GENERAL CHALMERS is very angry ut

fused TO sanction tho practices by which
alone General CHALAIERs has hitherto been
returned to congress. The Herald also pub
lshed speech made by the republican
candidate when in Vicksburg a,fd a letter
from him in regard to the violence used
against him at Port Gibson. But the
crOwning crime of the Herald was its de-
nunciation of the Illegal action of the board
Of election commissioners of Warren coun y
in throwing out over 1000 republican bal
lots because the printer used a dash line TO
separate the electors nam es from the cap
tion In view Of these acts of peridy to
Mississippi democratic principles General
CHALMERS has issued circular tabooiug
the Herald and recommending the cstab-
lishment of real democratic orgau-one
which will truly represent the party, which
the Herald evidently does not do. The Her
aid does not appear to be disturbed. 1t no.
tices CHALMERS az follows:
If our democracy is excepted to because we
do not approve OF tho returning board business
in this county aud Of fraud and bulido2lup
generally, CHALMERS and his organ may howl

sisted In, will iujure every mans interest, and
there is not q thoughtful, patriotic citizen in

to advise know, If they know anything, that
his chief anxiety is to get back to congress, re-

as we are as body, we know, or at least
should know, every parent, and every child
that is of school-going age. This influence,
II properly directed, could be made an i'm
portant factor in the administration of our
county affairs But to enable us to accom-
pllsh any good as body, we must have To-
cal as well us central organization not
mere figure head, existing only on paper,
with officers that know not their duties, or
are afraid or else too indolent to perform
Them That which we do of our own free
will is generally better done than that which
we do under compulsion. That district as
well as county associations will be held
among us | have not the least doubt and
that it will be made obligatory upon every
teacher to attend and take part in them We
md this is the case in other States, and Mary
land is not apt to he behind her sister States
in anything that is likely to benefit her citi-
Zcns.
The teachers of this county compare favor
ably with any in the State. We have all the
needed materials for successful and popular
associations. All that is needed is to get
them started upon Il basis that will be accent
able to the majority. When once the novel
ty is worn off, and teachers find what can be
accomplished in this direction, there will be
no lack of interest on the part of teachers or
patrons. Will not some fertile brain devise a
plan of operations by which every teacher of
the county can be reached, and that we NAV
commence the new year under more favora-
bic circumstances then ever before. As
teachers we owe it to society, as well as to
ourselves, that we leave nothing undone that
will in the least enable us more fully to dis
charge our duties fully and conscientousy;
remembering that our work is not of to-day
alone, but It's to go on through all time
Principles that we inculcate die not with us,
but in proportion to the zeal and earnestness
we bring to our work will our memories be
cherished, after our work shall have ceased.
In view of all this can we afford to falter p
Can we afford to do less, than we are doing
Can we afford to rest satisfied with what we
are doing and not try to improve on it? l
think not. Then let us all, at the beginning
OF the new year, resolve to do our duty, and
hope and pray for the best results from our
labors

Doing n Favor.

Early yesterday morning a poorly dressed
and seedy looking person about fifty years
Old entered the postoflice and proceeded to
warm his hands at one of the registers He
made no inquiries about mail, and after he
had been loafing around for two hours a DO

here"

"Any workt do?"

"No."
81 think you are vagrant," continued the
o1flcer as he took another look at him.
"Mebbe / am" sighed the old man.
"And | think I'll take you down"
'Well, I'll go along"
The officer escorted him down to the sta
ton house, registered his name and then pro-
ceeded to search his pockets. Each one
panned out "wad" of money, making q to-

why didn't you tell me you had this mon

"Why didn't you ask me-"

Early Spring Vegetables.

we suppose that not even the most prac-
tical epcures enjoy their dainty dishes more
than the average human being does his early
vegetables; and considering how compare
lively easy it is to have some of these the won
der is that more is not done to get them
The reason, perhaps is that few think of it
till the spring times comes, when it is too late
to do much in the way of getting them.-
Ihas IS tile time to Begin to Mink Of these Hs,aqs.
Many vegetables start into growth with very
little heat, and even the protection of n fence
will often bring things forward some DAYS
before those which have unprotected ground
and bleak winds to contend with. We know
garden which has but low wall about
four feet high around it; but even this is
wonderful screen from cold winds. Up under
the north wall of the little garden, in the full
southern sun, is the rhubarb and the asparagus
and this advantage alone gives them near two
weeks start on their neighbors with these
TWO vegetables 1t is not always convenient,
or even desirable to have wall like this, but
almost any one can havea thick arbor-yita
hedge, which will answer nearly as well.
Besides this, much can be done by hot-bed
frames, as they are generally called, although
when no manure is used to make an artificial
warmth they are by gardeners called cold
frames. These placed over crops bring them
forward considerably. Beds of asparagus can
be made with an especial view to having them
covered with sash in this manner, and when
the spring comes both radishes and lettuce
can be sown on the earth under the glass,
and will grow on and do well without much
interference from the asparagus growing up
between them.
So with Strawberries. A few sash set over
the plants in warm and dry situation brings
them on wonderfully. OF course when one
begins these practices some Judgment will be
required in the management. As general
rule the sash should be let off in hot days, put
ting them on only at nights to keep off the
white frosts and keep the ground warm
This warmth is also aided by putting on the
sash early in the evening" so as to enclose a
body of warm air before the sun entirely goes
down. 1.-THE sash is kept on all the time the
plants become weak for want of air during
the growing day time, and are then more
liable to injury by night
1t is on these little matters that some judg-
ment is required, but it soon comes as natural
to one with little experience as swimming
does to young duck. Just as in the case of
ducks, too, it is sort of Judgment which no
newspaper nor anything but natural tact can
teach. Let all who have gardens look around
just now and see when it can be done. They
will find more chances for these little family
enjoyments than many of them ever dl canned
of, and no doubt will thank us for the sugges.
ton when they find how their thoughtfulness
now is rewarded by the fullness of carly
spring garden things-Ge,maatoa TeS-

Scenes OH the M0nn

The telescope appearance of the moon is
wonderful. 1t has strange, weird appear
ancc. We see mountain ranges, extinct vol
canic craters, valleys and extended plains, of
which we see with extraordinary distinctness
they seem near by, and we can hardly realize
that we are looking at objects 1887 miles
distant. The reason is this The moon has
no atmosphere or At least none has been dis
covered, no water and consequently no
clouds. Therefore, every object is lighted up
by the suns rays, and their shadows project
ed with sharpness and intense darkness that
we are strangers to on the earth. This gives
a weird and strange appearance to the scene
ny OF the moon when we realize the fact that
the whole surface of the moon is covered
with craters of extinct volcanoes, whose fires
burnt out years ago. Some astronomers
think that they have seen, near the north
western part of the moon, some indications
of still burning crater, but il is not well
authenticated. Medler, the German astrono.
mer, has published map of the moons sur
face as seen through a large telescope, where
every mountain and valley is laid down with
great eXactness and named after distinguished
philosophers, travellers and astronomers. |
will mention n few:
The crater of Copernicus is one of the
most prominent objects in the moon. We see
rugged masses strewn around in wild aban-
don. The wall of the crater is rough, scanned
with immense assures or cracks, while all are
seen with an almost innumerabe number of
small craters The floor of the large crater
to the top ridge or crater wall measures II 300
feet. The diameter of the crater is 40 miles
When we compare this with the larger craters
on the earth, that of Kilauea, in the Sandwich
Islands, which is the largest terrestrial crater
known, q miles in diameter, dwafs into in
significance. One of the moons craters ey-
cecds 30 miles. 1t is the crater of Copernicus,
which Father Secchi the Italian astronomer,
says measures from 45 to 80 miles. 1t has
very much the appearance of fort Thirty
nine mountain peaks have been measured that
exceed Mont Blanc, which believe is 1870
feet high. Some ofthe ridges are equally high
That named after Newton is 23,S53 feet, that
of Eratosthenes 1880.
singular appearance on the moons sur
face are the rills or fissures-immcnse cracks
starting from centre and, diycrging running
thousands of miles. OF these, 1926 have been
counted. Those running from the craters of
Copernicus, Tycho and Proclus differ some
what in their general character yet all belong
to the same class, and are called rills.
No appearance of life of any kind either
animal or vegetable, has been discovered
No water, as | said before, has been found
The valleys no longer green with verdurc and
life, that no doubt at one time bcautified the
lunar world has died out, and nothing now re-
mains but burnt-out cinder of a once smil-
ing world, floating in space where there are
no clouds, no atmosphere, no wind, no twi-
light no sound, but everywhere a lifclcss
desert, a wild, weird dead world-such ap-
pears the moon through the telescope.

There are some odd facts in regard to the
result ofsiX or seven thousand years Oft Chinese
civilization and we presume that those why
may speculate upon the probable condition of
the Anglo-SaXon race on or about the first of
January, 800 A. d., will not overlook u few of
the salient features which have grown up over
the advanced age of the Monaghan dynasty
just think of it. There is not road in all of
the broad eXpansc of populous China where
evcna wheelbarrow could be driven or horse
led except around Shanghai, and here the
English have constructed them. They have
no cemeteries; no tombstones mark and honor
their last resting places on earth. Those who
own private gardens bury their dead and those
of their friends therein. Those who have no
gardens or plats of ground lay their bodies of
the dead in rough boxes on the surface ofopen
fields. The Chinese regard the souls of their
ancestry as links in the length of great chain
which they say enables them TO reach up to
the supreme source of life and ruler of the
universe. This is the reason why these re-
markably keen, quickwitted people will not
tolerate the construction of railroad in their
country. They declare that the locomotives
and rafting trains would certainly violate the
sacred charm influenced in their behalf, by
causing the abrupt scared flight of their an
cestry who are ever lowering around and over
them.
They have no banks in China, and no coin
of value except our silver and that of Mexico.
They have no lawyers, but they have per-
feet, rigidly enforced system of law and order
The principals alone can plead their cases.
The first social rank in China can only be at
tanned by literary merit. All Cinnamon read
and write, because education is compulsory
Every man in China is free to compete for a
literary degree, and last year 100000 candi-
dates for this honor were entered at Canton
for examination. Those of this large humber
who pass muster here are free again to adj
vance to the higher national grade decomposition
at Pekin, annually held there, and when they
pass this ordeal they become Mandarins and
live in high estate at the public expense No
military man is permitted to aspire to these
literary honors in China. This annual selec-
ton from the whole Chinese people of its
rulers who represent its best thought and
mental power has probably been the great and
potent factor Of their remarkable vitality and
| preservation as Il nation, but at the same time
| it increases the wonder that they should have
| stood still on the avenue of human progress
| for thousands of years. Cleveland Herald

ABOUT SpIDERs-A singular fact in regard
to the spider is, that it casts its skin once
every year. 1t FORMS in one corner of the
web, a thick purse, similar to that which it
uses to enclose its eggs. Placing itself in the
centre of its web, it begins to distend its body
violently for several minutes until it splits its
skin the whole length of the back. 1t then
gradually forces its body through the aper-
ture, until it is entirely free from its covering
The skin retains the form of the spider, and is
perfectly transparent The insect after this
great change remains quite gelatinous, and
is of u pale green color In this condition il
retires to the aforementioned purse, leaving
the skin suspended in the web. This shelter
il is not able to quit for about three or four
days.

THE SHADOWED MILL.

IN MEMORY OF MIR. JAMES sTANSBURY.
Does it look the same, the mill in the dell,
The pictured spot remember well?
DO the waters rush and ripping curl
with the olden songs, aud the careless whirl;
DO the W1tching brcezeS whisper still
or fairies haunts on the wooded hill?
question my heart and it tells its fears,
And list to the tones with falling tears.
There's different note to the wavelets now,
AS they solemnly glide meath the tall hills brow
They dimple no more but foaming steal
With weary moan gainst the heavy wheel;
And sad, sad requiems murmuring fill
The breeze that sweeps DER the dear, old mill
Do they miss voice they hear no more,
form that has passed to Il fairer shore?
the genial smile, and the friendly face,
The gentle heart so free to trace,
IN familiar step that will come no more,
TO awaken the echoes of carth's fair shore;
Footsteps that tended from carly youth
To the path of honor and holy truth;
Steps that are threading the streets of gold,
Safe in the Saviours loving fold.
A shadow rests on the silent MILL
That does not fall from the tall, old hill;
Not the dusky blue that land mark filings
On the waters breast, when the sunshine wings
Its course to West, and the sky is gay
With the gold and red of the dying day;
But a dreary shade whose phantom breath
Shrouds all in gloom, and its name is Death.
1t dulls the glow of the sunny skies,
And oyer the Homestead heavily lies,
That cheerful home that fore'er must bear
The dreary pain of vacant chair:
That home where welcomes fondly blend,
And the stranger fingers, n trusted friend:
could wish that sorrow might never rest
On its sacred roof, but God knows best
God knows best, when he calls our own
And bears them away, while sad hearts moan.
He gives His loved this blessed sleep,
And HIS kind eyes watch, when the griefwom
weep,
He is bending Ser from the far above
TO bless with His own almighty Love:
" His will be dono!" submissive pray
And Deaths fierce sting will pass away
At rest where joy and peace is given
The precious dead's at rest in Heaven.
