delivery and was carefully prepared docu-
ment After few Introductory remarks as
to the interest to be taken in the enterprise,
he touched upon the various subjects included
in the order of exercises, enlarging upon the
Importance of primary instruction, and of
attention to principles in the matter of teach
ing In referring to the mistakes and errors
in the school system he was careful to advise
remedies He defined the advantages of an
Institute and urged its permanent establish
ment and clearly defined the business of the
teacher. Upon the subject of the co-opera-
ton of parents he drew the picture of the
average parents idea of teacher, Wis. that of
q nurse, rather than a mind trainer, and
made strong plea for concert of action and
sympathy between the home and the school.
His remarks on trustees were positive and
definite and the necessity of electing good
men for the position advocated. The lecture
ended with a very practical putting of the
subject of labor in relation to education,
which was very forcible in its application to
the manner of doing things on this coast. The
lecture was listened to with attention and
was well received throughout. The exercises
with an essay of marked ability by Miss
Everett of Gold Hill. Some very choice
pieces of music were rendered by volunteers
under the direction of Mr. Chas. E. Laughton.
The Institute is thus far decided success and
will doubtless continue to be. The gentlemen
are an intelligent looking set, and the ladies,
well. they were beautiful, bright, beamng,
bewildering, and everything that is nice. The
session to-day will commence at 10 o'clock
precisely The subject in the morning will
be primary instruction, with an essay by
Miss Fleming of Carson, and an experimental
class to be taught by Miss Salkeld of Gold |
Hill. In the afternoon the subject will be |

A BRIGHT little teacher from Reno has sent
us a new conundrum She did not say any
thing about publishing it, but she is making
50 much capital out Of it and has not attended
to cOpyrighting, that we feel free to publish
it for the benefit of our readers. ''What is
the difference between lemon and potato?
We tried to think of the pecling and the soft
ness, and all that sort of thing, and finally
had to give it up. The answer is very simple.
She says, with great surprise, Don't you
know the difference? Then you needn't get
any lemons for me- Any one who fails to see
the point can read it over again We are
going down to get her lemon.

The Inland Route.

There should be an inland route.
large enough for vessels of great
size, from New York to Whining
ton. There should certainly be
canals all the way equal IN size to
the Albemarle and Chesapeake
canal.
There are two reasons that should
settle this question. First, Il safe
passage is demanded by the eXigen-
cies of commerce. 1t is well known
how dangerous is the North Caro-
lima coast at certain seasons of the
year. 1t is absolutely necessary
that an Inland Route should be
opened all the distance.
Second. In time of war such a
passage or route would be found of
the greatest importance.
If the United States Govern
ment is controlled by wisdom it
will not be long before such a route
is completed.
We copy "A paragraph from the
Washington ID. c. Gazette, that
gives Il recent instance of the use OF
such ii canal. A steamer left Bos-
ton for the inland waters of North
Carolina, by way of Long Island
Sound
''The Oliole being a sido-wheel
steamer of light draught was not
fit for an ocean trip, and her own
ers desired she should 90 south by
the canal Inland Route from New
York, but on measurement 1t was
ascertained that the locks on the
Delaware & Raritan. and Chesa
peake & Delaware canals were long
enough, but only twenty-four feet
wide, while the Oriole was thirty
| seven feet wide. Here was a diem
ma The Oriole had to proceed to

Hogs.

We condense from the Journal
of Agriculture the following in re-
gard TO the breed of hogs:
1st. Berkshires.--A medium
sized black, white tail tips, white
feet and a white snip; short legs,
long bodies, short faces, noses small
and upturned, and upright ears.
They mature early, are good gra-
zers and feeders.
2nd. The Poland Chiras.-Are
long bodied, short legged, varying
IN color-usually black and white
grow to az immense size and are
highly priced by Western pork
raISerS.
3rd. The Chester-Are white,
mature slowly, grow to large size,
subject to mango and have lost
their popularity.
18th. The Sutfolk-The improved
Suffolk is a cross on the Chinese
round bodied, short legs, small
head, large jowls. medium sized +;
will weigh at l. months old $50 to
800 pounds. Are considered excel
lent porkers.
9Th. The Essex-Is a black, with
large lop ears, little or no hair,
coarser than the Berkshire; makes
an excellent cross on the Berkshire;
natures early, giving large weights
at 10 to II months of age.
Our experience has been that a
cross from the Berkshire or Essex
upon our unnamed domestic breeds
for wood rangers, are about as well
adapted to our home system Of
caring for hogs and fattening pork
as the thoroughbred.

Perfume of Flowers.

The perfume of flowers may be
gathered in Il very simple way,
without any apparatus. Gather the
flowers with as little stalk as posi-
bic, and place them in a jar three
parts full of olive oil. After being
IN the oil twenty-four hours, put
them in a coarse cloth and squeeze
the oil out of them. This process
with fresh flowers is to be repeated,
according to the strength of per-
fume desired. The oil, being thus
thoroughly scented with the flow
ers, is to be mixed with an equal
quantity of pure rectiiel spirits
and shaken every day for a fort
night then poured off, ready for
use. Duriny the season for sweet
scented blossoms any one a try it
without any great trouble or eX-
pense. 1t would lend additional
interest to the cultivation of flow
els.

What Family ofTates Owned
Him

Among the heroes who have sac
riticed their lives to save the sick
and suffering in the South should
be classed DR.. Robert H. Tate, of
Cincinnati. He was born a slave
in North Carolina-served through
the wal as a servant in the Con-
federate army and studied medi-
cine after the surrender. He volun-
teered to go to Memphis and died
while doing his duty nobly in that

came known to the world through
her "Siamese Twins" and at a
later period achieved some fame as
the owner of "Bald Mountaln,

female '.Double-Decker" Ito use

the ',Dalt, salt sea')-of African
lineage, recently arrived from Eng

HeruM report of her return is as
follows :

malIoyed English, as Miss Mile
Christine rose upon her four feet,

four) and bowed her two heads IN

He bowed first to one head and

how many hands he ought to

II we are not mistaken, the

Our SILVER CoIN.-The New
York Shipping List SAYS
The Mexican dollar is refused BY
most tradesmen, except at q dis
count OF ten per cent. 1t weighs
on an average, 4l5.GS grains, and
is 99l parts fine, so that it contains
3.4.53 grains, nearly. Of pure sill
yer. That is four and one quarter
more than our standard silver dol
lar, and three and one-half grains
less than the Trade dollar.
At the present rate of silver, the
standard dollar is worth 50 cents,
the Mexican dollar, 9O.l cents, and
the Trade dollar, 800 cents. The
Trade dollar which is no more
legal tender than the dollar of
Mexico, will soon be thrown out
also. The standard American dol
lar having an enforced legal value,
it may be used to pay debts already
incurred, but for cash payments IN
large amounts, it will only be ac-
cepted at Il discount.
