We expect to see a large

the Railroad line lying next to
the city at an early day-at
least, as soon as the right OF
way can be obtained, and we
understand steps have been
taken to condemn it at once, as
there are diifiulties in the way
of obtaining it in any other
manner. This done, we have rea-
son to believe the work will be
pushed rapidly to finish up the
grading as far as gone, and in
all probability the ties and iron
will then be laid and a conshuc-

Attention to Recifati0nS.

| EDITORS CHRONICLE / was pleased
with your views and arguments, in your
| issue of the 7th inst, in .fduOr of compul-
sorry attendance upon recitation in our
| colleges and universities, in opposition to
| the views of President Eliot, whose article
| have not seen, nor that of DIR. McCash,
who, like yourselves, favors compulsory
attendance.
Permitan old teacher to say that attend
ance upon recitation is the very life OF
scholarship, and, for the mass of students
it's only security. No teacher can make
good scholars who does not skilfully man
age the recitation. If he fails here, he
fails in his most important duty. 1t is not
more necessary that the master workman
should frequently examine every part of
the edifice he is engaged in erecting, than
that the teacher should continually meas
ure the intellectual growth of the pupil,
correct the errors into which he may have
fallen and present the matter for future
lessons. To tell what one knows in clear,
precise and elegant language, is prime
object in school training, but is greatly
neglected by most teachers. We can
not be said to know subject fully,
any father than we can embOdy
our thoughts of it in words. and it is no.
torious fact that the knowledge of the self
taught and Of those who have pri Vate tu-
less available than that of those who en-
Joy the advantages of we'll conducted reel
tations. It is at the recitation that the
teachers mind comes in closest contact
with the minds of his pupils, and where,
if at all, he rOuses all their energies in the
pursuit of knowledge. But / need not
multiply words upon truth so obvious.
Systematic mental mental development
and thorough knowledge are impossible
acquisitions to pupils who are not habit
nally required to state in compact, close,
logical sentences what they know and
prove it by pertinent facts, illustrations
and arguments under the scrutiny and
close watch of a master mind that knows
all about the subject and has the happy
faculty of thoroughly testing the pupils
knowledge by clear, well-defined, varied,
logical and exhaustive questions, and of SO
wisely and judiciously correcting his er-
rOrs as to stimulate to greater care i'll the
future.
Youth thus trained will seldom speak
without thinking, or rashly venture an
opinion on every subject whether they
have investigated it or not. But do away
with the recitation, or let it degenerate in
to slipshod, loose, immethodical, blum
dering out of some of the general ideas of
the text book in a fog of words, and you
will fill the community with pest of con-
ceited babblers. And do aver that large
portion of the youth in our schools, are,
from a variety of causes Ito which | may
call attention hereafter) injured instead of
benefited by the school training they are
receiving. X TEACHER.

Where Did the Rich Man Go.

Little Johnny was preparing for Sunday
School, situated some distance away, when
his mother saw one of her neighbors
approaching in his vehicle. This neigh
Dor, by the way, was called 1.-THE rich
man." being both wealthy, kind-hearted
and liberal to the poor. Johnny ran out,
and the rich man took him into his vehi-
Gle as he was going right past the Sunday
School. It was very hot day, and so
johnny took off his shoes and stockings
to keep himself cool When they arrived
the exercises had already begun, and as
the man was going to church about a mile
beyond and had agreed to call for Johnny
on his return, he concluded not to put on
his shoes and stockings again, but leave
them in the vehicle. So he tripped light
ly into school and the rich man drove away
towards church.
His teacher was just hearing the lesson,
which, by the way, Johnny was not ac-
quainted with, which was the fate of the
rich man and poor Lazarus. Soon after
Johnny took his seat, it came his turn to
answer aquestion.
'"Johnny, can you tell me Where the
rich man Went?" sros.-..
"He went to the Baptist meeting, sir"
replied the littlelad thinking only of his
late companion. tL
".No, no, my son, the rich man went to
hell,p said the teacher with great impress
siveness, while the other scholars were
tittering with laughter.

The following sensible preamble and res

resentatives at Nashville on Thursday, by
Hon. H. r. Moore, of Franklin county,
and adopted:
WHEREAS, The question of the States
Indebtedness is one of grave import, de-
manding the most serious, and at the same
time deliberate consideration; and where
as, there exists much difference of opinion
in regard to the best means of disposing of
this subject; and, whereas, the question of
funding the State debt is surrounded with
many difficulties, and demands wise, and
not precipitate action and it is of the very
first importance that the Legislature should
provide amply for the liabilities of the
State, and in doing SO take no step back
ward.
And, whereas, we must look to the taxa.

money with which to meet said liabilities ;

Mother Goose mt a MYth.

Mr.. VIM. L. Stone, of this city, writes

Mother Goose, OF whom nothing certain is
known. :: But more than the
name history does not reveal In this
statement, however, the writer is in err
ror; for so far from Mother Goose being
a creature of fancy, we beg to assure him,
a veritable parsonage.
"The mother-in-law of Thomas Fleet,
the editor, in 1881, of the Boston Weekly
ReherSai, was none other than the original
Mother Goose-the Mother Goose of the
world-famous melodies. Mother Goose
belonged to wealthy family in Boston,
where her eldest daughter, Elizabeth
Goose, was married by Cotton Mather, in
to son. Like most mothers-in-law in our
own day, the Importance of Mrs. Goose
increased with the appearance of her
grandchild, and poor Mr.. Fleet, half dis
tracted with her endless nursery ditties,
finding all other means fail, tried what
ridicuie could effect, and actually printed
a book with the title: Songs for the
nursery, or Mother Goose's Melodies for
Children, printed by L. Fleet, at his
printing house, Pudding Line. Boston.

DISTRESSING CASUALTY.
A Nan Goes to Sleep on the Railroad Track
and Is Killed by Passing Train.

Whisky the Cause Of the Accident.
On Friday night distressing accident
occurred near Chatata, resulting in the
death of a man named Turner, wagon
maker, residing near thta place. Turner
had been to Ooltawah on business and was
returning home, but at Cleveland stopped
over until the arrival of the freight train,
when he asked the engineer if he could
ride. The engineer replied that he could
if he got ticket. Turner pulIe
five cents out of his pocket and said he
would pay that, but would get 10 ticket.
The engineer, not wishing to waste time
with drunken man, stepped in the Office
and bought a ticket for him to Chatata.
The train soon after left and on arriving at
Chatata, Turner got off and started to walk
home, which was on the railroad, about
mile distant, and was cautioned to keep off
the track, as another freight train would
pass in short time.
Turner, however, was i'll no condition to
pay any attention to the warning, and
laid down with his shoulders resting be-
tween the crOss-ties and his head on the
rail, the rest of his body being outside of
the track. In little while the freight
train came along at its usual deliberate
speed, but Turner was not yet quite over
come by his potations, and had sufficient
presence OF mind to get out of the way,
but SO narrow was the escape that the en-.
gineer told the circumstance to several,
not knowing the catastrophe that occurred
short time afterward.
The unfortunate man, unmin,lful Of the
risk he had run, lay down once more and
never again awakened in life. The pas
senger train passing within little while,
the pilot of the engine struck him on the
back of the head, the conclusion throwing
his head aside, SO that the wheels did not
pass over it. But when the train had
passed, his head was found resting on the
rail in the same manner in which it was
when struck; the neck was not broken,
and it must have been done by involun-
tary muscular action, as he made no strug-
gle after the Mortified passengers reached
him when the train was stopped. II
No wound was visible, except one OH the
back OF his head, through which the
brain was oOZing. He was breathing
when placed on the train, but died before
reaching Chatata. On arriving at that
station and learning who the man was
and where he lived Conductor DeArmond
ran the train back opposite his residence,
when the corpse was taken in. Mrs. Tur.
ner was aroused from sleep, and having
no intimation of the horrible accident was
so overcome with grief that she tainted
outright.
Turner was Il young man and good
workman, but was addicted to drinking
at intervals. A pint bottle of whisky was
in his pocket and quart in his satchel
when he was killed. He leaves a wife
and two little children.
Thus another is added to the long list of
{l,ox of, e s,,k1 l.Cyz
slain his thousands and David his tens of
thousands" but Alcohol has slain mil
lions, and is engaged in the murderous
work to this day.
