Parents are powerful to help or him
der the teacher in the manner by
which they refer to him in home con.
versation. A single sighting word
spoken of a teacher in the hearing of
a child may utterly destroy that teach
er's influence for good over that child.
On the other hand, who can estimate
the help to- teacher, if the parents only
speak words of commentator and
esteem? If you cannot speak kind

your children and your school, that

SOME Republican newspaper writers
are inclined to censure the Democratic
members for not permitting eight As
semblymen and four Senators to cor
rect the apportionment bill. They
had better turn their attention to those
Republican members who by their alb
sence made it possible for the Demo-
Gratis to prevent the correction. If it
would be proper for eight members of
one house and four of the other to per-
feet a measure of so much Importance
rs the apportionment bill, it would be
equally proper for them to transact
other business, and the Democratic
members deserve credit for their ac-
ton in the matter of preventing re-
consideration OF the bill, III the alb
sence of a quorum, for which absence
the Republicans were responsible.

Col. A. w. Drayson writes the Lon
don Daily Meas from Halifax, Nova
Scotia, to announce that he has made an
astronomical discovery. the result Of ten
years investigation. 1t IS: That the
earth rotates annually once round a
second axis, which second axis is not
coincident with the aAis Of daily rota
ton. This movement is due to the fact
that owing to the preponderance of land
above the water in the northern hemis-
phere, and owing to the mass of land
in Asia, Europe aud Africa on one side
of the earth, the centre of gravity of the
earth is not coincident with the centre of
the earth, and, consequently. is not
located in the plane of the equator. The
results of the discovery are most impOr-
tant, as the changing positions of stars
from month to month can, by the aid of
this discovery, be calculated, so that the
endless observation of scores of COM
puters at various observatOries become
no longer necessary"

The Grand Military Inauguration
Pageant.

General Sherman, who by virtue Of his
Office of General of the Army, has the
management of the grand military pa
geant on the occasion of the Inaugural
ton OF President Garfield, seems not to
have given satisfaction to the local and
visiting military organizations, nor to
the public at large. by his arrangement
Of the line Of march and the order of
the procession. A correspondent of the
Washington Star says:
cit would appear from the programme
of the military parade issued by General
Sherman, chief marshal for the 4th of
March next, that the regular troops are
to be the only distinguished men at arms
on that day; that the visiting militia
from different and remote parts of the
country are to be a secondary affair, as it
were, doing sort of police duty on the
avenue by lining the curbs, obstructing
the view of citizens on the walks,
posting Sentinels, etc. Most of them
might object to lOafng on curbstone
for several hours and presenting arms
to the regular army. Citizens who have
paid fabulous prices for windows on the
| avenue, and obtained fee simple rights in
eligible sites near the capitol, are to see
only portion of the parade-and that
the distinguished regulars" on their re-
turn down the avenue, and such plrts of
the militia police as are stationed in that
quarter. By the arrangement of march
proposed, only the elect and those fortu
nate enough to secure seats on the eXclu-
sive grand stands near the Treasury and
Executive Mansion will see the entire
mass of troops parade Over and above
this the numerous civic organizations and
veteran corps present to partici-
pate in the ceremonies have not been
thought of sufficient moment in the pro-
cession to entitle them to much cnnsid.
Grafton. They will be permitted to
form where they choose and straggle on
behind like lot of camp followers.
Every reasonable person knows that
Pennsylvania avenue cannot possibly &C
commodate on its sidewalks the thou
sands of visitors and people, in the city
to witness the inaugurations who are
either unable to secure sites or cannot
afford to pay the outrageous and exorbi-
tant prices demanded on the stands and
for windows"

NATIONAL BANKS AND THE FUNDING
BTLL.-A Washington special to the New
York World says; 1T is not unlikely
that the changes in tho funding bill, as
passed by the Senate, will be accepted
by the House without the Intervention
of conference committee. Should vic
lent contraction occur the sliding scale
of interest authorized on the notes to be
issued at rate not exceeding three per
cent may prove providential, for if they
were to be issued st lower rate they
would be likely To circulate as currency.
No doubt is felt that the Secretary of the
Treasury would, under such circum-
stances, exercise the discretion vested in
him to protect the public. A bill is on
the calendar, however, reported recently
by the Ways and Means Committee, re-
lieving the tax on circulation. It hiss
many supporters, and is likely to be con-
sidered with fair prospect of success. ,
