DR. CURRY of Richmond, Va, one of the trustees of the Peabody educational fund, made a timely speech to the senate and legislature assembled together last Saturday evening, relating to the improve ment of our public school system We agree with him that the coun- ty superintendent should do more work, but we do not think that he should have the power to appoint teachers over the will of the di rtctors. Teachers would frequent + find themselves very unpleasant ly situated. Many communities especially the moro ignorant ones would feel that the teachers were being forced upon them, and a thousand annoyances could arise from this feeling. The doctor thinks that the state can have a normal school; that a portion of the P abody fund can | e easily ob- lined 10 assist in establishing it; ti'at the county superintenent sfould visit every school in the county for the purpose of ascer talHing whether the work is being done according to approved meth ohs; that he should allow none DO si.ions but efficient teachers, etc. We hope that this able address will result in some active work among our legislators in the great caase for which he speaks. In many of our county schools the blind are leading the blind, and the fact that the educational in- terests of Arkansas cannot he rep resented in our great national exib- ii k one of which we ought to be thoroughly asllamed.

REPUBLICANS in Congress have been trying to get a bill passet calling for the private corrcspon dence of Jeff Davis, ex-President of the Confectionery, to put on file as war documents, and the Demo crats have justly fought against such proceeding. The correspon dence between Davis and Gen Sherman, in which sherman char ged that Davis endeavored to form a kingdom with himself at its head during the Hate unpleasantness,' J brought about the controversy in Congress.

IT is now being counted that the Democrats will have majority ilI the United States Senate two years hence. If true, how glorious, foi this country to have thrown off en' trely the yoke of corrupt Repnb- can rule. The Democrats now have the executive, anu if it gets control of the Senate, will have the Legislative.

WHILE in ST. Louis a few days since
the editress of the LADIES JOURNAL was
the guest of friend, who for the purpose
of studying music, had spent some years at
Leipsig. A diploma hanging upon the
wall of our Sleopiug-room affirmed the
complete course through which this lady
had passed in that musical center of Ger
many. However, one of the interesting
objects upon the wall, was the picture of a
graceful, aged head, the long white hair
sweeping almost to his shoulders, the pro-
file noble; while the upward glance, the
wrapt, intent expression, stamped the face
as that of devotee of art, and devotee Of
art indeed, has this aged man been for

SOME OF the leading journals are daily
publishing the letters Of Mrs Lncio Van
neran, past editress of the Braidentown
Progress. Who, having married, resigns
nef position and responsibilities as co-edi-
tress of the paper, and aHirms that having
married she has no further interest in tbp
Progress, and does not care what the other
editor does with it. @
HE world abounds with individuals
who airily glide from life's responsibilities
upon the slightest pretext. May we be
permitted to suggest to the editors who are
so diverted by the course of Mrs. Editress
Vanneran, that we compare the course of
the average man and woman, as found
along llte's way, and fairly view their char
acteristics. Their behavior along the
matrimonial throughfares is about equal,
each being simple to certain degree, that
we concede, and very likely the Mrs
Vanneran mentioned is not an exception
to the general rule. Then let us ask, who
is it that most bravely bears the response
bilities that circumstances most frequently
place upon humanity? In eight, or at.
least seven cases out of ten we affirm
that it is the woman. Is hers not the
courage that stands most firmly amid re-
verses and misfortune? Is not hers the
highest calmness and the highest resolution
that "sufers the sings and arrows off
outrageous fortune" the heart-ache, and
the thousand natural shocks that flesh is
heir to-" Not only here does she stay
stay her mind in self control, but often does
she bear up above want, maintain and care
for helpless children, doing both mans
and woman's labor, until her careworn face
is pitiful to look at though her true
courageous eyes, tell that the spirit is
unfaltering.
And how goes my lord amid "the sings
and arrows of outrageous fortune?" permit
us respectfully to ask. Does he brayely
battle with misfortune, carrying two-fold
burdens. In some few instances he does,
And when this is, he is like saint, en-
shrined in the hearts of those who love
him, and in the hearts Of those whom his
nobility has benefited. Too often, how
ever, man in all his physical strength is
not strong. Too often grief or reverses
finds him mere weakling, turning torI
