the Fisk University for colored students in
Nashville: "Out of 246 students, there
are not more than a dozen who are not

VERY soon, most probably, battalion of
explorers and excavators will again be at
work among the ruins of Nineveh. Over
thirty years ago young English traveller in
Asia was shown, at the junction of the rivers
Tigris and Zab, the small village of Nimroud,
which, tradition held, occupied the site of the
capital of the ancient Assyrian Empire. In
1S45 he began secretly to dig, with the help
of few Arabs, in the mound which contain
ed the debris of the Exceeding great city,"
as it is called in Holy Writ. He found rich
archaeological treasure, and pursuing his in
vestigation from 1S45 to 1847 inclusive
brought out great many bas-relieis, cunei-
form inscriptions, and gigantic-winged, hu-
man-headed bulls and lions, and eagle-headed
deities sculptured in stone. All of these are
now preserved in the British Museum in Lon.
don. The Turkish government, playing the
old selfish part of the dog in the manger,
stopped the Nineveh explorations years ago
Now, however, Mr.. Layard is British minis
ter at Constantinople, and has shown marked
sympathy with the Sultan, who has just
shown his gratitude by presenting him with a
firman authorizing further excavations in
what was Nineyeh in the worlds early days.

Nobody is asked to abandon his opinion In

policies, properly treated as inspired by good
faith, must yet be taken cautiously. The
Republican party can stand only by the efforts
of Republican voters. This Is why we are

Public Instruction.

The Committee on Instruction of the Maine
Teachers Association held a meeting at the
High School building in Biddeford, Friday
evening and Saturday forenoon. The Maine
Teachers' Association is made up of profession
al teachers Of every grade from primary school
to college, and has for its object the improve
ment of the methods of instruction and 1isci-
pline throughout the state.
To effect this object Committee on Instruc-
tion has been created, whose duty 1t Is to hold
public meetings during the year in different
parts of the state, visit the public schools, and
report the result of their observations and die-
cussions at the regular annual meeting.
Members of the committee and others spent
Friday afternoon in visiting the schools of the
place, expressing themselves as much pleased
with their general management. In the even.
ing there was large attendance at the High
School room. Mr.. Corthell, chairman of the
committee, explained the nature and object of
the meeting
A paper on Arithmetic in Primary Schools,
by Mrs. G. q. Rounds Of Pennington, was
read by Mr.. Rounds, and paper on Geometry
in the Primary Schools, by Miss Hayden of
Pennington, was read by DR.. Hanson Of
Waterville.
A discussion of these papers, in which O
large number took part, occupied the rest of
the evening.
Saturday morning at o'clock Prof. Smith
of Bowdoin presented the subject Of Geometry
in the higher grades, after which there was
general discussion.
The meeting has been one Of great interest
throughout, and cannot fail to benefit the many
| teachers present
Among the educators in attendance from ore
of town who took part in the proceedings were
Messrs. Tash aud Patten of Portland, Rounds e
Pennington, Corthsll of Augusta, Burr Of
Hallowell, Hanson of Waterville, and Hyde
of Salmon Falls, N. II. The next meetin z
will be held at Saco in December.

exhausted from the start. it is perhaps not
strange that before the first six months of the
campaign have expired Turkey should find
herself obliged to draw upon her very last re-
sources. This is not so bad, however, when
it is considered that the present campaign IL
nearing Its close, that but few weeks inter-
vene before the severity of the weather will
put an end to active operations till spring,
and that now is the opportune moment for
Turkey to strike back upon the invaders with
all the power she can summon. Her last
man may avail her now, while later the strug-
gle might become utterly hopeless.

Rev. VIM. G. Schaufier, after residence
of 45 years in Turkey as an American miss
ionary, has returned to his native land. With
the Rev. DR.. Goodell and Rev. DR.. Hamlin,
he was among the original missionaries to
that country, and like his colleagues, he has
left behind him high reputation for piety,
practical Christian benevolence, and linguistic
erudition. The last work on which he was
engaged, translation OF the Bible into the
Bulgarian tongue, is the first complete trans
lation of the Bible in that language. 1t has
been distributed and sold everywhere through
out Bulgaria, and has contributed to the re-
vival of the native literature. These three
patriarchs of the American mission to Tur-
key were distinguished for the jealous per
formance of their duties, for their truly Chris
tian lives, their learning, and the philanthropy
that led them to look on humanity with an
equal eye, and to befriend men of all creeds
and races in the hour of trouble. In seasons
of plague they confronted the pestilence, and
did honor to their race and country in the de.
votion with which they succored the dying
and friendless, whether Mussulman, Jew, Of
Christian.

THE most necessary qualification of SOL
dier is to know how to obey orders; the next
is to know how to shoot. Many crack regi-
ment has proved inefficient in action because
its ammunition was wasted above the heads
of the enemy, and for such awkwardness no
personal bravery can compensate. That
Americans are born marksmen has long been
known, and all that is now needed is the es-
tablishment of suitable ranges in every city
and in every town that can boast of military
organization. At Creedmoor the teams from
the militia have proved themselves experts,
and with little systematic practice nine
tenths of all the citizen soldiers in the United
States could become sharpshooters.

RUSSIA must soon make tremendous on

AS to the progress of the Ohio campaign
the Cleveland Herald says the Democratic

not abandoning hope altogether, are turning

They are working like beavers to carry the

BASED upon the patent fact that owing to
destructive foundations caused by heavy rains
of several weeks continuance throughout
most parts OF England, Ireland and Scotland is
the expectation, almost certainty, that an
immense quantity of American breadstuffs
must be exported to England during the next
ten months. Providentially, the production
of cereal crops has been very great in the
United States the present year. We need on
ly glance at the collateral fact that, with a
steady decrease of British imports, whatever
food we may send to ''the old country will
have to be paid for in gold.
