PRACTICAL HINTS.

henry Sabin says, in an article in
the Central School Journal: Teach
ers should be judged, as far as posi-
bic, not by the amount OF knowledge
which they seemingly impart, but by
the efforts which they induce the child
to put forth for himself III acquiring
knowledge. To teach is not to sim
plify every step until there is no real
work for the child: neither is it to lee
ture to the class, displaying the I'M
mense knowledge of the teacher.
1t is rather to arouse, excite, stimulate.
all the activities Of the child's mind,
SO that the requirement Of knowledge,
through study and Investigation, be-
come a source Of pleasure.
If you would keep a bright schol-
ar out Of mischief, give him enough
to keep him busy. If you assign him
no harder task than you do scholars of
average talents, how is lie to employ
himself except in mischief.
The natural history department of
the Milwaukee College is peculiarly
strong when compared with most
other Western colleges for young
women. The cabinet of meteorological
and geological specimens is we'll filled
but the selection and variety of the
specimens is particularly good, and is
much more noticeable than the amount
of space occupied. The anatomical
collection is excellent, illustrating
everything essential to good under
standing Of the laws Of heal th, SO far
as they can be learned from anatomy.
THE specimens III entomology and Or
anthology are numerous. They are
placed in the hands of students to be
studied and classified. This is the on
ly way to make practical natuIalists.
There are 400 colleges in this coun-

A Cap that Fits Many.

The following paragraph taken

thy careful perusal:
We cannot afford to carry dead
head subscribers, hence the drop
ping from our books recently of the
names of some of the patrons OF
the journal. 1t seems to be the
opinion of some people that we
shoi.!d spend our money and give
our time and what ability we may
possess for their edificatiOn, MS we
art often saluted with "please give
me Il paper" Now, if we were to
apply to one of our store-keepers
for Il ham. or to our bu, cher for a
quarter of a lamb, or to a farmer
tor d inilch COW, they would un-
tloubte,liy expect pay for said ar
tirlcs, the sum involved may be
larger than the price of single
newspaper, yet the principle is the
same. We have TO pay cash for
everythingI therefore, we say to
all who wish to read their parish
paper, pay your subscription, or
bring along five cents wheu yon
want a single copy.

Closing Scenes in the Life of Remarkable
Confederate Senator Flashes for
Moment Across the Dark
Ho lion OF The
Lost Cause"


| Chicago Times.
The Confederate flag dropped
over the halls Of the Richmond cap.
itol one evening in the "purple
mists." Away off in the thicketS Of
the wilderneSs-that swamp of
dcath-the veterans of the North
pressed steadily on, Il monster of
destruction, the numbers of which
were like the graz SEES upon which
they crouched. The ambuscade
and the jungle peered at each other.
The in> adler did not dash forward,
did not hurl his legionS to the front
and move on in the pOmp which
gathered about the "march to the
sea-" 1t was a pressure, heavy and
ponGrr0uS as the slow approach of
leviathan; II masSing OF some
thing which seemed too immense to
he moved except by inches-So
great and compact that the van
guard aud the rear rank might have
signaled each other by wave OF
Il hat, over the forest of bayOnets
and uodding heads that bent for
ward. The heavy iDtonations OF
the guns shook the earth and ap-
pealed to heaven, and the scar-worn
mass Of humanity moved up another
step. In front of them, grim and
gauut,. dccimated and nnplumaged,
stood the fOrlorn hope OF cause
around the baniief Of Which not Il
victorious shout had BEEN raised for
months. At every movement made
by the mighty mass in front of this
chestly line, it fell back, but each
receding step was marked by the
same desperation with which a giant
shorn of his strength would go to
his death. 1t was not Because it
was unexplained, for it never wa

chief. to whom it looked IN a faith
that was sublime enough, had it
been placed in God, to have leveled
the hills of the earth to the surface.
II was not because it had begun to

for that, no matter what the, verdict
of history may be, it never aid. On
the contrary, as the temple toppled
anil fell by piecemeal; the battered
and defeated battalion-for to such
had the legions been reduced -only
knelt about the shrine to consecrate

An Arkansas Scandal-The ElOpe-
ment of. a Lawyer With His
Wifeps Sister.

J.
Hotspripgq (Ark) Sentinel.
One of the rising men of Arkan.
sas, an able lawyer, prosecuting
attorney of the eighth judicial cir
cult, spoken of as q probable candi-
date fur the United States senate,
Capt. John ID. McCabe, about the
I1th inst; left his home and family
in Arkadelphia, via Texarkana and
Omaha to Utah. with his wife's Sis
ter, Miss Sallie Barkman, who was
educated at the convent in Little
Rock. For a preacher, this seduc'
ton, .desertion, fight, would not
have been a remarkable feat. But
McCabe stood high ut the bar ami
had the universal confidence. His
wife, formerly Miss Caddie Bark
man, is a lady of rare beauty yet,
aud they have very promising
soil fourteen years of age. The sis-
ter. is plain compared with the wife.
About the oath of May the wife
received a letter post-iDarked Oma-
ha:
Il MAY, 1878.-Caddie: God knows
[ d piore the anguish this letter
will cause. The world may well
denounce me for the step l am
about to take, as | am leaving
wife, family, home, all. To refer
to the past would be an insult, but
in the future | can only look TO
God to protect yotF and Percy.
~. ID. NJ
Upon the receipt of this letter
Mrs. McCabe fell fainting to the
floor. and for two weeks she was
not exreGted to survive the sudden
aud tiuel blow. She has ut length
recoe cred So as to raise from her
bed, the ghost of her former self,
mn. BILE to speak II word OF COM
plaint against the wrong doers.
No further tidings have been re-
ceived of the tugitives. The friends
Of Capt. McCabe are dumb with
amazement at the sacrifice he has
made. The act was one which rs
mad as it is inexcusable. The leav-
ing lovely and intellectual woman
the bride of his youth, and a prom
ising son, neither of whom can
any of the disgrace Of this event
attach, the abandonment OF sue
cessful legal career and the prom
Use of brightpolitical future, seems
we'll calculated to make us doubt
whether the actions of men are
any longer within their own con-
troll or that of reason.
Capt. McCabe resided in Biloxi
a year or so before the war. He
was highly esteemed by all who
knew him. There is no telling
what the animal man will do.

THE THREE BELLS.

This poem refers to the well-kuown re
cue of the crew OF an American yessc
sinking in mid-ocean, by Capt. Leighti,
of the English ship, Three Bells. Unabl
to take them off, in the night and I'll
storm, he stayed by them until mornin,
shouting to them from time to ime throUg
his trumpet, "Never fear, bold on, L
stand by you" ....t
Beneath the low-hnug night cloud
That raked her splintering mast,
The good ship settled slowly,
The cruel leak gained fast.
Over the awful ocean
Her signal guns pealcd out; ..
Dear God was thai thy answer,
From the horrors round abouts
A voice came down the wild wind
lio! ship ahoy" its cry
"Our stout Three Bells of Glasgow
Shall stand till daylight by"
Hour after hour crept slowly,
Yet on the leaving swells
Tossed up and down the ship-lights-
The lights of the Three Bells.
Aud ship to ship made signals;
Man answered back to man;
While oft, to cheer and hcartcn,
The Three Bells nearer ran.
And the captain from her tatfrail
Sent down his hopeful cry;
"Take heart hold onw he shouted
"The Three Bells shall stand byw
All night across the water ,. ..
The tossing lights shone clear;
All night from recling tatfrail
The Three Bells sent her cheer.
And when the dreary watches
OF storm and darkness passed,
just as the wreck lurched under,
All souls were saved at last.
Sail on three Bells, forever, ..
In grateful memory sail
Ring on, Three Bells of rescue,
Above the wave and gale!
As thine, in night and tempest,
hear the masters cry,
And tossing through the darkness,
The light of God draw nigh.

Afternoon Men.

There is proverb which says "What
can be done at any time is never done,
and applies especially to a class who
have become slaves to the habit of pro-
crastination, the habitual postponing
Of everything that they are not COM
PEELED by necessity to do Immediately.
Now, delays are not only damaging to
present prospects, but they are destruc-
tive of ultimate success. A dilatory man
is not to be depended upon. The
slightest pretext is sufficient for him to
disappoint you. If an employee, the
sooner he is discharged, the greater the
advantage to the employer. There are
those who may properly be called "af-
ternoon men," They are always busy
getting ready to go to work. In the
morning they walk around, carefully in
spect their duties, and say "Plenty to
do to-day. must go to work this af-
ternoOn y About three o'clock they
survey what they haven't done, and OK
claim some thing and another
has prevented me from making any
headway to-day. I'll quit, and begin
bright and early tomorrow morning. I"
One day with them is simply the refiec-
tion of another, There is nothing ac-
complished in a whole life ; and their
western sun overtakes them and finds
no preparation for the wants and infirm-
tiles of age. There is nothing to look
back upon but squandered time. One
hours exercise in the morning loosens
the muscles of the limbs, sets the blood
dancing in the veins, and fits a man
physically and mentally for the days
activity while one hours sloth after
breakfast produces topper from which
it is almost impossible to rally.

Says Comey in his recently issued work, The

people thus realizing. in their liberal patron

Noted in both public and private life for his
answering integrity and all those sterling
virtues that ennoble manhood, DIR. Pierce
ranks high among those few men, whose
names the Empire State is justify proud to in
scribe upon her roll of honor. Ambitious, yet
moved by an ambition strictly amenable to the
most discriminating and well-balanced judg-
ment, his future career promises to be one Of
unparalleled activity and usefulness, ably sup
plementing the work he has already accom-
plished, by life at once noble in effort

genius and energy have won for him 81 envi-

Frozen to Death in the South.

Isaac Griffin, a colored man, aged
a'out eighty years, and who has been in
very feeble condition for some time
past, was found dead ON recent Friday
morning in West Feliciana parish, La,
on hill in the rear of the Levy & Adler
property. Coroner Ball held an inquest.
The facts showed that Griffin met his
death from exposure to the cold while in
an extreme state of physical prostration,
he having laid upon the ground without
cover or shelter during the entire night
previous,
