THE National Educational Convention now
In session at the Congregational Church, should
be veoy large and intelligent body. The
cause Is one that should attract numerous
congress Of tho leading educators Of the
country here annually to compare notes of
progress and to suggest improvements in tho
practical prosecution Of instruction. 1t Is
about time that we as = nation should come TO
understand that we have by no means
reached perfection In the art Of in
struction. We should consider that cram
ming Is no. soquirenent, that thumbins
largo number Of books, and frequently chang
ing them Is not an eiucatioH that rushing one
through schools ssand colleges docs not ncces-
| sarily constitute him scholar; and last but
not least, that being grad uatcd from norma
school does not always make a prima tacie cas-
| Of fitness to teach. Some traits are innate and
some qualifications arc to be, or may be
acquired. What our schools should do well In
the first instance, Is to ground the scholar
thoroughly in the rudiments, This done, In
these days Of large facilities for reading the
rest Is comparatively easy.
| We have observed with regret growing
tendency to advance scholars from grade Il
grade with undue haste. The great object o.
tho teacher should be to attract thought in tbs
scholar. The author Of the textbook may ba
good thinker, but scholars should not b,
taught to take announced results in the books
ON faith in the author. They should be in
duced to try, and to prove, the truth or falsity
of the author. They should develope and en-.
large their minds by ascertaining for them
solves tho why's" and ''wherefores" Of re.
suits.
Rudimental knowledge, gained and proved
by this analytical course, although years may
be spent in its requirement, will be thorough
and afford the basis for Intelligent reading
study aud observation that will never csase t.
! add to the store of knowledge while life on
dures. Our education Is mover finished in thi,
life, and we have reason to suppose that 1t vii
continue in the life to come. 1t is to be hoped
that these annual meetings of educators will
be encouraged and continued for the discussion
of important educational topics. o.

Ducks or bonnets.

We are gratifed to observe that the
press in several quarters is inveighing
against the tyranny of the tall bonnet
in public assemblages The male
sex is willing to concede thatupon the
street pyramid of hair, surmounted
by duck Of a bonnet, may be hand
some but in the churches, theatres
or concert-rooms it IS a grinding
tyrann- to ell who sit behind it. 1t
is high time for the male sex to strike
for freedom, and rally to the cry of
"Down with the bon cts p 1t is
wearying to the patient soul of the
most devout christian to sit in church
behind a woman with a worldly bon
net on the summit of turret, her
and other people's-hair, like the
tower of Lebanon that looketh towards
Damascus. The devout person behind
has to crane his neck one side and the
other to catch the words of wisdom
that fall from the lips of the holy
man, and vet the bonnet, by slight
and dexterous motion, can completely
thwart that pious purpose. In the
concert-hall the tall bonnet is still
greater tyranny. Hair, ribbon and
feathers are not good conductors of
sound, and they shut out the view of
the soloists. The average male is
compelled to dodge one side or the
other to catch the expensive quayer
and demisemi-quaves, roulades and
trills that he purcased when he bought
his ticket. If this brought any sub
stantial happiness to lovely woman, if
the music sounded sweeter to her be-
cause she excludes man from its en-
ioyment, we would bear orr sorrow
uncomrlainingly. But we believe
that she suffers under her weary
weight Of stateliness, and we believe
that often when her smile is careless
and gay, down in her hearts depth
she is gnawed with vain desire and
envy of the lightness and the freedom
of the bald-headed man that she so
uthlessly representations Co.

Something NeW!!
Che'1q Weng's Starch Polish and
Chinese Washing Blue.

For putting on the same gloss and
hard pearl finish to Shirts, Collars, &C.,
as when bought new, at cost of one
cent per week. 1t beats the world
With greenemigrant servant we can
polish linen equal to any Laundry in
America. 1t causes the iron to run
smoothly, and prevents rust. 1t
makes an old shirt look new. 1t gives
the linen such smooth, glossy finish,
that dust and dirt will not stick
to it. A woman can do her ironing
in one half the time, and the clothes
smell sweet and fresh.
Every box of the Cheng Weng con-
tains package of Chinese Washing
Blue from which large S-ounce Bot
tie Of Liquid Bluing can be made in
one m;aute without cost if necessary
this can be demonstrated at any time
and ii will be seen now quickly the
Dlueing is made from the powder, con-
vinclng any person that they are &C.
tually getting the price of the Box in
Blueing alone, besides having a large
box of the Cheng Weng that will last
a family many months.
1t is the most economical article
that can be used, costing only about
one cent to do the ironing of large
family. Warranted not to injure
the clothes, but will make them last
much longer, because they do not have
to go through the wearing out process
of washing and starching so often. 1t
gives the linen such smooth, glossy
surface, that the dust and dirt will
not adhere to it, so that it will keep
clean much longer. Even would it
keep clean no longer the beautiful
gloss finish which is impaired is sufli-
cient inducement to bring it into gen
eral use. The Polish is packed in a
slide box, containing "a Lozenges
which will last an ordinary family six
months.
The Cheng Weng Chinese Washing
Blue from Hong Kong is without any
doubt the best in the world. II nev-
er settles when in water, and contains
ten times the amount of blueing prop
erty of ordinary bottle blueing.
Give it one trial and you will al
ways use it.
Each box contains 80 cents worth of
polish which is sold at half price
thirty cents per box.
Beware Of travelling swindlers
who will offer you bogus article for
% to 35 cents per boz and thus steal
your money.

County who sells the only genuine

Hans and Fritz.

Hans and Fritz were two DeItschers who
lived side by side,
Remote from the world, its deceit and its
pride;
With their pre,zels and beer the spare mo.

And the fruits of their labor were peace and
content.
Hans purchased horse Of neighbor one
day,
And, lacking part of the Geld-as they
say
Made call upon Fritz to solicit loan,
TO help him pay for his beautiful roam.
Fritz kindly consented the mcnegto lend,
And gave the required amount to his fiiend;
Remarking--his own simple language to
"Be,haps it vas bedder We make US note"

Paid back the amount and from debt he

Thousands of AmdaVitS.

Many having used "patent' and
prepared medicines and failed in find
ing the relief promised, are thereby
prejudiced against all medicines. Is
this right? Would you condemn all
physicians because one failed in giving
the relief promised? Some 90 to
California in search of gold, and after
working hard for months and finding
none, return home and say there is no
gold there. Does that prove it?
Many suffering with Catarrh and pull
monary affections have used the
worthless preparations that crowd the
market, and in their disappointments
say there is no cure for Catarrh. Does
that prove it? Does it not rather
prove that they have failed to employ
the proper remedy? There are thou
sands Of people in the United States
who can make an affidavit that Dr..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy and DR.,
Pierces Golden Medical Discovery
have effected their entire cure. Many
had lost all sense of smell for months,
and pieces of bone had repeatedly
been removed from the nasal cavities.

To Advertisers.

With the settlement Of the Presi-
Dental contest and the opening of the
Spring, there will be revival of trade
in all its branches. Judicious busi-
ness men will be sure to advertise
literally, in order to reap the largest
harvest during the season ofpgosperity
The attention of intending adver-
tisers is called to the JOURNAL as the
best medium in the county for bring
ing their business before the public
The advertising columns Of the
JOURNAL have heretofore been very
Gberally patronized, and in view of its
increasing influence and circulation,
and its constant and intelligent advo-
cacy Of the best business interest of
our section, it is confdentially expect
ed that it will continue to receive a
generous share of the public patronage.
In this connection We arc gratiGed
to note numerous testimonials received
from various patrons of the real value
and efficiency of the JOURNAL as an
advertising medium. So pronounced
are these we are led to expect CON
tinuance of the favor already liberally
bestowed upon us. This anticipation
is strengthened by the adoption of a
new and reduced scale of rates to
take effect April lst, with which our
solicitor will shortly wait upon our
friends.

which greatly exceeds that of the first

entertaining and thrilling records of
arctic adventure that have appeared
for long time. The article is fully

Woolson has story Of early Virginia
colonial life, that is strikingly origi-
nal in its incidents and method. An
0 her short story, by Matilda Joslyn
Gage, entitled "The Walking Fern"
is of American village-lire; it has
some good characterizatioa and un-
hackneyed incidents. Juan Haw-
thorne, under the title Of The Great
White Wall, describes, in Ills own
characteristic aud efscti~o style, fea-
lures of the English solth coast.
There is paper by Mr.. t,ggleston on
the peculiar religious sects in Russia,
derived from Wallace and Hepworth
Dixons recent books on that country.
Mr., George M. TJwle CLEANS some of
the best points in Harriet Martineau's

seasonably the making of country and

companied by an admirable illustra-
ton from the pencil Of Alfred Fred
ericks. The serial Cherry RipeF

Good News 10 Every Family.

40 more loss Of Life or destruction Of
Property By II explosion Of Kero-
Sene.
1t is fearful to think that during
the short space of 4 year, there were
over SIS, 100000 worth OF property
destroyed in the United States, by the
explosion ofkeros one or coal oil lamps;
yet the destruction Of property is moth
ing compared to the loss Of life. No
less than 1000 men woman and child
rem, came to an untimely end during
the past year by the explosion Of lamps,
to say nothing OF those persons who,
after terrible sutferings have at last
recovered, but were dis6gured for
life.
No wonder then that we say
"Good News to Every Family" when
Professor Thompson's Non-Explosive
Lamp Powder is guaranteed to render
the worst kerosene as safe as COM
mon candle and prevents the breaking
and smoking of lamp chimneys.
In few days the agent for this
county, Conrad Differ, will visit the
families for the purpose of introducing
this very necessary household preper-
alton, when for the trihing sum of 20
cents package can be procured which
may perhaps be the means of saving
life and property. ~
