Peabody Institutes.
To County Superintendent and Teachers of
West Virginia

To County Superintendent and Teachers of
West Virginia:
In answer to various inquiries we take
this method of stating that the "Peabody In
ssitutes," which We expect to have conducted
during tho summer, probably four in each
Congressional district Of the State, are pro-
vided for by DR.. B. Seers, general agent of
the Peabody Fund. They are placed under
my management, with authority to locate
them, and to appoint the instructors who
shall conduct them. As they form no part
Of our school system, rs provided for by our
school law, attendance on the them will be
entirely voluntary and cannot be credited to
the eight days of attendance required by law
ON our county Institutes. Hence we shall
only locate them among teachers who desire
and will appreciate them.
We earnestly solicit the active co-opers-
tion of all teachers, particularly the County
Superintendents. Sections 80 and 55 of the
school law impose new and important duties
upon these officers, and they cannot fail to
see tho special fitness of these "Peabody In
stitutes" to prepare them for the more skil,>
full performance of their work. We shall
aim to have them conducted by experienced
teachers. who, both by precept and example,
will present and enforce the best methods,
not only of conducting institutes, but Of
teaching and managing schools.
The wisdom of the Legislature in provid-
ing for county institutes, at the great ex-
pense which they necessarily involve, can
only DO justified through fai,hfuluess and COM
Potency in the county superintendent in
conducting them aud we cannot too earn.
estly urge upon them the high obligation
under which they are placed to embrace this
opportunity for studying the bes. methods
for performing this, the most difficult, as it is
the most valuable part of their official SER
vice.
We respectfully ask the interest of the
people of the State, in this and all other
measures taken to lift up the standard of ed
ucation among us, and increase the efficiency
of our school system. Faithful and compe
tent work on the part of officers teachers,
and the sustaining sympathy and watchful
ness of the whole people, the common pa
irons of the schools, are the essential powers
Of our success. Respectfully,
W. K. PENDLEToN,
State Superintendent.

SPEECH OF HON. J. R. TUCKER.

The speech of Hon. J. Randolph Tucker,
on the Wood tariff bill, on Wednesday, is
pronounced by the Washington Post to have
been among the most powerful efforts, logi-
oally and rhetorically speaking, that have
been put forth on the floor of the House for
many day. The Post says:
i .; .'To say that Mr.. Tucker made q great
speech but impartially conveys an idea of
the force and grandeur of his effort. Old
Virginia has always occupied front rank in
the confederation of States, and her sons
have always maintained position among the
foremost of brilliant statesmen, and MIR.
Tucker has demonstrated his claim to high
rank among the great names of that grand
old commonwealth. No report of the speech
could do it justice. No speech during this
session has commanded such close attent ton,
and no speaker, of all who have addressed
the House, has received such compliments as
were bestowed upon MIR. Tucker. For moro
than two hours the members kept their seats,
listening eagerly to every word. At the
conclusion applause broke forth spontaneous
ly from both sides of the House aud was re-
echoed from the well>tilled galleries"

1t is after the manner of the Native Amer
loans, though foreigners are admitted pro,
vided they be anti catholic. Its rise, as the
Alexandra Gazette we'll says, is but another
evidence Of the impending disruption of the
republican party, and though it may attain
some prominence in the North, by reason of
the strength to be derived from those who
nre leaving the sinking radical ship, it will
surely meet the fate of Know Nothingism
when it invades Southern territory. The
South is that portion of the country in which
the spirit of the Declaration of Independence
still survives.

NOVEL ADvERr1sING.-An novel method
of advertising was introduced here on Thurs.
day last, by the advent of the magnificent
outfit of Chas. s. Higgins & Co., Soap Man
ufacturers, of New York. The outfit, which
is transported by rail from place to place,
consists of an elegant and deliberately painted
large wagon, drawn by four large and stylish
horses, handsomely caparisoned, and is &C
companied by ten persons-eight men in uni
form, and two colored women. A chime
of bells discoursed music as they traversed
the streets of the town, and the women at
tnbs in the open part of the wagon kept
them filled high with foam from the soap
The concern was certainly one of the most
magnificent advertising outfits we have ever
seen, aud the expense which it must neces-
sariy incur gives evidence of large trade in
Higgins Soap.
