G. E. TIME TABLE We learu that. Die Millis ant Kate McCluug were married on Thursday w- Mr, Turner is in town again. Be will return to Kansas City iu a day or two, but will come bacx soou to remain here.

Mr. J. B. White, father of Charles White, of Pieasanton, left four weeks ago to reside awhile in Illinois, but he returned last Tuesday, satisfied to remain here. He says Southern Illinois is worse than Kansas, and we are sure it is as bad, and that they have all our nuisances, for we saw h'uu pick a chinch bug out ol his beard a few minutes after getting off the train.

He says that, after passing 100 miles southward Irom Chicago, tbe traveler begins to encounter wilted corn fields, and from that onward everything gets worse, until there, is scarcely a green thing to be seem It is rather strange, but everybody who leaves Kansas for a better place, is as anxious to return as he was to get away. We have hot winds, dry skies aud chinch bugs, but it is better to "endure the ills we have, tliau flv to others that we know not of." Trading' Post I -The rain came' too' late to- do corn much good, but if makes- the grpsfld all right for fall plowing. Corn along the river is almost a u41 crop and of excellent quality, but the high land corn is very light and poor. The crops are so much worse in Illinois and Missouri than in Kansas, that land buyers are more numerous than ever. -Jas.

Dr. Fiak has retnrned from Kansas City." George Hall, a son of Joseph Hall, formerly of this place, is visiting friends here. As an evidence that the Post is improving, it is stated that a year ago there was not a church member in town, acd now there are three, or four. Personal Jottings. Harry Worland left ou Thursday for a trip to Santa Fe, I.

M. Jesse James was in town this week. He Is vis-' iting his uncle, E. James, who lives south of town. Dr.

L. Matthews and family returned home to-day, and any one wishing work done, will hereafter find him in his office ready for business. Our friend Zeb came down last Friday, and helped us get the paper out. Messrs. Page Blaker started for Chicago on Thursday, to select their stock of groceries lor the new store.

L. H. Lane, of Prescott, was in town on Wednesday. He is looking well and hearty in spite of his recent illness. Mr.

J. C. Anderson has our thanks for some of the finest Catawba and Concord grapes we have seen this season. Mr. John McAnley, has been quite ill, and has not yet fully recovered.

This dry. hot weather takes the nerve out of everybody. Mr. W. A.

Austin, of Atchison, a nephew of Rev. J. E. Whitman, gave ns a pleasant call 011 Saturday last. He was ou his way east to visit his old home in Indiana.

Mr. J. G. Gardner, started this week for his former home in Indiana. lie is not tired ot Kansas, but his father is ill, and has sent for him.

He will return next spring il not before. r. Will Estep, last Tuesday received a telesram telling him that his who lives at Burlingame, 0.age county, was seriously ill. and asking that he or his father to him at once. Mr.

W. A. Mitchell, one of the Journal force, gave the Observkr a pleasant call on Wednesday. Mr. Mitchell seldom takes recreation, and we were glad to see him away from his work for a few hours.

Snake-bite extraordinary Henry Ganz came excitedly into town on horse- Our A'ormal. Last Friday afternoon's exercises at the Normal were unusually interesting. The teachers assembled for a general discussion "Love Feast," said Prof. Botkin and their remarks entertaining and interesting. Mr.

McCullocli was the first upon the floor, and spoke concern-gin opening exercises in the school room. He thought i this was the time to give the pupils a musical training, but that It should be varied by lessons in literature. The name of some author or poet should be placed upon the board, and pupils be taught facts regarding his nativity, subsequent life, etc Mr. Smith followed with interesting remarks ou teaching grammer and history by copy. His idea was that it impressed the lesson more forcible on the mind of the pupil, and did away with the odious monotony of-questioniug from text books.

It necessitated a thorough knowledge of the subject, in the teacher, and made him more capable of imparting this knowledge to the learner. Mr. Botkin then gave a lesson in rapid multiplication so rapid that most ol his hearers found it difficult to keep pace with him, and Mr. Wasson followed with a lesson in tlie same line. After disposing of his lesson iii multiplication, Mr.

Wasson showed the class how to calculate measurements 011 unknown distances, where the surface to be measured is horizontal. instance, a house stands at some distance from a given point, and we wish to ascertain the exact distance without an actual measurement of the whole distance. The problem was explained in such a manner as to be easily comprehended by ail present. Prof. Botkin took his place at the board again to tell the class how to ascertain the height of a tree 011 tbe same principle, and left his drawiugon the board.

Superintendent Jones next camefoi ward, and as he halted opposite the drawing aud paused as if about to make a remark upon it, Prof. Botkin suggested that Jones needn't stop to meaaure a tree. He could take in half the distance by standing erect, aud reach the rest of the way." Jones received the joke' 111 good humor, aud proceeded to lei I the teachers a bet ter way of teaching decimals thau the one commonly In use. He made his point very clear, aud we must say that his is the bet method of teaching these bothersome numbers we have ever seen. The advantage he urged, was that his method did nut tax the child's memory like other methods.

Alter lie tooK his seat the irrepressible conouctor again came to the tro'nt, and said tie thought it a good thing to save a pupil's memory in school, for they were wire to need it when they got home to lemeuibur where mother put the preserve pots and the big, apples. Their memories never failed them there. They could Keep one eye on mother, to be sure she was not looking in thfir direction, aud reaching bacK into the bin, could go it blind, and lilt out the nicest apple every time, just trom memory. Sometimes, to be sure, tlie marauder of the apple bin might maice a tuistaKe and picK up a bumble bee by ike. stctn, but he was sure to secure what lie was after eventually.

The worthy professor knows too much about the pranks of boys; we shrewdly suspect that he was not the Kind of a boy tliy maKu angels ot. He acted the suffering so perfectly that we even believe he had piciced up a bumble bee by the stem under line circumstances himsell, and was giving the class an incident from memory. His talK on school government before the class on Thursday afternoon of this week, was made up of good ideas. He said that humanity was governed by appealing to the mental, moral or physical qualities. He believed 111 making punishment a last resort, as the "fear of punishment, while it might restrain outward action, never made a person a whit better.

He gave some incidents In his own school life, and in his experience as a teacher to illustrate this, aud urged an appeal to the mental and moral faculties of a child as long as any good result could be Sfen. But he does not belong to that soft-hearted or soft-headed class who would govern the whole juvenile world by persuasion, and he thinKS that when corporeal puulshment- is necessary, it should be administered. Prof. Botxin is tbe best teacher we ever saw before an Institute, and we attendee a great many iu former years. Uis explanations are so lucid that they cannot tail in being understood, and at the same time so rapid that the teachers must use their brains if they follow him.

He is enthusiastic on the subject of education, and has the faculty of imparting his enthusiasm to his class. He is in every wav fitted for the position he occupies, and The institute could not have a better conductor KING A ID CO.

Farmers, why don't you hitch up your team, put in a camping outfit, take-the wife and children and go to Bismarck, or Topeka, or Kanaas and spend from three to six days attending the fair at one of these places. It surely will well repay you, for when you get home again you will feel a great deal better, and the sights you will see will furnish themes for conversation for three months at least, and it also will be of great benefit to the children.

No new comer should invest in sheep without first consulting them. A sad accident occurred between Osa-watomie and "Eantoul, on the Ilolden branch of the Missouri Pacific, last Saturday night. A party of.

young" people started on a hand car to attend a dance a few miles out, on the road. While running at the utmost speed at which they were able to propel the ear, they collided with auother baud car going toward Osa-watoin ie. All on both cars were more or less injured, one young lady, named Wood, so that she died. She, with her sister and escort, were sitting on the front of tu car, with feet hanging over. The night was dark, and the approaching car could aot be seen until about tit teen feet away, when it was too late to save themselves.

The lady most injured was sitting in the center, and took" the full force of tlie blow. Her limbs were horribly crushed. She was takeu home, and died at 4 a. m. TJie other is crippled for life, her knee caps being torn up so that a swab could be run uuder them.

The gentleman had one of his limbs badly injured, but will recover. The blame for the accident lies wholly with the party of young men on the otlter car.

It is a sofa cushion top, composed ot a gteat number ot odd shapen pieces of the finest silk and satin, on many of which is worked with silk in the highest perfection, butterflies, bugs, flowers, the comet, moon aud stars, a sweet little toad catching a dear little spider, etc. Every lady and many an appreciative gentleman will be well paid for a visit to the floral hall to see this enchanting piece ol art. A little Italian girl, of about eight falls of age, appeared 011 our streets the other day, and made melodious harmony on ared fiddle. he would go to the stores and a tew tunes, then pass around her hat for nickles. Don't think she ever got a hat full, though.

She always started out on glorious "Yankee Doodle." which she dextrousiy played iu the key of a confined pig. Next came the "Mocking Bird," and the chirping trills came out so 'naturally one would almost believe that the very owh was actually present. Her Irously ringlets flowed copiously in the breeze, and the sweet incense of her dirty face aud hands reached half way from earth to the third story window. When this humble waif, with a soul full of music, has, through her allotted time, borne the jeers and taunts of rude town boys, may she exchange her vlofiir for a "harp of a thousand strings," ami play along the golden streets of the New Jerusalem." We rather like (he ring of -JoV; "Mound City Gleamings." even II he did press down pretty hard on the La Cygne Fairs permitting wheel of fortunes and gambling institutions. Shoot again, friend "Jo." We would rather be well censured than poorly flattered.

We had the inexpressible pleasnre of ViMting the Normal school tor a snort time, a short time ago. Some persons who read these pages may have had the pleasure of seeing me there. Perhaps you noticed a gentleman enter with keen, expressive, liquid grey eyes, commanding figure, broad, intellectual forehead, features regular, and strikingly handsome that was Prof. Hartshorn; the other fellow was me. I noticed a larire number of strange, sweet faces that have entered the honored list since I stepped down and out; yet they all seem near and dear to me.

I feel like a step-mother to all of them. From what I could observe aud learn, the present Normal is one of the largest and best ever held in the county. The pupils apply themselves with earnest alacrity, and the teachers kindly inter sperse amusement with solid instruction. Newspapers should speak a good word for teachers, for they clear away Hie fog of fogyism and bring an intuitive thirst for general knowledge aud late news. KB.

The editor of '1 lie Review recently paid a visit to the gas spring, near New Home, aud speut several pleasant hours at the residence of the Cope Brothers. Their parents are both living, and still full of life and vigor, though the mother is in- her 73d year, and' the father can count three-quarters of a century tf the years that are past and gone.

West Virginia, has located in Pieasanton, and engaged in the practice I law with Judge Blue. -lie lately graduated from tlie law department of the University of Virginia, and like many other energetic young" man, has lollowed Greeley's advice and come West to grow up with the country, lie is well pleased with Kansas and her progress, aud says he has come" 0 stay.

He seems to be energetic, industrious ati-1 determined to win in his chosen profession. Kansas gladly receives such men. There is room for more of the same kind. We extend to him our sympathy, aud tru.t he will be entirely successful iu his adopted State. Mrs.

Moliie GilMhan is having a serious illness, and it may be a long time before she lully recovers. She lay insensible for hours last Monday, and several times the report wentour that she wasdy-ing. It was also reported that her attending physician. Dr. Plumb, had given her up, but that was a mistake, lor although he expressed doubts as her.

recovery, he never at any time abandoned hope, or gave any oue reason to suppose he had. Her disease is iutcnnUtent lever, and a bad ease; aud Mrs. Gillihan is such a favorite here that anxious friends have excited her ratn.c-r too much by frequent calls; but she will ultimately recover unless she has another relapse. Mr. Shannon Naylor.formerly of Pieasanton, and a brother of Mrs.

Lou Gillihan, came down from Osawatomie on Tuesday, and returned on the morning traiu Thursday. He has been employed in the Insane Asylum oyer three years as painter and musician. He gives lessons on stringed instruments, arid has a wide reputation as a competent teacher. He brings a good report from the Asylum. He thinks it is managed admirably in every respect.

They have now nine fe male wards, the wing lately erected enlarging the accommodations considerably, but numberless patients are refused ad mittance yet. The need for a private asylum is great, and we hope the scheme uow 011 foot for such au institution will prove a success. Mr. James Lewis, of Potosi," says it has been lather a discouraging year with him for raising corn. Fifty acres of his corn will not produce more than ten bushels to the acre, and a piece of wheat, which he plowed under in the spring and planted twice, will produce none at all.

The chinch bug3 have caused yastly more injury than the dry weather. Tbe millet sowvn by him, aud also by his neighbors. A.P.Grimes and A. Wortman. was all ea.ten up by these pests.

Mr. Lewis i3 now cutting up his corn, which he says is no easy job, as the stalks are so tough that it takes a hard blow to sever them, and from every one lie bandies the chinch bugs rattle down" in such numbers that a mail's body is alive with them. It is not a very cheering prospect for a man who cultivated 107 acres of land this year. Mr. W.

G. Sallee lias been over in Mulberry. and reports it very sickly there. Tbe eldest daughter of Mr. Jas.

Maguire was yery low. aud her recovery was considered doubtful. Mr. Sallee is now engaged in putting up a house for Mr. Truman Wolf dimensions, 16x24.

He will have to make rapid time on it, as he expects to leave Kansas, for good, in a week. His sister, who resides iu Nebraska, is going to remove north into Sioux county, and It delaying to await bis coming. Tbe hot summer has made Mr. Sallee sick ot Kansas, but when a Nebraska winter descends upon him, with snow banks twenty feet high, and mercury twenty degrees below any point, and he tries to warm his frozen fingers over a fire of com stalks, he will be glad to come back.
