We learn that the teachers of this city
have made an arrangement for holding
Teachers Institute or Normal School dur
ing the first or second week of April.
Distinguished teachers and educators from
abroad have been engaged to conduct the
exercises and session of unusual inter-
est is anticipated. We regard this as a
good move, as it is especially designed 10
benefit our Public Schools. In the prog
ress of the age, it has been discovered that
there are other important requisites for
good teaching than thorough acquaint-
ance with the various branches of science.
a thorough comprehension of the sciences
is, OF course, Indispensable, but without
the faculty of communicating knowledge
in such way as to be un ierstood by the
pupil, the teacher must fail in his profess
sion. This proposition is so nearly self
evident rs scarcely to require evidence to
sustain it. The first of these qualifca-
tions every graduate of College or
Seminary may be supposed to possess,
but the ability to teach is not usually
acquired In such institutions; hence the
necessity of Normal Schools, in which
teachers may compare notes, acquire meth
DDS of illustration and learn the expert
ence of those who have been long in the
profession Teaching is an art, and one
in which great Improvements have been
made within the recollection of our faith
ers, many of whom acquired their knOwl-
-
and 'rithmetic, within the humble walls of
an old log school house, where the Irish
schooImaster was monarch of all he sur
veyed; and instead of employing his time
in imparting instruction, by developing
the principles of science, he was content
with the daily routine of doing, logging
bows, aud s'boarding 'roundF' But times
have changed, and the business of "teach-
ing the young idea how to shoot" is be-
ginning to assume a position, equal in dig
nifty and importance with the other profess
sions. We do not mean that it was ever
really less important than now, but that
the labors of the faithful teacher are now
more highly appreciated by the masses of
the people, than at any former time. This
movement on the part of our Public
School teachers, is certainly indicative of
a spirit of Improvement and progress
worthy of commentator. The object of
the Institute, as we understand it, is to &C
quire from those engaged as lecturers, the
most approved methods of teaching school,
and we have no doubt that il the teach
ers put into daily practice, in the school
room, the suggestions made in the Insti-
tutE, that great good will result.

is the enormous amount of the sum raised.

other nations seem small. But it is raised
from property and productions that are
still more colossal, in comparison with the
property and production of other countries
than is the taxation itself SO that, though
heavily taxed, the aggregate considered,
the British people are not harshly taxed

A correspondent Of the Springfield Re
publican, in speaking of Paine's new steam
engine. says sit is designed as a rival of
the Ericsson engine, and if it performs
what is promised, will be a very formida-
Bile rival. can only say that the fame
from single gas burner drove it with
great force and velocity. Mr.. Paine
claims that small engines, for driving
printing presses, &C. can be driven BY
fame of three to FIVE ordinary burners
He proposes to make it, by and by, pro-
ftable and Indispensable to horse railroad
rompanies, and so turn the equine race
out to grass. Like the Ericsson engine.
it consists of single action cylinder, EN-
bracing an air pump; but it has but one
piston and one connecting rod, while the
Ericsson has two pistons and three rods.
at the pump end of the cylinder is IN
apparatus somewhat like the chambers OF
a revolver. The chambers are filled with
disks of wire gauze, which, as they rcTolve,
become charged with moisture by contact
with water in a tank. Each one OF these
chambers is brought before the induct
part of the air pump at each half revoiu-
ton, and the air. passing into the pump,
traverses the interstices of the wet disks,
and becoming charged with moisture, is
driven into the heater, and expanded for
duty in the cylinder end. The use Of
most air instead of dry increases the ex-
pausive force, and gives it great energy
and power"

The Rev, Mr.. spurgeon has been preach
ing in Paris. He gave specimen of his
originality Immediately after the first verse
of the hymn, by observiug-"our singing
is very feeble praise; could we not make it
more earnestY"-which, says Paris let
ter, made manifest addition to the
strength, if not to the number of voices.
Mr.. Sturgeon then preached a sort of pre-
liminary sermon, which occupied not more
than quarter of an hour, and in the
course of which he spoke of the moulting
season of birds, and said that women,
too, have moulting time, when they shed
the tail-feathers of pride and produce the
wiug-feathers ofgrace, "-whichis certainly
singular, if not a strikingly felicitous
metaphor.

Fanny FERNS opinion is thatthere is no
such process as making love. The article
cannot be manufactured. 1t is the spont0-
neous growth of the heart. Or rather it
springs from spiritual seed planted in
warm material soil, and is half passion
flower. and half heavenly exotic. As the
soul survives the body, so the divine es-
sence oflove survivesits passional instinct
This is always the case where the senti-
ment is genuine. But unfortunately spu-
rious love is as common as spurious money
and frequently passes current.

osE Of the divorce cases in Kansas was

OSE of the divorce cases in Kansas was
that of Mr. STROLLER. He had lengthy
and very pitiful plea, in which he repre-
sented that he was married some four years
ago to Miss Rhoda Whitney, the daugh-
ter of Mrs. Gaines, the New Orleans mil
lionaire of law suit notoriety, that they
had lived together in New Orleans, Ken
lucky, and Washington; that Mrs Gaines
soon began to make difficulty between
them, by prejudicing his wife against him,
therefore he blamed the mother more than
the daughter. That his wife gradually
grew cold towards him, and finally refused
to see him, or admit him to their house.
That Mrs. Gaines would frequently entice
the daughter away from him, when he
knew nothing of their whereabouts, and he
would search weeks for them in vain
That his wife and her mother went to
Washington on one of these occasions,
and he followed them, and he followed
them, and his wife refused to see him
This occurred the present winter. Under
these circumstances the Kansas Legislature
has granted him divorce.

TIE Paris correspondent of the Courier
des Eats Unis gives melancholy account
of Garibaldrs last matrimonial experience.
Miss Raimondi, the lady whom he espoused,
is person of worthless character, and
at the time of her nuptials was euciente by
an Italian, who soon after the marriage
communicated anonymously the story OF
her disgrace to Garibaldi. BE, (GaribaldD
it is said, didn't want to marry her, but
she was young and handsome, and his van
ity overcame his judgement; he was, more
over; persuaded by her father. Upon the
receipt of the note exposing the deception
practiced upon him, the patriot left his
bride to hide his chagrin in neighboring
island. At first Garibaldt thought the
note came from inimical Austrians, but
alas! the signature WAS indeed that of an
Italian, and the ''miserabIe'' had told only
the truth.
