HONOIlS TO FALLEN HEROES.

Decoration Day has been well observed in
most places in the State At a few points
there was an appearance of Indifference,
but the feeling was not general.
Brandon was fortunate in her speakers,
all of whom uttered sentiments worth pre-
serving Judge June thought the day
should I've remembered as Il holiday. 1t is
so in New York, by law of Il recent legis-
laturc. There is but one objection that
could be urged against the proposition to
make it holiday. Holidays do not fare
well at the hands of all the people. One
would think that the solemn rcmcmbrances
of the occasion would forever protect it
from such celebrations as many persons
are in the habit of giving New Years day
and Fourth of July but look at Christ
mas 1t is favorite day for eggnogg.
Nay, on that day, especially, it grotcsqucly
flows "without money and without price,"
and the police in cities are kept busy, and
the reports in the morning papers are
charged with an unusually horrifying in
terest
We have not arrived at the point of max
ing Good Friday an occasion for that sort
of obstreperous rejoicing, because it has
only recently begun to come into anything
like general observance as a holiday.
People have not become familiar enough
with it to begin to drink its health as they
do the holidays of Christmas, and Sunday.
These may be regarded as evils that will
gather around any holiday. We cannot
eliminate them. We have few enough hol-
idays, and there will always be found some
who would spontaneously and who will
in any event, render true respect and pay
true Difference to the day. And on the
whole the idea is good and probably popu-
lar.
Judge June also made the excellent sug-
gestion of placing memorial monuments
upon every important battlefield, and on
some of them monuments marking impor-
tant movements and daring feats of bravery,
or where prominent officers and soldiers
died that their country might live.
We are not in the least danger of doing
too much honor to our fallen heroes, and it
would be well if these remembrancers could
be erected.

GIVES HIMSELF IRA man calling
himself Leopold F, Wilson gave himself
up to the Chief of Police at Syracuse on
Monday, charging himself with forgery
Being dead broke in Syracuse about II year
ago, he said he forged check for $40 on
man named Martin in Albany and got it
cashed by Mr.. Letter. This was found
to be true, but it is thought he only sur
rendered himself to escape arrest for some
heavier crime. He admits the name given
to be an alias, and says he was once local
editor, the qualifications for that position
being Imagination and invention.

SCHOOL ROOM EXERCISES.

Proper regard for the health of the
children intrusted to US requires US to
pay some attention to the develop
ment of their lungs, for whea wehave
taken care of helungs We have taken
care of the whole body generally.
Horace Greeley wrote with his desk
on level with his chin in order TO
protect his lungs; many school-ehia-
dren spend much time with their
desks and chins in the same position
in regard to each other; but it is
gained unfortunately by curving the
spine and COMPRISING the lungs
Children will bend at their desks;
why then shall we not counteract the
evil effects by proper vocal exercises?
Frequently the programme of the
primary school is so arranged that the
half-hOur before-the reading is spent
in preparing some exercises on the
slate; and on calling the reading
class the intelligent teacher feels the
necessity of doing something to
quicken the flow of blood, which
has become sluggish from inaction
and cramped position.
Any physical exercise adapted to
the expansion of the chest and the
freedom and force of the circulation
will ferve to impart energy and glow
to the muscular apparatus of the
voice and clearness to its sound. We
suggest the following exercises: l.
Let the teacher give the signal for her
pupils to rise; then direct them to
initiate her as she stands before the m
N q huf
weight of the body resting on the left
foot, and the right little in advance;
the head vertical; the shoulders
thrown backward and downward;
the arms akimbo; the hands on the /
hips with the fingers in front. Hav-
ing carefully observed that each child /
has the proper position, require all to
draw in and give out the breath fully |
and slowly about dozen times in
succession. The teacher should !
breathe also, and keep the time by an
upward and downward motion of the
hand. 2. Draw in full breath and
send it forth in prolonged sound of
the letter h. Inhale as much air as
possible. In exhaling retain as much
as possible, and still sustain the sound,
thus prolonging it. 3. Draw in full
supply of breath and emit it with
lively expulsive force in the sound of
the letter h but little prolonged-in
the style of a slight cough. A. Inhale
as before, and emit the breath with a
sudden and violent explosion-in the
style of a forcible cough.
Invariably inhale through the nos
trils. The teachers own judgment
must decide the number of times to
repeat each exercise.
Three or four times will be sufficient
for the first few days; care must be
taken not to iDjure the delicate or
gans at first.
If the teacher has conducted the
exercises with proper enthusiasm, the
have now quickened pulses,
bright eyes, and glowing cheeks, and
are ready to open the reading books.

The Steamship MuriliO.

A despach from Lisbon says that
that the Spanish steamship Murillo,
which, it is now no longer doubted, is
the ship which sunk the emigrant ship
Northfeet off Dungeness, in the Eng
lish Camel, had been sighted off that
port. 1t is thought that she had been
ordered to leave CadiZ. If such is
the fact that the Spanish government
ought to be called to immediate ac-
count. The testimony given before
the British Consul at Cadiz by pas
songers on board the Murillo con-
cerning the circumstances attending
the collision in the English Channel
is most damaging to the officers of the
Spanish vessel. They testified to
the fact of a collision, to hearing lOnd
cries for 4" Help :" and to having en-
treated the officers and crew 20 lower
the boats and lend assistance to the
unfortunate crowd who were going
down in the other ship. To their
earnest entreaties no heed was paid,
the inhuman captain of the Murillo
appearing totally Indifferent to the
despairing appeals which continued
to come from the direction of the
sinking ship. For a moment the en-
gines were stopped; but, without
lowering boat or making any effort
to find out that the name of the un-
fortunate vessel, the engines We're
stopped; but, without lowering a
boat or making any effort to find out
the name of the unfortunate vessel,
the engines were again put in mo-
ton, and the Murrillo steamed away,
leaving the victims of the collision
to their fate. Nothing SO horribly
cruel as this has happened on the high
seas for many years. The Murillo
may have found her way out of the
harbor of Cadiz; but it will be diff
cult for her officers to escape the pun
ishment which is so justly due. In
such a case vengeance should be swift
and sweeping.-Net0 York Herald.

Failures in Society.

Society Is full of failures that need
never have been made; full of men
who have never succeeded, when they
might have and should have succeed
ed full of women whv, in the first
half of their days, did nothing but
perpetuate their follies and weakness.
The world is full, say, of such peo-
pie, full of men in every trade and
profession, who do not amount to
anything, and of girls and women
without any trade or profession, who
have no desire TO amount to any,
thing; and / do not speak irreverent-
ly, and / trust not without due char
ity, without making due allowance
to the inevitable i'm life, when / Isay
that God and thoughtful men are
worthy of their presence. Every
boy ought to improve on his father;
every girl grow into nobler, gentler,
more self-denying womanhood than
the mother. No reproduction of for
mer type will give the world the per-
feet type. l know not where the
millennium is, as measured by distance
of time, but I do know, and so do
you all, that it is a great way off as
measured by human growth and ex-
pansion. We have no such men and
women yet-no age has ever had
a1y-as shall stand on earth in that
age ofpeace that will not come until
men are worthy of it.-ReU. W. III.

thieves, and showed them up for the
true earrion birds they were. Also
how he exposed the plot of Greeley,
Schurz, Sumner and the rest to get
possession Of the Government and
Te-enslave the negroes. But what
were these subjects for his art COM

A Respectable Locomotive Explosion.

An explosion as was an explosion
occurred on the South Carolina Rail
road, the other day, when locomo-
tive boiler exploded. Every portion
of the engine was complete wreck.
One of the large driving wheels was
torn from the axle and buried deep in
the embankment on the left. One
of the heavy driving shafts was hurl-
ed over the embankments of the cut,
and in its career struck the top of a
telegraph-pole, which it snapped off
like stick of glass. The dome of
the engine was thrown far above the
cut, and fell about 800 yards to the
left. The bell started with similar
velocity, and crushed in the gable
end of a negro preachers house,
about the same distance on the right,
causing the sable clergymen to trem-
bic with fright. The rest of the en-
gine, except the flues, was blown to
fragments; Strange to say, q car
containing several persons, though
but few feet from the engine, was
untouched by any of the flying frag-
ments. There being no other per-
SOUS near, no injury was done to
life. The conclusion was 50 great
that the tumblers and bottles were
thrown from the shelves and counter
of bar-rOom in Lewisville, nearly
a half mile distant, and the detona-
ton is said TO have been distinctly
heard distance of ten lilies.

most formidable enemy of the French
in Algeria, aud earned from them the
title OF "1he Eagle of the Desert"
In 1882 he formed a ombination of
twenty-three Arab tribes, able to put
into the field fighting force OF IL, 600
warriors. From this time until 1S4l
he fought the invading French armies
with indomltahle perseverance, aud
with varying fortunes. Vanquished
and taken prisoner in that year, he
was held as captive in France until
1852, when he was released, aud took
up his residences in the Fast. He has
always been regarded as the model

sonal appearance is thus described I;
"His stature II above the middle

WANTED.

1t has been wisely said that an
ounce of enterprise is worth ton Of
natural advantages. We have en-
deavored to point out the natural ad-
vantages of Clarksville as center of
trade and industry; and have shown,
in previous numbers of this paper,
that we are surrounded with stores
of mineral wealth, and with abund-
ance of other resources, which, if
properly used, must inevitably con-
duce to the prosperity of this city.
Last week We published an article on
the health status of this place, from
the pen of one of our most eminent
physicians, which demonstrates very
clearly the great healthfulness of this
section, and consequently its desira-
bleness as a part of the country in
which to make ones home and to do
business. Thus from every stand
point we have tried to show that, so
far as our natural advantages are
concerned, We are greatly blessed.
But this is not enough; all these ad-
vantages are only so many trusts
committed to our care. We may
neglect or abuse them, and, for doing
so, suffer the penalty. Something
more than natural advantages is
necessary to make our city and the
surrounding country prosperous.
In the first place, we need more
enterprise; greater disposition to
bravely meet the trifling obstacles
and difficulties in our onward course
and to overcome them with patient,
well directed energy and labor. This
want supplied, and our natural ad-
vantages become valuable; but so
long as enterprise Is lacking, the ad-
vantages with which nature has so
bountifully blessed us, are worthless.
Indeed it is better for a people not to
be favored with SO many natural re-
sources, if they are not true enough
to themselves to make right use oi
them. 1t is better not to have one
taient eveii, than to wrap it up in O
napkin. But where five or ten tai
ents have been committed to the care
and keeping of people, and all have
been neglected, the case becomes de-
plorable. For man is as MUCH re-
sponsible to his Maker for proper
use of these natural advantages, al
for any other favors which are con
ferred upon him.
But energy and enterprise are no
the only things wanted here. W.
need more harmony of thought ant
action, determination to lay asid'
all personal and merely selfish consid
erations, and make aunited effort 70
the common good of the whole com
