TIE WORK or TIE PEOPLE.

Northern papers which sympathize
with the rebellion, are full of spccu-
lations about the recent annihilating
defeat of the Obstructionist party in
Ohio and other States.
Opinions are numerous and di-
verse; yet the true reason is quite
clear. The people, or the great mass
OF them, are loyal, while the Obstruc-
ZIONIST party manifested no hearty
devotion to the cause of our coun-
try, no interest in its success.
Their policy had single feature,
4 single purpose, that of obstructing
the work of putting down the rebel
lion, of weakening the Government,
and rendering the nation powerless
before its enemies. Their standard
bearer in Ohio was n traitor. The
utterances of the leading men of the
party and of its journals were full of
treason. The people are in earnest;
with them loyalty and patriotism
mean something; and on the 18th of
October they buried in one deep
grave the hopes of Northern sympa-
thizers with the rebellion, and of
Southern traitors who have depend
ed for success on divisions among
the people of the loyal States.
The defeat of this wing of the reb-
ell forces is signal and hopeless. The
victory of the great Democratic
Party, the People, is thorou oh and
glorious.
The Obstructionist Party is par
ty of disappointed place hunters, a
party of politicians and not of the
people. 1t is not, and never can be,
vitality related to the spirit and move
ments of our time.

EDUCATION AZ.

Mn. EDIroR:-As your valuable
paper is devoted in part 10 the ed
ucationsl interests OF the comnu-
nifty, allow ne to call the attention
O. It's readers to few points Of prac-
teal importance connected with Our
schools. There are many little
things that ret.rd our schools, and
lessen the amount OF coed they
might accomplish.
1t should he the work Of eve~y
one, who feels an interest in the
cause of ed cation, especially pa
rents, to discover and remove those
hindranceS. One Of the great checks
to thorough instruction In our
schools, is the almost universal hab-
it OF allowing pupils he privilege
of choosing their own course OF
study. So great is the desire
among almost all classes Of scholars
to pass over long list of branches
that the primary branches, which
constitute the foundation OF a thor
oush and prarii,a a! education, re-
ceive bat little attention. In this
way the thorough dis ipllne OF the
mind which should lie the great OBJ
ice. of education, i lost. it is to
be regretted that so lew parents
manifest any interest in under
standing and correcting these
faults of our schools, which must
necessarily affect their future
usefulness. and prosperity. Too
many parents are willing to al
low their children TO choose the
branches they pursue, even IN oppo-
sItlon to the course prescribed by
the teacher, forgetting that he has
the best opportunity, daily, to faith
ON the pupils attainmenrs and to
understand his deficiencies. THIS
course is an invasion Of the teach
er's rights, and no parent should
place his hid under the care of a
teacher of whose ability he has
any doubts.
Teachers might do much to cure
this iault. 1t is too frequently the
case that the teacher yields the right
to direct, by asking his pupils what
they wish to study. This is wrong
He should be sure that he is
right; then establish a course of in
structIon and adhere 10 it, strictly.
The correction of this evil will
depend In a great degree upon the
judiclous exer;ions OF the teachers
Let us, as teachers, endeavor to un
derstand the true meaning Of the
term, Education, and never attempt
TO exhibit a snowy uperStructure,
unless it be- based upon a iounda
ton as firm a. rock.
Bv a careful search after, and a
faithful discharge of duty we shall
gain the gratitude OF our pupils,
their parents and friends; thus &C
comprising much good. j. c.

WRITING NEWSPAPER ARTICLES

This is 4 distinct and difficult art
Its principles must be studied by
those who would succeed in it. 4
disregard Of its principles is the
cause of the prosiness that charac-
terizes so much of our newspaper
literature The newspaper is not a
thing to be studied; scarcely one to
be read. 1t is to be glanced over.
The articles, then, must be so writ
ten as to command and hold atten-
ton. Processes of thought are to
be shut out; results only are to APP
pear. Argument is to be suggested
rather than stated. Usually one
point is enough for an article. Some
single nail should be struck firmly
on the head and then left at once
Introductions are q nuisance Infer
ences are always skipped. The sen
fences should be short. Every wore
should leap with life. Condensation
should be extreme. Subordinat,
thoughts should be thrown away
The object is not to treat subjec'
in full but to produce certain effect
/ All that is not necessary to the eff
/ feet should be discarded. He VIII,
has the nerve to do this, with q sou
that fires at a great thought, and tn
manliness to utter it freely, may wiclG
a power with the pen that no sccp
ter can rival.
The tendencies in professional life
are to deterioration of style. The
didacticism of the pulpit often dc
generates into diifuseness. The re
iteration of points at the bar and Tx
/, precision of legal style tend to pro
duce dryncss and REPETITION. In NJ
way can the professional man more
cfIectually make his words instinc
with lie and power than by weekly
practice in the columns of news
paper.
