From the Genoa Leader comes
the repeated caution to farmers in
setting out fires in Nebraska. The
Leader refers to David Conard living
near the north line of the county,
who one day last 'week, lured by the
beauty of the day, and quietness of
the time, concluded to burn the trash
on bis garden. The wind got up,
swept it beycfad'hiB control, and came
very near burning all his buildings;
as it was, it swept through his pig pen
and 6et fire to the manure heap in
front of his stable door, and he had
barely time to cet his stock loose 'and'

Additional moral don't start a fire.
Two alarms of fire Saaday Bight,
to which the H. & L. Co. turned out
promptly, also Monday afternoon.
No particular damage. These alarms
were caused by embers from burning
bay stacks and manure piles ,on. the
flats. Now that it has rained a little
ind the green grass is coming along
pretty lively, It will probably not be
long until the dry times and high
winds and dangerous outbreaks of
fire the last.few- days, will have drop

fire risk and likewise increase .the
means of putting out fires.
' L. D. Clark, 1 who, wUtf John
Stufhel, made the aetnal capture of
the young man who stole Judge Hig
gius's pony, gives us some of the par
ticulars. They left here at 3 p. m. of
the 23d, 'and drove direct, without
inquiry to Osceola, where they found
the fugitive bad got a lunch. Mr.
Clark, knowing that this boy bad
friends in York, suspicioned that he
had gone there, and consequently
took that direction, finding him at the
house of one of his relatives, making
the drive of 50 miles in 6 hours. The
boy said, when arrested, that he had
borrowed the rig of a stranger.
Saturday afternoon at about three
o'clock tho hay stacks on the north
side of Thos. Farrel's corral were no
ticed to be on fire, and in a very short
time they were all aflame the fire
working on the fences, corn-crib, etc.
A crowd quickly gathered, and made
an opening in the fence for the ter
rified beasts, which they very quick
ly availed themselves of. The hogs
were not bo wise, but rushed pell-mell
back into the fire, an unknown num
ber of them being killed. Three
cows also perished in the flames. The
lot, being D. C Kavanaugb's, he will
loose the trees on the north side,
which must have been killed by the
intense heat. No iusurance. We are
told that the fire was caused by the
playing of two little girls, near by,
with fire.
The following from the Madison
Chronicle is strong enough to speak
for itself. If we hadn't had, in our
early youth, some experience with
Ohio mud, we should have regarded
the mud portion of the paragraph
phenomenonally and most outrag
eously deep. Certainly, born Ne
braskans who have never been out of
the state, don't know how to appre
ciate our wagon roads: "A gentle
man from southern Illinois passed
through here the other day, and while
the train stopped at the station
took occasion to remark concerning
the dry condition of our roads and
fields. He said that he had husked
the greater part of forty acres of corn
this winter and carted the same home
on his back, because he couldn't get
into his field with a team' on account
of the mud. Part of the time be said
bo bad to take a board and shove it
along to stand on, so as to keep from
gettii.g stuck in the mire. We would
advise said gentleman and bis neigh
bors to come to Nebraska, where the
soil doesn't turn into mud and stay
so, for more than a few dayB at its
worst."
As to Criminal.
With the prevalent system of pun
ishing criminals there seems to be a
great gap somewhere. An instance
to illustrate maybe imagined thus:
a poor man of large family, commits
a crime which sends him to the peni
tentiary for a number of years.
While he is there working for the
state, at low price, under a contractor
who reaps an immense profit from the
convict labor, his wife and children
may be suffering at home for the nec
essaries of life, or may be partly or
wholly supported at the expense of
the county in which they reside. It
may be said thit the family of a crim
inal arc better off without than with
him; that the state cannot afford
to do without the pittance that it gets
from contractors for the labor of its
convicts, &c, but it would seem that
while it is right to punish crime, and
make criminals feel the heavy hand
of the law, the interests of the inno
cent wife and children should be re
garded as of some moment. It would
be better if all crime could be pre
vented, than if all crime could be pun
ished. Then, while the system of
punishment is being applied with
more or less success as circumstances
vary, the public mind should be med
itating more just measures for the
maintenance of persons wholly or
partially dependent upon the convict
ed criminal. If justice, natural Jus
tice and right, is not a sufficient mo
tive to actuate the public mind, con
sideration of self-protection in lesson
ing the number of criminals that may
prey upon coming generations ought
to be.
The community which, by its laxity
in punishing criminals, by its inaction
in encouraging, stimulating and fos
teriug institutions that tend to make
men better (thus sensibly decreasing
the number of criminals), invites
them into -their midst,1 should make
some effort to work a change in their
moral'character;
Apropos of the general subject of
the treatment of criminals, the Chi
cago Times contributes the following
paragraph: " "Justice to taxpaying
citizens demands tht convicts not on
ly jay by their labor in prison the en
tire cost .of maintenance, including
the salaries of the -officials who have
charge of them, but that they pay in
addition the cost of their trial and
transportation from the jail to prison.
Indeed, it seems as if justice required
that each culprit should, after dis
charging his indebtedness to the state,
be made to labor long enough to
compensate the individuals be has
wronged. At present the person whe
haa been robbed of his goods reoeives
no compensation for his loss, but, on
the ..other band, he is generally sub
jected toTa great loss of time and
money in attending trials, procuring
wituesseaand employing detectives.
As .consequence he has a strongs pe
cuniary motive Hb; make,' terms with
the "culprit in order to' reclaim his
property, and no inducement to pros
ecute him. "

We give a very brief synopsis of
the excellent essay of Mrs. C. S. Reed
at the public meeting of the W. S. A.
Wednesday evening. The fact that
many women express indifference is
an argument in favor of conferring
the responsibility of citizenship upon
them. The separation of the sexes is
unnatural and demoralizing, every
where. If we muet have limited
suffrage, let the line be drawn in
reference to purity, morality, intelli
gence and patriotism. Womah sho'd
be free, and is free now to work in
any capacity in which, she shows fit
ness. The closing sentences deserve
to be framed in gold, as containing
the very heart of the present issue:
"Whoever claims tlyit there can be for
her a position higher than as the
arbiter of home, in tho capacity of
wife and mother, claims an impossi
bility, for there is none higher. The
christian family is the highest product
of our civilization. It distinguishes
the savage from the civilized state,
order, purity and peace, from misrule
and corruption. Whatever affects
the wellbeing of the family, affects
the prosperity of the commonwealth.
What dims its brightness takes from
our country its chief glory; what
undermines it, tears away the founda
tion of our glorious republic. I be
lieve the general tendency to under
rate home interests and home work
for the young women of this country
is injurious. I want to see woman
enfranchised, not that she may be
freer to cope with men in manly
ways, but that in whatever sphere her
work may be and especially in that of
mother, she may feel an intelligent
responsibility as a citizen of this re
public. Our country needs all that
woman, fully enlightened in the prin
ciples of civil government can do
joined to all good men can do to free
us from existing evils, and to preserve
the liberties of this great republic."

On Monday night of last week, Mr.
Wm. Lacey was awakened at about
half past eleven o'clock by aery of
distress coming from his horse stable,
which he at ouce saw to be on fire.
Going out, he found it in flames, hav
ing evidently been fired at the west
end. He supposed, from appearances
that it had been afire about five min
utes before he saw it. He endeav
ored to get one of his horses out of
the burning building, br: only suc
ceeded in reaching the door, where
the horse fell dead, smothered
by tho smoke. Five horses
perished, besides a number of hogs
worth probably worth $50. The loss
otherwise was $75 in lumber and two
sets of harness in all estimated at
$700 to $800. One of the teams was
very recently purchased at a cost
of $210, and the loss (no insurance, so
we learn), will fall very heavily upon
Mr. Lacey, who is illy able to bear
it. His immediate neighbors had, in
few minutes after learning of the
unfortunate affair, donated Mr. L.
$150, and it is to be hoped that the
6ura will be increased to a good round
amount. Mr. L. is spoken of as a
very worthy man and citizen, with a
family of eight children.
The origin of tho fire (at this writ
ing) remains a mystery. There seems
to be no way of accounting for it ex
cept as the work of an incendiary.
It is to be hoped for humanity's sake
at least, that Platte Co. contains no
villian so hideous of character as
to be able to do a deed bo in
famous as this would be, under the
supposition that It was malicious aud
premeditated.
On Monday evening the family re
tired early, between seven and eight
o'clock, and everything was quiet.
At half past ten Mr. and Mrs. R. W.
Sutton aud John Eyman pas&ed the
place going home, and everything
was quiet. The surrounding country
bad been burned by prairie fire, so
that nothing could be attributed in
that direction. The stable having a
hay roof, there was no trouble in set
ting it on fire.
Tke Ladder rLearaia."
Editor Journal: I have just read
article No. 2, on "What to Teach," by
Mr. G. W. Stevens. My mother
taught me to reverence gray hairs.
To gray hairs which have often been
in proximity to the scalping knife, I
would render double homage. Aud
yet, believing that important interests
arc involved in the question, I must
firmly maintain tho position taken in
my former article. Mr. Stevens has
ratherf established, than over-thrown
that, position. If it is unpractical and
impracticable to compel a boy who was
cut out for a grocer's clerk to study
Latin and.Greek, it is equally so to
force one who was designed for a
painter, poet, novelist or historiau to
agonize over an arithmetic or spel
ling book. These are the two sides
of the question ; Mr. Stevens advo
vates but one side.
I say -nothing about are present
school law ; my object is to influence
the power behind the throue, which
makes and unmakes laws. Nor am
I discussing the comparative merits
of different studies, or Latin, Algebra,
History, etc. To put it sharp, the
poiutslmakearetwo: 1. The thing
of chief importance is discipline, the
education of the mind aud heart. If
this object-can be reached more per
fectly and naturally in the study of
the dead languages, thau in the study
of mathematics, the former should be
employed chiefly. Of course the
capacity and natural bent of tho child
should always be given duo weight.
The teacher must study as well as
teach, and seek, uot to transform the
child into his ideal of a man, but to
foster and develop every natural aud
healthy tendency of the childish mind
in the direction of manly strength
and maturity. If in any case this can
be accomplished in the study of lit
erature, or natural science, the child
should be encouraged to give special
attention to the particular branch
adapted to his mind ; and at the same
time other studies should not be dis
continued. This leads naturally to
the next point : 2. The ranr;e of
studies in our public schools should
not be limited by any "practical" cal
ling or profession. The tendency of
the times is toward the minute class
ification of labor and talent. There
is an increasing demand for trained
specialists who can do some one thing
in a superior manner. This demand
must be met, and for this very reason
I urge the importance of imparting
to the youug a large amount of eclec
tic knowledge.
For, one who is constantly moving
in a monotonous round of toil, is in
great danger of becoming a mono
maniac. If the physical man is thus
under contraint the mind should be
able to wander in untrammeled free
dom, and even to seek green fields
aud pastures new. And when the
day's work is done one should turn
both hand and brain to other employ
ments. How many might be kept
from intemperance and vice, if trained
from childhood to seek recreation in
the acquisition of knowledge for its
own sake I
Mr. Stevens says that work of this
kind should be done as "circum
stances may permit." Would it uot
be just as plausible to say, Devote
the child's school days to the acquis
ition of this "lore of a higher grade,"
which is likely to be neglected if left
till he is older; let him get the three
R's as "circumstances may permit,'
or necessity compel. For, if he has
a practical mind, he is pretty sure to
learn to write aud reckon, of his own
accord. Again Mr. Stevens says, the
higher brauches of learning "belong
to a special institution, the college."
For what reason ? Is there not two
sides to this question? Is the dan
ger of starvation the greatest danger
which confronts the babe, so that he
must be hastily indoctrinated in the
ways of the "practical" world, taught
to turn an honest penny and earn bis
bread? Or is there another' danger
'equally groat? the danger of becom
ing sordid, mercenary, selfish, world
ly, narrow-minded and grasping?
Why not "begin at the other end of
the ladder?" Why not?
If our bread and butter is all we
are to 6eok for in this world, auy sort
of education is superfluous. "The
barbarous savage," whose "uplifted
tomahawk" came so near ending the
career of Mr. Stevens, probably never
felt the need of knowing how to spell.
If it is for happiness we are to seek,
we can get happiness without money
which money cannot buy. I shall
make the almighty dollar my servant
by refusing to become its slave.
My ewn experience as teacher and
student leads me to divide the young
into three classes, those who prefer
the study of mathematics or natural
science, those who prefer the study
of lauguages or literature, and those
who prefer not to 6tudy at all. The
last is by far the most numerous class.
I hope the boy of whom Mr. Stevens
speaks is not found in its ranks. If
this should happen to meet bis eye the
following may help him.
An eminent living scholar said in
tho presence of the writer, "I have
made it a rule from my childhood to
give special attention to all those
branches of 6tudy which seemed to
me most difficult and distasteful. I
would not let them master me ; I mas
tered them."
The boy who adopts that rule will
be sure of success.

Ed. Journal: The editorial in
last issue of your paper so completely
demonstrates my position, and anni
hilates that of "Not a Lawyer"
that nothing farther is necessary upon
that subject. Any Bide issue the gen

be met by the party interested.

John Ernst, who has been on a visit
to Switzerland, returned on Friday
last, accompanied by Tedro Schup
bach, Caesar and Gustav Ernst, Albert
Haeggi, wife and child, Marie Meyer,
Marie and Ellie Specheger, Anna
Marti, and Jacob aud John Yauzer,
all from the canton of Berne. The
trip was made in 16 days 2 from
Switzerland to Bremen, 10 from Bre
men to New York, and 4 from there
here. Mr. Ernst, who has made five
trips upon the ocean, says that this
was his finest voyage. The ship Elbe,
in which they came, is 420 feet long,
50 feet high, and bad in it 24 furnaces,
burning 130 tons of coal a day. Re
turning, she had on board 1430 pas
sengers and a crew of 178, besides a
large amount of freight, and still had
room in the first cabin for 500 addi
tional passengers.
Mr. Ernst made the trip more espe
cially to see his mother, who is in
her eighty-fourth year. We learn
from him many interesting items in
regard to the country, people, and
business interests, ofwhich we give a
fow. Land, according to location,
sells at $100 to $500 an acre; the
country is too densely populated for
the poorer class to flourish well ; the
main industries are manufactures and
dairies ; day laborers get 30 cents a
day. farm bands. $50 to $60 a year,
mechanics, 60 to 80 conts a day. The
chief farm products now are grass
and potatoes, from the latter of which
is made a good quality of whisky.
