clusion of an interview in which the
Secretary had been very offensive, "I1l

to the President. and informed him that
the Marshal had threatened to murder
him. SWELL, Stanton" said Lincoln.

There were two Dromios in the
Forty-sixth Congress, two Turner'S
from the State of Kentucky. Oscar
was large, portly, even-tempered,
good humored, mild-mannered gentle
man, while Thomas Turner was spare
and straight, and active as q cat, al
though nearly sixty years old. His
temper often got the better of him,
however, and he had way of rising ON
his toes and shaking his fist In debate
which was irresistibly comical, and put
the house in a roar of laughter. Wash
ington dispatches contained accounts
of his actions and language in debate
grossly exaggerated. These were re-
published in Kentucky, and caused
Oscar Turner great annoyance, as the
dispatches referred simply to Turner
of Kentucky. So he gave notice to
the country that he was not the Turner
referred to. thomas Turner seemed to
know what was coming, and pulled
large roll of manuscript from his
pocket, which he read, throwing the
House into roars of laughter by his
denunciations of the lying reporter,
though he qualifed by saying that the
majority of correspondents were truth
full gentlemen. Referring to the report
that he was drunk when replying to
Mckinley, he said that he had not
taken drink in three days previous to
the occasion mentioned.

THE COUNTRY SCHOOL TEACHER.
What do you propose doing toward
securing a good teacher for your school
this winter? Make an effort this year
to improve the school. Find out what
teachers can be secured before you go
to the school meeting. Talk things
over with your neighbors, and see what
they want. Put some good business
man on the school board, and support
him heartily in all needed reforms.
Make the grounds attractive and the
house comfortable, even if it does cost
q little to do it. Visit the school as
often as you can. Tell your children
to mind the teacher, and never encour-
age them in rebellion. If you think
the school is unfit for them to attend,
take them out of it, and do not send
them there to carry on an authorized
insubordination. Watch the teacher,
and still be reasonable with him. If
your boy does not learn as rapidly as
he should, see if some of the fault is
not in the boy. If you neglect the
school, you neglect your duty as citi-
