It is claimed that one trades- man of the burg, believes that the earth is not round, and has for some time been trying to demonstrate that it is without motion, much to the amusement of the biys who watch his system of “Sighting the North Star”, ranged in line with two tack nails driven into the door post.

BUCKEYVE, Jowa~ State lAsylum for Feoshle Minded Children: This institution was established by the general assembly of the state of Towa in the year 1876, and located at Glenwood, Mills county, in the build- ing formerly occupied by soldier’s orphans. The object of this institu- tion is to provide special means of im- | provement to that class of children eo deficient in or afflicted with such marked peculiarities, of intellect as to depriyo them of the beneflts and privileges of other educational insti- tutions and ordinary methods of in- struction. The education imparted to this oclass, includes not only the simple elements of instruction of our common schools, where that is practicable, bub embraces a course of training in the more practical matters of evory-day life, the cultivation of habits of clean- liness, propriety and self-reliance, and to develop and enlarge their capacity for useful ocoupations, Idiots and imbeciles aro feoble in body as well as mind, Their gait and voluntary —movements are gonerally awkward and slow, and &eir special senses inactive and undeveloped, and are wanting in nerv- ous and muscular power. Physical training and development, thereforo, are essential, in order that their men- tal improvement is made permanent, hence the importanceand necessity of mnnastic and. calisthenic exercises an their treatment. The very foeble power of attention must be cultivated and increased by the most attractive means. The spec- ial senses must be trained and edu- cated, vicious habits are to be correct: ed, and the iden of obedience and moral obligation must be planted and nourished; and all this must be ac- complished by special means adapted to the individual, as well as the gen- eral treatment peculiar to such insti- tutions; and it is only insuch asylums, directed and arranged for the accom- plishinents of these special objects that ths{ can receive such benofit. Woe find here children and young people, graded all the way from the “dummy” in our commom schools to the idiot, classified and at work, and we find the boy, who could not count or repeat a short sentence or stand with ordinary composure, can now put to shame some of our heed- less, neglected boys, who have boen spoiled by their smartness, The school is & very important fea- ture of the institution. Here we tind a choice combination of kindergarten training, calisthenics, and mental gymnastics, offered 60 kindly, intro- duced everywhere so artfully, and in- sisted upon so winningly, that every- where we find order, chverfulness, an interest in the task; and the most mind, | excmplifies in'the strony complete confidenco in the teachers and superintendent, “The kind-hearted people who are spending the best part of the lives in is noble work, have great respo! bilities resting on them, and quite often ave plaged m vory (rying cir- cumstances, requiring great patience, and the utmost self-command, while at the same time it is necessary to 8% a native polish of manuers, an inborn dignity and grace i every moyement, and an all porvading spirit of Christian earncstness and I‘..\-o for the noble work to which they have given themselves, Very many of the boysand girls who have every advantage, seemingly, in our common schools, would blush with shame to seo these poor, deform- ed and simple-minded children going through their exercises cheerfully, promptly, and with all the enthusiasm and pride of the ‘‘smartest boy in school” who knows he can ‘‘spell the school down;” and the careless self- important teacher who has attained notoriety as a ‘‘machine” teacher, might well take lessons from these patient, quiet, Chyistian young ladics who are helping these children to work out the problem of life and in- mortality, and demonstrating to the thoughtiess world the wonderful power and mysterious influence that culti- vated and refined Christian ladies may exercise over vicious and idiotic pupils of any age. Dr. O. W. Archibold, M. D,, the institu n from superintend h this is the rime he beginning, nt, and to him, we mnl properly give credit for he success and perfection in the ac somplishmonts _attained here. Dr Archibold has had the advantage o raining in quite a_number of ouy Jeading medical schools, including Bellovue, New York University, Col ege of Physicians and Surgeons, anc he Missouri Medical College of St. is, and for years las given hit whole soul and thought to the work of such asylums, and is the right man ir the right place, Of ]-ll:mn;(mhln»nn, a finished gentleman, a hard student and thorough practic ician, all absorbed in the g before him, he carries with him an atmos pher kindness that seems to be appreciated by every one around him, wnd yet sustains that native dignity inborn nobleness and untiring e which commands and ‘‘leads the w in all the daily work, and his work t way, the character-forming ele t of ex ample and influence of refined and enltivated christian ladies and gentle- me: | More than a hundred of these wards of the state have been refused ad mission for want of room, and the fact that two hundred and fifty are admitted into that crowded institution at prosent, tells how easily a state with 4 £3,000,000 state liouse, can overlook the needs of fering children of affliction, prosent building is intended a8 a wing to the main building, and it is a wonder that human inginuity can invent ways of supplying the demands of the poor or at a5 well as it is done with the small ap- propriation and the crowded condi- tion of the building, Laying aside the question of steam-heater, laundry, new sleeping apartments, and many other much needed improvements, more room is needed and, it seems to us, demanded, that the classifi- cation might be improved. As it is, children from all varietics of families must here mingle more than they should; and the \m{, who cannot speak a word intelligently ex- cept to swear, must bring that evil into the presence of the child born and reared tenderly by some faithful and trasting mother; and the child born of abnormal passions must re- quire untiring care and continual watching, whon allowed to mingle with boys and girls in any school or home. What would be done with these children should an epidemic appear in that peaceful home? is a problem, and to intonsify the question we must re- smber that many of these children i and the faithful physician ofte nds his wits puzzled to handle these safely, under the anx- jous and undivided “attention of the mother, but what can bo accom- plished in theso crowded xooms! The aggrogate expense of this insti- tution, including teachers salaries, unounts to about twelvo dollars for each child; while most of the institu- tutions of this kind reach sixtcon or twenty dollara for cach child, cach year, and usually the produco of a good farm besides. Such fattention Tas the success of this enterprice awakened, that the national associa- tion of officers of similar and kindred institutions in the United States and Canada are to hold their next meoting here in June to satisfy their desire to learn of the ways and mcans of ac- complishing these grand results. Miss Jennio Van Dorn, the principal teacher in the sehool, has been in her responsiblo position from tho opening of the asylum, and is a lady of large oxperienco in schools of this kind, thoroughly qualified and accom- olished, and is & master spirit in the school. Miss Luoy Russell and Miss Laura Bakor havebeon with this school for sowe time, and aro_filling their positions nobly. Miss Phabe Coftin and Miss Mattie McLean. come fresh to the work with hearts full of sympathy with all the duties they so nobly discharge, while Mrs. 8. A. Archibold, as matron, has her hands and heart taxed every day, to mother all those dear children, and look after their child-ways, their joy and sor- rows, and supply their wants. As a pedagogue for years, we have visited a great many schools, and seen human nature in many forms, and to us, the grandest triumph in this insti- tution lies in the complete harmony of all its workings. That entire confi- dence that overy child has in the teachers, and the porfect understand- ing botween teachers, the unbounded praise awarded by the parents, and the reciprocal cheorfulness, obedience, and family co-operation that seems to per- vade the whole institution mnarking it a grand succeas and an honor to the State.

What a change in seven years, The assessed valuation of the county last June was about $716,000, an increase over the previous year of nearly 100, and T believe the assessed valuation next year will be over double what it was this, or nearly one million dollars, on account of of its rapid settlement and miles of railroad built this season.

We cast in this county a larger vote than either of the following counties of the State, viz.: Antelope, Boone, Codar, Cheyenne, Custer, Dakota, Dawson, Dix Franklin, Frontier, Greeloy, Hitcheock, Howard, Koith, Knox, Lincoln, Nance, Nuckolls, Phelps, Pv Willow, Sherman, Stanton Valley, Wayne, and Wheele While we did not cast to exceed hve-eighths of a full vote, which remark I presume will apply with equal fc to the vest of the countics of the State, the vote for our County Treasurer was 42 more than for Judge ot Supreme Court.
