ALEXANDRIA, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING, OCTR. II, 1882.

GENERAL MAHONE's candidate for Con-
sress in this district has, he says, collected
from the files of the GAZETTE string OF
ms-:pellcd words which he offers to his
audiences as offsets for his own orthographl-
cal f,ilings But, in the famous language
of ex-senator Thurman, that wont do"
If, owing to typographical errors or the
oversight Of proofrcadcrs, the words re-
ferred to did really appear in the GAZETTE,
somebody else found them for Mr.. Farr, as
his own manuscript in the hands of many
persons, proves beyond peradvcnture that
it was impossible for him to haye detected
them. But, even supposing that the mis-
spelled words which he says he got out OF
the GAZETTE were printed just as they were
written, that does not help a man who &C.
cupics the position Of Superintendent of
Public Instruction, and who is the editor Of
tho Educational Journal, but whose ortho-
graphy and syntaX as demonstrated by his
own manuscript written for publication,
would be discrcditablc to the youngest
pupil in the public schools. And then too,
typographical errors in the GAZETTE have
no bearing whatever upon the charges
against Mr. Farr's arithmctical Disqualified
tions when trcasurcrof his county, and when
the mistakes strangely enough, were always
in his favor Nor does the fact that some
one among the few political friends Mr.
Farr has who know how to spell, has been
able to pick out some misspclled words from
the files OLA daily newspaper. help the repu-
taton of Il man who at the time he told his
constituents he was in favor of giving the
McC'ulloch bill fair trial, had signed a
certificate, as Il condition precedent for the
support Of his boss, that he would obey the
orders Of that boss, and when he knew that
his boss had determined that the McCulloch
bill should be repealed. Mr.. Farr is not a
wise man. He never had the remotest
chance of election, but his vote would be
larger if had kept his mouth shut during the
whole campaign.

How TO TRAIN THE MEMORY
memory is bad, perhaps, but can tell you
two secrets that will cure the worst memory
One of them is to read subject when inter
ested; the otheris not only to read, but think,
When you have read paragraph or page
stop, close the book, and try to remember
the ideas on the page, and not only call
them vaguely to mind, but put them in
words and speak them out. Faithfully fol-
low these two rules, and you have the gold
en- keys Of knowledge. -ifoLden Dnus.

Make Somebody Glad.

On life's rugged road,
AS we journey each day,
Far, far more of sunshine
Would brighten the way,
If, forgetful of self
And our troubles. we had
The will and would try
10 make other hearts glad.
Though of the worlds wealth
We've little in store,
And labor to keep
Grim want from the door,
With hand that is kind
And heart that is true,
To make others glad
There is much we may do.
And a word kindly spoken,
A smile or tear,
Though seeming but tritles.
Full often may cheer.
Each day of our lives
Some treasure would add
To be conscious that we
Had made somebody glad.
Those who sit in the darkness
OF sorrow, so drear,
Have need of a world
OF sohce and cheer.
There are homes that are dcsolatc.
Hearts that are sad
Do something for some one.
Make somebody glad.
