Ee admitted that there had been no

property, although he had lately been
alb to show an apparent increase of
S35il5, $50. But he was candid
enough to explain that this increase
wa due to a change in the method Of
assessment, aud did not represent any
actual increase in the wealth Of the
State. In this respect the State had
stood still for five years.

THE Memphis appeal has lengthy
editorial on the recent convention at
Chattanooga, which it styles " A Con-
yention of Thieves" The closing
sentence of the editorial ia rs follows;
The convention is composed of
seedy, needy, plundering dead-beats,
and should command no more respect
than meeting of Sing Sing couvicts,
presided over by Tweed.
The sweeping assertion is made that
1t was II convention of thieves" and
it concludes that they are entitled to
no more respect than q meeting Of
Sing Sing convicts presided over by
Tweed The fact is, there were men
in that convention who have done
more in the last eight or nine years
for the prosperity of Tennessee than
the appeal has or will do in q century.
The sweeping statement is malignant
ly false, but we hear of no indignant
disavowals from Democrats who
know it is so, aud that it
is SANDER upon some of
the best men in the State fla Republi-
can speaks, his language isstricily con-
strued and he is held responsible for

Tic Mother.


Who is it that truly cducates the
child in humanity? Who possesses this
deyine ministry? The mother. She is
the prophecies who foresees the future
life, the sibyl who sounds the mysteries
Of the spirit, the Muse who brings TO the
heart human inspirations, the sorccrcss
who fills with sweet and pious legends
all our tancy, the pricstess who raises the
conscience to the regions of infinity.
From the moment when she feels her
child beneath her heart it appears as if
spirit and nature revealed themselves to
her mind to assist her in her divine
office, and thus She appropriates all IDEAS
to the child, as the bird weayes all the
rustic objects gathered in the fields to
form the soft nest other beloved offspring.
The mother knows instnctiyely the laws
Of health by which to preserve her child
from the inclcmencies Of the world. the
medicine with which to treat its constant
infrmities the morality which is to sustain
it in Its future struggles, the elitcraturowhich
sto emballish its days. the religion which
is to convert it into being superior to all
others Of nature, and which is to bear it
to the bosom Of the Infinite. All the
child needs in its early years the mother
bears in her intelligence, as she bears in
her breast its only nourishment Let us
make Of the school a mother This is
the thought Of Pestalozzi.
