Contents.
We call special attention to tlie con
tents of the Review this week as an
index to what may be expected in the
future. On the first page can be found
a general miscellany and all the State
news. Our editorial page this week
discusses the leading issues of Prohibi
tion and Labor. One of the articles
being a conesoadence fro n one of the
best posted citizens of our countv; be
sides this are many editorial notes on
the princial issues. Our local page is
replete with a summary of the news of
the county, and interesting communi
cations from the different sections. We
call special attention to the contribu
tions, "Piscatorial," ' Our schools," and
Casaraltan's descriptive trip. . Also Mr.
Reed's timely article on"Itniigration.''
. On our fourth page is the "People's
Forum" but this depaitment seems to
have spread oer the entire issue this
week. An excellent article on "Secu
lar Journalism" can here be found, as
well as a good suggestion concerning a
"County fair," but the whole paper.' is
well worthv of jterusal this week and
vre are greatly pleased that the people

Fine Hat. The Editor of the Review
received by express this week from Portland
a fine silk hat, from his old friend at Indepen
dence with this note,, "with compliments from
your pious friend, M. Roscndorf. We thank
our Hebrew brother, for this token of regard,
and wish him much prosperity and long life,
and sincerely hpe that he may be admitted to
the society of Abraham, his father.
Died. Mrs. Mollie E. Dav's, wife of Dr.
M. W. Davis, died in this city on Saturday
morning, Sept. 5th. She was the daughter of
Joshua Mathews and was born in Douglas
county January 25th 1856, and lived a peaceful
religious life in this county until her untimely
death. She was a member of the Baptist
church. Last Octolxrr she was married to
Dr. Davis and leaves one child by this union
and two by "a fomrer husband, Glendening.
For nearly six weeks she had been ill with ty
phoid fever, now and then making a rally only
to sink lower. She looked forward to death
with calmness and strong christian hope. Her
remains were buried in the Masonic cemetry,
Rev. John Howard conducting the services
both at the Presbyterian Church and at the
grave. During her illness everything was done
that was possible and her husband was con
stantly at her bedside. She has solved the
sublime problem, crossed over the dark valley
and shadow of death and through the blood of
Jesus Christ rests in a blissful and eternal
happiness.
The Reform Club. The increased atten
dance at the meeting of the "Roseburg Reform
Club" is evidence that the grand cause is gain
ing momentum. After a song by the choir,
prayer by the Chaplain, reading and approval
of the minutes, Prof. Horner delivered the
regular address, showing the evil effects of in
temperence on the human family as individual
ly, and as a society, comprehensive statistics
were given when it was shown that enough
; money is squandered in the U. S. A. annually
to pay off the national debt. Particular in-
c&ences were given where men under the in
fluence of liquor did that which they would
have done under no other circumstances. "Be
ye temperate in all things," This was follow
ed by a tribute to the objects also the success
' of the Roseburg Reform Club. After a recess
thore was singing, recitations, five minutes
Jeeches und an extempore dialogue that ex-
' hibite'd the "Student's Troubles." It was
heartily appreciated and discovered to our sat
isfaction some real talent for the comic. W.

Our Schools.
Mr. Editor: The past and present con-
ditton of our schools, their many deficiencies
and prospective needs, demand more general
land thoughtful consideration than they are
likely to receive, unless something be done to
brinsr them more fully to notice. With the
- -
view to excite interest, elicit aiscussion, anu
stimulate action, u is proposed to write a senes
of articles upon teachers, discipline, instruction,
I . . , - i .t.j. it : i .ir-i
texi - oooks, meinour, -m.iciiui anu ueiecl5
of the school, involving incidentally the duties
of superintendents, teachers, parents andschol-
ars. 1 hese articles win emoouy tne views and
Ml 11.
opinions of the writer only, for which no one
else will be responsible. If in themselves they
shall contain nothing of especial value, there
may grow from them a resultant interest that
shall amply compensate for your space and my
labor A thor0uch and critical analysis of the
subiects wouid extend these artictes bevond

but mere suceestive. First: Teachers, if
there j m - h lare natural e d
ments are SDecialiv desirable, .it is that of the
11 j - ,
teacher. He will find full' exercise for all the
strength and depth and breadth of soul he can
brine to bear upon his' work. He is doins
the work not merely for the term or the life,
but for eternity. To his hand is intrusted the
molding. Hirertinn-. developing of the plastic
1 fc -' o - - 1
mins under his care. Upon him rests the re
sponsibilitv of stamping upon the receptive
1 -
mind of the child an impress that will be indel
ible and may shape forever a human destiny
From the cold dead marble the sculptor shapes
by the power of his genius an image that may
seem a poem,' a picture or a prayer, at his will
it becomes a goddess a satyr an angel or a
fiend. But it is lifeless still. His glowing soul
cannot transfuse its energy into the marble.
He can appeal to the aesthetic sense through
the perfection of form, but he cannot touch
life's hidden springs, for there is no liie. The
teacher is the sculptcr of the human soul.
Each element of the child's nature, physical,
mental and moral and spiritual shall by the
hand of the faithful teacher be molded nearer
the symmetry by which the divine mind created
h. It is no field for bunglers, mistakes are too
costly. The sculptor spoils his image, he can
take a new block of marble and redeem his
error, w hen the teacner spoils his work a
human soul is destroyed or distorted, he c.;n-
not redeem his error. The material is too costly
to be committcd to careless hands. The
teacher needs large mental powers, so that he
can grasp with a master hand the truths he is
to impart, and that he may have great percep
tion, sound judgment, and wise foresight in the
methods of instruction and discipline. He
needs a strong moral sense to give him accu
rate perceptions of duty and hold him steadily
in its performance, to give him a due sense of
responsibility, and especially to fit him prop
erly to inculcate those moral truths that are as
much his duty to teach as the intellectual
stmlies of the school, and to sustain him in do
ing that which he knows to be right, though to
do it he may have to stand alone He needs
deep spiritual inspirations to give him faith in
the ultimate success of his work, though he
sees no present results, so that he can feel that
the present toil and care and weariness, shall
bear fmit that shaU WeS3 the world when his
hands have been folded in rest, and that shall
enable . him to draw from the Infinite Source
a strength that is greater than his own. W.

Editor Review: In- your last issue, I
told you briefly, of our visit to Gardner and
vicinity, and promised a continuation of the
narrative. Bemg desirous of visiting Smith
river, and having mUsed "steamer day," the
doclcr and myself bade a tearful adieu to the
General, who was compelled by business cares
to tear himself away from our fascinating com
pany and camp grub. We then looked about
us to find a small boat for our trip. We were
fortunate enough to meet Mr. Wes. Reed, who
in the fullness of his genial good nature, pro
vided us with one of the best boats on the river.
We desire to record the fact that our kindest
regards and gratitude for the kindness shall
never be forgotten. As was usual with him,
the doctor sat at the dinner-table so long that
we got a late start and were compelled to pull
for about fifteen miles of the trip, against the
tide, and did not reach our objective point,
the residence of Mr. C. D. Ricker, until after
dark.
1 lere we were cordially received by Mr.
R. and his accomplished wife, who did every
thing for our comfort and refreshment, even to
placing before us a sumptuous supper, which
convinced us that Smith river is literally a land
flowing with milk and honey. Of course I
wasn't very hungry and it devolved upon the
doctor to but let it pass. The next morning
under the Widance' of Mr. R.. we investiirated
'
Norfolk, which is a veritable Venice - in hs
location, the river beinr the nrineinal street.
, ' r
and only hichwav. In a boat, we visited the
fine rarms and orchards of Messrs. Perkins.
Lester, Murphy and Sherrets and others, and
we were forciblv impressed with several facts
Their residences were larger and handsomer
than the average farm houses in our county.
The clover and other grasses are still fresh and
green, from which follows the next worthy fact
that they make honest yellow butter. Again,
their orchards are in a state of thrift and cul-
tivation worthy of special commendation, es-
neriallv in view rf what I read in a Califnrnin
paper last week, in which a traveling corres

Obituary. James J, Comstock died at
Eugene City last Tuesday morning aged fifty
two years. He had been in failing healjh for
several years and his recent condition gave us
warning of approaching dissolution. Never
theless the news of his death was a painfu
shock to us. It is with sadness that we realize
that a good and worthy man, a true and cher .
ished friend has departed from us forever on
earth. - Mr. Comstock came among us. in
Roseburg in 1865 in the capacity of superin
tending officer of the Oregon and California
Stage Company and his acquaintance with our
people ripened into life enduring friendship.
There was a mien and manner of kindness and
gentleness about him that was attractive to all,
the young and the old, the rich and the poor
all alike loved him. He possessed wonderful
energy in matters of business and his every
enterprise was characterised . with the native
hue of resolution which sickness could scarce
ly dim. His disease was paiuful and long pro
tracted. ; It never impaired his spirit or mind
but it wasted his body and tortured him with
agonizing pain. It conquered and with its
victory came peace. He quietly sank to gentle
rest in "the bosom of his father and his God."
To the bereaved widow, to her who in longj
patience trembling hope, and. tender, gentle
love guarded his bedside until the coming of
the sublime yet awful moment we extend
profound sympathy. Mr. Comstock was a
Royal Arch Mason and was buried on Wed
nesday according .to the solemn rites of this
ancient order. Silently and softly they laid
his body down to sleep until the dawn of the
resurrection. Peace be io his ashes is our
prayer. ;
