There have been few things written
which have received wider publication,
or net with more general favor con,
sidering the time 1t has been out, than
has this simple little ballad. Not only
has it been published many times entire,
but some Of its expressions have been
adopted as aphorisms into the political
literature Of the day. Bret Harte's
Heather Chinoe never had bigger run
than has this plain little rhyme, that
started from an anonymous pen, in an
obscure town almost on the frontier
The secret of it is, that this poem is a
prophetic satire upon the political state
of things. which al now see to be inc
vitable. 1t may have had only local
significance in the mird Of its author
but. i embodies and quite piquantly set,
forth an idea that will yet play an impor-
tant political part. 1t contains the cream
of the humorthers sin political rev.
~
olution; that is to say it portrays OF
suggest the ridiculous regeneration
which tho old party hacks and barn" cles
always make to avoid getting left" in
the break up Of the old parties and the
formation Of new ones. We predict that
this little poem will yet become as famous
as any bito rhyme in the English lam
guage of its kind. Before long there
will be controversy as to its authorship
Let's have the matter settled now, Let
the Atehison Champion ris, to explain.

SPELLING IN SCHOOL.

We wish to call attention to this sub,
jcc', and, at the same time, to appeal To
the experience of every individual. The
Elementary Spelling Book so generally
in use, is very unsatisfactory school
book. The First Reader should bo used
in its place. 1t is a mistaken idea that
children must be taught spelling before
reading. Much time is lost in teaching
after this method. We favor thorough
work in spelling, but believe it can be ac.
complished in one half the time by pro-
per methods of teaching, ~
As soon as child has learned the Al
phabet, ii should be put in the First Read
er. The teacher will End ii about as easy
to teach reading noe as when the child
shall have Spenta year in tho Elementary
Spelling Book. Our pupils as class are
poor spoilers. We do not teach spelling
with the reading and reading with the
spelling. Our method is to spell the
words we Use aud usc the xcrds wo spell.
There may be some advantage in rcquir>
ing pupils to maucrtsa long columns Of
words but tho prOYicty of such method
Is questionable, Is there not a bottsr
