MI MADE TO APPRECIATE
That other fact, that passing 10 not the
whole end Of school life II would add
greatly to tho interests Of those under
their care. For many parents do not care
how little their children know. provided
ouly that they pass" One thing .
parent can never be able TO comprehend
IL this "How does II happen that my
child fails. while that Of my neighbOr
passes" He looks upon u ~ . tacit dec.
i~Aration that his child Is not bright. There
may b many good reasons for tho failure.
which would not at al reflect on parent
or child. But they are not sought. The
faithful teacher must present them and
then they may be seen. The best way 10
get Q school properly graded Is IN have
strict examinations and then rigidly sd-
here 10 these results. There mas DO cases
in which . pupil ought not 10 attempt W
pass an examination for promotion tn .
higher grade. II such 10 the fact. . frank
presentation to him Of the reasons there
Tor will be sufficient 10 secure his consent

cases ont Of ten. IL may be harder ts gain
the parents consent. but u can be done.
Cssss where the pupil remains behind Of
his own free will are found 10 result in
good. There 10 no loss Of self.respect that
would necessarily como from failure In
examination. Everybody will respect the
pupils honest determination ~ stay where
he IL tll his work IL done, Such pupils
generally stand Of the head Of their classes
during the following year.

River Disaster.

New ORLEANS, Dec. 1.-The steam
er Charles Morgan arrived to-day
from Cincinnati. Her officers report
that at 4 O'Clock this morning collis-
ion occurred at I}ringier's Point, Op-
posite Donaldsonville, between the
Morgan and the Cotton Valley, of the
Red River Transportation Company
line. The Cotton Valley sank and
twenty lives were lost. The boat and
cargo are a total loss. The Cotton
Valley left here yesterday for Red
River with a full assorted cargo and a
number of passengers.
When the collision occurred the
wind was blowing gale and the rain
falling in torrents. The Morgan was
coming down, the Valley going up,
the boat rounding s. point. The off,
GERS of each, seeing the danger of a
collision stopped the machinery, but
the force of the wind and the head
way of the Morgan was so great that
her guards struck the Valley with
great force, causing the latter to sink
in fifteen minutes The Valley was
valued at $lS,COO and insured for $lC,-
600 in New Orleans offices. The car
60 was valued at $4,000; insurance
unknown. Sol. Myer, Daniel Gehr,
Henry Levy, merchants of Alexan-
dria, Louisiana; and Miss Sanford, of
Lowden county, Virginia, were sthe
only passengers lost. The officers
think twelve or fifteen Of the roust-
abouts, mostly colored, went down
with the boat and were drowned.

The Cincinnati Times Washington
special, in speaking OF Russell, the
Congressman, elect from North Caro-
lima, who was the Republican candi-
date and elected by republicans, makes
the following admission. which is cer-
tainly damaging: "He says he is in
favor of paying all Southern war
claims, and OF pensioning rebel sold
iers, the same as those who fought in
the Union Army" Mr.. Waddell, the
Democratic candidate, who was beat
en-, opposed the payment Of all South
elm war claims, and has been regard
ed as particularly conservative mem-
Der in the two terms he has served in
Congress. Which prompts us to ask.
Has there been right-about-face in
the Republican ranks about the rebel
war debt, and are the Confederate SOL
diers to be placed on the pension rolls
with those on tine Union side, and if
so what is to be the stock in trade of
the Republican organs next year? A
great deal of ammunition has been ex-
pended in the wrong direction.-En-
quirer.
With all the Radical bellyaching
over the subject of the payment of the
rebel debt and rebel war claims they
have in the past paid much more than
the Democrats, and there is not the
least doubt that they would pay them
all if they thought they might thereby
make the South solid for their party.
