One drunkard will keep family

One unruly animal will learn all

One hole in fence will cost ten

The man who believes too little may
be safer than the man who believes too
much but it is question if, through
life, he knows half as much pleasure.
Always do as the sun does--look at
the brightest side of things-for while it

The world twines itself about the

Chicago, May 81. Martin Bensio, aged 20
years, yesterday afternoon shot Catherine
McKalaw, aged 20 years, inflicting a mortal
wound and then shot himself, dying instant

between them, and on the occasion of the
German procession on Monday, Catherine
went out driving with young man, and this

From Tennessee

Nashville, May 81. The democrats of the
2lst civil district of this county, have adopted
resolutions. Inasmuch a. the present State
constitution gives the colered man every civil
and political right endorsed by the white man,
the validity of the 14th and 18th amendments
forms no substantial issue before the people
of Tennessee, and NO person or paper con-
tanning agitation of that question is entitled to
the confidence or support of the democracy of
the State. The Ku klux bill looks only to
perpetuation and success Of radicals by vio-
lence, false pretenses and contemplated de-
struction of the government, only to be pre-
vented by better organizations Of democrats.
The meeting also resolved to form itself into
posse comitatus, to be ready at the call of
the U. S. marshal or sheriff. to arrest and
bring to justice any person violating the pro-
visions of the Ku Klux act in Tennessee,
binding themselves to pursue with hue and
cry the offenders beyond the confines of the
district, offering one hundred dollars reward
for the arrest and convection of every often
der in the district, and requesting the demo-
Gratis Of other counties to organize clubs
under these resolutions. Among the signers
are Ex-Governor Henry s. Foote, member
of confederate congress, John c. Thompson,
Of the late State constitutional convention,
and others of the most influential and best
citizens of the State, many of whom were
rebels during the war. The resolutions were
endorsed by every democrat in the district,
and will probably be adopted by every county
in the State.

From Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Pa, May 81. The coroner's
jury on the case of the West Pittston disaster,
rendered a verdict this morning that the
miners met their death from improper ven
tiation of the mines. That when the breaker
took fire there was no means to supply the
men with fresh air, and that the means of
ventilation were not such as required by the
act Of 1870. The jury furthermore find
the negligence on the part of the employers
Of the company in not keeping portion of the
machinery properly oiled, and further that
the company had employed on the day of the
accident, greater number of men than the
account referred to warrants. The verdict
finds that Thos. w. Williams, inspector of
the mine, knew these violations of law, but
did not protest against them, and that he
failed in his duty in notapplying to the courts
for injunction against the operators. Will
lams has strangely called together another
jury to hold an inquest for the purpose of
indicating him. 1t is now in session
There is no law to authorize the holding of
the second inquest, and the public opinion
here, regards the step as an effort on the part
of the inspector to whitewash himself. The
verdict OF the coroners jury is cordially ap-
proved William James, another rescued
miner, died yesterday.

paper on the classification of Schools,
has been prepared and published in book form
by MIR. c. b. Stetson of Lewiston, County Su-
pervisor Of Androscoggin county, and one of
the ablest public educators in the country
He begins his clear and comprehensive paper
with the statement that there can be no good
teaching without good classification, both in
graded and ungraded schools and shows how,
by general division of school time this may
be accomplished by any teacher. He then
proceeds to advance some very plain and prac
teal ideas on vocal drill writing and drawing,
composition, general exercises, moral instruc-
ton, indoor recesses, subdivision of school
time, keeping pupils together, and at the close
Of the pamphlet gives two working pro-
grammes for the direct guidance of each
teacher. Many of the ideas advanced we
have heard Mr.. Stetson enforce in county in
stitutes, and where his plans have been adopt
ed success has followed the well directed eff
forts of the teacher. A copy of the work will
be sent to any person for % cents. Address

In connection with a notice Of this little
book, we would state that Mr. Stetson, in a
recent communication to the Lewiston Journ-
al, had something to say about spelling. He
says that children should be taught words
which the great majority Of the boys and girls
when grown to men and women, will have
occasion to use in writing. Common words,

Some of the above words are common. and
everybody should be taught to spell them :;
but it is simply barbarism to require pupils in
the common schools to learn the spelling of
four fifths of the number. If there were on
ly few of such words it would not pay to
say anything about them; but there arc
thousands and thousands of just such words
in the spelling books which are used in the
State, and children are wasting their time
vainly attempting to learn to spell them. But
even if they learned to spell them they would
not be profted one particle by the knowledge.

Thirty-three Communists, among whom
were seven women, were shot in body by a
company of soldiers in the plaza in front of
the Hotel de Vile this morning, around
three sides Of the troops to the number of
1900 drawn up under Col. Guezot. At 8
o'clock the prisoners who had been confiled
in coal cellars back of the porters lodge in
Hetel de Vile, were brought out Their
hands were tied behind their backs and they
were marched out by the main gateway thro'
double file of soldiers, and having reached
the centre of the wide area in front of the
Hotel de Vile, were ranged in a row and
made to kneel down close together. There
was nothing on the plaza but three empty
scavenger carts which stood in a line at the
rear of the prisoners. When the company
was in line and ready to fire, Gen. Guezot
stepped forward and told the prisoners in a
few words that they were to suffer death for
having been caught in the act of setting fire
to buildings and dwellings. At this moment
the women uttered piercing shrieks and be-
gan to sway themselves back and forth. An
officer advanced and made them keep still
with the flat of his sword. A few moments
afterwards volley was fired, and when the
smoke cleared away most horrible sight
was presented. Three of the women in the
middle of the row were still living, and
writing in awful agony. A second volley
was fired, and third, and not until the sixth
id all the prisoners cease to live. The dead
bodies were then thrown into the scavenger
carts and carried away to be buried. There
were but few people at the scene.
