FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 18, 185 NE BIB BJttlttN. Soma time since Commissioner of Pensions, lilck,sked Miss Ads Sweet, pension agenv st Chicago, to resign Miss Ads thought she wss entirely too "sweet' to be stked to resign by oruel, oruel man, so she flatly refused, but when the investigations set on foot by Commissioner Blsek disolosed the fact that there were between 000 and 600 namss on the pension list at that agenoy that wore fraudulently kept on after the pensioners bad died, Miss Sweet soured on the whole flair and gladly sent in her resignation. Com missioner Black evidently had his eyes open when he ssked her to resign. The commissioner hss appointed Mrs. Msrion Mulligan, widow of Col. Mul ligan, who was killed at Lexington, Me., during the wsr. Our readers things said by Republican papers when Miss Sweet flatly refused to resign. We suppose thst whstever they msy ssy, (they will ssy but little though,) about her resignation, will be words of the sour kind. VI ILL I IIL The effort which monometslists are getting ready to make when Congre meet, to repeal the law authorizing the ooinsge of silver, and to repeal the law making silver a legal tender, will, we have no doubt. Drove a failure. It , IS a rnat:er worthy of note that evei since, the passage of the act lemonetii iog silver and the act anthorizing its linage, the administration at Wash iogton has been hostile to th"s mess urea. The present administration see oik to be following in the footsteps of its predecessors, with the exception thst Mr. Manning seems to be making some efforts to circulate stiver while former sdministrations threw obstacles in the wav of its circulation. If these lass should be repealed, the greenback party would very soon become strong enough to carry the country, if no other means were provided to supply currency to re place the silver thus demonetised.

In nearly all of the cotton growing states the advices indicate an unusually large crop and it is thought the total yield will be much larger than was previously announced. While this goes on of course there can't be any very widespread peace, but at least the South can rest assnred that by far the largest portion of Northers people will obeer it on in its most serious intentions to outdo all previous efforts. The New York Times, (Iod. Rep.) says that ths independents will not fol low tfce lead of Hoar and Sherman: Nomioatiens, which represent nothing better nor worse thsn Hoar's ideas of Republicanism, coupled with the plat form utterances such as a Republican convention inspired and managed by that pre-Adamite gentlemen will be very apt to adopt, would drive thous ands of Massachusetts independents to thesuppoit of any respectable Demo cratic ticket. The Russian Government hss issued a decree making the Greek church the established religion of the Baltic prov inces. Protestanism will only be tol erated. Children born of mixed mar lisgea are to be trained in the Greek chutch. The decree is certain to excite gieat discontent amoug the German Settle! s. J R. Grant sailed for Europe a week since He will visit his sister Mrt.

I 1 I.1 11 JH John Sherman, of Ohio, has made a ap -ech far mare fiety and full of the spirit of sectional hate than the one male st Mt. Gtload. H? waves the flag of sectional animosity high aloft over the head of Foraker. The most fiery portions were published in the Oregonian. A terrific cyclone visited Washing ton, Ohio, last week destroying 200 bouses and killing about a dozen persons and destroying property amounting to oyer $1,000,000. The prohibitionists have put state and county tickets in the field in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachn aet'.s and other states. They claim th-y wil poll a large vote. J. M. Perry (Peeryl) has been ap pointed postmaster at Dayton, Gregon, John Edwards at North Yamhill and Miss Maggie Fearoside at Tillamook. Rev. Moses. A Hopkins, (colored,) has been appointed minister to Liberia, by Secretary Bayard. This is another outrage against tbe c dored people, com mitted by democrats that calls aloud for redress. Where will the rebellion end? WHAT SHALL TKAC'BKIa TKA'HT This is the e.ioU when most of the public schools open up the fall tonus, ud we regard it as a favorable and op portune time to call attention to one subject connected with the teaoher s work which demands consideration. The question is, shall these schools be run along in the old grooyw of mere mental discipline, sad mental develop ment to the entire exclusion t moral discipliae and the development of the mors I faculties of ths young t Hereto fore most teachers seemed to conceive it to be their duty only to trudge along in the old beaten paths of former sges wherein they simply teach what is taught in the text-book uiterh ignoring the moral training which forms so im portant and vital an element in the make-up of a model citizen. A rigid adherence to the text-book, to them, baa seemed the some of their profession, and so far as the subjects taught in them is concerned, this may not be con troverted. But there are lessons of love of truth, honesty, sobriety snd pa triotism, which do do not find thoir text in the text books, but which grow out of the circumstances of the daily rou tine work of the teacher. Here is the occasion where the teacher must teaoh without a text-book. These duties, we are sorry to say, are too often neglected by the teacher. These teachers seem to think thst more mental training will make boys and girls what they ought to be, while, in truth, it otten makes them just what they ought not to be qualifies them to successfully csrry out the purposes of an evil heart. Take a ooy who is vicious in his every day walk, whe has no regard for truth, who ems to have none of the germs of honesty implanted in his nsture, who carea nothing for obedience to law, and give him that exhaustive mental train ing and discipline which many boys re ceive in school, and be is only the bet ter piepared to successfully disregard the truth to the great detriment and injury cf some of his follows. He is simply better qualified to follow up his vicious practices and escpe their pen alties, than he was before he was made the recipient of this mental training, tie is aimply made more able to disobey all liwsaud tecaps the pcna!ties of such diaobedienc. Hence, it will lie nt n that such a boy hss received no 'leoefh from his mental training, so that tb.- second ea'ate of that boy is worse than the firt. A boy may thus oecome great in overtowering intellect but be destitute ef true greatness be cause he is destitute of thoao qualities of truth, honesty, virtue and patriotism hich constitute true greatness. Ia order that the education ot the youth should be complete, the foundation for a strong, firm, moral character should be laid as soon as the child enters school. Let us look about us and see if we can aot detect results of our de fective system of education on all sides. See how prevalent crime is. Go to nearly any town or village in the North west aid you will find a half dozen or more of characterless individuals who are under the ban of having committed some crime against the law of the lend. They are constantly under the surveil lance of police officers. They are a standing menace to the peace and quiet of the neighborhood in which they live. These are they whose education was sadly neglected in their younger days. What ever training they received was mere meatsl development. They were not admonished day by day, that truth, sobriety, honesty snd virtue are tbo peculiar and essential characteristics of a good man and a good citizen. Hence, their lives are wasted. The time and expense devoted to their education are more than wasted. Crime and vice prevail all over the land. Many peo ple think they abound more than in the earlier days of the country. Tho ques tion arises, how is it that progress has been made in nearly every direction ex cept in the repression of crime. You cm not resd a uewspapor that does not contain an account of a murder, a rob bery or other crime. Why is it- so to such an alarming extent? We have no hesitation in declaring that much of it springs from defective education. It would be of far greater benefit to the public, as well ss to school children, if half the school hours were devoted to developing the moral natures of pupils. Instilling a love for truth, honesty and sobriety would be of far greater benefit than more mental culture. We hope teachers will duly and carefully consider this subject and we feel sure they will act upon the suggestions above. Emory Storrs, the great Republican lawyer of Chicago, is dead.

It provides bread, biscuit, cake, muffins, or rolls which may bo eaten when hot without inconvenience by persons of the most deli cate digestive organs. With most persons it is necessary that bread raised with yeast should lose its freshness or become stale before it can be eaten with safety. The same distressing results follow from eating biscuit, cake, pastry, etc., raised by the cheap, inferior baking powders that contain lime, alum, or other adulterants. The hot roll and muffin, and the delicious hot griddle cakes, raised by Royal Baking Powder, are as wholesome and digestible as warm soup, meat, or any other food. Another greatly superior 'quality possessed by the Royal Baking Powder is that by which the preservation of im portant elements of tho flour is effected in raising the bread by mechanical operation of the gas without. fermentation. Yeast, and all baking powders that produce tho leavening gas by fermentation, as is well known, destroy a portion of the nutritive elements of the flour, and particularly those which are the most healthful and the greatest aids to a perfect assimilation of the food. The Royal Baking Powder, while perfectly leavening, retains without change or impatr ment all those elements which were intended by nature, when combined in our bread, to make it literally the " staff of life." No leavening agent or baking powder, except the Royal Baking Powder possesses these great qualifications. New Goods.
