Child Nature.

A child is social, therefore he must have
companions and not be left to the solitude
of his home. He is active and fond of max
ing-keep him busy and help him to pro-
duce things. He loves the earth-give him
q garden patch. He is an artist-give him
music, initiative action, and other appr0-
pirate means of expression. He is curious
teach him to think and discOver. He is
religiOus-lead him to trust in God. On
this last he eaid: "GOd trust, rOck-tirm
God-trust has died out of the world. The
kindergarten shall bring it back so that
the next generation OF children shall be
Gods children"
Here is work for child not against the
grain, but with it; not in violation of Gods
law in the child's nature, but in loving obe-
dience to it. Instead of Furnishing the lad
that makes pictures upon his slate, the low
ing kindergarten master puts him to max
ing pictures, and gently shows him how to
produce with his fingers the pictures that
curiosity and constructiveness, the Keilhsu
echoolmaster Jokes them to his purpose.
Instead of checking the child's sweetest i'm
pulse-the Impulse to play-he cOnsecrates
it. Jean Paul has said: "Play is the child g
first poetry" It was q wise and poetic say
ing of poet. But Froebel was not poet,
but schoolmaster and philosopher. He
went deeper. and said the supreme word
about play when he called 1t the first work
of childhood It is the child's chief bust

the United States, was born IN Cornwall,
Canada, of American parents, temporarily
residing there, September %. 1898. He re-
ceiyeG a common school education in Madl-
son, Wisconsin, but his principal education
was iBstilled In his youthful mind IN bis
fathers printing office. who conducted the
Express in that city, and for number OF
wears State printer. He succeeded his
father in the business. for at the early ages
respectively of seventeen and fifteen his
brother, William H. Wynan, and himself
were elected State printers by the Lselsla-
ture of Wisconsin. He was the most youth
tuI officer on record, and now the youngest
who has held the office of Treasurer OF the
United States with one exception, Mr.
Tucker, Of South Carolina. From the print
ing office he went into the banking business
in Madison anu Omaha.
Ia 1868 Mr.. Wyman was appointed to
twelve hundred dollar clerkship, and pro-
noted to ELL every grade in the Treasurer's
Office to his preseut honorable and RESPONSE
bic position. January l, 1868, he resigned
the Office of assistant cashier OF the Treas

with double "braces" to faithful perform
ance of all the duties and responsibilities

Why MIR. Foote is a Republican.

his name to appear upon the Repu blican
electoral ticket for the State of Ten nessee

with sound political wisdom. Anon & other
things he says: II shall be content to fight
in the ranks for the success of Republican
principles. the firm and steady maintenance
Of which deem essential to the national
repose and happiness. 1t is nv deliberate
opinion that the present is by far the most
important political struggle that our ooun-
try has yet known. Between now and No
vember next has to be settled. as l trust
forever, through the peaceful instrument

whether we are indeed . nation, or 3
wretched league of ever antagonizing local
sovereignties, entitled at pleasure to seoede
from and break up the Union, nullify the
moet wise and salutary enactments of the
national legislature, ruthlessly trample
under profane and factious feet the princl-
pies of civil order, and shamelessly set at
defiance the supreme law of the land"

In . recent letter to the Baltimore An,sri-
can, Jennie June speaks of famous ckaE-
acter:
Walking through Madison Park the other
evening in search of cool air and water
ice, received . nod and Q chow de do, i" in
return for my salutation, from an eccentric
individual, always suspected, and now gem
orally considered to be . lunatic, though
certainly possessed originally of sufficient
brains to supply any three men with the
average amount.
The person alluded to, model of physical.
health, strength aud manhood, apparently,
was George Francis Train, ex-candidate for
the presidency, and one of the most curious
outgrowths of Republican institutions. Of
late years very singular change has como
over him; from being one of the most vi0-
lent, obrrusive, assertive persons in the
world, he has become one of the most
quiet, gentle and reserved. Ten hours of
every day he spends upon q shady bench
in Madison Park, watching and playing
with little children, but only with very
little girls; when they are old enough
to be shy, or to hint that their mothers
do not like to have them speak to
strangers, he says they are no longer in
nocent, and he will have nothing to do with
them. He will not talk longer than two
minutes with any person, nor will he shake
hands. He says that shaking hands takes
the virtue out of him. He declares that he
is developing a will power that in time will
enable him to kill anybody by An exertion
of it. He drinks no stimulating or alcoholic
liquors of any description, takes Turkish
bath once day, eats no meat, and only
two meals . day, consisting of Graham
crackers, oatmeal. mush and other articles
composing q rigid vegetable diet. He was
the subject of some whimsical proceedings
in bankruptcy recently, in which he swore
to $40 1000, 900 of assets and no liabilities.
If his part lunacy sprang from diseased
self esteem, a. was asserted. what ID to be
said and what cause assigned for this new
development, in which he expressly avoids
and resents notice?

Thanks. Gentle Democrat.


In an article headed "Oar Radical Con-
temporaries," the Biloxi Mirror takes OoOa-
sion to say:
But we must except the New Orleans
REPUBLICAN from this charge of acrim0ny,
for its articles are all so very chaste, and
elegant in tone, temper and style. that we
have frequently examined it with micro
scope without detecting flaw or q crack
in it's ineaments or in its language. So
much for the editorials. Now, if We turn
to the columns of it's funny man, we see 80
much to admire, that the editorials sink
into insignifcsnce. Happy man! more for
tunate than Ormond, may you ever have an
Ossory, in the shape of silver quarter,
with which to satisfy the inner man at
Hawkins Saloon, or to tickle your catatar-
trophe with q straw at the St. Charles.
May your days be happy and your nights
delightful-and may the old goose from
whose wing you pluoked your quill never
pursue you in your dreams over slippery
shed, or pinch the seat Of your ''brichis"
with the worse of all biils-his goose bill.

THE MELLOW HORN.
BY p. 1INLDY MORRISON

how soft and sweet the mellow horn,
On the plaintive breezes borue,
While like tears the dewdrops rest
On the meadows floral breast.
How sweet the sound at twilight hours,
Comes stealing through the fragr ant bowers,
In whisperings soft that seem TO say,
Farewell, farewell, departing dsyt
When recall the years long fed,
When think of the loved ones dead,
The mellow strains come back to me
Like tidings from eternity.
