II took OCCASION" writes a cores
pondent of the New York Erening Post,
who has been investigating the subject
of negro education in Virginia, ''to en-
ter several public school-houses during
theghours of recitation. 1t was both
Interesting and impressive to look on
as the pupils were engaged with their
lessons, for it marked as no other scene
did, except that at the polling booth,
the revolution in the position of the
negro. The parents of the children
were as solicitous that helatter should
make as good an appearance here as at
church, and therefore always found
them to be neatly dressed for the oc-
casion. The various branches Of
knowledge in which they are instructed
were, of course, of the most elementary
character, as might be supposed from
the fact that the average age of the
scholars was about II. All the testi-
mony that.I got was to the effect that
they learned with the most remarkable
facility up to a certain point, but be-
yond that they were quite slow in ac-
quiring and in assimilating, and fell be-
hind as they were sought to be drawn
upward in the scale of learning, where
not only memory, but mental quick
ness, grasp and insight were essential.
The proportion of colored children to
the whole population of their color
who attended school was very large,
for their parents would allow nothing
but the most necessary tasks to keep
them at home. Neither the weather
nor the distance were permitted to
stand in the way of their being present
each day in their accustomed seats"

Confederate Cabinet Survivors

The recent appointment of r. NJ. L.
Hunter, of Virginia. to be Collector OF
Customs at the Port of Rappahannock
at q painfully small salary calls atten-
ton to the whereabouts and condition
of the few remaining members OF the
Confederate Cabinet. There were four
teen of them-Renjamin, Bragg, Breck-
inridge, Mallory, Memminger, Ran
dolph, Sedden, Trenholm, Walker,
Davis, Reagan, Toombs, Watts and
Hunter. Of these only five now re-
main-Davis, Reagan, Toombs, Watts,
and Hunter. Of these five only two
Reagan and Toombs-swere members of
the original Cabinet Hunter is not
only an old man now, but very much
reduced in circumstances, as is shown
by his willingness to accept position
which pays but about 5000 a year.
There are few members of the Confed-
crate Cabinet who are wealthy, Bob
{Toombs, who lives near Atlanta, is one.
Reagan is worth something, but not
very much. Watts, of Alabama, and
Davis of North Carolina, though pretty
old men, continue in the practice of
law at their respective homes. Hunter,
as indicated above, is poor.
OF those now dead, none except
Benjamin died wealthy. He made a
agnifcent fortune, as is well known,
in the practice Of law abroad. Of the
few members still living, each resides
now in the State from which he was
chosen for his Cabinet position. Rea-
gan in Texas, Hunter in Virginia, Watts
in Alabama, Davis in North Carolina,
and Toombs in Georgia. Only the
civil branches of the Confederate Gov
ernment are now represented, all the
secretaries tof war and navy having
passed away. ! Hunter and Toombs
were secretaries of state, Davis and
Watts attorneys general, and Reagan
postmaster general. Reagan is prob
ably the most active, physically and
mentally, of any of those remaining.
He is strong and vigorous, though he
was at deaths door year ago, when
an operation by some skillful physician
saved him. Cincinnati es-Star.

The Physiology OF Precipitation.

There are probably 2,5O0,OO0 sweat.
glands belonging to each human being,
the object Of the existenceo of this per-
spiratory system being to remove the
excess of water and noxious gases and
to regulate the temperature of the
body. Perspiration is always going on,
and Under normal cond ditions it tamounts
to- about twopints atlay for each per
son. If this perspiration IS checked in
any way grave results are apt to ensde:
The blood would rush to the lungs and
cause congestion, or to the throat, or to
the stomach, or other parts, which
would become at once affected. The
first principle Of health is to keep the
skin in good condition, and the way to
keep the skin in good condition is to
use proper food, to bathe often in cold
or tepid water, and dress. properly

Every farmer should keep pot of
paint continually on hand and before
putting his machinery away for the
winter give 1t a good coating. It is
wonderful how machinery will last If
the wood is kept well painted, the
metal parts oiled, and everything
kept in good repair. A reaper, NOW
er or grain drill ought to last man,
who only cultivates an eighty acre
farm, a life time, and will, if the
proper care is taken. 1t is only by
the closest care and economy that
reasonable profits can be made on a
farm, and there is no way in which a
man can economic to better advan-
tage than by taking good care of his
farm neutrality-suspicious. Advocate

wheat. barley corn, bran, linseed'
hemp seed, crushed fresh bones, mus
tara seed, green cabbage and clover;
and q reasonable mixture of all these,
varied more or less, with the aid OF

afford every element called for to pro-
duce constant yield of eggs. A large
quantity of broken fresh bones is one
OF the most important aids, and with
