It is difficult for even the best educated
people to conceive how vast the body OF
learning which has been devoted to matters
not at all In public view. A good instance OF
this is given In the photography Of the lro-
auoian languages by Mr. j. z. Pilling, OF the
nntional bureau Of ethnology. Mr.. Filling

7gJ concern printed books and magazine ar

main designed for the use Of scholars pursu-
ing studies concerning this interesting group
Of Indian languages, the volume has GOOD
deal OF interest 10 the public, for In the de-

gives many bits OF information. The general
reader viii find there an account Of the Cher
okee Indian Sequoyah well worth attention,
forto this ignorant half breed we owe the
most original intellectual feat accomplished
on this continent. Sequoyah was the son OF
a Cherokee mother, his father Il Dutch ped
der named George Gist. He was born IN
ITO and brought up as an Indian.
He neither read nor spoke the English Ian
guage, and all his knowledge OF written and
printed speech only served 70 make him ac-
ouaiuted with the fact that In some way, by
the signs Of letters language could be e4-

his own language could likewise be reduced

he contriyed a sign, and by combining these
SIGNS be created method Of writing. When
he had accomplished this analysis, and found
that about eighty signs could express the
oounds Of his speech, he sat about writing
letters and instituted a correspondence be-
tween his own people and their countrymen

Young Cherokees Travelled 1reat distances u

a written form for speech. All the Other

REVIEW.


New YORK, March 26.-The market
for an hour was quite firm, but the great
weakness in Atchison oyercame the good
feeling, and TO $50 the market had a
sharp fall from the morning rally OF one
per cent. or more in Atchison, Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy, Northwestern,
Missouri Pacific, Lake Shore, Manhattan
and Rock Island 81. Paurs increase of
1856, 900 in net for February had no eff
feet All interest seems TO center 10 the
Western and Southwestern stocks and
the coalers. The latter one affected by
the small demand for coal, and the man
ayers of the former say they are disap-
pointed over current and prospective
business. The result is that on all rallies
there lie pressure to sell, but stocks re-
cover quickly from each depression. In
the last hour the heaviest pressure was
brought 10 bear on the Western stocks.
We do not look for any sharp break nor
any great advance, unless there are i'm
portant developments. Ii is likely to be
a traders market for short turns for some
tine.

HENDERSON, y. C., March 2j.--With
favorable weather for stripping, and
prices to justify selling, our receipts OF
last Thursday and Friday were larger
than they have been for two months,
and we look for good receipts this
week. While prices havo remained
firm on all grades we notice more adj
vance in medium wrappers than on any
other class. And this grade is being
taken more freely by some Western
manufacturers The fine grades have
sold well all Of this season, our specula
tors being the heaviest buyers on these
grades, and their confidence and appre-
citation of real fine wrappers seem TO
grow stronger each week.
With heavy receipts more wrappers
were sold last week than usual in one
week out OF this crop, but still the
per cent. was no greater. Old wrappers
have played out In our breaks, and none
held in stock on this market There i.
the greatest diversity of opinion as to
wi at this crop will weigh out or what
per cent. OF it has already been sold Il
is conce led by all to be a thin and light
crop in pounds.
We regret to say that, it is the case
with US a. well as with other loose mar
kets in North Carolina We have no re-
liable statistics to furnish the trade Bui
why should we regret this state of at

Emotional Prn,icalltY.

Something has been wisely said Of late
about the danger Of overpressurs In our
schools. The time spent in study that ought
to be spent in outdoor play or In exercise In
gvmnasia is worse than wasted But the
overpressure Of intellectual work would not
be so bad were it not for the emotional prodi-
cality Of many children both at home and at
school. Teachers are spurred 70 strain pupils
TO the utmost that they may meet the coming
tests for promotion. The healthy spontane-
Gus emotions that make il the delight of
childhood 70 learn are crushed, and Fictitious
emotions Of fear and dread arc substituted.
At home the emotional excitement Is often
greater than at school Prizes, the expecta-
tons Of parents, piano practice, company
parties, dances, petting and reproofs are the
stimuli, eliminating often in tate hours spent
in preparing half dozen lessons for the next
day. The tasks at school, hard as they are
often are less injurious to children than the
emotional dissipation at home w. II. Burn
