The Centennial.

the Los Angeles Star, as follows, on
leaving Philadelphia:

So u1rnIng Around.

From The Prescott Miner of July 81
The board of supervisors met July
and canvassed the returns of the cen.
sus marshal for this county, J. II. Be.
han, Esq, and it appearing to the
board that said returns are true and
correct, the board ordered q warrant
drawn for 800 in favor of J. II. Be
han being at the rate of $40 day for
forty days during which time he has
travelled into every portion of the
county and been constantly on the
alert.
August II, the Miner admits that
this same marshal obtaiued the names
of large number of people of q local
ity which he did not visit, and speaks
of "cOrps of nearly dozen depu
"ties." July 81, The Miner declared
the marshal travelled into every portion
of the county; August II, it admits he
did not.
But in excuse for the paper it is said
that the editor must "fsh or cut
" bait defend whatever is done inI
this connection right or wrong. I'll
may be true, which makes his case pit
liable enough. The whole paper of
August II, so far as it relates to the
census, shows uphill work and may
it be said with some credit to the writ
ter, that the labor was anything but
desirablef But considering the mate
rails with which the labor had to be
performed, the task was done as well
as ought to have been expected.

why No Mail Service.

The people about Camp Apache and
Springerville are informed that the
reason no contract was let for mail ser
vice on the route from Goodwin
through their places, is because no bid
was made by anybody. Delegate Ste
vens informs us that this is a fact and
shows that neither he nor the Depart-
ment Is at fault An advertisement
calling for proposals was published as
usual, and no one responded to it Mr.
Stevens will do what he can TO get the
Department to again invite proposals
for the service, and when he again sue
ceeds, those nearly interested should

WASHINGTON, August 8.-After the
adjournment of the Senate yesterday,
the Republican Senators held a eau.
Gus, which lasted nearly two hours, but
resulted in no formal action. The sub
jects discussed were the unfinished Ap-
preparation bills and adjournment.
The discussion indicated q determine
tim on the part of large majority to
remain in session indefinitely, unless
the House will consent to adjust the
differences on the Legislative, Execu-
tive and Judicial Appropriation bill on
the same basis of compromise which
has been carried into effect regarding
others, namely, to appropriate reduced
amounts but to refer the propositions
to commissioners of inquiry, to sit dur
ing recess, and report to Congress at
the beginning of its next session.
WASHINGTON, August 3.-The House
proceedings yesterday make it evident
that the silver bill cannot be passed
this session, except by q two-thirds
vote.

character really was. arrived at his
house one wet, chilly evening in Febru-

had cried because the lamb was out in
the cold, and begged him to bring it in,
which he had done to please the child,
his adopted son, then not two years old.
The ferocious man does not do that;
and though General Jackson had his
passions and his violence, they were for
men and his enemies who stood up
against him, and not for women and

all of whom his feeling were those of

The great old patriot is gone from
earth to heaven, and there never can
scarcely ever be name connected with
the history of this country that will be
more priced or held in higher estimation
than that of Andrew Jackson.
True man-staunch friend, and true
patriot-he loved his country and its
institutions, and was, all through long
and eventful life, devoted to its honor
and best interests. He loved the people,
and always felt that they would stand
by him in all his political acts, because
they believed that he would ever serve
them truly and faithfully.

THERE are a great many things lost
that are found again, and o great many
Others that are lost and never found.
There are regulations lost which cannot
be gained; there are hopes lost, which
come not back again; there are joys and
friendships lost; there are thoughts and
talents lost, which are never found.
Every man has at some time lost some
thing, which lie would give the world if
it were his, to recover. It may have
but a single pearl from the thread of
friendship, or mere hope of his soul,
but it was precisely dear to him and life
is sad and dark without it. The small
est things are oftentimes the dearest 10
the heart of man. a. Tor instance, little
wife, little heir, little fortune, little
hone. What wonder, then, that, when
they are lost, he would give everything
he had for their recovery.

THE following trathful criticism is ut
tered ed;torialiy by The National Teach
ers' Monthly: 'For people who have
been apparently so well drilled in wri-
ting compositions during their school
life it is strange what a small percentage
of Americans can write a simple letter
with ease or correctness. Tie cause, in
our opinion, IS is TO be found in the way
in which composition is taught in the
great majority of schools. In the first
place, it is commenced too soon, Be
fore the child has either ideas or yoeab-
ulary he is called IN to write a 'compo-
sition.' In the absence of his own, he
borrows them from the most accessible
source. The result Is that nine eases
out of ten the composition is number
of unmeaniDg phrases, blended in such
a way as 10 betoken industry if not hon
esty on the part of the pupil, and culpa-
BILE negligence or downright ignorance
on the part OF the teacher who does not
detect the plagiarism and prevent its
recurrence. Another cause-and this is
peculiar to the high schools and colleges,
so called-is the use of false eloquence

OF written examinations the Nelo-

torially that they "were seen to have
prominent advantages, not only as an
effective means of testing a pupils
knowledge of a subject, but also in ac-
customing him to arrange, with system
and neatness, various kinds of school
work. Then came the orders from
school committees and superintendents
that these examinations should come at
certain stated periods in all the studies,
they never thinking about or compre-
hending the enormous amount of labor
which the correction of the many queries

of these exercises for the improvement
of what was amiss. Under the fire.
quency with which these exercises are
sometimes ordered, i. becomes absolute
ly impossible for the teachers of large
classes to do the work required, if it be
well done. Teaching pupils to make
out bills from statements furnished or
invented, ia write promissory notes,
orders, &c, is very important matter
and for them to learn how to begin and
c:ose business and other letters quite as
much so. To teach them to exercise
their inventive powers in more formal
compositions is a thing of great moment.
But the teacher who attempts to do all
these things with one class in term, or
year even, will not be likely to do so

a writer in The Ne,0- England Journal
Of Education suggest the following plan
for reading lesson: l. Give from one
sixth to one-third of the time of the ex-
ercise to GLASS drill on some one or more
of the points grouped under the head of
vocal culture. 2. Give one-third to one
half of the entire time to study of new
or advanced lesson, and to class drill in
reading it. 3. Fill the remaining time
with individual reading OF review les
sons or easy pieces. Ia the first division,
aim at accuracy; in the second, at COM
pleteness; in the third, at quantity; and
in all, insi.t upon attention, promptness,
and animation.

will be as contrary to the nature of the
