With a solid South and Indiana

but the electoral vote of New York
State to give them the next Presi-
Dental election. II the election is
held under State supervision alone
there will be no more difficulty in
1880 than there was twelve years
before the Democrats returning the
electoral vote Of New York State for
their party nominees. The Federal
Supervisors law is a serious obsta-
Gle in their way, and unless they can
effect its repeal will probably frus-
trate their programme. Under it
the Circuit Court, on proper petition,
appoints for each election district

parties, who, by the provisions of
the act, have ample powers, with the

Wells for school.Honses.

Mrs. JULIA A. CARNEY, in Phreno-
logical Journal;
''There are quite a number of the
scholars sick now, said a school-boy
in my hearing, a day or two since.
'I should think there would be, P"
was the reply of his brother, a few
years older. 'The water in that
well is enough to make any one
sick"
"Wby!" exclaimed an elder sister,
"do you drink that water? We
never used to taste it when I attend
ed school there. There always used
to be dead rats in it.
This little conversation was not
intended for my ear, and the chill
dren did not know I was ''among
them, takin notes" but it opened in
my mind an entirely new set Of
ideas.
The school-house WE'LL I had
never thought of it. I had made
diligent inquiry as to the ability of
the teachers, the general charac-
ter of the pupils, and the mode of
warming and ventilating the rooms.
I had carefully selected my children's
studies, had especially guarded
against the everlasting of mind or
nerves had supplied the requisite
books, the inevitable baseball and
club, and rested fully satisfied that I
had performed my whole duty as a
parent.
Suddenly, in the midst of my
complacency, well had opened, as
it were, at my feet.
On the above, we would remark,
that there are many things in con
nection with our schools that the
average parent is prone to overlook.
The well is one, but we think that
the school-house pump ought to go
into a proverb. No topper was ever
so dry as the average schooi-house
pump; a ''fsh out of water" is moth
ing to it, unless it has been a long
time out. But there it stands, like
tombstone, "fUll of all uneIeanness,"
while the children draw water with
a bucket and rope, or carry it from
the neighboring residences.
Such things should not be, in
State boasting Of her expenditures
on the public schools.
We do not complain of the ex-
penditure, but of the negligence of
the officials. We know of district
which, near two years ago, paid five
dollars to have the well CLEANED
out" and the pump fixed. The pump
was out of order before the work
men were out of sight, and all this
time the children are carrying water,
and the men keep the money. 'LiVes

Men Who Make Journalists.

1t has been remarked that very
few men who get into journalism
start out with such intentions. They
drift in accidentally, are promoted as
they develop capacity. Money,
wealthy parents and influence are of
no sort of service in getting young
man a place on a newspaper. There
is no business that is so entirely indie
pendent of all these considerations
as this. A wealthy farmer can easily
get his son location TO read law or
medicine, or push him forward in
most any rank Of life he may select;
but he is utterly powerless to do any
thing for him in journalistic way.
To be sure he may buy a newspaper
and set him up in that way, but I'M
less there is something in him called
"journalistic knack,' natural
knowledge what to write, he will be
failure IN that line, and all the
money and influence IF wealthy and
perhaps powerful relatives will count
for nothing. Some fond parents
educate their sons with the special
view of making journalists of them
but it is rare that we hear of these
young men after few years. Mean
while some youth born among our
hills, with nothing more than com
mon school education, and the know
ledge scraped up in country print
ing office, will advance to the front
rank in the profession. He has the
journalistic knack, and forces recog-
milton because he has it. He gets
into good position, not because be
has wealthy parents to influence the
proprietors of leading newspapers,
but because he knows what to write
and how to write it. His articles go
in because they supply demand,
while perhaps the elaborate essays of
a man educated on two continents
are cast into the waste basket

HENDRICKS STILL IN THE
FIELD.

Meo," our Washington CORE
spondent, writes THE TIMES from
that city, as follows: There was re-
Gently published statement of ex-
Senator Hendricks that he would
not accept a second place on the
Democratic ticket OF 1880. In order
that no injustice may be done this
esteemed gentleman 1 give below a
letter from him:
MY Dear Sir-I have your favor
of the 2sth asking whether there Is
any foundation for the statement
contained in the newspaper slip in
closed, to the effect that / have
written to members of the Demo-
cratic party in Pennsylvania favor
ing the denomination of the ticket of
1876 for 1880. am surprised to see
such a statement. 1t is without any
foundation in truth. l have written
no such letter and have in no form
whatever expressed any such view.
1 did not, as is known, desire the
nomination of 1876 as candidate
for the vive Presidency, and do not
think it you'd, in any contingency,
be my duty again to accept nomi-
nation for a position which l do not
desire.

The Grave of an Ancient Cherokee
Chief.

A negro man, while blowing in a
field on Mr.. George Hamilton's place,
near Dalto, last week, struck a hard
substance with the pillow point, which
was unearthed and found to be a
brass kettle. Upon further examina-
ton it was found that the kettle was
one of several other articles buried
in what was supposed to be an Indian
grave. In the grave were found two
skeletons in good state of preserva-
ton, one Of which was very large
and over six feet in length, and sup
posed to he that of. an Indian chief,
judging from the articles found on
and around it and the position of the
two sksletons-there being at the
head a scalping- knife, at the feet IL
tomahawk, and on the breast Il large
silver ornament, representing the rays
of the sun, and large gold belt
slide and two gold buttons. The
other skeleton was small, evidently
that of a female and the wife Of the
other. A thimhle was found on one
of the skeleton fingers and n looking
glass on the breast, together with
some other trinkets. In the grave
were also found severa! earthern
crooks, a metal vessel shaped like a
modern frying pan, and other house
hold utensils. Tradition says that
before the Cherokee Indians were
Christianized, when chief of the
tribe died the wife was killed and
buried by his side, the mans head
placed to the east and the wOman's
to newest, in which position these
skeletons were found-hence the cup
position that this was a chief and his
squaw. There are other graves in
the locality where this one was plowed

An Anecdote of Queen Victoria

The Queen was not twenty years
of age when she assembled the throne.
Coming into possession of power
with a heart fresh, tender and pure,
and with all her instincts inclined to
mercy, we may be sure that she found
many things that tried her strength
of resolution to the utmost. On Il
bright, beautiful morning the young
Queen was waited upon at her palace,
at Windsor, by the Duke Of Yelling
ton. He had brought from London
various papers requiring her sigma
ture to make them operative. One
of them was sentence OF court
martial pronounced against soldier
of the line, that sentence that he be
shot dead. The Queen looked upon
the paper, and then looked upon the
won,irous beauties that nature had
spread to her view. "What has this
man done 2" she asked. The duke
looked a: the paper, and replied !:
"Ah! my royal mistress, that man, |
fear, is incorrigible. He has de-
serted three times" "And can you
not say anything in his behalf, my
lord ?" Wellington shook his head.
"Oh, think again, | pray yeu!'
Seeing that her Majesty was 50 deeply
moved and feeling sure she would
not have the man shot in any event,
he finally confessed that the man was
n brave and gallant and really good
soldier. But he added, "think of
the influence" "Influence the
Queen cried, her eyes flashing and
her bosom heaving with strong emo
ton. "Let it be ouls to yield intlu-
ence. l will try mercy in this mans
case, and charge you, your Grace,
to let me know the result. A good
soldier, you said. Oh, thank you
for that. And you NAV tell him that
your good word saved him" Then
she took the paper and wrote, with a
bold, firm hand, across the dark page,
the bright, saving word-"Pardoned "
The Duke was fond of telling the
story, and he was willing also to con-
fess that the giving of that paper to
the pardoned soldier gave him far
more joy than he could have ex-
perienced from the taking of a city.

The Geometry Of Dress.

According to previous arrange
mcnts the lady committee appointed
by the School Board to investigate
and report upon the utility of con-
tinuing the teaching of dress-cuttinz
and making in the public schools
met yesterday afternoon, at the rooms
of the board. The schools where
the science is taught had selected by
vote three of their number to APP
pear before the committee and exem-
plify their knowledge. Their selec-
ton was matter of fayoritism, IN
many instances. rather than of skill.
The task assigned was that of cutting
and fitting lady's open basque.
Mrs. Perry, formerly herself dress
maker, who is opposed to the teach
ing, was selected to stand as model.
Hers is a difficult form to fit, SO the
ladies told the Sentinel reporter,
hence her selection. The lady WAS
measured by each of the pupils, who
then proceeded to cut the article of
dress decided upon. The result was
very gratifying to the friends OF the
system. There were thirteen pupils
who competed, and out of the thir-
teen but one failed. There were five
good fits, which, for a first attempt,
is considered IN excellent result.
The girls were from ten to fifteen
wears of age. The prize, gold
thimble, was awarded to Miss Sarah
johnson, a pupil of colorcd school

How to Wear Your Shawl.

Cashmere shawls, after being so
long out Of fashion, are once more
to be worn; but, of course, they are
to be put on in new manner. The
square shawl is to be arranged as a
high scarf on the shoulders and is to
be fastened with a double agrafe of
either precious stones or old silver,
and this is sewn on so that it will
always be in the same place, exactly
as though the shawl were a mantle
The cashmere, when draped on the
figure, shows straight line where it
terminates, the point falling the
back like cape. The Queen with
shortly publish an illustration of this
new manner of wearing an Indian
cashmere, as it is difficult to describe
clearly in words. 1t can only be
worn with trained skirt; therefore,
we shall only see it en- grande toilette.

The FayOrite Game in Washington.

There is with us at present quite a
mania for the card game known as
Boston. Especially is it popular
With men in public life and those
who have passed middle age. Several
clubs called Boston Clubs are now in
full play and include as members
many of the most distinguished men
from both political parties. The
question has more than once been
asked when and by whom this won
derfully fascinating game was in
augurated. Sometimes it is called
Boaston, oftener Boston. Alphonse
says that Boston is proper and that it
originated on board the English fleet
during our Revolutionary War while
blockading the harbor of Boston,
when, to kill the eDnui of those
tedious hours, the British officers in
vented the game. "Grand Misere
and "Little Misere' and Picolessi-
