RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, JULY 20, 157(5. NUMBER 50. . - T-.m.-- ?a - at ll v V t V v - William EHery. "William Ellerj-, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, at the age of 93 closed his active and useful life in an easy and natural death, peace ful and painless as an infant's sleep, a veritable euthanasia. He was born in Newport, II. I., in 1727, and there de ceased in 1820. He was a graduate of Harvard, for a number of years a mer chant, and afterward a successful law yer. In 1770 he was sent as a delegate from Ilhode Island to the Congress con vened at Philadelphia, and for eight years he served in that liody with ability and fidelity. Four years after retiring to private life, lie was appointed Collector of Newport by President Washington, and retained the ofllce un- til removed by death. His personal in tegrity, his pleasing social qualities, and Ids fine intellectual endowments gained him the high esteem of the community - in which lie lived; while the part which he took ill the period of the devolution gave- his hahie .i lasting historical in teTesL The linal scenes in the life of Mr. Ellery are described in a letter dated Newport, March 1-1, 1820, which is pre served in llezekiah Niles' "Acts and Principles of the Involution." The picture presented of a gentle and cheer ful death-bed is edifying to contem- plate. j'Old Mr. Ellery." so runs the missive, "died like, i philosopher. In truth, death, in its com Uniform, never i came near him. His strength-vasted gradually for the hist year, until he had not enough left to draw in his breath, and so ho ceased to breathe. The day on which he died, he got up as usual and dressed himself, took his old llag- bottomed chair, without arms, in which he had sat for more than half a century, nnd was reading Tully's Oflices, in the Latin, without glasses, though the print Avas as fine as that of the smallest pocket-Bible. Dr. W. stopped in on his way to the hospital, :is he usually did; and, on perceiving the old gentleman could scarcely raise his eyelids to look at him, took his hand and found that his pulse was gone. After drinking a little wine and water, Dr. W. told him t his pulse beat stronger. 'O, yes, Doctor, I have a charming pulse. But,' he con tinued, 'it is idle to talk to me in this way; I am going oft the stage of life, and it is a great blessing that I go free from sickness, pain, and sorrow.' Some time after his daughter, finding him bc- come extremely weak, wished him to be put to bed, which he at first objected to, saying he felt no pain, and there was no occasion for his going to bed. Presently after, however, fearing he might possi bly fall out of his chair, he told them they might get him upright in the bed. so that he could continue to read. They did so, and he continued reading Cicero very quietly for some time; presently they looked at him and found him dead, sitting in the same posture, with the book under his chin, as a man .who be comes drowsy and goes to sleep." PERSON VL. The father of little Charley Ross has written a book about the abduction, which is to be sold by agents. Mrs. Matilda Fletcher's new lecture is called "Hail Columbia." It is polit ical and highly patriotic. A statue of Archbishop Hughes is to be erected in the campus of St. John's College, at Fordham, N. Y. The income of the now Sultan is $230,000 a month, and yet lie is not coming to the Centennial. General Campanna, who accompanied the first Napoleon in his Russian cam paign, died, at Lisbon a few days ago. The fund for the bust of Thomas Paine, to be placed in Independence Hall. Philadelphia, amounts to $093.i3. The sum needed is S1.200. Mr. Henry W. Raymond, the son of the lamented founder of the Times, is to enter the field as a lecturer. He graduated from Yale in the class of 70. A Fiji-Islander became so enamored of Mrs. Scott-Siddons during her stay in New South Wales that he offered to purchase her of her husband for six bunches of bananas. George Sand's last words were: "Do not destroy the verdure." It was at 4jrst thought that she was delirious, and then it was remembered that she had herself planted- certain trees in the cemetery, beneath which she had ex pressed a wish to be buried. Victor Hugo sent an address to be pronounced at the grave of George Sand, being himself too feeble to attend. He wrote: "She had a great heart like Barbes, a great mind like Balzac, and a great soul like Lamartine." Mrs. Binney, the wife of the Rev. Dr. Binney, who, with her husband, has been a missionary in Burmah for more than thirty years, has brought to com pletion an Anglo-Karen Dictionary-. Dr. and Mrs. Binney are now in the United States. "Gail Hamilton" is not, as one might imagine, a dried-up specimen of the genus old maid, to be sure (she must be crowding fast toward the half-way post), but her appearance is that of a jolly, plump and bouncing blonde of the Lydia Thompson make-up. As every body must know, "Gail's" Teal name is Abigail Dodge,' and lier home is at lilton, Jttasa,tnougn sne is at pres- lg in the National Capital, and cracking jokes upon EDUCATIONAL NOTE.. The average of attendance in the public schools is said to be generally in creasing. The salaries of female teachers in the low-grade schools of Rhode Island in creased last year $ 2.31 per month. A resolution to abolish corjwral pun ishment in the public schools has been presented in thcBaltimore School Board. The regents of the State University of Iowa have established in that insti tution a course of instruction in ho meopathy. The apiwrtioninent of public school fix made in Maryland for the quarter ending June 15, amounted to 8150.2S-1.SS for the white schools, and 825,000 for the colored ones. The New England Journal of Edu cation holds that competent and not overworked teachers are more necessary than elaborate school buildings, and that instruction should not be sacrificed to its surroundings. j ii ;ti ucie in ociiiji mvi ivji ii ji viiituy contains the following excellent sug gestion: "The common faults of de clamation can often lie avoided by en couraging pupils to take the place of the teacher and explain some interesting topic with which they are familiar. Le it be a description, in familiar language, of something they have seen or read of. Tell us about it,' should be the form of invitation. Let them not dream that they are 'speaking pieces.' It is better that very simple narrative should be attempted at first. If necessary, let the more timid pupils retain their seats; at least avoid the conspicuity of tho plat form. A natural manner, the use of original language, and the absence of all the accessories of an exhibition, are in dispensable to a rigid beginning in ora tory. Declamation, according to the ordinary method, makes the poorest kind of actors mere elocutionary ma chines; but talk, insensibly led, step by step, to assume the dignity of an ad dress to a general audience, develops natural oratorv. The Old-Fashioncd .Mother. Thank God! some of us have an old fashioned mother. Not a woman of the period, enameled and painted, with her great chignon, her curls and bustle, whose white, jeweled hands have never felt a clasp of baby fingers, but a dear, old-fashioned, sweet-voiced mother, with eyes in whose depths the ove light shone, and brown hair threaded with silver, lying smooth uion a faded cheek. Those dear hands, worn with toil, guided our tottering steps in child hood and smoothed our pillow in sick ness, even reaching out to us in yearn ing tenderness when our sweet spirit w:is baptized in the pearly spray of the river. Blessed is the memory of an old fashioned mother! It lloats to us now like the beautiful perfume of some woodland blossoms. The music of other voices may be lost, but the en trancing memory of her will echo in our souls forever. Other faces will fade away and be forgotten, but here will shine on until the light from heaven's portals shall glorify our own. In the fitful pauses of busy life our feet wander back to the old homestead, and crossing the well-known thresh old, stand once more in the low, quaint room hallowed by her presence, how the feeling of childish innocence and dependence comes over us, and we kneel down in the mellow sunshine stream ing through the western window just where long years ago we knelt by our mother's knee, lisping, "Our Father." How many times, when tempters lure us on, has the memory of those sacred hours, that mother's words, her faith and prayers, saved us from plunging into the abyss of sin! Years have tilled great rifts between her and us, but they have not hidden from our sight the bright glory of her pure and un selfish love. Exchange. King of the Street. Wall street has a king. His reign is usually a short one. His subjects muti nize and dethrone him, and his sceptre passes to others. The infatuation of stock speculation is marvellous. Men will hold on to it in the teeth of ruin. Gambling is not more of an infatuation. A man on the street with S30,000 wants 8100,000. A man of $100,000 wants 81, 000,000. To be the potentate of a day is a great thing. For half a century all men who have led the street have been ruined. It is only a question of time. Combinations are formed against them. Bear devours bear, and bull devours bull. Men betray cliques and sell each other out, and the reverses of an hour are very startling. A leading broker was on the stand last week. He admit ted that he had been worth, free and clear, $3,000,000. Two millions he lost in loans, $1,500,000 he lost in specula tions and shrinkages, and $500,000 of that he borrowed and owes it still. Tliis heavy sum of $3,000,000 he lost in a few months, and this broker is only one out of a great company. New York Cor. Boston Journal. TheLeipsic bookseller, Minde, pub lishes a pamphlet which predicts the end of the world on the 28th of August, 1876. At the same time he announces that retail dealers may return unsold copies of the pamphlet until the close of the year. GENERAL NEWS CONDENSED.

A dark, gloomy blue sky is windy, but a light, blue sky indicates line weather. Generally the soft clouds look the less windy, but perhaps more rain may be expected ; and the harder, more "greasy," rolled, tufted, or nigged, the stronger the coining wind will prove. A bright, yellow sky at sunset also pres ages wind; a pale yellow, wet, and a greenish, sickly-looking color, wind and rain. Thus by the prevalence of red, yellow, or other tints, the coming weather may be foretold very nearly; indeed, if aided by instruments, almost exactly. Small, inky clouds fortell rain ; light s'cud clouds, driving across heavy masses, indicate wind and rain, but if alone, may only show rain. In Lapland a native would not think of taking even an icicle not his own without asking for it. Tt is such a principle as this that makes crime an unknown quality of society in that frigid region.
