The English View Of IL.

1t is one of the most mournful and
least satisfactory features of Irish emf
grafton that the emigrants are never able
to forget the land of their birth. Erin
may have been to them, as undoubtedly
it often has been, the harshest of step
mothers, but nevertheless they are, and
remain living instances of the truth of
the old line in which the Latin poet
says that ''they who traverse the sen
change their atmosphere, but not their
dispositions. The Irishman who is
transferred to the United States con-
tinues too often to breathe threatenings
and slaughter against the brutal Saxon, f"
who, in his belief. has converted his dear
native isle from n paradise into a hell
upon earth. No amount of prosperity
and comfort accruing to him in the New
World will induce him TO regard himself
as free and enlightened American citi-
zen, and his main purpose in life is to
set the United States and Great Britain
at loggerheads with each other.-Lon-
don Nesos.

The very interesting lecture of Prof.
Nothnagel Mt the Humboldt Verein treated
of the peculiar wags In which blind peo-
pie form their ideas of things about
them. Contrary to people who can see,
and whose first impression of thing is
its total view, the blind learn by touch
Just the single parts and form the idea of
the whole by composing tine parts The
teacher. however. has to make a decided
distinction between patient born blind,
or who lost his eyesight before his fifth
or sixth year, and those who became
blind in later wears While the former
has no idea-and cannot possibly form
an idea-of light, darkness and colors,
the latter has i'll his recollections of the
time when he could see rich fund of
ideas which give his Imagination color,
light and life. Nevertheless, those born
blind know when it is day or night.
when room is lighted mp brilliantly or
when it is dark: "they see through their
skin, as Diderot expresses it. The blind
are born musicians, because their ear is,
or becomes the most refined organ; they
are no poets, however, and canLot pos
sibly be; their imagination is too color
less; they love poetry, though, and fire.
quently write poetry, but mostly out of
love for the music which lies in the
rhyme. Prof. Nothnagel made the re-
markable statement, and proved it by
numerous examples, that the blind are
fit to learn almost any profession. There
are blind sculptors, blind farmers, etc.
Especially farming would be great i'm
provement if introduced into the educa-
ton of the blind, ard the learned and
practical professor promised to lay before
the Society, at some future day, per-
feet plan of an institution for the educa-
ton of the blind in connection with a
large model farm.

School Headaches.

Scholars are frequently twitted con-
corning the headache that invariably af
fiicts them in school, and which never
comes when they remain at home. This
complaint, like spring fever, is ridiculed
by those inclined to believe all children
eager to shirk study When we consider,
however, the defective ventilation
of our common schoolhouses, which
are not as well provided with fresh air as
are our jails aud prisons, it is small
cause for wonder that children cape and
yawn through Rotations and have
heavy and aching heads. The sanitary
condition of public schools in this
particular is abominable. Ventilation
must either proceed from windows,
causing colds in those whose backs are
exposed to draught, or through dusty
fues that flake the current with i'm
purities. 1t is impossible to send n
delicate child to the common school and
have it pass through the term without
sickness. Families who can i'll afford
the outlay are compelled to place their
children III private schools to insure
them the supply of oxygen every one
must breathe to be healthy.

The Man With a Racket.

He was probably from Deadwood, OF
Custer City, or the Gunnison valley, OF
from some of the other places where
they wear one shirt for three months
and have no other wish except to die
with their boots on, no matter how many
square feet of cowhide there is in 'em.
There was only one other man in the
saloon when he entered ana inquired fol
five fingers of straight pizen. This soil
tary man sat with a leg on either side OF
a chair, his chin resting ON the back OF
it. His eyes were half closed, his tongue
hanging out bit, and his mind was nj
rest The new arrival swallowed his
liquid, wiped off his chin with his coat
tail, and suddenly came down in front OF
the sleeping man with:
I'm from the head waters of Grizzly

Eth y was all the other said, as he
slowly opened one eye.

I've made "a grizzly shake all over by one

Yes" drawled the man on the chair
as he drew in his tongue and opened the
other eye.
Don't tackle me p yelled Deadwood,
as he leaped high in air and clicked his
teeth together. "The man who tackles
me is pulp In just two seconds Don't

stretched his arms, and lifted himself
up with the motions of an elephant.
Whoop! waugh yelled the other

seven white men and over 100 mjuns. 3"
The other slowly removed his old hat
and flung it on the floor. Then he
pushed up his sleeves and frightened
his belt and gave himself shake.
W-what's the matter, old man ;"
earnestly inquired the man from Dead
wood.
The other poked his hair until it stood
up like wires, got clear of the chair, and
began to tumble under his coat-tails.

Practical Application Of knowledge.

Pupils in our common schools are
sadly defc lent in the power OF practical
application. This must be evident to
every teacher and parent who has ever
tested the matter by asking practical
questions. The pupil who, with the
book before him, can readily "get the
answers" to the difficult problems in
profit and loss is wholly at loss to de-
termine the profit his father receives on
cloth bought for 20 cents and sold for 20
cents per yard. He learns In school
that Columbus and Springfield are IN
the same latitude, and Is not sure at
home that Columbus is not between
Springfield and the North pole. He
learns that every proper noun should
commence with capital, and then di-
reefs his first love letter to miss jennie
smith. he can say with accuracy that
there are 365 days, hours, As minutes,
and 4S seconds in year, but has no idea
of how many times the sun will rise and
set between two Christmases. Ha can
give correctly the principal parts OF see
and go, and Immediately after be guilty
of saying, Il seen him, but now he has
went away"
Is this fault, this studying to no prac-
| teal purpose, due to our system OF edu-
cation? If it is, it is high time that our
leaders in educational matters point out
the fault and suggest the remedy. Is it
because teachers fall into mechanical,
monotonous ruts of teaching, and per-
form their work in a manner so school
like and so little business-like that it
never occurs to the pupil that what he
learns from his books has any connec
ton with or application to the things
that occur in everyday life? Here we
think is the trouble, and in this we
should reform. Let each teacher make
his work more and more practical ; let
him strive to lift his pupils from their
unthinking, impractical methods OF
study let him give them matter for
thought upon the simple, common
things around them ; let him endeavor
to create an interest in their minds upon
the subjects discussed by the older peo-
pie of the community, and soon we shall
have race Of children in our schools
who will know more at the age OF IL OF
what is practical and useful than oui
children now know when they leave the
common schools. Lansing Republican.

A Doctors Liability.

It is related, as legend of the medi-
cal fraternity, that the Emperor Angus
tus was once so highly pleased at cure
effected in himself by his doctor, An
tonius Musa, that he raised that gentle
man to the rank of Knight, and relieved
the whole profession from the burden OF
taxation.
Probably at no time before or since
that event has the lot of the physician
been such a happy one. In the earlier
days of Rome the practice of medicine
was despised and confined to the hum
bier ranks of society and to slaves. Not
until the influence of Grecian civiliza-
ton made itself felt in the Roman cap
ital did physicians gain honor or stand
ing.
In the middle ages the calling suffered
a relapse, to speak medically. Surgery
was in ill-repute, and Sprengel tells us
that III Germany no artisan would en-
ploy a young man as an apprentice
without certificate that he was born in
marriage of honest parents, and came of
family in which were found neither
BARRIERS, bathers nor skinners," as sur
geons were called.
Even uu the present Gay, altnOuSn the
meritorious claims of the medical and
surgical practitioner have been recog-
nized and an honorable social status
awarded him, his mind is not at rest.
The advancement and refinement of
ideas have begotten deeper anxieties and
a feeling of responsibility. So jealousy
does the law guard the lives and persons
of the people, that every time the phys
ician writes prescription, or the sur
geon makes an incision, he takes his
purse, his liberty, or perhaps his life in
his hand. The risk is not all on the
part OF the patient, despite a popular
impression that the only poclfet-book
likely to be depleted or the only life liza
bic to be sacrificed, is that of the sick
man.-Otiver e. Lyman, in Popular
Science MOnthly.
