THE Salvation army is doing some good in
New York. While the number ofdrebrands
they have snatched from the burning does
not exceed probably a hundred, yet when it
is considered what class Of depraved
wretches they are working amongst, their
efforts being confined to the slums, this must
be regarded rs efficient service.

ABoUT eight miles from Boston is the
small town of Quincy, which has sud-
denly acquired great fame in connection
with it's public schools. In 1875 the
School Committee of Quincy, of which
Charles Francis Adams, Jr. was q prom
iAent member, resolved to revoutioni2e
the method Of instruction which had for
long years prevailed. The schools were
placed in charge of Col. Fred. Parker,
who had himself been teacher, and
while abroad become thoroughly famil'
lar with the best methods praCticed in
Europe. The change which has been
wrought since then is wonderful. Old
fashioned ideas have given place to a
SYSTEM" whose practical results show
its value Object teaching is much used
in the primary schools; children begin
learning to read with words, and write
them at the same tine; The number of
studies in the grammar schools have
been reduced; and reading, writing and
arithmetic are made prominent, while
the effort is to teach various branches 81
multaneously. The general results Of
tie new SYSTEM" with its attendant
change in details ofschool room life, are
that the children enjoy going to school,
and learn what will be of practical use
to them in ordinary life. In short, as
we understand it, the Quincy system"
aims to make knowledge attractive, cas-
lily acquired and practical; to guide the
Child's mind to natural growth, rather
than fill it with mere words and rules;
and to enkindle direct, and crafty his
innate love of knowledge. In time sim
liar reforms may be expected In schools
all over the Country.-Er.

condemned to die is bound to post firm

Baltimore were divided in sentiment
and action on the questions which, after
a prolonged aud embittered struggle,
we're finally decided by the sword. The
ardor, bravery and devotion to principle
of the Maryland soldiers, and the honor
due to the memory of those who fell
upon the battlefield are universally rec
oInized. Bat while the issues involved
in the war have been settled by its re-
suits in most cases, the convictions of
those who as actors or sympathzers took
part in the contest continue to exist.
Under the circumstances the erection at
this time in one of the public squares of
a memorial monument commemorative
of the acts of those who fougIt upon
either side would not fail to be repug-
nant to the opinions and sentiments of
very many people. Tue public highways
and squares of the city are the common
property of all, and we who are tempo.
rarily entrusted with their control,
whatever our personal opinions may be,
are not, in my judgment justified in
dedicating any portion of them to a pur-
pose which would be- in direct opposition
to the sensibilities and wishes Of a large
number of citizens.

L. D. CAMPBsIL, Jr., several years ago
started in business in Atlanta, Ga. After
having travelled through every southern
state, he declares the South has been
maliciously misrepresented by northern
newspapers; that the stories circulated
throughout the North, in regard to the
tyranny of Southern Democrats, are de-
liberate lies. he says when be left
Hamilton for Georgia he was strong
Republican, but soon renounced his old
prejudiCes, and identified himself with
the party in that state having the most
respectable men. He says the Republi,
can party of the South is principally
composed Of carpet-baggers and negroes;
that no man who is blessed with parti-
Gle of pride will identify himself with
such as organization, no difference what
his previous convictions have been. Mr..
Campbell seldom expresses his opinions
on politics, but as we are very we'll &C
qqainted with him, he permitted us to
interview him ON that very important
subject. He declares that the North
misunderstands the Southern people,
and thinks il they are left alone and not
continually exasperated by northern pa.
pers, they will never fail to do their duty

THRILLING EsCAPETRoM1 INDIANS

Just below Kanawha Falls, in W. Va.
writes correspondent of the Louisville
Courier JoIrnal, is an overhanging rock
of immense size, jutting out about one
hundred feet over the seething Whirl.
pool, and about the same height above,
This was once the scene of a remarkable
adventure. The Indians were in hot
pursuit of Van Bibber, a settler and a
man of some distinction in the early
times. He was hard pressed, and all ac-
cess to the river below and above being
cut off he was driven to this jutting rock,
which proved to be the jumping off
place for him. He stood on the rock, in
full view of the enemy above and below,
who yelled like demons at the certainty
of his speedy capture. He stood up
boldly, and with his rife kept them at
bay. AS he stood there he stood there
he looked across the river-saw his
wife with her babe in her arms, all help.
less to render assistance. They stood as
if petrifed with terror and amazement.
She cried at the top of her voice, Leap
into the river and meet me ~ Laying
her babe on the grass, she seiz9d the
oars and sprang into the skiff alone. As
she neared the middle OF the river her
husband saw the indians coming in full
force and yelling like demons "Wife,
wife," he screamed, "Im coming; drop
down little lower" With this he
sprang from his crag and descended like
an arrow into the water, feet foremost |
The wife rested on her oars moment to |
see him rise to the surface, the little |
canoe floating ike a cork, bobbing about |
on the boiling food 1t was an awful
moment; it seemed an age to her; would |
he ever rise Her earnest gaze seemed |
to penetrate the depths Of the water,and |
she darted the boat farther down the
stream He rose near her; in moment
the boat was alongside of him, and she
helped him to Gamble into it amid a
shower of arrows and shot that the baf.
fed Indians poured into them. The
daring wife did not speak a word; her
husband was more dead than alive, and
all depended on her strength being
till they could reach the
shore. This they did, just where she
had started, right where the babe was
still lying, laughing and growing. The
men pulled the skiff high up off the
sand, and the wife slowly arose and
helped to lift Van Bibber to his feet. He
,ould not walk, but she laid him down
ly his babe, and then, seating herself,
yept wildly, just as any other woman
would have done under the Circum.
tances. The babe is now a grandfather,
Iud that rock is called cyan Bibber's
Rock" to this day.

very much OF 1t was stolen.
Senator McPherson's late speech in
Congress exhibited the results
of:this expenditure, of6rst'rate vessels
we have not one fit to be called a ship
of war, OF second rates we have nine
that may be sent to sea, OF third rates
we have fifteen available, but these are
all small cruising vessels, the largest OF
them being under 1000 tons. Together
with the h If dozen fourth rates they
may be set aside as practically useless.
Leaving the irOnClads out of the ques
ton the navy of the United States is
about as valuable for purposes OF war as
would be feet of the canvas vessels
constructed by the scenic artists of our
theatres and introduced on rollers at the
back of the stage in pantomimes and
spectacular pieces
The showing in regard to ironclads is
still more melancholy. On paper we
have twenty-four armored vessels, but
only fourteen of these. all fourth rates,
are reported to be in condition for ef'
fective service" And what an "etfeCt-
i've service" is meant Not one of the
fourteen carries more than two guns; not
one of them has rifled cannon aboard.
Also on paper there are four powerful
and double-turretted monitors, the Am
phitrite, the Miantonomah, the Puritan
and the Terror. There is a certain real
ity about these ironClads, for they have
cost the country great deal of money.
1t cost SIS, ,457, ,79l.0l to build them in the
first place. Then they passed into the
hands of John Roach and other contrac.
tors, favorites of Secor Robeson's, who
we're paid $53, ,628.32 for breaking them
into old iron. This old iron was then
sold to the f4vorite contractors at the
uniform price of one cent and three
quarters a pound, which brought to the
Government considerably more than the
cost of breaking up the ships. Then
contracts were made with the favorite
contractors for building new ironcads to
replace those which had been converted
into i1nk. They began the work. Secor
Robson went out of Office and tn ere the
matter rests.
As the result of our expenditure of
S4l6 7S5, ,272 OIL we stand to day, as ma.
val power, behind Spain, Holland, Chill,
Brazil and Turkey. Our four hundred
and sixteen mi lion dollars have gone to
rot and rust aud into rasCals' pockets.
That is the "strong government" that
Grant gave us for eight years from 1869 to
1877. That is the sort of strong govern
ment that Robeson wants for the next
eight years or more.-N Y. Sun
