portion of the article which recommends
the teaching of Jesus and the story of
Christ is in the main correct; but that is
just what the International Lessons are
doing today, and the statement that
they are, as a rule, grounded on the his
tory and teachings of the Old Testament
is false, IS any one can ascertain who
takes pains to inform himself Probably
when the article was written the lessons
were in the Old Testament, but any sys-
tenn which would entirely omit the grand
lessons of the Old Testament, would be
very imperfect. The inspiring lessons
taken from the romantic, thrilling lips of
the model statesman Daniel, with which
our last study of the Old Testament
closed, were fitting preparation for the
still more perfect example and teachings
of Jesus. The black board exercises,
which seem especially to provoke the
spleen of the Tribune critic, are not an
essential part of the system, and any
teacher who does not consider them
profitable, can easily omit them. In fact
however, they are used by many with
profit as means of attracting the atten-
ton and interest of the child, and Of en-
abling him to retain important parts of a
lesson by the help of form as well as
sound, which is in accordance with the
modern theory of child instruction. The
implied charge of obscurity renounce as
utterly groundless. The plan of Inter
national Lessons allows each teacher to
procure the light of modern scholarship
without the expense of bulky commenta
ries. Thousands of S. S. workers, both
teachers and scholars, can gratefully ties
tify to the removal of obscurity, and the
clear light afforded by the present i'm
proved system. All friends of virtue

To the Editor of the Standard

To the Editor of the Standard:
l noticed in your last issue, an article
from the N. Y. Tribune, published with
out comment calculated to give very
wrong impression concerning the Inter
national S. S. Lessons, to those who are
not familiar with them. The article
states as follows: They are, as rule,
grounded on the history and teachings of
the Old Testament, which are enforced
by abstruse discussion, and fantastic
acrostical arrangement of virtues and
vices. 1t is Jesus who ought to be made
real to the generation who are growing

Last week we received letter from
one of nephews, Anderson Massie from
Logan's Creek, Reynolds county, Missou-
ri. He says: Times are very dull here,
money scarce, and produce cheap. Corn
can be bought for 25 cents per bushel,
wheat so cents, bacon cents per pound,
and other farm products in proportion.
Crops are very good, except wheat it
will not average over half crop. Fruit
is plenty, especially peaches. Everything
is plenty but money"
Mr.. Massie says his wife died recently
of typhoid fever. She was SO years of
age, and leaves six children. Her maid
en- name was Elizabeth Smith She was
brought up near Oak Hill, in this county,
and was a cousin of Parker Smith, of
Hamilton township, and Samuel Smith,
of Oak Hill

The Clinton Republican came to us
last week in mourning, over the death of
its editor, Frank Browning. He died
suddenly, not having complained of any
serious illness.
We first met Mr.. Browning at the ed
itorial convention at Chillicothe, some
years ago, and we there became warm
personal friends, and remained so. We
have not met him many times since, the
last time, when we attended the caucus
in Columbus last spring.
Mr.. Browning was a most affable,
pleasant gentleman, and we think he
never had an enemy.

When at the dinner table at the Biggs
House last Wednesday, there were two
men opposite to US, at the same table, the
youngest of whom was bald and gray, and
must have been between 60 and 70 years

of the one we have mentioned The old
gentleman was SO years of age. He was
remarkably intelligent looking man.
He had been surveyor and civil engi-

dinner at the Biggs House in Portsmouth

were so complete that every thing moved
along like clock work. The dinner was
excellent, and was served up at the right

necessary to know in order to make it a
complete success.

Underground Telegra pin Wires.

The city Of Philadelphia has determined
that the telegraph companies shall place
their wires under ground and dispense with
the poles, which are regarded as an obstruc-
tion and Disagreement in the streets. There
are SO many reasons why the telegraph
wires should be placed under ground in
New York that it is surprising the compa-
nies themselves have not made the improve
ment long ago. The construction of the
elevated railroads makes the removal of the
poles all the more desirable. Why should
not New York follow the example Of Philadel-
phia in this matter?

England In India.

Now that it is tolerably clear that the
English in India were training their guns
on the Ameer of Cabul without having pro-
vided the ammunition to fire them, diplo-
macy has been given a chance while the
wagons are working up. Sir Henry
Havelock, whose military fame was
mainly won in India, and who IN.
nonnced himself as opposed to letting
Russia have her own way while England
waits events, has expanded his views in
letter, from which we print an important
extract elsewhere. Looked at between the
lines his propositions are that Russia should
be given inducements to seek further con-
quest eastward namely, at the expense OF
China instead of India An alliance with
the Ameer, guaranteeing him his northern
and western frontier, is the sop for
Afghanistan and, most important of all
to India, he proposes the acquisition
OF the mountains through which runs the
Khyber Pass, so that there might be no
need to 60 to Cabul to defend India against
all corners. This latter, with, if possible,
the posting of British force at Candahar,
would, he thinks, be the true way to
strengthen the line OF the Indus-namely,
by taking up the positions in front of it
which would screen an invader. Sir Henry
talks Of purchasing this territory from the
Khyberees, but he evidently means, ''buy it
cheaply in money if we can, and at any
cost by force if we must" This is not very
heroic plan. but it has the weight of name
honored in England and India, Of q man
who has the advantage of knowing just what
work the Russians can do, for he was with.
them before Pleyna in 1877 But the first
reckoning must be with the Ameer. and in.
directly with Russia. The Khyberees
might be willing to sell, but might moi
be able to deliver.
