The public schools here arc prosper
ing finely. The parents of children
should visit the schools at least once
or twice month; nothing gives a child
more encouragement than TO see thai
their parents are interested in their
studies. We called on 4 family tho
other evening, and we found the chill
dren reviewing their lessons for the
next DAY, the mother assisting them
whenever they needed assistance, and
we know the teacher has 70 trouols
with those children. If parents would
ONLY keep their children ut home nights
and help them on in their studies. and
take an interest in them, we would
hear fewer COMPLAINTS and al would
be well.

II. Z. Hull, of Parkersburg, has
moved his Art Gallery to Court ST.,
(north sidc) near the United States
Hotel. The rapid improvement in the
Photographic art, and to meet the
wishes ofhis many friends and patrons,
has induced him to fit up rooms more
convenient and better adapted to the
profession. He has fitted up the art
gallery on the first floor, where You
can visit it whether you want pictures
or not. Close to it, and very conven-
lent, is the Glass Room, fitted up with
all the modern improvements. We
have no hesitancy in saying. that in
every department it is the very best ar
ranged Gallery in the city, and second
to none in the State. Do not forget
the placc-Court Street-entrance on
the first floor.

BE Careful What You Say.

But talk Of those who sin,

And from that point begin.

Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not Ike his company,
We know the world Is wide.

Perhaps VIC may for &ugi.t we know,
Have Fifty 70 their one.

And find it works full we'll
TRY nv owu defeats to cure,
Before Of others tell;
And though sometimes hope to be
No worse than some l know,
Nv own short comings bid me let
The faults Of others 90.
Then let Us all when we commence
To SANDER friend or foe.

To those we !it,lc know;
Remember, curses sometimes, like
Our chickens, ''roost at home
Don't speak of others faults until
We have none Of our own.

phenomena were observed above and
about US as in its coming on. We left
the top of the peak, however, while
fully half the face of the moon was still
obscured. Taking last lingering look
at all about us, observing that our sea
wss again assuming the hue of amber,
and that the horizon was widening in
all directions, as the light spread abroad
ard drove back the brown and the
black, we plunged down into the thick
cloud stream, and guided by the light of
our lanterns, made the best of our way
down huge gorge in the face of the
maintain, and back into the city.
Strange as it may appear. we found it
much warmer in the midst Of the clouds
and snow them above on the peak Of the
mountain. Not one of our party will
ever forget this total eclidse of the moon
as seen from old Mount Davidson's
topmost peak, 5000 feet above the leve
of the sea.

A STRANGE DREAM FULFILLED

A STRANGE DREAM FULFILLED.
The Rev r. w. Lewis, in his Rem~
iniscences of the War, published in the
Texas Christian Advocate, relates the
annexed remarkable instance as liter
ally true. The battle referred to was
that Of Prairie Grove, in northwest Ar.
kansas, fought Dec.7 1862:
"a curious fulfillment of a dream
occurred at the battle under my own eye.
A man by the name of Joe Williams had
told dream to many of his fellow
sold iers, some OF whom had related it to
me months previous to the occurance
which now relate: He dreamed that we
crossed a river, marched over mountain
and camped near church located inawood
near which erribie battle ensued, and
n a charge just as we crossed the ravine
be was shot in the breast. On the ever
N emorable 7th Of December, 1862, as we
moved at double quick to take our place
in the line Of battle, then already hotly
engaged, we passed Prairie Grove church
small frame building, belonging to the
Cum berand Presbyterians. l was riding
IN the flank ofthe command, and opposite
to Williams, as we came in view of the
house. That is the church, colonel. I
saw in my dream he said; made no
reply and never thought of the matter
again until the evening. We had broken
the enemy's line. and were in full pursuit
when We came upon dry ravine in the
wood, and Williams said: just on the
outer side of the hollow | was shot in nv
dream, and will stick my hat under my
shirt Suiting the action to the word as
be ran along, he doubled it up and
cranmed it in his bosom. Scarcely had
he adjusted it before mimic ball
knocked him out Of line. Jumping up
quickly he pulled out his hat, waved it
over his head, and shouted "I'm all
right. The ball raised black spot
about the size Of a mans hand Just
over his heart, and dropped into his
shoe"
