Explanations in Arithmetics
1t is a matter of surprise that
many Of our teachers, and some of
high standing, place little or no stress,
in their practice, on explanations in
Arithmetic. Pupils are allowed to
"work sums according to rule, or
in any other way to arrive at the an
swer, but as to picking the work in
pieces, telling the aohy and aohere-
fore, explaining methods of work
ing, or making anything else than
getting the answer, an end or aim
that is apparently a thing unthought
Of. Strange, indeed, tits, that in an
era Of educational progress, Like the
present, any teacher should be found
and especially in Kenosha county, to
ignore matter of such vital concern
as this. a4" a So
There are other and equally inn
portant objects to be attained in the
study Of arithmetic, than simply get
ting the answer Of the book. This
we affirm, without fear of contradict
ton. There isDno branch taught in
our common schools, in which each
step of advance is SO closely depend
ent on the preceding, and in which
each process is SO clearly and logical
ly demonstrable. AS few objects
to be accomplished by the study of
arithmetic, and therefore reasons why
explanations are not only valuable
but necessary, we may mention the
following
1st, It develops the reasoning fac
hlties. Since the common branches
are so few which bear directly on this
object, this, which aims at it imme-
diately, should be made prominent in
this one respect, and it can only be
made SO by a thorough and rigid
course of explanation. If teachers
were in less haste to adyance their
pupils in the more difficult and intri-
cate principles, and more thorough
in less work, to begin with, their a f.
ter progress would more than com
pensate for the time spent at the be-
ginning.
I'd, Such explanations cultivate
the expressive faculties. Command
OF language would be developed to a
high degree, in the pupils mind, by
a course of this character. The great
value of this is too evident to need
further demonstration. It com.
, mends itself to the mind at once.
3rd, Perhaps more than anything
else, it fres the idea and the reason
why in the mind. The simple fac
directing, expressing orally, exertl
reflex influence in deepening anc
strengthening the impression. a
pupil cannot be said to understand
an example or proposition as h,
ought, until he can express some in
telligible reason why. AS in menta
arithmetic, no one would think O
emitting the verbal solution-as TIL
general practice-so in written arith
metic, which is but mental arithme
tic on an enlarged scale, such solu
ton should be required, at least t
all examples performed on the board
But explanations would not onl,
bring about these and other ends c
a like character, but, properly direct
ed, would 'add great interest to til
study, and discipline the attention t

Common Sense

Rules the mass of the people, whatever the mis-
named and misanthropic philosophers may say
TO the contrary. Show them good thing, let
its merits DO clearly demonstrated, and they
will not hesitate to give it their most cordial
patronage. The masses have already ratified
the Judgment of physician concerning the vir.

seen in the immense quantities Of this medicine
that are annually sold in every section of the
land. 1t is now recognized as greatly superior
to all other remedies yet devised for diseases OF
the digestive organs, such rs diarrhDa, dysea-
terry, dyspepsia, and for the various fevers that
arse from arrangement of those portions OF the
system. Hostetter'S name is rapidly becoming
a household word from Maine to Texas, tiom
the shores of the Atlantic to the Pacific. These
celebrated STOMACH BIrTERS have DOUBT

A Sea IISuster.

From the Savannah, Ca, Republican, 2Oth.l
We learn that Captain Perry, of the
Lighthouse schooner, who has charge
of the buOys in this district, discovered
on the 5th inst, off St. SimouS, what be
supposed to be dead sea monster, float
ing on the surface of the water. He
says that the portion above the water
was some twenty five feet in length,
and five or six feet in height. He
estimated the length of the head TO
be twelve feet. The upper jaw was
thrown back, presenting mouth
OF extraordinary dimensions. How many
teet of the body was concealed beneath
the surface of the waves the captain
could not pretend to form an stimate.
Au lIs BACK were three or four grooves
running the entire length of that part
OF the BODY which was visible The
captain says that he saw the same mon.
ster again off Cumberland Sonnd and
that the lighthouse keeper M Cnn,tar

fOated in and ont on three or forr 80
and that he had pulled for :, La

that it was not dead, and theref,. .

1t is further alleged that distinguish

fered a reward of one thousand dollar
for the head of the monster, aud tina
Captain Perry, with his vessel, is no,
in active pursuit, aud expects to be adj
to claim the reward in the course of
few days. If he should succeed be Wi

CIImnx of Horrors.

The Galveston CiriliaR of the 18th

can the following horrible narrative: i,
A youpp man by the name of Colonel
Green, who is said TO have been
new settler in this country, left Hender-
son on Saturday evening last, III state
of intoxicatioD for home. When Ne GOT
about seven miles from home, on the
Marshall road, he stopped at WIDOW
Gri1ith's place, where body of negroes
were making crop, and ordered his sup
per. While eating it, he was seized by
five negroes, who tied his hands behind
him, dragged him about half a mile, and
hung him. They treated him very bru-
tally, throwing him over fences as they
reached them, bruising his face, and
otherwise maltreated him. While he
was hanging, they rolled bac k log, dug
a trench, and threw him in it before life
was extinct, and then rolled the log back
TO its former place.
Two of the negroes were preachers.
The principal one engaged in the muir

Green is represented as refined, In

who occasionally, unfortunately, got In

seems, found his horse at this plantation
and his hat at one of the cabins. On
searching for him they traced his foot
steps upon the route he had been car

dropped out of his pocket.
Five negroes were arrested, who con-
fessed the crime and were taken to

German Count.
BERLIN, April PA German paper,
the Frei STATE, says that the marriage OF
Mrs. Lincoln, the widow of the late
President Lincoln, with Count Schmidt
we'll, grand chamberlain of the Duke OF
Baden, is spoken OF in high circles.
We trust that Count Schmidernlzzle
is we'll to do in the way of stamps, or
his wardrobe may be found at junk
shop some day. The Government OF
Prussia should also Isok to this, and see
that Mrs. Swingergingle has yearly
allowance commensurate with her stand
ing and the standing of Count Swing
ershingle, the successor of President
Lincoln; and it might be well for those
Prussians who apply to the Conut for
oflice-livery- men, cooks, laundresses,
etc.-to have notice that a Persian
shawl, pair of ear rings, and box of
diamonds, with seventy or eighty skirts,
shirts and boddices, sent little i'll ad-
vance, would be sure TO secure favorable
attention. We should all be delighted
if the Grand Chamberlain of the Duke
of Bolton Notch concludes to make a
Wedding trip to the United States. This
country is in need of d Grand Chamber

The PnbIic RuiIdinrs.

TIE meeting of the Commissioners of Public
Buildings, held yesterday, indicates that they
are about to proceed Immediately TO the prac-
tical business of their appointment. A reso-
luton providing for Committees on Hall, Ar
chiteotural Plans, Contracts, Buildings, Law
aud Audits was agreed to, and it was further
wisely ordered that the committees should hold
during the five years of the Commission, and
not be reappointed annually. 1t requires but
little knowledge of the workings of any de-
Lucrative body to show the wisdom of this
decision. The various gentlemen now ap-
pointed will have gained at the end of the
year an acquaintance with their particular de-
partments ofthe task of the Commission. To
change them then, and put one thoroughly
acquainted with the required law ON a commit
tee on bridges, about which he knew nothing,
would be blunder OF the worst kind. The
Commission has delicate and difficult task
before it, and we hope it will devote all time
and attention to its fulflment.
