The Liver is the imperial organ of the nil !e human system, as it controls the life, health and happiness of man. When it i~ disturbed in its proper action,all Kinds .ailments are the natural result.

The murderer of the body can be tried and executed by the world’s laws, hut the uturd.-rcr of the soul is tried by heaven’s law, an 1 the execution is as sure as divine justice. Aunt Betsey said this as she folded the white hands of a beautiful girl and put white flowers and green leaves about the marble eold forehead. Then was a tiny babe beside the girl mother. The house was hushed, and there was mourning such as few know. Half glad that the mother and child were dead, the rest of the family must perform the last sad ofiice of burial, and bear the family shame. A haunted house! A ruined home! God the architect and mau the poilcr. The curse is there, and the de stroyer cannot escape. IT llAs> STOOD THE TEST.

Those who believe in it aro obviously be yond the reach of any argument which can be put in the form of words. It Is a pity they could not be collected together in some ioland and given free scope for the exercise of thc-ir fancy.

The first of the announced sessions of the Literary Association occurred Tuesday evening, August (itli. The weather was very uncomfortable on account of the heat, but a large audi ence assembled to hear the exercises. Most all present wore teachers, and sevoral of the papers were prepared especially for patrons, and it would have been of benefit to the schools if the patrons could have heard them. The teachers appointed, ali came up to tinto,an i there was no absentee. This speaks well for the interest of the membership in the work of the schools. All the papers were good as well as interesting, and the benefit derived therefrom was great. We havo not space to speak of each, but the following conclusions wero reach cd: Ist. Exhibitions were injurious to schools. 2d. Examinations and reviews should he constantly em ployed to fix the important facts in the memory. 3d Tho country schools must have a course of study, and it must bo intelligently used. 4th.

The work of this association aud the Normal Institute is being felt an 1 appreciated by the teachers and citizens of Mahusku county. Examination. Tho examination for certificates will occur 23d and 24th of August. This is at the close of tho present Nor. mal Institute, and it is hoped that all expecting to apply will bo present at that timo. According to the new law tho examination costs one dollar , whether a certificate is secured or not. It is thoroforo necessary that the teachers examined bo able to meet tho caso tho first trial. Use of Shall ami Will. In answer to a short inquiry from an lowa teacher asking for more light on Mr. Arnold’s views concerning the use of tho words “shall and will,” I would say this, to do Mr. A. justico. Ho says, “when wiil assorts present volition and when shall is used to en force obligation, they are in tho Po tential mode; but, when these words aro used to assert a prediction, they are in tho Indicative.” Ist. “Will” is never unipersonal. 2d. Ho of course refers to tho verb in tho predicate and means volition of tho subject. 3d. “John, I know you are inno cent but you ‘will' bo severely pun ished. In this sentence ‘will’ is not unipersonal, nor does it express voli. tion; therefore, tho verb ‘will’ does not always express volition. Any other questions will bo thank fully received and answered. It is only by discussion that wo can be come familiar with the knotty points of language. Alice Collins. Walla Walla, W. T, July 28, 1878. “Showing Partiality. Among tho fault-finding class of pa rents and school-dircotors, thoro is a tendency to watch with jealous eager, ness for a display, on tho part of tho toacher, of spoeial kindness to one or moro pupils. A mother is not expected to treat •ach of her threo children oxactly aliko. Sho will tell you that Jano must bo managed through her affcc tional nature, Mary isrcachod by rea son, whilo John will only obey when ho fears to do othorwiso. If tho mother finds such a diversity of character in her little flock, what must tho teacher find in tho school room containing, say forty pupils? Would it be wise to subject the shrink ing, sensitive, affectionate Jane, to the rigid discipline which seems to be the only hope for John? Perhaps not, but the teacher finds that if ho would ©scapo being stigmatized as “partial” ho must use exactly tho same moth, ods of government with all his pupils. In tho recitation, tho necessity for a diversity of “ways and moans” is mado peculiarly apparont. Tho Janos are liko sensitive plants, and aro so withered by the touch of criticism as to be rendered incapablo of cohoront replies. Tho Marys aro quick to por coivo their orrors, and mako hasto to profit by their newly acquired wis dom. Tho Johns must somotimes bo compelled to relinquish thoorror, and learn tho hotter way. Only throo classos of children havo boon men tioned and thoro are many more, very many; yet it may bo that the few ideas prosonted will lead some one among tho jealously inclined, to ro viow tho case carefully before again asserting “that teachers show partial ity.

We do not feel compelled to confine this habit to our common schools; it even ex tends to our high schools and colleges. This practice has a very extensive exis tence. To speak of the gravity of this offense is an almost useless task. There is nothing more annoying to a teacher than to be frequently by whispering. It not only hinders pu pil himself from making advancement bit retards tho progress of those around him. Every one can enumerate many troubles emanating from this sourec. I can al most assert that were every teacher ques tioned closely on this one particular lie * would reply: “My greatest difficulty has been in fiuding a proper method to quell this disturbance.” plans, but have they I been as successful as was desired? Iu I experienced teachers know not half the I evils attending this habit. Nor can those of experience give an accurate*aecount of all the different cases as he met In flict a puuishmeut aud nine times out! of ten the pupil can and will outwit you. Is there no remedy? Can nothing be done to lessen this trouble. First there must he a cause. And 1 firmly believe that’the primary cause is carelessness on the part of the teacher. I know many will raise their hands iu wonder and astonishment at this asser tion, hut ’tis nevertheless true. Small children cannot eoneieve of what a greiv ous fault it is. ThcTittle ones think, ‘•I dont make much noise whispering.’’ True enough, hut they must bo taught that each one making just a little noise, results in quite a confusion. ’Twill not take long to impress this upon them. With those who are older a different plan must he adopted. First, work pub lic sentiment up to the degree that it can not he tolerated. No pupil wants to be unpopular, aud will readily’ conform Lis idea of things to those around him. To entirely remove this difficulty we must be gin in the right place. Little children can he pursuaded out of it, if approach ed properly. With old“r ones we can reason. If we carry out these plans prop erly there will not be so much of this an noying and injurious habit. E. L. 1. Letter from Alice Collins. Walla Walla, W. T.,) July 28, 1878. j Supt. Seerley:— Your kind and welcomo letter at hand sotno time since. I waitod to sco tho Herald before replying. Thcro is ono sen tence in iny last letter which would mislead ono to think that tho Walla Walla valley is many times wider than it is. 1 should have said “across tho valley to the foot-hills, a distance of twenty miles, and up tho slopo to tho summit of tho Cascade mountains, a distance of 175 miles.” Tho valley is said to be only about twenty miles each way, but farming land extends nearly ono hundred miles each way. It seems odd to seo farmers plowing 'round such abrupt hills, but they say tho soil Is much better here than in tho low land. On account of dry weather sotting in a little sooner than usual, wheat is said to bo injured in somo localities, wkilo in others it is good. Many bushels of wheat were sold in the sack at 40c per bushel. Last fall farmers shipped it to Portland and sold at 75c a bushel. Harvesting bo gan about three weeks ago, but it is generally sooner. Plowing and sow ing aro dono in tho fall. Gang-plows with teams of four, five, and some times six horses, aro used almost en tirely. Wheat-headers and stoam threshers aro quite common. Har vest hands receive from §3O to SSO per month. In winter hands receive from $lB to $25 por month. Business is quito lively 7 in Walla Walla; ono dry goods firm claims to sell $6,000 worth somo days, although the In dian operations have, for the lime, in terfered. augSti There are two separato and indepen dent school districts in this city. A prin cipal and assistant teacher in each one. One principal gets SBS per month, tho the other S9O. Assistants from SSO to $55. Teacher’s wages in the country aro from $33 Jto SSO per month, with the privilege of “boarding round,” or pay ing board. 1 preferred to pay. Official* aro very strict in the matter of issuing certificates. No one can secure one here who can not in lowa. A reliable map of tho territory and of Oregon has just been published hy J. K. Gill& Co., of Portland, Oregon. It is very complete and helps one to form cor rect ideas of location and direction of im portant places, which has been very diffi cult for mo. Very little that wo hear here concerning the Indians is reliable. No sooner is ono report well circulated than it is contra dicted by another. Thcro have been, how ever, several slight engagements within thirty miles of us, but when we heard of the death of Acgan, the chief of the i’iutcs, wo felt that tho trouble was most over; but a rumor is now afloat thut the Nez Forces aro coming to help our In dians. It seems to be the general opinion that Gen. Howard prays too much aud watches and fights too little; but since there are so few soldiers, I do not censure him for shielding them from from danger, if pcr clmncc such should bo his object. Tho out skirts of tho town uro occupied by ranch men an I their families, frightened away from their ranches lest tho ludians should corno upon them. Thcro are rumors of ludians entering aud ransacking hous es uud walking off with tho men’s Sun day clothes and stove-pipe hats; but tho men were absent, and tho women hid in tho brush, thus avoiding the eye of the savage redmin.

LAME BACK AND rheumatism CTTBZDBY PHPM I IUCI VOLTAIC yttUJUULUIIO PLASTERS Messrs. Weeks dt rotter: Gentlemen;—One year ago 1 was seized with a severe attack of Rheuma tism In my right hip, to which I was subject. 1 tried the various liniments and rheumatic cures, but without the least benefit, when my son, a druggist, suggested one of your Collins’VoltaioPlastkrs. The effect was almost magical, for, to my grauful surprise, I was almost immediately'well again, and was able to work upon my farm as usual, whereas, before the application of tho Plaster, I could do nothing, and every step gave me pain. A few weeks Bince, one year from the first attack, tho disease returned, but I am happy to say the second Plaster proved as efficacious as the first, and lam now well. My wife wishes me to add that ono Plaster has cured her of a very lame back. We think there is nothing in the world of remedies that can compare with the Collins’ Voltaic Plasters for Rheuma tism and Lame Back, and cheerfully recommend them to the suffering. Yours very respectfully, Okland, Me., June 6,157 C. ROBERT COTTON. NOT A QUACK NOSTRUM.
