Better Times for the Farmer.

The American farmer certainly
needs encouragement the encourage
ment of better market, and better
financial system than the bankers
and brokers, assisted by the govern
ment, have given him. The A0ri,
cUIturist thinks he will have his
chances soon, viz:
"The experience of the past few
years goes to show, that there will be
no danger of 'over-production' in the
future. We need not fear to raise as
large crops as we can. The foreign
market is large and steady, and will
need all we can produce in the way of
grains, meats, provisions and dairy
produce, to supply it. The low prices
OF the past few years have brought
this about, and therefore have not
been by any means an unmitigated
evil. While we have been depressed
and troubled by a reduced income
from our farms. which has sorely en-
barrasSed those who have been in
debt, this has been the means of slim
ulating farmers generally to do bet
ter by their farms than they had for
merly done. In no previous period
has stock been so much improved as
during the few years just past, and we
have in consequence, found a market
in England for meat, which has say
ed our home market from demorali-
zation. AT no time before the pres
ent has there been so much of arti-
fetal fertilizing ,and never before such
anxious inquiry about the possibility
of enlarging the crops, and using the
most effective economy to farming
operations.

Training Teachers in PnsSia.

How Prussia keeps up. her admir-
able school system by providing
supply of trained teachers is shown
by the statistics given in an educa-
tional organ of the country. The
starting point of the present method A,
was a resolution adopted by the
Prussian Parliament in 1870, in the
very crisis of the French war, ''to
endeavor to meet more rapidly than
hitherto the pressing need for tho
erection of new training institutions
and the enlargement of those already
existing" The consequence has been,
since 1870, an increase of "a training
institutions, and an increase of male
pupils in training for teachers of
2.079. The whole number Ofinstitu-
tions last year was SO, and of, male
pupils 6,729. During the year 1,775
of these pupils left, having completed
their training course. There are, be-.
sides, 7 institutions for female teach
ers, with 40 pupils. An invariable
feature of these institutions is prac-
tice school, where the incipient
teacher, "having learned a thing,
goes and does it," as Mr.. Squeers
stated the rule in his school, though
by no means after his style, but with
the regular German thoroughness.
and skill. These practice-schools in
1876 contaided 1890 children. There
is no danger that Prussian education
will recede from its present high
standard.

Gen. B. F. Kelley.

The "Hero of West Virginia" as
he is familiarly called by his many
friends and admirers on the "Pan
Handle'' of the "Old Dominion," is
now the Hot water Superintendent
at this place; he also has entire
charge, for the Government, of what
is known as the permanent Reserva-
ton, which was reserved from sale
by the act of Congress. 1876, dispos-
ing of the balance of the four sections
of land on what is known as the Hot
Springs Reservation which was re-
served by act of Congress in 1882.
The act first mentioned also provided
for the appointment of a Superinten-'
dent, and Gen. Kelley was the Pres
ident's selection for the important.
position. He has filled the same with
honor to himself, and to the entire
SATISFACTION ofthe government, the
citizens of Hot Springs and the visi-
tors.
He found upon the Hot Springs.
Mountain, when he came here to
take charge, ''Ral City" with popu-
lation of about two hundred people
from all parts Of the world, afflicted
with every i'll that flesh is heir to,
and in every stage thereof-llving in
shanti IS, tents and huts of every con-
ceivable shape. All these had to be
moved, and what to do with them
was grave question; but the Gener-
al has done it, satisfactorily to ali.
He moved them to the Southeast
slope of the Hot Springs Mountain
where the shanties were all rebuilt
in a more substantial manner, and
additional houses built for the accom-
mediation of the afflicted; these are
called "hospital buildings" and the
whole 'colony" is called "Kelley-
town." i'. '.....
Gen. Kelley deserves much praise
and has the gratitude of the poor in
valids for what he has done and is
still doing in the way of charity for
the unfortunate class ofinyalids who
come here in large numbers. The
General has spent much of his time
and money-money, too, from his
private funds-to carry on his good
work. Many have aided him with
money, clothing and blankets. but it
is no small!matter to provide all with
everything they need, and any aid
that can be extended by those able to
contribute, will be well and faith

Stonewall Jackson at West Point.

the Precipitation was streaming from
his face, and during the whole exam
ination his anxiety was painful to
witness. While trying to work out
his examples in fractions the cuffs Of
his coat, first the right and then the
left, were brought into requisition to
wipe off the prespiration which
streamed from his face. But he
passed creditably, and l shall never
forget how pleased he looked as he
was told to take his seat and think
every member of this examination
board turned away his head to hide
the smile which could not be sup.
pressed. After that his whole life
was devoted to the one thing of pre-
pairing for the January examination.
Here he again was successful. but the
scene at the blackboard, although in
mid-winter, was a repitition of the
one in June. He found himself low
down in his class, but he had learned
how to study, and he had the hearty
sympathy and good will of all the
professors and Instructors. At the
second June examination he passed
so well that he was we'll up in his
class and out of all danger. But he
never relaxed his hold. Through
the whole four years he was one Of
the hardest students"

A BISHOP BRICKED UP.-The st.
Petersburg Net0 publishes poem on
the subject OF tradition said to be
cherished by the inhabitants of
Sophia. When the Turks entered
that city, upward Of four centuries
ago, numbers of the inhabitants took
refuge in the churches, and especial
ly in the cathedral, where, however,
the Turks continued to cut them
down. The bishop remained aying
at the alter, where the Turks unwill-
ing to disturb him, bricked him up.
The people of Sophia believed, and
according to the poet continue to be-
lieve, that the good bishop did not
die in his narrow place of confine
ment. 1t was written in the DEGREES
of Providence that he should stay
there until Christian army came to
deliver him; when the wall which
enclosed him having been pulled
down, he would walk out AS well as
ever. The time for liberating him is
now declared TO have arrived.

Weather and Crops.

The weather so far has been all that could be
asked for the growing grain crops, but the nights
are little too cool for cotton. From all parts
of the County we learn that the Wheat and
Oats never gave finer promise of good crops, t
this time OF year, than they do now. In many
parts Of the county a much larger acreage has
been put in grain than ever before, so that
the present outlook is inc for abundance of food
