EDUCATIONAL.
Requisites for Practical Success as
Teacher.

The qualities which help teacher
to command a good situation may be
conveniently grouped under three
heads, power of discipline, thor
ough education, and ability to work
well with other people. ANY principal
or committee seeking teacher, wish
es to find one combining all these
qualities; but they are rarely to be
found in any marked degree in the
same person. A teacher who unites
two of them can usually depend on
having fair position with fair sal
airy. Accordingly, whoever intends to
make teaching profession must con-
slider his own natural powers in these
directions, and decide what kind of
self-education is necessary for him.
In schools where the intellectual
standard is high, what is commonly
called the discipline is easy, for the
pupils are occupied and interested in
their studies. Discipline is still of i'm
portancc, but it is of such nature
that it may often be best enforced by
teacher of gentle manners and cult
waited mind. But this is not usually
the case in the lower schools, where
the rough and unframed elements Of
society are to be tutored. OF course,
teacher need not be rough in dealing
with rough pupils, and there are excep-
tional persons who combine high in
tellectual attainments and refined
manners with quickness of perception,
and that overmastering firmness of will
which makes everything yield to its
authority. Generally speaking, how
ever, one who has profound love of
books, such q love as is needed to
make scholar in any high sense, by
this very fact is somewhat incapacitat-
ed for the successful management Of a
hard school. In room where eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty. the
mind'is too much distracted TO do any
work except on an exceedingly low
plane. The teacher who has the
quickest eye, the sharpest ear, the
readiest decision, the one whose fac
ulties are always on the alert, whose
wits are always all about him, in the
very room, Is the one who succeeds in
such place, and enjoys his success.
II, by any misfortune, a scholar finds
himself in such place, he must make
the best of 1t and cultivate the quail
ties belonging to II, and he may with
difficulty achieve success; but he will
hardly enjoy his success, for it will be
bought at too great sacrifice of what
are TO him the essentials Of life.
Yet such work Is by no means to DO
undervalue1. In some respects IL is
the most important work which can be
done now in this country. TO bring
the lawlcss elements Ia our COM
munlty under the strict dominion of
law is so pressing need that II seems
sometimes rs II our nations salvation
depended upon 1t. Happily, there Is q
large class Of our teachers who show
this special aptitude for governing.
Only, speaking in general terms, we
must say tho student Is not the disci-
plinarian, nor Is the disciplinarian the
student; 80 that teacher, starting In
hh profession. ought 70 consider which

Marrying OFF the Girls.

1t is singular to note the gravity and
the dignity assumed by n young girl as
soon as her elder sister is married and
out OF the way. A case of this kind is
seen in a family that has been passing
the Summer at Beach Bluff. The elder
daughter, after considerable maneuver-
ing, succeeded in winning the affec.
tions Of a masculine heart, while her
sister, who was by far the prettier and
more interesting of the two, was kept
in short dresses and doomed to wear
her hair in ''pig-iails," all gentleman
friends being strictly prohibited.
Now, however,. all is changed, long
dresses and attractive costumes are
worn, she enters into society and has
already learned the art of dainty CO.
quetry, whereby at almost a glance
she can determine mans worth, his
probable motives and his desirability
as husband should affairs take a SER
ious turn. Such accomplishments in
girls not out OF their teens were un-
heard OF u generation ago, but to-day
they form necessary part Of young
lady's education. Verify the game of
hearts is singular as well as q dan
gerous game.

STATE NEWS REPERTORY.

Ed. H. Baker, former postmaster at
Victoria, was convicted in the United
States court, at San Antonio, of EN-
bezzlement of $40 post-offfce fund.
His wife, rho was present during the
trial, was affected to tears at the YER

Nathan Underwood obtained yer
dict in the district court, at San Anto-
MO, for $4,000 damages against the
International Railroad company, on
account of being badly MANNED and
scalded by the collision of a loco1io-
tive with car on which plaintiff Was
a passenger. The case will be ap-
pealed.
The Austin correspondent of the
Galveston News alludes to the Thomp-
son tragedy by saying: "The people
of Austin are relieved at the death of
Ben Thompson, and are happy until

Non residents owning lands in this
state are paying their taxes very
freely. This rather indicates a good
land Office business and demand for
lands.
Two MeXicans were arrested in
San Antonio on charge of forming
a conspiracy to assasinate Jacob s.
Coy, the special policeman, who was
concerned in the Thompson and Fish
er tragedy. They were arrested on
the information of two mexican wo-
men who overheard them talking
about Coy.

that plaintiff had failed to show legal
confiscation under the confscation

you ask if it pays to raise corn. With
out COWS you loose half the profits Of

COWS must correspond with the size

can be raised as well on sIzimsttttiiiiik as
on new milk; and then the pigs need
milk. 1t is hard to raise nice, plump,
thrifty pigs without milk. And, in the
west, stock pays better than anything
else. If, as usual, the farmers wife
is allowed the disposal of the butter
money she will not grumble at the
work. If the dairy is small it is but
little more work to take care of the
milk and butter than to take care of a

butter will pay for many necessaries
and comforts that if paid out of the

here that pay nearly their entire store

great evil is growing up in this state
in this way, and besides we are build
ing up an office-holding aristoc-
racy dangerous and destructive in
every way to all the intents
and purposes Of representative
forms and theories. If it were demon
strated that because a man is elected
to congress in the first instance, there
fore he is superior in brain and moral
qualifications, then the theory of long
terms would hold water. AS it is, the
argument is the other way. 1t is more
democratic and more nearly American
in every way to change our represen-
tatives in congress and senate often.
In fact, the people are really and truly
anti-third term in their sentiments.

CONGRESSIONAL REPRESEN-
TATION.

We enter general plea against tie
policy of giving any man a life lease
on seat in congress. We think we
have cogent reasons for the position,
and we propose to state them frankly
and fearlessly, and if there are politi-
cal corns of tender nature about
they are liable to be rudely trodden
upon. In the first place this is,
or rather it is supposed to be, repre-
sentative government, the people
delegating one man to do certain
things, attend to certain interests
and make proper representa-
tions at the national capital for them
1t is not the people of the state who
commission them. They are sent by
the people of the districts and they
alone have right to be listened to.
1t these things are true, if the people
are to be represented in the way indi-
Gated, then it follows that the oftener
the representative comes fresh from
the bosom of the people the better
chance will there be that he will be
able to do this Understandings. A
few years residence in Washington is
is almost entirely destructive to those
intimate associations and sympathies
which render the representative |
effective in voicing the feelings
of the people on the floors of |
congress. 1t is true the vaca-
tions are spent at home. but that |
does not do away with the objection
to long tenures of Office. In Wash
ington the influences which mould |
sentiment and opinions ara organized,
trained and thorough. They are as
effective as such training always
makes them, and those of home are
loose and unframed, land long resi-
dence is necessary to enable a repre-
sentative to again re-enter the grooves
which he must do, if he truly repre-
sentS.
A long term of Office divorces
man in this way from his people.
This is why SO many old representa-
lives both in congress and senate
ouild houses and spend the remainder
Of their lives in the capital instead of
to the bosom of their con-
as would be natural did i
not this diyorcement take place. A i

A Wedding Dress.
Mrs, Booper's Paris Letter in Evening


Telegraph.
The wedding dress of young Phil
adelphia lady, Miss Fry, the grand
daughter of the late John Grigg and
the daughter of Nj. Horace Fry, was
lately on view IN the salons of Mad
anne Alexandra, that young and tai
ented dressmaker who is coming for
ward more and more as the rival of
Worth and Pingat, and whose toilettes
gotten up for the eX-queen of Spain
and Princess Isabella were lately so
much admired. The bridal dress in
question is a marvel of good taste and
of rich and elegant simplicity. The
corsage and train are in plain, heavy
white satin, the former made open en-
ceur and with close-fitting sleeves.
It is slightly pointed in front and
is trimmed with rufies of su-
rerb point lace. The train is in
large raised folds, and is attached to
the back point of the corsage. The
front of the skirt just below the
corSage is crossed by a gracefully
draped scarf of white Grape in full
curves, which is attached on one side
blossoms. Below this scarf the satin
embroidered ia a set pattern of flow
erS and leayra in white silk and seed
pearls. The young brides travelling
costume is composed of long red
ingote in stamped velvet of pale
brown color: This opens at the side
and up the back to the waist to
show short skirt of pale brown faille,
encircled with bands of seal brown vel
vet throughout its entire length. A
morning dress of extreme elegance is in
pale blue Grape and Sicilienne, trimmed
profusely with ruffles of white lace.
Another one is princesse robe in
myrtle green plush, with skirt front
of pale pink satin, entirely covered
with draperies of white lace. Mrs.
Grigg's dress for the wedding is in
royal purple velvet, the side breadths
Of the skirt parting so as to show
pleated underwidths of purple satin,
and the corsage ornamented with a
jabot in point dAlencon. The we'd
ding is to take place in Florence,
where Mrs. Grigg and Miss Fry have
been residing for some time past. The
bridegroom, 1 am told, is an Italian
gentleman, but 1 did not learn his
name

THE San Antonio Express made a
vast mistake the other day in its edi-
torial treatment of the Thompson kill
ling. 1t now sees it, and it is vainly
trying to escape by charging the peo-
pie and the papers of Austin with a
maudlin sentiment of sympathy for
the dead desperate. 1t won't do. 1t
would be wrong to assassinate man to
prevent the destruction of a church,
or school house, then surely it is
wrong to assassinate a man because
the interests of low variety show
are hazarded by his presence. The
God people of Austin hated the career
of Ben Thompson as they hate the char
acter and acts of his cowardly muir
derers. They have said so frankly and
the papers of the city but voice the
sentiments of the people. San Anto-
MO will never recover from the effects
of this indiscretion of the Express
until in some formal way she disavows
the dangerous sentiment that paper
expressed, and which the world will
accept as the uttered sentiments of the
city.
