Buried Alive.

A young officer returned from
 China related, aprUpos of buryiDg alive, the following experiences; "On our passage home," he said,
 "we had in the transport, besides
 our own troops, a large draft of
 French soldiers. Disease soon
 broke out among the closely
 packed men, and deaths were of
 daily occurrence. The French
 dealt summarily with tn cir dead.
 As soon as a poor fellow had breathed his last, he was stripped
 a twenty pound shot tied to his
 heels, and his body thrust through
 a porthole into the sea. John
 Bulls prejudices rebelled against
 such rapid proceedings. When
 we lost any of our comrades they
 were allowed to be for twelve
 hours covered with the Union jack, and the burial service was
 read over then before they were committed to the deep. One day q French sergeant, who had just fallen a victim to the pestilence
 was brough. up on deck in the sheet in which he had died, to be thrown overheard. The twenty pound shot had been fastened to his feet anJ the sheet removed, when, in pushing him through the porthole, he was caught by a proiudlng hook or nail at the side and stuck fast.
 A few more vigorous thrusts sent the body further through; and in so doing the flesh was torn by the hook, and blood began to flow. That attention of the bystanders was attracted to this; and moreover, they tancied that they saw about the corpse other startling symptoms. "The mans iivew flew from mouth to mouth. In an instant willing hands were pressing eagerly to the rescue, ,and before the oody could touch the water it was cought and brought up on deck. The French sergeant was one of the soundest men on board of the transport ship when l we landed. ."-Chamber's Journal. l

Worth 3 Licking.

Some yetrs ago, in Georgia, that band of Chrittians known as Asce nsionists were having a grand revival. One day, when the meeting was in full force, a storm came up, and a young gen. tleman who was out hunting with his servant took refuge in the church door. Being curious to see the service, the two hunt CTS crept up into the gallery, and and there hid in a place where they could observe without being observed.
 "Come, Lord, come, our robes are ready. Come, Lord, come," cried the preacher, while all present gave a loud "Amen."
 "Massa Gabe." whispered Cuff fey, lifting his hunting horn to his mouth, "let me gib dem jist one toot."
 "Put that horn down or I'll break your head" replied the master in a whisper.
 The horn dropped by Cuffey's side. and again the minister cried: "Come. Lord. come, we are all ready for thy coming. Come, Lord. come."
 "DO. Marsa Gabe-do jist lem- me gib 'em jist one little toot." pleaded Cuffy; wetting his lips and raising the horn.
 If you don't drop that horn Cuffy, I'll whip you within an inch ofyour life," whispered the exasperated master.

PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS,

The following article on school teach
ing is from the Kansas City Journal
Now that school days have returned,
it is well to ask how the scholars are
equipped to subservc the purpose of
their mission-the education Of the
youth.
The first requirement is good teach
ers. With good teachers in charge of
the hosts of boys and girls who will
soon ell our school rooms, a twenty
weeks term of School will be beneficial.
However much our schools may lack in
facilities, or however barren they may
be of means to impart an industrial ed
ucat;on along with book ideas, a good
teacher can bestow upon the pupils a
great deal Of practical knowledge no.
where contained in the books. And it
is that kind Of knowledge our teachers
ought to be capable of impar;ing.
The common rule, We regret to say,
is, that the great majority of our teach
ers are untitled for the great and noble
task they undertake. They have been
untitled in great measure for broad
and practical teaching, by the cramped
education they have received. They
are mostly graduates Of high schools
and normal schools, IN which special
course of training is given, without re-
gard to the broader education and more
extensive knowledge acquired BY a
course at college. Our teachers arc
made specialists and are given no ac-
quaintance or practical knowledge of
the world.
The consequence is that they take to
teaching a lot of uneducated humanity
with variety of latent intellectual
force, and seek to direct it in the one
way, only known to them. In other
words, our children ale taught in mar
row way, confined to routine, and
learn in manner things ''by heart
which the head taking no. part, nor
forming any conception of the subject
This tendency of our teachers to fol-
low routine, should be overcome
Every departure from it in the way Of
some practical illustration of what the
text book tells, will interest the child,
and this display of interest on the part
of the pupils will buoy up the hard
worked teacher. The effort is worth
being make, and instead of drowsy chill
dren in the school rooms and wearied
teachers, we pretend to say We would
see teachers and children mutually in
tcreSted.

THE GAME LAW.

The season for hunting game etc, is
already here and the active Nimrcd is
now busily engaged in cleaning up his
accoutrements, preparatory to the fall
hunt. There is plenty of game in the

ed and we call their attention to the
following extract from the laws passed
by the last session.
Sec. 2. 1t shall not be unlawful for
persons to shoot or take possession of
any pinnated grouse or prairie chicken
between the first day of September and
the first day of January of each year,

any time.
Sec. 3. 1t shall DO unlawful for any
person or persons at any time to hunt
or pursue after any wild bird or game
upon the occupied or improved premis-
es Of another, without having first OBJ
tanned permission or consent of the
owner or occupant Of such occupied or
improved premises.
The law further says that any person
found guilty of violation of either of the
above provisions shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction
thereof, shall be fined in \ sum not less
than IS nor more than $50 for each and
every offense, and costs, together with
an attorneys fee of $40, and shall be
