and brought out by Miss Coe, of New
York, charmed all who were interested
n this very important element of prima-
ry education.
Drawing, in all of its unique and COM
plicated methods was ably presented by
Prof Randall, who is genius in his re-
spective branch of teaching. His theory
is that nature is full of unknown things,
the best teacher, and the chart of God,
from whence comes everything beautiful
and grand-therefore copy after her and
follow her in all the details of your work.
Many topics on practical and thorough
education, the mode, manner and i'm
portance of this subject, has been gen.
ally discussed to-day by some Of the best
talent in the Teachers Convention.
The lecture by Prof Henry, of Chapel
Hill, last evening was mastery effort.
It is to be regretted that it cannot be
published in full. He possesses rare
merit, both as delineator and as an ex-
FOUNDER of practical truths.

MONDAY OBSERVATIONS.
Arendell, of the State Chronicle. remark
ed yesterday, in speaking of the lady
teachers: "Women can do everything,
because they rule those who command
everything" He is worthy scribe OF
popular paper. This remark ought to
place him on the retired list.
The Swannanoa is the ULtina Thule of
couples who promenade late in the af-
ternoon. This stream carries away many
secrets on its restless bosom to the quiet
Gul rand from thence into the deep vor-
tex of oblivion.
Some one remarked yesterday, and I
think the lady hailed from the "Me-
tropolis OF the Sky. !" at least it has that
pronounced favor of Wit so characterize
ic of our Asheville ladies as it not pre-
sumption to think Of being wise alone?
None but fool can suppose that he has
a monopoly ofgood sense"
Mr.. Timberlake is winning laurels ev-
cry day as popular proprietor of a pop
ular summer hotel. It is said that he is
to be presented with an artistic laurel

of the Assembly, while four of the most
intellectual are to crown him in regal
style.
The charming grounds of Black Noun
tain Hotel, dressed in verdure ofliving
green, is like panorama of exquisite
beauty when crowded with the beauty
and chiyalry of the old North State.
II is quite the proper caper here, you
know. to take horse back rides before
breakfast. What graceful riders our
teachers are, to be sure-I mean the lady
riders.
Guides to Mount Mitchell are nume-
rous. Several parties have undertaken
the journey with much profit and plea
sure.
The band is gaining in public favor
daily. The strains of martial music be-
gins at breakfast, discourses. lovely airs
at dinner, while at supper Strauss scharm-
ing waItzes puts one in a humor to oenioy
everything both in art and in nature.
From the time when the first note of the
concord Of sweet sounds q Tennysonian
ch 1rd is struck, and the reverberatiug
strains of lovely airs beguile one into the
thoughts and dreams Of fair women.
