The following, from an exchange,
will apply as well to this section
as any other: Once upon time
certain man got mad at the editor
and stopped his paper. The next
week he sold his corn at four cents
below market price. Then his
property was sold for taxes be-
cause he didn't read the sheriff S
and tax sales. He was arrested
and fined eight dollars for going
hunting on Sunday, simply because
he didn't know it was Sunday. He
then paid a big Irishman TO kick
him all the way to the newspaper
office, where he paid for four years
subscription in advance, and made
the editor sign an agreement to
knock him down and rob him il
he ever ordered his paper stopped
again. Such Is life without q

schools.

we CnanCeQ 70 Step lhOO bhe OAllCo
Of Superintendent Of Education on
Wednesday, and observed quite a
number of colored applicants for
certificates to teach pnblic schools,
some of whom had the appearance
Of moderate intelligence, while 9th
ers bore marks of unmistakable ig-
norance. From this exhibit of
teachers we arrived at the conclu-
sion that the colured teachers Of
Amite county would bear favorable
comparison with the same class of
teachers in any county in the State,
considering theirnumbers, ages and
conditions, but they all come short
of what they should be. We are
favorably impressed with the zeal
of most of the colored teachers, for
zeal they certainly have, whether
according to knowledge or not this
deponent is not prepared to say,
but we do know that the average
attendance at their schools exceeds
that of the white schools of equal
numbers.
In the conduct of the colored
schools that thing called discipline
has not yet been introduced, and
the same may be said of many of
the white schools. The want Of
,and we may say more rigid
discipline in both colored and white
schools, initiates greatly against
their efficiency. This state Of things
can never be corrected until the
patrons of schools come to the help
of teachers. Young America is re-
bellious, and especially so in the
school house, and unless parents
Justify teachers in all reasonable
corrections of their children, the
teachers will be powerless to make
their schools worthy of patronage.
The use of the rod is a necessity,
without which a proper discipline
cannot be maintained. We have
attended schools at intervals our
selves, along In our juvenile days,
and we are forced to admit that the
best results we have ever witnessed,
including ourselves, were found in
those institutions where the disci-
pline was rigid and the rod freely
used. The old Scotch rule of open
ing the school every morning by
reading a chapter in the NewTesta-
ment, making prayer, and then
whipping all the large boys, is
now a little out Of fashion, but
should be revived.
We have known of more then one
instance in this town of the arrest
ofthe teachers of the public schools,
on the charge of assault and battery
upon boys of the larger size, and
this too in each case occurring in
the usual way ofenforcing discipline
in the schools. The teachers, be-
lieving it to be their duty to enforce
obedience to their rules Of order,
inflicted punishment adequate to
the object in view, and for which
they were arrested and tried for an
infraction of the peace laws. This
was a grave mistake on the part ol
the parents of the boys punished,
and for the good of the youth and
children of the county, We hope we
shall hear of no more cases of this
kind. 1t has a demoralizing inhu,
ence on many of the half grown
boys attending the public schools,
discourages the teachers, and gives
great trouble to parents, and some,
times involves them in hoavy ex'
penses in the prosecution of these
i'll advised suits.

How the Standard Silver Dollar
was Dem0netiZed.

was Deln0leJiZeus
J. R. Randall, in his Washington
correspondence Of the Augusta,
Ca, Chronicle, Says
Whether by superior craft or
trickery, it appears from what
purports to be a truthful record
that by the act Of Feb. 12, 1873, the
standard dollar was omitted from
the list of coins. There can
be no question, l think, that there
was about the same time in the
revision of the Statutes ofthe Unit
ed States a surreptitious demone-
tization ofthe silver dollar. Butler
and Poland, of the Committee Of
Revision, rose in their places and
solemnly declared that no law had
been changed. Yet in some mys-
terious and unauthorized, not to
say felonious, way the following
provision was inserted:
"The silver coins of the United
States shall be a legal tender at
their nominal value for any amount
not exceeding IS in any one pay
ment." (Revised Statutes United
States, Sec. 1885,.
1t is charitable to presume that
no member of Congress perpetrated
this outrage, but it has been said
of one Of them that "all corrupt
tracks led to his door, but he was
never at home when anybody
knocked" In his pamphlet on the
silver question, ex-senator w. M.
Stuart on this point says: "The
Revised Statutes of the United
States is a very large volume-a
volume SO large that it was imprac-
ticable to read it in either house Of
Congress. In 1874 this volume
was adopted by Congress and the
reading dispensed with on the as
surance of the commissioners charg-
ed with the duty Of codifying the
laws that they had inserted no new
legislation. The fact that section
35S6-demonetizing silver-was in
the Revised Statutes, was not pub
licly known until a long time after
the adoption of the revision. -
President Grant, nearly two years
after this "trick," was not aware
of it, and Senator Conkling show-
ed, in the debate, that he was
equally in the dark. remember
very well that Senator Thurman, in
set speech, dwelt upon this OBJ
noxious and mysterious juggling,
and challenged denial of his
charges of trickery. 1 was within
a few feet of him at the time, and
my recollection is that no Senator
had the hardihood to accept the
issue. A gentleman who has ex-
amined the whole subject thor
oughly and conscientiously, in
forms me that my statements are
absolutely correct, and that ample
opportunity will be accorded any
one to controvert them. Ihave re-
Cured to the subject simply to de-
fend myself against the intimation
of some friends that / had mistaken
the record.

wherein she must advertise her moral fra
gility in order to be accepted among the
elect. She is pure. not because oppOrtun
ity has been prevented. but because purity
has been her education and her life. She
has drawn her innocence from her mothers
breast, and she will instill it into her
own daughters in their turn. Her own
strength, not the vigilance of her guardians,
is her protector. She is her own best chap
erOne. All men are not scoundrels. rogues
and brutes, and the Western girl who can
not distinguish between the safe man and
the unsafe one is a rare. infrCquent pro-
duct of our savage states. The chaperOne is
an Indictment against the men as we'll as
against the women. We know that a girl
of dignity and Self-reSpect can travel this
continent across. from Eastport to Los
Angeles, without other protection than that
given out of the ready gallantry of every
American gentleman whose loyal
service she may chance to need.
Queerly enough. the further one
comes from the higher civilization
of the Atlantic coast the more ready, the
more courteous, the more painstaking is
the care given to womanhood by the
rougher and coarser men of the West. In
Paris and London, and as far az the gentle
men have been educated up to European
modes in New York and Boston, any
woman alone on the street after certain
hours of the day is fair game for insult. In
st. Louis, in New Orleans, in Denver, or
San Francisco, it needs a great deal more
grit than one could find among all the little
dudes put together in Manhattan to inter-
fere with girl who does not invite or sane
ton the interference. Perhaps more
significant exposition of the inherent differ

fairer English sisters, are by no means deli

All European girls are carefully watched.
They are not allowed to go to any place
alone, and travelling over Europe without
chaperone, as some American girls do,
would almost lose them their reputation.
They are often taught that little girls
should be seen and not heard. and they
have not in general the confidence in them
selves that an American girl has. The En-
gliSh girl or the German girl makes good
houSekeeper and devoted wife if she is
well mated. The French girl makes bus
mess partner as well; though her standing
as true wife, if the modern French model
is any index. is often uncertain. She makes
a loving mother. too, and in few countries
will you see that love of children and par
ents more pronounced and open than in
France.
| don't think any woman in the world,
however, can make better wife than the
American. She makes a good mother, an
excellent housewife, and in most cases a
business partner equal to the French
woman. Take the American girl all
around she is the best product of her sex
that the world has yet produced, and at a
woman's show composed of exhibits of all
nations she would take the grand prize and
be easily Judged first over all competitors.
