The Rcat of the Railroad Lobby. The lobby came down like the wolf on the fold, Its pockets well loaded with greenbacks and gold. And the beard of its leader w as black as the cloud That tells Of 1114? storm by which forests are bowed. Like swells of the season, when flush for a day, That host in the morning w as brilliant and eav; Like swells who can’t rescue their trinkets from pawn, That host in the evening was scattered and gone. F >r the people had spoken and sternly decreed That they for corruption no longer would blend; And the voice widen the Senate had heard in Its room Had been to the lobby the knell of its doom. And gone was the leader, forsaken and sick, Too weak to invent any sort of a trick. He felt that the weight of his millions would fail, When justice was honestly put in the scale. And gone where the agents, disconsolate, dry. The men to their cursing, the women to cry; So great their defeat and so ut:er their rout. That the veiu Was exhausted, the well was pumped out. Now Credit Mobilier is loud in its wrath, The lion of justice appears in its path. And millions of money shall never again Grow fat on the labor of millions of men. —New York Sun.

Assurance has already been received of an attendance of-over a hundred pupils, and it is confidently expected that this will be more than realized.

Instruction will be given in all the common school branches—zoology, mental philosophy applied to educational methods, and the theory and practice of teaching; Arrangements will be made for board at reasonable rates, and facilities for those desiring to board themselves, at a greatly reduced outlay, will also be presented.
