Mr.. Emil Lindberg, general mana.
ger of the Kentucky land immigra-
ton bureau, at New York, addresses
a circular letter to the press. advising
the organization o. immigration socie-
ties in every county in Tennessee un>
der the general laws of the State,
with a capital stock OF from elOUO to
$4,000 each, divided into shares of
from 80 to S25; the money paid is to
be used in advertising the resources
of the county and inducing settlers to
locate in the county. As an effective
and economical method of advertising
Mr.. Lindberg recommends that the
county societies unite with the state
bureau of land and immigration in
publishing pamphlet on the re-
sources of Tennessee and Kentucky,
which will be issued to the extent of
a half a million copies. He says the
New York Office has arranged for
large corps of efficient agents to can
,ass the northern and western states
and Europe. They will call meetings
and lecture on the resources Of the
country. at the same time distributing
maps, circulars and pamphlets. AS
all this involves the expenditure of
money, by a system of cooperation of
the counties with the state board the
expense will not be great to the coun.
ty society This undertaking is in
dorsed by the state authorities. An
office is to be opened at 10 Broadway,
New York, near Castle Garden,
where specimens of the products of
the soil can be sent, as well as lists of
lands for sale. Mr.. Lindberg will
meet any society in any part OF the
state upon proper notice, and explain
the manner Of proceeding practically
with the work.

A LOOK AHEAD.
COMING EVENTS CASTING THEIR SHADOWS
BEFORE AND GROWING To BIZ THE
MOST INTERESTING OF
QUESTIONS.

The interest in the summer and fall
elections is commencing to crop out, and
within a month the chances of the differ
ent aspirants for the suffrage of the SOY
ereign people will be discussed pro and
con with constantly increasing ANNA
ton. The all potent argument as to the
party probabilities will be the figures OF
the last contest and none will be more
earnestly canvassed than those of the con
gressional struggle, and this being the
fact, the new B. & .. Red Book congress
sional edition becomes almost indispen-
sable No publication of political stats
tics~ever made equals it in extent of in
formation given, or in comprehensive an
rangement. It shows not only the result
Of the election of 1880, but the result as
we'll of the election of 1873. The Repub-
Iican, Democratic and Greenback vote
for the two elections IS presented sepa-
losses of the different parties. Total
votes are also the subject of comparison,
and this exhaustive showing is made Of
every congressional district in the Union
by counties. The book is one of one
hundred and twelve pages, is q marvel
of typographical beauty, being printed
upon an elegantly finished paper, and
the cover is one of the most exquisite
things in the way of artistic design issued
for many year. The Red Book is B.
Il 0. publication intended for something
above the ordinary circulation, and to
this end is sent only where requests are
made to G. K. Lord, G. P. A., Baltimore,
Md, for it by mail and enclosing three
cent stamp. The Red Book will thus be
mailed to all who may write to Mr.. Lord
for it, and certainly those who receive it
viii not part with it for almost any
money, so exceedingly valuable text
book is it for all who are interested III or

TEACHERS MEETING.

The teachers meeting so long post
poned on account Of snow-s.orms and
other hindrances, was held at the North
Side school house On Saturday, April l6.
The first thing in order, after the open
ing of the session, was the election OF
officers. Mr.. 0. S. Brown was chosen
President and Emile Richter Secretary.
The new officers resumed their respect
i've duties, and the execution Of the pro-
gramme followed.
A paper on primary reading, read by
Miss kostomlatsky, called forth an in
teresting discussion on reading.
Mr.. Viebahn, not being prepared to
speak on the topic assigned to him, sub
stituted some general remarks on the
teacher: ga teacher should be interest
ed in his work; should avail himself of
all possible chances Of gaining knowledge
hence attend teachers meetings. A
teacher without love for the profession,
should not be found in the school-room.
A prevailing faulty idea is, that person
The teacher should be student Of the
subject pursued, at the same time as his
pupils; but in broader sense. Espec-
tally so, in the natural sciences, mathe-
MATES being comparatively narrow. He
should daily prepare for his work, and
appear before his class without the text
book. He sholld make the human mind
an object of study. Should have knowl-
edge of the relation of the understanding
memory ETC. to the lessons taught" At
the close, Mr.. Viebahn babe the teachers
| farewell, his connections with the edu-
ending with that day. He then left.
"The eye" was the subject of paper,
read by Mr.. Broer. The gentleman dis
cussed the importance and the structure
of that organ, the functions of its parts;
and the causes for near -sightedness and
weak eyes.
In short discussion. which followed
Mr.. Raft called attention to the import.
ance of proper modes Of admitting light
into the school-room.
Mr.. Young discussed Percentage.
''This step in arithmetic is difficult fol
the pupils. The cause is the lack of &C
quaintance with the various kinds OF
business transactions. at the beginning,
the examples given should be simple and
numerous, and mental work required, sc
as to get the pupils acquainted with the
nature of the problems, common features
decimals. proportion and analysis should
be applied, and little use of formulas
made. Let the pupil think out the work
then geueralize by the use of formulas.
Two OF the gentlemen on the pro
gramme not being present, the meeting
was adjourned at II NJ, the time, place
and programme for the next meeting be-
ing left to the decision of the President

UNDER WHICH KING, BEZONIANs

Garfield is unquestionably an able
man, but thus far his administration Is
practically failure. His cabinet is lack
ing in harmony and the power of the
president seems to be transferred to
Jim Blaine. With a weak man like Hayes
it is not surprising to find the head OF
some department with more force OF
character, reputation and ability than
his chief assuming the direction of af-
fairs. But Blaine is not so able man
as Garfield; lie is not SO popular nor has
ne the confidence of the people to the
same extent. Garfield in placing him in
his cabinet and allowing him to be recog-
nized as the chief counselor and director
has practically abdicated In his favor.
Blaine was the boss of the house while
in it and displayed his power with great
ostentation. He disliked the senate be
cause he found men there who would
not submit to his dictatorial manners and
acknowledge him leader. He became a
member of the cabinet and Immediately
proceeded to run things to suit himself.
War was made upon Conkling, his
hereditary enemy. McVeagh was to
have personal enemy in his department
in position near to the chief in honor
and functions. Chandler is henchman
of Blaine and man not of the sweetest
odor to the people. In the fight which
Conkling threatens, the principals are
Jim Blaine and Roscoe Conkling. The
former has usurped the prerogatives Of
/ the administration and wants men III
power who will do his bidding. When
we condemn Conkling for wanting tc
retain his grip on New York, can We
commend Blaine for striving to wrest
power from the New York senator SO as
to add to his own strength? Garfield
appears To ue III iuappIuoiAhla factor il
his own administration. The man o.
whom SO many brilliant things were pre-
dicted has dwindled into a cipher under
the tutelage of Names scheming son
Blaine induction into the cabinet proved
fatal to the supremacy of the man whom
the people elected. The president ha
degenerated into tool of the subtle
politician. Under which king will New
York serve, Conkling or Blaine?
