osMAN pIGNA DEFEATED.
On Thursday the forces under General
Graham took a position one mile from the
rebel camp. The rebels opened ffre on the
British forces at o'clock In the morning.
The British soldiers were instantly on the
alert. They formed into squares preparatory
TO receiving the attack which was momen-
tarily expected. No attack came. The
rebels kept up firing until daybreak without
drawing reply from the British troops. The
British casualties during the night were one
officer and two men wounded and one man
killed.
About o'clock the British troops were
ordered to open fire OH the enemy, and the
fighting commenced. Probably not more
than 5000 rebels were seen In front, but as
the British advanced more sprang up, some
times 200 yards away, armed with spears.
Brandishing huge shields these charged
down upon the British ranks without hest
tation ut breakneck speed until bullets laid
them low. The British stOrmed the works
where the rebels were in force. The gallant
blacks held out shield and spear against
bullet and bayOnet until the trenches around
looked like graves. After three hours of
continuous fighting the rebel position was
taken and Osman Digna defeated. The
fighting was more severe than on Feb. 1.
The battle lasted until noon.
The battle was series of desperate close
fights. The SOudancSe, who fought with
the utmost recklessness, rushed in hOrdes
upon the Second Brigade square, causing
the Sixty-fifth Foot to waver and fall back
upon the marines, throwing them into con-
fusion. The latter abandoned their guns,
and had retreated several hundred yards be-
fore they could again be brought into organ
izatiOn. The First Brigade square stood
firm and checked the onslaught while the
second square reformed. Then ensued two
hours most desperate fighting for the re-
covery of the lost guns. The rebels charged
repeatedly, hoping again to confuse the
ranks of the second square, but were unsuc-
cessful, and slowly lost the temporary adj
vantage they had gained until the lost guns
were recovered. Meantime the first brigade
advanced inch by inch, the rebels stubbornly
contesting theirprogress Resistance became
more feeble as vOlley after vOlley was
poured into the rebels, and finally the front
was cleared and the first brigade rushed into
the camp of Osman Digna. The rebels,
however did not flee, but slowly retired to
the mountain Businesses, firing as they re-
treated.
Following up their advantage the British
continued to press the rebels, who wouldn't
run, and continued to retire slowly striking
blow for blow until driven beyond their
camp, when Graham ordered halt Os-
mans camp was found full of loot" The
British loss was 100 men killed, many of
whom are officers, and $50 wounded. The
rebel loss was =, 400 killed.

MANNERS.

Don't You teach your scholars
manners? This question was asked
me by patron of the school, who
had been really disturbed at public
entertainment, by some illmannerly
boys. l answered yes / did.
also said to him that if he would
60 with me to school, would show
him company of as well behaved land
as manerly boys and girls as he could
find in any other gathering in the
neighborhood.
In another district where | taught,
a patron Of the school, and a father,
asked the school board to supply
pupils of the school with spittoons
because had forbidden any splitting
on the floor. He-the parent-thought
l was attending to what was none Of
my business. fl would teach his
boy Arithmetic, he would attend to
the other part of his education. Yes
l suppose he would. He would at
tend to it just as many parent at
tends to that part of the childs edu-
cation, viz, pay no attention to it
at all.
In another district much fault was
found with teacher because it was
said he gave to much attent on TO
the personal appearance of his pu'
pills, requiring them to wear their
pantaloons outside the boot leg, keep
their coats on, keep their finger nails
clean, remove the hat, when such lit
tie acts that would keep his school
room from having the appearance of
a company of rough boys, careless,
and regardless Of the customs of
good society.
| mention the cases to show that,
while one patron inquired if good
manners were taught in school, many
others actually opposed the teacher
in such work.
1t is quite common to put all the
blame for the present number of row.
dies, ,vagabonds, loafers, and all spe-
cies of immortality, upon the public
schools. Now as one of the weakest
of the teachers Of district schools,
l am willing to take my just share of
the blame, but may the Heaven help
the heads of many of the homes Of
our land in this matter.
The school law does not specify
manners as one of the subjects to be
taught in our common schools, yet l
believe that in every school district
there are some patrons who will sus-
tain a teacher in his efforts to make

/ grant it is subject for home train
ing, but because of the negligence of
parents, and in many cases the lack
of knowledge of that kind of train
ing for themselves, where will the
child be trained if not in the com
mon school?
If all men and women possessed
good manners, then there would be
no need for special training for the
children. They could be nothing
else but mannerly. Are not men
wso are heads of families, on the
streets, and at places, just as bad as
the children, and from homes where
there is no culture, no refinement,
nothing but rudeness and selfshness
known, can we expect children to
come trained in politeness and good
manners? Those children who are
surrounded at home with an atmos
phere of culture easily fall into the
habit of being polite, while those who
are not so surrounded, are coarse,
selfish, and profane, and inconsid-
crate OF the happiness and rights of
others. These, need diciplinei

home, makes it imperative upon the
teacher to give to it a considerable
of his attention in The school.
