ANYBODY can soil the reputation of an individual, however pure and chaste, by uttering a suspicion that his enemies will believe and his frlende never bear of. A puff of Idle wind takes away a million of the seed of a thistle, and does a work of mischief that the husbandman mus*. labor long to undo, the floating particles being too flne to be seen and too light to be stopped. Such are the seeds of slander so easily sown, so difficult to be gath­ ered up, and yet so pernlc'ous in their fruits. The slanderer knows that many a mind will catch up the. plague and become poisioned by his Insinuations without ever seeking the an'tdote. No reputatien can refute a sneer, nor any human skill prevent tbe mischief.-- Ex. EVERT few days we are reminded how many of our business men are being humbugged by snide advertise ing mediums. The snide starts out by promising almost an unlimited l*sue of his sheet, when In fact, the adver­ tiser would have a hard time to'find one in the houses of our people. Many business men who pay money for this kind of advertising, will tell the pub­ lisher of a re<u kfly issued newspaper, with a bonaftde subscription, that goes right into tbe homes of our people, that he cannot afford to advertise, or that the rates are hlgn, at the same time lie is throwing away bii monev on the aforesaid snide concern. While we feel it a duty to c>ll attention to this state of aflairs, not on the score of any lack of advertising patronage felt by the PLAINDEALEK, for a reference to our columns wdl offset auy charge of this kind, but simply because we see our business men being Imposed upon. If these advertisers will but follow up tbe matter--Investigate for themselves--no snide will ever be able to humbug them In the future, and then chuckle over the amart trick he has played on them, as he pockets the money for which he has rendered no adequate equivolent. ...

EDITOR PLAINUBALBR:-^ your issue of last week there appears an article "To the Public.*' censuring me tor having all to do >*ith making the prlca of tickets for the 4tb of July parties. This I claim is false, and 1 deny tbe whole charge. 1 was not In the dancing business, and had no In* terest in the party whatever. 1 ad nit meeting Mr. Ford and having some talk at out tbe pariet, and well re­ member his saying that two dollars was altogether too cheap tor a 4th, of July Party and furnish the music he had to, and I told him I (bought there would 6e no trouble of arranging the' price with Mr. Parker, It aipear* that afterwards he sent his clerk over to the Parker House to sea if the price could be fixed at 93.60. W. Parker agreeing with him to sell the tickets at that price. Now If Mr. F. Is sick of his bargain, I can't see who is to biaine but himself. He says that they were sold at all prices at the Parker House. Now If there is one thing I do kuow about It Is what the tickets were sold sor, as I sold them myself. There was not one sold for less than 92,60. There were no compllmentaries. nor were theie any giveu away to parties if they would iofiuenoe their friends to come with them. And that isn't all I didn't have to register the names of all the help In tbe bouse and then multiply tbe whole number by two to be able to show up 106 N is. sold as he did, but Instead sold 160 tickets. Not a man even asked me to take a cent less, and if Mr. F. will bring me a man who bought a full ticket for less than 92,60 I will present him (Ford) with a ten dollar note (a greenback) Now Mr. F. don't be whining around at this late day and blaming Innocent parties for your bavlng charged the boys a half dollar more than the thing was worth (for they all know that) but go to them quietly, ask their par* don. and say to them, hfrt Is fifty cents.

Every school officer and patron of our schools Is, or should be, directly Interested In its success. A general Invitatiou is ex­ tended to all of our friends, to visit us at auy time, even It you cannot <-tay but a few minutes. Remember that State Superintendent Raab will be with us Monday the 23d, and deliver a public lecture in the evening.

Our teac <ers are manifesting an un­ usual degree of interest In the coming Institute. Many of them will not have closed their terms of schools at that time. In such cases I earnestly urge the Directors to remove that obstacle, by granting them a limited v»catlon. No matter how successful we may have been in our school work, there Is still room for Improvement. The growing demand Is for better teachers, and the design ot rur Institute Is to assist In supplying that demand. I have received many inquiries In re latlon to board duriog the term. If our friends In, and near Woodstock* who can entertain a limited number of teachers, will notify Miss Alice Blikes- ley, by card, or otherwise, of their terms, and ihe number they can accom modste, they will confer a great favor.
