The Board of Aldermen reflected no

The libel suit brought by Constable
Francois.against man named Proctor for
defamation of character in publishing the
escapade of Francois with Miss Kuelter
ended as every one who heard of the case
supposed it would, in verdict for the de-
PENDANT. Francois was very foolish to
have brought such suit. The whole story
was made public at the time of the occur
rencss, there was no question as to the
truth of the statements and as Francois
was reelected the republication could do
him no harm. Under the circumstances
he could have no claim for damages, 9
view that any sensible jury would be very
sure to take. The only hope for Francois
lay in the impaneling of twelve champion
idiots. The fools are not all dead but the
chance of getting dozen of them into the
jury-box at one time is over remote.
The TATTLER has no business to dispute
the judgment of SO practieed and efficient
an official as Chief of Police Murphy on
matters within the line of his business; but
he is too anxious to remodel the little play
thing of police department over which he
presides on the basis of real police de-
partment. The difficulty seems to be that
he is trying to compress the idea on which
the New York police department is con-
Quoted, into small enough compass to make
it fit the diminutiye department of this
city. If the Chief would just stop trying
to swell the municipal police toad int the
magnitude of full blown police bull, his
experiments with our local police may es-
cape the fate that overlook the toad in the
fable.

'MoDERATE DRINKING MAKES
DRUNKARDs. There are 25, 900, 600
of moderate and immoderate drinkers

which may be classed as follows !:

1000, 900 immoderate drinkers, and
100000 of drunkards, more than
100000 of the moderate drinkers
(be it said to their shame) belong to
the confessed church of Christ.
Stop all moderate drinking. and in
five years there will be no

moderate drinking upholds making

"For the time is come that judgment

Were all the churches in the

moderate drinking they would most

grouping and tying together ten bun

would then represent hundreds, and
pupils could be led to associate one

IL to 19 inclusive may be arranged
in a column on the board. Then
the pupil should be furnished with

that the number IL is composed of
one bundle of ten ones and one sin
gle one added, by being permitted to
count ten sticks and tie them into a
bundle to represent 10, and then add
one single stick to this bundle to
represent IL; or add two sticks to
represent II. ETC., to 19. In like
manner the numbers from Il to %
may be taught; and so, too, all COM
binations of two figures. The knowl-
edge obtained by means OF such ex-
ercises will enable the pupils to learn
readily and intelligently both the
value and the form of written num-
bers and will introduce him pleas
antly into the art of reading and
writing all numbers.
But let it ever be borne in mind
that pupils learn to do thing by do
ing it. They learn to read and write
words or numbers by reading and
writing words and numbers; but the
teacher will see that they compre-
hend what they read and write.

One town in Illinois, with a popu-
latien containing 5000 young men,
on a recent Sunday had by actual
count, one hundred and forty young
men in attendance at the Protestant
churches in the morning, and one
hundred and sixty-One in the even
ing. On the previous evening, one
hundred and FIVE young men entered
a single saloon in this city in only
one hour, and there were thirty-slx
more saloons open at the same time.
Over forty young men were brought
before the magistrate of that city
within fur months, charged with
misdemeanors. Two hundred and
eleven persons were convicted of
crime during the year. FOur-ffths
of these were young men. Elgty-hve
prisoners were lodged in the Jail dur
ing the year, fifty-eight, or over two
thirds Of these, were young men.
There are now twenty-nine prisoners
| in the Jail, and twenty-five Of these
are young men. Is it not high time
we we're redoubling our efforts to save
young men ?-The Watchman, Chi

Temperance work IN Public Schools.
By B. J. TICE.

IF, as we often say, our laws are
our sentiments crystsyzcd, and laws
ahead of public opinion can not be
enforced, it follows that nothing can
be more important than educating
public opinion in the direction of
right. We can not save the sixty
thousand human beings who yearly
stagger into drunkards' graves, but
we can train their children SO that
they will shun and despise intoxicat-
ing drinks and work for the total
suppression of the traffic in them.
IF we rightly educate the young
they will soon create a public opinion
strong enough to make Prohibition
possible. Better than this, they
will exert moral force irresistible
and more effective in itself than all
the prohibitory laws ever enacted.
The work already done by special
temperance schools, Bands Of Hope,
and other organizations has been
both great and encouraging. The
influence of such societies, however,
is of necessity limited, and complete
results can never be brought about
until a thorough and scientific tenn
perance education is given each OF
| the ten million pupils who attend our
public schools. This can be done by
enacting laws making the teaching
of temperance principles compul-
sorry. Popular opinion should be in
| teliigent enough to demand prompt
action toward such legislation. II

NuMERArIoN AND NOTATION.

In the last paper were given some
practical suggestions in regard to
awakening or developing the notion
of abstract number, and IN regard to
teaching the names and significance
of the digits. It was suggested that
the child be taught to count as far as
ten by the use of buttons, acorns, the
balls on a numeral frame, or some
visible objects; that he should next
be taught to count groups of one,
two. three, four, FIVE, etc. By using
the groups of objects thus counted
as visible illustrations, figures may
be readily taught, if when one OBJ
iect is shown, the figure be put on
the board to represent it; and, when
two. three, or more objects are count
ed. the corresponding figure be put
on the board.
It was suggested, also, that the
value OF the several figures should
be taught by personal experience,
that a group Of three balls, for in
stance, is equal to a group of two
halls and one more, and it was sug-
oested that thus the child be allow
ed for himself to discover its possi-
hle combinations that would make
all the numbers, as we'll as the va
rious groups into which the numbers
could be deeomposed or separated.
In this way, and in this way only,
the value Of the several digets may
he thoroughly learned. Then, when
he reads or hears that four and five
are nine, he knows it is true, and no
snecial effort of memory is required
to retain it. The meaning of the
cipher must likewise be taught by
assoclating its form, It's name, and
the absence OF objects.
For the purpose of teaching No
tation and Enumeration, figures
should be arranged in columns upon
the blackboard, the figures from ] tC
Q inclusive in the first column 10
2O etc, to 80 in the second column
100. 200, etc., to 900, in the thir(
column. Subsequent columns shOult

units and its here is simply to hell
bridge the chasm between the know
and unknown, to aid the child in see
ing and comprehending the relation
of what has already been learned t
that which he has got to acquire. Al
tention should be called to the fac
that single figures can represent al
numbers below ten, but that ten re
ouires the use of two figures. Match

The Livingston Enterprise in calling at
tention to the appointment of Robert M.
T. Hunter to the position Of Revenue Col
lector at Rappahannock, Va, a position
worth less than $1,000 year, says it is
giving the newspapers a chance to moralize.
For twelve years before the secession OF the
Southern States Robert Hunter was one of
the leading members of the United States
Senate. At the Democratic convention in
1860 he was only second to Stephen A.
Douglas in the balloting for q Presidential
nominee. He was the first choice OF the
leading men of the South for President of
the Confederacy, but declined to accept.
He was Secretary OF State of the Confed-
eracy, but failing to agree with jeff Davis,
resigned to enter the Confederate Senate.
Throughout the e~ventful period that closed
at Appomattox, Hunter a one of the
strong pillars of the lost cause and through
it all maintained a high character for in
tegrity and consistent devotion to the
principles in which he was bred. The En-
terprise says his career has a local rs well
as a national interest from the fact that he
is a first cousin to DIR. Andrew Jackson
