SAYS THEY STOLE EIGHTEES HUNDRED
DOLLARS FROM HIM.-Several nights ago
Edward Burns, an elderly party. WAS out
on lark, drinking more strong mixtures
than was good for his health. He wandered
out among the unrepentant Magdalens, and
they 'stOod him up," going through his
pockets with dispatch that should entitle
them to situation ~ turnkey in Gala
boose. Having ssolen his wealth they told
him to suddenly depart for climate where
overcOats are not worn. Instead OF follow
ing their advice he hunted up police
headquarters, where he narrated his dOleful
experience. Detectives Dumas and Walsh
were instructed to hunt up the female pri-
vateers. They have been assiduOus in their
efforts to not only make arrests, but to Sc
cure the money: One OF the women had
gone into an eclipse, az she WAS not found
until yesterday. She was in the Parish
Prison, under an assumed name, and when
questioned concerning the robbery acknowl-
edged that she had been concerned in it,
but insisted that the amount stolen did not
figure up $500. Kitty Lowe, Jenny Pease
and Susan Annette are the accused, who
declare that they shared the plumber.

The varied resources of large sections

the contemplation Of some principal pro
duct that has been brought prominently
before the public to the exclusion of no
less valuable and useful products OF in
dustries. California was at first known
chiefly by its gold products; the South.
eln States chiefly by their production of
cotton, rice, tobacco and sugar. And
vet California's annual wheat exports ex-
ceed in value the annual exports OF gold,
and in the Southern States there are large
and valuable deposits of minerals and
ores. In Virginia, West Virginia, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama and Geor
gia, there are rich deposits of copper
iron, bituminous coal, marble, granite
slate, limestone, ,soapstone, fire clay ,marli
and phosphates. There has been as ye

him the officers of the Government at

tribes of the plains, Perhaps no man

of the language of the Comanches than
is possessed by Mr.. Jones. Mr.. Jones
was present at the massacre at Old Folt

Hints for Young Mothers.

The three requisites for babies are
plenty of sleep, plenty Of food, plenty
of flannel, The saying that man is
bundle of habits is as true Of babies as
it is of grown children. If an infant
is accustomed from its. birth to sleep
from six O clock at night until daylight,
the habit of early sleep will beformed,
and the mother may have all the even
inss to herself. If the baby sleeps all
night, long morning nap will naturally
come about dinner time, after which the
child; except when very young, shonld
be kept awake until six O'Clock: Per.

The OplnlDn Of Experts

Is that the army of occupation for Gu
ba would have to be about $4,000 men /;
and that it would cost in equipment,and
transportation to and on the Island,
$l50,000,000 per annum, while the navy
would cost about S50,000,0U0. In ex-
planation OF the last figure, and also OF
the present weak condition of the navy,
the officers say that the prices of every
thing required have greatly increased
since 1860, and war vessels. now cost
much more than they did then. Not
wthstanding the talk and hope of peace,
these topics are keenIy discussed in
official circles and the present defect OF
naval preparation is subject of great
anxiety to the Secretary No appre.
hension is felt in regard to the other
branch of the service. The deficiency
in the navy appropriation caused BY
the recent and prospective expenditures
is estimated at from twelve to fifteer
millions Of dollars.

school Teachinss

ED SPIRIT: Ihave no doubt most par
ties think it an easy matter "to teach the
young idea how to Shoot" bu. if any of
them think it is pleasant task let them
once undertake it,and they will find them
selves much mistaken In all our schools
every variety of disposition and conduct
is met with, and it is an impossihility for
the teacher to meet every case properly.
A good educator is seldom met with a
perfect one, never. That we have in this
county fair average class OF teachers l
have no doubt But the great want of
the times are teachers who know how to
govern themselves as well as their schol-
ars. Experience teaches US that teacher,
with very moderate requirements, who is
at all times able to govern himself and
his school, and has the faculty of making
his scholars understand thoroughly what
they are studying, is infinitely superior to
one who, even though he be a teacher. OF
very high attainments, yet has no
government of his own tongue and pas
sions nor of those of his pupils, nor any
faculty for imparting knowledge. lhave
even known teachers who 50 little under
stood the wants and capacities Of their
scholars as to shame and scold timid
child for not having its lesson well, when
that child had used all it's limited capacity
to master the lesson and even go so far
in his unjustiiable and understandable
abuse as to forever cause that child to
have an unconquerable aversion for him
in place of loving and respecting him.
Such teacher has mistaken his calling
and had better turn his attention to some
other business.
One of the greatest excellencies of .
teacher is to BE- able TO command the love
: and respect of his scholars He is
poor educator who governs his schoo
through fear aud abusive language, ,thel e
; by causing his pupils to thoroughly de
spise him.
> Another characteristic of some teach
; ers is the frequent use of what are calle'
} vulgarisms, such for instance, when ad
dressing pupil that may or may not, "a
the case may be need correction, IS "l'l
/, shake you out OF your boots;" "rll ts
2 your hide" "l'll warm your jacket !;
"Pll make you mind your p's and Us. y
All such expressions are wholly out c
place, and bespeak for the person usin
e them great lack Of the requisites Of
: competent teacher.
j, One can almost invariably form a
idea Of teachers by rninglfng with the
