CUMBERLAND, Md, July 23.-Almost per-
feet quiet reigns along the road to-day. with the
exception OF Wheeling. Col. Sharp tonight
fears that the depot there will be burned before

There Is good authority for saying tonight
that. II no damage is done to property before
tomorrow. some measures OF arbitration will be
proposed by the company. The reported back

dcatve OF what will be done. Tho road has for
day or two had no plan other than that In re-
naming quiet and waiting for something to
turn up TO afford way OF escape. But 1t is
safe to say that the company are now ready to
propose terms OF compromise. They may even
offer to take back the mon at the old wages.
The excitement OF the day here has been the
supersedure OF Gen. French. At o'clock this
morning he returned here with his 65 men from

PRIMARY GEOGRAPHY.
No. Four.
BY A. EARTHMAN.

Let this work be followed by the
map of the school-yard "a d its sur
roundings. of square in the village,
of block in the city, or of the neigh
boring fields; always insisting that
the pupil must do the work himself, as
far as this is possible.
Having been taught on the princi-
pie of studying the thing first and its
symbol atterward, the pupil will be
prepared to attach the true signiti-
canoe to all maps, in his subsequent
study of geography; and he will read
lily see that, although he himself may
not be able to measure, and thus draw
a map of Wisconsin, France, or Aus
tria, somebody else has done the same
thing with those divisions, that he has
with the school room and the school
yard.
TO many pupils map tells nothing.
They cannot "read" it. Ascertain to
what extent this deficiency exists, and
remedy it by this work, regardless of
age, sex, or proficiency in enumerating
the villages of Africa.--H. S. b.
The map of the school district will
follow that of the school premises ;
this, in turn, will be followed by that
of the town, of which the school dis
trict forms a part.
ut cannot be expected that the
printing establishment of newspaper
is provided with the material to print
the diagrams here spoken of. Hence,
much as / should like to give maps in
this connection, can simply say to
the teacher who experiences difficulty
in this direction: Let me know of
your difficulty, and I will send you
drawings and suggestions on paper.)
Having drawn the map OF the town,
and after that of the county, let the
physical features. as rivers, lakes,
swamps, hills, bluffs, be indicated.
These features should here receive
special attention. as, also, the soil, the
climate, the productions, the people
and their occupations. Children know
these things from personal obserya-
ton; or, should they be ignorant, they
have the means at hand to obtain the
knowledge required.
Should there be villages within the
town let the pupil inquire into the
reason of the existence of such vii
lagos in particular spots. For exam
pie: Why has the village of River
Falls grown up right hereE How did
it come to be started here Why isn't
it three miles above on the river
What supports it
1t has already been suggested that il
connection with the work OUTLINED
thus far, many geographical terms car
be explained; in every case the pupil
should frame the definition himself
Such course will be doubly benefi
cial; it will make the child an observ
er, and, as such. independent of th'
text book; and it will give him def
milton which he understands and il
likely to retain.

IGSATIUs DONELLY thinks that the
reports of large crops in this region
are the scheme of spectators to lower
the price of wheat; and he advises
farmers and newspapers hereabouts TO
make the outside barbarian believe
that the crop will fall short of the av-
erage. Well, at the SIX of being
thought in collision with grain spec
ulators, we venture to say that the
prospects for large yields of grain in

never brighter than they are at the

1T is an i'll wind that blows nobody

According to the laws of Pennsylvania,
the county of Allegheny, for example,
is holden for all damage done by the
rioters at Pittsburg. 1t is already in
timated that the county will refuse to
pay; hence, interminable lawsuits are
likely to grow ont of the difficulty, all
of which makes the lawyers laugh.

The Reciprocity Treaty--Can ID be
nnnulled

To THE EDITOR OF THE HAWAIIAN GAZETTE:
SR:-It has not been uncommon to hear the as
sertion made that the U. 5. House Of Representa-
tives whose consent was required to law enabling
our Treaty of Reciprocity to go into effect, have
the power to repeal said law like any other, and
thereby to nulify our Treaty. This assertion Is
ported to have been lately made by no less a per
sonage than Senator Sergeant who was so nhuen-
tial in procuring the passage of the Treaty.
Can you. Mr.. Editor, give any light on this
question. Or will not some one learned in the law
do so, and let us know whether We really have
Treaty binding inevocably upon both parties. or
whether 1t is only nominal agreement subject to
the caprice of one both.
Viewing the subject from the light of common
sense, without the aid of love in legal presidents
one would seem 10 be certain that whatever action
on the part Of any legislative body requisite tor
the original validity ct Treaty, that Treaty
in force becomes fixed compact between two ma
TONS and not subject to reversal by any of the ORR
gina parties until the expiration of the named, or
until IL is broken be the violation of Its provisions
by of the parties.
The Treaty 81: Reciprocity between the United
States and Canada has often been named But II is
well known that unpopular as II became, no at
tempt was ever made to abrogate that treaty by
legislation, until the period named had expired
But let us have some opinion of legal weight on
this subject to enlighten the public mind.
