The Influence of NEWSPAPERS.

A school teacher, who has been engaged
for long time in his profession, and wit
messed the influence of a newspaper upon
tho minds Of a family Oh children, writes
as follows:
! have found it to be the universal fact
without exception, that those scholars OF
both sexes and Of all ages, who have access
to newspapers at home, when compared to
those who have not, are: -
! Better readers, excellent in pronuncia-
ton. and consequently read more under
standingly. ISL
They are better spoilers, and define
words with ease and accuracy. ~.
They obtain practical knowledge of
geography in almost half the time it re-
quires others, as the newspaper has made
them acquainted with the location of the
important places, nations, their govern
ments and doings on the globe.
They are better grammarians for hav-
ing become so familiar with every variety
of style in the newspaper, from the COM
mon place advertisement to the finished
and classical Grafton of the statesman: the
more readily comprehend the meaning of
the text, and consequently anylize its con-
struction with accuracy. -
They write better compositions, using
better language, containing moro thoughts,
more clearly and more conneetedly ex-
pressed. ~ ........ ......-..-.. ..
3 Those young men who have for years
, been readers ofthe newspapers, are always
taking the lead in thedebating societies, ex-
hlbiting more extensive knowledge upon
greater variety of subjects, and express
ing their views with greater fluency, clear
ness, and correctness in the use of ham
guage. ...

Resolved, That the fourth resolution OF
the Platform adopted by the State Conven-
ton of the 14th of June, is, practically, a
recommendation that the question of the
elective franchise of the colored citizens OF
this State, be submitted to the people in
1858; and we recognize the right Of every
Union elector to vote upon the question, if
then submitted, AZ his judgementand con-
science may dictate, without regard to par

Progress of the Cholera,

The shadow is creeping along the dial,
and the progress of the Great Epidemic is
westward across the face Of Europe, even
as it has traversed Asia. 1t may well
cause grave study, in view of precedents
that show that the ocean is no barrier when
the dread earth sweeping cycle of the pes
thence returns. 1t is finding out it's own
stepping stones, and plants its foremost
foot where dirt, the twin of disease, and
foulness of neglected quarters in human
communities have prepared it's way. In
Alexandria it has swept as with broad
Bosom its thousands Of victims, and the
later accounts are steadily cumulative in
the recorded terrors Of the visitations.-
Says one writer, after noting the appalling
mortality:
at cannot be doubted that such a rapid
spread of the epidemic is to a great extent
due to local causes, and principally to the
state of the dwellings Of the Arab fellahs
which are shared alike by man and beast"
But if it begins in squalid homes, the de-
stroyer does not end its ravages there. II
is but short stride from alley to avenue,
and the lists Of mortality, first swelled by
the lowly, come to enroll victims from
homes of all classes. The great alleviator,
If not the protection, is cleanliness, and the
cities and towns Of our own country may
well take the warning of a visitation
another season may realize. Through the
fall and open months remaining, let them
| carry sanitary reforms and cleanliness as
widely and thoroughly as possible. 1t is a
fact foreshadowed and not to be Disregard
ed, in the view of those best able to fudge
of such premonitions in the light of the
past, that the summer of 1866 will be mem.
orable i'm pathological annals, and that
never will cleanliness and the abatement
of the strewn filth Of the waste places oil
our communities, stand our citizens in
better stead. Chicago cannot, must not
disregard the warning. Better consider
and act upon 1t now, and put in operation
agencies that shall give us possible immu-
nifty, than to meet u similar demand amid
the actual presence Of the destroyer.
The remarks of the Chicago Tribune
above are applicable to US. We must not
disregard the warning.
