However desirable it should be that the
urine b" run off quick Y, there must not
be to" much slope to the 1}our of the
stall, for two evils arise ,hcrcfrom
n'st' the horses when stan'lin: arc
thrown too much ON their hind quar-
tcrs. thereby giving the hind logs more
than their due proportion of weight to
bear; and secondly. the position alluded
t" always keeps the back tcudons ON
the stretch. which is a most unfav-
orable position for tired animal

authorities on veterinary science states
that zoo much drcivity in the stall
tends to cause various diseases Of the

Presidents Message.

We content ourself by giving a
synopsis Of this document, not hav-
ing space to print it in full. Its first
sentence is congratulatory, on account of
the success which has attended the cx-
ccution of the laws of the land. The
policy has been not to enquire into the
wisdom of laws, but to learn their spc-
cial intent and then to enforce them.
THE ALABAMA CLAIMS TREATY.
Our relations with foreign powers are
friendly. We are likely to settle by
arbitration, disputes OF long standing,
aud thus furnish an example to the
world which will be followed by all civ
ilized'nations, thus turning back into the
ranks Of industry millions Of men who
are now kept in military array for the
settlement of disputes by the bayonct
and the broadsword.
A treaty his already been made with
Great Britain, by which all differences
between that country and the United
States are to be adjusted by a peaceful
tribunal, to be specially established for
that purpose. 1t is expected, also, that
the pr;n iplcs of international law for
which this government has always con-
tended will be brought to the notice of
other powers. and be adopted as of uni.
versal application.
1t is hoped that the Fl: hery question
will be definately adjusted, and all the
relations between the United states and
England made amicable and satisfactory.
An appropriation for the purpose Of
locating the northwest boundary be-
tween the United States and British
North America is recommended
FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Germany manitests friendly feeling
towards US, and desires to harmonize
with the policy which We maintain TO-
wards the Asiatic powers and the South
American Republics.
This government has recognized the
annexation of the States of the Church
to the Kingdom Of Italy, and the re-
nloval of the capital of the Kingdom
to Rome.
The ratfcations of the new treaty of
commerce bctw en- the Cnited States
and Italy haze been exchanged. 1t is
stipulated in the treaty that in case of
war between the two governments,
property at sea shall be exempt from
capture.
1t is thought that permanent peace
will result from negotiations between
the Plenipotcntiary Of Spain and the
South American Republics.
The intimate friendly relations be-
tween the United States and Russia
continue undisturbcd With Japan
we continue to be friendly.
The hope is expressed that Mexico
will preserve her frontiers bordering
upon us from the lawlcssness which
at present exists there
We arc on good terms with the Re-
publcs Of South America, except one
Venzucla has made no efforts to meet
the obligations imposed by the extra
d!tion treaty.
The ratification Of an extradition
treaty with Nicaragua has been cx-
changed.
Brazil has taken steps towards the
abolition of slavery, which will pat her
moro nearly in harmony with the Amer
ican theory Of free government.
Spain has not adhered to its promi-
ses in the matter Of slavery, which still
exist in Cuba, and in Porto Rico, the

pupil shoa]d be exercised mu:h in dc-
tininS the terms he uses, and in inter-
prcting the meaning Of sentences. In
ParSi"g. the thing or things should
always be clearly made out. III Arith-
metical problems, there should FIRST
DO separation into conlitions> and
questions. The several steps in the
solution Of the problem should be noted
and described, and the simple questions
which arise in the solution of CON-
pound question, should be stated, and
answered separately. In Geography,
those parts OF the description CT one
State which apply, also, to others,
should be pointed out, and in Grammar
and Arithmetic, what are alike in rules
and operations should be noticed. The
pupil ought frequently to be required
to recite without questions being asked,
as this requires him to collect in proper
order what he knows relating to several
aspects Of a case.

THE POWER OF EXPRESSION, ESPECIAL
LY OF PUBLIC SPEAKING. The pupil
should be required to make complete
and exact statements in good English.

lie claims, and receives, more fully tho
attention Of the class.
9th, AS A MEANS OF CULTIvATlNG
THE POWER OF ATTENTIo::'. The re-
citcr should have the encouragement
which an attentive audience givcs.-~
The class should have the advantage
derived from attending to what is said.
The power to attend to what is said is
a most cxccllcn: and Divine gift, worthy
to be carefully, perscverir ely, and con
sciencious'y cultivated How few can
80 attend to the sermon, the lecture.
or the speech, as to carry away with
them, all that is valuable Of what they
hear? How many of the sturers, whis-
perers, and more boisterous disturbers
of public meetings are such, because
they have not the power to attend to
what is said?
The teacher is a critic, and modcra
tor in tho recitation As a critic, hc is
to eliminate error with unsraring Sc
verify. No wrong statement, or word,
or emphasis is to 60 unchallcngcd, but
he should spare the feelings of the pupil
as far as he can. AS a moderator, he
must preserve order, but, let him not
suppose that every exhibition Of mirth,
or of individual character, is a violation
Of order. The teacher should have
wisdom, as we'll as authority.
1t is, finally, a law of human nature,
that it must be educated by failures
and repctitions; a law which is no less
imperative in the school room, than in
the general economy of the world.

THE ALDINE, while issued with ali regu-
| larity, has none OF the temporary or timely
interest characteristic Of ordinary periodicals.
1t is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and
graceful literature, and collection Of pictures,
the rarcst specimens of artistic skill, in black
and white Although each succeeding num-
bcr affords 4 fresh pleasure to its friends, the
| real valuc and beauty of THE AiDlNE will
be most Appreciated after it has been bound
up at the close Of the year. While 9th cr pub
icati"ns may claim superior chcapncss as com
pared with rivals of n similar class, THE
ALDINE is a unique and original conception
alone and pproachcd-absolutclr with
out competition in price or char acter. The
posscssor of tho volume jast completed cannot
duplicate the quantity Of fine paper and
engravings in any other shape or number tf
volumes for ten 'in'cs lis cnst.
The labor'of getting THE ALD1NE on the
press is SO great that rcpri"ti"y is out Of the
question. With the exception of a small num-
Der specially reserved for binding. the edition
Of 1871, is already exhausted, and it is now a
scarce as we'll MS valuable book.
