A SCHEME has recently been suggested in the Railvsy Age, for the construction Of an "Undulating Railway" along the ndge of the Rocky Mountains, connect ing the Canadian Pacific with the South ern Pacific. The idea of "undulating railroads was discussed as early as the year 1883. The plan is to avoid expen- slve grading, by the use of steam at the proper times. The working of the en- zine IS to be suspended during each descent and part of the succeeding ascent. Thus, during the intervals, the steam IS ''nursed" and accumulated so as to be applied with the utmost force at the moment the velocity on the brow ot the hill begins to decline. The sys- tem IS approved by such railroad men as Robert Stephenson, Sr., but so far it has never been adopted by any railroad hne.

 strong" Mir. Parton observes, bat he
 discovered on this occasion that wo-
 mans won't was stronger In spite O.
 all hls fUming and stOrming, the ladiea
 resolutely refused to have anything to do with Mrs. Eaton. When she appeared
 in a cOtilhon at fashionable ball they
 would Immediately retire from 1t; when
 seated next Co her at supper, they would quit the table; when brought tete-a-tete with her ih conversation, they would
 turn their backs upon her and otherwise manifest their utter disapprOyal of her presence.
 lt was this controversy over Mrs Eaton that really contributed more than anything else to General JaeksOn's quarrel with Calhoun and drove the lat ter into the nullIficatIOn project. The Cabinet was convulsed and broken up under the same pressure. And 1t is unqueslonably true that Mir. Van BuTen gained the Presidency by siding with Jackson in this matter. Mrs. Eaton does not appear to have been a specially remarkably woman in any way. She was passGbly handsome and intelligent, and her father had been an old friend of General Jackson. When Major Eaton married her she was a widow, her first husband, a purser m the navy, having committed suicide, leaving her with two children and very little for tune. According to the best testimony she was not in fact a wanton or bad woman, but only a careless and indis- erect one. She liked admiration and social excitement, but was not given. We should say, tO intrigue and and the circumstances which made her such a prominent factor m Washington affairs were accidental rather than of her own choosing or causing. IL IS none the less true, however, that she was the occasion of more contention and more political manHuvring and animOsity than any other one woman who has ever fig ured in American history. Soon after the close of the Jackson Administration she was again left widow, and a rich one at that, and she continued to live in Washington for many years in elegant style. though she never succeeded in overcoming the old prejudice against her or m winning the measure of social which Gen. Jackson strOve so hard and perseveringly tO secure for her. Near the close of her life, when exDerlence should have saved her from such folly, she took a third husband in the person of a worthless young Italian daucing-master, who squaudered her fortune and brought her m poverty aud sorrow to the grave at the age of eighty four years.

How many others have you help ed?
 Ignorance is misfortune. Wilful ignorance is a crime.
Government and Discipline.

In all the rules and methods of discipline employed. the true object of discipline should steadily be kept in view; namely, to train the pupils so that they may form right habits.
 We prefer to discuss this by set of professional questions and an- swers.
 What is of first importance in deal ing with children?
 Firmness, vigilance and uniformity.
 What means should never be re- sorted to to gain attention?
 Pushing, pulling and shaking.
 What punishments are wrong in themselves?
 Sustaining heavy burdens. unnat- ural and long continued attitudes of restraint, standing, kneeling, and spinning. So, are tying and confin- ing in closets.
 Why are these wrong?
 They are all resorts to mere phys ical force, instead of moral incent- ives, and involve no appeal to sense of honor or duty in the child. They do not properly assert the AUTHORITY of the teacher, nor do they really produce obedience on the part of the pupil.
 These are the suggestions of the Board of Education of the City of New York and have been in opera tion in that city for many years with the happiest results. They form the basis of the special regulations of almost every first class city and bring about the same results. They are in accord with reason and we should bring ourselves up to them as soon as possible.

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of weight in the back, loins and lower part of the abdomen, causing the patient 10 suppose he had some affcc- tion of the kidneys or ncighboring or gans.

The Institutes.

Is there teacher in Arkansas not in accord with Institute work? To all such we write tlis word. Your action is either based upon miscon ceptlon of the common school sys- tem, or wrong state of affairs ia your own head. In either case it is your duty to change your opinions or QUIT THE susiSEsss.
 To cure wrong conceptions l sub init these propositions:
 Public schools are State schools. The State must control them. Counties separately are not the State
 School trustees are not the State. Finally you are not the State. The State as owner furnishes the money.
 The State supplies the detail.
 The teacher must either pull with or against the State.
 The State has advised Institutes. The State was wise in this action. Tue real intelligence of the world Is behind the action of the State.
 As agent you are directed by your principal.
 II you cannot do what is demand ed by your principal, it is your right and duty to sever the relation.
 But you cannot pull and rebel at the same time.
 II it were possible to cure wrong headecness, I would submit the fol lowing:
 Read more and argue less.
 Study more and know more.
 Study the celebrated case of the "one juror against eleven" Read the classical story of "The Dull and the locomotive"
 Reflect npon the value of socia relations.
 Think about professional dignity. Is 1t right "To never learn any 'nlng and never forget anythingY'
 How much principle is lost by [ monthly association with your pro iessional equals? How much of your worth belongs to others?

Resources Ot Arkansas.

We commence with this article a series of articles bearing upon the State of Arkansas as d desirable habitat for thinking immigrants. We propose to take it County by County and We will be thankful to the citizens of each County for all true accounts Of their sections. The July number will deal with Faulk ner and Drew Counties. In this number we produce an extract from a paper by Prof. Roesser upon the Geology of Arkansas.
 s'The carboniferous formation coy CTS very large area of the State of Arkansas, being q southern exten sion of the coal fields of Missouri. It IS not always, however, to be pre- dlctcd from the presence of carbon ferrous shales and limestone that beds of coal are accessible, still this valuable source of prosperity to State is not by any means deficient in Arkansas. On the northwestern boundary and along two thirds of tue western margins these rocks pre- vail.
 But the principal mines and those which furnish the best coal, are To- cated on the Arkansas River, and on both sides of its basin. As far east as White county, bordered by the river of that name, good seams of coal have been opened. The out line of the formation is irregular and not distinctly made out The best coal, and the most productive beds, are found on Spadra Creek m John son county, and are known to extend far back into the country in q north erly direction. Near the mouth of the creek the seam is about 5 feet thick, from which must be deducted few inches of clay seams, shale and poor coal. In the western coun- tues, Franklin, Sebastian and Craw- ford, valuable seams of coal have been discovered from } to feet thick. and it is asserted that coal exists in five counties of the State. From the abundance of timber which can be used for fuel, the value of coal is not as fully appreciated as it will be hereafter. At present the great demand is to supply the black smith forges.
 The character of the coal of Ar kansas is, for the most part, semi bituminous, inclining to bituminous, no true anthracite thus far having been detected within the State. This might have been inferred from the absence of those eruptiye rocks which by metamorphic action. con vert the one description into the other. The zinc ores are of such frequent occurrence that Arkansas may be said to surpass every State in the Union in this respect. The lead ores are remarkably free from foreign admixture and not argen- tife9ous. The proximity of lead mines in Missouri somewhat depress- es this branch of enterprise in Ar ! kansas"

 The Arkansas University.
 The University of a State de- mands:
 1. An efficient head.

 2 A harmonious faculty.
 The University of Arkansas has each of the first two requirements, but is deficient Tn the third.
 That eminent men should d:sa- cree is misfortune to be lamented, hut which can not be remedied. But, that eminent men in the execu tion of n great public trust, shall so far forget themselves in thought as to ieopardize the growth if not the existence of the trust property is q question of very different nature, lamentable nevertheless, but which MAY RE CURED.
 The interestss of Arkansas must not be merged Tn the quarrels of its officers. Independence in official ac- tion is not only desirable but neces- sary to the permanent well being of every institution depending upon the cooperation of officers. But inde- pendence, itself, most. move Tn the line of the objective development designated bv the organism from which it springs. The independent action of the severaltv must encom pas the purpose of the entirety or SIRE AND SWIFT destruction awaits not only the whole but also every part. It is no part Of the supervise " duty of the board to enquire into the relative merits or demerits of it's officers upon these questions of indi- yilual disagreement. It islAtheirs to lay out in detail the policy of the institution and to sec to IL that ev cry one connected with the affair does his individual duty. The pol ICY of the board is the policy of the State and must pe heartily acquiesc- ed in by the president, the faculty and the school Let each one in re bellion to the action of the board and to it's legitimate authority, either covertly or openly, BE REMOVED and that AT ONCE. Let this policy be ad. hered to though every professor % to the block. And the board must remember that they represent no faction, individual or section. They stand as trustees for thousands of children and MUST execute their trust fearlessly. When it is known that this grand body of men has surrendered to faction, to self, or to section, It will not be long before that body will be reorganized by the silent trustees who can not and who will not forget their children and the posterity that is to come.

Institute Work.

The work of framing the youth of this state to habits of thought, in- dustry and usefulness is one of great importance.
 To so lay the foundations of char acter as that good citizenship shall result, is work of great magnitude and demands careful thought.
 Time and money are being ex- pended by the State and other large benefactors ill order to prepare teach CTS for this duty.
 In these Institutes much time will be given to methods of presentation and detail of plan, not however, to the exclusion of class work.
 In this as in every profession a clear comprehension of a subject does not involve minuteness of de- tail.
 Their object is an improved quail ty of work. This can be attained in the best manner by converting the Institute, as far as possible into a model school.
 "Recitations should be models; the manners, department, and punct- uality, models. It is believed that the spirit begotten Tn this way at these professional meetings will re main with the teacher throughout his life.
 The conductors should cause full record of attendance, department, and plan of daily work to be made, and at the close of the Institute, for ward to the State Superintendent at Little Rock. They should also pre- pare and forward reports conveying the following points:
 l. Any modification of syllabus, and reasons.
 ?. Measures taken to secure
 l. Punctuallty
