That School Trouble ,
To the Editor oi THE UKK.
Will you bo kind enough to give mo a
clmnco to answer , through your paper ,
tlio fslio ( statements made by Danlol
O'KeofFj , and publiahod in THK BEE :
"Iho school opened the 12th of January ,
and two or three days nftor ho whipped a
Binnll child till ho foil to tbo floor ( the
child , leuppoeo ) "
Norr , air , O'Keeflfo knows tint the
oohool did not open till the 14th oE Janu
ary , and on the 20th of January Uio tench
cr waa compelled to punish a boy of
Gcorgo Wotmoru , whoso ago waa 12 or 13
years , but not till ho fell to the floor , as
O'Keelfe eiys. : Two days afterwards the
icachor punished ono of O'KecflVa boys
for being aauoy nnd telling stories
about another scholar whl h wore
not truo. O'Keoffo then ro-
poitcd to the ashool board , and
throughout the district that the teacher
] iad Btrock tha boy with the butt end ot a
ridlnt ; whip over tbo arm and elbow and
the buy was not able to use his arm. The
boy , I am informed , was aeon coasting
iho anne dty that be Ind received the
pnniahiuunt. There ia not a tcholar in
eclioul who saw Iho ho/ punished but
contradicted O'Keellu'a statements , I
lieard O'Cedl'j notify the toichcr that
hi * HarvlccB would not bo required after
the 12th of February. I drotv up a petition -
tion romoiiHtratlng ngninst the action of
O'Koefl'e and twenty persons signed it.
All were rojldanta of the district and
most of them patroiiH of tha school. I
loft the petition with the school director ,
Mr. Thomas Hyan. When O'lvetil'e siw
the p-til ion ho then cillod a mootldg of
the school doard to moat at Superinten
dent iiruimor's oflicn , The object was to
try the teacher and if possible remove
him , 1 learned this and
drovr up another petition like the
one which had been loft with the
Bchool board. With the aid of Mr. 0. A.
.Evens , Mr. Frilz Slonimo , Mra Bruce ,
vu not forty additional names , and 1 prc-
noutud the petition to the school board ia
the presence of Supt. Brunner and others.
O'Kotfo tried to drive SlemmoBrnco and
myajlf from Supt. Braunor'a oflice but
Jlyan and Brunnor objected. They
wuntod to kuow what wo had heard
through the district. After the school
bad by a veto of two to ono concluded to
retain tlio teacher , O Keofo said to Mr.
Kynti , ' 'I shult have to inform yon that
yon ara not an officer of the dis ric < ;
llj-an not having filed his hltor of acep-
tatico within ten days after hi ) election ,
although he haa been a echool ollicor for
nine years in thu aamo district and waa of
his own successor. The voucher of which
ho eneaku , ho could not bn compelled
to sign , for the reason that there was
no written contract. There were writ \
ten contract * filled out and signed by
O'Keolfd , and the teacher and O'Koeffjo
agreed to Uku them to the others
of the school board get them
to sign thorn and return ono to the
teacher as ho ( O'Koefl'e ) was working
Dear where the other tire lived. This of
ho did not do , nnd after he had forced as
the tronblo oa the district and the
teacher , destroyed or caused to be is
destroyed the contract I have Mr.
Hy n' consent to siy that ho never gave
hU consent ( o anyone to have the toacbnr (
discharged.
My motive * In starting the petition
will bo soon at a qlanco. O'KoefTo would
llko to have people think eomo one else
bad been doing the dlrly work Instead
of himself.
Mr. Parker has shown him sell to bo a
gentleman and a good school teacher
and seems to have the good will of all
the scholars now attending.

WASHINGTON , D. 0. , Feb. , 21 , 1835.
Tills day has witnessed the fmal ccieino
nlca attending the completion of the
Washington monument. The ploclgo
made by ouo of the oatly congresses , that
in this tno mtlonal cap'tal there should
bo erected a monument to commemorate
the great events of the military and r
lltlcil lifo of George Washington , " has
beau folly and sicmlly rodccaud by the
men of to day. True , it atood but pir-
tially built for moro thau thlrly yeais , a
broken shaft , like a g'unt oak of the for-
ett with all its fellows cut down around
It , and riven of Its bronchos by the light
nings of heaven ; or llko aomo abandoued
ilghihouau upon a distant and dia'ual
coast. Tflcro it has stood , bold and desolate -
elate in its grim grandutr , a constant re
minder of a nation' : ! unfaithfulness. But
t hai now risen towards tbo skies
.ill Us capjtono has baou laid
among the voty clouds of huavori , and
thoro'it will Btaud through the ages , and
will point t9 the coming tlmo _ and poo-
pto that which i the commm property
if the north and the south , the cast nnd
ho west , the name and the fame of
Washington.
The military and civic procession t3-
lay made a very huidsomo display. The
weather was arctic for saint and sinner ,
) ut this did not prevent tin assembling
of an immense throng around tno monu-
nont where the dedicatory exercises teak

The dedication prayer was delivered by
the Rev. Mr. Suter , rector of Christ
church , Alexandria , of which Washing
ton was .1 member ; and , from its length ,
seemed like an endless cable ; it had been
written and printed Ho icud and road
and read , while the people shook nir.
shivered as the pohr broaihidoj struck
them , chilling to the ve.'y bono
as if they had boon waftul
from "Greenland's fey mountains. " If
he had jtutaaldot the beginning , "Lotd I
have my prajcr here printed , but it is sj
long and the weither so cold that I will
not road It , but will ask leave to print it
in j the morning papers , " the audience
could have shouted an amen with an
unction that the elder of a Methodist
camp meeting would have envied. Ou
the occasion inaugurating the monument
thirty seven years ago , the chaplain de
livered5 a prayer winch filled nearly a
column and a half of the National Intelli
goncer , under the scorching rays of a
4th of July Washington sun , and they
almost melted with foivont heat. If the
strength and durability of the column are
in any degree cammoneurato with the
length of the prayer of opnsacratlon at the
beginning and the end it will staad for
ever.
In tha afternoon
THE 7IALL OF THE HOUSE
presented a brilliant scene. There was
githered there such an audience as rarely
greets the pride or the ambition of any
orator. The president of the United
States aiid his cibincnt , the members of
the senate and the house , tha judges of
the supreme court , officers of the army
and navy in glittering uniform * , the di
plomatlc corps , governors of states with
the'r ' stafl'i , were ther , while giiety and
fishion thronged the galleries aud lobbies
of the houco , Mr.Viuthrop had been
Ihe orator at the beginning , mid it was
fitting that no should bo
the oritor at the closa. It wai much to
bo regretted that his health and the rig
orous wintery weather prevented his
presence. The oration prepared by him
was delivered in an impressive and elo
quent iniuner by Ex-Gonruor Long , a
representative In congress from Mats-
chuectts. It is a beautiful production ,
classic in sylo , eloquent in thought and
matter , and in thn purest English , an
everything is that comes from his On-
Ished pen Eloquent as was his orition
at the commencement of thin work , this
of to-day is much its superior , thus ahow-
log his faculties as growing brijlrar with
advancing age , instead oE becoming
dimmed. John W. Daniel , of Virgiuii ,
also delivered a very fine address , well
conceivtd in i's spirit and its analysis of
Washington's character.
But I ttiited in to write , not so much
of the society and customs and ceremo
nies cf to day , as of Ilia scenes and ccr < j-
iionlos attending
THE LATINO OP THE COUNEU-STONE ,
which I wltnossoa thirty-seven years ago ,
and of some reminiecnccs , and of changes
which have takou place since then.
The military , the civic bodies , the fire-
ncn in their gay uniforms , the numerous
Masonic . fraternities In full regalia , as
hey marched down Pennsylvania avenue ,
'arnished a magnificent display. Gen.
Quitman , one of tha heroes
of the Mexican war , just returned from
ho fields of battle , was in command.
Clio president of the United Stater , and
sabinet , were in the projemlon , Gen.
Scott with h's ' staff rode in the line
mounted ; Soott with his massive frame
well nigh coven feet In height , in a bril-
iant uniform , sitting on a charger rela-
Ive in size and proportion to his rider ,
presented a majestic appouanco , Dolly
Madison , widowof ex-President Madison ,
and the widow of Alexander Hamilton
rode In an open baroacho , also several
heroes of the rovolatlon , many of the
war of 1812 , and of the Mexicm war ,
were ia the line. The ceremonies at the
comer stong were of a most Impressive
and Imposing chiraoter. Corcoran was
ho only one present then and now , to
link that event with the event of to-day.
Mr. Winthrop closed his address on
that occasion with theco eloquent
words ;
The republic may periih , the wide arch of
ranged union may fall , star by star iU glory
nay expire , etoua by ( tone its columns and
U capital may crumble , all other names which
idorn it ) nunals may ba ( orgotteu , but at

ALL HAVE PASSED AWAY.
Not a m-jinber of the present govern
incut , not a member of the present couato
or house of ropreseatattvcs was then ii
national public life. Webster , Clay , Cal-
houti and Uontou , wore the gnat centra
figures of the then senate. The mme of
Gladstone was hardly known cutsido the
limits tf England. Boujitnin Dis-
rn'U had but recently become famil-
br to the tcsdcrs of fiction ;
afterwards making tin name of Botcons-
field famous ; hjrds John Hussll and
Palmoraton wens the names ihea fore-
mest in British aiW ; Louis Kossuth
had not then bjcomo a mttorlc character ;
Loala Philllppo Lad just abandoned the
throne of tbo "bariicadps" nnd eeoapo3 ,
disguised In a worklugaum's bloujo ,
actoes the British chanuol on a fishing
smack , under the name of
Tohu Smith ; Louis Napoleon had
* ust been elected a tccmbsr of

ho head of Uio allalrs in Paris ; the third
omplro had not boon thought of save in
'hotohoin'ng br.un of Napoleon ; the

) rogon was not oven a territory , and was
ittlo known except in the linen of Bry
ant's immortal "Thauatopsis" :
"Where rolls the Oregon
And knows no sound
Save its own dashing. "
Iowa had only recently become
a state , and Wisconsin VM still
a territory. Nebraska , Kansas ,
Minnesota nnd Dakota were
then only parts of the httlo explored
great American desert. Sterling Morton
ind Dr. Miller had not then tisen to a
conception of the task of dispensing fed
eral patronage in Nebraska under a dem
ocratic admluietration , wiih a president ,
who , at that time , was probably pitching
marbles , o ; hunting shells , on the Jer-
jcyfltts ; Frank Walters had not then
evolved the idea of running a Nebraska
cgislatuturo and Frank Harlan was only
planning mighty events in the womb of
tlmo.
tlmo.I'OB
I'OB , wonderful changcii have lakcn
place. Thrones have di'appesrad and
republics , kingdoms , and empires have
boon cro.itod. Tha third omplro came
with the suddenness of a thief in the
night ; it dazzled the world for a time
with its brilliancy , nnd then disappeared
in the darkness of night , ai suddenly as
it cams ; its founder dying In exile ol
guilty conscience and i
broken heart ; nis empress ,
the empress of two spheres , the
omprcEH of the French , and tne empress
of fashion , is traveling along a lonely
way to the end , a ead reminder of wlut
once was. The phantom of an empire

Ma'mxi'llan ' and drew him south from
his quiet retreat at Thiesto , to be shot to
death by the soldiers of the republican

of Mexico. Tho'lFranco.Gorman war

and the recesses of Africa
hitherto hermetically sealed , are
being opened up to civilization and com-

THAT CONCENTKATION OF UT.VAN CHIMES ,

Hut what human Intelligence can fore-

Tha doctors are trying to make kissing
lopular by eayiog that disease is ofteu

well as far as children gons or win re kisses

o render it unpopular will bo fruitless , ;
i'or what can equal the pure delight-
Delight Indeed uay blisa of
The lover enjoyea on the stoop at night
When he rifles her lips of a kiss ?
Ti then that tha cup of tbo lover's joy
Is filled up to the brim ,
In the kiss ha leaves his heart with her ,

In the fall of 18l l , a party of five of
us loft Omaha for this purpose of enlist
ing in the army. Wo reached St. Joe
by water on the steamer "Omaha , " and
were sworn in but assigned tj no partic
uhr r uimout , Tlicnco wo went to St.
Louis by wry of the Hannibil & St. Joe
road to Hannibal wherj we took steamer
oitho Mlss'sslpl and soon found ourselves
solves quartered it Bontou Barracks , previously <
viously and since used as the St. Louis
iair grounds. Hero two of our number
joined a rogimout of Iowa cavulry , two of
us drifted into the Second Iowa infantry ,
and the fifth member of our party wo bat
sight of as a soldier.
Tlia regiment selected by myself and
couira'lo was the first three years' rcgi
mont mustered into tin service from the
state of Iowa , and i's ' first field officers
all became generals within n short time ,
namely : Colonel , Samuel II. Curtis ; lieu
tenant colonels , James M. Tultlo and
Major M. M. Crocker. It remained in
the army until the close of the war , ro-
enliiting at Pulaski , Toun , , In Decem
ber , 1803 , for another tonu of throa
years. It was composed entirely of
young men and was actively engaged
during the entire term of tor vie 3 ,
The buildings occupied as barracks at
St. Louis were ono-story frames , cheaply
constructed , surrounding throe sides of a
higo squire which was used for parade
ana drill purposes. The quarters were
comfortable enough , however , bat the
tedium of the drill and confinement of a
soldier's lifo when ilrat entered upon is
wearing bcyoud all comparison , except it
bo with that of the lifo of a penitentiary
convict. I remember that I , at this po-
tied of military career , used to walk up
and down on the parido ground wonder
ing "Can I endure three long years of
this ? " and the only comfort to be found
In the situation was the reflec'ion that
the WAI might not hat long , ia which
ciao a discharge would como sooner ,
was a green boy who had had but little
experience in being away from home ,
alow to makoacquainianco ; , and lonesome
to the last degree.
OUAUUINO PRISONERS.
December 23d , 1801 wo are ordered
down in'o the city to t ko charge cf a
body of 1,300 prisoners who had been re
cently captured In the interior of Mis-
Bonr'whllo on the way to join Sterling
Price. M'Dowell's ' Medical college , cor
ner of Gratlot and Eighth street , whose
owner had sought service in the robe'
army , had been seizad by the govern
ment and converted Into a prison , a row
of brick buildings on the east side ol
Eighth street , directly opposite the college -
lego , bjing fitted up as quarters for our
regiment. That nigh 11 stood guard dut y
for the first time in my lifo , and was sta
tioned in front of a window with Instruc
tions to shoot any one attempting to gel
out of that aperture ; fortunately my fears
that there will bo a sudden and uncon
controllable desire on the part of the en
tire outfit to endeavor to escapa by means
of that pirticnlar window aud on thai
particular occasion prove unfounded a lie
I am not required to bathe my hands in
the blood of my follows at any tlmo dur
ing the long night.
Our service hero was quite pleasant ,
though wo swore on guard .duty every
crher day. We escaped drill , however ,
our rations were abundant , and wo took
graat interest in our regular evening dress
parade which was held on Eighth street
just south of Gratlot. The regiment was
one of the beat drilled in the army , bad a
splendid brass band and superior martial
music , and these parades attracted crowds
of visitors , and much favorable comment
on the part of the St. Louis press. On Pier
one of these occasions a union lady who
lived directly in front of the petition oc
cupled by tha regiment when on parade ,
presented us with a beautiful wreath It M
was carried out to Col. Tuttle by the n
bright little daughter of the donor , as he
stood in front ot the cantor cf the line , er

The colonel directed her to carry it to the , o
color bearer ( bravo Harry Doolittlo-whoso
blood stained the snow at Fort Donelson bo

wounds made by rebel bullets ) , the silken
flag is lowered , the little girl places the
wreath upon the spear head of tbo ila ?

Following day brings Tfllh Jt marching
orders from Gen. Hallook , department
commander. February Oth we oacort to
steamer the prisoners whom we have
been guarding , and as the boat swings
off into the stream to carry them to
Alton , 111. , where they are to be con
fined in the old penitentiary building ,
they gave three rousing cheers for Jell" ,
Davis , and then throa cheers , quite as
hearty , for the Second Iowa. Tne next
day we march down tbo river nnd take
pasnage on the T. H. McGlll , under very
lisagreeable circumstances , When we
took charge of McDowell's college wo
Found stordd away in the attic a large
and valuable musaum. It was supposad
that thii museum was fully protected
rrom damage , but at few of our men broke
nto the room and Injured it to some ex
ont , jnst ag our marching orders wore
issued. This coming to the knowledge
Gen. Halleck ho disgraced the entire
replment by directing that we should
lurch through the streets on our way to
the steamer , without mosis and with our
colors furled. This wis an act of injus
tice which excited a feeling of resentment
the part of the regiment , intensified
yGen.Halleck' Hubsequont ill treatment

which resulted In our utter Inablli y to <
