my own shooting; but L must confess,
when the whole affair was over, felt
shat it was a very awful situation, and
attended with extreme peril, as had no
friend with me on whom I could rely.
When the iOness sprang on CoIesberg,
l stood out from the horses, ready with
my second barrel for the first chance she
should give me Of a clear shot. This
she quickly did, for seemingly satisfied
with the revenge she had now taken,
she quilted Colesberg, and, slewing her
tail to one side, trotted sulkily past
within a few PAGES of me, taking one
step to the left. pitched my rife to-
my shoulder, and in another second the
HoHess was stretched on the plain a life
less corpse. In the struggle Of death
she half turned on her back, and
stretched her neck and fore arms con-
vulsively, when she fell back to her
former position; her mighty arms hung
pOWerless by her side, her lower jaw fell,
blood streamed from her mouth, and she
expired. At the moment I fred my sec
Ond shot, StOfOlus, who hardly knew
whether he was alive or dead, allowed
the three horses to escape. These gal
lOped frantically across the plain, on
which he and KleinbOy instantly started
after them, leaving me standing alone
and unarmed within a few PAGES Of the
Goness, which they, from their anxiety
to be out of the way, evidently cOnsid-
cred quite capable Of doing further mis-
chief.
Such is ever the case with these
worthless, and with nearly all the natives
of South Africa. No reliance can be
placed on them. They will to q GER
taintv forsake their master in the most
dastardIy manner in the hour Of peril,
and leave him in the lurCh. A stranger,
hnEever, hearing these fellows recount
ing their own gallant adventures, when
sitting in the evening along with their
comrades round a blazing fire, or under
the influence of their adOred "Cape
smoke" or native brandy, might fancy
them to be the bravest Of the brave.
Having skinned the ioness and cut of
her head, we placed her trophies upon

had proceeded a hundred yards from
the carcass, upward Of sixty vUltures,
whom the lioness had often fed, were
feasting on her remains.

Getting Information.

As a pedestrian tourist was lately pro-
Ceeding toward Tours, he asked a man
who was breaking stones by the road
side how long 1t would take him tc
reach that place. The man looked al
him without speaking and then resumed
his work. The question was repeated
with the same result, and at last the
traveller walked on. He had not pro-
Ceeded more than q hundred yards when
the man called after him, and made a
sign for him to return. When the ped
estTian reached the stone-breaker, the
latter said to him:
ut will take you an hour to reach
Tours"
Then why did You not tell me so at
frst?' said the traveller.

necessary for me to see at what rate YOU
walked and from the way You step out,
I am able to say that you can do the
distance in an hour"

LOVE LIGHTENs LABOR.

A good wife rose from her bed one morn
And thought, with nervous dread,
OF the piles Of clothes to be washed, and more
Than a dozen mouths to be fed.
There are meals 70 be got for the men In the field,
And the children to fix away
To school, and the milk to be SKINNED and churned
And all to be done that day.
It had ralned in the night, and all the wood
Was wet as it could be,
And there were puddiugs and pies to bake,
And q loaf Of cake for tea

Teaehers, Columns.

In view of the fact that our Teach
ers' Column goes a begging for an
editor, we think the following, from
the Eclectic Teacher, peculiarly ap-
prOpriate:
Teachers, why not make an eff
fort to conduct an educational col
umn in your county papers? Their
editors would generally gladly avail
themselves of your aid. The people
will read with interest anything
upon educational topics. The late
contest for the nomination Of a can
didate for the office of Superintend-
ent Of Public Institutions shows
how wide awake the people are when
the interests of that Office are under
consideration-if they are not as
much excited upon the question Of
providing the best common school
education for the children of Ken
tucky. Very much can be done by
the IjUe teacher to create and keep
up an interest in this direction by
means of a column in the county
papers"

HIGHLANDER.

The young American sohOOlmis-
tress can now put on airs-she has
been the subject of discussion in the
British House of Commons. Mr..
Mundella referred in the course of
debate favorably to the female
school teachers Of the United States,
when Mr.. Mills indulged in a sneer
and doubted that the custom was
one that could be prOfitably employ
ed in that country. Then up rose
Mr.. Plunkett, a gallant Irishman,
who said he had been to the United
States and there studied the sub
iect, and expressed his opinion that
'.it would be a great benefit to this
country if we could import 200 or
300 of those American women teach
ers." Mr.. Maclaren also quoted the
Bishop of Manchester, who has de-
clared also from personal experience
that their teaching is generally
"much better than that given in the
schools of this country"

An Easy way for Ladies' and Cen

TO SECURE A HANDSOME INCOME.
The Ohio Scale Works of Cincinnati
have Just patented and are now introduc-
ing to the public q Handsomely finished
Family Scale, an article that has always
been needed in every household, and in a
communication addressed TO the publish
ers Of this paper the proprietors ask US TO
refer them to some reliable party, to in
troduce it for them to the people Of this
county. 1t Is very seldom that a new ar
ticle steps so suddenly into universal IA
vOr. HOusekeepers are loud in its praise,
it Is always ready, there are no weights to
get lost or to be hunted up, is reliable, and
viii not get out of order. The description
of them Is a handsome base surmOunted
by a column, in which works a spiral
spring so scientifically adjusted as to weigh
anything up to twelve pounds with per-
feet accuracy. On the top Of the column Is
the platform on which the articles to be
weighed are placed, and they have an ad-
Unstable indicator so that you can take the
tare Of any vessel you may use in weigh
ing, giving yOU the exact net weight.
HOusekeepers at once see their value in
weighing fruits, sugars and other ingredi-
ents used In preserving, cooking, ETC., or
in testing the weights Of purchases from
others.
The Scales are made of Brass, are highly
polished and are finished in a skiIIiul
manner. They are very attractive and
take the eye Of every one who sees them.
It seems to US that nearly every family
in this county viii want one, and it is Ger
tainIy a rare opportunity for some smart
and energetic party to pick up quite
nice little income during the next few
months. The Company has agents in other
counties who are easily making from $500
to $500 per day selling them, and we
would recommend parties in need of en-
ployment to drop the OHIO SCALE
WORKS, No. l25 and I27 Central Avenue,
Cincinnati, Ohio, a Postal Card, and all

them by mentioning our paper julyW3

FreemasOnrY in France.

One Of the most persistent and power
full prOpagators Of republican principles
in France is FreemasOnry. This insti-
tuition is much more serious there than
with us. 1t is the centre Of union, the
rallying point for all those who rebel
against the unjust claims of the clergy,
and the domination Of aristOcratic and
mOnarchiaI institutions. The Masonic
lodge is the sacred place for tine French
Free Nasons socially, politically and re-
ligiOusly. They care for their own poor,
their own orphans and themselves in a
degree not yet attained by our Masonic
bodies. Instead OF building costly ed:-
fees, they spend their money in caring
for the needy. The exterior show Of
Masonry in France is almost nothing, but
its effect upon the people is feared by
the church.

Concerning the Schools in Northwest
Missouri.

Missouri.
PHELPS CITY, Mo-, June II, '79.
Mr.. EDIToR;-Since the Highland
teachers have the privilege of using
a column in the News, I thought I
would contribute a few thoughts
concerning the schools of Northwest
Missouri. This county is abundant
ly supplied with teachers, and they
generally seem interested in their
work, and the schools will compare
favorably, I think, with those in
Highland. The wages average Sal
per month in the winter and S31 in
the summer.
A County Institute is held in the
month of August each year, contin-
uing four weeks, which the teachers
are almost compelled to attend, at
least a part of the time. If they do
not, their certificates are liable to be
revoked, or else another will not be
granted. The result of this policy
is, they have an interesting Institute.
They form classes, study and recite
as though they were regular stu
dents.
Why could not Highland have
something of the kind instead of a
two weeks Reunion ?"
We can easily prove to you that
county supervision in this county
was a failure. Previous to the spring
of rs, each county had Superin-
tendent, whose duty it was to visit
each school once in three months
He visited two or three each day, for
which he received S. a call, or, on
an average, about fifty dollars a
week. The result was each time,
that the scholars had short lessons
that day, the teacher was told that
he was doing just the thing, and he
passed on, leaving for the effect the
memory that the superintendent"
had been there, and would not re-
turn for three long months.
The Superintendent also had the
power of granting certificates, which
was about as defective. A dollar
note would by certificate any day.
Since the year rs the law provides
that each county shall have a com
missioner or examiner who examines
in a manner similar to that of the
Highland Examiners. tits deficient
in having but one examiner instead
of more. The people of the county
seem to be very much interested in
the schools, yet there seems to be
but little competition for the posi-
ton of Examiner.
