The accomplished Mr.. GEORGE WILLIAM
CURTIS enjoys the reputation in his party
OF being man possessed col moral courage.
At the Republican State Convention, held
at Saratoga last Thursday. Mr. CrRTIs
made a memorable exhibition of that sublime
quality. lie was in wrctchcd minority in
the Convention. and yet he had the dctermi-
nation to come boldly forward and proclaim
himself friend OF the Administration.
But what does it say for Mr.. HAYES. for
the distinguished Secretary Of State. and Mr..
CARL SCuURz. when it becomes something
demanding extraordinary moral courage for
n man to announce himself. in Republican
Convention, as a friend Of the Administra-
ton:
4 year and hall they hive been in con-
troll of the Government, and already does
the Administration stand so low that the
very tramps who prowl about the country
would be- ashamed to acknowledge al
legancc iii
The first and great. and mortal difficulty
under which the Administration has labored
has been the faint which attached to its in
ccption. \ President who ascendcd to power
over Il broken Constitution Is doomed from
the start. Such Is the case Of Mr.. HAYES.
Mr.. EvAErs will have reason, til the end Of
his days-and We say this in kindly spirit
to repent and dcplore having allied him
self with an Administration which has never
had constitutional existence.
The more praise MIR. CURTIS is entitled TO
for the moral courage of appearing in behalf
Of the Administration. the greater the dis
arrangement of the Administration.

One of the most difficult and re
sponsible positions to be filed is
that of school teacher. No class
of citizens have more influence
upon the welfare of the country
than those who engage in the most
noble calling of instructing the
young, the bent of whose whole fu-
ture depends in a great measure
upon the mental and moral training
secured in school. Arch Bishop
Spaulding said, .sGive me the first
twelve years of a child's life and
you may have the remainder" How
important this is when we re-
member that it is during these
years that the most of our children
secure the rudiments and ground
work of an education. A child's
mind is developed by slow steps
just as the growth of any object.
and this growth to be given the
right direction must be watched
day by day and year by year. As
the vine dresser watches the vines
to trim and remove all necessary
growth, so with the mind. No pru-
dent husbandman will change his
servant in the midst of the season.
So with the training of the youth
full mind. 1t is subject to unhealthy
growths, and these can be detected
only by constant and careful watch
ing. Every change of a teacher
therefore gives room for mental
weeds to grow, and many may be
rank before detected. How ex-
ceedingly necessary then to secure
good teacher and retain him or
her! Wherever we see a teacher
retained and sustained for years in
an intelligent community, the con-
clusion follows that he is compe-
tent to teach.
1t gives us no small pleasure to
note an illustration of these quail
ties in the person of Mr.. Spencer ID.
Clack, who has taught school for
nearly ten years at Aspen Hill. On
Thursday last he was again con
tinued as public school teacher at
the unanimous request of all of his
patrons-made known by secret
ballot without consultation. This
is handsome compliment, and
speaks volumes in Mr.. Clack's ia
vor. Ten years is a Icing time, and
to please large number of people
differing in their VANS and ideas
for so long a period is no easy task.
Fortunate is a community that is
of one mind upon q subject of SO
much value. The future will see
men and women of the right stamp
hailing from Aspen Hill and neigh
borhood. We know nothing of Mr.
CIack's methods, but they must be
excellent to produce such favorable
results. We doubt not there arr
many other such teachers in oul
county, and will be glad to learn o.
all such.

The Texas cornersville Club.

The seventh annual reunion of
the Texas Club of Cornersville
(Tenn.) schoolmates took place at
the residence of DR.. w. II. Wilkes,
in Waco, Texas, on the 7th inst.
This club as our readers know is
composed of men who went to school
together at Cornersville, Tenn, and
now reside in Texas. These annual
reunions are to be kept up as long
as any of them survive. 1t will be
remembered that two years ago
their reunion was held at old Beech
GROVE Academy on the farm of Maj.
Altman near Cornersville. Next
year it will be held at the residence
of Rev. j. H. Richey, Waco, Texas,
on the second Wednesday in May,
1879. The following members were
present on the 7th inst: DIR. w. H.
Wilkes, Harvey Mitchell, DR.. J. p.
Mitchell, B. F.. Richey, Rev. j. H.
j. X. Street, G. w. Kenne-
dy, S. S. Hall, E. p. Massey.
Absent: T. G. Richey, j. II. Rich
ey, j. H. Mitchell, G. w. Mitchell,
and NJ. H. Massey.
On motion, j. H. Richey was
elected President for the ensuing
year, and j. K. Street was elected
Secretary. The Waco Examiner
says: The names of w. S. Day and
E. NJ. Patrick were dropped from
the rolls, they never having at
tended a reunion of the club; and
the names of j. H. Richey and j.
K. Street, members of the club,
were enrolled on the label of the
club bottle of wine as original mem
bers of the club.
The Secretary was instructed to
correspond with the Rev. VIM. Ras
lip, and invite him to be present at
the next annual reunion, with
view OF bec0nin "a naember of the
club, he being eligible.
The club then adjourned for din
ner-an old fashioned Tennessee
dinner, such as was contemplated
in the original compact in the or
ganization of the club. About
sixty persons, members of the Climb,
their families and friends, partook
of the bountiful repast.
In the afternoon Mr.. Harvey
Mitchell read a very interesting
paper, giving the origin and history
of the club.

The Antecedents of Disease.

Among the antecedents of disease are
inertness i'm the circulation ofthe blood,
an unnaturally attenuated condition of
the physique, Indicating that the life
current Is deficient i'm nutritive proper
ties, wan, haggard look, inability to
digest the food, loss of appetite, sleep
and strength, and 4 sensation of unnat-
ural langnor. Ar these may be regard
ed as among the indicia of approaching
disease, which will eventually attack
the system and overghelm it, il it is not
built up and fortified in advance. In

The Next Congress.

will be Democratic by ten or twelve
majority, and analysis Of the vote
for Representatives at .he last cleo
ton indicates that the House will
also be Democratic by considera-
bic majority, il we behave ourselves
IN the future as well as we have
done in the past. To say that the
chances in the House are largely in
favor of the Democrats does not
convey an idea of the great superb
GRITTY of the Democratic chances
over those Of their opponents. In
fact, 1t might almost be said that
the Republicans have absolutely no
chance whatever of carrying the
House. The Democrats have three
times the number OF absolutely safe

ElkmOnt Springs.

The wheat crops in Number One
as a general thing are greatly dam
aged by the rust, though there are a
few fields that bid fair to yield well.
Three weeks ago (for several days.
the cotton grew off very nicely, but
for the past week, the mornings
and nights have been so cool it has
grown but little. Corn is growing
very slowly. Most of the farmers
in this section have their crops in a
splendid condition, have worked
their cotton over once and are
blowing corn the second time, and
if we could only now have some
real warm weather, No. would be
pretty well heeled. l don't think |

at any time or place. For the past
week the thermometer has stood
morning and night at 4S degrees.

At present, the prospect for a big

have two very fine Touring mills;
also two very fourishing schools,
and taking both together make a

to bee has grown to be a great
question. Nearly every man you
meet is wearing straw hat, veil
and pair gloves. One of the most
experienced bee men claims that the
bees are doing only halt so well as
last season. Owing greatly to the
very heavy rains that fell this
spring. We are very glad to know
that timbcrs are being got to repair
