stat. and County schools,

State School Superintendent John M.
Fleming, of Nashville, has issued an ad-
dress or circular to the County Super
intend endents of Public Instruction,
prescribing the mode of examination
and licensing of school teachers and
their necessary qualifications" The
qualifications are moral character,
aud the qualifications in scholarship
must be ascertained by an examination
conducted by the County Superintend-
ent or by his authority. The mode of
examination is both written and oral
questions and answers, but no special
formula is prescribed. The degree Of
attainment 10 each branch must be
graded according to scale ranging from
one to ten. When the average grade
falls below FIVE in the scale the appli-
cant should be rejected.
The certificate issued authorizes the
passed applicant to teach in any of the
public schools of the county for twelve
months from date. Photography, Read
ing Writing, Mental Arithmetic, Writ
ten Arithmetic, Grammar, Geography,
United States History, Theory and Prac-
tice of Teaching, etc. The certificate
is only good in the county from which it
is issued, and for only twelve months
from date. In many of the schools only
primary instruction is required, hence
no uniform or unvarying standards of
qualifications for teachers will be estab-
lisheI, such being deemed impractical
BILE. The circular gives other interest
ing points with reference to the duties
of county superintendent, to which
circular the superintendent are referred
for information.

New York, June pm. Ubassy, the
French billiardist, who has been in this
city for a week, gave private exhibitions
evenings of his real fancy shooting.
They have been the prevailing theme in
billiard circles since his arrival. Ubassy
is by far the leading favorite in pools for
the coming contest for the champion
ship.
To-day is the third day Of the Fleet
wood Park races. First race is for a
$1,000 purse for 2:25 horses. Highland
Maid, Ida Picton, Constance, Abdallah,
and Brown Kittie will compete. Ida
Picton is favorite. Second race, a $500
purse for 2;25 horses. Chas. E. Loew,
Clara G., Confidence and Crown Prince
will run. Crown Prince is favorite.
Both are two mile heats, best three in

The suddenness of Beauregard's con
version, along with half dozen un
known white men, has produced none Of
the results evidently expected. The &C
cession of few such men is not a mat
ter of any congratulation to the Repub'
lican party. Beauregard is light weight
in politics, and his services, which might
have been of some avail in the past, are
not required now. He has gone over too
late, and we doubt whether he will be re-
cognized by the Administration even
with a small Office. He has gone to
" eating crow with voracious appe-
tite, but the crow" can stand it longer
than he can. The movement is farci-
cal search for Office, too thin to deceive
anybody. There is,not a colored laborer
or loafer in all Louisiana so thick-skulled
as to believe that Beauregard and his
white associates really favor the edu-
cation OF white and colored children at
the same schools, or that they desire
equality in hotels, theaetrs, churches,
and social gatherings. The shoemaker
should stick to his last, aud even so
should the creole General have stuck to
something with which be had some ae-
quaintance His voluntary pledges
bind himself only, .and only excite the
derisige laughter and contempt Of the
government party.

The health officer OF Cincinnati hal
made some valuable suggestions Of
sanitary characler,whieh are well worthy
of attention In our city;
The city should be kept free from
Gin of every kind. This can only be
done bv the united efforts Of the public
authorities and each individual house
holder.
?. All parts Of their premises must
be cleared Of dirt, and useless articles Of
every kind. :. al ,I,,I,
Cutters in front Of houses should be
swept daily, at least three feet from the
curb. ,
kent as free from moisture and the rays
of the sun as possible. until taken away
by the scavengers.
AN kinds Of rubbish should be re-
moved from yards, porches, passage
WAYS and garrets, and all kitchen and
other drains should be frequently swept
flushed from the hydrants and kept per
fectly clean.
Cellars, closets, pantries and store
rooms should be well cleansed out, and,
when necessary, whitewashed.
3. Ventilation of dwellings should
command particular attention.
Residences should be thoroughly
flushed every day by the free admission
of fresh air into every apartment.
Sunlight should also be permitted to
purify the atmosphere OF all bed.cham'
bers some portion of the day.
4. Good habits Of life should be scru-
pulously observed.
Regular meals through the day and
proper rest through the night are essen
tial to meRtal and physical strength,
and, therefore, to perfect health. Meals
should be eaten at stated times and no
pleasure or amusement should occupy
the hours that ought to be given to
needed repose.
None but wholesome food should be
used. Fresh pork, veal, green vegetables,
uncooked fruit, cabbage, cucumbers,
rhubarb or other articles which expe-
rience has taught individuals to know
are injurious to their systems should be
avoided.
8. No empirical practice should be
resorted to.
All medication should be directed by
the family physician. Nostrums adver-
tsed as specifics for diarrhea or other
complaints should receive no encourage
ment. They are mostly mischievous,
and, when harmless in themselves, do in
jury by the delay which they occasion
before the aid of science and skill is OBJ
tanned. =,
6. Perfect composure of mind should
be maintained.
All occasions for undue excitement
and anxiety, and all excessive fatigue,
should be carefully guarded against. If
this is done, the above suggestions car
ried out, and the party attends to his
ordinary duties in his accustomed man
ner, he may have strong assurance OF
exemption from danger,

Hon. JAMES L. BLAINE has frequently
been spoken OF as candidate for the
Presidency, and now comes the newspa-
per gossip that Secretary Fish might be
induced to accept a. nomination. We
thought the other day when he sent us
four volumes Of public documents, that
he was becoming "wondrous kind, "
and now we begin to know what he is
fishing after. All right, Mr., Secretary,
send on the documents, and we will
consider the matter at our leisure.

what the world Thinks Of Us

The city editor or local reporter of a
newspaper, although the most genial and
philanthropic Of men, is victim to mis-
conception in this world Of ours. Many
a good citizen looks upon a reporter as
a hydra-headed monster, to be avoided
if possible; as kind of omnipresent
specimen of humanity, who is eontinu-
ally exploring curious places. and who
is always watching his fellow.men from
a geographical standpoint. Indeed, so
true are these erraFs in the world that
nine men out Of ten would religiously
believe the following to be the epitOme
Of rePortorial daily life;
A local editor in Pekin, ILL.,, intro
dueed himself to the public few days
ago as follows: Sensational, distress
ing details of revolving murders and
shocking suicides respectfully solicited.
Bible class presentations and ministe-
rial donation parties will be done with
promptness and dispatch, Keno banks
and theiF operations made specially.
Accurate reports Of Sunday-school an
niversaries guaranteed. The local will
cheerfully walk seventeen miles after
Sunday-sehool to see and report a prize
fight. Funerals aud all other melan-
choly occasions written UP in a manner
to challenge admirtion. Horse races
reported in the highest style Of the ro-
portorial art Domestic hroils and con-
iugal infelicities sought for with untiring
ayidliy. Police court proceedings and
sermons reported in manner well cal
culsted TO astonish the prisoner, magis-
trate and preacher. Prompt paying
Subscribers and good advertisers, when
stricken With mortal illness, will be
cheerfally interviewed when lying at

Yate a6airs TO the critical gaze Of an in

ST. LOUIS.
Serious Accident TO Picnic Exeur-
siOnists.

ST. LOUIS, June 23.-Yesterday there
we're two picnic excursions on the Mis-
siouri & Pacific railroad. The Bricklay-
ers' Union at Castlewood, twenty-fOur
miles out, with sixteen heavily laden
coaches, and the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, half mile this side
with train Of fourteen cars. When
about to return in the evening, through
the negligence Of brakeman to signal
the rear train to approach the curve
slowly, it dashed into the stationary
telescoping two baggage cars and dam
aging the rear passenger car. The
shock was very violent, throwing nearly
every one in the passenger coaches
from their seats, bruising great num-
Der. Seventy-fve persons on the engi-
neers' train were severely injured.
