VAN 8LYKE, Editor. tmr At a ship launch at Caster, Pa-, tb« 9th«r day, the workmen did TKft all Iwtr the conitiimiu i« irave their posts and when the iop«s wareuit ten uii for­ tunate* were caught underneath tire rollers, and seven of them were killed. Great failed from Phi Jar #elph!aon Thursday, for lii« European laur, whereaf the duration is yet an unknown quantity. Traveling and ifhtinf suit him rituch better than fcostlng thing* at Washington did.-- The Grand Duke Alexis also, with his fleet, sailed Thursday, under sealed or- dert for unknown seas. f9"The Illinois Legislature adjofcro- •d on Thursday last, after a session of nearly five months. A great number of btUs were passed, most of them necessa­ ry and wise. Among the important measures is one for the erection of a now penitentiary, ono to give us addi­ tional Circuit Judges and one to in­ crease the accommodations of the In­ sane Asylums. IQTThe Indian Commissioners report that of the 366,151 Indians in the Uni­ te# StUes, exclusive of Alaska, 104,818 are to far civilized as to wear citizen's dross, and 25.622 can read, nearly 1000 having learned last year, In-1868 they bad 7.476 houses; they have now 55,717 houses, having built 1,702 last year and 318,184 acres of farm land under cultiva­ tion, an increase of 263,987 acres in eight years. In the 63 agencies under the care of ISdtfferent denominations, with a total of 218,472, there are 187 church buildings, 27,215 church members and 11,338 scholars in 344 schools. The Board While in session at Washington, had an Interview with President Hayes, ex­ plaining to him the Indian policy in* augurated by the last administration, and receiving from him and the Secre­ tary of the Interior an intimation that thoy favored its continuanoi.' |&*It does not yet clearly appear what American interest will be benefi­ ted by the war in Europe unless Eng­ land should be seriously involved. If England is dragged into the war then tho American flag will become the sa­ fest in the world under which com­ merce can be carried on, and the ship­ ping interests of the United States would experience a great revival. All tho idle steamers and ships in our har- btfm and those suitable for the purpose now employed in the less profitable coasting and other trades would be put into the trade between the United Sta­ tes and Europe, and a great blow would he struck toward regaining American ascendency upon the sea. ft must be remembered, however, that the United States will never regain its commercial ascendency except with American ships It will never do it with foreign ships Tho Americans are tue best shipbuil­ ders in the world ; and it is onlv by fos­ tering their own shipbuilding and us­ ing their own ships tbat they will ever again make their mark as a commercial nation. The merchant marine of the United States still raaks second only to Euglaud as it is. SB DICTIONARY AS AN INSTRUCTOR We notice as a matter ivell w onh tioning, that at the rocsnt great publishers' trade sale in New York, the books that were most in demand and brought the best prices were Webster's Dictionaries, from the famous Quarto to the neat and handy pocket edition iHiis fact is a good indication of the aW most universal popularity of these books, and of the greying public fer iSitiiii. It iinJfcaie* &Uw & fact of far greater importance, and that is the in it re Bt the people are taking in the study of their own language. This is eucounaging, as there is no branch of education that is now and has beeu so much neglected as the common branches of spelling and defining. It is often as­ tonishing and grievous to see how gross­ ly ignorant are children and youth, and even men and women, of the orthogra­ phy, pronunciation and meaning of or­ dinary words aud phrases. They can­ not express their thoughts for the want of words, and often they express thoughts very different from what they Intend, because they do not understand tho words they employ. And very fre­ quently, from the same cluse, they take no idea, or wrong ideas, from what they read or hear. The reme*ly for these evils Is the proper training in the study of words by the use of the Dictionary, and this training should begin *s soon as the child can distinguish between one word and an other, and continue indefinitely The apparatus for this study should, of course, bo the most complete and thor­ ough to be had, and this is abundantly supplied in Webster's Dictionaries, which are justly recognized, where-ever our language is spoken, as the standard authority in English. Parents and teachers can in no other way so effect­ ually or, so cheaply promote the educa­ tional interest of their children, when of suitable age, as by putting in their hauds any one of Webster's School Dic­ tionaries, for daily use in connection with the study of their lessons, and by placing on the family center table, or tho teacher's desk as the authoritative guide aud standard, a copy ol the Un­ abridged. The unabridged contains 3,000 illus­ trations, over 114,000 words and mean­ ings not in any other Diction ary; the abridged editon comprise '"The Prima­ ry," which tas the largest sale, and which has some capital rules for spell­ ing. "The Common School" is similar, but larger, with tables of synonyms, &e. "The High School," still fuller, with many useful tables;"The Academic"* and "Counting-hou«e" for advanced schools and for general home and busi­ ness use. The latter has some specially valuable commercial and financial ta­ bles. Thelittle"Pocket" edition, with its bright gilt edges and merocco bin­ ding, is truly an invaluable pocket com­ panion. It contains more than 18,000 words, rules for spelling, many abbre­ viations, words and phrases, proverbs, etc., ordinarily met with in the Greek, Latin and Modern languages. Wheth­ er it is convenient or not to have copies of any of the other books of the series, we certainly recommend that all should possess a copy of the Pocket, which, when not otherwise obtaiuable, may tye had by mail, by inclosing $1.00 to tho publishers, Messrs. IVISON, BLAKE- MAN, TAYLOR & Co., 138 and 140 Grand Street, New York. Jf^The columns of the PLAINDEALER teem with items of business interest to all; and every one should it this season oarefully study the business offers and recommendations; as well as tho news tsd markets. Many valuable sugges­ tions u*ay be lost because proper at­ tention is not given to what arc kuowu *s advertisements;for while it is true that Man's greed sometimes tempts hits to Misrepresent or over state the virtues of his particular wares, yet meet men claim ho mere in their ad­ vertisements than over their counters. The reading public are gradually com­ ing to the conclusion that business announcements are as valuable in their newspaper, as traveling men with samples are to the village merchant.-- The first enables a man to read and de­ cide on merits or demerits by the pa­ per in his hand, the latter to buy a large stock of goods without leaving his store. Before making purchases carefully read and compare the adver­ tisements,see who keeps the goods yon desire, and the largest assortment •f them. You will also invariably llni that the largest advertisers are active energetic men who buy the closest and sell the cheapest; because the men who do not advertise are those who learned business in the 'last century and are not aware of the pres­ ent modes of doing business. Heuce they sell but little and their stock soon becomes old and shop worn and they cannot give you the goods «r prices that live business men can. We can­ didly recommend to you the business columns of the PLAINDEALER IW sure Indexes of the business bouses that are worthy your patronage. f ttf BETTER give the baby a rattle. He can get lots of fun out of a revolver, but It is »pH# g» off and hurt somebody. When you see the baby in the back yard with a revolver, and a neighbor looking over the fence and whistling. *1 hear an angel culling," it is as well to fe out and take the weapon away from the infant. flgfOxcE upon a time, so the story goes, a man, who had been one of the worst men living, died and in due course of time arrived at the shiniug gates and asked for admittance. Be­ fore entering therein he is asked what he has dene ssitltlirig him to sn sfjods among the angels and he is asked if he had ever lied; confession being made to this, he is questioned is to the whole category of sins, every one of which has been freely indulged in during the whole course/of his life. When this questioner was through, another one began to ask what good he had done and each good deed was to ofiset a bad deed, but he could remember none what ever, all hi6 life had been given up to wickedness and as he felt the evil of his ways, he was turning sorrowfully towards the lower rogions. when he re­ membered a deed he had performed only a few days before his death. And though it seemed small to him he finally said that he had gene into a printing office and paid for three years' subscrip­ tion to his local paper just before he died, "You did eh!" says St. Peter, "Well! walk right in; that one act ofise ts all the wickedness of your lite, but let me tell you, you are the first one I have seen tbat basn't stuck the printer for something in some way. Walk in friend." Dream on this brat hern.-- Ex­ change. the inhabitants of the United States though scattered over a territory four­ teen tiinos the area of France, so much rttofre capable of concerted action, so much more alive aud modern, so much tnore interested in new tfisaoveries of all kinds, and capable ef selecting and utilizing the best of them? It is be­ cause the newspapers penetrate every­ where, and even the lonely dweller on the prairl* or In the forest Is not intel­ lectually isolated from iLe *tc*l eur- rt nts of public life which flow through the telegraph and press.'?; »u • - si) i» • WOODSTOCK. x\ PLAINDEALER :--TH Club, met for the first time in the Methodist church on Monday evening last, having organized the Friday eve­ ning fft-eviou*. Speeches and singing were the prevailing exercises the for­ mer being participated in by two of our three city editors, Rev. T. C. Nerthcott and Rev. R. S. McEwen, but why such men should joinfia Reform Club is one of the things Squeers can't find out. The meeting was rather thinly, attended, but onr name being added to the pledge, so it appears that Peter Whitney intends to reform also L. H. S. Barrows and G* T. Kasson. Will wonders never cease? Frank Williams of Harvard acquUted on the charge of burglary was returned to jail last Monday, (21st) on the charge of larceny. He appears to be about the worst abused man in Harvard, and Mr. J. Smith, J. P. was evidently afraid of him or lie would not have fixed his bail at 91600. Look {out now for old "Hipsy cerpsy*' that' being rather excessive for the theft of a harness even if lie did steal the materi­ al to make it of, but do those silly fellows up there suppose, they can con­ vict him of larceny when they failed to make burglary stick alter having arranged the thing 40 nicely, and caught him in the act ? The 4ldorg" of tl»e Wayerly known as Old Brindle, made himself a little too officious in his attentions last Wednes- dav, and those who knew will know him no more. It is plainly not a case of suicide seeing the dog did not own a revolver and his ciedit was not good enough to permit of bis borrowing one. The editor of the New Era got seventy five dollars in small change at the express office in this citj\ went to Chicago, and en his return complains that some one took that currency out of his vest pocket without sas'ing wby yonr leave sir." but then that was be­ fore he wore the Red Ribbon. The W. D. A. intend early fQ june. to bring out the three act commtdr of "Caste." Glad to see the club reviving butthe B. B. C. has not peeped since that Fairbanks Waterloo. Sheats, so long a resident of this a^dco well known as a wagon ain^, jyto emigrate to Texas. Be- in^Sf ipejiibev of the Band, it gave him a farewell toast last Thursday evening. It were useless to hope that he will find times better there than here as the incubus of Resumption covers the whole laud like a winding sheet; indeed, il appears to be the aim of the leaders of the party in power to reduce'the labor of the country to pauperism. That woodchuck promised us five frosts in May because February gave us five fogs. Wei) as we have already had twelve of them we are likely to get the full number. A sociable was held last Thursday evening on the croquet grennds at the residence of J. S. Wheat, upon which occasion music, lanterns, balls, mallets and conversation held sway notwifcb- •taiiuiiig the war in SurojM. Mr. Judd has sold out his feed store and is ready to receive the money on that little bill. * Some plan must be contrived by our city fathers to keep the loafers from roost ing on the rails of the Spring House, unless it is the intention to de­ prive the ladies of the use of that water The seats should be cushioned with thistles or tacks, anything to make it comfortable. i Street Commissioner Waite is flying about repairing our ways, always finishing his work and leaving the con­ dition better than he found it. There is room enough for the exercise of his talents in that direction during one campaign. Circuit Court adjourned last Tuesday so the law has a respite till September. Bordens house is finished outside and that wing on the Congregational church is enclosed. SQUEEKS. . > , you are looking fo? . * . . THK MAX WHO STOPS HIS PAVER. Philip Gilbert Hamerton, in his ad­ mirable papers on "Intellectual Life," thus talks to the man*who "stopped his paper:" "Newspapers are to the civili­ zed world what the daily bouse talk is to the members of the family--they keep our daily interest in each other, they save us from the evils of isolation* To live as a member of the great white race that has filled Europe and America and colonized or conquered whatever territory it has been pleased to occupy; to share from day to day its thoughts its cares, its inspirations, it is necessary that every man should read his paper. Why are thec French peasants so bewil­ dered and at sea? It is because they never read a newspaper.
