DCBUQOE , June 25. The report
ant out from Galena that Grant had
d clrjd his Intention to support
Hancock for president , i denied. It
rose from him glvinpit as his opinion
that Hancock would bt elected.
[ Vtsochted Press Dispa'ch.
This explanation if , to say the least ,
not a very creditable ona to the gen
eml wb.nso opinion on the proudon-
tisl race will not do to tet on. It
was the general's opinion that he
vould be put on the track for a third
term , but he s&dly miscalculated.
DrjEiJfo the visit of Governor For.-
Jer , of Ohio , to New York City a few
flaya ago , ho atited in the presence of
United States Marshal Ru'sell , of
Texas , and others that when the vote

sitting by "my tide and tuined
loathly pils. " After recovering
Irom the shock , continued the gover
nor , Garfield exclaimed : "For God's
rke , can it be possible that Sherman
think I have proved untrue to
him ] "
THE demoiratic papers edited for
t ie moet put by moss-basked copper-
luads are quoting the following eec-
liment of President Haven , when in
t'le army , against General Gar field :
Any man who would leave the army
pt this time to electioneer for congreps
ir any other place ought tobessttped.
Your , R. B. HAYES.
Now , the fact is that General Gar-
fiell did not leave the army to elec
tioneer for himself. He was elected
while in the field , without solicitation
on bis part or any interruption of his
duties. Ho renuimd in the army
ri > re than n year after his election.
He resigned at last most reluctantly ,
01 the advice of General Bosecrans
and Preiident Lincoln , the republican
niijority in congress in 18G3 having
been reduced t-j twenty-two , and the
need of good talkers who knew some-
th'ng of army matters being mott
pressing. General Garfield on the
military committee probably did
greater service to the country than to
c. uld have done ia the field.

OMAIIA is justly proud of her pub
lic schools. There U , however , much
room for "improvement. The high
school commencement , lika the sky
rocket display Thursday night in
honor of Hancock and English , was a
showy demonstration. These com
mencement exhibitions gotten up
merely for dramatic effect , charm the
eye and ear but fail to exhibit what
the friends of popular education moat
desire to see the practical test of the
scholarship in the branches that will
make intelligent , self-EU5taning men
and women of our girls aad boys.
Recitations and fsjays by a few "grad
uates , " carefully and elaborately pro-
pired for theoccwion , do not enlight
en us as to the fuad of useful knowl
edge acquired in our schools. The
mostflishy essayist very frequently
may be a dunce in the very studies
that are most essential. The gradua
ting class 1880 , i * perhaps , as profi
cient in the branches of instruction
tiught in our high school as any other
class could be with the facilities for
culture , but the trouble is that our
bJ h school is managed on an econom
ical plan in the number of teichers ,
that must teriously cripple its efficien
cy. What c n bo expected of a high
acVol with only two 'teacher and
pjorly paid at tha ?
Our board of education has been
p-uning and pruning from year to year
until there is but very little left of the
High School and If that parsimonious
policy is to bo pursued hereafter they
may as well abolish the High School
grade and invest the money now
suandcr < ri iu experimental high
school teaching on a live , .energetic ,
efficient superintendent under whcs3
supervision common schools would im
prove and become equal to the wants
of the mass. We say this in no dis
paragement of the teachers in our
Jitgh sshool or Professor Beal. The
j latter is doubtless laboring conscien-
.
tbusly . to the beat of his pysical abil
ity ( , but the fact is no man of his age
and with such a feeble constitution
can do iustico to the position.
ACCOKDJSO to the St. Louis Globe-

Suit * Fe railroad Company is pushing
its extension in New Mexico vigorous
ly. Parlies just returned from Tuc
son report that the work is progressing
rapidly down the Rio Grande in the
direction of El Paso , and that the
griding is completed eighty miles
s mth to Albuquerque , and from
o.io and a half to * two and. a
quirter miles of Irack is now be
ing laid per day. Work is also pro
gressing on the Kingman survey as far
west as New Fort Wmgate , about IfiO
m'les west of Albuquerque. This is
the route which was surveyed by Mr.
Kingman last summer. It passes
through the southern portion of the
San Carlos Indian resirvrtion , crosses
the White river mountains above San
Carlos , down into GiU canyon to a
pointa fewmilea above old Camp Grant
and thenca around the western base of
the Santa Oatarina mountains to
Tucson. Mr. Thornton and a survey-
in < pirly have gone to Guayma ,
where the preliminary work has been
commenced for the construction of the
road from that place oast. Contrary
to qeneral supposition , it is not going
to stop at the end of the diyision of
thirty miles , but will be pushed on
east or notth to Arizona as fast as the
grading can be done. There will be
gt'
two ' surveys made ojo to the Rio
t'G
Grande , to strike some sixty
miles north of El Paso , and ono to
Tucson. It is not positively known
that the northern branch is to be ex
tended to Tucson , but it is the gen
eral impression of all the men'con-
nected with the road that it is to go
direct to Tucson , and that branch will
be built from the main line west of

ful friend , James A. Ship , all his
wardrobe , private and theatrical. To
Annie Deland Finnegan ( whose 'maid-
eifrAme was Annie Djland ) he gave
all the remainder of his property , real
and perconal. In the will was the
line , so characteristic of the man , "To
all my friends I have kind thoughts. "
.A correspondent writes of a recent
appc'iranre of Ristori as "Marie Stu
art in Rome : "Al hough terribly old
and thredish-looking , Ristori never
theless remains etill a magnificent ac
tor. But she is growing a little too
mrssive for the stage At Milan , last
winter , she was not at all courteously
received. ' 'You're "
too old ! was
shouted at her. Hearing thi she
stopped abort in what she was siyinp ,
and turning to the speaker , she raid ,
"You are too polite ! " which sained
her a storm of applauf c , acd she was
not insulted a a'n during her stay
there.
THE3 SMALL PRY.
Ada ( aged four ) , w"o was doing
something , and was to'd ' to desist by
her mother. Mother : uAda , am I
to speik to you again ? " "Yes , ma , If
yon like. "
"What shall I give you ? What
would you like best ) " ho said to the
charming widow's little girl. 'Td
like to have a little brother , " laid ehe ,
And the widow bliahed.
A little bey , etching-the burning
cf the school-house until the -novelty
of the thing ceased , started down the
street , saying : "I'm glad the old
thing's burned down ; I didn't hwe my
jogfry leeson no how. "
A promising youth recently surpris
ed bis father by aiking , "Father , do
you like mother ? " "Why , yea , of
comas. " "And she likes you ? " "Of
course shn does. " * Did obe ever say
BO ? " "Many a time , my son. " "Did
she marry you because she loved
you ? " "Certainly she did. " The boy
carefully scrutinized his parent , and ,
after a long pause , asked , "Well , was
sheas near-lighted aa she is now ? ' *
Eli Perkios' laurels are in danger.
Last Sunday one of our Sundayechool
superintendent' , on his way to church ,
met a boy with afiahing pole. "Where
are you going with that pola ? " asked
the superintendent. He had not seen
the buy since the last time he filed up
at the Sunday school picnic. "Please ,
sir , I've got a nicked father who sends
ma out to fi'h every Sundiy morning ,
but as soon as I get out of sight of the
house I am going to play hookey and
come to Sunday shool. " s
A small boy was sent to the country
to boirJ a short time ago. He
promised his mother te would write
a good long letter , describing his trip ,
boarding-piace , etc. A week went by ,
and his poor mother waj nearly dis
tracted , when she got the fallowing
interesting letter from him : "lam
here , and I swapped my watch fcr a
pup , and he is the boas pup ; and I
went in swimming fourteen times
yestsrday , and a feller stole my prcket-
\ book , and I want some money ; and
I'll bring the pup home. "
"Father , said a boy of some fifteen
springs , "all the fellers 've got
bicycles , 'nd mother says she gue ses
you'll get me ono , I wouldn't ask for
a cent for anything , 'nd I'd split all
the wood , 'nd shovel all the paths , 'nd
do all thearrauts. 'nd " "Its no use ,
my son ; I'm not able to buy you a
bicycle. I " "Wei' ' , then , wont yon
buy me a base ball ? " Again the
paternal veto. But that boy , even
: hen , was not utterly cast down. No ;
Ihe last seen of him he was begging his
mother for an empty mustard pot , to
make a devil's fiddle.
Thirty small boys wore arrested in
Dallas , Texas , for giving a negro
minstrel show without a license , the
: omplainant being the owner of an old
building which they had used without
permission. They were tried before
the mayor , who said : "I find the
prisoners guilty , and fine them $1
lacb. The alternative is one day in
ail. " The consternation among the
'Senders was very great. "But , " his
loner added , "I was a boy once my-
elf , and went on the end in such a
performance. I will pay these fines
myself. "

8ANTA CLAUS FOUND.
Greatest Discovery of the Ago.
Wonucrful discoveries In the world hive been made
Among other things where Santa Clans stayed ,
Children oft ak if he makes goods or not ,
H really he lives in a mountain of sncnr.
Last year an excursion sailed dear to tha Pol *
And suddenly dropped into what seemed lOteciol *
Where wonder of wonders they round anewland ,
While fairy-like beings appeared on each hand.
There were mountains like out , with more
beautiful green.
And far brighter sides than ever wen ieen ,
Birds with the hues of a rainbow were found ,
While flowers of exquisite fragrance were crow
ing around.
Not long were they left to wondtr in donbf ,
being soon came they had heard much about ,
Twas Santa Claus' self and this they all say ,
He lacked like the picture r ( see every day.
He drove up a team that looked very queer ,
Twas a team f grasshoppers instead of reindeer ,
He rode in a shell instead of a sleigh ,
But be took them on bovd and drove them
away.
Ho show ed them all brer his wondtrful realm ,
And factories snaking goods for women nd men.
Furriers were working on bats great and mall ,
To Bnnce's tbev said they were sending them afl.
Kris Klngle , the Glove Maker , told them at once ,
AH our Gloves we are sending to Bunce ,
Santa showed them suspenders and many things
mere.
Saying I alie took thee to Mend Bonce's store.
Santa Claus then whispered a secret he'd tell ,
As in Oiraba every one knew Bunce Veil ,
He therefore should send his goods to bis can ,
Knowing his friends will get their lull share.
Now remember ye dwellers in Omaha town ,
All who want pregentt to Bunco's go round.
For shirts , collars , orgloves great and small ,
Send year sister or aunt one and all.
