THE IMPORTANCE

OF the Normal School to this city cannot
hs overestimated. 1t brings to the town
yearly about three hundred regular students,
who make this their home for time.
In another year there il no
doubt but what the number will reach four
hundred, and 50 the school will increase
until there will be an attendance of seven or
eight hundred. The money WHICH this
number Of persons brings into the city is
alone an interesting item. To Prof p. ].

credit Of having fns proposed the location
Of the school here, and 70 them do the peo-
pie o5er their thanks for the success they
hsvs achieved In bringing i here.

il the Model School, under the charge Of
Prof. S. A. Felter, Of Topeka, and Mr.. T. +.
Riley, Of Wsthena. The instruction here
il put in practical a. veil a. a pleasing
form, -, for instance, the development OF
the perceptive faculties of the pupil being
put in play in the counting of money; pa
per bills, representing notes Of different de-
nomin.tions, are put in the child's hands
to count the result is marked down on a
piece of paper and subjected to an ex-
animation by the teacher A number of
cards, having marked on them certain
number of yards of cloth, are placed before
the scholars and pased from one u an
other: being bought and sold "a in the
usual trasaction Of bu-inesss, the price per
yard being given, and the pupils buying
one from another. A small ticket case is
also erected in the school-room, having
tickets from Learenworth 70 New York,
Philadelphis or Washington, wi h regu-
lar scale of prices; one pupil plays the part
of ticket agent and the Others buy from
him. This practical teaching enables the
scholar 10 think quick and accurately.
Prof. Felier is the Assistant State Superin-
tendent Of Instruction, is an educated gen.
tleman, and has taught in various parts OF
the Union With Uniform success. His a.
sistant, Mr.. l. F. Riley, is . teacher of
varied abilities, and a good instructor. The
pupils in the Model School are all FROM this

THE MAIN OBJECT

OF this Normal School is for the purpose Of
teaching teachers to teach in such man
ner that their pupils will advance az rap
idly as possible along the rugged road Of
learning. Too many district schools in
this and other States are mere practice
grounds for inexperienced men and women
who wish TO fit themselves for instructors.

THROUGH THE HEART.
Weary of Lifc-A Young Man ImmOlateS
Himself Upon the Altar OF unre-
quilted Love.

The reporter yesterday learned the
particulars of n sad affair that occurred
near Mansfield, in Tarrant county, on
Sunday evening.
For some time past young man
named Hughes, In the employ of Mr..
Cal. Wyatt, living near Mansfield, had
been paying his attentions to a widow
lady who, it appears, received them
with anything but Il reciprocal feeling.
On Sunday evening last he called at
her residence, and after a lengthy in
terview, arose and bid her goodbye,
saying, al expect to be in eternity in a
short time" She jestingly replied,
when he walked to the front door and
out on the porch, where he drew u pis-
toll and fired, the ball striking him in
the heart and killing him instantly.
Our informant was unable 10 give
information about Hughes, further
than that he had been residing in the
neighborhood for several Months, and
has borne the reputation of an honest,
Industrious young man.

Democratic Candidates.
70 the Editor of the Dallas Herald


The Fort Worth Democrat gives n
fling at Colonel Mccoy and Major
John Henry Brown, As candidates for
the convention, alleging that they are
opposed to u nominating convention,
and are influenced by q court house
ring in Dallas. There is not the shadow
of foundation for such insinuations.
Major Brown, from the first to the
present time, has OH all occasions de-
clared that whenever the democrats of
Dallas county saw fit TO hold precinct
meetings or elections for delegates to Il
county convention, he would abide
their action and support their nomina-
ton. He SO publicly stated at the
meeting on the 18th of April, and has
repeated it publicly and priv ately. ever
since, and has done nothing contrary
thereto. He has never in his life
had any connection with or obi
CATION to any ring whatever. If the
democracy now, late as it il, see
proper to hold primary meetings
in each election nrecincG of Dallas
county, whereby tile voice of the peo-
pie can be fairly expressed in their own
neighborhoods, on the same day, he
will abide their action. But 1t can
scarcely be expected that man who
was solicited to run by over thousand
democrats, largely farmers, would
withdraw upon the action of seventy
five to one hundred men in one neigh
borhood, on the extreme edge of the
county, who take upon themselves the
selection of delegates for every pre-
cinct in the county, without even the
4, Lodi nf fho na,,tl ON an nlanfa1
Doubtless the same facts apply to Colo
mel Mccoy. This neighborhood meet
ing, however respectable the persons
composing it, ignores all democratic
usage, ignores the county committee,
and assumes to act for three thousand
democratic voters who We're wholly
unrepresented, aud large majority of
whom never heard of the meeting.
Radical conventions are usually gotten
up in about that way, but ademocratic
convention, to have any weight, must
fairly spring from the people compos-
ing the party. Fair conventions or
none at all is true democracy.
Who represented precincts Nos. one,
three, four and five in the Lancaster
meeting? 1t is only pretended that
precincts one and two were repre-
scented. AS to precinct one, it is said
only one man was present OH his own
private choice, representing no one
else, and whose democracy is under
stood to be of recent birth. Precinct
No. gave 80l votes for Governor
Coke, Precinct No. 2, Lancaster,
200, Cedar Hill So, Hutchins SID gave
him 3l5 votes. How many were in
the Lancaster meeting, we do not
know, but presume scarcely a hundred.
Shall they assume to pick out men in
all the precincts as delegates, and call
il n convention representing the DEM
ocracy of Dallas county who had moth
ing TO do with it? Common self-re-
spect says no Besides, democracy
demands that representation shall
be fair and in proportion
to numbers. Two from each
precinct ignores that principle of
Justice. Our last democratic vote for
governor stood as follows, and allowing
one delegate for every twenty-five
votes and fraction over twelve, the
convention, to be fair, would stand
thus:
