CORPUS CHRISTI.
A Visit to the City by the Sea Over the S.

Last Saturday a representative of the LIGHT
went on a trip, combining business with pleas

soon on its way and sped with lightning sDepd
by the tiOurishing towns of tlOresville and

somewhat after dark at point
end of the track and Immediately within
but 10 or ~ feet to where the eternal sad sea
waves wash the shore. Here a Mr.. AldIich
from Nova Scotia, with wife aud children had
seemingly lost themselves. Jet in the crude
tent erected by "pater famllias, they seemed
IN be happy and served oysters and coffee to
way faring travellers. The slOop Rescue soon
took the travellers aboard, aid with barely the
least sign Of a breeze. we gradually neared
Col us Christi, which city we finally reached
alter more than two hours floating" Mic
soon made us forget all disagreeable Oc-
currencGs of the day and Morpheus took
possession. Corpus Christi Is situated where
the Nueces river, in the shape of ITS here
brOadened bay, empties its waters into Corpus
Christi bay. and at the dividing line OF which,
on a reef, the trestle for the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass railway is being built. Its loca-
ton, at least half Of the population and build
ings are situated on the low shell shore, onlya
few feet above high water mark, while the re-
maiuder-its churches and finest residences:
among the latter OF which is that of Captain
N. Kennedy. the most grand and elaborate
edifices,a situated on a high blum which runs
great distance along the coast The railway
depot is being built in the immediate
neighborhood of the courthouse which is a
good location. The harbor is safe one for
vessels OF from ten to twelve feet draught.
Several fine wharves are In existence, at the
best and strongest one of which the Morgan
steamer, Arkansas, makes her weekly landings
The city has many points of interest which

be of easier access.
The return trip is not so easily made as the
boat carries over passengers in the afternoon
who. upon arrival of the evening train at the
"end of the track" make the best they
can in providing comfort for the coming
night. However, In our case a gentleman with

time, and then either rolled up in old sails by
the sad sea waves or in the passenger
coaches standing on the track, each one
sought sleep. The next day brought us with

went to the house of Mrs. Loot, on MatagOrda

was friend of MIR. OppenheimCr had left his
valise in bis care, but would get il and fetch

night all the doors of the rooms were mysteri-

neck lace an heirloom in the Loot family for
80 years, was taken. besides several other

his sixth year, and it was my intention
to take him out of the kindergarten at
the expiration of one year and place
him in the lowest class in the public
schools. But, upon the promise of the
kindergarten teacher to procure an as
sistant, and put him through the same
course of instruction that prevailed in
the public schools, consented to leave
the little fellow in the kindergarten
through the second year. When the
third year arrived, / sent him to take
his place in the second years grade in
the public schools, with many misgiv-
ings whether he could keep his place
and with regrets that he had not found
his place by entering the lowest grade
the year before, according to my first
plan. He had five little companions,
similarly educated in the kindergarten
and transplanted at the same time into
the public schools. Within few days
the fact leaked out that all these six
children were remarkably proficient in
the studies of their new class, and, in
deed, it was seriously proposed to pro-
mote some of them at once to the third
years grade in the schools. 1t should
be recorded that they were not prefer
naturally bright children, and that their
teacher was at that time only novice,
though she has since shown that she
had the essential gifts of a teacher by
her work in the public schools. BY
what amount of study was this result
brought about? This little group of
six children only attended the kinder
garten for three hours of the ordinary
morning session. Part of that three
hours was taken up with the safe stow
ing of lunch and with a run out-of-
doors in favorable weather. The sing
ing, marching and strict kindergarten
work occupied so much of the remain
der of the morning that these little pu-
pills of the advanced class only attended
to their reading, writing, spelling and
arithmetic for forty minutes each day.
They were at that time competing, as
you will remember, with children in
the public schools, who (poor little
soulsD were compelled to attend school
more than four hours each day These
latter sufferers addressed themselves
strictly to academic work from the
start, without any kindergarten non
sense; and yet, in the years race, the
children who worked four hours a day
under the tuition of an experienced
teacher were fairly beaten by the chill
dren who worked forty minutes a day
under the tuition of an inexperienced
eacher.-Americdn Teacher.
