Practical Education.

Miss Mitchell, the teacher of the
first grammar grade in the Washing
ton school, Pittsburg, Pa, has intro
duced a new and brilliant feature il
her school exercises. II consists of a
discussion of the news of the day be-
tween the pupils and teacher, the
first half hour of the morning being
devoted to that exercise. The words,
1.-THE Bulletin" are drawn on the
blackboard ip large German text let
ters, and Immediately below, in
newspaper style, are head lines SIM
liar to those employed by daily pa
yers in giving the points Of the most
important news, and then each line
is taken up by the school, and gem
eral interchange of views takes place
between the teacher and pupils. The
Bulletin is the daily paper of that
room, and an editor is elected by the
school every month, whose duty it
is to examine the Pittsburgh papers
every morning, and to write down
on the blackboard, before school
hours, the points for discussion, to
give Il headline resume of the news
of the day, as it were, and if the edi-
tor exhibits capacity for the work
intrusted to him, he is often re-elect-
ed to his high position.
AT the time of the visit of the rep
resentative of the New York Weekly,
Fred. Wallace was the editor, and it
was ascertained that he gave entire
satisfaction. Ofcourse the discussion

American Wares Abroad.

The United States is rapidly COM
ing to the front as a producing ma
tion. For years and years we were
dependent upon England for the
clothes that we wore and the tools
withlwhich to do our work. We are;
however, growing more Independent
now. We make nearly everything
we use these days, and have good
deal to sell besides. We sell Eng
land more than we buy from her, and
if we utilize our national advantages;
we will be able to compete with all
civilized governments in the sale of
our productions. Until recently Eng
land could not be made to realize
that American competition amoun-
ted to anything or could ever be con-
sidered competitor of her Majestv,s
slftsn rst. y oss = lAs,ss ass
candid enough to admit that she has
in the United States serious compe-
titor, and is therefore busily at work
deyising remedy.
The Birmingham Daily Post offers
the following wholesome suggestions
to British manufacturers "If our
manufacturers wish to preserve any
part Of their foreign or colonial trade,
it is high time they bestirred them
selves. They must organize means
for keeping themselves posted up in
the d0ings'of their trade competitors
in Germany, Belgium and France, as
well as the United States. They must
obtain and study the pattern books
and price lists of these pushing oppo-
nents, and adopt measures for mas
terihg their manufacturing processes.
One great advantage which the
Americans possess over English
manufacturers is the extent to which
they have superseded hand labor by
machinery. If dur edge tool makers;
locksmiths and cutters wish to Keep
peace with their rivals in the States,
they must lay down machinery of
equal excellence, and adopt precau-
tions as thorough as theirs for test
ing and overhauling the work turn
ed out"

does not take in news of every de-
scription, but only of the most inter-
esting character. 1t includes the
proceedings of Congress, foreign
news, editorial topics, local news,
etc, etc. This exercise is regarded
as part of the school work, and is en-
tered into by every pupil with the
greatest possible interest; and many
OF them, whose parents can afford it,
purchase paper every morning and
study its entire contents, just as they
do their grammar, their geography
and arithmetic. BY means of the
Bulletin every scholar learns the i'm
portant news of the day, and is ena-
bled to understand the various great
questions which agitate the public
mind. The value of an exercise of
this kind is beyond description, and
isitis hoped that it viii smhssl,eeselne
an established custom in every public
school in this country.
Miss Mitchell is a yourg teacher
of great capacity, and as the pioneer
in this branch of education, deserves
special honor and commendation.

Don't Want to be a Preacher.

A Western editor tClinton, Ill.,;
Register,) don't want to be preach-
er. He says:
There have been times in our
eventful life when we thought we
would like to he a preacher and tell
other folks what they ought TO do,
live on chickens, loafsix days in the
week and be the pet of the ladies.
We thought such a life would suit
our constitution, especially when a
thousand dollars a year, a parsonage
and two of three donation parties
were thrown in. But since the ses-
sion of the Methodist conference all
these bright dreams have fed, and
our desire to be preacher has been
quenched.
We don't care about being ordered
to go upon brush circuit and try to
make both ends meet on two hundred
and fifty dollars per year, and then
have every stingy brother in the Cir
cult growl whenever he dropped a
big copper in the contribution box,
and intimate that we would make
better blacksmith than a preacher.
We don't care about having to dress
in broadcloth when we had not
money enough to buy our wife a
calico dress. We don's care about
having our characters torn to pieces
every year at the conference, our
teeth examined and our breath tested
to see whether we used tobacco or
drank whisky. No we don't want to
be a preacher we would rather be
heather and have our liberty"

The Commercial Results ofStanley's
Explorations.

Henry M Sttnly, the American
explorer of Africa, whose growing
exploit was the ascertaining of the
course of the river Congo from its
source to its mouth, is expected to
arrive at Plymouth, in England,
about the 10Th prox-that is about
next Wednesday. To make its sense
of the value of his great and perilous
labOrs, fortunately most successful,
the Royal Geographical Society
(Which made him it's gold medalist
when he discovered Livingstone,
some years ago) will give him a
grand reception in London, on the
earliest day it may suit his convent
ence to attend. 1t is expected that,
in January, at the first ordinary
meeting of the society, Mr.. Stanley
will read a paper, which is to be a
resume of his long and arduous labors
and their splenddid scientific and
commercial results. 1t is further stat
ed Queen Victoria will "interyiew"
him, in Windsor Castle, immediate
ly before or after the Christmas holi-
days. The commercial consequences
of Mr.. Stanley's journeyings through
and discoveries in A frica are thought
fully and hopefully considered by a
large class in England. The Sunday
Times, one of the oldest of the Lon
don weeklies, views the matter in
this manner-it says: "England is
doing her best to ruin her own trade
and is succeeding pretty we'll in the
effort. Thanks to the dishonesty of
masters who send out vilainous
goods and the greed of the workmen
who seek for an eXtravagant pay.
ment Tor half work, other nations are
commencing to run us hard. Our
exports to countries once our best
customers are not half what they
were a dozen years ago. The con-
nection between the future of Eng
land and that of Africa stands thus !:
We are losing our trade with Am-ri-
ca, which is scarcely half what it cnce
was. We are losing also our trade
with the European continent. Our
own colonies are throwing us off, and
it seems as if in time india itself
would be able to manufacture goods
cheaper than we can supply them.
Everywhere markets seem closing
against US. AT this moment, provi
dentially as it might almost seem, a
new market, practically inexhausti-
bic so far as hundred years are con-
cerned. is opened out for us. Africa
calls for our civilization and our
goods. The one it is our interest and
the other it is our duty to afford
her." The difficulty may beI how
shall Africa pay for English manu-
facturers, textile or metallic? The
journal above quoted says Africa can
become the future granary of Eng
land. If so, grain may be exchanged
for manufactures, and its price would
always be kept within moderate
bounds by the competing supply
from the abundant harvests of the
United States.-PhiJadelphio Press.

A curious cast as to the rights of
the finder of lost property, whose
owner is unknown, is reported from
Rhode Island. TIE plaintiff bought
an old safe and offered to sell it to the
defendant. The defendent would not
buy it, but agreed TO take it and sell
it if he could, using it himself in the
meantime. While 1t was thus in his
possession he found roll of bank
bills inside the lining. No one knew
to whom they belonged. The defen-
dant. therefore, concluded to keep
them. The plaintiff, upon learning
of the discovery. of the money, de-
manded the return of the safe just as
it was when delivered. The defen-
dant returned it but without the bank
bills; whereupon the plaintiff sued
for their value as money found. The
Supreme Court held that the finder
was entitled to retain the property as
against the party who put the safe
into his hands for sale, and the au-
thorities generally maintain the right
of the finder in this class of cases, as
against all persons except the real
owner.

might have learned something frou

our primary schools. Their facts, in
ferences and conclusions were simply
building lies.
In the opinion Ofthe first military
men of thenation the march made
by General Howard in pursuit of
Joseph and his band is the most ex-
traordinary on record. Considering
the difficulties of the way, the alb
sence of roads and the rugged, sterile
region through which the willy Indi
an led his pursuer from the western
border of Oregon to the head waters
of the Missouri river the energy and
perse verance exhibited by Howard
and his command lift the them to
the rank OfherOeS. The d stance from
Kamio, Idaho, were the hostilities
began, to Cow Island, where the
savages surrendered, is 1 $50 miles.
This march was made by infantry in
siXty-three days. For more than
thusand miles the narrow trail led
through an uninhabited wilderness.
They crossed the Rocky Mountains
and the outlying ranges, passed
through the great yellowstone
Park. land saw the geysers and the
falls of the Yellowstone as they toll
ed painfully through the high walled
canons in which that region abounds.
AS all the world knows, the hostile
Nez Perces were finally captured by
troops that had been gathered at the
Grow Wing Agency on the Upper
! Missouri to watch Sitting Bull, who
had crossed into the British terri
tory. General Sheridan directed
| General Miles to make a rapid march
across the country and head off
Joseph before he reached the British
line. The intercepting column struck
the Indians just as they emerged
from Bear Paw Mountain, and after
two days fighting captured the
whole band. General Howard
hurried forward with his staff, and
was present at the surrender. His
troops were within twenty-five miles
of the battle field, but did not get up
in time to take any part in the fight.
The honor of capturing the jaded In
dians belongs to General Miles, who
happened to be stationed with force
of cavalry near the line of ,JCseph's
retreat; but this in nowise detracts
from the honor that belongs to Gen
eral Howard and his gallant com
mand for following the Indians near
ly two thousand miles through the
wilderness, and whipping them
whenever they risked an engage
ment.-BdltiDaore american.

A LIVE Hog PUr UP AIR-TIGHT.
Mr.. James p. Bennett, living one
mile east of New London, had his
straw stack to blow over on the 26th
of Sept, which buried shoaS alive,
and after making some search for the
shoat and not finding it, he copclud-
ed that it had been killed, and on
the 9th day of November, hearing
pig squeal, he made search and
found tho same lost shoat nestled in
a small hole under the stack in the
manure, and took him out well and
hearty, but thin in flesh, making him
sixty-one days without food or drink.
The above, though miraculous in its
nature, can be certified to by Mr.. b.

ceipt for putting up live pork air.

mally, the bile remains in the system,
Vitiating and perverting every vital pro-
cess, and causing Boils, Carbuncles,
Blotches, Pinples, Coughs, Bronchitis,
Asthma, Consumption, Dysentery, Kid
rey and Bladder diseases, and many other
disorders, all originating directly or indi-
1ectly from the Liver. keller's Vegetable

the Liver by providing for the removal Of
the hillary constituents by the Bowels,
