More About Gossip.

| Ed. Register-In your last issued ak il
his communication about gossip" suggests
| "culture'' as a remedy for that prevalent
| evil. Now, the question arises in my mind,
| How are the great masses of women-those
who are addicted to that habit-to become
cultured? / say women, because there is no
excuse for gossiping man, for he can go
out among his fellow men, meet great minds
and discuss the weighty questions of poiti-
cal and scientific affairs, and out of business
hours he has time for reading and reflection !;
but woman has a multitude of cares and
duties, which begin at early dawn and are
not laid aside at the close of business hours,
but she must bear them often for hours aft
er 'night has spread her sable pail over all -
and should she find a few moments for read
ing, she is usually too tired physically to fast
Ell her attention upon anything but light
reading, which only rests but does not ele-
vate, and hence her thoughts are confined to
her DISTINGUISHING, cooking, sweeping, &C.,
and to her neighbors' affairs as she sees
them from her standpoint, and to such ideas
as she gathers from her limited reading.
And tell you, friend az and all others
who are crying out against gossip, as long as
the present system of woman's labor econo-
my exists, we cannot hope for a reformation
in that direction.
There was a time when every man was his
own blacksmith, carpenter, tiller of his own
soil and grinder of his own corn; and he at
that time would probably have laughed at
the ideaif he had been told that in the future
every man would have his own trade-that
one man would do the smithing, another the
carpenter work, &c. So in the future u
woman will not be expected to follow forty
different callings and trades at once. Her
house work will be divided up, and each as
signed the part suiting best her inclination
and taste; perhaps it will be on the cooper
ative plan-time will adjust that. And when
she advances to that step which gives her a
voice in making and executing the laws
which govern her, she will adjust matters so
that the labor and culture will be more
equally divided, and not till then can it be
done.
But, in the meantime, o! We ''lords of ere
ation," ii lies with you to pailiate to certain
extent that prevailing evil. When you come
home in the evening with your paper fresh
from the printers, instead of burying your
self behind its interesting sheets, share it
with your tired wife, mother or sister, us the
case may be, while she patiently darnes your
socks or replaces the missing buttons from
your garments-read aloud to her, and dis
cQss the various topics of the day with her
rs you do with your fellow men, and assure
you the result will be entirely satisfactory;
her fingers will fly more nimbly, unconscious
of the labor they are performing, while the
mind will be refreshed and stimulated to
seek more knowledge in order that she may
keep pace with you, and in this manner you
will benefit her ip more ways than one. Try

] formers acquitted themselves SO wen with
out previous training to play and sing to-
gether, entities them to very fair standing as
musicians. I have heard singing and play
| ing where there was more noise, but rarely
where there Was more music. The bravura
or brass band style was very conspicuously
absent from all the selections.
But the music was valuable, as it disclosed
| a much more extended musical taste among
| the people of the Valley than had been ex-
pected. 1t is very clear that the members
and friends of the Teachers Association can
upon occasion furnish at short notice any re-
quired amount of good music, without CALL
ing on any church choir or the Ironton Cor
net Band. That is comfortable fact.
The pivotal point of the meeting was in an
essay by Mrs. Sanford Russell on "Idioms of
Language" 1t abounded in keen thoughts
sharply put; that is, it was idiomatic. 1t
could scarcely have been written by any but
one of her people, whose English, as rule,
is as idiomatic as their Hebrew was thirty
seven centuries ago. The essay is good IL
lustration of the fact that 80 long as national
peculiarities remain, they will give character
to any language that may be adopted; so that
Il good scholar can tell the nationality of a
writer by his idioms, for they belong to ma
tons and not individuals.
There was keen discussion over the es-
say, in the course of which the distinction
between idioms and slang came up. Some
were troubled by the fact that terms held to
be slang are found in our classical writers.
There is a worse difficulty. There are pas
sages in the Hebrew of the Old Testament
which if / would interpret literally before
the Association, would expect to be ex-
PEELED by way of the window. They are idi-
oms of which God alone can form concep-
ton.
Another keen discussion arose over Mr.. II.
c. Davis mode of teaching primary arith-
metic. Messrs. A. p. Vance and II. C. Davis
are excellent practical teachers, and their
suggestions are worthy of very close study.
The secret of their success is in their skill
in what may be called thought building.
They evidently understand that the growth
of thought involves all the steps of judicial
process, and teach accordingly. 1t will pay
any teacher we'll to spend day in their
school.
The meeting was success, for every one
came prepared to make it so. &c.

The Teachers Association.

The Association met at 1880 O'Clock A. NJ,
Callahan.
Music, "Oh! Where Are the Reapers," by
Miss Almira Greason.
Read and approved the minutes of last
meeting.
Mr.. Ebaugh read a paper on "Inventive
Drawing" He defined it as "The Grammar
of Art" and showed its Importance in teach
ing, in developing the connection between
the mind and the hand, and in order to in
vest learning with beauty and pleasure. He
then described the steps to be taken in
teaching. The paper was canvassed by
Misses Greason and Markham, Mrs. Sanford
Russell and Messrs. Miller and Callahan.
Music, "Our Hearts Are Light" by Miss
Greason, Miss Hughes, the Misses Patton
and Mr.. Ebaugh. The selection was good
and the presentation was really grand.
Mrs. Russell read paper on "Idioms OF
Language" The definition of the subject
was very clear and correct, tracing them to
the idea of borrowing expressions from 9th
er languages. The essay was full of acute
thought well presented, and was requested
for publication. TWAS thoroughly discussed
by the Association.
Music, ''Not Half Has Ever Been Told"
Recess until l O'Clock p. NJ, at which time
Thomas Callahan read paper ON "The
Adaptation of the Common School System tc
Its People"
Music, "Hold the College of the PEG.
ple."
Discussion of Mr.. CaIahan's paper fol.
lowed. 1t was very fully sustained by the
Association.
Mr.. Ebaugh Illustrated "Civil Govern
ment" very accurately and clearly, using
diagrams on the blackboard. The work was
carried out very ably and instructively
showing that Mr.. Ebaugh is well versed in
the Constitution of the United States. BY
tacit understanding the institute made this
exercise test of Mr.. Ebaugh's skill in de-
lineation. Accordingly, explanations were
asked and offered and questions raised on all
sides. But the result was that Mr.. Ebaugh
came out of the ordeal with the best skeleton
of Civil Government the reporter has ever
seen in an institute.
Music, ''I'll Stand BY You"
Mr.. A. p. Vance presented paper on
'"The Use of Text Books" advocating a jul
diciOus selection of text books well used.
Mr.. III. c. Davis discussed "Primary Arith-
metic," and gave us good drill and furn-
ished fund of interesting facts on the
elementary rules.
Music, "The Bridge"
A resolution of hearty thanks was ten
dered for the music.
The Association adjourned until the first
Saturday of December.
The meeting of last Saturday demands y
more extended notice than a mere minute Of
its proceedings; and the public attention
should be called more fully to the Associa-
ton which is now commencing the second
year Of its existence.
Last year a few talked the thing up, and
this year it has set out in very encouraging
shape. 1t has enrolled nearly thirty mem-
bers, all OF whom are practical teachers.
Last Saturday was the second meeting for
this year. The Executive Committee had
provided abundance of material In the way
of exercises, and the programme made it,
self.
The first thing to be noticed is the music.
1t was excellent; and the fact that the per-

II you do, we can give you no better adj
vice than to call on A. X. Sutton, proprietor
of the Arcadia Valley Nursery. He has APP
pies, Pears, Peaches, Cherries, etc, ETC.,
of every variety. Most of the fine fruit grown
here this season is from trees taken from his

paper, and his word can be depended upon
at all times. Orders by mail for trees from

"Nothing Mean About Him."
From the Detroit Free Press.

At 8 o'clock yesterday morning an
old woman sat IN the Michigan Cen
trail station, wiping the tears from
her eyes. 1t was nobody's business
in particular, to inquire whether she
had fallen heir to a million dollars,
or Was travelling through life with a
broken heart, but one certain man
stepped forward after a time and
made some inquiries. Then he pass
ed around among the crowd and
said:
Gentlemen, here is poor old
woman who wants to get to Colum-
bus to her friends. Lets take up
collection.
In the course of four or five Minis
utes purse of So was made up, but
when he had counted it the man
said:
Gentlemen, let's chip in enough
more to buy her new dress. I'm a
poor man, but here's quarter for
the old lady"
The purse was now increased to
nearly ST, and the woman had just
pocketed the money when q man
stepped forward and said to the col
lector OF the purse:
"Why, Banks, is this your
ssOf course it u.s.
ssAnd that woman is your own

ed the man, as he buttoned his coat,
sit's mighty mean man who won't
chip in quarter to buy his own wife
a dress and help her off on visit"

Painting the Dome.

Washington Star: The most in
teresting improvement being made
at the Capitol is the painting of the
dome. luis is the first time in ten
years that this work has been thor
usbly and luily done. As you stand
At the foot of tue terrace below and
% X up ut the immense dome above,
the workmen there seem like midg
cts, clinging by toes and finger tips to
the convex surface. 70 he nervous
spectator the sight is more exciting
than interesting. The. narrow land,
lngs surrounding the lower and upper
end of the dome appear as threads
of white marble, on which hardy
a fly could obtain secure foothold
much less a man. You shudder as
you see human form sppear from
the interior of the cupola, and with
apparent carelessness climb back
ward over the narrow ledge to the
landing beneath. The ladder seems
fearfully small and unable to sup,
port the weight of or give foothold
to several who are upon it. They
lean forward at times until only their
feet and one hand are on the ladder,
as they run their brushes over that
part of the dome within reach they
seem suspended in mid air, and you
tremble lest the next blast of the au-
tumn wind, which you know blows
fearfuny hard up at that dizzy eleva-
ton, should loosen their frail hold
and dash them snapeless masses
against the stones of the pavement
200 feet below. Suddenly, while
you gaze, one of them rapidly de-
sends the ladder to the lower land :
ing, which is in reality about eighteen
inches wide3. but seems to you a
mere line, and, lighting recklessly,
even jumps down upon the project
ing edge of the column Immediately
below. You notice, however, that
he climbs back with much more
care, and you watch with sort of
fascinated interest till the eye grows
dim with its constant gaze, and you
seek inside for further information.

Six Months for Tickling Other PeO-

New York, November IL Yester-

at Newark, Charles Ulrich pleaded
guilty to the charge of entering at
midnight the room of two young
ladies' and tickling the soles of their
feet. One of the young ladies said
she occupied room with her sister,

rented a furnished room in the
house, entered their apartment The
sisters only realized his presence
when awakened by somebody tick

They gave the alarm and the
