It gives young Carter authority for its statement. SCHOOL GOVERNMENT. Article IV. is generally thought sufficient, at least in the school, that the child be "so man Ant able or submissive, while subject to the government, which is often very arbitrary and severe, as to remove all necessity for the exercise of any power than that of mere submission, if this can be called the exercise of an power at all. The labor and advantages of such control are removed from the subject that needs them, to the machinery that enforces them.

Hence it is not at all surprising that the former should languish for the want of them, while the latter should be impaired from use. It is a well-known law of mind as well as of body, that the legitimate use of any power strengthens it and neglect weakens it. Now, if the powers of self-government are not brought into active service in this stage of their growth, when assuming form and character, they are neglected and weakness is the result. This is he goal of too much government, or that form which takes all responsibility from the hands of the governed, and compels submission, nolens volens." That form of government which compels the greatest amount of responsibility on the subject and holds him accountable for the proper use of it, is best adapted Uniontown lies abont half a mile north of the Marmaton river, in Marion township, Bourbon county, Kas and fifteen miles west of Fort Scott on the Wichita railroad. No town in the state is so beautifull 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, ard plenty of hardwood, sawed to in required dimensions, can be had, and cheap too, as have a saw-mill quite convenient to town. Almost every qua-ter 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 nlentv o' M-ame AhnnlnM r.e fiK a its tributary creeks, and pure well aid spring water almost everywhere. We have four grocery and dry-goods stores, two drug stores, one exclusively hard implement and furniture store, one-harness shop, one shoemaker's shop, two blacksmiths' shops, a flouring mill, a saw-mill, a lumber yard, ai coat yard, an excellent hotel, a post-office, two dressmaking and millinery ware-rooms, a first-class a fine school-house and competent teachers, and a church in which various denominations hold their services. We take the liberty of advising resid- ents who have lots for sale to dispose of! 4rintvi rt 4 a 1 1 1 il 1 I iuWu1B puces, am. mu ne.p to encourage parties to settle here and increase the business of the town. Ever-j family that comes in adds so much more to the business of the grocery, the dry-1 goods house, and all other business.

To appeal to non-residents, who want two prices for their lots, would be only a waste of words. We want business men with capital toi come and locate here. We want factories of various kinds started here; and we have no doubt the' merchants of Uniontown will a'd any enterprise that may be of advantage to I the district. Land-buyers and home-seekers should come and see for themselves that this part of Kansas is the best farming district in the state; and in addition, that we possess advantages that younger districts cannot boast of. Come along, then, all who are seeking locations, and we promise you will not fail to be satisfied.

In order to induce those in other .1 on; Hit.

The name of the owner, unless desired, will not be published.

The Trades and Labor Council of Canada have forwarded a memorial to the minisicr or immigration at Ottawr, protesting against "assisted passage" and "pauper immigration'" Cardinal McCabe strongly denounces -secret societies, which, he says, "seem to possess a fatal ch firm for Irishmen, ending generally with the hangman's rope or the infamy of an informer." The crush to witness tho ceremonies of the opening of Congress on Monday was tremendous. There "was a greater crowd il 1 Hum nas uuen in auenuance on sueu occasions for several years, as Washington is fuller of winter visitors than usual. At the annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Peace a resolution was adopted proposing arbitration as a means of settling all social disputes, and that an international arbitration tribunal is the best substitute for war.

Twenty-four per cent of the coal received in San Francisco last vcar came from Washington Territory, 22 per cent from England and Scotland, 18 per.

Five "prisoners in the Delaware penitentiary. were soundly flogged a few days ago. Though modern ideas are opposed to such barbarous punishment, still no one can deny that such treatment is not too severe for the savages to bo met with almost every day.

Notwithstanding the high prices of! United States bonds and tho rumored intention of so mary national banks to go into liquidation, we notice that additional banks of that kind continue to ho organized right along. More were started last year than in any year since 1865. It is not unlikely that alT the internal taxes will be abolished this winter. Prohibitory laws and temperance unions will then be. useless, as every person addicted to the vice of intemperance can manufac- ture all be needs at a cost of 15 cents Chicago cannot be accused of dilatori-Tiess in its courts of law, if we are to believe the-statement in one of its papers last week to the effect that a lady wishing a divorce from her husband went into court at an hour named, and in thirty minutes thereafter left the place free to pledge her hand and heart to whomsoever she found disposed to accept them.

John Taylor, chief of the Mormon church, declares that all unfavorable reports concerning the prosperity of the Mormon church arc untrue; that there are no dissensions in the sect, and that the institution was never in a nore prosperous condition.

WaH-nuf Journal. WINTER FASHIONS, The revival of the low-nectc may be said to be on the rampage. It is dominant. It is universal in ultra-fashionable society, and is accompanied by the smallest and shortest of sleeves not straps but real sleeves, only short and -close to-the arm, not puffed or set into a band.

The best modistes have been busy or late with walking and visiting dresses for winter wear, and the majority are of fine cloth, very much trimmed with velvet, or A oi velvet liberally mounted with fur. Cloaks and mantles are worn shorter than last year, and arranged with fullness at the back, where they are held in by air interior belt over the tonrnure. The-' mantles have no sleeves, as the name implies, and' the cloaks, which partako of the dolman shape, show nothing at all new except a tendency toward 'simpler forms; as, for example, the has at read been revived, and will, undoubtedly, be one of the leading shape in velvet next year. The most fashionable fur at the present time is undoubtedly sealskin, and it has won its place after a very hard and severo fight by virtue of inherent merit. For many years it held a place in England which was not accorded to it here, and few believed then that it could ever rival or supersede the then popular mink.

Now ladies in Eastern cities will Lardlv" take mink for a gift, unless it is put in as lining, as it is now occasionally in silk circulars. There are reasons, however, for this revolutionary change, m)re creditable to judgments than mere caprice. In the first plaee mink never was a dressy fur; it was solid, substantial, and respectable, but not refined or suitable for dresa occasions. Muffs are small and always correspond to tho garment or fur trimming used to complete the rest of the costume. Seal, natural or dyed beaver, and black or gray fox, are the most used, and are more fashionably employed than those that arc made to match suits.

Fur-lined circular cloaks have met wit sudden revival this season, probably because they have been industriously worked up, for they ar costly and only suitable for wraps. The London Standard publishes a long letter from a correspondent, whose good faith it states be beyond question, and who professes to be a member of the American-Irish secret society. The writer regrets having joined the organization, and says that every one watches -the other; and be is paid as an officer, receiving $13 weekly, and that he must keep himself acquainted with the whereabouts of 228 men under him, to whom he is required to hand'sealed orders; that everything is done with the greatest of secrecy, by ballot, and that no one knows tho other's business, though several tnav havo similar tasks to perform. The writer believes that Ome of the employes of tbi i -vamurin. ure members to the wants of rational and responsible beings.

Self-government is both in object of government and a means of securing and continuing its blessings to its subjects. One of the best means of securing this i kind of control and cultivating the same, is health and profitable employment for all the powers of tho individual. It is quite certain that if the proper amount and kind of employment be furnished to all the members of the school or society, not only" crime and vice would lessen, but each individual would acquire the powers to direct his energies to full completion of the purposes of life. We pause to remark that none pf these powers were created in vain not for idleness, nor for mischief or for tormentors, but that their chief delight is the proper exercise of them, just as naturally as the plant seeks the light and moisture but if left unprovided for or uncontrolled, it is ver probable that they will seek mischief or run into excesses. The kind of labor and entertainment needed in this case must be invented or brought about by the wisdom and sagacity of the governor.

One thing we wish to suggest right here is, all temptations should be removed such as are likely to be too strong to be resisted, and adjusting others that must be met, so the conquest by the pupil shall prove a source of power. (Ty he continued.) I). N. BURTON. UNIONTOWN CIKCUIT, M.
