A Finished Education,

The California Teacher, monthly edu-
cational journal, contains the following
remaks on popular modern education:
Of all the humbugs of our sham ridden
race, that of a finished education at
boarding school is the greatest. And of
all the ludicrous objects next to dandy
pedant fresh from college, young lady
there are girls-sent home according
to order, is the most supremely ridiculous.
Is the training of such schools calculated
to give mental vigor and Independence of
thought? How many of the girls who
study French and Spanish ever acquire
more than mere smattering? Nine out
of ten never wade half through Glen.
dorff's First Lessons" If a young girl
is to have the advantages of liberal
education, and expects to pursue regu.
lar course of study, let her study the
languages but if she can attend school
only limited period of time, it is more
than useless. A girl, too, must be fitted
with an education as the miIliner fits her
with dress. Education is a growth
a development 1t does not consist in
long array of studies, in "gong over" so
many pages in botany, astronomy, and
"dear, delightful French" True, many
parents Judge of the progress Of their
daughters only in this say. No wonder
they have become dissatisfied with the
plain schools of less pretentions. Mental
growth and strength of mind cannot be
measured by the volume. Young girls,
who are on the point of finishing your
education, exercise your common sense.
Which would you prefer, to be able to
write a correct and elegant letter in Eng
lish to your future husband. or tc favor
him with an exquisite little French billet
doux? Would you have the power oil
educating your children in common things,
or would you prefer to teach them paint
ing? Do you imagine that your "fn.
ished education" will be of much service
to you in real life? If you think to
dazzle young men with boarding school
accomplishments, most certainly you are
Iaboring under an egregious error. Think
you that man with his eyes wide open
will mistake a peacock for a nightingale?
You may he Aattered by society, but
those whose esteem and love you would
really wish to win, will never be deceived
by the flimsy veil of accomplishments.
Girls be sensible. Don't imagine that
you can be turned out finished scholars
at the advanced age even of Is or l6
If you wish to be women, acquire the
education of a woman. If you wish to
become bellies and and butterflies, make
use of the quack nostrums Of education
which are paraded rightly in the same

think Of finishing your education before
you begin it.

Il Curious Case of Suspended Anima-
ton,

The Detroit Tr;5aae gives currency to
the following singular case:
A week or two ago the wife of very
respectable mechanic residing on Twelfth
street, in this city, died after u short ill.,
ness, and the usual arrangements were
made for the funeral services. One of
the city undertakers, at the request of
The husband, provided u very handsome
coffin for the deceased, into which the
Iifeless remains were placed, and they
were permitted to remain in room. Du.
ring the ensuing nighr, however, one of
the watchers, whQ bad heard and read of
reports of cases Of suspended animation,
and being imbucd with Curiosity in the
premises, decided to ascertain for herself
whether there was any probability Of
truth in such reports. A favorable op-
portunity presented itself for the fulfill.
ment Of her schemes. and having satisfied
herself that she was rcall y alone with the
corpse, she obtained a. small looking glass
and laid it upon the face of the deceased
To her great surprise there appeared cvi.
dences Of breathings upon the face of the
glass, aid sAp resolved, for fear Of decep-
tim, to make another test with another
glass. The operation being repeated,
The same signs where manifested, and she
revealed her discoveries to the other
watchers. Each in turn tried the glass,
and each had The satisfaction of observing
precisely what the first did. Of course
in the morning the whole affair was dis.
cussed with the family of the deceased,
and it then occurred that long time
ago young man, a member of the wo.
mans family, had died, and previous to
the burial the corpse had actually rolled
over upon one side, showed signs of life,
aud the case was declared to have been
one of suspended animation by the best
medical testimony THAT copld be procured.
Under all these circumstances it was by
the husband deemed advisable to defer
.he funeral ceremonies, and accordingly
notice was given that the interment would
not take place at the time previously an.
The corpse was left in the
,ofIin several days, and upon the fifth day,
lfter the supposed death, signs of life
we're so numerous that the body was re.
moved to bed, where it gradually be.

their existence is void. Better submit,
then, to household tasks, however repug.

The ensuing day the woman opened her

in fair way Of recovery. Three well

are promised their written opinions con.

that the quotations of Memphis

when we ask the farmer why he

our neighboring city have used
this argument very successfully,
but we hope the planters will test
the matter for themselves. The
cotton of Tennessee sells as we'll

Important to Voters in

Important to Voters In
/. Lincoln county.
A. q. Russell, the late Commits
sioner Of Registration in this coun-
ty, having been deposed by Brown
low and his acts declared null and
void, we are left without any au-
thorised person under the franchise
law, so-called, to hold the election.
But happily the franchise acts of
1867 are not the only acts or
all the law we have governing
elections. The provisions of the
Code, which we copy below, are
not repealed, but stand as law and
a rule for our action in the present
condition of affairs so decided
by the Supreme Court, and report
ed in 4th Coldwelps reports. We
therefore call the especial atten.
ton of Justices of the Peace and
others to these sections of the
Code, and urge by all considera-
tons of truth and patriotism to
act accordingly. If we will do
our duty, we can carry the county
for Seymour and Blair with the
Cary certificates, and thus thwart
the scoundrelism of Brownlow's
Radical despotism:
] S4l. The County Court, at the
session next preceding the day
Of election, shall appoint three in.
spectors or judges for each voting
place to superintend the election.
842. If the County Court fail
to make the appointment, or any
person appointed refuse TO serve,
the sheriff, with the advice of three
justices, or, if none be present,
three respectable freeholders, shall,
before the beginning of the cleo
ton, appoint said Inspectors or
judges.
S43. If the sheriff, or other Off
Ger whose duty it is to attend
at a particular place of voting
under the foregoing provisions,
fail to attend, any justice of the
peace present, or, if no justice of
the peace be present, any three
freeholders may perform the du.
ties prescribed by the preceding
sections, or in case OF necessity
may act as officers or inspectors.
We would advise that the oath
prescribed by the franchise Law
be administered to the Judges and
Clerks Of the election. We here
copy it:
81 do solemnly swear that
have never voluntarily borne arms
against the Government of the
United States for the purpose, Oh
with the intention of aiding the
late rebellion, nor have / with any
such intention at any time, given
aid, comfort, counsel, or encourage
ment to said rebellion, or to any
act Of hostility to the Government
of the United States. l further
swear that l have never sought OF
accepted any Office, either civil OF
military, under the authority OF
pretended authority, of the social.
ed Confederate States of America,
or of any insurrectionary State
hostile or opposed to the authority
of the United States Government,
with the intent and desire to aid
said rebellion; and that / have
never given a voluntary support
to any such Government or au.
thority. So help me God"
