How Mr.. Tliden ana Mr.. Cooper Shook
Hands Heartily Together.

Samuel ]. Tilden sat in a box at
Booths Theatre Friday night giving
close attention and cordial applause
to Ole BULBS familiar triumphs and
tricks on the violin, which was the
principal object of interest to the
three thousand people who were par
tIeipating in the NOrwegian'5 most
recent farewell to America. At the
close OF the first part, when Ole had
responded to his pristine encore, Mr..
Tilden stepped to the front Of the box
and handed the white-haired Paganini
laurel wreath, which proceeding
gave great pleasure to Mr.. Boil, Mr..
Tilden and the audience. During
the intermissiou the venerable Peter
Cooper stepped from the stage to the
box where his rival sat, aud the audi
enee was treated to the qnWOnted and
agreeable spectacle of two Presiden-
tial candidates shaking hands as
though one had not rightfgIly re-
eeiyed l96 votes aud the other none
at all. Then Ole Bull Joined the
merry group, and lavishing his Osten-
tstious greetings upon the philan-
thropist, who sat in the front OF the
box, retired to back seat for less
conspicuous but more mysterious con-
verse with the statesman. AT last
Cyrus w. Field entered the charmed
circle, and watched Ole Bull, who was
back on the stage, with an intentness
that showed he was thinking Of the
fact that he only lacked one of having
as many strings across the Atlantic as
spanned the bridge OF the ViOlinist's

Hard Times on the Pacific Coast.

One Of our leading bankers has Just
returned from the Pacific Coast. He
makes some interesting statements
about matters and things in CalIfOr-
MIA. III it can afford any comfort to
struggling humanity on the Atlantic
slope to know that others are quite az
bad off as themselves, the general
statement of affairs on the Pacific
Coast will be refreshing. This is the
year Of dTOuth the second known
since California was settled. South
eTn California Is an ash heap. The
SOnOma, Sonora and Sacramento
Valleys are burned TO crisp. In Que
ranch twenty-five thousand aheep
were killed because they could not be
fed. There will be 10 relief until the
new crops come next year.
The shadow OF hard times covers
the mining interests like 3 pail.
Hundreds are out Of employment.
ANY sort OF labor is thankfully ac-
cepted. In San francisco thousands

Men who were BilliOnaires the other

Young men OF education and eul-

Reading g-Enunc1aIIOn

| Distinct enuneiatiOn Is one OF thu
essentials to good reading. Its impOr
tance to those who read or speak il
public can not be well over estimated
for the ability of speaker to draw
the attention of an audience and hOlC
Ii, depends much more upon the dis
tInctness with which he speaks thar
upon any beauties in gesture or mOdu'
latiOn, or even upon the sense Of tina
which he speaks. Almost any Othel
defect Is more readily excused thar
an indistinct utteraBce. A writer in
the New England journal Of EtiUcd
ton gives the following rules and di
rectiOns for training classes in read
ing to speak distinctly:
RULE I.-PrOROlmce distinctly H,
final cORsOndRt az q IOOrd.
Now ask the class to read the rule
in concert, then to close their eyes
and repeat it. Next write q list OI
words like the following, to illustrate
the rule, and let them pronounce them
individually and in concert Light,
sight, fight, host, hosts, ghost, ghosts,
had, bad, instrument, government.
Call special attention to similar words
il the reading lesson, or, what is bet
ter, let the pupils point them out, and
then drill them carefully until the
rule and Ita application become a part
of themselves.
RULE II.-PrOnOnce distinctly the
first syllable Of q lUOrd.
Examples for the board Promote,
perform, commit, profession, pro-
nOunce, political, particular. Careless
readers and speakers constantly viO-
late this rule, and the teacher can not
be too careful in securing strict adj
herence to its application.
RULE III.-FroRChHce distinctly
sVe9g short 1n1dceented syllable betlOeeR
the first and last sJlld6leS iR q lCOrd.
Examples for the board Miser-
able, considerable, syllable, interested
understand, library, different, favor
able, honorable, unaccented, oppOsi.
tion, resolution, tOlerable, memorable
accommodation. See that the chill
dren do not huddle the syllabIes to-
gether. Make them pronounce each
syllable very slowly. let this rule be
treated by the teacher the same as the
others, and all three be committed to
memory. As summary OF the fore
going rules an additional one may be
given
RULE IV.-PrOnOUHc distinctly
eUeTy syllable IN q IOOrd.
1t is always safe to impress on young
pupils especially, the importance Of
taking time in reading. See that they
do not read the first part of the sem
tences too fast. They Often half COM
init to memory the first few words OF
a sentence, and repest them as fast as
they can, till they rush upon a word
over which they will surely stumble.
They should be taught to pronounce
the small words distinctly as well as
the large ones. Care should be taken
not to lay too great stress on the un-
accented syllables. Many persons
cOnfound distinetness with emphasis.
One of the most successful teachers of
reading l ever saw, made the pupils
read in whisper for the purpose OF
cultivating q distinct utterance.

CUrneiIa Chisholm, the Martyr.

COrnelis ChisOlm is dead. She died
OF gangrene, the report says, result
ing from the lack OF that medical at
tendance which might have saved
her life When her little brother was
killed in his fathers arms at the iail,
Mrs. ChisOlm was compelled to obtain
permit frOmIthe leaders Of the mob 10
bury him, Reing 'ehivaIFy," they
will hardly refuse to allow the inter-
ment OF this female victim. The
grave will receive the mortal remains
of this heroic girl. 10 will hide her
limbs, torn with bullets her young
face all bruised by the blow OF a
chivalrie fist, perforated with chips OF
lead from the broed-sldes fred against
the Jail bars, blackensd by discharges
from the guns she pushed away from
her fathers breast with her brave
hands. Governor Stone "eould not
eOnsenp' that Captain Shaughnessy
should go 10 her rescue with an escort
and carry her away .F0m the mob
who watched the house in which she
lay, and Kept the family disturbed by
( their threats. SeY-gOvernment, az
established by the Mississippi shot
gun policy, means only the mainte-
nance Of Democratic aseendeney. Re-
publiGans are left TO the mercy Of as
sasSins. Even when they lie wound
ed unto death, the Democratic Exc
cutive "cannot CONSENT to allow
them to be removed from the power
OF their inhuman foes to friends and
safety. We have before alluded to
what the Springfield ReplilHi0an says
Is the compensation" for this trag-
edy-that it seems to develop
the tact that the best public
sentiment in the SJuth no longer
sympathiZes with, nor will con
done, such violation OF law. The
southern papers are fall Of gush. bat
IL. V. r. says, in letter to the Gin
cinnati Commercial, "NObodv will be
punished. Indeed, if other white Ra-
publieans in Kemper county escape,
they will DO we'll"
There ia no excuse or palliation for
this crime. The people Of Mississippi
are on trial before the country. n
they will take measures TO satisfy JUS
tice by bring to summary punishment
the assassins at whose hands this
martyred girl and her fgienda were
put to death, the country Will BEGIN
to believe i'm the efficeincy Of their To-
cal laws. Rut IL this'erime is suffered 10
pass as the COushatta massacre did, If
the ''best people in the SOUTH" who
deplOre these Outrages so freely iE the
public prints, do not erGsh out the
lawless class, and sunlhilate them as
the Molly Msguires were annihilated,
then it Will be the pledged duty Of
President Hayes to see that it is done,
and the whole north, at least will
sustain him. It Is Incredible that
Americans should be found so lost to
all sense Of honor and manhood as to
commit such crimes, but it is even
more Incredible, and infinitely more
disgraeeful, that community should
exist in America in which they can
be committed with impunity. -LeGCleT.

Manners In New England.

/ Seventy-five years ago, the New
England people were more thorough
~ and purely religious than were al
/ equal number OF people in any other
quarter Of the world. Their manner.
were not what may be called refined ;
tney were not so eOurtly as those o
Virginia, for the New Englanders had
learned to distrust courts and all that
pertsined TO them ; but their manner:
Were exceedingly kind, gentle aud de.
ierential, and carefully toned with
aelleate consideration for tie rights
and feelings OF Others. Such was the
security for personal rights in those
] days, that houses or stOrerOOms were
seldom locked people on Sundays
often left their windows open, in
summer, while absent st church a
young lady might go anywhere by
herself alone and the traveller was
frequently, If not generally, saluted
by bow or courtesy from children.
These manners and customs were
que 10 the religious training of the
people. Almost everybody went to
ehurcn, and the Bible was q reading
book in the schools, and not there
alone the youth was taught to read
it every day, and it was hardly re-
spectacle not to have read it through
BY the age OF manhood. The effect Of
such training upon manners could not
have failed to be of the most benig-
nant kind. Nowhere in all the teach
lngs OF men, from the days OF Lord
Chesterfield, when even the English
had no formed manners, down to the
Aar
treatise on good manners equal to
that which may be found in the let
ters of st. Paul to his young friend
Timothy. In these letters all the ex-
perienee Of the then past, OF Greek,
Hebrew, and Roman, were combined
with the elevating and scftening in
1uences of Christian faith.
But things have greatly changed in
New England from what they wsre
years ago. Probably not
over one in five OF the people there
now habitually attend church and if
The Bible is still read in the schools
there, il is rather from the lingering
traces OF an early habit than from any
decided attachment to the book as
school reader. In some schools per-
haps the fustian, spread-eagIe spec ch-
es OF politicians, or the lueubrati Ons
Of low humorists, would be consider
ed preferable to it, especially for
acquiring elOeutiOn, to which great
i'm pOrtance is attached.
Yet regard the district schools as
the only true source OF good manners
in America. Without the school |
house, even religion would become |
corrupt among US. 1t is only in the |
early schOOl.days of life that good |
manners can be taught es an abiding I
influence. As the youth grows up to
religion must step in to inn !
prove and preserve these manners;
but If manners are neglected until |
they are fashioned by the preacher |
alone, they can never be as good as if
taught early, in the first days OF
school going.
The church and the school house
must go together and the school,
house must be put first in this matter.
The work to be done is to teach chill
lren practical religion, practical love
'or each other, by their learning, as
The first of lessons, especially in q
Republic, to respect the rights of 9TH
ars before insisting on their own.
