At second interview. HAYES gave him q note to
JoHN SHERMAN. in which he said he particu-
lary desired that DENNIS should be given the

A GOOD TEACHER.

A truly good teacher is cheap at any
price. A poor one is dear at any price. So,
too, if q good one be necessary in any school
he becomes equally necessary in every
school. Hence two hundred and fifty thous-
and competent teachers are necessary to
supply this country alone. To provide
such a host of skilled educators is a far
more difficult task than to raise, equip,
discipline, and support IN army Of equal
numbers. 1t is, moreover, a more import
ant undertaking, and necessarily involves a
far greater expenditure of time, labor, and
money if it is to be ioeH done. True teach
ing or educational power is not and cannot
be n cheap commodity, because it is not only
rare but is a more difficult and higher order
of work thai any other confined to human
hands. The tiller of the soil, the a~rtificer
in wood and iron. or even the painter and
sculptor, with all their delicacy of concep-
ton and refinement of touch, lave an easy
ask in comparison with the true educator
who works upon the subtle forces of min
and spirit, seeking to mold his precious
materials into the divine symmetry, unity,
and beauty of a perfect character. If a
high order of talent and skill be required
in these lower, perishablc forms of human
workmanship, how much more should be
exacted of those who labor upon imperisha-
bic materials, and who arc thus shaping the
characters of beings destined to n life that
knows neither limitation or decay.-Edu.

A Low VOICE IN WOMAN.


Yes, we agree with Tint old poet who
said that n low, soft voice was an excel
lent thing in woman" Indeed, we feel in
clined to go much farther than he has on
the subject, and call it one of her crown
ing charms. No matter what other attrac-
tions she may have; she may be as fair as
the Trojan Helen, and as learned as the
famous Hypatia of ancient times; she may
have all the accomplishments considered
requisite ut the present day, and every I'D
vantage that wealth can procure, and Yeti
she lacks n low, sweet voice, she can never
be really fascinating. How often the spell
of beauty is rudely broken by coarse, loud
talking. How often you are irresistibly
drawn to n plain, unassuming woman,
whose soft, silvery tones render her posi-
lively attractive. Bcsjs- VIC fancy we can
Judge of thu character by the voice the
bland, smooth. fawning tones seem to be-
token deceit and hypocrisy as invariably
as the musical, subdued voice indicates
genuine refinement. In the social circle
how pleasant it is to hear q woman talk in
low key which always characterizes
the true lady. In the sanctuary at home
how such a voice soothes the fretful child
and cheers the weary husband. How sweet
Iy its cadence floats through the sick
chamber and around the dying bed with
what solemn melody do they breathe a
prayer for the departing soul All, yes, n
low, soft voice is certainly "an excellent
thing in woman"

Curious Affair in a Cnurch.

An unfortunate little affair happened at
The House OF Hope during the morning
service last Sunday. While the choir was
singing the first hymn, Mr.. John G. Wood
berry, who was sitting within three peWs
Of Miss Mcconnell, suddenly picked up a
hymn-book and threw it at her with all the
force he could command. The book bit
the lady on the side OF the head, causing
an abrasion OF the skin. extending from
above the right eye down to the cheek
bone. The act was observed by the
ushers, MIR. Taylor and Mr.. Wash. who inn
medately went to Mr.. Woodbury. and re-
monstrated with him in regard to his con-
duct, and finally induced him to move to
another part OF tie church. Mr. Wood
berry has been regarded as quiet, inof-
fensiye man, but it is now believed that his
mind is to some degree impaired. He has
taken it into his head that the lady at whom
he hurled the book is endeayoring to make
fun OF him by pretending to make love to
him. An application has been made to the
Judge OF Probate to have him sent to ST..
Peter, and probably hearing will be had

IMPROVEMENT IN REAL EsTATE.-The Chi
cago Tribune reports rise in the price Of
real estate in some parts OF the city. In q
locality where land sold two months ago
for $50 a foot S175 foot has just been paid.
The same paper says:
"The owner OF one OF our largest bust
ness blocks was approached yesterday by
an agent who desired to open negotiations
for the purchase of it. The property was
not for sale, as it was paying better than
any other investment the owner could make.
This agent was operating for a principal
who had 100000 in bank, and who did not
know what to do with it,"
The California advertiser also has news
OF "a decidedly increased inquiry for real
estate in San Francisco, chiefly with view
to city improvements" In New England,
the Mirror, OF Manchester. N. H., notes o
lively demand for farm property, and adds
that more farms have changed hands'ln the

than during any other period OF the same
