The Instruction of the YOung-The New
 Haven Teachers' MeetinRs
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Last week obtained of Pease & Son cheap volume on kindergarten instruction and the early home instruction of small chil- dren-"Aids to Family Government; or From the Cradle to the School" according to Froebel. I read it with great interest and profit. I felt that was properly instructed how to care for my own little ones. To day, having read of the exercises that were to be at ths High School at p. m. for the benefit of teachers, I, being teacher" at home, fell into line with others, to take my place as learner; and well was paid for the effort. The paper read by Mrs. Cady, and the re- marks made by the lady principal of the Training school, were able end instructive It was good place for young mothers who need all the instruction they can get to enable them to rightly guide the first unfolding of the lit- tie ''buds of mortality" that God has given to them. am sure, if the hall had been filled with ladies who have the care of children at home, as well as those who are teachers in school, all would have felt thankful for the impetus given to them in the right direction for usefulness at home and in school. The great thing is to know how to begin. Mothers should improve every opportunity for knowledge of the best ways of developing the childs mind, and know how to aid the child in every possible way in it's unfolding. If you can learn something at these teachers meetings, held once a month at the High School building to aid you in your great life work, I am assured that you will be welcome. Try it in March and see how you like it. Due notice will be given in the paper. It is fear ful to think what poor, routine, ignorant mothers we are.
 Mrs. Cady's manuscript should go to the printer and thus find it's way to the young fathers and mothers in this city not so much for its advocacy of kindergarten schools as for the suggestions that are conveyed. When we get the hint how to go to work we shall find we can do something more than to feed and dress our little ones. The best reading for us is that which will aid us as parents. We have more to do than we know. and the more we learn how, the better for the next generation.
 This is to parents and not to the editor, especially. A MOTHER.

rather odd industry has been started in Flushing, L. I.-that of constructing houses ia sections, which can readily be put together with moveable pins. No plaster is used, and the buildings are neatly finished inside, the boards and beams being beaded and polished. The houses range in price from $500 upward, and are chiefly shipped to the West Indies.

 General Kantchukoff does not like army correspondents because they are apt to let the public know of the ineficienoy of those who conduct military affairs, if that ineficiency exists. s.Bull Run Russell, who was with the English army in South Africa during the Zulu war, made himself obnoxious by report ing that the troops were not well managed. He was charged with misstating things, and he now offers to prove his assertions concern ing lamentable lack of discipline and the gross misconduct of the soldiers. The Eng lish people are much interested in the contro- versy between MT. Russell and Sir Garnet Wolseley. So far MT. Russell seems to have the best of it.
 The New York Financial Chronicle does not have hearty belief in the wisdom of the twenty-forty 35 per cent. refunding scheme, which the Ways and Means Committee has agreed upon.

MIR. JOHN A. REEVE.

Mr John A. Reeve is a good citizen bat
as circuit clerk he has been guilty Of prac-
tees which should defeat him in thu pres
ent race. In our last Issue We quoted the
law, which fixes his costs for reco.ding
deeds and proved that he has for years been
guilty Of oyercharging all who have had
any dealings with him in that line. So
bold did he become in his overchargcs that
Col. MeReag, who had number Of deeds
recorded, threatened to have him indicted
by the grand jury. unless he changed his
course and conforrned to the law. But let
this pass.
A number Of deeds were yesterday shown
Us by different property holders and, on
counting tue words, we found that he had
oyercharged each of them from fifteen cents
to fifty cents on each document. They re-
qucsted that their names should not be
mentioned since it would cause an i'll feel
ing between them and the friends of MI
Reeve, but permitted US to publish such
facts as would enable any person to turn to
the record and satisfy himself of the truth

On the deed recorded on October 8, 1877,

On the deed recorded on January 8, 1877,
At 3 O'Clock pm in book Q, he overcharged
thirty cents.
On the deed recorded August 10th, 1878,
at . o'clock am, he overcharged forty five
cents
We could mention almost every deed he
has recorded for years, and by the law
prove that he has overcharged for recording
each and every one Of them, but the above
will suffice.
He did this knowingly, since he was ire.

OUR PROSECUTING ATTORNEY.

On deciding between the two candidates
who are running for the above named Office
the voters of Cairo and Alexander county
should not allow themselves to be infu-
enced by personal considerations nor by
the persuasive speech or offers of future ia.
vors of the candidate nor by the pecunia-
ry circumstances of the man. The inter
ests of the people of the entire county
should be, and in fact are, the interests Of
each individual, and to place man in
Office simply becase he happens to be a
personal friend, without any regard to his
fitness for the place, is highly predudicisl to
the general good. 1t must be expected
as matter of course that each
candidate will set forth bis claims
in the strongest manner, and in these de-
generate days, use every means, both fair
and foul, to gain your confidence and your
vote He will even 90 so far as to make
promises OF reward for your assistance, and
plead misfortune and povert., etc. etc,
but all this does not entitlc such man 10
your vote il he lacks the essential qualities
Of honesty and competency. Mr.. Dsmron
has done all this. He asks you to vote for
him--not because he is honest and We
doubt not for moment that he isJ not be-
cause he is competent, energetic and other.
wise fitted to serve the people ably and ef-
fectually, but because you are his friend I;
because he has not been your enemy, and
lastly, but not least, because he is really
hard up and needs the cmoluments Of the
office. He has even gone so far as
to insinuate, when begging persons
for their votes, that he would
close an eye if they should get into
trouble and he were the prosecuting at
lorney. III may be better friend to you
than you think if AN elected" said he to
one voter yesterday. The fact that Mr..
Damron is hard up, does not argue in his
favor, for if he had the ability necessary t o
make us good prosecuting attorney, he
would not have been compelled to leave his
home, where his ability would naturally be
best known and appreciated, in order to
enter official life here as stranger All
his claims to the Office he seeks, even If
they were valid. could not be considered as
qualifying him for the Office, for he does not
run upon his own merits but as rcpub.
lican upon republican county ticket
placed there by political party, which
was formed, not upon a question Of local
import, but upon principles, which
concern the nation at large
and which are not only foreign to the in.
tcrests of the county, but actually injurious
to them. Mr.. Damron WAS nominated by
this party because he was republican and
for no other reason.
On the other hand, the Independent
candidate, Mr.. Lcek, stands before the
people of the county independent Of any
political organization, and upon his own
! merits and asks the voters to consider moth
ing but his ability, his integrity, his energy
and his honesty. Choose ye between the
two.

SISTERS OF THE HOLY CROSS.

THEY PRONOUNCE AS WHOLLY UNTRUE AMI
sLANDEROUs THEsTATEMENTs CIRCULATED
AGAINST SHERIFF HODGES IN REGARD To
THEIR PROPERTY.
1t has been charged by the News, and be.
lieved by some people, that Sheriff Hodges
had advertised for sale and bought IN the
property of the "Sisters of the Holy Cross, "
and then charged them fifty per cent when
they redeemed it. This charge,
like every other that has been
made against Mr.. Hodges, is
not true. No such transactions took place
between him and the sisters. Believing
that the evil report needed retutation and
that justice to Mr., Hodges demanded 1t,
we yesterday visited the sisters and were
kindly given all necessary information,
concerning the matter and what we learnt
is embodied in their card, as follows,
"a report having been circulated, which
is calculated to injure Mr. Hodges in his
race for sheriff, to the effect that he had
sold our property for taxes and then chsrg-
ed us FIFTY per cent. to redeem it, we deem
ii but justice to him to deny the charge
and pronounce il wholly untrue
SISTERS OF THE Holy Cross,
ST.. MARY's HOSPITAL"
The sisters expressed their regrets that
any such report should have come out, and
hoped that such foul ISLANDERS would not be
the means of injuring Mr. Hodges in his
candidacy. They felt much grieved that
any one should stoop to such means to ac-
complish any end, and said that Mr..
Hodges had treated them kindly--had
shown them every courtesy and done them
many favors, and that anything they could
do to correct wrong done him they would
do cheertulIy.
