GENERAL SHERIDAN has gone to
New Orleaps. He left Chicago Mon
day and arrived at New Orleans on
Wednes day. His presence in the
city will probably secure peace and
perhaps an honest count Of the votes
returned, as the banditti of New Or
leans and Louisiana have whole
some fear of him. But whether all
the returns will have safely reached
the canvassing board or some of tn EN-
will have been destroyed on the way
by the Kuklux, and whether the re-
turns in parishes where Republicans
were prevented from voting. will be
rejected remains to be seen. The
preservation of peace may how erer
be relied on with much confidence.

PLAN FOR TEACHING GRAMMAR.
PAPER NO. 2.

In our last paper certain genera
directions were given for teaching THIS
branch. In this paper we snail en-
deavor to give some more SPECIFIC dlrec
tions for teaching primary grammar
We have said that instruction Id Ian
ruage should commence as soon as The
child enters school. 1t should be The
teachers constant care to lead his pu
pills to the formation of correct habits
In the use of language. He should
speak correctly himself, and rectlfy al
mistakes made by his pupils. Every
recitation should be practical drill II
the use of language.
At quite an early age, however, say
ten or twelve years, the formal study
of the subject may be probably begun
provided that no textbook is allowed
but the lessons are made wholly oral
And the first thing to be considered Is
the sentence, being, as it is, the basis
Of all extended thinking. Take up the
study of the sentence under the follow
ing heads
/. Definition, 2. Elements,-Sub'
iect and Predicate, 3. Kinds ia,
Declarative or Telling, (b) lnterroga
tive OF Asking, (c) Imperative OF
Commanding, 4. Sentence-buiiding,-
az About objects, CO. From leading
words. 5. Capitals. 6 Punctuation
Sentence defined waken thought ID
the minds Of pupils by presenting
some object, as a book. Pupils Will
perceive at once that before their
thoughts can be known to others they
must be expressed. Such expressions
as these will then be made ''The
lock is large" "The book is red, The
book has leaves and covers, ''The
leaves are made of paper" &C., &c
Each of these expressions is made uI
OF words. First we have the thought
then aOOrdS are used to express the
thought. These words that express
the thought form the sentence. Thus
the definition of sentence is develop
ed: A sentence is thought express
ed in words. And here let me say
never present a definition or rule unit
pupils are led to see the necessity of it
and let the definition or rule be con
else rather than complete, and develop
ed from the knowledge which pupils
have already acquired. Now spenC
several days upon sentences; requirin!
each pupil to bring to class two O.
more original sentences each day unit
the idea of the sentence is firmly fxet
in the mind and pupils can readil,
distinguish sentence from phras
or a clause.
Elements of a sentence-It will b.
noticed that there are two parts t,
every sentence-the person or thin,
about which something is thought, AM
tae word or words which express tina
thought. The former is called tn
subject and the latter the predicate
Develop the definition for each anC
continue the drill until pupils hay,
IS perfect understanding of the term
used. Frequently ask why is this
sentence?' why is this the subject O
the sentence ? why is this the predi
cate and require the answer in tn,
words of the definition already given
and so with all other definitions AM
rules.

another, "Where Madam Talbot was ~ he
answered, "She had gone up the Bay to
her own house." Then. to a third ques-
ton, " How he expected his pay? ?" he said,
" He was to have it of Colonel Darnall and
Major Sewall; and that Madam Talbot had
promised him hogshead of tobacco extra,
for putting ashore at Hoopers Island"
The last question was, What news of

long voyage to the Elk river, which, in due
time, he reaches in safety.
