That "OLD DOMINION COFFEE Por," is
made ona good principle. With care in fol-
lowing the directions and they are very sim
pie, only two things are necessary to make
first-rate coffee with it. In the first place
the coffee berry must be Of good quality and
clean A poor coffee berry, every fifth one
also being black or half decayed one, and
the whole dirty, can no more make fine ia
vored coffee for drinking in an Old Dominion
Coffee Pot than in any other. In the next
place, the coffee must be perfectly roasted,
not half or all burnt black as coal, and left
with no more life in it than there is in tan
bark taken out of the watts in the spring
These two conditions being fulfilled, with the
use of the "Old Dominion" to have fine fla
vored and clear coffee is just no trouble at
all. C. b. DOW keeps the article.

Ihis is the chief defect in our District Schools
The higher branches crowd the primary on. of
their proper place, and, there is no lower grade
to which they can resort, they are totally neglect
ed or at least hastily and imperfectly passed over
Hence We may readily account for the imperrect
knowledge of Reading, Spelling, Geography and
other primary studies, so prevalent everywhere.
Persons 90 from the District School without having
learned these things, and they never have another
opportunity.
Nor can good Teacher wholly remedy the evils
arising from this state of things The school-house
may be as healthful and attractive as YOU please
there may be perfect uniformity of text -books-to
these may be added model Teacher; and if the
higher branches of study are permitted to enter
the school, it will still fall far short of a GOOD
School. \ g,od Teachey-one who has correct
notion of what School ought to be, cannot bring
School up to his own standard of perfection SO
long he is harrassed and driven at the top of his
speed, from morning till night, to complete the
almost endless routine of classes. lie may keep
good school in the usual acceptation of that term
i believe we have many such schools even where
this evil Isl quite promnent,-but ncusr, until the
system be essentially reformed in this respect, can
good teachers labor freely towards their own ideal
standard of a model School.
The College, also, suffers materially from this
deranged condition of the lower grades of Schools.
Though in itself we'll systematlzed and nearly free
from the evils already enumerated, still being de-
pendent is on the lower grades for accessions

cd IN applying its system to those who come from
the other grades. Mp.

But then the Post hopes the Bishops
will reconsider the matter And
why? Because there are no "bloom-
ing gardens" at Sowanee !--because
Sewanee is not so healthy as some
cullen would be land because Sc
vance is inaccessible u! Well, the
Bishops, most of them, we suppose,
have been up to Sewanee. They have
not found it inaccessible, and although
no blooming gardens" were there,
they found it superior to the other
places in view, and have made loca-
ton that we think will remain their
choice, Independent Of all outside sug-
gestions. And when the University
is built, and the students become tired
Of books, of hunting, Of blooming"
fields of grain and meadows in the
distance, and the indescribable scene
ry around, then we suggest that q
"blooming garden" be laid out in their
midst, at which they may occasionally
have a glimpse, in order that they may
not become too strongly ascetic in their
notions

PGABoDY CoRN.--We copy from the
Columbus (Miss.) times the following
notice OF this corn. which is advertised
in another column by DR.. S. W. Hongh-
ton. who is agent at Winchester for
the sale Of it:
The PEABODY CoRN.--We were
shown yesterday, by mine host Of the
Phoenix Hotel, Games Jones, ESQ.,
several stalks of this fine variety OF
corn. 1t greatly excelIed any other
variety that we have SEMINARY OF
the stalks bearing six good sized ears.
We think it will generally average
from three to five ears to the stalk.
Mr.. Jones is so we'll pleased with it,
that he intends to plant his whole crop
next year with this variety Of corn.
We have no doubt but that it will
readily yield one hundred and twenty
five bushels to the acre.

ance. Our fair readersin Winchester and
elsewhere will appreciate the value Of
the following suggestions from lady, who
is an fat on the subject:
1--WE believe in hoops. Mind, we say
hoops, plural number. Deliver US from
that abomniable, single, hogshead hoop,
which many ladies wear about knee high,
showing its entire shape through film
sey skirt, dragging down by its weight the
dress to the shape Of a cone, while the
palt of the skirt below the hoops flaps,
winds and reels around it in every wind
that blows. Not much Improvement is
the addition Of one or two other hoops,
unless they are graduated in size, accor.
ding to the height Of the wearer, and
covered by skirts OF sufficient thickness
to hide the skeleton, than which nothing
could be more hdcous, unless it were a
veritabIe skeleton from the graveyard.
The only skirt that looks uniformly
graceful is that made of series OF rat.
tan, whalebone or brass hoops, extend
ing from the waist 10 the feet, gradually
increasing in size with that graceful swell
that gives to the dress the airy contour Of
blue bell preserving the golden mien
in regard TO circumference that modesty
and good taste will ever dictate. The
hoops in this skirt should be so near TO.
gcther that they will loose their indivld,
uaity, and "make no sign underneath
the thinnest summer dress; for herein lies
the advantage and whole philosophy Of
the hoop movement, inasmuch as ii allows
one skirt to give. that (ullness and grace
which has hitherto been attainable only
by half dozen.
After all, the genuine crnoline is the
thing, which, as its name imports, is
kind Of hair cloth, which, by its own in
nate virtue, without the aid Of hoops will!
preserve its elasticity and inflated charac-
ter without the awkwardness that at times
is inscpcrable from its humble imtalor.
The pense is the only objection to its
general adoption, which, for the ladies'
sake, we hope may be soon removed

SERMON BY A LAwYER.-Upon Sun
day morning a full congregation OF
persons listened to a sermon at the
Christian Church, by Judge Perrin, a
practcing lawyer of Covington, and
formerly Judge Of the County Court.
A notice had been given in the En-
quirer, which took the Judge by sur
prise, as he had not made up his mind
to oiliciate that morning in the absence
of the regular pastor, and. when the
hour for service came on, he attempt
ed to excuse himself; but upon an
old sister" of the church rising and
saying that she had come especially
to hear Brother Perrin" he mounted
the pulpit, took a text, and proceeded.
As it was, he was in good mood for
speaking, and preached with such an
effect as to draw tears from some OF
his brother lawyers eyes, and induce
four persons to join the church. He
will possibly preach again next Sun
day.--Cn. Gaz.
Wonder if some one of our lawyers
might not be prevailed on to forget the
law for a few moments, and give US a
sermon. We know of one who would
" draw tears OF joy from most any
person.
