Our Foreign Commerce.

From the monthly statement Of the
Chief of the Bureau of Statistics to the
Secretary of the Treasury, the excess of
exports over imports of merchandise
appears to have been as follows: Month
ended Sept. 80, 1877, $15, sos, 339; month
ended Sept. 80, 1878, $20,527,26 nine
months ended Sept. 80, 1877, $54, AGO.
1874 nine months ended Sept. 80, 1878,
09,130,487. The excess of imports
over exports of gold and silver (coin
and bullion) appears to have been as
follows: Month ended Sept. 80, 1877,
$756,771; month ended Sept 30, 1878,
$923,7O3. The excess of exports over
imports of gold and silver (coin and

Sept. 80, 1877, amounted to 1874, 7O6.7S0,

One Cause of Insanity.

DR.. Walker Kempster, of Oshkosh,
Wis, superintendent of the insane asy-
lum located there, recently read paper
before the Popular Science Society, of
Milwaukee, in which he took the ground
that the increase Of insanity is largely
due to the manner in which the minds
of children are injured by the common
school method of teaching. He in
Weighs against the unnaturl attempt to
fill the minds Of young persons with the
lessons of the textbooks, and dwells
with emphasis upon the injurious effects
of loading the memory only, without
the control and development of the
nobler faculties. The bad effect of the
present system, he thinks, is especially
noticeable on the health of young girls.
In some schools the more advanced
pupils have to begin their studies at an
earl y hour, and, with very brief inter-
walls, are obliged to spend the day and
evening in mastering their tasks. DR..
Kempster thinks that this inevitably
produces a morbid condition of both
mind and body. ...a~.
"The first aim of education" he con-
tinues, SHOULD be to promote physical
health, for without this there can be no
healthy development Of the mind. The
next aim should be to exercise and train
the mind in such manner as to bring
forth it's best powers. Recreation, hi
larity, and activity are essential to a Wig
orous mental condition, and there should
be no long continued exercise of the re-
Elective powers. The great object should
be to prepare the young for the useful
duties of life and much greater NUM-
Der of hours should be devoted to phys
ical and industrial exercises and recrea-
ton than to mental training" The SUI
perintendent Of the Boston public
schools takes the same view of the mat
ter, and, in a report just issued, Prof.
Elliot makes the suggestion that studies
should be simplifed so that costly, and
often difficult, textbooks should be
done away with in great measure. He
believes that the system now in vogue is
too intricate and too high for the masses
of children, because they can never
make any practical use of much they
try to learn. The plan he favors would
be to teach the pupils reading, writing,
geography and arithmetic we'll, and, if
any of them evinced desire or aptitude
for other studies, it would be well then
to let them have such instruction in ma
ture years from experienced professors
in high schools, but from these he would
eliminate every science of which the
pupils at best get but a "smattering."
For instruction in languages, astronomy,
algebra, chemistry, mechanics, natural
philosophy, and similar matters, he
would have American youth seek such
colleges or universities as can impart
thorough knowledge thereof, both theo-
retical and practical Chicago TTib-

The National Scourge.

1t Is estimated that the annual damages caused
by the ravages of insects and worms exceed
$4,000, 900 in the United States alone. Truly
an enormous loss Yet it sinks into insignif-
canoe when compared with the ravages of that
more terrible scourge, Consumption, which an
nualy sweeps hundreds of thousands OF hu-
man souls into eternity. The causes Of con-
sumption are various, depending IN every in
stance for the development of the disease upon
the scrofulous diathesis or temperament, of
the Victim. Thus, the same cause which will
produce IN one person an attack of acute dis
ease or slight nervous prostratlon, will en-
gender consumption III person OF scrofulous
haDN. That consumption can be cured by
proper treatment will be readily perceived when
the exact nature of the disease is understood
viz. the accumulation and deposition of scrof-
ulous matter (tubercles) in the lungs. Obvious
~, the principal remedies required are % a
powerful alternative, or ood-purifer, to arrest
the accumulatons and also cleanse the blood of
the scrofulous matter. and 81 a mild cathartic
to expel the diseased matter from the system.
This course of treatment In conjunction with
strict hyglenlc regime, has proved, the most
successful method of curing this disease. DR..

A Tennessee Tragedy

A terrible tragedy was enacted in
front of the residence of John T.
Gleaves, at Mount Joliet, Wilson coun-
ty, last night, resulting in the death Of
Constable Warpool and John Cloyd, the
former white, the latter colored. Dur
ing difficulty in the morning about
packing cotton, Cloyd shot and wounded
Winfield McWhorter. In the evening
McWhorters friends procured warrant
for the arrest Of Cloyd, and Constable
Frank Warpool was deputized by a
magistrate to arrest him. Warpool
summoned John Osborn, DR.. Raymer
and James McWhorter to help arrest
him. They started in pursuit of Cloyd,
and, arriving at the house of John Will
hanson, colored, found Williamson
armed with two pistols and gun. They
arrested him and started toward Green
Hill, thinking they would find Cloyd
there. When in front of the residence of
Gleaves they met Cloyd, whom Warpool
endeavored to take into custody Cloyd
resisted and shot Warpool, piercing his
forehead, killing him instantly. War
pool fell dead Immediately. DR.. Ray
mer was seriously shot through the arm

Suicide of a Famous Indian Chief.

Santanta, the Kiowa, who in his day
caused the Indian-fghters of the plains
all sorts of trouble, was sent to the
Texas penitentiary in 1871. He never
took kindly to prison life, but seemed
to be quite heart-broken by being de-
prived of his liberty. A few days ago
he cut his breast! and legs in or
der to bleed himself to death. He was
carried to the hospital, where he walked
out on the third-story piazza and sprung
over, killing himself in the fall.

The girl examined the shoes in the day-

the purchase of such pair of shoes at
that price. She decided to 90 and change
the shoes and obtain better bargain.
