The Tight Little Island Gets ssCOna
sider'bly Shuck Up, Like.o
LONDON, April 22-At 9:3O o'clock in the
morning an earthquake shock Of considerable
force was felt in the eastern counties of Eng
land. Localities in Essex and Suffolk were
the scenes of the greatest disturbance. At
Ipswich the shock was so severe that the
walls of houses were perceptibly shaken,
plates were ratified, and bells rung. The
people have been thrown into such a state of
CONSERVATION that business is for time
suspended
The shock was still more severe at Col
chester, where the conclusion lasted half a
minute.
The first symptom was deep, rumbling
sound, portentious and aweinspiring,
speedily followed by a quaking and shaking
of all buildings. Church bells sounded as
though swayed by unseen hands. Tall CHM
ney-stacks Of factories crashed in ruin to
earth, and numerous other structures were
destroyed. The spire of one of the largest
churches in the city, $50 feet high, fell with
an awful crash to the ground. Iti impossible
to estimate the amount of damage done, but
it is known to be tremendous.
The earthquake has caused a general feel
ing Of alarm and insecurity throughout
England.
LATER-Telegrams from counties visited
by the earthquake show that the shock was
more severe than reported by earlier dis
patches. At Colchester, town i'll Essex
county, the damage to buildings alone will
reach $4,000 The earthquake was more Sc
we're in Essex county than elsewhere, and the
dispatches report great destruction Of prop
erty there Many farm houses were wrecked,
and Langerhoe church, which has withstood
the storms of many years, was destroyed.

rno latest EGYPTIAN Horror.

PARIS, April 2?.-The Figaros CORE
spondent at Cairo sends the following details
of the recent Shendy massacre: "Thrce
hundred Egyptian troops and 600 non-com-
batants preferring to make the hazardous at
tempt to march to Berber to starving at
Shendy, set out from the latter place the 10Th
inst. Part Of the number went slowly by
steamer down the river, while the others
marched along the river bank. When two
hours march from Shendy they were at
tackled by the Arabs, and after a short light
all the troops excepting a few were mas
sacred. The Arabs afterwards captured
Shendy." :,
The Egyptian troops there had discarded
their arms and uniforms in the hope of being
spared. Few, however, escaped the general
massacre. Two thousand men, women, ana
children were slaughtered, many of them
refugees from Khartoum.

Letter in Milwaukee Sentinel ]

"What do think of social life in Washing
ton" is question SO often recurring that
one might suppose it to be Of paramount inn
portance 1t is like any other social life
human nature at its best and its worst. 1t
displays the greatest and loveliest traits of
character, and it gives full scope for the ig-
noble elements of petty vanity, display of
dress, false compliments, jealousy and envy,
those inevitable accompaniments, the world
over, of undeveloped but ambitious nature.
Here you will find women whose husbands
are high in official position, and whose purses
are plethoric beyond care, who yet
are bound hand and foot, by silly
conventionalisms, as firmly as are those
whose sole support is the salary at
the disposal of superior officer. The locker
on, who is accustomed to think in currents
that underlie the crusts of life, wonders how
it can be that mortal womanhood can, year
after year, from the dawn Of youth to the
setting of life's sun, in mists OF fearful eyes
and clouds of pale, gray hairs, dance attend
ance in the same unending round of fash
ionable gayeties, content that their names
are mentioned in the papers as in attendance
at all fashionable dinners: that their dresses

One of Esarnum,s "Aztecs.v

BALTIMORE, Nd, April 4.-Gen. Henry
s. Taylor, president of the board of directors
of Spring Grove Insane asylum of Maryland,
who has been visiting the insane asylums of
Ohio, has returned to Baltimore. Gen. Taylor
says that in the idiotic department of one of
the asylums he found the two children who
for many years travelled with Barnum's
circus as the "Great and Only Genuine Aztec
Children" He was told that the pseudo
Aztecs were simply idiots, and before
Barnum met them they were in the idiotic
department of one of the state asylums, and
after his contract expired and they no
longer proved a curiosity, they were returned
to the asylum. The matter is commented
upon here, and the action Of the asylum Off
cials in hiring out their patients is severely
condemned.

The object of the teacher is to teach
to think. The pupil thinks enough,
but he thinks loosly, incoherently, IN
definitely, and vaguely. He eXpendS
power enough on his mental work,
but it is poorly applied. The teacher
points out to him these indefinite or
incoherent results, and demands logl-
cal statements of him. Here is the
positive advantage theteacher is to the
pupil.
Let us suppose two pupils are study
ing the same lesson in geography or
grammar or history. One reads TO
get the facts; he fastens his eye on the
page and his mind to the subject be-
fore him; he makes the book a study
and acquires information from it; his
object is to acquire knowledge. He
attains this end. The other also
studies the book, but while reading he
is obtaining lessons in thinking. He
does not merely commit to memory;
he stops to see ifthe argument is sound
he analyzes it to see if the conclusion
is warranted by the premises.
One who thinks as he reads is quite
different, it will be seen, from him
who simply learns as he reads. 10
read and think is then the art of the
teacher. The reader for facts gets
facts; he comes to the recitation sea
and reels off those facts. His mind,
like Edison's phonograph, gives back
just what it received. While this
power is valuable, it is not the power
the world wants.
The teacher will find his pupils
come to the recitation to transmit the
facts they have gained. He must
put them in quite another frame OF
mind. Instead of recitations they
must be made into thinkers. The
value of the teacher is measured by
his power to teach the art of think
ing-Teacher's Institute.

Both Mr.. Nelson and Mr.. Kindred

monious settlement of differences out
there were just enough of hot headed

fortunate, but true.
