speech Of Hon. James r.. ChaI'


The House bad under consideration
the Military Academy Bill, and the dis
cussion had taken 9 sharp sectional
turn BY reason of some Northern mem
bers asserting that the Democratic side
wished to strike ct the army, and that
for every offer at Cancellation q blow
has been returned at the force. Gen.
Chalmers having gained the floor,
spoke as follows:
MI. Chairman, | did not desire to
take any part In this discussion, but l

The Jews Ms Citizens.

"The healthy know not Of their health,
but they that are sick" Such is the
ancient proverb upon which Carlyle

tic.
This proverb, and C~arlyle's essay
upon it, have been brought forcibly to
our mind as circumstances lately di.
rected our attention 10 the fact that the
Jews, as citiz n Of our country and
jewellers OF our cities, are rarely ever

classes. Who ever saw a Jew a beg.
gar, or heard Of one in an almshouse?
They never figure IN our police courts
contribute nothing to the literature OF
domestic scandals aud so rare among
them is the commission Of a grave crime
thai when one of their nation Is guilty
OF such an act, the strangeness of the
Circumst4nce j. the chief element OF
novelty, and the whole Jewish people
feel that il is a kind of personal
disgrace.
Looked upon in this light the Jew:
are among the most valuable citizens
we have. They are industrious, frugal,
aud honest. They pay their proper.
ton OF taxes for the support Of the
government cheerfully. while they
impose ne taxes in the way OF adding
any cnst 10 the care Of either the pau
per or the criminal classes. Their
family troubles, II they ever have any,
are never aired In the newspapers or
the courts, aud In a great many respects
they are worthy to be held up as
models for the imitation q all.
Aside from the value of the Jews as
citizens considered from this negative
standpoint we cannot but notice that
from being a once stigmatized people,
they are now regarded as entitled To-,
and are treated with the consideration
which merit aud intelligence, according
TO our theory Of socie Y, everywhere
command. When Judge Hilton last
summer promulgated IL famous or.
der they should o be received at his
hotel in Saratoga, the whole country,
through the press, resented the insult.
For as the Jews increase in wealth they
are everywhere found 10 increase In
intelligence and culture. In their
families they are especially devoted as

The late decision of the Supreme
Court upon the subject of tax titles fell
like thunderbolt among the people,and
will cause the present Legislature to
make alterations in the tax laws. We
believe, however, that every Legisla-
ture assembled in this State feels 1t a
binding duty to change the revenue
laws, 10 far as relates to collection,
sales and redemption of lands Rose

The decision alluded to was the best
decision ever rendered by the Supreme
Court of this State. 1t meant simply
that oil shall bear the burdens Of taxa
ton fairly, according to law. 1t gives
the authorities power TO collect taxes ;
1t increases the respect of all law.abid-
ing people for the Court and for the
Government, and 1t will, in a short
time, completely antidote the Sinking
Of taxes by those able to pay them, aud
thus make the burdens Of Government

PRIMARY READING
inc. J. SWARTz, Vice Z

The lesson previously assigned is a
lesson about 1.-The Cow" Of course
the picture of a COW, with all her sur
rOundIngs, is first made the subject Of
familiar conversation with the class.
Every object in the picture is minute
~ noticed and discussed. First to de-
Yelop close observation. Second to
cultivate language and interest the
class. Next, the more difficult words
of the lesson, in their disconnected
forms, are dWelt upon, until all in the
class have mastered them, so that they
can readily name them at sight. The
class is now prepared to read the lesson,
either from the book or from the board
where it may appear in the printed
form. After the lesson has been read
several times, according to the usual
manner, the majority of the class will
read it from memory, having heard it
repeated so often. Here the inventive
teacher must present the same subject
in some other form. BY bearing in
mind the chief words of the lesson the
teacher can easily recombine them,
and also bring into use words used in
previous lessons, thus giving to the
class the words previously presented
but in a different combination. The
newly arranged lesson can be present
ed in lively and spirited manner by
the teacher so that the interest of the
class shall be continuous. While the

We wish to say one word III refer
ence to this first meeting of teachers
We hope that each teacher will make
it duty to be present at this our frst
meeting. The committee think they
have selected subjects worthy OF our
attention and consideration. Last
winter our meetings in the eastern part
Of the county were not wholly a fail
llre. but yet there was great room for
improvement.
The committee have decided that
the programme, prepared by them
shall be carried out.
The subjects and topics selected for
a meeting shall come in the order
named; and whenever meeting fails
to convene, if such should be the
case, that the next one on the pro-
gramme shall follow in it's regular or
der.
If we, as teachers, could realize the
great need of being better qualified for
our positions, there would not be re-
uuired that constant call fer attention
to subjects that we should be perfect
ly familiar with.
Effort will cease to be labor when
we take pleasure in grathering from
the ripe fields of knowledge, and to en-
rich ourselves with all the means we
can command.
We are not aware Of any regular
plan of work being adopted in any 9TH
er section of the county. We hope the
teachers throughout the county will
make every effort to be present at, not
only the meeting, which are near to
them, but those which are not so near
We would say: Talk the meetings
up in your several districts. Awaken
an interest long before the meeting
convenes in your district. Let the peo-
pie know that you are all thoroughly
alive to your profession. Don't wait
for the people to know by means of
the press, but have the subjects placed
before them at an early day. At this
meeting we shall distribute the pro-
grammes prepared by the committee.
We hope to have our worthy Sup't.
with us at this meeting as well as 9TH
ers.
The meeting will be called to order
at nine o'clock A. M.

1T is surprising to notice the interest
that may be awakened in this manner
The little ones leave the recitation,
feeling that they have had a real pleas
ant recitation, and, with all their work,
some little fun. DO not try to suppress
mirth, but let it find its legitimate way
out of the mind of the child, by means
Of good laugh, if necessary, and then
pass on to cheerful work. A good
clear tone Of voice, distinct articula-
ton, proper position of the body and
head, are all of such great Importance,
that no teacher does his full duty, who
fails to call attention to them, even IN
the most primary reading class. Pri-
mary teachers above all others should
be kind-hearted, patient, and forbear-
ling, but Withal firm and precise in
their manner of governing. The dali
ly reward Of knowing that you have
added to the pleasures Of happy, merry
childhood, that you have done what
you could to direct the feet of little
'erring ones to better paths and nobler
lives. is reward enough to strengthen
