A LESSON IN JOURNALISM

There is one thing Mr.. Greeley can teach
the young gentlemen who ridlcule him. and
that is "what he knows about making good

the journey to Zanzibar after DR.. Livingston
Is the engagement by The Tribune of Emilio

THE METHODISTS IN COUN-
GIL.

OIl4s
One OF the gre events Of the pres
ent month is the Quadrennial Con-
ference Of the Methodist Church,
which met on the first Of May in
Brooklyn. The census shows that
this body Of Christians has larger
accommodation for people and a lar
ger church property than any other
church denomination in the land.
The coming conference is remarka-
BILE from the fact that it is the first
Grand Body in which the laity have
had representation. Since the last
General Conference in 1868 that
question has been submitted to the
church and the conferences, and has
been adopted in the affirmative.
The lay delegates are men Of high
character and enlarged experience,
and will give dignity and weight to
the assemblage. The conference
consists of 52l delegates, 292 minis
ters and 129 laymen. There are al
so five Bishops. Both sets of dele
gates sit and deliberate together as
one house, but may vote separately
whenever one third of either set of
delegates wish it and in such cases
the concurrent vote of both sides of
the house shall be essential to carry
any measure. The questions of i'm
portance before the conference will be
the choice Of new Bishops, the man
agement of the Book Concern, new
definition Of the duties Of presiding
elders. etc. Among the delegates
are two from Liberia, and one from
India. California sends six, Color
ado two, Mississippi four, Louisiana
two, Georgia four, North Carolina
two, South Carolina four, and Ala
bama two. These Southern dele
gates are the first to return to the
conference, and their appearance is
the augury Of the final settlement of
the differences between the Metho-
dists North and South, and their re-
union under one flag.

LADY DUELLISTS

A Mexican romance shows that
the Mexican woman is willing to as
sumo all the responsibility belong
ing to her rights. Two Mexican
ladies Of rank, at a ball in Santa
Cruz, quarreled regarding a gentle
man who loved each, we assume,
about equally. A challenge follow
ed, and there was a fight with
swords, the end of which was the
disabling Of the sword-arm of one OF
the combatants. The wounded lady,
nothing daunted, drew a pistol and
cared the other to come on. The
parties were placed and the word
given, and the unfortunate one in
the previous affcay received ball in
her left arm and was carried from the
field in swoon. Two hours after
wards, the rules of chivalry holding
good, the victor was married to the
object OF SO many affections, and
bore him blushingly away on a
horseback wedding tour Roches-

EDUCATIONAL.
SUBJECTS FROM GEOGRAPHY AND
HISTORY.

The exercise of composition should be
considered rs beneficial for the awaken
ing of thought as for the elaboration OF
style. Hence, in the case of older schol
ars, the subjects assigned to them should
satisfy the two intsrrogatoriss: Do they
understand it? Will it extend their
knowledge
The boys and girls are numerous that
can frame pretty sentences CLEANED frsm
newspa per paragraphs or borrowed from
the poets, about Spring, Simmer, or 9th
er sentimental texts. With such themes,
they soon dash offa page of glittering
romance, which makes not the slightest
draft on the Intellectual powers Of either
writer or reader. Give these same ready
writers, The d!6ftrera'e IN character be-
teoeen tho people Of tOarna and Of Temperate
climates, and their genial inspiration
ceases at once. Why? Simply because
thinking is irksome they discover that
rhapsodizing will not answer here, and
to careful reflection they are indlsposed.
As the youthful mind, therefore, mas q
natural tendency to fanciful expression,
there is no need of seeking its cultivation
in that particular rather give such top
ics as, besides proper discipline in lang
uage, w1ll arouse to independent research.
In assigning themes from Geography
and History, let this principle be borne
IN mind. IF the ubject be drawn from
Geography, let it not be any particular
country or topic Of the same name in the
book; for if the pupil is writing ON
"Ohio, or philadelphia" unless sufic-
ientIy read to consult foreign sources hia
production will be mere imitation OF
the text book, with sentences entirely
copied, Or but 81 Chilly transposed. Pro
pose some general head under which va
rious particulars must be arranged by pa
tient comparison. Your class have gone
over the United States, their heads con
fusedly full Of the special descriptions of
soil, climate, people, appended to each.
To give them an opportunity Of sorting
this medley, subjects like these may be
found advantageous: "The Iron Stats,
People and manufactures; "The States
bordering on the Lakes, and leading pur-
suits" The pupils will thus be obliged
to lock over their books, and classify
facts in this particular.
In History the same method may be
pursued. IF the Teacher suggest this
Pilgrims" as the theme, there is the temp
tation Of necessity from the absence of
other authority, to quote largely from the
manual studied, closely following the az
thor's thought and style. II your class
are in History of the United States, lit
tie labor on your part can prepare quer~
tions covering the ground over which
they have gone, and calling for system
attic arrangement of the knowledge &C
CURED Thus: Some account Of the
states first settled by the French" or
"The different explorers aezt from Spain
to America" will ssrve to review and
impress these facts On the mind
The thoughtful teacher will readily
perceive that this plan of generalization,
may beapplied to Philosophy, Chemistry
Rhetoric, and other Of the sciences.
