withdraw the bill. Fruitlessly we pro-
posed to knock two hundred per cent. OH

with more affilavits. further documents,

Ouxh TO say that only those who have clear
apprehensiOns can teach. But still greater
is the variation in the power to cOnmuni-
cate to Others what We know ourselves.
Those who have this power are marked
persons. But the ability to influence 9TH
ers is quite another affair. We know that
some. natarally. rs We say. are listened to
BY their associates. They form and dis
seini3ate opinions. AMI no one questions
them. Or their accuracy. The power to
I utter. ami with commanding effect. is often
found. Statesmen, jockeys. auctioneers.
etc, possess it. But those who teach must
40 more than proclaim or state truth or
knowledge; they must desire that those
who hear should learn for the benefit it
| will Ike to them.
And. again. this difference is discernible
in children or pupils. The rapidity with
which some learn is 60 remarkable that
only the fact that they have persons Of
skill as teachers can explain it. What was
Wesley or Loyola but founders of schOolse
schools that exist to-day. The gather
ings that surround this or that man are
explained by the fact that his statement
is more comprehensive than that uf an
other.
The present mode of selecting teachers
ignores these great mental facts. What
doe. the candidate know is the only
question. Hence we have examinations in
geography. history. grammar. etc. The
one who answers best is most likely TO be
selected. But Ottentimes other considers
tions come in. such as: what religion is
Le of?'' or. WHAT shall be made by ap-
pointing this person?'
So long has this method been used. that
natural teachers have almost disappeared;
there is no demand for them. In Crom-
wells time there was demand for men
who could make long prayers and talk sol
cmnly through the nose. and they got
them. The demand now is for scholar
ship; and the would-be teacher. instead Of
being solicitols whether she can induce
the growth of mental and moral faculties,
is only anxious to be able to answer the
questions. In California the questions

Our Dead Presidents.

A review Of the lives Of the different
Presidents of the United States is pro-
ductive of some very interesting results.
For instance, three of them died on the
Fourth of July. John Adams and JEFF
crson both died on the eountry's birth day,
July 4, 1928, and Monroe died on the 4th
Of July, 1881. Madison died on the 2sth
of June 1886, and his friends were conf
dent that he, too, would live until July, 4.
II he had, then the second, third, fourth,
and fifth Presidents would have died upon
Independence day. Taylor and johnson
both died in July. Every fourth President
until Hayes was an old batchelor. Van
Buren did not draw any Of his salary until
his term expired, when he drew it out
in gold, ''all in a lump" Tyler died poor,
having gone into the rebellion, and was one
OF the Confederate Commissioners at Mont
gomery. John Adams lived the longest;
he was 81 years old when he died. Madi-
son was So, jefferson S3, John Quincy

both died in 1862, Lincoln in 1866, Bu-

be well for them? They have already, in
many instances, sacrificed valuable prop
erty-mules, wagons, farming utensils,
pigs and chiekens-to get money to emf
CRATE with. A boat to take them free un-
der the stars and stripes to some myster-
ious better land would cause a stampede
that could not be managed. A dozen boats
could not carry of the crowds. The dis
tress that exists would be augmented, the
good that has been done would be spoiled,
and troubles would arise for which there
could not be compensation. These things
should be we'll considered at this time and
in this place.

PROHIBITION CoNvENuoN.-The follow
ing is the County ticket put in nomination
by the prohibition party of this State, at
Jefferson on the 9th of June:
Representatives-D. W. Dorman, Gene
va; Dr. E. B. Lynn, Richmond.
Treasurer. H. Wheeler, Morgan.
CommissioDer-D. S. Chapel, South
New Lyme.
Infrmary Director Chester Merrill,
West Andover.
The Central Committee was instructed
to organize thorough canvass of the Coun-
ty during the campaign this fall.
c. R. Stone acted as chairman, and seven
towns we're represented.
The following resolutions were adopted:
RESOLVED, That we rejoice at, and will
heartily cooperate, in all efforts to reform
the Incorporate by moral and Christian
agencies, but we believe that permanent
success cannot be attained except by legal
measures; and, so believing, we deprecate
any and all efforts tending to antagonize
the two principles, viz, moral suasion and
legal prohibition.
ReS0lUed, That we favor the enfranchise-
ment of women as a means by which she
can, through legislative expressions, pro-
tect herself in all her interests, from the
fatal consequences of the drink traffic.
RESOLVED, That, as neither of the great
political parties dared to insert one word
in their platforms of this year in favor of
Temperance, therefore, the Temperance
people of the State have nothing to hope
for in the future from them,
ResOlUsd, That we approve of the Plat
form adopted by the Prohibition ConYen-
tion at their last annual meeting at Colum-
bus, and we pledge the nominees our hear
ty support.
ReSOIUed, That, regarding ourselves as
the Lords servants, being convinced that
we shall have to account to God in the
great day, for the manner in which we cast
our votes, as we will for the manner in
which we say our prayers, we are deter
mined that for the future we will not aid
and encourage the rum traffic by voting
with the old pro-liquor, anti-temperance
parties; and that this declaration of prin-
ciples is based upon Ephesians, chapter V,
verse 18th.
Re8Olged, That we approve of having
Ffohloltlon tickets at our township and
borough elections.
RESOLVED, That this Convention do here
by tender its sincere thanks to the news
papers in the County, that have kindly
published the call for this meeting; and,
farther, that all the papers published in
the County be requested to publish the
of this Convention; and that
the Secretary be instructed to furnish said
newspapers with a copy Of the proceedings.

cept, to supply the vacancy with reliable
