A Few Words about Flowers.
and cooperation

Spring brings with it desire to see
things grow out of doors, and the long
winter, which has kept US pent up in
the house, gives us, the first warm sun
ny days, d longing to be out looking af-
ter the welfare of the flower garden.
There are some people who are ever
chasing after plants, shrubbery, seeds,
&C., but who, after the excitement is
over, forget that such things ever were,
until they chance to come into your
garden and see your beds of lovely pam
sizes, bright-eyed daisies, petunias,
stocks, and catch the fragrance Of
your mignonnette, then they wonder
why such things will no: grow for them
as well as you. Ask them how they
treat their garden, and they will tell
you they sowed the seeds after having
their beds made nicely, spending much
time in arranging and making mounds,
&C., but they dried out, the seeds didn't
grow and the weeds grew so fast that
they couldn't bother their heads with
them. Now, flowers will not thrive
without proper treatment. We cannot
have a fine thiny without paying for it
in some way. If the soil be sandy,
beds should be made level, never raised.
A border of pinks or anything to please
the eye can be placed around the out
side to keep them in place. l prefer
the dwarf iris, as the roots being coarse,
it is easy to keep them free from weeds.
1t IS much better to SOW seeds in hot
bed and transplant when large enough
than risk them in the open ground
They can be crowed in small space
by having the hot-bed made properly
keeping shaded through the heat of the
day, watering we'll at evening, and, as
fast as large enough, removed to the
open ground.
There are SO many varieties put
down in the catalogues of noted seeds
men, that it is an easy matter to make
selection, keeping in view the hardi-
ness Of the plants, remembering that
! this is a cold climate, and half-hardv
or tender varieties will not do at all.
And now, few words about novel
ties; don't buy them; they, like town
! lots, look very fine pictured on paper,
but as for myself, l would as soon ouy
a package Of the seed of Canada thistle,
for then should not be disappointed,
the plants would grow, and l would get
just what paid for.

This is not as it should be-. We are
OVERRIDING the business of testing chill
dren's information. Some years ago
examinations were neglected and so one
great educational force was allowed to
lie dormant; now the amount Of exam
ination especially written makes
school-work drudgery to the pupil and
the principal. Without claiming to he
a prophet, we predict that this practice
of written examination will be made so
irksome that judicious school boards
will prohibit it altogether, and instruct
principals of schools to watch daily pro-
gress of their several classes and pro-
mote pupils on the basis of such OBJ
servation.
CULTURE is another attribute of the
best society. 1t does not depend on a
college diploma, for there are many
Bachelors of Art and Maids of Art who
are iosuferable idiots. The question
is not what you have studied, but what
you have learned. Some claim they
have finished their education-the new
ly fledged boarding school miss OF soci-
ETY., the student Of theology or medicine;
and with most of them, it is true they
have literally finished their education,
for they will never learn anything more.
Mental growth is not limited by physical
growth. There is majestic complete
ness about Humbolt, who kept on grow
ing mentally until he was four score.
People who think there is nothing to
be learned are not wanted in the best
society. Courage is also virtue Of the
best society; large part of Sin is cow
ardice; of virtue, courage. The best
society stands on the basis of good will,
and is to be elevated by competition
and cooperation.

ment into the government Of nation.

the insane enthusiasm of the masses in

DR.. CLARKE gives assent to the the

We Gull from the Zumbrota Mde-
bendenf the following ideas as hav-
ing been brought out by the persons
named:
Mrs. Sargent said: :-reacahers
should be careful to be neat in per-
son, clear and concise in question
ing; being very careful not to con-
vey any idea Of the answer. They
should be careful to adapt the ques-
ton to the ability of the child. Pu-
pills should be taught to be cleanly
in person; to sit or stand in cor
rect position They should give
undivided attention to recitat1ons :;
should criticise each other, and give
clear, concise and correct answers.
Rev. Mr.. Rork spoke of what
teachers ought to do for themselves;
there were Dut few who possessed a
natural fitness for the work. and
they were probably the only ones
who would ever become frst-class
teachers. These teachers should
strive to become thoroughly fitted
for their work, and, he thought,
ought to keep at it as long as they
lived, and deserved a pension.
Teachers should study their own
abilities, and how to govern them
selves, that being the first and best
help towards having good govern
ment in schools.
Supt. Hancock said that the ques-
ton to be decided was not educa-
ton or no education, but what kind
of education! Education was but
a natural growth of the mind, and if
the child did not get an education
in school he would get one on the
streets. He made the statement
that it cost less to educate twelve
children, than to care for and pun
lsh one criminal.
~ Rev. Mr.. Groser said teaching
was holy trust, and must be ans
< wered for at the Judgment Day.
that morality was based upon the
word Of God: that an educated bad
man was worse than an uneducated
bad man; therefore, the heart
should be educated as we'll as the
mind. He stated that knowledge
Religion and Morality were all nee
essary to good government: that
society always had been, and always
would be ruled by the predominant.
ing character Of the people; that the
Bible should be used in school. bu
not as a textbook.

the claimant of the Tichborne estates,
and his equally disgusting advocate, DR..
Keneally. "-*. -~>>~, Il.
Such miry clay as the hundreds of
thousands who shout themselves hoarse
for these two men, and the voters who
send one of these men to Parliament,
may well be regarded by all sensible
men with fear and distrust, just as the
voters who supported Tweed in his in
famous career, and would probably do
so again, are to be dreaded here.
Certainly, if such voters are to con-
stitute the majority in State and take
the management in their own hands,
the effect would not be different than
that of miry clay in the feet and toes
Of the image-namely, to bring down
the whole superstructure.
The advantage of universal suffrage,
however, is that it forces or should
force the intelligent and wealthy classes
to provide for the education and eleva-
tion Of the ignorant and depraved class
es-and would that this duty were bet
ter understood. It is not additional
colleges for the education Of the few
that are so badly wanted as additional
means for the instruction and elevation
Of the many, and among those means
should be the dissemination of Chris
tian newspapers.-N. ?. Fitness.

W. E. Poe, asks:-Is any person
who is Ineligible to vote in any
election in this State suitable per-
son to hold the Office of trustee in
any school district? Would their
proceedings be legal?
We have submitted the above to
the Attorney General, and his opin-
ion is, that while such person can
not hold the office Of trustee, yet il
elected, the acts and doings of such
person while acting as such trustee
if otherwise regular would be held
as binding upon the district.

"Shall women," exclaimed Lucy
Stone in public lecture at Provi.

arms, awoke, and, in protest to some
motherly correction, cried out lusti

Ell sabado % de agosto recibi6se
por la prensa de L6ndres un telegra-
ma que cause allf una tan profunda
como desagradable impression. Decfa
Sc en- este despacho, fraguado indu
dablemente por los laborantes de ia
maica y apadrinado por la agencla
Reuter-, que un cubano exvoluntarlo
Ilamado LUIS Vergas, a causa de unos
artfculos que habia escrito en- Santo
Domingo contra ell gobierno espaf1ol,
habia sido arrebatado del vapor de la
Real Mala inglesa Elder gracias a 60
soldados espafloles que en- embarca-.
Clones armadas abordaran ell buque

ton que habfa enviado al Gobernador

la altiva nacion inglesa fue la estupen
da noticia de que Vergas habla sido

te telegrama de imposturas surtio ell
efecto que su maligno autor Sc pro
puso. Ell domingo % no hubo peri6-
dicos en- L6ndres con motive de la
festividad del dfs, pero ell lunes 80
aquella prensa, modelo de cordura y
de buenas formas, no pudo menos de
hacerse eco de la penosa sensacion de
aquel pueblo tan grande como sus-
ceptible. Asf es que un diario tan sesu
do como ell Standard, que habfa de-
fendido a Espa1a en- la question del
VirginiHs hacienda patente So notoric

cabecilas que conducia, exclamo di-
ciendo: "En vano buscamos ahora una
circumstance atenuante en- ell asesina

mas que consideraciones agravantes."
Y ell citado periodico Sc deshacfa en-
insultos contra ell general Lanz (asf lie
