INFLUENCA OF A NEWSPAPER

A school teacher who has been engaged
long time in bis profession, and witnessed the
influence OF newspaper upon the minds Of
family Of children. writes to the editor Of
the Ogdeusburg Sentinel as follows:
81 have found it to be universal fact with
out exception, that those scholars Of both
sexes and Of all ages, who have had access to
newspapers at home, when compared with
those who have not, are
/. Better readers, excelling in pronuncia-
tion and emphasis, and consequently read
more understandingly.
2. They are better spoilers and define
words with greater ease and accuracy.
3. They obtain practical knowledge of
geography, in almost half the time il requires
others, as the newspaper has made them IA
mlliar with the location Of the important
places, nations their Governments and do
ings on the globe.
4. They are better grammarians, for having
become SO familiar with every style, in the
newspaper, from the comon place advertise
ment to the finished and classic oration of the
statesman, they mora readily prehr nd the
meaning of the text, and consequently anal.
yze its construction With accuracy
.. They write better compositions, using
better language, containing more thoughts,
more clearly aud connectedly expressed.
6. Those young msn who have for years
been readers Of the newspapers, are always
taking the lead in the debating society, exhi
biting more extensive knowledge upon 9
greater variety Of subjects, and expressing
their views with greater tiuency clearness anC
correctness in their use OF language.

A FALLEN GENIus.-The Nashville IVhig
aluding to the fact that the Hon. w. II.
Haskell was recently taken to q Lunatic Asy-
lum at Lexington says -
The career OF this gifted but unfortunate
son ofgenius is a peculiar one and shonld be
universally known for the Impressive lessons
which ii teaches. From bis earliest boyhood
he has shown himself possessed OF the highest
order Of talents. While nt College in this
city he distinguished himself as poet and
orator. His graduating speech is spoken of
to this day hy those who heard it as worthy
OF the immortal Prentiss in his pa!miest days
and probably not surpassed 10y any subsequent
effort Of his own. He has served his country
on the battlehe Id and in the halls of Congress.
1t was his rnsideuce at Washington that cou-
frmed npon him those unfortunate habits
from which have finally blasted his exalted
intellect. True he at one time broke the fiery
serpent from his hands and dashed it the
earth. To make his own reformation COM
plete and aid in lifting up others who had
fallen like himself he went through the State
ltctnrlng on intemperance. The tour was
emineut!y successful and brilliant one his
lectures being fully equal to those of Cough,
whose unearthly eloquence has electrified
thousands in this country aud in England
But his nld habits gained the mastery Of him
again, and bis subsequent life has been but a
strngge between his appetites and his ambi-
tion-a struggle in which it must lie confess
sed, bis appetites have generally trinmphed.
SO great, indeed was his craving for artificial
stimnlanis, that even while delivering his
temperance lectures he made use of drugs,
sufficient ln quantity and potency to burn out
the Vitals Of an ordinary man.

A NEw BAROMETER has been contrived by
Mr.. V. Il. Dillon, of Galveston. The active
power is an ordinary violin string, one end Of
which is attached TO the roof inside of a small
toy house, easily made of cigar boxes the
other end being fixed in the ceutre Of bit
of board, upOn either end Of which is a toy
figure, to the fancy Of the maker. The house
has two doors, so cut that each of the figures
will stand before a door. Thus prepared,
one Of the figures will move outside its door
when the damp atmosphere relaxes the
string, and rice cersa when dry weather
causes the string TO twist tightly. Thus, one
figure outside the door indicates rain, the
other no rain, and most accurately SO.
