SUCH another oulpouring of the
people of this city Thursday evening
to ratify the nomination of Hancock :
and English , has not been witnessed
in its history. [ Herald.
The editor of the Herald is laboring
under a delusion. There hasn't been
H presidential nomination since 1864
that wasn't ratified by a more numer
ous assemblage of people in Omaha.
We remember very distinctly the
demonstration twelve years ago in
hon'T of Seymour and Blair , which
was addressed by nearly the tame dis
tinguished orators that glorified Han
cock and English Thursday night. Olal
al
la those days , with let * than half altl
the population , Omaha turned out tln
fully a great a crowd as were present tlS
at tbe late jamboree. As to this dem S
onstration being the greatest outpour rev
ing of people ever seen in Omaha , it v
! the veriest bosh. George Francis
Train has time and again addressed
t
greater crowds in Omaha , and the
o
demonstration in honor of Grant in
C
1868 was far more imposing The
C
truth ie , the oufporing Thursday night ol
WM a very tame affair , considering olC'
the outlay for bonfires , eky-rockets is
and brats bauds.

ENGLAND has always been ahead of ccw
all the world in her postal service. It
al
haa been the policy of the Britieh gov in
ernment to make the peats ! service ing'
g'
an useful , cheap and convenient medi g'of )
um of communication between all ofwi
wi
clmaes of her people. England has wiOl
Ol
set the example to this conn- Olul
try ln improving almost every to
a
branch of the postal service. She toac
ac
introduced penny postage , the money acm
order system and registration of let- m
ton. She is ahead of America now m
in the nutterof postal telegraphy. canc
And now another important innovation nc
th
tion is about to bo inaugurated in the
th
English postal service. This new departure
tate
parture threatens to have an impor
tant influence on upon the banking towi
wire
eystern and circulating medium of that wiL
L
country.
The British Postmaster General pro ro
poses that money orders may bo sold tliCO
CO
at any Post-Office in any quantity , COH
bound in volume * like banker * ' checkbooks
th
books , and redeemable on presenta
tion at any Post-Office. The orders tlvi ;
vi
will be printed with the words "one viw
shilling , " "two shillings and six w
pence , " "five shillinc , " and BO on in inso
< half crowns till the denomination of soai
pounds is reached. People desirous ai
of reuimltting money will send as
many of these M will make up the sum.
They mayjill up the order with the P' li
(
name of t Post-Office , and iho order
will therefore become payable U
mst
at that office only ; and they mm
may put in the name of a person , and m
st
then only the parson named can get
the money ; or they may leave the [
>
order blank , and thereupon the person
th
receiving it c n pans it to another person
tii
son , thus making It virtually money.
The objections mode to the plan by todi
di
the .British journals are : Danger of
forgery ; that it will increase the temptation ev
of
tation to steal on the part * of clerks ofm
and letter-carriers ; that there is a m
WAnt of elasticity in the system on ac
count of the absence of small fractional
th
al parts of shillings and pounds , so la
much used in Great Britain ; and that laril
ril
it will tend to expand the cir
culating medium of the country.
"But the major number of these
objections inhere to any system for tha
of . Doubtleea
transmission money. IsT
although some British journals aver it IsTdf
would not , because the money Is de- df
p-jaltsd for every order taken out it 811
would increase the volume of circulation

tion , f ; r the government would not m ]
lock up. the money it received ; but mnc
ih's would do no harm. On the con nc
trary , it would give a safe stimulus to ncU
of
bucinets and supply that small papf.r
circulation , the absence of which is at
EC
limes severely felt in England. The sii
bank of England issues no notes of a !
lower denomination than $25 , and the
banks of Ireland and Scotland of less
than $5 , .which i one reason why this Sb he

The exorbitant exactions
pools have during the preseafseason
directed a largo r-'i.on.of the gram
export to t * * ake and canal route * .
Tn before in the history of the
country have the shipments of grain
from the interior to tbe east by the
water route borne any comparison
with those of this season. The
fact that the receipts at Buffalo
for the month of June were in
excess of the receipts from the open
ing of navigation to June 30th of last
year is a striking proof of the magni
tude of this year's crain movement by
the water rout" . The Buffalo Cbm-
mtrcial-Adtertiser , of July 1 , furnish
es the fello wing facts and figures :
The total imports of grain for the
months of Juno reached 17,442,000
buaheh to 7,905,000 in Juno 1870and
14,416,000 for last season up to 'July
1. The gain is chiefly in flour ,
wheat and corn. The movement
of the two latter is out of nil
proportion to that of any preceding
spason , etanSing at 16 00,000 bush els
of wheat for the season o June 30th ,
aud 21,480,000 of corn to 8,078,000
of wheat , and 4,177,000 , of corn , for
the corresponding period in 1879.
The total receipts of all kinds of grain ,
including flour as wheat , at th"d port
this season is 40,586,000 bushels.
The largest preceding total for the
same weeks was 25,674,000 bushels in
1878 , ahd the next largest was 20,312-
1 00 in 1874.
The canal trade has also been veiy
largo and the business pioaperoug.
Boatmen have been kept employed the
entire season , and the rates of freight
have been patisfactory nearly all of
the time. The shipments frem
Buflalo to the eat by canal this
season reach 23,014,000 bushels , which
is more than two aud a half times as
much al was shipped last season.
The total 11 1878 , which season makes
the next beat showing was 19,102,000
bushels.
Asa natural result of thia enormous
grain movement the receipts from tolls
have been much larger than for late
j-eaw. The total collections at this
port reach § 242,522 , which is § 137-
D02 in excess of the receipts for the
orrespouding months last season.
Iho collections on v\\ \ the csnals up to
and including the third week in Juno ,
ending the 22d , were as follow ? :
1879. 1880.
Mi week of April. ? 846,271 82

The toll receipts since the above
official figures were closed will reach
t least $ ? 60,000 more , which will swell
the revenues for practically two
months of canal navigation to nearly
5400,000. These figures do not look
much as though the canal * had sur
vived their usefulness.
THE first railroad train will enter
Leadville Monday. This is an event
ot vast importance to the people of
Colorado , and in fact to the whole
country. ! Leadville is located on an
deration of over 10,000 feet , and the
Construction of a railway to that point
in itself a feat in railway engineer
ing. The immediate effect of the
joinpletion of the railroad to Leadville
will be the cheapening of freights ,
ibolttion of stege-coachea and freight-
ng caravans that have contributed a
rreat deal to the transient prosperity
f Leadville. The connection by rail
rith the outer world will , however , in
mr opinion , tend 'o decrease the pop-
ilation of that city , and can not fail
decrease the commercial
tctivity that has up till now
nade Leadville a feral point for the
nining business of Colorado. People a
an go to Leadville for less money
iow , but they can also get away from
hero for less , and many will avail
hemsolves of the chance. The ox-
ansion of the railroad from Leadville a
the Gunnison country , will ,
rithin a few mouths ; leave
< advillc as a way station on the a
oad to the great mining camps and
lien she will relapse to the normal tih
condition of a mining town like Black h
3awk and Georgetown. Denver on
I
he other hand , will be the gainer by d
he completion of the roads to Lead-
rillo and Gunnison. Her merchants
Till more than over supply the min- t
ng camps and draw from them the

There was a newly married pair In c
Sioux city Thursday that WM a little ti
out of the common run of happy f <
couples. The groom was Pat Farley , t ]
gentleman from the Emerald Isle.
The blushing bride is a daughter of
LeFJecb , head chief of the" Omahas ,
and a full sister of Bright Eyes , the
young Indian girl who has created
such a sensation in the eastern states
during her recent lecturing tour. Mr .
Farley has some white blood in her j
veins , but Pat loves her none the lessy
that account. He says that his
n
people may object to his choice , but { ,
that as he is happy their objections n
will be wasted on him. The bride

rather pretty young lady. She has "
been a teacher in the agency school
for some time. After passing a night

stepped in front of the' conple'and
proceeded to repeat the customary

lady , had been put and promptly ack
nowledged , he declared them man and

repaired to tbo parlor , where a brief
1 reception was held. The greetings
between the bride and many of her
late pupils was affectionate in the ex
treme. The groom , who was known
to some of the older pupils , kissed the
young ladiea and little girls as fervant-
ly aa did his newly-made wife.
EDUCATIONAL NOTES.
Six young colored men have just
been graduated by Fisk university.
The Indiana State university has
had 340 students in attendance this
year.
year.The
The salariea.of the teachers in the
Indianapolis schools have been in
creased. The salaries are to be pro
portioned to their teaching experience.
Brown university expectsa fresh
man class of at least eighty members.
More than 100 candidates presented
themselves for examination last week.
The annual report of the University
of Colorado has been issued , showing
that the institution is rjpidly growing.
The number of students in the univer
sity is now 89.
St. Louis had in 1879 53 flourishing
kindergartens , with about4000 pupil * ,
130 paid te.iohurs and G5 volunteer
assistants. The entire cost for the
year was a little over $20,000 to $5.70
for each pupils.
A party of seventy students and
former students of Elmira Feu'ale
college has just started for the Lake
Superior copper district. It is the
thirtieth annual scientific and pleas
ure excursion made under the auspices
of the college.
Fifty young woman have just been
admitted to Smith Collega , at North
ampton , M.xss. When the Fall term
opanatho membership will probably
be about 250. Probably a fifth dwell
ing house for students will be built

South Carolina has now in active
operation six colleges of high grade ,
each having a full oorps of competent
instructors. There are alto in the
State six flourishing seminaries for
young women ; three military acade
mies , and a university for colored per
sons It iaexpected that the old South
Carolina college will soon be re-estab
lished. All the colleges , etc. , are well
filled , and the public schools are in
excellent condition.
France has agricultural schools for
girls. One of the chief is near Rouen ,
which is said to have been begun with
a capital of 1 franc by a Sister of
Charity and two little discharged pris
oner girla , and to be now worth
$100,000. This establishment has
300 girls from eight to eighteen. The
farm , entirely cultivated by them , is
over 400 acres in extent. The staff of
teachers consist * of twenty-five sisters.
More than one medal of the French
Agriculturaleociety hasjjeen awarded
to this establishment aj Darnetel , and
the pupils are in great demand all
over Normandy on account of their
skill. They go out as stewards , gar
deners , farm managers , dairy women
and laundresses. Each girl has , on
leaving , an outfit and a small sum of
money , earned in spare hours. If they
want a home they can always return
to Darnetel.
At a teachers' institute held in
Gold. Hill , Nev. , the other day , one
speaker gave voice to some strong
opinions on the modern fashion of
teaching geography. He declared that
the making of detailed maps is a
waste of labor , and that compelling a
pupil to bound every state in the
Union is a piece of barbarism for
which a teacher should be indicted.
He added that the mere memorizing
of facts and figures without the asso
ciation of ideas , is of no benefit to any
one ; and that he thought it better to
have a general knowledge of geographi
cal outlines and an understanding of
the topography of the country than '
to pay so much"attention to worthless
details which load the mind without
improving it. Particular attention ,
> e thought , should ba given to local
geography that of the state and coun
try in which the pupiL lives. He
illustrated tha unintelligent fashion
in which advanced geography is taught
by this little story : A young woman
in the California Normal school whose
betrothed is a fireman on the railroad ,
was asked : ' 'What is a water-shed ? "
She answered : A place where the
engine stops to take in water. "
IMPIETIES.
Mrs. DcGroot , who has built a
church in Newark , New Jowey , at her
own expense , has had a clause put in
the deed 'o ' the effect that if fairs , fes
tivals , or other entertainments be held
therein , the property shall revert to
the original owner. It .is supposed
that the benevolent lady had , at some
time , wrestled with a church stew.
The missionaries report a famine in
red shirts , plug hats , fans and aixteen-
button kids in the heathen country.
The little boy instead of putting "his
Sunday pennies in the plate plants
them under the barn , and they won't
bo ripe until the Fourth. In consequence
quence , the heathen will have to go
short on luxuries until after the up
roar is over.
The Leadville Chronicle publishes
the following as an actual fact : " .But
pass , " said one of our ministers last
Sunday , in dismissing one theme of
hid subject to take up another. "Then
make it spades , " yelled a man In the
gallery , who was dreaming the happy
hours away In an imaginary game of
euchre. It is needless to say that he
went out on the next deal , assisted by
one of the deacons.
A. young man was given a front seat
In a Columbus ( Ohio ) church , on ac
count of alleged .deafness. Soon after ot
the collection had been taken up the
Fellow was seen to transfer the cash , in
the box , which had been left near
trim , to his own pocket. A diminutive -
tivo deacon attempted , to arresft him ,
but ho broke and fled , the pastor and
congregation following. He was
finally run down and the money se
cured.
There's an old Baptist darky in
ETart county , Ky. , known as Tom to
Wood. A Methodist D. D. also lire *
near Tom , and when the two mtet the [
former twits Tom about his , close com
munion. On a recent- occasion they
met , and the doctor thought he'd puti _
old Tom in a tight place ; so he said ,
"Uncle Tom , we may as well Bottle

BANTA OIiATJS FOUND.
Greatest Discovery of tbe Age.
Wonuciful discoveries In the world have been made
Among other things where Santa Claus stayed ,
Children oft ask U he makes ioods or not ,
If really he lives In a mountain of enow.
Last year an excursion sailed clear to the Pol *
And suddenly dropped Into whatseemedlikeuhole
Where wonder of wonders they found a new land ,
tVhile fairy-like beings appeared on each hand.
There were mountains like ours , with more
beautiful green ,
And far brighter skies than ever wera seen ,
Birds with the hues of a rainbow were found ,
While flowers of exquisite fragrance were grow
Ing around.
Not long were they left to wonder In doubr ,
A being soon anne the/ had beard much about ,
Twas Santa Claus * self and this they all say ,
Holeoked like the picture f csee every day.
He drove up a team that looked very queer ,
'Twas a team f grasshoppers Instead of reindeer ,
lie rode in r. abell instead of a sleigh.
But he took them on bovrd aud drove them
away.
He showed them all over his wonderful realm ,
And factories making goods for women and men.
Furriers were working on bats great and email ,
To Bunco's they said they were sending them all.
Kris Klngle , the Olove Kaker , told them at once ,
All our Gloves we are sending to Bunce ,
Santa showed them suspenders and many thing !
mere.
Saying I alse took these to friend Bunco's store.
Santa Claus then whispered a secret he'd tell ,
Ag In Omaha every one knew Bunce well ,
He therefore should send his goods to bis care.
Knowing his friends will get their full share.
Now remember ye dwellers In Omaha town ,
All who want presents to Bunco's go round ,
For shirts , collars , or gloves great and small ,
Send your sister or aunt one and all.
