The school superintendent of Port.
land, Oregon, touches a grievous abuse
when he says in his report: Gone of
the crying evils of the day is the horde
of textbooks, succeeding each other
like Goths and Vandals; series of gcog-
raphies, grammars and arithmetics, six
deep and graded until graduation is a
misnomer. We are no advocate of the
socaled oral system, and believe thor
oughly in good textbooks in the hands
of good teachers; but the schools of the
whole land are now at the mercy Of the
publishers, whose interest requires the
most books at the highest price for the
least number of children.
The home journal. (Winchester, Tenn.) 1858-188?, 1876-05-18

"THE most popular fashionable afiecta-
ton" says the New York Gazette,
among young ladies raSenous for social
notoriety is the 'Florada cough, which
is regarded by those who have been
abroad as fine substitute for Roman
malaria,' so fashionable a few years ago.
The southern maIady is supposed TO be
contracted sitting on the piazza of Il
Magnolia or Jacksonville hotel, flirting
and eating oranges alternately. Those
who have never been near either place
uacr dreadfully from the disease"

TIMELY TOPICS.

The centennial board of finance cs-
teens itself very fortunate that there
will only be deficiency of 81 800, 600 to
be made up from visitors. As it will
only require 100000 paying visitors to
produce this sum the board is probably
justified in rejoicing, for the exhibition
can hardly fail to attract at least that
number. Vienna had 100000, Paris,
in 1867, had 100000 and the British
exposition, in 1862, 100000. 1t will
depend somewhat on the railway fares,
however.

orchestra furnishing sweet music.
The wedding festivities throughout
because they were devoid Of all ostenta.

bic TO those who were "bidden to the
feast" 1t gives US pleasure to know that
the worthy groom, when he did invest in
the matrimonial lottery, had the good for
tune to secure a prize. We extend to
the young couple our Fluctuations, with
the hope that the whirligig Of time may
may ever bring them naught but the full.
est measure OF health, happiness and
prosperity.
The Wheeling people yesterday re.
turned home on the steamer Rees, and
the Cincinnatians took passage on the
steamer Andes. The bride and groom

Ter last night, and will proceed at once
upon their bridal tour, going from here

LEAP YEAR PARTY on THE ISLAND
A somewhat novel affair took place at
the residence Of Mrs. Henry Brues, on the
Island, last night, and one to be remem.
bered by all who participated in the fes.
tivitics. 1t was "leap year party" got.
ten up by several young lady friends Of
Mrs. Brues. The hand Of the sterner
sex was not in any OF the arrangements
Of the programme, or in any OF its carry.
ings out, and the fact that the hop was a
success, proves that the "gentle ones"
know 4 thing or two about managing
folks in a ball room. The young ladies
provided hacks for the conveyance OF
their gentlemen friends to the festive
scene, and the committee having the at.
fair in charge, Misses Jean Friend, Sue
Linch and Lide Woods, received the
guests as they arrived in the most cordial
manner. Ont Of respect to the ISrELLI-
oESCER, this reporter must acknowledge
the receipt Of dozen or 50 offers Of hands
and hearts, which he did not feel at liberty
to accept: The feline intestines stretched
across Kramer's fiddle never discoursed
more excellent music than upon this oc-
caSion, and tbs strains did not die away
till the cock and the clock crowed three
times.

BE1LArRE LocG1s.-The Barnesyille
District Conference Of the N. E. Church
met in the NJ. E. Church in this city, pur-
suant to postponement, on Tuesday after.
noon. Tuesday evening 4 sacramental
meeting was held, the sermon being by
Rev. J. ]. Wilson. Yesterday forenoon
Rev. EdmondEon read very fine essay,
and, as is always the case with things OF
superior merit, It was sharply criticised.
An experience meeting was held in the
afternoon, and many brethren made
short addresses, most notable among
which was one by Rev. Wunderlich, a
visiting brother, from Wheeling. This
was followed by the reading, by Rev.
Vail, Of St. Clairsville, Of an essay
entitled 1.-THE Causes Which have
Led Scientific Minds into Rationalism
and In6delity.n The title does not, how
ever, afford the slightest index to the
nature OF the essay. Last night a tenn
perance meeting was held. Presiding
Elder Burt occupies the chair, and Rev.
Samuel Price, Of the GAINESVILLE Enter
priSe, Is secretary, assisted by Rev. ]. W.
TolGnd. The ministers present are nu.
merous, and the audiences Of citizens at
the different sessions are good. The ex'
ercises are enlivened by excellent singing,
led by Elder Burt.
Gen. B. r. CoWen was in the city about
a week, and the Standard Bellaire genius
didn't discover the fact. Some days after
he left, however, he chronicled that "Col
Cowan, Of the Internal Revenue Bureau
Is in town.
The father Of Gen. Hoge is lying in Q
critical condition at his home at Burrs

WEIGHING THE MAns.-The Balti.
more & Ohio Railroad Company recently
demanded more money from the govern
ment for carrying the United States mails,
claiming that they were heavier than
formerly. The government officials de-
clined TO pay more than the contract
price, but were perfectly willing to allow
that. Consequently II was considered I'D.
visable to have the mails weighed, which
was done, the government and the COM
pany each detailing man TO do the work.
The weighing was 10 continue Tor seven.
ty.fye days, and has been completed on
all the lines except the Lake Erie diyi-
sion. Instead Of being heavier, 1t was
found that there was great falling of in
the weight Of the mails. We have not
learned whether there will be any reduc-
ton in the price paid the company.

joys quite a reputation in portraying

actual scenes and incidents Of the Far

ment is especially interesting from the
fact that the drama is interpreted by

THE FULTON BRIDdE.-It seems that
an item which appeared in this paper 9
day or two ago concerning the Fulton
bridge has miIled some Of our readers. A
funeral crossed the bridge on Tuesday
and had considerable trouble in getting
into the Peninsular cemetery. As We
have already stated, no road has yet beer
made by which funeral can enter the
cemetery from the bridge, although there
will probably be one soon. The ap
proaches to the bridge have been filled sc
that carriages can pass over the bridge
but there is as yet no way Of driving into
the cemetery at that point.
