LIPPINCOTT'S MAGAZINE.

LIPPINCoT's MAGAZINE for February,
contains number of articles of special
interest and merit. "With the Russians
is the first of series of papers, by Ed
Ward King, describing the seat of war,
the Russian army and its leaders, and
the Bulgarian people from personal oh.
servation, with illustrations from the
original drawings by an artist of the
London Graphic. Alfred T. Bacon's &C.
count of Syracuse, which forms the con-
Guiding paper of his "Month in Sicily"
and Prof James A. Harrison's "Glimpses
of Sweden" are equally vivid and in
structive, and are copiously illustrated.
Hunting in France" by L. Lejune,
shows knowledge of the country and its
sports such as no foreigner can possess,
and contains many graphic descriptions
and amusing anecdotes. Simpler, but
not less striking, is "a "Reminiscences of
the first Iron Clad Fight" by an officer
on board the Inflated Congress, whose
account of one of the most dramatic in
cidents of modern warfare is valuable
contribution to the history of the civil
war. "Thirty-five Years off Soundings"
is the punning title of paper by a
deaf contributor, who has made a close
study of his infirmity, and who relates
his experiences in a way that must en-
gage the sympathy of all his readers.
There are several capital stories in the
number and the Gossip" is fresh and
entertaining.

If it is any consolation to the people
of the West in the midst of the present
stringent times, to know that it is
equally as bad, or worse, somewhere
else, they can have it to the fullest ex.
tent. The following extract from cir
.cular issued short time since, by the
tax collector of Orange, New Jersey,
shows that people in the Eastern States
are quite as hard up as we are here:
Pursuant to an order of the Common
Council, you will hereby take notice
that, unless your tax for 1877, with in
terest thereon, shall be paid to me at
my Office on or before the Goth of De-
cember, l shall be compelled to enforce
the payment in the manner provided by
law, to wit: First, by distress and sale
of goods and chattels, and second, by
arrest of body of delinquents."

Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1878-02-09

WE learn with great pleasure that
our friends of the Presbyterian
Church have concluded very IA
vorable and satisfactory contract
with that old and well-established
house of Henry Erben & Co., New
York, to build fine organ for their
new and handsome edifice. The Or
gan will have two full sets of keys,
with two Octaves of pedals. There
will be twenty-four draw stops, we
believe, and all the modern improve
ments of a mechanical character,
composition pedals, ETC., will be in
corporated in it. Judging from the
schedule prices, we suppose that this
organ will fully rate at $1,000, but
advantageous arrangements have
been secured whereby it will be OBJ
tanned for a considerably less sum,
among which was liberal conces-
sion by the makers, and. free trans
portation from New York by the
Star Union Line, the latter obtained
through the influence of F. P. Gra-
cey & Bro. The stops of the organ
appear to be well selected, and the
combinations, we doubt not, will be
rich, full and grand. We congratu-
late our Presbyterian friends and
the community at large upon the
prospect of soon having so fine an
instrument in their midst.

River Items.

The river continues to decline
slowly, with about seven feet water
on shoals. No news from above
that indicates head rise. Boats
have been well loaded on their up
trips, and with fair trips down. To-
bacco has been coming in by boats
more freely. We notice some from
points on Tennessee river, via Padu-
cab.
The Nashville passed upThursday
with an immense trip, her guards
low in the water. Weare informed
by her Captain that next trip hewill
have an agent here TO solicit ship
ments of tobacco via G. & o. r. r.
She passes down every Saturday
morning.
The Eddyville was due UP yester-
day evening; she was about twenty
hours behind time.
The Hillman goes up Monday
evening.
The Anderson is generally on time.
See advertisement.
The little Matt Gracey seems to
be doing very well. She has an adj
vertisement this week.

Teachers, Meeting.

The attention of our readers is di-
rected to the notice given elsewhere
by Mr.. Carney, the County Superin-
tendent of Public Schools. These
teachers meetings supply the only
method for breaking up the obsolete
methods and sleepy routine of the
old corn-field system of teaehing-if
system it could be called-which
only deserved the name from its
systematic avoidance of all methods
which can stimulate the scholars
faculties to spontaneous and intelli-
gent exertion. A good superintend-
ent can do much, but the teacher is
passive under his guidance, and his
visits are necessarily few and far be
tween. AT these meetings the
country teachers have the opportu-
nifty of seeing the city schools and
of comparing their mode of working
with their own, besides holding dis
cussions one with another on mat
tiers of general interest connected
with education. The city schools
will be in operation while the dele
gates are here, and Superintendent
Brooks viii give every facility for
studying the excellent system now
introduced and successfully carried
on in them. We are ourselves able
to bear personal testimony to the
courtesy and patience with which
our Superintendent can answer ques-
tons and give information when
desired.
One point we have been requested
to urge, that the teachers pay shall
go on while they are in attendance
on this meeting. We had never
dreamed that urging would be nee
essary on this point; the teachers
areas much andas proftably engaged
in public duty while occupied with
the business of these meetings as
when they are in their school-rooms,
and the benefit will be felt in every
local school as soon as they return |
from their two days absence, in the
form of more efficient methods and |
more intelligent instruction. 1t |
would be most ill Judged economy
to curtail their already scanty sala-
ries, on account of their attendance
by which their schola-e are much |
more benefited than they are.
We trust that the public generally
will manifest an active interest in
the proceedings; they are interesting |
to all.
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1878-02-09


We have been favored with an
invitation to visit the drawingschool
established by Mr.. Stringer- at the
Central Hotel. Three very intelli-
gent young ladies We're at work in
the studio when we arrived, and we
were astonished az observing the
rapidity with which they have
learned to execute finished crayon
portraits of Iife-size enlarged from
photographs. Two. life-sized and
life-like portraits first struck our at
tention, one of Mr.. G. N. Parrish,
by his daughter, Miss Ada Parrish !;
another of the late DIR. r. ID. Nc
Cauley; next portrait of the Rev.
r. K. Brown, executed by his sister,
Miss V. K. Brown. The expression
of character given in this painting
could hardly be surpassed by a first
class oil painting. Then we noticed
a full-length sketch of a child by
Mrs. j. w. Keesee (late Miss Simp-
sony. Several other fancy sketches
had great merit, especially one of
Miss Maud BranscOmb, and, lastly,
a comic sketch from an original de-
sign of Mr.. Stringer. The title of
this sketch is ga Struggle for Lib
erty." The scene is a hens nest in
which several infant prodigies are
engaged in making their way into
the world with varying success.
One shell is entirely unbroken, two
aspirants have got their heads out,
one with his beak turned down de-
spondently to earth, another raising
his in mute appeal for help; lastly,
a more determined struggler for lib
erty has got his head and wings
both disentangled, is clapping his
pinions, and has his
wide open for a first expert
ment in vocalism. His tune is evil
IDENTIFY "Hail Columbia" The con-
ception and execution are both cap
ital.
On the whole, these ladies are en-
