The LUMBER TRADE.-Although business
Is dull, yet the Burlington lumber firms
seem to be doing little something. Shep-
ard. Davis & Co. sold over 900 600 feet Of
lumber the last month. and are now filing
large orders for M-lbourne. Australia, and
for Capetown.
Bronsons. Weston, Greene Il Co., sold
abodt the same amount last month, and
now have orders for Canton. China, and
New South Wales, Tor over six million feet
Of lumber.
Apparently these firms are not yet ready
to shut down and run on short time.

Children like to do better than to lea, n.
Though all school work should have
knowledge for it's objective point, yet
discipline cannot be entirely neglected;
and the young teacher will often find it
a good plan to set children a-doing
something, such as ma~ing numerical
tables, or copying from their readers,
for the sake of keeping them busy and
out of mischief
After control of the school is gained,
however, such merely mechanical wolk
is useless,and ordering it done is mark
Of shiftlesness on the teachers part.
By a little thought and little work
placed on the blackboard before the
opening Of school, pupils can be kept
busy with legitimate tasks, thus calling
for thought and giving information, as
we'll as keeping the school occupied.

The Winter session of the public
schools in Red Wing, closed last
week with the usual examinations.
1t is real pleasure to visit these
schools at any time, and observe
how cheerfully and orderly the work
goes on. But examination week IS
clothed with more than ordinary in
terest. The public were espeacilly
and cordially invited to be present,
but with few exceptions all forgot to
go until the last half day. Happen
ing to be one of the exceptions
we feel prepared to say that the ex
ercises were conducted in such a
manner as to be very interesting,
and must result in real benefit to
the schools. Visitors were request
ed to ask. questions at any time
they chose, and they often did SO.
And in some instances doubtless
annoyed the teacher and scholars
very much, asking questions for
which there were no answers in the
book. Teachers should know that
it is the subject which is to be
studied rather than the text book.
The advantages Of such examlna-
tons are, the real knowledge
of pupils IS thoroughly tested,
while the teacher can see his own
deficiencies.
No attempt was made by any
teacher, whose school we visited, to
show off what was not really known
nor to conceal defects. AS a whole
the examinations were creditable to
teachers and scholars. Two things
appeared to need more attention IN
every school; namely, reading and
spelling-the last not least. Many
things are taught in our schools
now; such as drawing, vocal music,
natural history and physical exer-
clses, all of which are useful: but is
there not some danger in adopting
too much that may be called useful,
and neglecting that which is abso-
lutely necessary
The exercises of the Grammar
and High school on Friday, P. NJ,
called out large number of visitors
But the speaking and reading with
perhaps two or three exceptions,
was evidently below par. The ut
terances were much too low, too
fapid and indistinct to be heard and
understood. There is room for i'm
provement even in our best schools.
Nothing is more uppleasan than
loud, harsh, or sharp voice in a teacher
But the worst Of the matter is, that the
possessors of such voices are inordinate-
ly fond Of using them. From opening
to close Of school, poor children must
sit under the aural inaiction. Teach
ers with lungs hardly strong enoug Oh to
keep them alive, will use those lungs as
with forty-horse power, when the ord-
nary conversational tone would be tho
fitting one to use. The boys in our
large cities had in use few wears age
a vicious instrument of music, which
they fonIIy called the devils fiddle.
Whatever imp invented it must have
been inspired with IL feeling of revenge
towards saw-filer> and loud-yoiced
teachers

Our neighbor Of the Telegram,
proposes, in order to get rid of a
liquor saloon that has been erected
near the Postoffice, that the Post
Office should be removed. We
think it will be admitted by the
liquor sellers of our city. that we
have a. determinedly opposed their
accursed traffic as our brother Sur
face; and we give him the credit of
the above suggestion in the interest
of morals. Now, would it not be
equally as beneficial to religion, as
the Episcopalian Church is quite as
near the liquor saloon complained
of as the Postoffice, to get up q
meeting, and pr tition the Trustees
of that denomination to move their
church to another part of the city,
out of the immediate vicinity of
that liquor saloon? With due rev
erence for the cause of religion, we
submit our suggestion is quite as
sensible as that of our neighbor of
the Telegram.

The next election for members Of
the Forty fourth Congress. occurs in
New Hampshire, on Tuesday, March
9th. and the next succeeding in Con
necticut, early in April. In one or
two of the Southern States the cleo
ton does not come off until Novem-
Der, the States being unrepresented
from March 4th until the members
elected in November receive their
certificates. After the present year,
however. all Congressional elections
will be held ON the same day. namely,
the Tuesday after the first Monday in
November in the even numbered
years This change will be a great
convenience and will ultimately result
in the holding of all general elections
on that day. Pennsylvania has al
ready changed. and Ohio and Iowa
are discussing the propriety of doing
so. When these three States are all
changed, the October elections"
which, in Presidential years, have
heretofore exercised so great an in
iuence on the main struggle, will
cease to be of interest.

As Usual.

In reply {, the petition of quite a
large number Of our citizens, urging
the city authorities 10 use more vigi-
lance in prosecuting violators of law,
State and corporate, Mayor Elder
breaches them quite sermon, and. as
usual, skuks behind the excuse that
il Is not HIS duty or the duty of the
police to hunt out cases, and reminds
the petitioners that an affidavit must
always frst be made by some one of
them having knowledge of violations
of the law, and then. and not until
then, can the authorities act-who are
mere machines, only moving as they
are moved! We respectfully refer the
huge machine that occupies the po-
sition Of Mayor of this city. to the
powers and duties of that officer, as
set forth in the Charter under which
our city is supposed to be acting, as
sufficient answer to his special plead
ing:
Sec II. 1t shall be the duty of
the Mayor to see that the laws OF the
State and by laws and ordinances of
the Common Council be -faifhfnlln-0.-
conscryator of the peace, and, as such,
shall have, within the city limits, the
power conferred upon justices of the
peace for that purpose; TO EXERCISE
SUPERVISION OVER sUBORDINATE Of
TIGERS, and to recommend to the
Common Council such measures as he
deems for the public good, &c.
In the case of a peddlar selling his
wares without license, does he wait
tor citizen to swear out a writ
against him, before he is brought up
before him and fined? No. He ex-
erciscs the supervision over subordi-
nate officers" with which he is en-
powered. and tells the POLICE to bring
mp the unlicensed individual to be
punished according to law. All the
petitioners want is for the Mayor to
treat ALL violators of law, within the
city, in the same manner he treats
peddlars. We acknowledge that citi-
Gems. having knowledge of violations
of the law, should do their duty in
the affidavit line; but the Mayor has
also duty 10 perform, which he has
taken solemn oath to do. to "see
that the laws OF the State and by laws
and ordinances of the Common Couu-
ell be faithfully executed and he
can not evade or shirk his duty with !
out committing moral perjury.

It is noteworthy fact that in all
the Northern States taken together
the Democracy polled fewer votes
in 1874 than in 1872, it's apparent
gain IN these States being due to

publican voters. But IN eight
Souther States the Democracy had
a majority of 300. 900 showing that
the strength of the party still lies in
