Tho institoot is. I may say, a suooess
Contributions flow in slowly butshoorly
fast enutl indoed to give each uv tho
Board a now soat uv close, and wo,
sposhelly, who hev tho first haivllin uv
tho money, sevr.tl other 'comforts. But
t.lmt nornnr Minn trnnhliM in. Sam lllin-
di'e ls uv people saw a botllo uv likker
and a greenback deposited under it, and
reg'orly every into us bin overturned by
persons in search uv them relics. At
great expense we built onto it a section
uv wall, but makin no account uv our
exponditoor, they overturned it; wo then
lusted a sign-board bearing this legend,
iTlie whisky is gone and the greenback
also,' signed by tho board, but one half
uvlho oitizons . uv that lokality dont
read, and tother aidnt heve the ncssary
oonGdence in the truthfulness uv the
board to prevont etn from going for the
artikles, tho the very knowledge uv us
which brought about this state uv disbe
lief, shood, one wood suppose, hev
taught em that the greenback and likker
ooodnt possibly bo their after so long a
period hoi ensood. So, es a last resort,
we struck two posts in the ground and
drawed au irou chain over it. That
got em. Force is about tho only thing
uv any account in this country.
The Board met last nito at tho Fost
Oflia, whioh ontil wo git the Institoot
built, will bo the headquarters uv the
Trustees, to consider the propriety uv
pubhshin a series uv skool-books adapt
ed especially to the Southern intelleck
and calculated partikelorly to keep ulive
in the minds uv the buddin yootha uv
the late Confederacy, which is untort
nitelv deoest, a lively opinion uv them-
solver and a corrospoudm hatrod uv
Noo England and the North generally.
Wo hev hod serious doubts whether
proper ideas oood be instilled into a
yooth from a book written by a Boston
man, printed in Cincinnati, onto papor
made in Noo York.
I submitted to the Board a example
for a now Arithmetic, to wit :
A Tankeo sent a subslitoot into the
Federal army at a cost uv $1,000, passin
off onto him two counterfeit ten-dollar
notes. To make up the exponditoor ho
to wunst swindles a innocent Kontuck
ian out uv $100 in a patent riti, a Ali-
bamian out uv $200 in a Western laud
trade, and tho balance he maVos up by
ellin woodin nutmegs, which he turns
out uv bass-wood at a profit uv 1 cents
porone. Tho grate moral question ii.how
many nutmegs must this ingenious but
unprincipled cuss manufaktur, and how
long does H take him with the Improved
machinery they hev to do it! i
The Southern soljers at the battle uv
the first Bull Run captured 18 Foderals,
one uv whom bed upon his person $12
in fijreenbax and tothers $8 oaoh. How
many nv Johnson's postmaster! oood ba
bought with the proceeds of the oapchurl
Deckin Pograra approved ' uv these
examples, but ho kept insistin that there
wuznt enuff in em to fire the Southorn
heart. The Southern heart wuz a per
petooal funcrel pile wich needed con.
tinyooal firin. Ouless fired it wuz a
gloomy mass uv very onsightly black
cinders. He proposed that the forth
oomin book shood bo conl oil on tho
slumberin embers uv thoyoothiul South
ern heart. He hod a example :
Tho battle uvChickamauga wuz fought
a oertin numbor uv milos from Chatta
nooga. One regiment uv Confedrit
soljers druv a division uv Fedral merconi
aries into the town. AHowin that oaoh
Fedral, ez well ez Confedrit, lied two
legs, how many more steps did tho Fed.
rals take to git em into Chattanooga,
where they wuz comparatively safe from
Confedrit rage and valor and sich, than
it did tho Confedrits to drive em ther t
Basoom remarkt that ho hod ono wich
he felt it his dooty to porposo :
A sirikly oonsoionshus grosery keeper
starts in biznis worth four hundred dol
lars in olean cash. He pays tor his
whiskey two dollars per gallon in Loois-
villo, and hez for a reglar customor a
Postmaster, wich drinks forty or sixty
timos per day, and alius tells him to 'jist
oiiaiK ltuown.' neqiurea, tne icngui
uv time nessary to bust under them
atll'ctin circiunstancis.
Basoom remirkt thatbng before the
book appaars iu print he would be able
to furnish the anscrto that little problem.
Conzidorin the example a dig direct at
mo, I wuz uv a noslion to retort, but
there wuz siuh a look uv injored lnno
soiiso onto Btscom's oountenauce that
reoly I ooodent. Suthing must be done
Jor Bascom. I hev lived onter him too
long, Tho next oontribushen I reseeve
from friends Nortli shol be devoted to
liquidatin, in part, the debt I owe him.
Icoodbust him, by not givin him at
least oost tor his likker,bul what follows!
Thoro's the rub. Wood ho who come
after give tne credit? Better boar the
ills we hev than fly to them to which wo
hovnt been interdoost.
Joe B'.g!er, the druukin Confedrit
ao'jer, happened in, and hoard the last
two examples, and remarkt that he oood
furnish us any number uv examples at
fi'e. We never stop Joseph in any
thing ho perposos to do, for ho hez a
habit uv carryin a navy revolver slung
to him, and he shoots. Joseph wuz.
therefore, permitted to pcrcoed.
Ef a Southern men pants for his rites,
and fitcs four years for em, gittin licked
like the devil, how long after is it advis
iule for hurt to oontinyoo to pant, pervi
dod he didn't know at tho beginnin wat
his rites wuz ?
1 venuhered to remark that a solushen
uv that problem wuz impossible, ther
bein no pint to work a departure from.'o
which Joseph remarkt that perhaps it
wuz faulty in that partikclor, but he bed
others.

Theso examples,' scd Joseph. 'I
considor nessary tor this book, and if it
is published without em I shel lake it ez

the Board porsonally responsible. The
Southorn yooth must be properly in

amples is nessary to that end. : Let this
Board remember, that, when this book
is publisht, of theso examples is not in
them, they hev me to settlo with.'
And Joseph departed. Wo are in a
quandary. Wo dare not publish the
book without his examples, for he alluz
keeps his word and is a ugly' cuss to
deal with, aud uv course puttin em iu
coodent bo thought uv. , We finally de
cided that Joseph must be got out uv

foro votid that Basoom give him unlimi

THE NJSWSPAPER BUSINESS.
Tho Janesville Gazette has a long ar
tislo under tho obove head to the follow
ing effect : 'Another class of well mean
ing but thoughtless persons regard a
newspaper as a sort of benevolent enter
prise, gotten up by some liberal minded
gentleman for the Bole purposo of doing
ull the good possiblo, and who has se
lected the million tongucd press to ac
complish it, They are tho regular
poachers upon tho press men who al
ways want their favors inserted gratui
tously; and aro always ready to inform
the pubtUhcr that ho is engaged in pub
lishing a newspaper, and always sure to
have something of a business nature that
they believe to bo good news, which
ought to be given to the eager public at
once, One man has just patented a
new heating apparatus that will save
half the fuol now med, and, of course it
will be a great favor to the poor if the
editor will just tell tho people, freo of
oharge, where such an apparatus can bo
bought. A man engaged iu the manu
facture of reapers recently sent us a
communication ot two columns of solid
matter, sotting forth the saving his ma
chine would bo to farmers over tho
common reaper, which ho wished inser
ted gratis; it would be helping the far
mers, don't you see !
'Then thero are nuniborloas organiza
tions aud associations of indiyiduuU
that are clamorous for a freo ride in the

they are too poor to pay; and second,
bocauso they are engaged in doing good,
and it is the business of the publishers to
help on the noble work. Firemen get
no pay tor watching tho property of

If you read a paper, pay for it; it you

OLD KNAPSACKS.
The following beautiful and touching
extract is from a letter ot 'A woman in
Washington to the Now York Indm
pendent;
'I saw a pile of knapsacks the other
evening at tho cottage on Fourth street:
knapsacks mid havcrsaks left behind for
safe keeping by the boys who wont to
the front and never came back. The
eloquence of these worm-eaten Pud
moulded bags cannot be written, Here
was a piece of stony bread uneaten, the
little papur of coffeo, the smoked tin cup
in which it had boiled bo often over the
hasty fire on the eve ot battle. There
was the letter, sealed, directed, and
novor sent, for tho soldiers could not
always get oven a stamp. Here was a
letter half writton, commenced. 'Door
Wife: How I want to see you.' 'Dear
Mother: My time is nearly out.' Tbo
rusty pen just as it was laid down in the
halt tilled shoot by tho gallant anl lov
ing hand whioh hoped bo' soon to tin'iBh
it. Here was a scrap of patriotic poet
ry, and inspired lyrics carefully copiel
oa sheets of paper tinted with red,
white and bluo. Here wero photographs
ot the favorite Generals, and photo
graphs of the dear ones at home. Hero
were letters ot hoart breaking love, and
loyalty to duty, and holy faith and cheer,
written at home; and here was the
Testament given him by tho woman he
loves best, soiled and worn. For the
American soldier, if he rarely read it,
still he would carry his Teetamont as a
dear talisman to save him from harm
Hero wero thoso mementoes of braye,
living, loving life gone out. Thoy nev
er came back! The mourners at homo
do not all know whore thoy fell, or
whother thoy were buried. To oue un.
familiar with the soldior's life, these
relics might mean little. To me they
moan all loyo, all suffering, all heroism.
I look on them, and again seems to me
the long linos ot marching men filo past,
dust covered and warm on their way to
battle I see tho roads cf Virginia sim
mering in the whito heat, lined with ex
hausted men lying down to sleep and
to die, after tho last defeat, hoar the
cry of the wounded, tho moan ot tho
dying, soo tho half filled grave, tho un.
buried dead. All tho awful reality of
war comes back. So, too, do knightly
days and dauntless men. Peace walks
amid the May flowers, and alroady our
soldiers seem almost forgotten. Days
of war and deeds ot valor scorn like
dreams gone by.'
