THE NEW LAWS.

IJUb iIX4 *W mmmm. The Post has said little or DOtlilng as vet concerning the made iu tne old or the enactment of new laws by the late Republican Legislature. We delayed comment upon these matters, for the reasons that nothing mat lial is thoroughly ut-(lc-rstood, or its good qualities thoroughly appreciated until it has undergone the test. Already part of these changes have been enforced and t ‘id results are seen, while other new departures are to stand the tost that public scrutiny will naturally putthecn to. We do not in this article intend expressing an opinion, either pro or coii, but will simply present a few iiicits and figures that have recently come under our observation. Xu the first place, the list of ques turns to be answered by the applicant for the admittance of an insane person to the asylum, was thereby necessitating a new Insane lie cord and new blanks for eveiy county clerk in the State. These were purchased and the old records and blanks became useless. The new records cost sls 00 each. Ihe old blanks and records were worth at least $lO 00. Extra expenses to each county $25.00; to the state $2,300.00. The change in the ditch law, requiv ing all petitions to be presented be fore the Circuit Judge, imposes an extra expense on each county of at least SSO 00, three new valuablo records being needed. There being 92 counties iu this State, the whole ex-, pense will aggregate $4.600 00. Besides this, two Drainage Commissioners are now acting in every county in the State at a salary of $3.00 per day for each day engaged. What this will amount to in a year, is a question upon which our readers may exercise their own judgment and make their own calculations. It will be no insignificant sum. Then we have the Jury Commissioners, a departure which appears to embrace more red tape than economy, more system than usefulness, and undoubtedly is more expensive than the old manner of choosing juries. These two oi'fii i lls meet four times a year on a $3 per diem salary to manipulate the jury box. This little deviation will cost the State at least another $5,000. Next the Board of Equalization has open increased by four extra mem" bersat a salary of $2,50 each for every day’s service, making an extra cost of SIO.OO for each day or $30.00 for the session in this county while in other counties it may amount to hundreds of dollars. The above are a few facts presented simply for the consideration of every man who is interested in the economy of State expenses and State laws. Most of tnese laws and changes were made during the extra session,- while the State was paying out $2,000 a day to sustain the law-mak-ers. The dog law and eleven pound sorghum law are yet to come.—Columbia City Post.

NORMAL ITEMS.

The Fourth Session of the County Normal has come and gone. While this term was not as prosperous as could have beeu desired, or as it ought to have been, it was far from being a failure. A goodly number of the teachers of the county, a half a hundred, took advantage of the opportunity offered to brush up in the common branches, to learn something new and receive a new inspiration, for it is a fact that teachers do get stirred up to better thought and action in these annual gatherings after a year’s isolated work in their school rooms, and all feel we have been amply repaid for the time and money spent in attending the Normal this summer. The interest was kept up to the last and notwithstanding the oppressive heat a great amount of thorough, practical work was done.

The debating sections held good meetings this week. The question of erantieg suffrage to the women of Indiana was discussed in one section. The argument of one speaker was that the women are as good as the negroes, the negroes can vote, therefore the women ought to vote. Another argument advanced was that if women were allowed to vote the whiskey trafle would be soon abolish* ed. In reply to this last point a speaker on the negative said it would bank ruptthe farmers of corn-raising oounties, like Newton county for instance, because it would lower the price of corn ten cents per bushel as there would be no demand for it to manufacture into “sour mash”, and the said farmers would be unable, there by, to pay off the mortgages on their farms. Ponderous arguments, these The Philosophy class during the week gave the methods of study a thorough discussion and found much in the old memorizing and book methods to condemn.

George Antrim, Tillie Cason, Alice Irwin and‘Lee Glazebrook made some severe yet merited criticisms in their remarks upon these old collegiate methods of study showing that our common school teachers of to-day are wiser than were the old masters? The Physiology class evidently be lieYe that curiosity should be aroused before presenting a fact to the mind in order that it might grasp and retain the fact more- readily. Ask ihem about their “hop-toad"jexperimen t. Hi sses Mattie Lane, Laura Bath* lui . Melissa Mitchell and Mary Hil-

ton were the last arrivals at the Nor. mal. Next week, daring the Institute, we expect to see the “refrigerator” filled to its utmost capacity by a perspiring, good-natured crowd. Come on! We who have been here know how to sympathize With you. and extend you a warm welcome. Nobmalite.

CONTINENTAL RAILROAD.

The Rochester Sentinel says: “Since the engineer and surveying corps left Rochester for the far west, blazing out a line fox the building of the Continental railroad, but little bas been heard of the doings of the Company in relation to steps taken for the early construction of the road#— But because there has been but little said or no grand demonstrations made that nave come to the knowledge of this particular locality, is no evidence that the enterprise is a failure and that the road will not eventually be built. The building of a double track, steel rail railroad from New York, through the States of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and lowa to Omaha, with branches to Chicago and St. Louis, is an undertaking surpassing in magnitude any railroad project ever contemplated in this country* It is a work that cannot be completed in a day or a month, however anxious or impatient the public may be for its consummation. A few over-wise persons who would like to see the enterprise made a success, speak diseouragitigiy of the matter, but their doubts and fears are not likely to have a very depressing influence upon the officers of the Company or prevent them from pushing forward ti e work as rapidly as it is to their interest to do so. When the engineers went west from here and passed Winainac three miles south of the town, the citizens of that place were disposed to treat the matter as a huge joke and audibly smiled to tnink that a great east and west road should think of passing them so near without making that place a point on the line. Recent developments, however, have convinced the citizens of that place that there is a strong probability of the road being built, and that the officers of the Continental Company are not diverging far from a direct line to strike country towns or court house spires. Winamac not being on the line, it is not probable that it can secure the road under any circumstances, yet a stioug effort is being put forth by a few of its most prominent and|influential citizens. DrW. H. Thompson and Dr. E. H. Patterson, both of that place, were here this week to see what could be done to divert the line from its present course so as to strike their town. We also understand that Winamac hi s now a delegation of representative men in New York beseiging the officers of the Company and praying to be favored with the road. Winamac ha 3 some positive assurances that the road will be built or the citizens would not be so interested in the location of the line. A shorter line be tween New York, thejgreat metropo. lis of this country, and the far west, is needed, and the Continental road is to supply the long felt want.

Editor Sentinel: In reply to Nurmalite in last week’s Sentinel in which reference is made to certain resolutions now pending the action of the County Board of Education in regard to hiring teachers on grades. The criticism refers to a left-handed blow by “J.” in a late issue of the Republican, and proceeds, in a mas terly argument, to give the resolutions a home-thrust—in his estimation. There is not, to my knowledge, any other business or profession, wherein a distinction is not made in favor of skill, energy, and industry. This, all will admit, has not been the case with reference to employment of school teachers in Jasper county. All grades have been paid alike the same prices, (varying in location only) regardless of qualifications.—The “dead beat,” without any qualifications whatever, except a large amount of cheek and a low grade license—the latter being issued year after year, on application, for perhaps the last half-dozen years, which he secures with as little labor as possible, never failing, when an opportunity offers, to denounce the attendance of Normal Schools and Institutes as more than useless, and all educational publcations as great bores, and the whole affair as a nuisance. Their methods of teaching, they think superior to all others.— They teach school and are rewarded as highly for their services as higher grade, live, energetio and progressive teachers prompt in attendance on Normal and Institute, holding and advocating opposite views in regard to educational affairs.

It requires but little argument to convince the dullest mind that a teacher with a twelve or eighteen months certificate is better educated, therefore more fully prepared to teach a better school than he could possibly do with an education that would entitle him only to a six months license. The methods and drills incident to securing a higher education alone are inyaluable to the teacher in the school room. A higher education means a greater expenditure of time and money, and the individual making this outlay that he may be more proficient in his duties, should receive proportionately more pay.

As to school officers being legally and morally bound to know what the qualifications of teachers are, I refer him to the school law; said officer may employ any numskull, however immoral, so long as he holds a license In force. If a license gives no idea of a person’s qualifications for teaohinc why not dispense with the useless and* expensive system of teachers’ examinations and County Superintendents and allow school officers to determine the qualifications of applicants?—

There is nothing in the resolutions preventing school officers from se-‘ lecting teachers possessing “good common sense, tact, powers of disoi pline ” &c. The object la to secure a better grade of teachers, which means better schools. A higher standard of excellence is being demanded by the patrons of common sohools. To meet this demand, lam proud to say, our worthy County School Superintend ent is most energetic, with promise of the best possible results. In this contest it would be oetter for those parties who think wages

does not justify the necessary expenditure incident to securing sufficient qualifications for teaching, to drop out of the profession and let others that ft ei they are well paid therefor in securing an education that pre pares them for other useful labors. Young teachers should be encouraged by all means, as their services are in demand, but let us insist on a thorough preparation before they offer their services. The State schools are inexpensive with tuition free and board at very low rates, and acceptable to all that feel disposed to apply.

LETTER FROM MINNESOTA.

Minneapolis, Minnesota, \ Aug. 3, ’Bl. \ Dear Sentinel : We send you greeting from the margin of the magic Northland. St. Paul, in its infancy was known as “White Rock.” from the color of the stone bluff on which it is built. In its villugehood, and until it was named as the capital of the territory, the frontier name was “Pig’s Eye.” The city is now the focus of a mighty commerce. The fat soil and laughing waters of the great North-west bas attracted and grown myriads of stalwart workers in the human hive This city looks to the power of St. Anthony for sustenance aod growth. This is a manufacturing eity, second to none in the world in the articles of lumber, flour and ice. The two metropoli of t.he State are near together, and one is the complement of the other, and the two will no doubt one day be under one rule—a rounded up, model city. The great Jakes and rivers, we understand, have been declared high seas, and under the special con trol of the General Government. The good effects of “an appropriation” are here manifest. The wild and furious cataract obeys the will of applied science wheniiFjKed up by Uncle Sam’s money.

The tractile power of the falling river turns the golden wheat into suowy flour at the rate of twenty barrels per minute. The rough pine logs are sawed into convenieutbui ding lumber at the rate of fifteen square feet per second. Many other industries are sustained by this giant power and “’tis the prop and mainstay” of this wonderful city. Private capital would have been slow in completing this most perfect system of dams, aprons and tunnels. Ours is a great and good nation, and nothing adds more to its greatness and goodness Tnan a wise system of internal as well as harbor improvements. In a seleish light these appropriations are wrong, but our patriotism should lift us to a broader and higher plane. The people’s will ought to sustain the hand of government in doing a good work where it is needed. The water power here is yet but half used, and the farmers of the North-west 'can send in their grain and timber for ages and receive back flour and lum ber. The value of such a power, and the vast machinery it will propel at a trifling expense, can scarcely be estimated. In the dim future the great Niagara will be tamed and made to grind the grain for the continent. We would not have believed of the St. Anthony’s Fails, a few years ago, what we now see with our own eyes. Let us utilize all the powers of nature that consume no fuel, and still we will

have enough for steam and furnace to do In the industries of a great nation, This city is the pet and pride of the people and each one of its citizens seems to point with pride and tenderness to the beauty and use of its providential blessings. We h&ve been hsrs several dny;,aod our recollection has been so constantly jogged by a recital of those objects which touch the finer feelings that we could not go away without a look. The city is forgotten in the lakes and cataracts as well as the human skill displayed in turning the great falls to account.

• MINNEHAHA has won public and poetic distinction. Thus passing to that degree of perfect regard as to be a model for all restive little waterfalls seeking public favor. Like most of the works of nature mentioned in the guide books to this weird North Land, this waterfall is saddled with an ludian Legend. More fortunate still, a poet has clothed the legend in l hythm. The arrow maker’s daughter, in her starving delirium, |said: •‘Hear a roaring and and a rushing, Hear the fails of Minnehaha Calling to me from a distance.’’

It is true, perhaps, that “’twas but the wind among the pine trees,” as old Nokomis said at tne time. We visited the poetic and legendary spot, and looked into the glen below the falls, and along the murmuring cascade. The picture is fair to look upon and we were glad to see “a thing of beau ty” and forget the noise work and oare of hum-drum prose. The stream is about the size of the Iroquois river at medium stage. There is room under the crest of the fall and we passed behind the sheet of water, and looking through at the morning sun could see rainbow tints. The descent is almost 45 feet and no rapids preface the falls. The rocks on either hand are clothed with vines and bushes The place has been allowed to remain almost as nature formed it. The pho tographer has erected his shanty, and a bridge and wooden steps assist the walkist to make the round on both both sides of the creek below the oascade.

Minnehaha is frse ground to all. In summer it is pretty as Longfellow pictures it: “Here the hills of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak trees. Laugh and leap into the valley.” In winter the icicles heighten the beauty and make it more picturesque. The oak, linden, birch, ash, maple and other trees grow on the banks. This is indeed one of nature’s “beauty spots.” Minnehaha oreek is the outlet of a chain of more than a score of lakes, including

Minnetonka, The scene of a legend of another Indian girl that floated over the lake tojthe hunting ground of her spirit lover. “Beautiful Water” it is, and must ever be the pride of Minnesota’s lakes. CALHOUN is another lake In the chain, which has a legend of an “Angel guide.” On its banks a white man, after searehlng twenty years, found his sister who was stolen by the Indians when a babe. The prefix “Minne” to so many names here is the Indian for water. We will go from here home via tbs great lakes, and let our eyes rest from a contemplation of a varied landscape dotted with sky-tinted lakelets by viewing the monotony of our inland seas.

Weather warm. No prospect for rain. Some sickness prevails. Ripe fruit is very eoarce. Still they go up—new buildings on Nubbin Ridge. Threshing is progressing, Smith boys are doing good. Good watermelons are very scarce with us this season. (Stay away, bad boys.) Oats are not threshing out so good as was expected at harvest time. Fall plowing has .begun, but the ground is very hard and dry. The potatoes are fast burning up with the hot dry weather. Grape hunters have commenced scouring the woods. Rev. Flood preached at Centre school house last Sunday to a very large congregation. Charlie Pullius thinks he will have the largest job of threshing in the township. Hay making is nearly over and a largo quantity of the same j»q>ut ups There were two weddings here last Sunday —one near Hurleytown and the other on “Wall Street.” We wish both parties success and happiness.

Most of the farmers having surface wells are complaining very much of the scarcity of water. Pastures are burning up, the creeks are all dry, consequently some stock is suffering. Mr. Dean & Co. threshed over 800 bushels of wheat in one day while working in this township. Mr. & Mrs. Clouse, of Illinois, paid their relatives here a pleasant vis t last week. Quite anumber of youngsters from Rensselaer attended the Basket Meeting held at Alter’s mill last Sunday.— Come again. We are told that Mr. Wm.
