Mr.. EdafOf:-daVlNS over IWeHlA
years of my life, heen connected
with schools and school teaching,
feel at liberty to offer few scat
tering thoughts, on the important
question. How shall the children
of our Parish, he benefited most, by
the liberal policy adopted by our
State and Parish authorities, in re-
gard to the School Fund ? In ans
wering this question l would re-
mark.
First, let the very best teachers
be employed. The idea inculcated
by the Great Teacher, eighteen
centuries ago, still holds good, in
teaching as we'll es preaching-"The
blind cannot lead the blind." / am
rejoiced to know that so many we'll
qualified, both male and female, can
lie had in our Parish. I could men,
ton several whom do know, and
so qualified, both as to scholarly at
taipment, and the exercise of who'll
some disciplin. Both these are es-
sential to successfully indispeDsi-
ble. But, is this true of all the
Board has employed? l fear there
are exceptions. No doubt they do
the best they can, all things consid-
erd. BUTT could be better, it seems
to me, to hold off, while rather than
employ an incompetent person to
train 1.-THE young ideas how to shoot
whether white or colored.
There are very many things
should be considered well, when
teachers of our children are to be
selected. TIA man is given to strong
drink-only occasionally, it is dis
qualifying item; If he is profane,
or vulgar; would leave him out in
the cold. If he is irrascible and i'll
natm ed he is certainly not fit to
mould the character of youth. If he
is an infidel, or even a skeptic, |
would prefer for my children, that
he be passed by. All these evils
! will be learped and imbibtd early
enough in life, without the living ex
, ample set them daily, in the school
r room. Punctuality, decision, ener
] gy, and truthfulness are all necessa
ry to constitute good teacher. LIE,
, him have the opposites, and whaI
| are sure to be the results? Our chill
dren are tainted with these sad, ba(
, qualities, for life. How important
q then, that we look serutiniz
ingly, into the character and qualifi
cations, of our teachers. And Al
most of our schools are now to b.
' run by our Parish School Board,
, trust, our Commissioners will be OF
, the alert to employ none but tn
! very best that can be had, in al
| these respects, The writer has n
axe to grind-no saw to sharpen
e beyond the proper training of fiv
: or six of his own children, and til
general veal of the children of on
Parish, and times, therefore throw
out these hints for what they ar
worth. If agreeable, l may sen
you other articles on the same ger
> eral subject Of education, at HON

The ruling of Judge Hughes in the case OF
the Petersburg policeman tried before him 10
the United States Circuit Court at Richmond,
Va for resisting and hinderng a deputy
marshal in the discharge of his duty, on the
day Of the last congressional election, has al
ready been given. The policeman elected
from the room a deputy marshal during the
election, for which be was prosecuted; and
there is a clear distinction between the powers
and duties of the supervisor and those of the
deputy marshal, according 10 the following
construction Of the law by Judge Hughes,
which is no doubt the only just view to take
of it:
'My conclusion, therefore, is, that unless
nr the purpose Of suppressiug actual violence
or Of preserving the peace when actually dis
iarbed, or protecting the supervisor when ac-
iually needing protection, or preventing fraud
actually attempted in The room, the deputy
marshals have no right 10 be in the room in
which the judges and supervisors of election
are performing their duties, or TO go behind
the bsilot-boxes' unless requested TO do so
by both judges and supervisors. II Congress
had designed that they should have that
power, las it did design that supervisors should
have II, 1t would have given it expressly,
las IL did give the power TO the supervisors
exPressly.) Unless II can be shown that their
presence is required hy the exigencies which
have been mentioned, the judges of election
have the same right to order deputy marshals
out of their room as they have 10 order out
any unofficial person."

The appearance Of Senator Bruce, Of Mis-
sissippi in the chair OF the presiding officer Of
the Senate the other day has set great many
newspapers TO moraizing. From the slave
pen OF 1860 to the Presidency of the Senate is
big step for the negro in less than twenty
years, but Mr.. Bruce is the last Of his race in
the Senate and il may be some time before
another gentleman Of African descent will
swing ihe gavel over the peers Of Clas, Web
sier aud Calhoun. The States OF the North
in which Republicans have supremacy are not
likely to send negro Senator TO Washington
for some years, and ihe indications are that
the South has retired permanently from that
business. II is really relief TO find a man Of
color 10 the Vice Presidents chair. Mr..
Wheeler is so utterly destitute OF color, Is
such shadowy nothing, that even a man Of
mahogany hue, like Bruce, Is relief 10 the
eye.-Bali0. Cdzcie.

OBITUARY.


HENRY R. JONES, youngest child of Ann
and the late Lloyd Jones, OF Barnesville, Md,
died at 2 o'cloSk last Sunday morning, Feb
ruary 10th, 1879, at Mddiebrooke, after
brief illness Of typhoid-pneumonia. in the 10th
year of his age, The unsuspected demise of
this sterling yonng man has very naturally
plunged into profound grief wide circle of
relatives and friends of which he was the well
merited idol. Deceased leaves bereaved
widow and one child, a dscou solale mother,
two brothers, and three sisters, to whom, in
their hour of great aifliction, we tender, in
common with all who know them, heartfelt
coincidence. How truly has the aphorsm that
Death loves shining mark been in this
case illustrated
The hand of the reaper
Takes the years that are hoary,
But the voice of the weeper
Walls manhood in glory.
The Autumn winds rushing
Watt the leaves that are searest;
But this flower was in flushing
When blighling was nearest.
The lamented deceased led Invariably an ex-
ated moral and religious life, the family be-
ing distinguished for their observance of all
the duties eujoined by the Catholic church -
Resigned they must, therefore, be, and during
this trying ordeal their sweetest solace is that
afforded by their holy religion.
Yes, we all live in God
Father thy Christening rod,
So help these, thine afflicted ones, to bear,
That in the spirit-land,
Meeting at Thy right hand,
Twill be their joy to find HENRY is there
The funeral took place on Monday after
noon, and, notwithstanding the inclemency
of the weather, was quite numerously attend
ed TO Barnesvilie, where the remains were in
tered in the family lot. As the mournfu cor
tege proceeded TO its destination, malrous and
maids, men and youths beheld it with bowed
heads and moistened eyes for few persons in
upper Montgomery were held In such high
estimation by all classes Of society The genial
smi lie and hearty grasp of this allecionate
husband, devoted son and generous friend
shall no more on earth be felt bat there is
consolation in realizing the fact that our loss
is his gain. Farewell, and forever, 10 you,
brave, noble-hearted HENRY
Thy lips are closed thy tongue no more
Shall speak to us in accents sweet;
Thine earthly pilgrimage is DER,
Ard Heaven shall rest thy weary feet.
No tears shall ever dim again
The light Of thy celestial eyes;
Thy heart shall feel no throb of pain,
For all is bliss beyond the skies.

Of the Grange in the East has teen of very
different nature. It has beer to enable the
members of the society 10 obtain supplies,

We believe that what ve have stated in regard
to the aim Of the Western Graugers will be
generally conceded 10 be the fact as also the
aiming OF the Eastern Grangers In previous

have comb atted the assertion that the Grange

ton 10 q few more observations upon this
subject.
and those of the West cannot be impartally
protected and advanced by the Grange as we

the West for the interest of the West. The
Western farmer can raise wheat cheaper than
we can, for the reason that The character of
their soil does not require such an outlay of
money 10 fertilizers as our farmers are CON-
PEELED annually TO make, and if, as is shown
by the above quoted paragraph, they can get
so much cheaper rates for transportation than
we can, then il is plain that they have all the
advantage. The advantages are too many
and vital to be passed over unheeded, and the
cheapness with which the West can raise their
crops with the discrimination they enjoy in
transportation enables them 10 put their pro-
ducts upon the market al prices which are
disastrous to our farmers TO compete with
