A Friend OF Temperance.
Columbus Republican.

Our Senator Duncan, who has made con

perance, voted against the bill to provide for the
teaching Of the effects of alcohol in the public
schools, and for the bill to permit saloons to re-
main open until IL o'clock. Mr.. Duncan is a
very nice sort of gentleman, personally, but he
is one of the smallest of small politicians, who
has not enough independence to say his soul is
his own if the caucus or the liquor league should
decide otherwise.

Their Efficiency Dependent Upon the Em-
ployment of Good Teachers.
Rev. DR.. MAYO, who has so earnestly
devoted himself to the work of improv-
ing the condition of the Southern
schools, realizes fully that the amount
of money that can be set apart for edu-
cation in the average Southern commu-
nifty must necessarily be small but he
is by no means discouraged. He has a
very simple theory as to the best way
of benefiting them. There is. he holds.
only one absolute essential, and that is
a good teacher. He does not think it
time as yet to spend money for the ele-
giant equ pment of model school,
houses. With him the teacher is the
thing. 1t is gratifying to find tn S opin-
ion earnestly mainta ned by SO flu
ential an educator. for it is well, in
view of the possible appropriation OF
large amount of money for educational
purposes by the National Government,
to inculcate the sentiment that the en-
ployment of the best teachers should
be the first rule to be observed in its
disbursement Current,

4 New Kind of Coffin.

The Antwerp correspondent Of a
French Journal gives a description Of a
new kind of coffin, for which the in
ventor, Belgian, had hoped to secure
place in the exhibition, though to his
great modification the Committee re-
fused to allow it to figure among the
other attractions of the big show. The
peculiarity of the 'cercueil perfec-
tonne" is an ingenious piece of mech
an;sm fitted into it which effectually
obviates the possibility of being buried
alive. The pressure of the earth
thrown on the coffin iberates sort OF
stiletto, which is so placed that on
being diseDgaged it pierces the heart
of tie occupant. An idea prevails in
France that the mistake of burying n
living person is by no means so rare an
occurrence as could be desired. The
writer of an article which appeared
some time ago in the Figaro stated that
it was an exceedingly common thing
for Frenchmen 10 insert clause ln
their will directing their surviving reia-
tives to call in a surgeon 10 perform
the operation which the Belgian coffin
performs automatically. That appre-
tensions of the same sort are not un-
common in Belgium the very invention
of the contrivance in question shows.
Had the "cercueil perfectionns" been
known in Meyerbeer' time, he need
not have asked his friends on his deaf
bed, as he did. to bury him with a load
ed pistol in each hand-St. James Gu
