TEACHING REFORM IN BOSTON.

Teaching has taken a new departure
in the public schools Of Boston. In the
primary schools the instruction is almost
entirely oral. Pupils are to learn from
objects and from the teacher, instead of
from the book. The spelling-book is
abandoned, and easy words from the
reading lessons are substituted for the
monotonous rag, tag, bag, etc., over which
the small boy and girl have heretofore
nodded. In the grammar grade is less
parsing, and the spelling-book is also
cast aside, and it's place supplied by
words from the reading lessons. Wri-
ting in copy.books is redrred Ny" +Nlf
ne 'li,. osaSf writing increased. Geogra-
ply time has also been reduced. The
chief feature of the change is oral teach
ing in placeo of the old slavish book meth
dds. The result of the experiment will
be watched with interest. It a system
adapted only to first'Class teachers, a
sort everywhere too scarce.
Of course the blackboard is much used,
and getting lessons at home avoided. In
fact the teacher teaches; and helps the pu-
pills, and sees how and that they do get
their lessons. By this method, too, the
plan of rushing through books without
understanding them is impossible. Sol
omon says: sect wisdom, but with all
thy getting, get understanding"

1t is source of much pleasure and
qualification to notice articles as the
following which appeared in recent
number of the Patriot and Herald, pub
lishedas Marion, Va:

daily adding to its already justly won
celebrity. From all sections of the
country, we receive the most favorable
accounts of its great efficacy. 1t has
been used with the most satisfactory

for various diseases, such as Soar Throat,
Erysipelas, Dyspepsia and variety of
chronic affections. Nearly every one
who has tried it, speak of it as a wonder
full specific. As for my own experience,
can truly say, that l have never found

A BAD ELEMENT.

Chicago, st. Louis, Cincinnati, and
other large cities North, are just now
having scare over the reported arming
and drilling of large bodies of commun-
lists, who assign as their reason for thus
practicing military drill, that in the
event of further riots growing out of
! tie labor question they may be able to
! defend themselves against the State or
Federal troops if they shall be employed
against them. Although the matter is
undoubtedly greatly exaggerated, there
is no doubt very dangerous element at
work in the great centers of population,
| which, unless wiser counsels shall ulti-
mately prevail among them, will result
] in a great deal of mischief to the cOun-
| try This element is mainly led on,
and encouraged by class of individ-
uals. who no longer able to evade the
| police of their own countries, emigrate
to our shores, and taking advantage of
! the absolute personal liberty which here
exists, proceed to disseminate among
the dissolute classes their own loose no.
tions as to property and individual
rights, and find in them ready tools to
do their INSCRIPTIONS bidding. If their
influence was confined exclusively to the
reckless and criminal class of society it
would be bad enough, but unfortunate
| ly, owing to the long continual depres-
sion in business, there are thousands of
worthy poor who are sorely pinched in
bodily comfort for want of the labor
they would gladly perform if it could be
| had for the seeking, which it unfOrtu-
nately cannot. Taking advantage of
these facts, those willy demagogues who
are at the head of the Socialistic move
ment in this country lose no Opportnni-
ty to impress upon these unfortunate
people the idea that all their troubles
are owing to purposed wrongs on the
part of these, who, as capitalists, direct
in large measure the industries of the
country. Unfortunately the energy with
which their appeals are uttered often
blinds their hearers to the sophistry of
the arguments employed, and many
come to believe that society as now or

to encounter.
The only creed of this class of agita-
tors is, that all property is robbery, and
that the only way to right the wrongs of
the Iaboring classes is by the robbery
of all property" This class of men who
prate so loudly about the rights aud
wrongs of the lAboring classes, are in
variably those whose lifelong aversion
has been the doing of any productive
labor themselves, and while pursuing
their scenes for the Reorganization of
Society are by no means unwilling to
draw their support from the scauty
means of their followers.
It is not by the following of such lead
eIs that relief for the burdens of the
poor is to be obtained. In the unexam-
pied revulsion which followed our late
civil war, the rich have suffered as well
as the poor, and neither of them by any
special fault of their own. Millionaires
have become paupers, and once prosper
Gus bankers are now in bankruptcy.
Manufacturers, merchants, iron-makers,
have ell suffered in kind, il net in de-.
gree, and the general prostratien has
been felt throughout the world. Relief

Congress has been fooling away six
months of valuable time, to say nothing
of the peoples money. Their business
is very far behind Many of the most
important and necessary appropriation
bills are not yet before the house for it's
consideration, including the legislative,
executive, judicial, army and sundry
civil appropriation bills. Then there
are pending in the house the Texas Pa
cifc railroad subsidy bill, the Pacific
railroad funding bill, the bill for the es-
tablishment of a Pacific railroad COM
mission to regulate freight and passen-
ger tariffs and have general control over
the various Pacific railroads, on behalf
of the government; the bill extending
the time for the completion of the Nor

cate bill the Senate substitute for the
bill to repeal the resumption act the
postal savings bill the bill to allow ma
tiOnal banks to exchange their reserve
of United States notes for 4 per cent.

rolls the names of those who were strick-
en- off for disloyalty; the bill to pay ar
rears of pensions the bill to regulate
compensation of postmasters the bill
to transfer the Indian bureau to the war
department the bill to equip an Arctic
expedition besides a vast number of
southern claim bills, and a perfect tidal
wave of financial measures which must
all be disposed of somehow. 1t is time
that talking stopped and business began.

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion Of the American
people are to-day dying from the effects
Of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The
result of these diseases upon the masses
of intelligent and valuable people is
most alarming, making life actually a
burden instead of pleasant existence
of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought
to be- There is no good reason for this,
if you will only throw aside prejudice
and skepticism, take the advice of Drug
gists and your friends, and try one bot
tie of Green's August Flower. Your
speedy relief is certain. Millions of
bottles of this medicine have been given
away to try its virtues, with satisfactory
results in every case. You can buy a
sample bottle for 10 cents to try. Three
doses will relieve the worst case. Posi-
lively sold by all Druggists on the
Western Continent. For sale by w. p.

The United States Senate after the 4th
of March, 1879, win be Democratic. Phe
contest this fall for the possession of the
next House of Representatives will con
sequently be one of much Importance
and great interest, and will be fiercely
contested by the Democratic and Re
publican parties. 1t is among the posi-
Bilities that the next House may deter
mine the Presidency, if all the present
luminous prospects of the election of a
Democratic President by the people
in 1880 should be frustrated by fraud as
they were in 1875. in the present House
we have majority of only fifteen. A
change of eight members would reverse
the preponderance. Discussing the sit

details and presents these very significant
! facts: Fifteen Democratic members of

each. There are twenty-five members

only two Republicans fall below ma

Gen. Custar's order to the Third Cav
airy Division, issued April o, 1865, upon
the surrender of Lees army, has been
republished by the Cleveland Leader.
One sentence reads as follows:
"YOu have never lost a gun, never
lost color, and never been defeated
And, notwithstanding the numerous en-
gagemcnts in which you have borne a
prominent part, including those memo
rabIe battles of the Shenandoah, you
have captured every piece of artillery
the enemy has dared to open you.
The ALBANY ATgas in commenting
upon this says:
at is sad to reflect that eleven years
later this brave and gallant officer liter
ally threw his life away in the service
of the government, but not until he
had been deprived of his command and
Inundated and disgraced, to suit an ex-
igency of Republican policy. His only
offense was to obey a subpoena and tell
the truth concerning the guile and ra-
pacity of Republican office-holders.

PROGRESS OF o0NNUN1sM

The Communists are drilling nightly
in st. Louis.
Cincinnati follows Chicago closely
with the Commune business. She not
only claims that companies of Commun-
lists are organizing and drilling but that
they are backed with capital from secret
enemies of the country, and are armed
with breech-loaders. Altogether, that
Commune element is developing very
ugly look.-Kn0rUille Tribune.
Perhaps the most significant demon
stration of the Communistic spirit was
that exhibited by the great procession
of mill operatives at Fall River, Con
necticut, few days ago. The working
population to the number of 30, 900 turn
ed out and paraded the streets with ban
ners and music. The notices displayed
along the line of the procession revealed
certain tendencies towards solution of
the problem of the distribution Of wealth
other than the old-fashioned one which
was so popular with the working men
some years ago, of ian honest days
wages for an honest days work" On
one banner was the phrase, eff cheap
ldOOI Uc tue O'lSiS Vi prosperity why Is
China not the head of civilizations" Or
another was the motto, "a rich man
means much labor never paid for" This
brief platform was given on another:

Death has again been in our midst,
and taken one in the bloom of youth.
MATTE F. CARR1GER, second daughter
of James P. Carriger, ESQ, died last
Sunday afternoon at o'clock. The fu-
neral services were held Monday after
noon, at the Methodist Church, by her
pastor, Rev. c. T. Carroll, and the re-
mains were buried at Liberty Hill. She
was sick only three days. On Thursday
she was promptly at her seat in the
school-room, devoted to duty and ODE
lent to her teacher. She was loved and
respected by all. No one thought
when school closed that evening
that she was going out to return
no more. When the news came Sunday
afternoon that she was dead, a gloom
overshadowed many heart, because a
fair young life had closed its earthly
course, and pure sweet soul had pass
ed away She was good girl, and
gave evidence in her every day lie that
She was what she professed to be-the
| Christian. Her sudden death comes
| freighted with an important lesson to
the living, and brings to mind the in
| junction, q Be we also ready, for in such
an hour as we think not the Son of Man

defeat of the school tax by Al majority.

but little confidence from the substantial

In addition to this, the Democrat,
hold the Third Massachusetts District
as the result of contest, the count al
legged to show FIVE majority for the Re-
publican candidate, and another seat
from Colorado, also, as the result of a
contest. In the Thirty-frst New York
District also the Democratic candidate
was elected by 404, owing to Republi-
can split, which is counter-balanced by
a Democratic split in the Second Mis-
souri, District, giving it to the Republi-
cans by 314.
