of Educating the Sexes TOgether-An
Interesting Meeting.
A meeting of the Teachers Central As
ISOLATION was held yesterday evening in the

by DR.. Shelton, the President of the Asso-
citation, at II o'clock, and the proceedings

any member of the association desiring to

after all others who may desire to do so
shall have spoken, and, furthermore, that
each speaker is to be limited to ten minutes,

The Boston Traveller has the fol-
lowing: A well known Democratic
lawyer of this city the. other day
attempted to convince a former
slave, and now the deacon of a Bos-
ton Church, that it was his duty to
vote for Greeley. "You know Mr..
Sumner and Mr.. Greeley have been
your friends" said he. "Yes, I'll
allow all dat" "Then is it not
your duty to be grateful to Mr..
Greeley ?' "Oh, yes, yes, Pm ber-
ry grateful 10 Massa Greeley
"Then why can you not vote for
him ?" "Oh, Pm afraid Of his
friends, dem old rebs." "You are
a praying man, deacon ?" ayes, 1
hope so, Sir" "Don't the Bible tell
you to pray for your enemies ?"
"Oh, yes; and does pray for 'em,
hard" "And you should forgive
them the harm they have done you
and the country" "Oh l does all
dat; l forgive 'em all, as the Bible
tells me; but it doesn't tell me to
let 'em have chance to do it agaiD!"
The lawyer will henceforth conine
his missionary labors to another
class of subjects.

The Democratic Disaster in

The Democratic Disaster in
Delaware.
Two years ago the Democrats
carried Delaware at "the little elec-
ton" by 1000 majority; on Tues.
day, in similar contest, their ma
jority fell TO eighty twol In 1870
New Castle county gave forty-four
Republican majority; now it gives
$40. Sussex county gave nearly
1900 Democratic now it gives only
l15. Kent county gave some 800 ;
now itgiVes 307. The Republicans
are gaining new courage from this
result. AS the Wilmington Com.
mercial says: ait must be remem-
bered that this vote is cast by the
Democratic party, and not by the
Greeley party. Hundreds who sup.
ported the Democratic candidates
on Tuesday will not vote for Gree
ley in November, and the majority
of eighty-two, which would be
wiped out, at any rate, when the
full strength of both sides is voted,
will be buried out of sight when
the anti~Greeley element is with
drawn from it. This is but tho be-
ginning of the eud. Not only can
Delaware be carried by Grant and
Wilson, but the Republicans, by a
little steady, earnest, well directed
work, can elect their Congressman,
and choose majority of the Legis-
ture. Why don't they do it?"

The present editor of the st. Louis
Democrat held the same position on
the Cincinnati Enquirer in 1869,
and naturally knew the Democratic
ropes pretty well. Of Mr.. Haus.
saurek, who has lately come out for
Greeley, because the Grant COM
mittee did not feel inclined to buy
him, the Democrat says: "He bar
gained with the friends of George
II. Pendleton in 1869, and entered
a so-called reform movement which
gave Cincinnati to the Democrats,
and at every election since he has
been in the market with his price
affixed. The recent disclosures vir-
tuaIly dispose of him and rob him
of the little influence he has hereto

"RecOncfIiatiOn" Illustrated
in Georgia.

The Georgia election last week
afforded a timely and nnmistakable
warning of the kind of "reconcilia-
ton" we may expect in the South
if Greeley should be elected. The
Democracy drove both the negroes
aud white Republicans from the
polls in many counties, shooting the
negroes down like dogs in Macon,
and intimidating them in other
places, so that they were afraid to
vote. The result is Democratic
majority of oUer 55 900 in the State!
This is specimen of the spirit of

Greeley says prevails in the South |!

Month of my heart, thou dswnest here,
With sere and faded leaves to strew
The Summers melancholy bier.
The moaning of thy winds hear,
As the red sunset dies afar,
And bars of purple clouds appear,
obacuring every western star.
Thou, solemn month I hear thy voice,

When but to live was to rejoice,
When earth was lovely to my gaze.

Seemed bathed in hues of living pri lie.

Tornado In the West-Village
Demolished.

| MEMPHIS, September 29.-The
steamer Julia, that came down last
night, reports a terrific tornado as
having occurred ninety miles above
here yesterday afternoon. At Os~
ceola, Arkansas, the storm struck
the town-containing perhaps three
hundred hOuses-about one o'clock,
coming from a southwestern direc-
tion, and before the citizens could
realiR its extent, or before they
could even get to their doors, it had
burst upon them with unprecedent.
ed fury and violence, sweeping be
fore it houses, cattle, trees, fences,
and everything movable. Trees
were carried by the winds like
straws; cattle, horses and mules were
blown about the streets, and, becom-
ing wild with fright, ran helter-
ske!ter in all directions. The air
was literally thick with fragments
of every imaginable thing. Cotton
fields were completely riddled, the
stock torn up by the roots, and the
lint blown from the bolls. Fences
We're torn into kindling- wood; houses
taken up and carried entirely from
the foundations, and roofs and parts
OF roofs were whirling in the air
like autumn leaves.
In less time than it has taken to
write it the town, once beautiful
place, was mass of ruins. Three
churches and six storehouses were
blown down in a moment, and ma
ny of the heaviest timbers carried |
entirely away. Nearly every dwell
ing house in O5ceola and its immed |
late vicinity was blown down or
unroOfed. The mills and cotton gin
belonging to Mr.. Eddins, near the
town, were torn to fragments.
Hardly vestige of the buildings
Was left to mark the spot where they
stood. In all eighteen persons were
killed or badly wounded. Three,
two men and woman, are known
to be killed outright, and others
will die of their injuries.
After spending its fury, the tor
nadO crossed the river and went di-
rectiy up stream ten miles, twisting
large forest trees up by theroots, ,and
throwing some into the river,
while others. not 20 large, We're
carried high in the air and lodged
In the branches OF larger ones. I1e
course is marked now by barreb
waste on both sides OF the river,
entire cotton fields having been laid
level with the earth, and all build
Jugs in it's course razed to the
ground. When it left the river it
took north-easterly direction,
sweeping eVerything in its course.
Fortunately the steamer Julia bare
iY missed it. Had she been in its
course the fate of her passengers
would inevitably have been death,
and the boat would have been cap
sized and went to the bottom. A
rough estimate of the loss to the
town of Osceola places it at two
hundred Thousand dollars.

said: "When the Democratic ora

make demand to which, without
contradicting our manhood, it is i'm
possible to accede." To this "de-
mand" the Sage has "acceded," and
now what of the "manhood?"

Failures i'm Society.

Society is full of failures that
need never have been made; full of
men who never succeeded when they
might have succeeded; full of women
who in the first half of their days
did nothing but eat, sleep and SIM
per, and in the last half did nothing
but perpetuate their follies and
weakness. The world is full, 1 say,
of such people, full of men of every
trade and profession who do not
amount to anything, and girls and
women without trade or profession
who have no desire to amount to
anything; and do not speak irrev-
erently, and l trust not without due
charity, without making due allow
ance for the inevitable in life, when
L say that God and thoughtful men
are weary of their presence. Every
boy ought to improve on his own
father; every girl grow into a no
bier, gentler, more self>denying wo-
manhood than the mother. No pro-
ductions of the former types will
give the world a perfect type. 1
know not where the millennium is,
as measured by distance of time
but L do know, and so do you all,
that it is great way off as measured
by human growth and expansion.-
We have no such men and women
yet, no age has ever bad any, as
shall stand on the earth in that age
of peace that will not come until we
are worthy of it Rev. w. II.
