MODE OF PREPARATIoN--Buch in

placement with spirits obtained from Juniper
Berries very little sugar is used, and a small
proportion of spirits. 1t is more palatable
than any now in use.
Buchu, as prepared by Druggists, is of a
dark color. 1t is plant that emits its fra

its active principle, leaving dark and gluti-

not to be Tincture, as made in Pharmaco-

SCHOOL tax.

The County has tried to carry on hel
schools one year without leyy;ng a tax tc
support them. The result is a failure az
was anticipated. As the year is drawing
to a close it is highly important that
something be done to encourage educa-
ton among our own people.
The County Court at its next sitting
ought to levy a small tax. There was a
great cry raised about the defects of the
State System, because it was so far re-
moved from the people. Now under the
County System, we have the whole thing
in our own hands. How quietly the enc
mics of the State System or any system,
sit at ease when great peril surrounds the
school interest of the entire tate.
Our County Court must levy a tax. or
quietly abolish what little vestige there is
of common schools in the county. If the
court desires to oppose education. let it
repeat its action of last year when it, in eff
feet, refused to lend any aid whatever to
the schools. 1t is true that the court did
not actually oppose education, but rcfus-
ing aid mounts to the same thing in the
end.

good family, proud, noble. but lowered
in her own estimation by the necessity OF
teaching. She condescends to give the
public schools the favor of her presence in
their halls and corridors; she gives them
that-and nothing more.
Miss L tells truth in p~arenthesis. She
says before her pupils: '.Mr. Principal,
my scholars behave admirably (Pd break
their necks if they didn't) !; our attend
anee is perfect to-day Il did it all by
scolding) ; they are very good children in
need (the naughty little rascals)."
Mr.. M is polite; be tells his teachers
they may turn to the right if they will
take all responsibility upon themselves.
Miss V dear and darlings her pupils:
she melts over them like pitch from the
ears with which English officials crowned
Irish croppies in the year '9S; and, like
the self same pitch, she is apt to be rather
blistering to those whom she fails to rel
ish.
Miss w is a queen of tragedy. Her
commands are the orders of a Fenian drill
master. With her attention is at-ten -tion |!
She leaves herself at the school-room door,
and struts an actress on the platform
stage. Well may she sing in her n,elo-
dramatic way:
..I'm not myself at ALL says
1.-The bould sojer boy.'
Messrs. X. Y. and q, are unknown guam
titles; for they are not teachers, but a
mixture of educator and education.

About Words.

1t has been calculated that our language,
including the nomenclature of the arts
and sciences, contains 10O, 900 words 4: yet
of this immense number, it is surprising
how few are in common use. To the
great majority, even OK educated men.
three-fourths of these words are almost as
unfamiliar as Greek or Choctaw. Strike
from the lexicon all the words nearly OBJ
sOlete-all the words of special arts or
professIons-all the words confined in
their usage to particular localities-all
the words which even the educated speaker
uses only in homeopathic doses-and it
is astonishing into what a Lilliputian
volume your Br~obdingnagian Webster or
Worcester will have shrunk. 1t has been
calculated that a child uses only about one
hundred words and, unless he belongs to
the educated classes, he will never employ
more than three or four hundred. A dis
tingui he'd American scholar estimates
llldI lc" EpCdhclS III nIliCIS uSC d5 Ill
as ten thousand words; ordinary persons,
of fair intelligence, not over three or four
thousand. Even the great orator who is
able to bring into the field, in the war of
words, half the vast array of light and
heavy troops which the vocabulary affords,
yet contents himself with n far less impos-
ing display Of verbal force. Even the all
knowing Milton, whose wealth of words
seems amazing, and whom DIR. Johnson
charges with using "a Babylonish dialect"
uses only 5000 and Shakespeare himself,
.'the myriadminded," only $1,000. These
facts show that the difficulty of mastering
the vocabulary of a new tongue is greatly
overrated and they show, too, how absurd
is the boast of every new dictionary-naker
hat his vocabulary contains SO many
thousand words more than those of his
prede~cessors.-THc LuLeside MOntily.

pot in Sullivan County, were arrested

Mr.. Giles, Almany moved into the house
With them. The husband being blind
and very in6rm and wanted to prevent it.
Some time afterward Giles died very
suddenly under circumstances which ex-
cited suspicion of poisoning. A post

SchoeI superintendenCe

Many good people think that when they
have secured a school house or room, go:
some desks into it, aud emplyed a teacher
they have done all that is required, and
that thenceforth their public school sys-
TEN" ought to run itself.
Like other machines, however, schools
are not self-prop2lsory. Every tick o.
the pendulum marks the nearer approach
to the moment when the clock will run
down. You must wind it up again daily
or weekly as the case may be. You must
constantly renew the driving power, or
might as we'll nave no clock. Friction
sometimes stops machines. You must
watch them carefully. and keep all bear
ings we'll fabricated if you want them to
go along. We once saw a grist mill in
Virginia run by water, that kept going
day aud night as long as there was any
water to turn n wheel. 1t took no atten-
ton. Enough water stopped over to keep
the journals from heating. and unless a
thirsty drove of COWS got into the field
above, it ran on perpetually. 1t was the
poorest mill we over saw. Corn ran
through it about as fast as you could count
the grains and drop them into the hopper.
1t looked like a mill, and technically it
was a mill, but for all the purposes of a
.
Just SO it is with hundreds of schools.
Externally they resemble schools. There
are teachers in them, and books and pu-
pills. There is a machine, and raw mate
rial, but no engineer, no one competentto
drive work, and so the school is inefici-
ent. Those who can afford it send their
children abroad, and it is filed by those
who are Indifferent OH the subject, or tee
poor to secure anything better. Private
schools spring up, aud in contrast with
them the public schools SO ineficiently
conducted show to disadvantage, and many
who might have favored them become
their opposers.
The remedy for this is sup~erintendence
|-diligent, faithful, intelligent superin-
tendence. To see that the teachers are up
to the work, to advise and assist in school
discipline, to prescribe and supervise
courses of study, to determine gradations
of scholarship. to stand between the teach
or and the parent to settle disputes; in
short, to engineer the system, to see that
the power is duly applied, and that i'm
pediments are removed.
We suspect from what we find in the
Denrer Ne,cs that our friends out there,
as in other places, need some such work
done. School Directors, with their pri-
vate business demanding constant atten.
ton, can not do it they require a super.
intendent. a man of tact and experience.
who can give to that work all the time ii
requires. Such aman will save more
than his pay to the pockets of Taxpayers
aud ifthe laws under which the schools
are organized in the city and county dc
not provide for such an Office, they ought
| to be amended at once, 4
