A hew educational scheme called the "Woodruff Expedition was devised a few years ajo by one James Orton "Woodruff a floating college, a repsel which was to convey a certain number of students and professors around the world, to prosecute their various stud ies on the wtiy, stopping at different eountries and directing their studies upon them.

Are they American citizens or Afri can parasites on our body politic? And who is responsible for their presence among us, and their relation to us? These are questions yet to be answer ed, Men from different stand-points give different answers, none satisfactory to tlie whole, however. But one thing is potent to all. This oppressed, despised peeple had naught to d with their in troduction among us as slaves. Nei ther was their liberation their own werk; Americans enslaved, Ameri cans liberated, and the umpire of na tions submitted. Now that the incu bus is upon us. what a shifting of re sponsibility. Yet the fiaalo is none the less threatening and dangerous. 40.000 of ignorant, helpless, penniless citizens, among us as citizens, and yet not citizens a moving mass ef now homeless wauderers seek ing refuge from contumely and hate. bucaue of color, though many are "pale-faces." Surely tho nation is. responsible for their social and politi cal condition (and tlie nation is the people. Heartless, thieving pirates kidnap ped thousands of these unwary ones, chained them in the holds of Ameri can vessels, which bore thcru to our shores ; mney-Ioviug.eas?-seeking men bought their booty,, the laws protect ing them ia the same. But God wiote on the pages of Justice, Retribution, and cow we reap our harvest. No longer can the southern man rest beneath the shade of the palmet to and crow rich by th'a sweat of tho bond-man's brow, however white, and he wants him not. Th northern man thongh loud in sympathy and clamor for their free dom say: "aend them back to the cot ton patch and cane field of the south. We have no use for them in the north. They smell bad." Tho government (albeit solemnly sworn to protect the helpless and inno cent) after having removed the respon sibly of master to slave, left them in ari enemy'i land, without protection, thongh it i j'p'it millions of money, and thousands of lives were sacrificed for their liberation. What consistency !. "Out ob tie fryiu' pan into ds f.ah." Now haunted by hunger ad slain, be cause "freed-men," by free-wen. The government should shelter and foed the ned and infirm, assist the hinder ed able-bodied and protect tLrm in all laudable undertakings, giving them lib erty f speech and action, wher. it At tho fourteenth anniversary of the Natioual Temperance Society, held in Brooklyn last May, one of the speak ers, the Rev. Dr. l'eck, of Brooklyn, after a powerful array of facts, and a most forcible argument in favor of lotai aostmence, urged oy most con vincing logic the right and the duty of all good citizens to seek tomperanco legislation a follows: Some men and some newspapers are seized with the ra'jica of denunciation when we suggest temperanco legisla tion. This is eilhor deinagogism or in corrigible ignorance. For there never was a colony before the Revolution, nor a State in tho Union since, that did not and has not, iu 250 yeais, as sumed the right to legislate upon the sale of liquors. True, it has been large ly in the form of license or regulation, but that admits the right and necessi ty of the State that is, the public opinion to control it. If the law may say who shall and who shall not sell; if the state or city, may prohibit ninety-nine citizens from selling it and permit only one to vend it, then, in the exercise of the same right and power, it may prohibit it altogether as a beverage. It the State mav prohibit the sala on Sunday, and to minors and known drunkards, then it may by the sam" right prohibit it on all days and to all non-minors and nou-drunkanls ; and no nou-minor or non-drunkard can refute this logic! The right of the people through their representatives to control the sale of liquor being established, what legislative policy is dntyi Is the sale and drinking of liquors, a a beverage, a good or evil to the drinker, the family, tho taxpayer, tho social fabric, the church, and the com monwealth? You know tho dreadful bill of indictment found by tho grand jury of history. The pauperism, crime sickness, waste, woe, wretchrdncss, misery, horror, death and damnation aro known and read of all men. Has the Slate the right to lirems all this? Should not the State prohibit and pre vent this to the utmost of its power? Open bars are the prolific source of in temperance. Suppress open bars 2nd two-thirds of all intemperance would tlisappear. The State has no right to license a mau to deal out the poison that maddens my brain to commit murder, and then hang ine for doing what its license crazed me to do. The State permits men to sell to their fellow-man what incites them to violence and crime, and then pockets from 6100 to $.VJ0 of the blood money as its sharo for permitting this hellish work to be done. The Stata or city, iu licensing it, becomes a partner in causing the woe and hoiror. And every voter is the State. Every voter sends a repre sentative to Albany to license or pio- hibit the cause of all this crime and misery. Legislators liave a power of attorney to act for the voters. What they do ire do. Have we the right to legalize a enrso and wrong against mankind? We have no right to legal ize tho cans'; of more crime and woe than spring from larceny, gambling ttad prostitution. Now prohibition deals with the evil ot liquor-;e!l:ng :is God deals with all evils furbl h it. -:.d that attitude onlv is morally Hon. Roscoe Conklino is accused of a liasoa with Mrs. Kate Sprague, and a recoutre took placo between Ex Senator Spraguo and Senator Conkling at Narragansett Pier, R. I., last week, which i3 by this time the talk of the world. There are two accounts, one shifting the blame and quarrel on a music teacher, aad the other severe on Conkling. The yellow fevsr stiil rages in Mem phis, but other points, so far, are al most free from it. A scare at Corinth, Miss., caused by the illness of the May or and president of the board of health supposed tc bo yellow fever, caught from Hying yellow fever citizens, has caused a stampede. The fever seems to have takeu the colored people large ly this time. The biggest kind of a railroad war is opened up between the B. & M. and the U. 1. Tha U. P. are carrying all freight between Omaha and Kear ney at oc per hundred, and cattle at ctio per car instead of 6G8. The B. & M. carry from Kearney to Platts mouth Rt S3 per car, making about $ to Chicago. The light commenced on stock and is mostly confined t that, not auecting passenger rates nor other freight generally. A railroad bond ficht has beea jre- ing on in Gage county all summer be tween the U. P. and B. & M. compa nies. An election for bonds to the U. P. was held on tho 11th, and they car ried by a fair majority. Omaha thinks this gives her an outlet to the South Platte country. Later reports state that although there was a majority vote for the bonds there was not a legal majority that is two-thirds and consequently they were lost. Now you see politics are really bo ginning to loom up. Lots of folks, mostly lawyers though, are wondering who will bo the next district judge; while Nebraska City thinks Otoe ought to have the successor to Judge Gantt. Ou the same priuciple when Hayes' term i3 out, Oliio ought to h3e the presidency always, because the last one ean?e from there but never mind bovs, settle it among yourselves, Cass County vear. has no crop of judges this ri 'lit iu the face of an e' il-hatifig God. ud sanctions the a i. ; men rords will, M.c ti nr cominot.-vv'.'iiTth. geni'13 "f our great SofTiiniNi v..

That is a falsehood, Malignant awd uit mitijiated. It has not wholly sup pressed the salt of liquors, but in many places it has suppressed all open ban and nine-tenths o: the sa-e. l he pro hibitory laws against stealing, burgla ry, arson, adultery and murder have not wholly suppressed these crimes bhail we, therelore, repeal those pro hibitory laws and license the crimes? Tha logic is invincible. As I cannot detail the overwhelm proot er the grand, though not com plete, success of prohibitory laws in this country and Great Britain, in m an r parishes ot which-1 have irre sistible testimony I will prove it by a mlwdio ad absurdam. All enemies of temperance denounce and oppose prohibition. Every distiller and brew er hates it; every low groggery and beer saloon hates it; every beer-garden and bagnio hates it; every drunkard and tippler hates it; every man who profits by the sale in routs and auxil iary business hates it ;every demagogue who rides into ortico on tho v-.tes of the saloon hates it; every partisan who loves party more than principle hates it every newspaper that panders to the tratlic and profits by its patronage hates it the whole army f dealers. drinkers and allies denounce and fight prohibition. "Why oppose a law that does not injure the business? The brewers and liquor dealers have or ganized to crush prohibition. Why crush a failure? Whoever heard of the opponents ef a law organizing and spending large sums of money to re sist and repeal a law that did not hurt? Wonderful lopiic! The "President of the Brewors Congress of tho United States, held in Baltimore last June, de clared of prohibitionists 1 quote his words -"Undi-H table success has at tended their persistent work in many States- Good! Since we have wrung from the enemy that concession, we will shout louder than ever: "No sur render, no compromise!." You cannot regulate an essential irregularity. You mav take whirls out of a whirlwind. but it is no longer a whirlwind. If you regulato tho irregularity of liquor selling, ther will bo nothing left. Christian citizens, we must rote the same line we talk and pray. This is not carrying politics into religion, but is carrying religion into politics. Send only such men to the legislature as will bo trne to our bravo banner, so that from the Hag-staff at Albany, in every struggle for a temperanco com monwealth, we may "See tliroueh the night That ouritn'j is MiU there.''

General Geo. S. of our burg that's one of the family that has icd phonetics; that's all. A In answer to various and numerous questions and inquiries from our coun ty readers, we give a general review of the Institute and its work. To start with, it is a model school for general and thorough review of such branches, and such only, as are required by law for first and second grade certificates in this state. The programme of daily recitations was arranged and placed on the board the first day, and has been carried out to the letter. Each study has its time and has tho attention of all during that time. Each day's work is definite ly assigned by topics, and only that topic or division of the study will be considered for tho time aisigned. For example take the study cf physiology. That division or part of it which treats of motion, as the bones and muscles, is given for one or two days' work, as the extent of that division may re quire. This division is considered the motory apparatus or system. It is scheduled on tho board showing the divisions and sub-divisions in full. Thus a complete and natural outline of the subject is secured, and any au thor can be used as text and authority. ltie scientific names of tha important organs, bone, muscles, &c, are re quired, aiyl in a short time each teach er has a perfect outline and- vocabula ry for the subject in hand. Alter tins is finished ine nutritive apparatus is taken Hp, scheduled on the board by the teacher, showing the various subdivisions, as mouth, teeth salivary glands, oesophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, panaeres. spleen, Sec Questions as to the size, lecation, func tion, hygiene. Sec, are asked concern ing each division or part of a division, in order that each teacher may secure a comprehensive, accurate and practi cal knowledge of the entire subject matter. Those different systems or apparati, and subdivisions, aro taken up in their natural order. By this mnans teach ers soon learn to analyze for them selves, and secure order in thsir work. Next the circulatory apparatus is considered in a similar manner. Then tho respiratory apparatus or system. After that the assiruilatory apparatus or system. Then the nervous system, and last tlu sympathetic svstem. and so, in a short time, tho com plete subject matter of an en tire study is analyzed condensed, scheduled, systematized and indelibly fixed iu tho teacher's mind and in some tangible shape for future use. Grammar, arithmetic and all the other branches are similarly presented aud considered. Never have we be fore so fully realized the importance and advantage cf some system and or der in tho teacher's work. Every teacher comes to the class with some definite preparation on the topic signed, and when the recitation is she as-fin-has Kingsville is a very flourishing name, but guess the city itself is not flourish ing ua well ; the Proprietor and Post Master complains very much of not getting any customers, and that since the name of the P. O. has been changed there are very few letters mailed there and veiy little mail comes to the office. W. Jenkins, living h.df a mile south of Kingsville has put up quite a little store, and is doing very good business, considering the time it ha3 been run ning. He says ho is going to Omaha now soon to buy goods, and then he is going to quit Blacksmithing. We will regret his loss as a blacksmith, for sure he understands how to use the hammer to a success. Mr. Plummer from Plattsmouth has been out in the country visiting his friends, we were jflad to welcome him. J. F. Parkins and W. Jenkins have gone to Omaha on business, and for a littlo re-creation. D. M. Lloyd says they have two hun dred and lifty acres to fall plough, keep hiin busy wo think. We notice Dr. A. L. Root flying past very often, do not wonder at it, for he is an able physician, and has gained a reputation as such far and near by the great work he has performed in the way of doctoring. Dayton Root has taken his fair young bride, aud gone to live in Platts mouth, and intends painting cars; we wish him prosperity, success, and hap piness. We have sabbath school, and preach ing every sabbath at the Methodist church house. Mr. Worley is tho pre siding minister.
