SPAIN.
FsOna Paris Papers.


At present, for the information Of our
readers, who are pursuing with much
interest the movements of our army in
Spain, combining ourselves to the state
ments in the official reports, we shall
mention some Of the strong places which
yet remain TO be taken. They are St.
Sebastian, Santona, Ciudad Rodrigo, As
torga, Venasque, Lerida, La SEQ, Ger
vera, Cardona, Monzon, Figuieres, Hos
talrich, Barcelona, Vinaros Pensacola,
Oropesa,- Alicante, Badajoz, Isle de Le-
ON and Cadiz.
The Constitutional Chiefs who are
still fighting for their country, are Nina,
Llobera, Milans. Rotten, Manso, Morillo,
Castel de los Rios, Villa Campo, Lopez
Banos, Zayas, and the guerilla chiefs,
CamPillo, Jaurequi, the Empecinado,
Palarea, &c. sc.
When all these fortresses have sur
rendered, when all these generals and
their troops are conquered, or have sub
mitted, we will inquire whether all is
done in Spain, as the ministerial journals
announced few days ago.

ton has prescribed as a necessary quail
ficatioa for the office. Mr. Adams is
opposed upon the very liberal and ra-
tional ground that he Is the son of his

because one Of bis fayourite Tennessee
papers hoped when elected, he would
play Arbuthnot and Ambristie, with ev-

people feel ticklish about the neck at
the very thought Of him. To Mr.. Clay
it is objected, that he would, if short Of
mosey, play brag for offices instead of
dollars, and perhaps gamble away the
nation with foreign minister. To Mr..
Crawford there are several objections.
In the first place, he even took mans

We have no wish TO enter into controyer-

have we any motive for it. If the friends Of

WORCESTER,
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 81, 1898.

We have this day extracted an account
from the Greenfield Gazette, of the trial of
teacher in that place for the severe punish.
ment Of a child under his care. The trial
resulted as every friend of order and justice,
under such circumstances, would wish it
should, in the acquittal of the teacher. There
are many people amongst us, who never hay-
ing kept their children in subsection them.
selves, are unwilling that they should be sub
Jected to auy greater restraint at school; or if
willing to have them governed there, have an
idea. that schoolmaster can do it by some
kind of magick, without resortng to corporeal
punishment. II is time that such notions
were done away; wherever they prevail,
school is, comparatively speaking, Of little
use. 1t is in vain that school houses are built,
and funds raised, and the best of teachers pro-
vided, if, in the discharge Of their duties, they
are to be controlled by the unsolicited wills
of multitude, more capriCious than ordinary
mobs, because more unripe in years and inn
mature in judgment; or, if they ara to be
punished by law for using the only means Of
coercion which are Of any avail in establish
ing and maintaining their authority.
The task of an Instructor Of Youth, is at
best arduous and difficult; but it is doubly so,
when deprived of the countenance and sup
port Of parents in carrying into effect. .y.s.->
OF intesal police and government, without
which schools are Of little consequence or
value. The independence manifested by the
school district in this case, in not turning
away their Teacher, under the excitement
which would inevitably exist at such time,
is worthy Of praise, and is a proper example
for others TO benefit by. @
We cannot close this. article, without maxi
ing the remark, that bad scholar rarely.

his children in habits Of order and subsection.
provides better for them, than by amassing
wealth at the sacrifice of the proper care and
attention to the formation Of their character
