six in the higher and thirty-four
in tho elementary course, representing
in all twenty counties of the State.
This is an average of the numbers
graduated annually for several years,
but in tho meantime the school has
risen to a higher piano in point of well
directed ert'ort, moral tone, general ciii
turo,aml professional enthusiasm, and
Us prospects for the coming 3 ear aie
brighter than ever before.
In addition to the regular classes of
tho elementary course, special review
classes, composed of practical teachers
who have been over tho course and
others having tho requisite age. schol
arship, and experience, aro formed at
the beginning of the fall term, with a
view to graduation in the elementary
course at the end of tho spring term.
Students found competent to enter
these classes olHain.iu connection with
their professional instruction and train
ing, complete out lino reviews of all the
branches of the elementary course
within the period of one scholastic
year. All persons wishing to entei
these classes should bo present at the
opening of the fall teim.
Tuition in tho regular courso and
the use of the library and reading
room aro freo and thero aro no in
cidental expenses.
The scholastic year opens the first
day of September, at which time all
students wishing to enter for tho fall
term should bo present.
Among tho many advantages which
this institution affords, may bo enum
erated its healthful location, conven
ient buildings, cheap boarding, freo
tuition, experienced teachers, good
library nnd earnest students.

Lai'outi:, lnd.,Aug. 8. A most sin
gular circumstance or occurrence has
just taken place here. This morning
tor wore found covered with dead llsli,
both large and small, and in large quai.
tities, the work of a single night. Such
a thing has never happened before, ami
no satisfactory reason can bo given.
Tho lake is largo and the water deep,
small steamers and sail boats plying
thereon, so that it cannot bo a lack of
water. The ilsh seem to have been
poisoned, thoir bodies being swollen
and eyes distonded, Tho other ad
jacent lakes, soveral In number, show
no such phenomenon, and tho question
askod by tho crowds of people rushing
to see tlio dead Ilsh is," What has caused
it?" Tho health of our people being in
danger, tho city marshal and a largo
force of men commenced digging
trenches this morning, wheeling the
fish into them and burying them. Thero
are so 11111113', it will take two or three
days to dlsposo of them, as It will tako
miles of trenches to encircle tho lake.
Gen. McUride, secretary of tho board
of managers of the coming Stato fair,
is in Omaha, and, with other members of
the board, is working energetically to
insure one of tho grandest successes in
the exhibition line that this Stato or
any other has ever seen. Tho lino of
exhibits will bo vory much larger than
was ever hoped for.as the ontrles.which
are rapidly coming in, indicate.
Tho 0110 great attraction, the electric
light to illumiuato tho grounds, is an
assured fact and doubtless will bo a
brilliant success. A teleXram was re
ceived by Gen. MeHrido from tho
Hrush electric light company last night
stating that the machinery is now
ready for shipment. Accordingly this
morning ho was limiting arrangements
for the ereotioii of a tall mast on which
six of tho lights will be hoisted. Four
extra lights have been ordered, making
twonty in all. Of these, thirteen will
be placed on the race track and five in
tho main hall, using tho other two for
lighting othor buildings. This is tho
first and only time that tho electric
light has evor been used at an exhibi
