frank aud decidedly funny. He said
he brought 800 and his son Tom $l5,-
900 cash to Jefferson City. Toms OBJ
ject was to banquet members In the
event of witnesses election rs Senator.
He denied any connection with Bogy,
and said lie no more expected Bogy
would be elected than that lie would
be struck BY lightning. He was In IA
vor OF breaking up the caucus, In
which case he expected q compromise
candidate would be put up, and hoped
that lie (Dorrls) would be the man. He
thought he had the inside track, as no
had the most money. The amount Of
money he proposed to expend might
seem large to some men, but # wasn't
to him. He wouldn't feel 1t. His ex-
pendltures In Jefferson City amounted
to IS. 500, and he took the rest OF the
SIS, 900 back to st. Louis.

The Chsnplnin Marbles.

The discovery of the vast beds of marble
on Lake ChIInplain. i'll the western part o
Vermont. Is OF almost national Importance
Ii Is indeed strange that such a mine OF
wealth, Ii all stories told concerning IL be
true. should have remained so long undis-
covered. The marble occurs la strata
varying in thickness from one 10 six feet,
and as it can be easily split across the bed
or grain. blocks of any size can be readily
obtained.
The report of the State Geologist of Yer
mont, Mr.. Albert ID. Ilagcr, sufficiently
proves the enormou, value OF these quar-
rels. He found them to contain au infinite
variety OF marbles. and expresses doubt
whether marbles of equal variety and
beauty have ever been discovered This
opinion will be heartily approved by all
persons seeing the specimens of the mar
blcs now in this city. An inexperienced
person would scarcely believe that so great
variety OF patterns and colors could be
discovered IN quarry. The specimen
slabs are polished as brilliantly as a mirror.
and are absolutely free from either flaw or
crack. The stone is of extraordinary hard
ness. and the owners Of the quarry claim
that 1t is not only more perfect but more
durable than any other marble. The diff
ierent veins may be classified as follows
. 'Ss, vi az WIN Ittuisn OF
greenish hue, trayersed by innumerable
and delicate black lines; second, a green
marble yariegated with red third, choco-
late marble; fourth, red marble resem-
bling Scotch granite and lastly. series
OF lighter color. some of which are nearly
white.
All these marbles are of great beauty, al
though some of the specimens greatly cx-
Gel others. 1t is claimed that for orna-
mental purposes they are unsurpassed,
and they have already been used in the
erection of many public buildings.
The company believe that they can sup
ply these marbles at about the cost of the
more expensive kinds of wood. At all
events they will be able to undersell all
foreign competitors, and it is more than
likely that they will be able to supply the
English market with material at once
better and cheaper than any which build
ers have As yet been able to obtain.
Only an expert can positively determine
the value ofmarble, but if these marbles
are half as good as they seem to be. and if
the Champlain Quarries are as inexhaust-
ible as the owners claim, the discovery
will hereafter be remembered as one of the
noteworthy events of the present time.

What has the Normal School done for
our Common Schools?

notice in a late issue of the american.
that Principal Fletcher states that the
Eastern State Normal School has register
ed five hundred pupils.
think, from my own observation, that
the school has. indirectly instructed
double that number of teachers.
Any one. who has been In the habit OF
visiting schools for the last ten or twelve
years and had the privilege Of comparing
the method of the old style teachers, with
that of the Normal teachers. must be con-
WINGED Of the great superiority of the lat
ter; and that the Normal school was
great step in the right direction.
Through it, influence the standard of
common school education has been
brought much higher, and hence a demand
for better educated teachers.
Ii Is but few years since. that teacher
might get Il certificate TO teach. who could
not possibly draw map of his own State:
but now pupils have been 50 well practiced
in this useful branch. that teacher who
cannot give instruction in it, must feel that
he is In an embarrassing situation aud tho
result i, he will either post up or retire
from the profession.
And map drawing is only one OF many
improvements that might be mentioned
But propably the greatest blessing the
Normal School has conferred on our COM
mon schools is uniformity in teaching.
Formerly there We're as many different
met hodS rs there were teachers. and every
term of school the scholars were Obliged
to spend days or weeks in becoming ac-
quainted with the particular method of the
new teacher; but now there is sufficient
uniformity that the pupil may. without loss
OF time, make steady advancement, even
though there be- change of teachers every
term.
do not mean TO convey the idea that all
Norinals are successful teachers, nor that
there are no successful teachers but Nor
mails. For on the one hand there are per-
sons who a'e naturally incapable of be-
coming good teachers. and no school train
lhs can ever make up for what nature has
denied them; while on the other hand some
teachers have sufficient ingenuity to invent
a successful method of their own. or what
Is oitener the case, by visiting become ac-
quanted with successful teachers methods
and initiate them. But do think that the
Normals generally are the most successful.
and that the man who is good teacher
without Normal instruction would be a
better with il. RI. GRINpLr.
