THE SPELLING.SCHooL FEvER.-[From the
Cleveland Leader. l-Some time since, say a
month or so, there was saciable in full
blast in the trim little church at the corner
of Woodland avenue and Kennard streets,
and when other amusements ran low novel
proposition was made by.a young Water
street businessman that the city life aud re.
straint should be forgotten for awhile and
all join in an old. fashioned spelling school.
No sooner said than done, and the idea
was captured and put into life on the spot.
There were cityfed rustics there whose
memory reverted to old log school,
houses gone to rot in years long past, city
school teachers who remembered the VIVA
lisgs" received at the hands of country
"school. marms" long dead and almost for
gotten, and real city boys and giSs who had
heard Of country spelling schools but had
never tasted Of their sweets and sours. All
joined With hearty accord in the project
and the ball was put in motion.
The account thereof was published ina
half.joking manner ip theH Header, and the
prophecy uttered that "perhaps these city
.prlling-schools meant not Il mere expert
ment, but revolution, In SOCIAL amuse.
nlents," and the prophecy has been fulfilled,
as has been shown In these ACCOUNTS coIing
in from all sides.
The notice of the spelliugschool travelled
far and wide, and in less than a mouth the

Sundays Sermons.

rr0m ihe BOSTON auNcrtscr.J
REV. JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE on THE TEACH
INGS OF WASHINGTON.
The pastor OF the Church OF the Disciples
Yesterday preached Il sermon on the subject
OF George WushngtoD'S advice to the nation
as applied TO the present time, aud The pub.
lie announcement of the sermon drew u large
congregation, which filled the church.
Founding his sermon on the text, Proverbs
KIT: The memory Of the just is bleSsed,''
the preacher proceeded to compare the charac.
ter Of Washington with. those of jefferson,
Franklin, and Lincoln, whom he considered
the greatest men the country ever produced.
Jcflerson's superiority lay in his genius
Frankhn's ip bis intellect and Lincoln was
the most marked product of the patton
while Washington was superior in character.
No American ever excited such an influence
by the personality of his charac,e err. and his
advice should . still have the greatest
weigh; in the councils Of the natiop. The
preacher then referred to Washington
counsel as given in bis farewell address
particularly his warning against the tenden.
cicS to8ard secional!sm aud the encroach
ment Of the General Government upon loca
or State governments. He believed that the
impression that the late war had settled the
question of the security Of the Government
was u.grieyous mistake, aud that in some re-
Spects the Government WAS never in more
insecure condition than now. He believed
the late developments with reference
70 Louisiana were startling IN their sig
niticance, aud proceeded to discuss that
question at length, telling why, although
he bad always worked with the Repub.
lcan party, be bad signed the call for the
Faneuil Hall meeting Of protest against
the course Of the Administration. he be-
ieyed the act of Sheridan was direct viola
lion Of The rights OF the State OF Louisiana,
and thought that If similar act should be
commu.cd in Massachusetts, The very ones
who approved Of the act in Louisiana would
be the first 10 cry out against il. 1t might
be claimed that the cases were not paiallel !;
that tue protection of the blacks bad war
ranted the Governments course; but he said
that Louisiana was sovereign State as well
as Massachusetts,. and that it were better
that she had been kept in the condition
Of territory tban to acknowledge her
as State and then violate her sovereign
rights. The ianeied Interests of the
blacks should not be treated paramount to
the preservation OF "a fcpu Jllcan form Of gov
eminent; and be believed, too, that the true
interests Of the colored race were not adj
yanced by unconstitutional measures. He
referred also TO Washington's caution against
the influence of parties, and said that at pre-
sent The party had become the slave of the
caucus, and thst our liberties were threat
ened in consequence. lie closed with urging
the return TO The principles which the great
father Of bis country had laid down as es-
genital TO the existence of a truly republican
government.

exchanges from all quarters of The State came
in teemiug with accounts Of city spelling
schools. Church-sociables seemed to De the
chief nucleus around which they clustered,
although they occasionally travelled on their
own merits, and special occasions were DE-
voted to them. They were used for the pur-
pose of raising money for all conceivable
purposes, from the furnishing OF bioies 70
the beatheu to the carpeting OF church.
Countless dictionaries went for prizes;
countless heartaches were caused BY ignomin-
ious failures. unknown men achieved fame
in anight, and the sound Of jaw.hreaklpg
English was heard in the land. The last &C.
count Is that coming from Lima, where ?

TRAINED NURsEs.-I was by the bedside
of Young mother while three eminent ply
sicians were exertipg all their skill to save
her life. TIE nurse was simple old lady,
who would have done very well to rock
baby and nurse mother who only required
to be fed and kept quiet, but who was utterly
incompetent to take charge Of the patient in
her sinking condition. DR.. said to me,
Unless She has competent nurse she
must die" I remembered the Training
School, and drove directly to Bellevue Hos
pital and stated the case to the lady superin-
teudent Of the school,. In an hour led
bright, intelligent young woman into my
friends roon-a woman thoroughly trained
as medical and surgical nurse, capable of
watching and reporting the state of the pulse
and tenn perature, Of administering hypoder-
mics, and accustomed equally TO day and
night nursing. The doctor eyed her criti-
caIly for fe " moments, and then whispered,
"She'll do" Now, is it not blessing to
New York to have an institution where, at o
moments warning, we Gun get nurses care.

It IS fact worthy Of consideration that in
the many contests in spelling all around US
the hard words, so-called, are not the iatal
ones. The simple words are those Wnicn
bring down the spell,rs. So long as Inc
schooluastcr puts out bard Eogl,sa D
words the spoilers stand, but every now ana
then an "easy" word brings down the
game. For instance, in Medina spelling
School lately words of ever so many syla'
bles were mastered as easily as the A b Cs,
but the champion speler, who bad speiled
down the whole class, himself went down on
'collectabIe, spelling it with an !. AT another
:. bees pony kicked the champion out OF the
ring, the champion speler-not the pony,
putting in an ''e." So separate has proved
a fatal word, and we'll bet years subscrip,
ton that nine railroad men out OF ten VIII

chants Will spell balance with two IFS. We
