1t is proposed to make public use of
the excellent kindergarten that has
been In operation in this city for some
time past, by connecting 1t with the
city schools. Such move would speak
well for the general intelligence of the
community, and the Board of Educa-
ton in particular, who, we are told,
look with considerable favor upon the
project. The amount Of useful knowl-
edge that may be taught children be-
fore they are old enough to attend
school regularly is marvellous. That
"the child is father of the man" is no.
where more plainly indicated than in
the development Of these little minds
from the first awakening of conscious
ness till they arrive at school age. This
period should be extended for a suffi-
cient time to enable the child to obtain
aphysical development that will carry
him through the first years Of school
life strongly, without danger of con-
tracing that terrible lethargy so often
noticeable in children who have been
unduely advanced and stimulated By
unwise parents. The best authorities
place the age at which regular school
life may properly begin at about eight
years. But the child's actual education
should begin long before. Previous to
this time what world of the unknown
has been revealed to him! What does
he learn after this period that in any
way compares with 1t? And yet, the
study of this development is compare
lively an unknown field. Every moth
er Is left to judge from her instincts
and learn from her own experience
how to conduct her children's education
up to this time. While thousands are
spent in training their minds after they
arrive at school age, the earlier stages
Of mental growth have not been made
the subject of scientific inquiry and in
vestigation. Vast researches have
been made in discovering the minutest
insects and learning about their mode
of life, and there is not tiny plant
that lifts its head above the earth to
which science has not applied her MI
croscopic eye; but the study Of these
little minds unfolding about US, and an
endeayor to subject their action and
growth to the same scientific scrutiny,
Is comparatively an unheard Of thing
50 far as any practical application is
concerned. Occasionally there have
been those who, hundreds of years in
advance Of average humanity, have
pushed out into this field and have left
landmarks Of their work to guide COM
ing generations. Such a character was
Froebel, the originator Of the Kinder
garten. 1t is to the latter part of this
earlier period that the Kindergarten is
especially adapted, That education

The interest in the summer and fall
elections is commencing to crop out,
and within month the chances of the
different aspirants for the suffrage Of
the sovereign people will be discussed
pro and con with constantly increasing
animation. 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 congressional struggle, and this
being the fact, the new B. s. o. Red
Book congressional edition becomes
almost indispensable. No publication
of political statistics ever made &c uals
it in extent of information given, or in
comprehensive arrangement. Itshows
not only the result of the election of
1880, but the result as well Of the cleo
ton of 1873. The Republican, Demo-
cratic and Greenback vote for the two
elections Is presented separately, and
comparisons made of gains or 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
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. & O. publication in
tended for something above the ordi-
nary circulation, and to this end is sent
only where requests are made to G. X.
Lord, G. P. A., Baltimore. Md, for 1t
by mail and enclosing a 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 will not part with it for almost any
money, so exceedingly valuable q text
book is it for all who are interested In
or care aught for political statistics.

President Garfield last week received
two delegations from Virginia Repub-
Leans, the frst urging the desirability
Of the administration recognizing Ma
hone, and now comes the second, who
hold big pow.wow and explain why
Malone should not be recognized. The
character of the second delegation can
be determined from the fact that they
were particularly anxious to see the
anti-Mahone element recognized by
substantial offices, 80 that the Republi-
can party Of Virginia might not disin-

tyranny and oppression they have en-

springs. What the outcome of all this
will be the future alone can tell, but
that it will eventually result in the
complete overthrow Of the present
power, and give to the people consti-

The death of Benjamin Disraeii, Earl
of Beaconsfield, which has been ex-
pected for some time past. occurred
last Tuesday morning at 5 o'clock. The
life Of this man shows to what heights
an Englishman, subject to whatever
condition he may be at birth, may rise.
Of Jewish extraction. he overcame the
prejudices with which he was regarded
on account of his race. Of untitled
birth, and disposed in early life to
ridicule the nobility, he became the
leader Of the titled aristocracy. With
ont the influences of Oxford or Cam
bridge to cast his mind in English
mould, he yet became scholar in the
English acceptation of the term. he
was born In London in 1905, and at an
early age gave signs Of those character
istics which have been his for life. His
talents were of. the brilliant, rather
than solid order, and OF his various
public acts it is doubtful If any will
prove of an enduring character. His
father. Isaac Disraeli, was a purely
literary character, devoting his life to
study and retirement. and was the
author of several English works. Ben
jamin first appeared as society man,
dashing swell, intensely vain and ar
rogant. At the age of 81 he published
9 Vivian Grey" his frst novel, which
brought him into high repute as an au-
thor, although he gained the hostility
of the aristocracy by introducing some
Of the leaders of the nobility into the
work and exposing their acts to ridi-
Guile. He entered Parliament il 1887,
after three failures, and during the re-
mainder Of his life, when not in high
Office, was an active member Of the
House Of Commons. His first speech
in that body is understood to have been
failure, and he sat down with the
often quoted words, I will now sit,
but the time will come when you shall
hear me- Ten years later he was all
acknowledged leader in debate. He
held the Office of Chancellor Of the Ex-
chequer three different times and be-
came Prime Minister in 1887. This
Office he was obliged to resign the fol-
lowing year. He was succeeded by
Gladstone. On the dissolution Of the
Gladstone Ministry in 1874 he again be-
came Prime Minister. where he remain
ed until in the elections last year the
defeat of his party compelled him
again to retire. On examination, his
various public acts show him to be
strangely hollow and barren. All were
framed for impression, and by the force
of his genius he was enabled to SO daz-
gle the public mind as to compel their
attention to some brilliant prospect
rather than the fruits of his past poll
cies. Although Disraeli will be chief
~ remembered as statesman, his rep
utation as an author is of the first order.
His literary efforts have been mainly
In the line Of fiction, and several of his
novels rank among the best of the CEN
fury. Among these are "The Young
Duke" Coningsby," The Wondrous
Tale of Alroy," Lothair," and his
latest novel, "Endymion.' The latter
is said to have yielded him 100000. In
descriptive power he is unsurpassed.
and in the exposition Of politics, social
theories, and the illustration of real
public life by means Of fictitfons per-
sonages and incidents, he is without a
rival.

adverse criticism. 1t could not be
otherwise, considering the ground that
It covers. That the abuses resulting

Land tenure can be met and corrected
by one measure is not to be hoped for.

A health publication says one of the most
prominent causes Of eatarrh is the excessive
use Of salt and heaters, such as sweets, fats,
condiments and starch. This excess Of car
bonseeous food excites and infames the
mucous membranes Of the throat, nasal pas
sages, bronchial tubes. etc. It Is also caus ed
by indigestion and constipation. Head-ach es

SHINGLES.

A correspondent of the Country Gen.
tleman thus discourses in that journal
on the subject of treating shingles to
guard against decay:
In 1881 / built new barn and put on
a roof of the best shaved pine shingles
/ could get. They were made on nv
own pine land in Pennsylvania, and
made by experienced workmen. They
were not dipped or painted. The GU
pola on the ridge Is nine feet square,
and a streak the width Of it down to
the caves has no moss on it, the shin
giles look new on both sides Of the roof.
while all the rest of the roof is more or
less covered with moss. Icalled the
attention Of a reasonable carpenter to
it this year and asked him what made
the difference. He said it could be
nothing else than the paint that washed
from the cupola. A man in the neigh
boring town keeps his roofs all painted,
and I have been past his buildings
every few days for thirty years and
have never known of his putting on a
new roof. L have had much dealing
with him and know him to be a strict
economist. He paints all his buildings
Except his house, with yellow ochre
once in about ten years.
] think the best thing after painting
Is to whitewash with common lime as
seon as the roof is on. Put it on thick
and strong. Look at the roofs of the
old.fashioned houses of New England,
with the old stone chimneys, with a
roof below them as sound as the roof
below the cupola on my barn. II /
have very fat single roof, I paint it
when new; all others / whitewashed
before the scaffold is removed. This
is many times cheaper than paint on
new shingles. Experience and obser-
walton ought to teach old men what
material to use in building; young men
are very apt to follow some INFESTED
hobby.
