The meanness of some yankee" is pro-
verbal at the South, but Bob Toombs
never imagined anything meaner than the
scribed by the Herald of that city. The
firm employs thirty.five girls in making
coats and clothing for some of the larger
houses. These girls, moved by the gener-
osity characteristic of the Thanksgiving
season, took into their heads to make the
two members of the firm a present. Thir.
teen Of the girls gave 81 apiece, and the
sum was increased by the others to some
500. They chose an album for each mem
Der of the firm, and took a suitable time
one afternoon before Thanksgiving to make
the presentation, which seemed to be CRATE
| fully received by the two partners as a
proof of the kindly feeling of the girls
toward them. But to the astonishment of
the employees, on the next payday each
| girl had the pay of half an hour, the time
occupied in making the presentation, taken
out of her weeks wages. The girls have
quietly accepted the snubbing, but the
affair is rapidly becoming the towns talk
1t is to be hoped it is mot fair specimen
of the way in which the working girls are
treated by their employers. The conduct
of this firm reminds one of Mark Twain
story about the man who was blown up BY
the accidental going of of blast in ledge
He was blown so far away that it tool
fifteen minutes to return, and the compan,
were mean enough to take those fiftoeI
minutes out Of his wages. Did this firm
intend to beat Mark Twain ?-Phila. EUenin

Kent CounfX Tenchers.

The 5th annual Institute met in Milford
on Wednesday Dec. 10, and continued
until Saturday morning. The sessions were
presided over by State Supt. Groves in his
usual cool, deliberate and pleasing manner.
On Wednesday the convention organized
at $50, and the afternoon session was
proftably passed in experience and dis
cussions. In the evening the preliminary
exercises consisted of reading and music
and Mr.. Herman Roe spoke for nearly an
hour in a manner highly pleasing and en-
tertaining to the large audience. The
teachers had been welcomed to Milford in
a neat address of welcome by Dr. Marshall.
On Thursday j. II. George brought up the
the subject of spelling and pronunciation
and spoke effectively on this topic. Miss NJ.
A. Offley addressed the meeting on reading,
and gave some instructive exercises.
Hermon Roe spoke for 90 minutes on
general history as a school study. In the
afternoon the topic of Grammar was taken
up and discussed by Herman Bessey and
many of the teachers. Miss Ofiey again
took up reading, and Mr.. Knapp discussed
1.-THE best means of securing the coopera
ton of parents"
Mr.. j. H. George gave an interesting
class.drill in spelling.
The evening exercises were varied, Miss
Offley delighted the audience with some
selections in reading the music wa
good, and DR.. Purnell, president of Della
ware College, delivered an instructive
lecture on the "Study of Words"
Friday was wellflled in with discussion
on Geography,-Reading by Miss Offls,
and others, -Penmanship by VIM. S. Grouse
of Dover,-Written Arithmetic by r. NJ
Rosen, of Smyrna, who handled the tOpi
in a mastery manner, followed by D. S
Ellis on the same subject. The genera
discussions were very pro6tably conducted
Prof Groves gave a very full and lnstruC
tive talk on methods of teaching. A
about 10 o'clock Friday morning, Gov. j
w. Hall appeared in the meeting and wa
greeted with loud applause. He spent tn
day with the teachers. Prof. Newell, c
Maryland, remarked that he bad been i
many Institutes, but had never before see
the Governor of the State, the President {
the State College, and the State Supt. {
schools on the stage at the same time.
Friday evening was another season {
pleasure to the large gathering. Mr.. Harr
} Conrad was present and did some goo
reading, the music was fine, and Pro
| Newell, State Supt. of Maryland, gave a
interesting lecture on "Confessions of
Schoolmaster." Herman Roe again ente
tanned the audience in a cheerful mann'
for is minutes, ending by inviting the i
: stitute to Smyrna for its next meeting.
The Convention held a short meeting {
! Saturday morning, finished up business ar
listened to a good talk by Rev. W.
Edwards on "School Government" ar
q then adjourned for one year.

! very profitable to all concerned. We ha

that we may perhaps see large additions,
after the opening of the new year, to the
foreign capital offered here for loans or
enterprises. The savings of the people,
during the past year, have been large also,
Notwithstanding the sudden rise in prices
and in cost of living. 1t has been estimated
that these savings ordinarily amount to
more than $500,000,000 yearly, and con-
siderable part of that sum will presently
become available for new investment.
The business of the month thus far has
been very large and active. The imports
for last week, in value SIC, 223, 1856, have
been exceeded in only one week this year,
or fol several years, and in the week ending
November %, the amount was but 100000
larger. Less than $4,000 in gold went out
last week, to the West Indies; all other
specie exports amounting to $4,000, were
in silver. Receipts of grain continue large
J for the season, though the shipments from
West have materially diminished as the
closing of navigation has been expected.
! The mild weather has retarded dealings in
| Winter goods, but prices are firm, and large
orders for the early Spring trade are re-
ported. Receipts of cotton continue larger
than those of the corresponding weeks last
year, and the aggregate from September
| to December - was 1856, 04l bales, against
2,l7l,273 for the same period in 1878.
Exports of cotton are 264, 900 bales larger,
| thus far than those to date last year.
Reports of railroad earnings continue de-
cidedly favorable ; the increase for Novem-
Der on thirty-four roads was $l,664, l43, or
about Is per cent, and the few returns thus
far received for December show still larger
proportionste gains in most cases. The
exchanges for the second week of December
were about IS per cent larger than those of
the corresponding week last year, and
nearly SIS per cent. larger after allowance
for heavier transactions in stocks. For the
first week of the month, the increase at New
York exclusive of payments arising from
sales of stocks was over 90 per cent, at
Philadelphia nearly 70 per cent, at Boston
81 per cent, and at all the cities outside OF
New York 40 per cent. With weather
appropriate to season, and with relief from
apprehension that Congress can make mis-
chief by financial legislation, there is every
reason to expect satisfactory business fol-
the remainder of the year, and very
remarkable activity after January l.

Tup recommendations of Secretary to
increase the revenue by levying a tax on
tea and sugar does not meet with especial
favor. The Media Record says:
"Among the many good suggestions con-
tanned in Secretary Sherman's recent report,
there is one that cannot lay claim
TO belong to that category. This Is the one
recommending the imposition OF a tax on
tea and coffee for purposes of revenue. 1t
is an axiom permeating all popular govern
ment, that the science of that government
consists in distributing the great bulk OF
taxation on articles recognized as luxuries,
and taxing, as lightly as the exigencles OF
the case will allow, the necessarles OF every
day life. That is principle recognized the
world over and from our standpoint we
can't understand what has got into the
craninum of our usually levelheaded Sec
retary to make such recommendation
However it is only recommendation, and
one we hope the present Congress VIII
honor by letting severely alone. lea ano
coffee are very properly classed amongst thu
necessaries of life, entering as they do int
common consumption by those who canno
afford to indulge in wines and other expen
sive beverages. If more revenue is needed
let us bv all means have the tax on tobacco
whisky, and wine increased, articles yer
properly coming under the classification Q
luxuries. We repeat, tea and coffee ar
household necessities, and should moi
except in time of grave emergency, b
taxed. No such emergency exists now, an
hence the recommendation can not b
regarded as a very good one.

GIVE Coon LEssoNs.-At the Teachers
Institute last week, l. D. Johnson proposed
the question How far does our authority
extend towards directing the studies OF
our pupils?" On one or two occasions
parents of scholars had objected to their
children studying certain books, and he had
sent them word that he was running the
school, and that they should study what he
wanted them to; and he asked if he had
taken the right course, and if the institute
sustained him in it?
Mr.. Groves said that there was nothing
in the State law that gave the teacher any
authority in this matter, but they should do
as the commissioners demand. Teachers
should consult with parents, but at the
same time, insist that a child shall be
employed, for Satan finds something fol-
idle hands to do. If you give children
short lessons they will not study, but give
them a moderately long one and they
always apply themselves. Compel them tC
study What they need most, and adopt {
method and stand by it.

As the LIST of January draws near, it is
realized more fully every day that the dis

ordinary magnitude. For the first time
since 1873 nearly all corporations and
associations have enjoyed full year of
profitable business. Considering the growth
OF the country in wealth within the past
seven years, it seems altogether probable
That the profits to be divided at the end of
the year will be larger than have ever been
divided at any previous yearly settlement.
great number of corporations, associations
