ORNAMENTAL TEACHING.

AT time when duties are being
resumed at the various educational
establishments throughout the King
dom, it occurs to us that word in
season may with advantage be
uttered. And in giving it publicity
we wish it to be distinctly under
stood that we are in no way reflect
ing upon the efficiency of those en-
gagged in the great work of training
the minds of the rising generation.
If reflection it be, it is rather upon
the public, whose servants they are,
than upon them. We refer to the
tendency which exists in many
schools in the present day to devote
an undue amount of time and atten-
ton to the cultivation of those ac-
accomplishments which may be de-
scribed as ornamental rather than
useful, to the exclusion or partial
neglect of such more solid branches
of study as form the basis of sound
education, whereon may be built
the special training which shall fit
the pupil for the sphere he is to fill
in after life. Prior to the schools
breaking up for the vacation just
closed, in some of their number eX-
hibitions were made with pardonable
pride of the attaiRments in certain
branches of study, which the pupils
had acquired, whilst parents and
others assembled in force to witness
the same. We have no word to say
against this system of school exhi-
bitiOnS-that is. in the abstract: for
does it not engender in the scholars
healthful spirit of emulation
Nevertheless, we cannot lose sight
of the fact that it is open to grave
abuse, and one which it lies in the
power of the public TO ameliorate.
1t is customary on such occasions to
expect something entertaining; in
fact, at times the affair partakes
solely of the nature of an entertain
ment, in which singing and recita
tions form the preponderating ele
ment. These the general publ,
are wont to applaud and make mucl
of, and that they are good in them
selves we not deny. But what w
contend is that they frequentl
occupy in the public mind too COZ
spicuous place in the curriculum
in their relation to other subjects @
more vital and fundamental impor,
ance. The three Rs and othe
branches of primary education ar
less attractive; hence it is tla
visitors to a school will often pa
but little heed to these. As nece,
sary consequence, teachers then
selves, though they may discern IL
error in public opinion, feel boun
in measure to go with the tide,
order to satisfy those for whom the
are catering. So far as the form
are concerned, the subject matt
of this article would doubtless
superfluous, but with large sectit
of the public it is otherwise. Let
be borne in mind that one of Il
main functions of the schOolmast
is to develop in his pupils Il
faculty of thinking-in other word
common sense and that comm
ting to memory, IL thing importar
though subsidiary, is not that mo
calculated TO promote this.

Disastrous Results in the Vicinity Oh
Reading, Pa.

READING, PA, August 14.-Kepor'S
coming in from the country districts To-
day shrw that last nights cloud burst ana
storm was unprecedented. Many thou
sand bushels of unripe fruit are now lying
on the ground. The streets OF HAM
burg presented the appearance OF
rivers. Hundreds of cellars were flooded
wagons and agricultural implements were
washed from farm yards into the Schulklh
and carried away. The West Hamburg
rolling mill and the Tobias brick
yard were washed out by the
stream, compelling the employees TO
flee for their lives. The embankment
along the Reading railroad was washed
away, leaving the roads and sills hang.
ing in the air. Corn fields were washed
away, leaving not vestige OF the
crops, and tobacco fields were riddled
The fruit crops are a total loss. Three
barns valued Mt $1,000 were struck by
lighting and destroyed together with
several animals and the roofs Of three
churches in the westean section of Berks
county were partially blown of.

STEUBENVILLE, o., August l4.-Our
base ball boys are not earning Us many
laurcls Us they did in the first part of the
season. The first break in their run of
good luck was ut GAINESVILLE, and since then
they have suffered defeat several times ut
the hands of clubs they had formerly de-
fcatcd with apparent ease. The result Of
the game ut Wheeling on Wednesday with
the Regulars was 4 great surprise
to many of the clubs admir-
crs in this city. Instead of the
score standing 7 to 3 in favor of the Regu-
lars, nearly ever one confidently expected
it to he the other way. In the game with
the Mctropolitans of New York on Friday
the boys allowed themselves to get ratified
i'm the start because the Nets WAS Il probes
sional nine Now, the Nets may be aprO-
icsSional nine, but it is the last on the list,
and very little better, if any, than the
XaneSvillcS, StcubcnvillcS, Wheeling or
other similar clubs that have been playing
in this vicinity this season, and if the boys
had kept themselves well together, IN
stead of allowing the New Workers to in
dulgc in general picnic ut their expense,
they would have made them play to win
the !clmc. Ifthc writer may be allowed
To remark he would also suggest to the
management that entirely too many
changes are made in the nine. There is u
homely old phrase which says TOO many
cooks spoil the BROTH and by the same
token too many players will spoil base
ball club.
The Democratic Congressional Convcn-
ton for the Seventeenth district met i'll

man of ability, fine lawyer and an clo-
uucnt speaker. He is also very popular,
and if the Republican majority in the dis

Last Wednesday night Grand Chancel-

the Order, Knights of Pythias in this city,
went down to Bridgeport to assist in con-
ferring several ranks on candidates. On
their way home the boys were loud in
their praise of the hospitality they recelv-
cd ut the hands of the Bridgeport Knights,
and some of them who went over to
Wheeling say that the Knights of that
city laid themselves out in their entertain
ment The Knights here hope soon to
have return visit from their brethren
down the river, 50 that they can testify
their appreciation in a more substantial
manner.

FAIRCHILD'S POLICY.

lie Will he Guided by the State Of Finances.
No Trouble With Jordan.
WASHINGTON, August l4.-.Acting Sec
rotary Fairchild said to-day that no policy
has been determined by the department
with regard to future calls for bonds. The
call for $4,000, 600, which will mature
September 18th, was made because it was
deemed wise and eXpedient. Future calls
will be determined solely by the state of
finances. While it is probable that
a second call for Sl0,OO0,000 bonds
NAV be made next month; such action will
depend entirely upon the condition of the
Treasury at the time. Secretary Fair
child's views in regard to the public debt
are embodied in the following statement
made by him before the Senate Finance
Committee, when the surplus resolution
was under consideration: The Secretary
of the Treasury is fully in accord
with this resolution, so far rs
it is declaration in favor
of applying the surplus remains Ofthe Gov
eminent to the extinction of the interest
bearing debt in such amounts and at such
times as this may be prudently and bene-
ficially done"
Mr.. Fairchild denied in most positive
terms the published statement that he and
Treasurer jordan were at variance on the
subject of bond calls, and said that the
cali was made after a conference with Jor-
dan and with his entire concurrence.

Killed and Several Injured.
WOOD HAVEN, LONG ISLAND, n. Y,
August IA collision occurred early
this morning at the Atlantic division OF
the Long Island railroad, in the village, in
which one life was lost and several men
severely injured. The locomotive of a
freight train had been detached and run on
siding in the yard of the Lalance
& Grosjean Manufacturing Company
for the purpose of hauling out twoSempty
fat cars. Conductor Geo. Nixon, of the
the freight train, had opened the switch
and neglected to close it, so that when n
wild cat construction train came thunder
ing along at the rate of twenty miles an
hour it ran through the open switch, col
hding with the locomotive standing on the
side track and driving it and two cars some
300 feet up the yard and smashing the cars
against the walls of one of the buildings
George Hartford, the brakeman of the
freight train, who was coupling cars to the
engine, was crushed to death, his body be
ing horribly mangled. Engineer Will
shusen and Fireman Seward, of the freight
locomotive, had narrow escapes from death,
both receiving serious injuries.
