By the act of admission and by the Constitution of the State ample provision for free public school education was made for all the children of the State. The organic act, approved May 30th, 1854, provided that when the territory of Kansas should be surveyed preparatory to bringing thelandsinto market, section? sixteen and thirty-six should be reserved for school purposes.

Section 1. Constitution of the State of Kansas makes the same reservation of sections, sixteen and thirty-six, and Article V.I, makes lull provisions for the organization and support of the public schools of the State. As the result of these wise measures for the free education of aU children of the State, ithout regard to color sex or previous condition, Bourbon county has ninety school districts, each district being supplied with a commodious, well constructed, handsome school house, well supplied with patent desks, wall-maps, globes and all the appurtenances belonging to a well appointed school. Each district in the county supports a school from six to nine months each year, taught by a well-qualified teacher. The several districts of the majority.

Kelley's silver bill which passed the House last winter, and ought to be passed by the Senate as soon as that body gets in working order again, are feebly denying the charge that the bill of 1873 demonetising the silver dollar was hastily, if not surreptitiously passed. They claim that the bill had been before Congress for a couple of years or so, had been frequently printed and had had unusual consideration, was again tendent of Public Instruction The Committee on Resolutions reported the following: Firnt. That the United States of county, are of suchsize that no one is oppressed by a burden some tax to support the school amended, but never by pro- sufficiently long each year to It A I 1 1 America is a nation, not. a league; that by the combined workings the national and State Governments the rights of every citizen should be everywhere secured.

A practical physician J. W. Davenport of Dallas, Texas has obtained a patent which promises to he of great usefulness. It is simply a fluid for keeping all kinds of fruits, vegetables and meats fresh and sweet. The aim of the chemist hasbeen to discover the ingredients of a pickle which would arrest the process ol decomposition and extingnsh the germ of decay of decay of animal and vegetable substances without impairing their flavor or imparting to them any injurious effect.

It is simply a pickle of the most in-explicable sort, costing less than brine or vinegar, in which any meat or vegetable may be kept in open vessels, submerged for months, and when taken out will be found as fresh as when the vegetables came from the garden or discussion, under a suspension of the rules two days later.

The silver dollar having Mr. Hooper, of the committee t'lat the same time sustain the schools in their several districts, thereby affording the more advanced pupils a thorough high school training without the expense and danger of their sons and daughters away from home to school. Our school districts outside reported the bill, in his report favor ingit, said that "Mr.

Ernest Seyd.of a distinguished writer on coins, had vxamined the. first draught of the bill and furnished many valuable suggestions, which have been incorporated into the bill." This referred to the original bill, and it has been charged that the substitute, which was passed without reading, was drafted by the same Londoner, Seyd. Who was "Ernest Seyd?" The Banker's Magazine of August, 1873, been the legal unit from the foundation of the Federal Government until 1873, the law under which its coinage was suspended should be repealed at the earliest possible day, and silver made, with gold, a legal tender for the payment of all debts both public and private. We also belive that the present volume of currency should be maintained until the wants of trade and commerce demand its further contraction. At the conclusion of the reading, a resolution endorsing the President and his policy was offered by Mr.

Resly as an amendment to the first resolution This created an undescribable uproar, and was received with a tumult, in which were mingled vociferous protests and hisses. the city of Fort Scott owe less than $6,000 for their ninety beautiful and convenient school buildings.

This pickle may be furnished and prepared at a cost of 4 cents per barrel. The pickle is so near tasteless and palatable as to demonstrate its inoculousness, and yet from the specimen we saw yesterday, green corn which had been immersed in it for twelve months, when boiled, says: "in 172, silver being demonetized in France, Germany, England and Holland, a capital of 100,001) 000,) was raised and, Ernest Seyd of ijoudon was sent to this country with a few years and find that the Board of Directors for 1863 were D.

An amendment endorsing the policy and saying it would secure the results asked for in the third resolution of the report of the committee, was then offered to that resolution, this fund, as the agent of the for-, eign bondholders and capitalists to effect the same object in which he was successful. The record is therefore of a very singular character, and it would be well for Congress to appoint an in could not be distinguished from the corn which had been gathered that morning.
