Prothero's band played some fine airs during the banquet, after which the party got on board and started for Springfield, where they were also well received. The journey from that city to Memphis was then commenced and all seemed well pleased with the politeness of the officials of the road as well -as with the generous treatment they had received in the cities named. UNIONTOWN, BOURBON. COUNTY.

Uniontown lies about half a mile north of tho Slarmaton river, in Marion townshipBourbon county, and fifteen miles west of Fort Scott on the Wichita railroad. No town in the state is so ber.utifully located, nor one around which there is such charming landscape or possessing a more fertile soil. No bottom lands can surpass those along the banks of the Marmaton; and in no part of this or any other state can be found richer prairie soil. Fuel is cheap and abundant, aril plenty of hardwood, sawed to order in required dimensions, can be had, and cheap too, as we have a saw-mill qnite convenient jto town. Almost every quai-tcr section has its orchard, and we are thus blessed with an abundance of fruit.

Taking the improvements and railroad facilities into account, farms can be purchased here, we think, at -lower figures than in any other part of the Union. In addition, there is plenty game, an fngents for the Kaw Llffi AssoctATlOM Kansas City, Kas. The above named, gentlemen are well1 known in Bourbon County, and persons doing business with them will'Le honorably-treated. JT. BRUCE, Dist.

L. hum Smith. It is truly an interesting publication, and should be in the hands of all agents, as it exposes. the myriad "sharpers" who live by fraud. It vould also, thii be a valuable family paper, as the matter in it is both entertaining and irstructive.

Its price is only 50c a year. One week from to-night Mr. John TL Crider, of Fort Scott, will deliver a lecture in the Uniontown Church. The sub ject will bo "The Coming Aris' ocracy." Every true American in the district 'all wfio feel an interest in the future of this great Republic should hear Mr. Crider.

Let patriotism usurp the place of party for one night let tho rivalry of politicians be forgotten for a few hours at all events, and we have no doubt every one who hears the lecture will be convinced that not only are there breakers ahead," but" that it will require the combined energy ami feresight of all on board tho great ship Republic to savo her from destruction. The lecture will be free to all all are invited. Recollect the time, Friday night, Nov. SO. WALNUT ITEMS.

Talking about the jaw of exclaimed an experienced man who is living with his third scolding wife, I tell you they are nothing to the jaws of life." A person who had obtained a free railway pass asked the agent "if he could not embrace his wife?" "Probably," tho official answered, but prefer to see her before promising positively." One of the most absurd, nay, one of the most threatening and terrible spectacles which our imperfect civilization affords, is an ignorant, common, vulgar man, with millions' of dollars at his command millions which spoil him, corrupt his relations, and blast his children. A gentleman had his boots blacked" by one of two boys, an gave the shiner "a two-dollar bill to get changed. After waiting some time he said to the other boy; Where's your partner?" "Oh," said the youth, with a grin, "he's butt and I'm his assignee." My case is just thii," said a citizen to. a lawj-er: "The plaintiff will swear that I hit him. I will swear that I did not.

What can you lawyers make out of that if we go to trial?" A good fee, and second or a third if we can only encourage the defeated one to appeal." There is a beggar in New York who stammers so much that it takes hiinomo minutes to ask for a c-c-e-eent. As sometimes it takes him an hour to get a is it not unwise to waste so much time for such trifle, when be could ask for a d-d-d-d-dollar just as quickly. An old man would not believe he could hear his wife talk twenty miles by telephone. His better half was living in town that distance from him, where then was a telephone, and the old man was in a place where there was a similar instrument. On being told how to operate it, he walked boldly and shouted Hello, -Sarah!" At that instant light ening struck the telephone wire, and knocked the old man down, and as he scrambled to his feet he excitedly cried: That's Sarah every time Young men should remember that neat clothes don't make the they are desirable adjuncts.

That if they once get in debt they may never get out of it. That parting the hair in the middle is evidence of softening of the brain, i That to deal honestly with all they begin with their washer-woman. That they need something more substantial than cigars, kid gloves, and a cane to start housekeeping with. That they shouldn't reckon on their father's fortune to help them through life, for-fortunes are slippery things. That a girl who decks herself in the finest clothes and exhibits herself in the street while her mother does the washing, isn't worth wasting much love on.

That a fellow who deliberately proposes inatri- mony to a girl, when he can't support himself, is either a firs t-clas fraud or a fool unless he marries for money and becomes Iter hired man.

Cardinal Simconi, prefect of the Prop aganda, Rome, gave a banquet last week in honor of the American bishops. Card. Jacobini, pontifical secretary of stale, also gave the bishops a banquet.

It is understood that the trial of O'Don-nell, the alleged murderer of Carey, is to commence to-day. Pry or, the American lawyer, after agood deal of trouble, got permission to interview the prisoner in Newgate. The interview lasted two and a half hours. Mr.

Biggar, M. in a speech at Lancashire, denounced Earl Spencer, Lord Lieutenant of he said, had innocent people hanged on false evidence. He declared that the Orangemen were smail in numbers and composed of '-knaves and dupes." When Northcote vit-ited Ireland a procession was only orgauied, aller the uacu cosut in I Dr. Prucha, the Archbishop of Prague, Austria, committed suicide on the 27th of October. lie had cutTered from a hallucination that he was being persecuted ever since he resigned his bishopric, and regarded himself as a criminal fesigning, be thought he had opposed Divine providence.

In Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Tues- day, Jame Golden, of Philadelphia and Patrick Scullian, of Trenton, X. engaged in a brutal prize-fight: Sixty-five rounds were fonght, and both men were badly punished." Because of a foul," S'-ulIian was declared the winner. The tight continued for nearly two hours and was witnessed by about 300 persons. Last week Dr. Stock er was to Lave spoken at Memorial.

Ilall, London, on "Christian Socialism." A large number of socialists took possession' of the hall, hooted the doctor (who had to retire), unfurled red flags, sang the Marseillaise, and cheered for the next revolution." That such a thing could occur in Lendon portends something serious. The Will of the People, a paper, states that the sentence of death passed by. the Nihilist central committee on an informer will be carried out. It says their party has lost many very valuable members recently, but the gaps are being rapidly filled. More blood will flow, and the responsibility will fall upon the senseless government.

Tuesday Patrick William O'Brien, the Irish giant, and Christiana D. Danz, a German giantess, were married in Pittsburg. The ceremony was witnessed by mayor and council of the city and an immense concourse of people. The wedding cake measured nine feet in circumference and three feet in thickness. The combined height of the bridal party is 15 feet 3 inches, and their joint weight is 54D pounds.

The weight of the wed ding ring is 17 pennyweights, and is five inches in circumference. In the past ear the people of this big country consumed 75,000,000 gallons of whisky, upon each gallon of which there is a tax of 90c. In England the tax is $2.40. If the prohibitionists would force Congress to make 1 he tax in the United States equal to that in Great Britain they would do far more to promote temper ance than can ever be accomplished by state prohibitory laws. The onlj objec tion to the increase would be, the encouragement of illicit distillation.

Of course the import duty on ioreign spirits should be increased proportionally. T. Healy, Home-rule MP. for Mon-aghan, seeking admission to the Irish bar, has been blackballed by the law-students' debating society of Five-sixths of the Irish people being of Healy's way of thinking, politically, will they fail to remember such insolence or to boycot" such whelps, professionally, when they shall have completed their apprenticeships. They belong to that class that will allow a man to exercise his private judgment so long as he thinks as they do hut when he fails to do that, then they persecute like demons.

The recent reduction in price made by the New York daily papers been followed by a similar reduction in Detroit. It is probable the mania will soon attack Chicago, St. Jjo uls, and Kansas Citj-. The several leading New York dailies now give their readers fi fly-six pages weekly for fourteen cents. It is probable the country weeklies now charging two dollars will have to tumble down to one dollar, should the large cities continue to publish at the present low rate.

And the proprietors and editors of the hebdome- dais must content themselves with two meals ai day, and those composed chiefly of "johnny cake and sorghum. At Memphis there has been a good deal said lately about the importation of fresh meat from the North. Surely, with the aid of refrigerators, all the towns and cities from Memphis to New Orleans can be as readily supplied as New York from Chicago, or Liverpool from New York. In this case Kan-as City is named as the base of supplies. Here is a chance for Fprt Scott: will she avail herself of it? The freight ilone of live stock from Fort Scott and the return freight of the dressed meat to that city A onld be a great saving, the distance being 98 miles from one eity to the other, or I'M both ways.

Unless the shipments woald be made by water from Kansas City (a route that would be about four days longer than by rail), the Fort Scott people can readily see what a great saving they could have in freight, to say nothing of the lower price of stock. Tuesday, at 1.30, p. a special train, consisting of six Palace Pullman cars and the company olficial car, left Kansas City for Memphis, via the Kansas City, Springfield Memphis railroad. Only a few weeks ago the-road was opened for business, and the excursion has been in contemplation sinse the last rail was laid. At 5.30 the train arrived Fort Scott, where the party -was met by the mayor, members of.

If Uniontown had a few more enterprising spirits like those Fort Scott gentlemen named above, the town Would not be almost at a stand-still during the past ten or twelve years. It is strange, with all the natural advantages the place is blessed with, that there is not a population ol at least three or tour thousanu to boast ol iu tne capital The question as to the political lean ings of the Speaker of the new House of Representatives may be judged of from the fact that the southern members will not only constitute two-thirds of the Democratic majority but also two-thirds of the House itself. Now the House is composed of 325 inembers, who, as nearly as can be ascertained, may be classed thus: 7 Thorough IVrrxMThtiS Jndfmnt'-rt 1 fin 8 Hf-gulsir H-punli-m, Independent KepubUcnns, 2 Hwidj utere from Virginia, 6 Green backers, 2 It is probable the Readjusters will vote with-'the Republicans and the Greenback ers with the Democrats. it should so happen, the numbers will stand thus: 127 lK'mocnita, 198 a full Democratic caucus, therefore, In 100 votes will be required to nominate a Speaker. A secret organization called the Na- tional Lcague for the Suppression of Polygamy met at Cleveland last week and issued an "Address to the Public," from which we take a few passages It says "The time has come when action is necessary.

The honor and fair name of the nation are in danger. Licentiousness and a total disregard of the law of the land are bringing us into disgrace among all people of the earth. Europe, as in the days of slavery, is calling upon us, in the name of decency, to cleanse ourselves of a species of moral corruption, which in foulness has not been surpassed during the present century. Ever since Joe Smith, than whom no greater fraud ever lived, established the foul Mormon church, the fundamental doctrines of which are polygamy and profligacy, there has rested upon the nation a stain which has been a disgrace to us and the civilized world. The world cries out against such progress, and in the name of hu nan-ity, home, and common decency, demands a halt in the rapid strides of lechery and law-breaking As yet Congress has taken but little interest in the matter, for some reason best known to members thereof; it therefore remains for the people at large to throttle the evil in the best manner possible and rid the country of the curse which their representatives in Congress have failed to recognize.

An immense lobby of Mormon elders has signified its intention to be at Washington this winter for the purpose of defeat ing bills introduced for the regulation of polygamy. A great deal of money will be. spent, and if there is not a popular uprising against the obnoxious teachings and practices of Mormons, Congress will again, no doubt, refuse to recognize the evil, and nothing will be done to eradicate it." SCHOOL GOVERNMENT. Article II. School government, in form and administration, should be like, as much as any other, that particular kind of monarchy called the patriarchy though it should possess many of the restraints to the abuse of power that' are common to the best republics.

And we add here that no teacher is prepared to wield this powerful instrument, unless he has made himself well acquainted with 'its nature and It is a matter of surprise, as well as regret, that so few have anything like a proper understanding of the real objects of government, or what means to use tc secure them. The motives to obedience have been so perverted, the incentives to duty so essen tially crippled, and measure of abuse of power has been so great, that many false theories have arisen, that the existence of sound family and school control has been jeopardized. The mere matter of mastery on the one hand, with-out consulting the fitness of the means ol securing it, or to use it when secured. would be about as true a picture of the two extremes as could shown, while the steps between have been filled -with many errors and many Some of these will be pointed out as we progress. The real object of government, as it relates to the school in particular, may bo considered under three heads, viz.

Conservative, Self-perpetuating, and SELF-GOVEaXINtL, as to their maintaining universally the same policy, ainl enforcing the same rights and obligations self-perpetuating, in that these rights or claims, are produced and reproduced by the actual development of man's nat ural and innate powers, and are coequal! with his present relations, i.e., the force i that controls arises not only from man's necessary being, but is self-sustaining, since it is governed through the agency of continual causes, acting and reacting, prod nci ng and reprod nci ng both them-selves and their actual necessities. This will be more evident as tbe nature of these objects are unfolded. One of the first of these conservative objects and one of great importance in securing the ends of government, is the general happiness of the governed and good order; and without' this all secondary objects would lull of the desired end.

We want factories of various kinds started here; and we have no doubt the merchants of Uniontown will a any enterprise that ma' be of advantage to the district.
