A NEW WAY TO SECURE SCHOOL
ATTENDANCE.-We commend the
following to our coming legislators
as a most wise method for securing
attendance upon our public schools:
The educational law passed by
the last Texas Legislature fixes the
compensation Of teachers Of public
schools in that State at ten cents
per day for each pupil in actual at
tendance.
Would there not be going out
after the little ones by our teachers
if the teacher were to receive ten
cents for each days attendance Of
each and every scholar? We be-
lieve that it would result in making
a deep interest on the part Of the
teacher in each pupil, the school

1.-TWO of the most formidable en-
emies against which the working
men have to contend, are whisky
and tobacco. They not only work
irreparable injury to body and mind,
but they contribute more to his deg
radiation and enslavement than all
other elements combined. They
surround him by poverty, clothe
his children in rags, and compel
them to grow up in ignorance,
while the father, the victim Of the
destroyer of his happiness, is placed
in a DEPENDENT condition, a condi-
ton which too often approximates
or resembles the worst form Of ab-
ject slavery. He is subjected to
oppression, often imposition, and,
finding himself penniless, he SUBJ

Apt to Teach.

One can hardly fail Of observing
the improvement that has been
made in the management Of our pub
lie schools, within few years past.
The improvement extends into
nearly all our rural districts.
The scholars do not rush in, and
out the school room like a flock of
panic stricken sheep any more. AS
a general thing there is order in ev-
cry necessary movement, connected
with the recitations of the several
classes.
There have been decided i'm
provements made in the methods Of
lmparting instruction, especially to
beginners in knowledge. For these
improvements, we are in a measure
Indebted to normal schools and
teachers Institutes.
Bnt in respect to one very essen
tial point, many teachers are sadly
deficient. They are not apt to teach.
It would seem that no amount of
normal school training can give this
very important qualification.
In visiting one school we are
delighted in seeing everything go on
so cheerfully, and orderly. The
class reciting are all eager attention;
the remainder of the scholars are
busy at their seats. No one idle,
none trying to make sport; and no.
body has the sulks. The teacher
appears perfectly composed and
yet earnestly at work.
= Visit another school and we find
external order, but in everything else
the reverse Of the above. One is re-
minded of long team of stubborn
and refractory animals drawing a
heavy load through the mud. The
driver is exhausting his patieoce in
urging, coaxing and pushing them
on.
The difference between these
schools, lies in the fact, that one
teacher has an aptitude for teaching
the other has not.
TO some extent this ability is nat.
ural, and yet it must be susceptible
of great Improvement. For those
who snow themselves as possessing
it to the highest degree, are teach
ers of the longest experience. En-
deavor to improve the talents you
possess by all the means in your
power. The great genius who is a
real benefit to his race, is always the
great toiler.

In using Paris green to e1terminate
the potato bugs, the poison should be
mixed with the cheapest grade of -four,
one pound of green to ten of flour. A
good way Of applying it to the plants is
to take an old 2 quart tin fruit can,
melt off the top, and put in a wooden
head in which insert broom handle.
Bore a hole in the head, also, to pour
the powder in, and punch the bottom
full of holes about the size of No. 6
shot. Walk alongside the rows, when
the vines are wet with dew or rain, and
make one shoot at each hill.
In some parts of the country, there
have been large numbers Of the orchard
or tent caterpillars, which have left
their rings Of eggs on the young twigs.
If these are now cut off with clipping
pole, it will prevent in every instance
a large nest of caterpillars, and be much
more easily done than after the latter
have grown.
Equal proportions of turpentine, lin
seed oil, and vinegar, thoroughly ap-
piled and then rubbed with flannel, is

ter from Suncook, and that "they are very
reticent as to what evidence was obtained,
but it is understood that they have in their
possession facts of most important char
acter to implicate him." 1t is further
stated that La Paize had made some sort
of confession to Detective Sargent, but
he declined saying what it was. Three
girls from Pembroke were taken to the
Concord Jail on Sunday, where they posi-
lively identiie La Paize as the man who
had chased them in the night on several
occasions. On the Saturday before the
murder was committed, Mr.. and Mrs, Hi
ram Towle, of Pembroke. were riding along
about fifty rods from where the murder
was committed, when they met a man
carrying club of sawed wood about 81
feet long and an inch square, such as was
found near the scene of the murder and
which they thought might be the same
one, though they could not tell positively,
as they noticed the man more than the
stick. He carried the stick behind him in
both hands. They visited the Jail Sunday
morning and identified La Paize as the
man they met, picking the coat he wore
out from number of others. The detec-
tives express decided opinion that La
Paizeis guilty of the Pembroke murder.
Several parties from Pembroke have visit
ed the Concord Jail, and identified La Paize
as man seen, from time to time, lodging
in and about the woods in Pembroke. The
Jail is securely guarded. and there will be
no possible chance for his escape.
All the kilograms to city papers persist
in calling La Paize, La Page" The st.
Adams papers say his name is Joseph La
Paize, by which he was known while re-
siding there.
The latest advices. received Wednesday
morning, announce that the detectives
state that they have secured enough evil
dence against La Paize to procure his i'm
mediate indictment on the charge of muir
dering Josie Langmaid.
