GEN. BUELL. breaks his long silence
about the battle ef Shiloh in a paper in
the March Century, giving his views OF
that much discussed battle, and the part
his army had in turning the fortunes OF
the second days fight. The General by
the way dissents from the idea that
Providence takes a hand in a great bat
tie in faver of the just causs-whichev-
er that may be-and says:
Nowhere in history is the profane idea
that in fair 6eld fight, Providence is on
the side of the strongest battaliens,
more uniformly sustained than in our
Civil War. 1t presents no example of
the triumph of $4,000 or even 10000 men
against $4,000. IL affords some such in
stances where the stronger force was
surprised by rapid and unexpected
movements, and still ethers where it
was directed with a want of skill against
chosen positions strengthened by the art
of defense; but nowhere else. The
weaker force is uniformly defeated or
compelled to retire.

The statement often gets into print
that no Senator ever became President
The last time this appeared was in the
New York Tribune, and in an interview W
with Gen. b. F. Butler, who is repre-,
sented as saying: THE rule is that a
member of the Senate rarely develops

the House never" 1t is strange for a
man so well informed as Mr.. 3ntlsr to

he became Chief Magistrate; so were

can class Of pupils gain that confidence
in the teacher necessary to do effective
work, in less time, and the children sufr
fer from this system of constant chang
ing.
So much for the condition; what is the
remedy? 1 believe that township su-
peryisisn would, In q great measure, eer-
rect these evils. The methods Of in
struction could be made uniform
throughout the township; and by week
ly or monthly meetings, with live su-
perintendent at the head. the teachers
could be instructed in the same. and %
snthussd that they would work to bring
their schools up to required standard.
In our city schools. the superintend-
ent soon detects his weak teachers, and
the most Of his time for visiting isspeat
in advising, assisting and encouraging
this class. So in the townships, the SUI
perintendent would know where his
help was most needed; and the inexpsri-
enced teacher, instead Of being left to
his own resources, would be carefully
directed in the work.
The schools could be graded to some
extent and the limits of the months or
terms work be given to each teacher,
thus doing away with the pernicious
habit of rushing through the books.
The constant change of teachers would
be prevented, and each township would
soon have its regular corps Of teachers,
as our cities and villages now have.

AT this period in the history of our
country, there seems to be a general
stringency. and many are in the strin>

there are worse calamities than the sill

IN reference to the present condi-
tion of the rural schools it appears to
me about as follows:
First-There is lack of uniformity
in the methods of instruction. Among
country teachers there is no union of
effort ia this respect, as we have in the
village and city schools. Each is law
unto himself. Many are wide-awake
and progressive, but the mass are not so.
One term, school will be TAUGHT ac>
cording to the best and most approved
methods, and will make an advance; the
next term q change of teachers will
take place and it will be merely KEPT.
and will lose all it had gained. Or, if
the teacher in the first instance be fol+
lowed by another wide-awaks teacher,
his methods will be SO different that p
large part of the term 10 lost in the pu>
pills becoming accustomed to them.
While the teacher should be left, to
large extent, to develop his Individual
ty, yet in county or township there
should be geReral system to which all
teachers would direct their work.
Second-Many Of the teachers are
young aad inexperienced, and have the
will to do well if they only knew how.
Like young workmen, they need the
skill and experience of master work
man to direct them.
Third-And following the above, is
the lack Of judgment on the part of
young, and sometimes old, teachers, as
to the amount Of work to be done in a
given time. In their eagerness to suc>
cesd they get the erroneous idea that
the amount of ground passed over will
bs the measure of their success. Hence,
they rush over the work so rapidly that
the child caHnet comprehend it. A child's
knowledge Of arithmetic is not gauged
in the mart of life by the number of
times he has been through some work
. on that subject.
Fourth-There is a constant change
of teachers. 1t is the exception rather
than the rule for a teacher to teach
more than one or two terms in the same
school.
No teacher can become acquainted
with his pupils and their parents. SO as
to know how to manage them we'll, in
less than term of three months; neither

The etymology Of many Americanisms

THE etymology Of many Americanisms
is impossible to discover. BOSS" is ta-
ken from the Dutch bass" or master,
and is quite legitimate. Boom" some
clever person says, is derived from the
nautical phrase, "to boom out" as ap-
piled to vessel tearing before tie wind;
and the origin of "blizzard" is enveloped
in obscurity, and "bulldoze" has van
quished all the etymologisls in turn.

Timely Interferer ce.

About IL o'clock last night man named
John Brown, accompanied by Maud Whit
ney Brown, went to the house of Lo.tie
WEIGH, on Second street, between K and L,
and announced that they came 10 collect
an old debt due them for room rent. A
dispute ensued. resulting in a fight, during
which the two Browns assaulted the WEIGH
woman, who then produced a pistol, but
was unable to cock it before Brown caught
her by the throat, threw her upon the floor,
put his knee ON her back and was about to
beat her on the head with the butt of the
weapon when James jules, who was pass
ing, hearing her screams and cry of g muir
derl' ran into the house and. protested
against her receiving such treat
ment. Brown presented the pistol at
jules, remarking that perhaps he
wanted some of it," At this iuncture
officer Ferral, who, hearing the woman's
cries, had ran to the scene, seized and dis
armed Brown, who at first was disposed to
resist but sight Of the officers pistol per-
suaded him to the contrary. Ferral then
stepped to the door, holding Brown, and
blew his whistle, to which officers Rider
and Cafferty responded. Meanwhile, the
two women having been left alone, Maud
attacked Lizzie, bat their combat was in
terrupted by Ferral. Brown and the wo-
men were taken to the station-house and a
charge of disturbing the peace entered
against all three. Lizzie Welch had wild
appearance, her hair and clothing having
been torn and disarranged during her
struggles, and her neck bore the imprint of
Browns fingers Maud had a scratch on
her nose, inflicted during her single handed
fight with her opponent.

She Was Not a Cinderella.

A gentleman who spent few weeks in
Yosemite last summer, was expatiating
upon the scenic beauty of that superb val
ley, a few evenings since, when he gave a
graphic description of Glacier point. He
SAID it rose perpendicular from the valley
to hight of 5000 feet. A person can stand
on its verge and gaze into the valley below.
The sight is one of the grandest imaginable.
The tall pines that skirt the MERGED look like
patches of brush, and men and animal look
like insects so great is the distance. On
the verge of the precipice is placed an iron
railing which the spectator may rest against
without fear of falling. A young lady from
San Francisco, more ventursome than the
rest of her party, crawled under the railing,
deliberately sat down upon the edge of the
precipice and let her feet bangle
among the pine tops in the val
ley below. The inhabitants of the valley,
when they beheld her feet, miles away,
imagined that those above were letting
down bales of hay by means of large and
varigated cable. She was beauty from
the wicked city," but never can success
fully lass for Cinderella.
