Good Language.

AS soon as child begins to lisp its
first broken sentences, its education
should begin. Habits are formed
which will exist to greater or less
degree through life. Such being the
case, the conversation of the older
members ofthe family should be care
fully regarded. lest the little ones
learn ungrammatical expressions and
slang, which, sad to say, is so rife
among our young people. The SER
wants. with whom the children spend
much of their time, should be chosen
with reference to this matter. A
mother should feel it her duty to
point out any grammatical mistakes
make by them, and insist upon their
language being correct, respectfulan
void of slang at all times. 1t is eX-
ceedingIy difficult to break children
of habits once formed, and care in
this direction will save much trouble
and annoyance. One way to cultivate
the use of language, and at the same
time to learn of the occupations and
comparisons of her children, is for the
mother to encourage the daily nara
ton of what they have seen, heard,
and enjoyed, and the telling of their
lits4a2xperiences. The study of pic
lures, in which every child delights,
may be used. Children love to look
at pictures, and can always be Undue
ed to talk about them; this teaches
them observation, land how to describe
what they see. When stories are
read to children, they should be
abliged to reproduce them, using, as
far as possible, the language of the
book. The memory is strengthened
in this way, habit of attention is
formed, and the power Of expression
increased. If such plans as these are
Systematically carried out, they will
prove a wonderful help in the thor
ough education of child.-Ameri-

W REPRESENTA- i0N IN con

JURY SERTITE.

Between the Hon. John S. Wise, now
Republican candidate for Governor of
Virginia, and the Hon. John Sherman of
Ohio, the white citizens of the South, be-
Ing for the most part Democrats, have a
bad show for rights Of any kind. Mr..
Sherman wants the representation of Vir-
ginia in Congress reduced. Mr.. Wise not
only backs Mr.. Sherman, but wants to
keep them off United States iuries. 1t
will be remem bered that the advancing
national sentiment of the country forced
The change of the laws which confined the
selection of Federal juries in the South to
the U. S. Marshals, and put the selection
of such jUries into the hands of citizens of
the two political parties. This put an
end to the Juries with which all our read
ers became familiar in the years of recon
struction and later. But this did not suit
Mr.. Wise. Not suspecting the possibility
of there being Democratic u $. Marshals
in 1885, he On January Ssh, 1854, offered a
bill repeating this fair law and putting the
power of selecting juries back into the
hands of the Marshals. The bill never
passed, for Wise was far behind the times
in interpreting the spirit Of the American
people, just as John Sherman, his ally is
now. 1t would look strange indeed to see
Democrat in Virginia voting for the
man who offered that bill; indeed it would
be hard for a friend Of liberty and equal
rights anywhere to vote for him.

And yet again he Hon. John W. Daniel
charged that the Republicans expended three
hundred million dollars for the navy, and yet
the government has no navy. And in making
this statement he doubtless intended his hear
ers to receive it as d fact. He ought to have
known how far it was from fact. Since 1865
there has not been more than $3,000,000 APP
propriated for naval construction outside OF
the recent contract with John Roach for four
vessels. And yet Maj. Daniel is the lauded
