Mr.. ADAMS IDEA.-Among the practi-
cal ideas of C. F. Adams. Jr., not one is
more acute than that which connects the
university and the common schools. The
bane of the common school system, he de-
clares, is the tradition that the chief useful
purpose of the masters desk in common
school was to afford a poor subsistence to
those of their graduates who were strug-
Cling forward to future eminence at the
bar or in the ministry. 1T singles out, -
adds Mr.. Adams, teaching in it as an
unworthy thing-as mere calling, which
can lay no claim to being an honorable pro-
fession, much less an elevating science
Any prentice hand is equal to it.
And holding this tradition in regard
to elementary teaching, the universities
have failed to draw the line between the
Superintendent and the usher They have,
on the contrary, held aloof from the whole
subject as one of little consideration, and
by SO doing separated, in so far as they
could, the college from the district school.
This in America was most unfortunate for
the district school,"

successor in his title : ''the Dowager
Countess" or whatever the title might be.
But at length one or two ladies, widows
of peers whose honors had descended to
their eldest SON by a former marriage, dis
carded the Dowager before their names in
favor of their Christian names. Thus,
the widow of Lord Ailesbury became
Maria, Marchioness of AZ, and Lady
Waldegrave, whose husbands title passed
to cousin, wrote herself Frances, Coun-
tess Waldegrave." Soon Dowagers who
were Dowagers without doubt, being
mothers of reigning peers. must needs, to
try and make the world forget how time
flies, adopt the same idea, until now there
is scarce Dowager to be found in the
peerage.

ITEMS FROM THE CAPITAL.

A WoMAN's SUCCESS AS a HEN.-It is
said that there is woman in the northern
part of the city who matches hens eggs by
keeping them inside the bosom of her
dress. She has actually hatched out sew
eral chickens in this novel way, and is said
to bring off brood of three or four at a
time. OF course, when once started, the
eggs must be kept right there in that
warm nest, night as well as Gay /; and one
would think there might be danger of
getting them broken in her sleep, to say
nothing of the inconvenience of carrying
such articles about with her in the day
time for twenty-one days. = Hartford

Two Denver (Col.) gentlemen have been
on visit to the lower Animas and San
Juan Valleys. They discovered interesting
relics, found in the prehistoric dwellings,
the ruins of which are in that vicinity.
Among others is war club, about three
feet long, also bundle of corn leaves and
husks in perfect state of preservation.
These were found in stone building, three
stories of which yet remain.
