The ancient well of Orvieto up whose spi-
raj paths donkeys with water-kegs YEARLY
Ilodoed, presents scarcely more striking con-
rast to our present steam elevators, than do
the methods of modern study compared with
those Of earlier society. The materials OF
study aud its range of topics have changed
the hum IN mind is developed under new con-
ditions, and hence the curriculum of to-day
must necessarily essentially differ from that
OF other days. The natural and physical sci
ences are opening wider and wider field ev-
cry year. Books are inadequate helps in their
study. Newer and more practical implements
are demanded by those who would draw from
the well Of knowledge. The facilities for in
ternational communication and travel are
drawing nations together, and so the study of
language and literature, of history and politi-
cal science, assert claim to a prominent
place in academic culture. No comprehen-
siYe system of education can lightly value the
mathematics, yet no one who listened to Prof
Cruttenden in his recent address at Gorham.
failed to see how detective are many of our
modes OF teaching in this department. Be-
yond and above all these, are the laws OF phys-
ical and moral well being on the observance
of which every thing is founded of perma-
nent value, but which we fear some teachers
now, as in Cowper's tine forget:
"Who feed their puoil's intellect with store
Of >yutax truly. but with little more;
DISMISS their cares when they DISMISS their flock:

The comparative ydiuo-of nenresa,taffva
and elective studies President Eliot of Har-
ward College has well discussed in his inau-
gural last Tuesday. The ancient mode of
forcing all pupils Though one curriculum, has.
he admits, the merit of simplicity, as had the
school methods Of our grandiathers, one prim-
er, one catechism and one rod for all. Modern
education, however, demands special training
in The line OF peculiar capabilities and marked
tastes. The iron bed of Procrustean mi.
formity, will, we trust, ere long be banisbed
from our higher collegiate schools.
What influence the changes now initiated
II our leading Universities have on e,ementa
ry training deserves distinct notice.

A CHOICE BIT OF SCANDAL. FOR WASH

became so completely bewtched thai he es-
corted the lady to public places, and was not
only seen promenading with her on the
streets, but even in her company at the
theatre. The lady. it seems, bears so little
trace of her African orr in that unless yery
closely scanned she would pass for a white:
bence the ease with which she gained adms

heard of the colored gentlemen who SNUG
gled themselves into the National theatre
here few weeks ago and were compelled to
leave Oh being discovered. Well, it turns out
that the trio had another object in that visit
TO the theatre than the one generally assigned.
They went there as much for the purpose of
sporting" the beautiful young colored lady in
the company of her distinguished admIrer as
of testing their right to admission on white
equality. The young lady was there that very
night, and the circumstances became known
to great many respectable white ladies who
were acquainted with the gentleman accom-
panylnS her. The next morning the affair
was IN the mouths of all the gossips, male and
female, and the sensation that resulted was so
unpleasant to the gentleman who constituted
the hero OF the scandal that he fed from this
city TO New York for protection. Altogether
it is about the largest social scandal of the
season.-Wdsh. Cor. N. Y. Herald. .,

An appeal to the Teachers, Of Lincoln
------- County. L -
TEACHERS INSTITUTE,

The first session of the Teachers Institute
for Lincoln County will be commenced on
Monday Nov. 1st, at ten o'clock A. NJ, at
Waldoboro, in Union Hall. s-. .. %. ..s..s
The second session at New Castle, Nov
Sth., at tea o'clock A. NJ, in Union Hall.
Each sessio.i will be continued five DAYS
Female teachers will be furnished with ac-
commodations gratis, and Male teachers on
easy terms. $40
AS this is progressive movement, and in
the right direction, aiming at the intellectual
and moral elevation of our public schools by
afording teachers that kind of assistance and
instruction, the need of which has been SO
long felt and SO much desired, giving them the
benefit of long years of experience, extensive
observation, and the careful thought of the
best educators of our time on the subject OF
teaching; it is earnestly hoped that the teach.
ers of Lincoln County will not fail to avail
themselves of the special opportunity afforded
them by he Institute, to gain information
useful and beneficial to themselves in the
business of their profession.
Teachers of Lincoln: The State has gen.
erously and wisely furnished you the means
of higher attainments in the knowledge OF
your profession. Many of you have solicited
the State Superintendents to give you the
benefit of the provision made by the State by
boiling an Institute in this county. Due
attention has been given to your request, and
with much painstaking, the services of teach
ers eminently adapted to the work of the In
stitute, have been obtained. Allow me. then.
with much earnestness, kindly tc solicit your
constant attendance during the entire session.
1t is an opportunity no teacher can afford to
lose. 1t is in improved work in the school
room, and the better education of her youth
and children, that the State expects to have
refunded the outlay for Institutes. Let her
not be disappointed, nor expect in vain. "Ever
attended teachers institute?" will again be
asked, and your interest in the work of YOUR
profession will be regarded most probably. as
commensurate only with the pains you take
to enhance the value of your services, and in
crease your efficiency in the schoo-room.
Teachers wishing for places will apply to
Augustine Kennedy, Charles Packard or my
self at Waldoboro, and to Charles Weeks.
Austin Hall, or myself at Newcastle. The
arrangements for free board is limited to per-
sons already teachers or who intend TO be-
come such the ensuing year. The public are
cordially invited to be present and witness
the work of the Institute on all convenient
occasions, and especially are they solicited to
be present at the evening lectures and partic-
ipate in the discussions.

OLIVER OPTIC,

This famous writer has just completed the
last volume Of the first part of the young
America" series. 1t is entitled "Down the
Rhine" and, judging by some of the proof
sheets which the author has had the kindness
to show me, I can congratulate the boys and
girls of Maine upon the amount of fun as
well as instruction in store for them. The
book will be ready for delivery in few days.
