DOTS FROM THE "DIRK CORNER.N

News About tho Peoples Health, Their
Schools, Crops, Politics and So Forth.
[FaoM AN OCCASIONAL coRhEspoNDENr1
The health Of the people in this
ncighborhood is very good, excepting
only few mild cases of pneumonia.
The people have gone we'll to work on
their farms. We have fair prospect
for good crop Of oats, but wheat is
looking rather badly on account ofthe
fly. We hope, however, that the cold
of tho past few days will put an
end to the pest. Labor is somewhat
scarccr than it was this time last year,
but it is good. The best of feeling ex-
lists between the two races, and home
leaving, hog-stcaling and the like seem
to be no more. The colorcd people
seem to have opened their eyes to their
tue interests. Some of them in this
section are doing very well, owning
good stock, wagons, farming implc-
mcnts, etc. The general outlook
about here is good. Money is more
plentiful than ever, and on good paper
it may be obtained at low rates of i'll
tcrcst. We have two splendid schools
i'll this observation-disclosures conducted
by that highly esteemed gentleman,
Professor Busby, and the other by that
equally esteemed lady, Miss Lizzie
Anderson. five do not prosper in
the enjoyment Of these golden oppor-
tunitics, it will be our own fault.
There is hardly any way to force q
blessing on any one against his wish.
"Ask, and ye shall receive; seek, and
ye shall find"
We hear but little about politics.
We sincerely hope that General Gary
and our. honored Hampton, as well
rs that highly esteemed gentle
man, Colonel Haskell, will discontinue
to agitate their by-gonc troubles. Tho
most common mind can see that this
is no time for such things. We are
told every day of q new party, and
are constantly hearing that tho Demo
cratic party is corrupt, gone to pieces,
and so Oh. Probably we do need new
party, with the first article of its con-
stitution rs follows: For office, take
all transient loafers-such as arc too
lazy to work, that live on the charity
of their poor kin, and sponge on the
good nature of their poor neighbors.
For national leaders Of the most abili-
ty-thosc who best understand the
knotty financial qnestions--take those
who know the least about their own
financial management. BY so doing,
the people that do work and want to
work could do it; and when they
60 to, dinner or go homo at night
they would not find hungry gray
horse pceling their shade trees or eat
ing up their yard fence, or on old
mule with his backbone coming
through the saddle. Then we could
"rcnder unto Caesar the things that are
Cmsar's," and unto our own horse the
corn that is his. And after all the offices
should be filled, and the bountics
taken, we could render unto the Devil
the things that are his.

T1E TELEGRAPH OFFIcE.-The office
OF the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany has been moved back to the pas
scnger depot, to the great convenience
of tho people, of Winnsboro. The
office was moved in consequence of q
misunderstanding between the two
corporations. The Railroad Company
has for some time been desirous of the
change, but the agreement was only
made recently, and the office moved
back on Friday. Mr.. S. X. McDon-
aid, an experienced operator, is again
in charge. The present management
of tholtOad Is much more accommodate
ing than it's predecessor was. AS we
have often said, spirit of libcrality
will pay tcnfold. Tho stock of the
Road is also rising and promises to be
better in tho future.
The B. P. UEIoN.-We learn that
the members of the Bachelors Protec-
tive Union intend to hold apreliminary
meeting this evening IN the Town Hall
and take steps to expcl those Of their
number who haverendcred themselves
obnoxious to the aims and principles
of tho organization. The Union
is'not in q triving condition just at
present; for at least two-thirds of tho
members have rendered themselves
liable to the penalties prescribed in the
article Of the constitution providing
for expulsion. We say this without
fear, favor or affection, reward or tho
hope of reward. There have been en-
tirely too many "moonlight drives"
for the good Of tho Union, and Art. 8
of the constitution, known as the
"candy and soda-water rule" has be-

Tunnel Under the Hudson. .

All that can be seen of the North
River Tunnel thus far is a tremendous
well, smoothly lined with brick, sixty
feet deep, and wide enough to admit an
ordinary dwelling house, This well is
covered with clumsy wooden shanty,
high enough to admit derrick, and
big enough to hold the two engines and
three boilers, the coal heap, brick pile,
clothes closets, and Office for the work
men and the Company's officers. This
shanty is at the foot Of Fifteenth street,
three quarters of the way from the
Pennsylvania Ferry to the Hoboken
line. 1t is close to the rivers edge,
two city blocks distant from Provost
street, the thorOughfare nearest the
river bank. The river originally flow
ed where the shanty is, and underneath
the filing is the original silt. The great
well beneath the shanty is not to be the
terminus of the tunnel. 1t is simply
a starting point which the tunnel shaft
is to pierce, and it was sunk because
that was deemed the better way to be-
gin the great work. The tunnel will
be worked back beneath the city more
than half a mile, breaking through the

Sharpening the Little Ones.


A man never gets an idea of how fast
the world moves until he gets out Of his
own sphere into some other. In order
to see how great progress has been
made in teaching he must get into a
modern school-rOom where the teacher
has kept progress with the age of inn
prOVements in the methods Of impart-
ing instruction. In the Gold Hill schools
every faculty Of the pupil is awakened
and sharpened. Even tables Of weights
and measures in the primary classes
are taught as object lessons. They have
the scales and the weights and the
measures right there, and the scholors
see that it takes sixteen ounces to make
one pound, and four gills to make
pint, etc, up to the gallon. The result
is that little children from seven to nine
years old will foot up pounds and
ounces, and even fractions of ounces,
and give the correct total with a facility
which is surprising. The same is true
Of measures, including quarts, pints,
gills, etc. But this is not all. Thev
are taught to form correct estimates of
the weights of objects. They are handed
a book, or something of the kind and
then estimates of its weight are taken.
One of the scholars then weighs the
object and announces the result. The
of this kind of practice in
estimating the properties of things will
become apparent one of these days
when success in life may depend on
aocuracies of Judgment. The above is
cited only as one Of many ways of
the perceptive faculties of
the children. 1t teaches them to think,
and that is, after all, as good defni-
tion as can be given of real education.
And then, to teach the little ones ge-
ography, they are set to world building,
on small scale. They are furnished
with a suitable measure of loan in
fitting receptacle, furnished with inn
elements and construct ranges of
and hills and valleys and
olains and canyons and ravines, and to
'orm all the phases presented BY the
Iolid part of the EARTH Then they 90
