were not more than forty present from

who attended were from Tyler county
and Texas, Ohio. The Court House was
not full and many Democrats were seen

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 1.-THE managers
of the Republican campaign in Indiana,
in accordance with determination cx-
pressed early in the canvass, have per-
sistently refused TO make exact estimates
of the result OF the election for puhlca-
tion, but Mr.. Blaine, who is confident
that there can be no mistake about the
indications, is unhesitatingly giving cx-

the minds OF those who are on the in

BELToN, W. Va, Oct, l2.-After two
weeks advertising and drumming up o.
the faithful, the meeting Of the Demo
cracy here to-day was the fiattest failure
OF the campaign. The elements, as well
as the position Of the party, in a wool
growing community, was against the
blow out.
Prof. Roemer, Of the Lins}y Institute,
came out to make the speech OF the day,
but the voters came not. At2 o'clock
the Republican coiored drum corps con-
sented TO relieve the funetal.like gloom
that was settling down over the Hon.
John i. OIcClary, candidate for House
of Delegates, Aaron N. Spears, the great
W. L. Wilson. boomer, and Postmaster
Thomas Campbell.
They, with eleven other Democratic
voters, marched to the school house
where Prof. Roemer spoke from the
Democratic text books, not remembering
that they are not as reliable rs his Latin
and Greek text books. There is where
the professor slipped up several times,
and once OF twice, when readin. from
McCulloch, Sherman and Blaine on the
tariff revision, quoted little too far aud
would then stop and say: "But ! will
not read that, so that any one could see
that garbled statements are read out for
the entire position Of these men on that
subject.
He tried to show the wool men that
under the Mills Free Trade bill their
wool would be higher than under the
present tariff, aud named hides to illu-
strate it, saying that hides are on the
free list and are higher to-day than any
time since 1872, when the fact is that
they have been and are lower this year
than any time for twenty-five years.
The Professor is an able young man,
and can translate Latin and Greek
much more satisfactorily than he can eS-
pound political economy. One more
such demonstration :and Marshall will
go unanimous for Harrison and Morton.
The Republicans have meeting here
on October 24th, at night, and will show
up a big crowd to meet j. l.. Parkinson
and Hon. Josiah Sinclair. There will
be nearly as many go from here TO take
part in your great parade Monday night
as followed Aaron and Roemer to the

wants this luxurious expenditure
stopped. The State Committee thinks
the National Committee has no business
interfering with its expenses while they
run a whole house themselves n few
doors from Fifth avenue and have big
hotel bills for themselves and occasional
visitors. The State Committee insists
that the National Committee should turn
over to the State Committee Mt least all
the money they collect in New York,
and from New York men. The National
Committee wants to hold the purse
strings itself, and define the duties and

GRAFTON, w. Va. Oct, 1.-THE Re-
publican convention which convened
here yesterday was the most largely at
tended OF any similar convention held
here for years. Although each OF the
candidates used his most earnest endRDv-
or to secure the nomination for himself,
yet, when the conventions choice was
made known there was n hearty acqui-
escence in the result by the defeated
candidates, which augurs well for the
success OF the ticket.
The following ticket was nominated: :
For sheriff, Samuel Gramm; for Prose.

TRAINING THE MEMORY.

A Number ef Valuable Suggestions for
Teachers and Parents.
Every child should be taught the art
of mastering any thing. The first step
in the process is to learn every thing
perfectly, and never to scamp les
su.. Be it short or long, be it spelling,
arithmetic, grammar. or geometry.
the lesson should be learned. as the
school-boys say. ''up the middle and
down the sides, inside and out" SO
that the recitation shall be perfect.
Mr.. c. G. Leland. in his work on
practical Education" says that this
thoroughness in acquiring lesson
should be insisted on at the begin
ming of q child's educational career.
He thinks that no regard should at
first be paid to the acquisition of mere
knowledge. The object which the
teacher ought to keep in mind is
simply the development Of the child s
memory, the latent power of which
may be developed to marvellous de-
gree. Before the invention of printing.
there were in every country in Europe
thousands of men who had memories
that at the present day would be con-
sidered miraculous. In ancient India
stupendous works. such as that ''tbree-
Observation-Disclosures lyric" the
Mahabarata. were kept in existence by
memory alone.
IL have been intimate with learned
Chinese" writes Mr.. Leland. who
had passed the great examination Of
Pekin, and am confident that. though
quite a young man. his memory con-
tanned ten times as much as any Euro
pean ever met There are Jews iv-
ing who can repeat by heart from any
given word the whole Of the Talmud,
which is almost a library in ITSELF"
Among the highlands of Scotland
q few old people may be found who
can repeat thousands Of verses Of
Gaelic poetry. The early Scandinavian
bards preserved by their memories

have been our staff; we have made it
a crutch. and used it till We can not
walk without it."
MIR. Leland would have a ohild's
memory developed by giving 1t very
easy lessons in pure. simple English,
such as proverbs and texts of Scrip
ture. No effort should be made to ex-
plain the text. but the child should
learn it ''parrot-like."
One-half Of every lesson. after the
first one. should consist of reviewing
the previous lesson. The lesson for
the day should be learned perfectly.
When the child can recite at will sew

accuracy. the teacher may give, with

When the pupil can repeat many prov
cribs and sentences. and can grasp
and retain phrases given verbally. a
new power will be manifested. which
will show itself wax to receive and

pupil must be taught to use the will;
