Qualification Of Teachers.

1t is much to be regretted that ouI
teachers are SO lily qualified to instruct
their pupils even in the first rudiments
of reading; and they are all so much
inclined to fall into bad habits, and the
imitation of faulty speakers, that it re-
quires constant watchfulness to keeI
clear of the influences of wrong bias
and false, and merely arbitrary rules
We can never succeed in this important
art until we take elementary instruc.
tion out of the hands of ignoramuses
and insist upon having persons fully
competent to take charge of the cause
Away, then, with the idea that any ont
can teach reading and speaking, merely
because he can call the letters, snt
speak the words so as to be understood

Sign Boards.

Why is it that there are not more sign
boards through the country? An ex-
tended trip through nearly every town.
ship reveals the fact that not one cross
road in three has boards there. s'Paint'
shows very good display but the bal.
ance are sadly deficient in this respect
1t would be but small matter for the
trustees to erect them. In fact, thinl
it is their duty to do SO.
One would naturally infer that /:
stranger ought to be acquainted witt
every road from the looks of things
but our trustees must not think so.
great deal of convenience is denied

The financial skies are growing
brighter. Reports from New York are
encouraging. Business will SOON nbegin
to move OH again. A good many banks
throughout the country suspended for
short time, which was better for them
selves and their depositors both. Busi-
ness has been effected more or less eve
rywhere. Merchants are selling goods
lower than every before, and just now
is very good time to buy goods.

Millinery Goods, Fancy Notions, SC.

a ie" oays aSo VIC acoep'eu All NV
tatlon TO attend an opening OF Iaii
styles at the new wholesale millinery
house OF Porter, Donaldson q Co., !H
Wood ST., thinking that we would give
our lady readers a description OF the
bonnets and styles. On visiting IL, anu
finding ourselves completely surrouh,
ded Dy the millihers OF the CITY anu
neighborhood, we found IL wouid oe
simply Impossible 10 give any descrlp-
ton of all the bonnets, that would be
at all satisfactory to ourselves or others.
Hence we shall only mention one or
two, and first, among those that seemed
to strike us, and come in for general
praise, was Il handsome velvet in two
shades of blue, the darkest shade being
the old cloth blue that our grandmoth-
ers wore, but now called marine blue,
the other light shade called cell blue.
1t was very handsomely trimmed with
a plume shaded to match velvets. The
face trimming was very simple yet very
pretty, consisting only of a bow OF light
blue gros-grain ribbon which brought
out in strong yet pleasing contrast the
darker shade of the velvet.
One of the handsomest was rich
olive velvet, trimmed with blue and
blue feathers. In all of them we were
struck with the odd shades and coll
trasts, using in so many instances two
shades Of the same color, yet as wide
apart as they possibly could be dyed.
Many new shades are introduced, old
favOrites of years ago brought back,
and some few, that have been struggling
for life, seem to have leaped into new
favor.
We noticed olive, prune, myrtle, sage,
the rich claret, the bright sultan, the
many shades of bronze, the delicate
blues and dainty lavender as predomi-
mating, and in them all found ribbons,
velvets and feathers, all to match each
other.
Everything seems to Indicate that
more flowers will be worn this fall than

From FrederIcksburg.

MEssRs. EDITOR: As letters from
fredericksburg are but a common oc-
currence we propose in the beginning
to omit the opening or commencement
with which letters for publication are
invariably begun, namely, the health
Of its citizens, the general business of
the town, &C., as We think they are
rather monotonous but would kindly
request small space in your paper for
a few comments upon the Sabbath
School Picnic, and its various games
and announcements of the day, which
took place Friday, Sept. 26th. The pic
mic was composed of union of the
Presbyterian, Methodist and United
Presbyterian S. S. The attendance was
moderately large, although twas not as
large as expected, considering the
strength of the several schools. AL
though the writer has particular aver
sion to Basket Pic-Nics, yet upon the
whole it was greatly enjoyed by the
writer as well as great many others.
After dinner both single and married
folks participated in a grand game of
"Blackman'' and "Ring." Some pre-
ferred something less laborious in its
nature and played Croquet, while still
others seemed to enjoy swinging. AT
ter carefully considering we can say
unhesitatingly that every one enjoyed
themselves and it was "good to be
there.'' Hon. James Monroe favored
the parents and children with very
fine address for which he was loudly
applauded. He also addressed politi-
cal meeting at Redett's Hall in the eve
ming. Mr.. Monroe's speech betOkened
a gentleman of fine culture, both NOR
ally and politically. Unlike the major
ity of political speakers, he didn't con-
fine himself entirely to the abuse of the
opposite party but his speech was high
er toned and of a more elevating char
acter. Mr.. Monroe is we'll worthy Of
the support of his party and should
have it by all means. The Fredericks-
burg Band was in attendance under the
direction OF Prof. En-. G.. Richards
whose proficiency as Band teacher
and leader is too well known to be dis
puted. A few out Of the many piece
played, were @child of.the Regiment
"Concert Polka" and"Just once more,
whose extreme difficulty is known only
to those who endeayor to play them
Fredericksburg has perfect right tt
be proud Of her band for taking int
consideration the time of its organiza
tion it isn't eXcelled anywhere.

LOafers.

/ OF all the animals which Providence
in his wisdom has provided for the pun
ishment of industrious and respectable
people, the loafer is the most intolerable
and infiicts the greatest torture. He
will thrust himself into your place OF
business-and chatter as vivaciously and
about as intellectually as a monkey for
hour after hour; he will in the very
midst of your profoundest labors, buzz
about your head like big wasp, and
all your thrusts, kicks, digs, punches,
groans, and agonizing sishs can
not drive the pernicious wretch from
his labor of torture. He will cling to
you with deadly tenacity. No sarcasm
is too sharp, no irony too stringing, no
rebuff too pointed and no rebuke too
cutting for his ten inch skull and rhi-
nocerous hide. In the face Ofall your
torture, he will tarry from hour to hour
and return frsm day to day, pouncing
like a hawk upon your paper before you
have read it eleyating his sinking feet
on your desk or table just under your
nose, squirting tobacco juice over your
floor, and annoying your patrons and
delaying your customers by his eternal
buzzing and internal squirting. When
he has become satiared with indoor
pleasures he win post his symmetrical
figure upon some street corner, and sur
rounded by congenial spirits, trifle away
the early hours of evening, or the long
tedious hours of a bright Sabbath. But
his corner loafing is no less pointless
than that of the Office, the shop or the
store. Here he will be ever on the alert
for speculation as well as pleasure. In
the pursuit of the first he will button
hole you for tobacco, hint you out of a
cigar, beat you out of drink, borrow
ten cents, and extort from you prom
ise of reward or favor in order to es-
cape the fHflicted agony of his tongue
and presence. In pursuit of the last he
will block up the pavement with an at
titude of grace; whittle box; scratch
a lamp post; ogle, like an owl, at all
who pass; stare with pert grimace in
the face of ladies, and have an infam-
GUS SANDER or scurrilous speech on his
polluted lips for the purest woman and
the youngest girl.
If there are those in our little city
who think this fancy sketch, let them
turn their glasses with perfect focus
on our Main street, not forgetting the
sacred shadows of our beautiful Rat
Row, and the intervening square to our
city Barnyard, and 1 am confident they
will be convinced, that what we have
written is truth without poetical en-
bellishment, or rhetorical eNaggrega-
tion r..
