THE KINDERGARTEN.

The Introduction Of the "kindergarten'
into several cities OF the United States
has called attention TO this system Of
infant instruction. The "kindcrgarten
or child.garden Is German institution
which owes its origin TO Frm5el, native
of Oberwessbsch, q village in Ihurin-
gian forest. Fre0el was born in l1s3 and
was the son Of a Protestant minister.
His early childhood was unhappy, tho
treatment Of his father toward
him being characterized by the
greatest severity. His mother died
and the boy was given into tue
charge Of maternal uncle whose kind
ness was in direct contrast to the unkind-
ness he had always received from his
father. FrGbel was siteFwsrd appren ticed
20 Il forest keeper, whose email seak Of
books were open TO his researches. lie
had a great thirst for knowledge and up
on making the acquaintance of the school
masters Of his neighborhood, determined
% adopt their profession ss his own and
TO that end pursued HE studies ia Ger
many and Switzerland. After the war
y. 1873, in which he served, he opened
at Keilhsu, IN Tburnga the fret X md

accordingly Children from two to fsy

please, which would excite the mind
of even the least Of them, and when eve
in play would require labor and ingenui..
on the part Of the children, was provided
for their amusement. No books weT
used, the object being 10 develop the In

The Democrats In California and Ms
sour are tayurug the country, heaven
knows for what reason. with addresses
upon the political situation. These fell
lows are like Dawes. the Republican can
didate for Senator from Massachusetts,
they speak like an angel but they vote
like the devil himself. They want to re-
form the abuses from which the country
Is suffering, They declare that the Ma
t,onal Administration is corrupt. (They
are not far wrong there. They are in
favor OF economy, of a reduction Of taxes,
of the costs of transportation and re-
turn to specie payments, etc. But what
do they dof How do they vote? In
California they join hand and glove with
the railroad; vote away the water front
of San Fancisco, etc. In Missouri they
hold prolonged legislative sessions, in
crease the burden OF taxes, do not re-
press disorder,an cut up all sorts Of dis
reputable shines. Then at Washington,
what do they do there? They unite with
that aboninable villain Butler. They
join in the salary grab. They help to
initiate the currency and anything else
that they have a notion to, when there's
money in it. The result of all this is
very plain to be seen, that both sides
are tared with one brush and are equally
dirty. There is one, sole, single argu-
ment they have; the only appeal they
make to the public is "your another"
style. The Republicans say Democrats
did so and so, and want to stay in or get
in, and the Democrats say exactly the
same thing. They are sweet youths, all
OF them. Now the best thing that both
sides, or either of them, can do is to talk
less and do more. When in power show
that they will live up to their profession,
quit stealing and do the best their abili-
ties will permit for the public good
That is the way to earn the peoples con-
fidence. and no other. Speechifying ad-
dresses and protestations are becoming
ont of order.

a coEEEsPoNDENT Of the Chronicle
writing from Mineral Park, Arizona
March 18th, says: The threatened war
with the Hualapai Indians seems to be
over and confidence is again restored
Citizens from the outposts, who were
engaged in mining and ranching, have
again gone back to their labors On the
18th inst. all of the Hualapai tribe re-
turned to Beale's Springs. Serum, the
head Chief, is still out, but the Indians
who have returned say that he will be in
within few days. What pleases the
citizens at present is to learn that as
soon as these indians came in and gave
themselves up they were surrounded by
an armed force Of United States troops,
marched up to headquarters and dis
armed. After this they were fed and
cared for, but the Chiefs and Captains of
the tribe were put in irons, thus render
ing them perfectly harmless. There may
be some hundred ont yet, but they will
be soon captured, if they do not come in
voluntarily, as we learn that troops now
occupy their stronghold, in the heart of
the Hualapai country.
