School Examinations.

1t can not be too often insisted on
that examination is good educational
servant, but bad master. 1t is USE
full instrument in the hand of a teacher
to test his own work and to know how
far his pupils have followed and prof
tied by his teaching. But it necessa-
rily eXerts a fatal influence whenever
it is made of such Importance that
teachers simply conform to an external
standard, lose faith in themselves, sink
into the position of their own text
books and give but little of their own
personality to their work. 1t is true
that it is necessary to test the work of
teachers; but it is not necessary, for
the purpose of doing so, to take the
whole soul out of teaching. If exam
nations are to be defended on the
ground that they test the efficiency of
teachers, then we reply that other and
better ways of doing this are to be
found and must be found. We admit
quite frankly that they can only be
found and pursued at the price of some
trouble aud experiment on the part
both of parents and those responsible
for the conduct OF teaching; but if
trouble and thought and experiment
are to be spared in this great matter,
we had better at once resign the hope
of attaining any moral and intellectual
results of real value from what we are
doing.-Populdr Science Monthly.

Railroads and "Trusts.v

Mr., Adams states what has been
long obvious-that the railroads of the
country are tending toward some vast
system of consolidation. They have
already felt the tendency toward the
trust which characterizes all great
commercial enterprises at this time.
He does not dread it, because he thinks
it may be wisely regulated in the gen.
eral interest. What he does apprehend
is premature adoption of some such
scheme, for which the situation is not
yet ripe He would, therefore, gladly
see an amendment of the pooling and
long and short-haul clauses of the inter-
state act, because they can never be
made effective until the railroads co
operate with the act, and they can not
cooperate until they are united in one
responsible organization to enforce its
provisions. But Mr.. Adams sugges-
tons are inadequate for the evil.
A responsible organization of men
who conduct business upon principles
subversve of civilization would merely
strengthen their malign power. 1t
would be extraordinary legislation
which should practically authorize such
illNh w NOlhDlhO Gum IuOIC NlOcSlN lOl
the mastery of the entire railroad sys-
TEN of the country That would
constitute power which might defy
the government itself or illicitly control
it. The vast aggregations of capital
and business known as trusts may
be due to resistess tendencies of the
time which are constantly manifesting
themselves But such tendencies
always bring with them special perils.
Another tendency of the time quite as
obvious as that toward trusts is that of
money control of politics. Under the
fine talk of protection of American
labor the tendency is plainly to legislate
by moneyed interests for their own
benefit. The characteristics of the
present management of the railroad
system, as described by Mr.. Adams, are
precisely those which should be dis.
trusted. Greater power should not be
given to covetousness, want of good
faith, low moral tone and a debased
standard of commercial honor.-Harp

Literary Notes.

Mrs. FooTE, who is the wife of civil en-
gineer, has spent most of her married life
in the mining camps of the West. Her
reputation before the public was first made
as an artist, and it is interesting to know
that she is now almost the only CentltrU ar
fist who draws directly upon the wood
block. Twenty years ago the design for
every wood engraving was drawn directly
upon the wood by the hand of a draughts-
man. To-day the artist makes his picture
upon anything he pleases, and in any size,
and the camera transfers it to the wood
block. Mrs. Foote still makes her original
pictures in just the size they are to appear,
and generally upon the wood, but the art
department of The Century always transfers
the drawing by photography to another
wood block, so as to preserve the original
AN AMERICAN NEwsPAPER..-Th New
York Mail and EEpresS, the favorite Ameri-
can newspaper OF many people Of intelligent
and cultivated tastes, has recently made
some noteworthy improvements, materially
increasing its general excellence. 1t is one
OF the clean, fair, tolerant, and yet strong,
journals of this country, which has won a
wide constituency for itself, made up of the
best people, 1t has high notions in jour.
nalism and lives up to them. In all ques-
tons of government it is always with the
moral and progressive elements. In, ed
itorial and in literary matters il is an
American authority. 1t has place of its
own among American papers for felicitous
sketches of everyday life and matters of
current interest. Its writers excel in de-
scriptve writing and in true and graceful
portraiture of the better things in the social
side of life A reader can hardly pick up
paper of the better class in the United
States without finding an article quoted
from the Mail and Express. In its editorial
conduct it is pure and always of a high
tone. 1t is sturdily republican and strong
friend of American labor. It's influence is
always for the better side, and temperance
people know it as one of the strongest, most
influential newspapers on the side of prac-
tical temperance reform. 1t is one of the
very best news and home papers. Sample

one of our readers to send for one.

and other universities must have the
same. Princeton will have to pro-
duce a counter-irritant to John Ward /,
Preacher, and defend Charles Hodge
(who has been attacked) and rigid
Calvinism. Harvard will have to re-
gain the literary reputation which it
had an age ago, and employ one of the
bodies of its annex to put life into-not
Unitarianism, which is dead and laid
out for decent burial, but into the
agn osticism of its young men. Yale
must stand by the old faith against
Harvard, but will vivify the scenes by
gymnastics in order to retain the cham
pionship. The end will be that our
novel-readers of weak women and still
weaker men will not know what to
believe.-Ne,o York Ledger.

THE SOUTH FORGING AHEAD.
From the Irish World.


In no department Of industry
have the Southern States given
such practical evidence of rapid
development as in the production
OF pigiron, an industry which is
recognized as one of the great
barometers OF national business
prosperity. During the year 1855
the production of pig-iron IN the
nine States of Alabama, Tennessee,
Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky
Georgia. Maryland, Texas, and
North Carolina was greater than
that of the whole United States
during the year succeeding the late
war. During the past two years
the increase has been nearly nifty
per cent, and it is now nearly TWEEN.
ty per cent of the production OF
the whole United States.
Still it cannot be claimed that
there IS anything like the progress
made in the North, where similar
mining and smelling facilities exist
for the State of Ohio alone pro
duced nearly as much plglron last
year as the entire South. There
is, however, much reason to believe
that Alabama, Virginia, and Ten
nessee, will soon take their places
among the great lron-produclng
States OF the Union. The manu-
featuring spirit is steadily gaining
the ascendency over the old sys-
TEN, which confined the industry
OF that region to agriculture and
unskilled labor. With that ascen-
dency come naturally the develop
ment of varied resources by skilled
labor, higher plane OF Industrial
civilization and corresponding
growth of the National idea OF
Protection to American industry.
The breaking Of the "Solld
South" will be effected not by pollt-
ical conventions nor party STRIFE
but will be the natural result oil
improved industrial conditions
uaran,eed by an Administration
pledged to the encouragement OF
diversified industry, and the
proofs which those conditions Will
afford of The advantages of the
American policy.

Blood That Cries TO Heaven
HORRIBLE WHOLESALE MURDE

HORRIBLE WHOLESALE MURDER.
CHARLOTTE, y. c., Feb. ID
News is received here tonight of a
terrible crime in BERTHE county, last
Wednesday night. In small cot
tage near Mount Oliver resides a
white woman, Mrs. Annie Faucet,
with her husband. They had only
one child which was one year old.
Neer them, only a few steps dis
tant, was a cabin in which lived
two negro women. Faucett was
farmer, and 1t is said the day be-
fore he had been quarreling with
some neighbors with whom he
never did get along well. Wednes
day night he was away on business
and some unknown party after
numbering his wife and child, and
two negro women, fired both
houses and burned them to the
ground. The charred bones of all
were yesterday found among the
ashes, and in the yard was
bloody axe and also an apron
sprlnkled with blood which showed
plainly that the inmates had first
been brutally murdered and the
houses then ured.
There is much excitement in the
county and although, there not be-
ing sufficient evidence, nobody has
been arrested, strong suspicion
Overshadows the parties who 1t is
thought committed the crime.

one after another, leaving the walls
and the four upper floors and the

tile flooring was defective, or was
damaged by the natural settling OF
the building. Without the slight

Bad Cyclone in Georgia.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Feb. 10
The lower end of Shelby was swept
by a terrible cyclone yesterday
morning. The scene of the disas'
ter was remote from the railroads
and only meagre reports have
been received. 1t is known, how
ever, that many houses were blown
down, a number Of people killed
aud many Injured. Tue loss OF
property will be very great. The
cyclone travelled in a nOrtheasterly
direction. II was only one hun
bred yards in width, but its course
was twenty miles or more IN length
and through the thicSly-populated
settled portion OF the country.
The people were in their beds, and
had very little chance to escape
from their houses. The most reIi.
able reports received here state
that from thirty to forty houses
were blown down, five or six per-
SOUS killed and about thirty injured
some of them severely. Many cat-
tie and horses we're killed OF

STRANGE CONDOLENCES,
THE FATALITY OF THE FIDELITY
BAND FAILURE.


II would seems as though kind
of grim fate hung over everybody
connected in any way with the I'M
fortunate Fidelity bank of Cincin-
natl, either with It's failure a couple
of years ago or the subsequent pro-
ceedings affecting it. 1t was some
thing like what has been called
"Guireau's curse,D that is supposed
by some to impend over the pee
sonages participating in the trial
or the Presidents assassin, though
in the case of the Fidelity bank no
one appears to have strewn any
curses around promiscuously. In
the first place, Benjamin f. Hop
klns, the president of the bank,
who was sentenced to seven years
imprisonment and recently par
doned, died a few days after his
release. Z. I. Harper, the vice
president, was given a ten years
sentence and went insane. Amzi
Baldwin, the cashier, committed
suicide during the trial. Edward
Hicks, a clerk in the bank, died
shortly after the trial. G. A.
IIinch, another clerk, broke his leg
during TIE trial. James Siefert,
the bank janltor, who carried the
books of the institution to and
from the court house each day dur.
ing the trial, ran directly in front
of a moving locomotive one day
and was badly hurt. Joseph Har'
rison, the office boy of the bank,
was accidentally shot in the eye
during the trial. The mother OF D..
K. Vowel, a clerk, died during the
trial. g. r. Ewes, the secret SER
vice officer who did considerable
work in the conviction Of the bank
officers, has died since the trial.
Edvin Watson, a lawyer sent out
by the Attorney General to take
part IN the proceedings, died
IN bis hotel in Cincinnati during the
trial. The father of United States
District Attorney Burnett died the
night after the trial, as did also the
wife of F. n. Hays, the bank ex-
pert. The wife of Z. W. Kittridge,
counsel for the bank receivers, died
during the trial, and the wife OF
Judge Sage, who presided, was
taken so seriously i'll during the
proceedings that the trial had to
be postponed ten days. JOSIE
Holmes, who figured consciously
in the bank affairs, was let OIL with
out sen tence, and is now learning
to be a typewriter.
