PLEASED AND OTHERWISE.


am pleased with the late methods of teach
ing the small children writing. The smallest
pupils in some of the schools are instructed
to write by copy almost as soon as they come.
This is excellent. Frequent test-exercises in
writing, practiced also somewhat, are very
beneficial and could be done more with profit.
Recitation by topic strengthens the memory
and gives a comprehensive view of the sub
ject This is done in some of the schools.
wish it vera in all. do not like the parrot
like way too many of the pupils of our
schools are allowed to use words. The die
tionary ought to DO used more. More atten-
ton ought TO be given to the sounds of the
letters, in view of the spelling reform that is
soon coming to our great relief. The metric
system is not enough referred to in our
schools. This universal comm ercial Ian
guage ought to become the language of ev-
ery-day use. The way TO bring this about is
by teaching it to the pupils of our common
schools, and thus create a sentiment in its ia
vor and demand for it,
TOWN SYSTEM.
The legislature of 1870 enacted a law which,
If carried out as it ought TO be in towns of
the size of this, would work good results
This would put all the schools under board
of supervision. According TO this plan the
superintendent could be made of some value
to the schools of the town. not as now simply
as reporter to the state superintendent of ed
ucation, and almost as valuable as the fifth
wheel 10 a coach. Now that the towns will
have to pay the superintendent, perhaps they
will see to it that he is made as useful as pos
sible. To this end give him place worthy a
man. (See VT School Laws, page 1O5, sec
tion 9TH Elect practical educator to the
position, expect him to devote his time to
the work and pay him for it. If this town
would adopt the town system" can see
where the $9G4S. 10 spent annually for schools
would yield even better returns than are now
received. Respectfully,
ID. Z. MILLER, Sup't.

There cannot be too much attention given
to the selection of teachers well qualified
mentally and morally. The qualifications
of heart are as important as those of mind.
There is too much at stake when children are
placed under the care of teachers to hazard
their interests by any uncertainties at either
of these points

Ennaid Salaries.

Judge Lawrence, First Comptroller of
the Treasury, has decided tn at an officer
of the government, whose salary is fixed
by statutes, does not lose his right to any
part thereof should Congress fail to
make an appropriation for any year to
pay it. Any portion of such salary left
unpaid for want of sufficient appropria-
ton is to be reported to the House of
Reprt sentatives.
Section AS of Revised Statutes fixes
the annual salary of the Governor of
each of the Territories at 1880. The
appropriation acts for the fiscal years
ending respectively 1879-8OS1 appro-
priated for such annual salary only
s., 900, and declared the appropriation to
be in full compensation for the service
of the fiscal year.
This the Comptroller decides operated
as repeal for the years stated if the sal
airy fixed by the Revised Statutes, and
prescribed a salary for such year respect
lively of s., 900.
This decision in detail has been rem.
dered in the case of Hon. Lewis Wallace
who served as Governor of New Mexico
from October 1st, 1878, to March 10Th,
1881, and who on June 25th, last filed an
account with the First Comptroller claim
ing a balance due him of $1,000. The
claim, as heretofore announced, was dis
allowed

The glowing crop prospects credited
by some American papers to British
fields are quite in contrast to the reports
furnished by the most reliable English
papers. The London Times Of Che 18th
instant publishes the result Of an agri-
cultural exploration by its correspond
ent. who writes: Agricultural pros
poets throughout the midland, western
and southern counties are not particu-
larly encouraging-few crops reach an
average" The wheat. he adds, like
that of last year, is unlikely to come up
to the expectations generally formed OF
it. These farming observations-the
results Of weeks travel-do not pre-
sage much if any diminution of
British agricultural depression, and
the meteorological conditions which have
prevailed over the British isles and
Western Europe during the last three
weeks do not justify the bright antici-
pations of the earlier part of the season.
Intense heat and deficiency of moisture
have marked the midsummer weather
from the British and French coasts to
Central Europe 1t is true, that the
wheat crops in the United States have
fallen below the average. But there is
little ground for calculations of Transit
lantic harvests largely exceeding the ave
rage. The truth seems to be that so dark
of late years has been the agricultural
outlook in Western Europe, that even
slight improvement of the situation this
year has elevated European farmers IN
dulv.

Scribner for August.

The midsummer holiday lSeri5ner
more than ever justifes its title, no less
than six articles being directly adapted
to the season, while three or four others
pertain to topics of current interest.
The fiction, to which one naturally turns
first, includes the first half Of the new
story by the author of can Earnest
Trifer"-''The Daughter of Henry Sage
Rittenhouse," happy title, which will
be found singularly appropriate. A
th&e part story, by Mr. Boyesen, also
begins, with the piquant name of Queen
Titania" THE Village Convict, a
short story of unusual force and feeling,
is contributed by a new writer, G. d.
White. Five more of "Uncle Remus' "
amusing fables of negro folk lore
complete the Rainy Day" which
the little boy" has been spending with
that veracious Esop. The illustrated
articles are also of kind to be wei
coined by a summer audience. Butin's
"The Sailors Wife, " delicately engraved
by Closson, forms the frontispiece of
the number, while Lepage's First Com
muniOn, engraved in his best style by
Cole, is printed without type at the back.
Mr.. Schuyler's Peter the Great" has its
usual quota of text and pictures. 1t is
announced by the publishers that this
history will be concluded in the October
number, before the new series of the
Century Magazine is begun. For the
essays, we have the first article of Mr..
E. G. Stedman's important series on
Poetry in America, and the second Of
Mr. Albert Stickney's papers on "The
Peoples Problem, which current events
continue to make timely, and which sets
forth vigorously, clearly, and in detail
his suggestions toward recognizing our
systems of election and officeholding, so
as to reduce to the minimum tho dangers
from the privileged class" OF Politicians
that has made American politics odiOus.

The most interesting opinion on the
Presidents wound, yet given comes
from DR.. Hamilton, who is reported by
correspondent of the New York Herald
to have said as follows:
From the examinations which i
made yesterday and the day before, and
which were repeated by other gentlemen
of the consulting board, / consider it al
most certain that the ball has lodged in
the right lilac fosse; that is, in the lower
part of the abdomen on the right side.
There is at this point defined hardness,
due probably to any area of inflapma-
ton around the ball, which point is ten
der upon pressure and quite distinctly
circumscribed Surgeon General Barnes
Informed me that for Gay or two pre-
viOus pressure upon this point caused a
discharge of matter from the orifice of
the wound. 1t is to be presumed, how
ever, that this indicates the presence of
the ball deep in the lilac fosse, behind
the intestines, and quite remote from
the surface AS the point is stu
ated twelve or fifteen inches
from the point of entrance
of the ball. the ball cannot be sought for
or extracted through its original track
Nor can it safely be reached at present
by direct incisiOn. The time may arrive
when it may be, or, what is more proba
BILE, the ball may gradually change its
position, passing lower down in the alb
dominal cavity, and make Its exit by
some of the natural outlets of the body,
as many balls have escaped which have
been received into human bodies, and
without exposing the life of the patient
to any particular hazard. think and
state in this matter what is the general
conviction of the members of the board
of attending and consulting physicians
A few days may render us more certain
upon this point meanwhile we have
nothing to do except to keep the chan
mel of the wound as thoroughly cleansed
and as freely open as is practicable. OF
course, doing what we can to sustain
the patient, it is impossible to state how

Agricultural Depression In Scotland

lDccAOA IN
A correspondent of the Pail Mall
Gclzette says: "1t is quite mistake to
suppose that the agricultural crisis is
over; for it seems probable that the full
effect of the recent depression will not be
appreciated till the coming autumn. In
the South of Scotland, the nursery Of
high farming, many farmers have repre-
sented to the agents Of their landlords
that without a very considerable reduc-
ton 10 the rents their ruin is inevitable,
for they cannot possibly carry on their
farms on the terms agreed in their leases.
In several cases leases have already been
cancelled; and it is reported that the
Duke of Buccleuch, who is probably the
greatest landlord in Scotland, and who
for more than fifty years has always
acted in the most liberal way to his
tenants, is prepared to meet his farmers
half way 1t is sincerely 10 be hoped
that the rumor is well founded, as when
the Duke leads all the other landlords
will follow. Everywhere one hears OF
farms being let at reductions of from 10
to 40 per cent, which surely proves that
land let on running leases is Overrented.
Last week the best and largest farm on
the Dupplin Castle estate, in Perthshire
lord Kinnoull's), was relet, after every
effort had been made to obtain higher
rate, at a reduction of nearly 20 per
cent, although over 81 900 had been
expended on improvements.

Statistics laid before the Congress oil
Brewers, which recently met at Yer
sailles, show that there are in Europe
about 40, 600 breweries, which produce
annually nearly $3.50, 100000 gallons of
malt liquor Great Britain alone pro-
duees a third of the entire quantity, or,
to be exact, 785, 017, O02 gallons; Prussia
comes next with 31S, 579, 998 gallons
Bavaria, 26O, 757 OO2 gallons; Austria,
245, 975, 1853 gallons, and France, 1885,
$500 gallons. 1t will thus be seen
that the TeutOnic nations are em;nently
the beer producers, as they are also
the principal beer drinkers; where
wine is to be had nearly
as cheaply as beer the malt
liquor is not preferred. The proportion
in which beer is consumed varies much.
Bavaria heads the list with "a gallons
per head per annum, or rather over one
gallon a week; Belgium is next, with 30
gallons, and England is about the same,
namely, 20 gallons. or, rOundly speak
ing, something over half a gallon per
head per week. In Germany, excluding
Bavaria, the average consumption is 10
gallons, and from this great drop fol
lows, to 9 gallons in Scotland and 81 in
Ireland, where whisky is preferred.
Austria consumes only six gallons of
beer per head and France only four.
