trolled the impractirableS and the unsub-
dued revolutioniStS. and worked out a
result that was sensible hnwevcr humili-
atimg. The terms of surrender ;ue to the
effect that the sixth section of Tie army
bill shall he SO amended as to make it
forbid only the Use of United States
troops at the polls. but not interfere with
the exercise by civil officers of the United
States of the powers now conferred upon
them by law. and that this amended sec

down from the original programme of the

of soldiers ut the polls was already en-

THE NEEDLE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
We maintain the utilitarian idea OF
primary popular education. That ITS
chief object should be to lay the founda-
ton for solid requirement. and that the
best method of primary institution. is
that. which teaches boys and girls the
means of becoming Sell-helptul and in
some degree ut least >elt-Supporting. To
this important end of all education,
whether primary ar advanced, every ac-
cessory should he employed. and where
instruction in sewing has been introduced
and recognized as such aid. the most en-
couraging results have been achieved.
At recent meeting of the Board OF Edn-
cation of New York the expectancy of
introducing the needle and thread into
the curriculum of the primary depart
mentS was very favorably discussed
Evidently the subject is one Of more i'm
portance than appears at first glance. In
every instance in which lessons i'll sewing
have been introduced in the primary
school room a visible Improvement has
taken place in the apparel OF the scholars,
and the later results have had an in!iu-
ence i'll improving and refining the condi-
ton of the scholar in a marked degree.
Sewing lessons need not interfere i'll the
least with the many studies which are
pursued in the public schools. as instruc-
ton of girls and Of boys. from six to
twelve wears old is all that is necessary.
and will greatly aid the school routine.
by giving employment every day to
teachers and pupils during the time that
the smaller scholars need to he employed

We believe that this desirable Innovation
wonld very materially amcliorate much
distress among the classes of our labor
in" people who now know almost nothing
of the use OF the needle. that in this
country as in other European countries,
particularly in Italy. girls ought to be
taught to sew by competent instructors.
and as in the latter country. children
should be required t" bring their own
dresses and materials to school with them.
when they have acquired some proficiency
with the needle. devoting certain hours
to their work there. under proficient and
experienced direction. We believe the
common sense of community everywhere
would approve an innovation of such
practical and beneficial character.

Congressman. when he said: - We have
been successful i'll two things. We have
united the Republican party. and secured
our own defeat. Onr party has made a
terrible mistake. The extra session was
the first blunder. The compromise that
was offered by the Republicans last SEES
sion. through Foster and Garfield. was
much more than the Democrats now even
ask. But they refused it, forced the cx-
ira session. and the result is that we shall
not only not obtain what was offered in
that compromise but We shall be i"nom-
iniouSly beaten. The panty discipline
will he broken. and the Republican party
will be united III solid phalanx against us

conciim% the stalwart Republicans to the
