TIE EDUCATIONAL EDITOR, in his
article Spelling Reform, is probably
more severe on Congress than he in
tended to be. The last Congress explr-
ed on the fourth of March 1877, and
we believe with little or no drunken
ness. The present Congress will ex-
pire on the fourth of March 1879, and
it was at the final adjournment Of the
second--frst regular-session of the
present Congress that the so-called
grand Republican-Democratic drunk
referred to occurred. It is well known
that there vas drunkenness with the
accompaniment of disgraceful scenes
in both Houses, and especially in the
House, at the time of adjournment, but
we had supposed that Republicans
were neither drunk nor engaged
in disgraceful scenes: But let that
pass, The men who misrepresent and
disgrace their constituents, even in the
present Congress, are not a majority,
and the good, honest, we'll educated
men in Congress may do something to
help in advancing the Spelling Reform.
So it may be well to send on the me-
MORALS and give them the occasion
and opportunity.

MILITARY EDUCATION.

We have received from J. S. Rogers
Iate U. S. Army, Superintendent Of
the Michigan Military Academy, at
Orchard Lake, q printed copy Of Gen
eral SheIman's letter to him, express
ing his views in relation to said acad-
envy and in relation to the establish
ment of a similar academy in every
State, saying he thinks it of sufficient
general interest to merit place in the
columns of the TELEGRAPH.
We agree with superintendent Rog-
ers as to the general interest and mer-
it's of General Sherman's letter and
,cheerfully give it place in the TELE-
GRAPH. And we agree with General
: Sherman in what he says of military
organization and that every State
should have military academy. And
we quote the following from his letter
with approval.
| think each State should have a
military academy that some assistance
should be extended to each by the
United States. int Che way of arms, &C.
coutrementstents and uniforms, and
that each State should supplement this
by small money allowance to meet
the extra expense. [ would then adj
) wise that all be subject to inspection
{ by an officer of the army at least once
: a year, and that the dress discipline
and instruction should be uniform
throughout-agreeing with that pro-
vided by law for the United States
Military Academy.

PENCILs.-No person knows how +o ]

PENCILs.-No person knows how to
appreciate the good qualities of a pen
Gil as we'll as the editors of daily news
papers. For editorial and reportorial
work pencils are in almost universal
use. We have tried all varieties. Fa-
ber's pencils have had a long and sue
cessful run. We have used many of
them and they have performed good
service. Many other kinds have come
into our hands that have made large
amount of hard looking copy for the
printers; and all have .heir merito-
rlous qualities. But TO us, the Dixon
pencils, manufactured in jersey city,
have proved the most satisfactory of
any we have tried. The Dixon Com
pany produce large variety of hard
and soft pencils, and each variety is
very superior for the uses for which it
Was intended. Those marked IS. M
to our mind, will produce editorials
with more ease than any other pencil
we have ever pushed. There is a
smoothness in the running of the Dix
on pencil, that is not found in any
other we have ever used. We con-
graduate friend Cleveland, President
OF the Dixon Crucible Company, upon
the complete success his company has
achieved in producing the best pencil
in use.

REMEDIES FOR PEAR BLIGHT.

Mr.. ID. L. Wescott, Rochester, n. u.
is reported in the Ra59az Home as hay
ing tried linseed oil repeatedly, for the
last four years, Oh pear trees affected
with blight, and with such uniform
success that he is thoroughly convinced
that it is a remedy. But he does not
simply pour on the oil, or wash the
trees with it, but takes paint brush
and thoroughly works the oil into The
pores Of the bark, believing it is the
closing Of the pores, arresting circula-
ton, that causes the blight. He had
but one tree attacked last year, and
the prompt and vigorous applications
OF the oil cured it.
A correspondent of the Detroit Post
and Tribune says:
"Salt SOWn around the roots of pear
trees is a sure cure for the blight. 1t
will prevent blights without fail, and
cure it unless the tree is too far gone
The cure will be gradual, but in two
or three years. blighted tree Will re-
gain perfect health. I have been try.
ing this treatment for upward Of twelve
years upon my own trees, and each
year strengthens my conviction that
salt is the long sought remedy. I was
led to try it by seeing it stated that
the pear tree originated in some of the
salt marshes of Europe. Brine, espec-
tally old meat brine, will not do
Bury dry salt near the trunk, a few
inches below the surface The moment
you see the pear leaves looking as il
sprinkled or hastily dipped in ink, you
may be sure that it is blight, and the
tree will surely die unless the disease
is arrested by the use of salt"

POWER OF A SWEET VOICE.

/ There is no power Of love so hard to
get and keep as kind voice. A kind
hand is deaf and dumb. 1t may be
rough in flesh and blood, yet do the
work Of soft heart, and do it with a
soft touch. But there is no one thing
that love SO much needs as a sweet
voice to tell what it means and feels
and it is hard to get and keep in the
right tone. One must start in youth
and be on the watch night and day
at work and play to get and keep a
voice that shall speak at all times the
thoughts OF kind heart. But this is
the time when sharp voice is most
apt to be got-you often hear boys
and girls say words at play in a quick,
sharp tone, as if it was the snap Of q
whip. When one of them gets vexed
you will hear a voice that sounds as if
it were made up of snarl, whine
ana DARK. Sucn voice often speaks
worse than the heart feels It shows
more ill-Will in the tone than in the
words. 1t is often in mirth that one
gets voice OF tone that is sharp and
sticks to him through life and stirs up
ill-will and grief, and falls like drop
Of gall on the sweet joys Of home.
Such as these get a sharp home voice
for use and keep their best voice for
those they meet elsewhere. Just as
they would save their best cakes and
pies for guests and all their sour food
for their own board. I would say to
all boys and girls use your quiet voice
at home.

MULLEN AS A CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.
A correspondent writes as follows
about the flower Of a well-known plant
Il have discovered a remedy for con-
sumption. It has cured number of
cases after they had commenced bleed
ing at the lungs and the hectic flush
was already On the cheek. After try
ing this remedy to my own satisfaction
/ have thought philanthropy required
that I should let it be known to the
world. 1t is common mullen STEPPED
strongly and sWeetened with coffee SUI
gar, and drank freely. Young or old
plants are good, dried in the shade and
kept in clean bags. The medicine must
be continued from three to six months,
according to nature Of disease. 1t is
very good for the blood vessels also.
It strengthens and builds up the sys-
tenn instead OF taking away the
strength. It makes good blood and
takes inflammation away from the lungs.
It is the wish of the writer that everv
periodical in the United States, Canada
and Europe Should publish this recipe
for the benefit of the human family,
Lay this up and keep it in the house

which was entitled to twelve dele
gates, had but two-result, the APP
pointment Of Littlejohn delegates
to the First Congress District Con-
vention. This ought not to have been.
Every town ought to have been rep
resented and Kenosha fully represent
led. Generally the call for the conven-
ton is not issued long enough before
the time the convention is to be held
for the appointment Of delegates.
That was the case with the call for
the last convention. There was not
time enough given for the call of
caucuses and the election of delegates
THE committee Of the Congress Dis
trict was to blame for not giving more
time between the issue of the call and
tbs convention. 1t should have given
twice or three times the time it did.

The Marquis Of Harrington, in his
remarks at the local examinations at
Eastbourne, supported MI Forster's
suggestion that since England has re-
Gently done SO much for primary edu-
cation (and no one has been more zeal
Gus in stimulating this work than MI.
Forster), it is now time to give more
attention to the improvement of inter-
mediate education. Through thes To-
cal examinations and in other ways,
the Marquis claims, the universities
have left their cloisters to meet the
people in the thoroughfares Of active
life, and encourage education among
those who are unable to attend Oxford
and Cambridge. The ''local examina-
tons Of men and women who are thus
endeayoring to acquire knoWlenge of
the higher branches by home study
and other means within their reach
without attending the universities, are
doing much to stimulate the diffusion
of knowledge.

AGRICULTURAL
PROFITS or AN ORCX1RD.

Here is ( statement in a Western
paper which may do for that parlicu-
lar locality, but will not be found to
be of universal application: "Noth-
ing is more common than to hear the
complaint that there is no money i'll
growing fruit; when the truth is, as
have had the truth demonstrated
time and again, that there is more
money taken from the orchard than
from any crop on the farm, acre for
acre. And Of all the fruits grown
the most staple and reliable is the APP
PIE. 1t is in universal demand and
wanted in every month Of the year.
I asked the other day, an old farmer
of these parts, who has farm Of over
two hundred acres in cultivation
twenty acres Of which are i'll orchard ::
"What crop on your farm pays you
best?' He replied, without hesitation,
My applerorchard Of twenty acres
PAYS me better than all the other
acres on the farm I This was re-
markable statement and yet | was
not surprised at it. l know it to be
literally true. This man has this
year over two thousand barrels OF
choice apples, apd for nearly four
weeks has been sending to Chicago
market from $50 to 500 worth Of APP
pies la'' the prospect is that
he will keep this up for long time
to come. There IS money IN this or
chard. In fact, it is the most profta-
lie orchard | ever knew. And there
are three reasons which contribute to
this result: First, the proper varie-
ties for profit were planted second,
The soil and location are ust what
they should be to produce the best
results and thirG, the man who cares
for the orchard does his duty to the
orchard"
