Congress, their Senators, and o!her
officers. The amount of ignorance
that prevails on this subject among
young people is wonderful.
The various courts md their iuris-
diction should be discussed. The
teacher will explain the difference
between law courts and courts of
equity. He will taIk;;of the Judges
and how they are appointed; how
the Federal judges hold office for
life, while other ihdges do not.
Much will be learned of jurjes and
trials; Of crimes and penalties for
crimes; of jails and the penitenti-
airy.
The subject of taxes will claim
much attention ~ rect and indirect
taxes; county taxes, State taxes,
Federal taxes, school taxes, road
taxes, etc.
Much interest can also be dcvelo-
pea III voting and elections; the
meaning of parties and their princi-
pies. There is enough material here
for one entire exercise. The teacher
will, of course, see that the whole
subject is treated in an impartial
manner and with no sort of party
feeling.
The points have given are only
few hints as to what may be done,
and ought to be done, in this dircc-
ton. AS I have said, there is no
need of textbook The subject
can be taught better without book.
In fact, outside of certain limits, we
have too many textbooks, any way.
One of the main points is to get
boys and girls to think in an indie
pendent manner and take an intelli-
gent stand in the active, moving
world around them.

All About the Census.


[From the Charleston News and Courier, I
The vast army of workers engaged
in the taking of the eleventh census
OF the United States, the thousands
employed in collecting the statistics
which are to he used liz compiling
interesting facts regarding the great
Republic, arc now at work. The
cnumcrators who arc to take the
population will not begin work until
the 18th of June.
Like all, wcIl-rcgulatcd work, the
taking of the census has been sys-
tcmatically divided. Experts are
engaged to take the statistics re-
garding the manufacturing industries,
others will prepare report on the
railroads, and others the mining
figures. These divisions, and there
are probably twenty or more, arc all
under the direction of the Superin-
tcndcnt Of the Census at Washing
ton. One of the most interesting
and valuable features in the next
census will be statements of the
recorded Indebtedness of the United
States. For this feature to be Of
any special value it must be abso
lutcly correct, carefully and intclli-
gently prepared.
MIR. George w. Fishback is charged
with the work in South Carolina.
Mr. Fishback appears to be well
equipped for the difficult work en-
trusted to him. He is very much
interested in his work, and will on
dcavor to do it effectively. Talk
ing of the work he had in charge in
South Carolina, Mr.. Fishback said
yesterday that this particular branch
of the work had been divided among
number of experts. In each State,
under the direction of the chief who
has charge Of this work, number
OF abstractcrs are appointed, who
make record of the Indebtedness
of each county This must be done
within q period of ninety days. Mr..
Fishback expects to have his work
finished in less than cighty-fivc days.
The chief of the State assigns the
abstractcrs from county to county,
furnishes them with supplies and
transmits to them special instruc-
tons regarding the work in the
counties in which they arc at work.
These abstraotofs- there arc four
teen in outh Carolina-arc to 90 to
the Office Of the Clerk of Court or
registrar of mesnc onvcyanccs,
where they arc given access to the
books in the office, and where they
take an accurate abstract Of all mort
cages which have been recorded i'm
the past ten years, starting from the
31st of December, 1880, and going
backwards to January 1, 1880.

Living Beyond Ones Means.
TIE MAIN CAUSE OF FAILURE IN
LlFE-SENSlBLE VIEWS Or
A NEW YORK MAN.

Matthew Marshall in New York Sun. I
The old Dutch merchants used to
say, when a man became bankrupt,
that he had kept bad books. What
they meant was, that he ought to
have known, if his books were kept
correctly, how his aifairs were going,
and to have stopped in time to save
his credit.
What docs surprise me, however,
is that an impending bankruptcy can
be concealed and STAYED off as long
as it usually is. suppose the rca-
son to be, the greater facilities for
borrowing money and for obtaining
credit which arc afforded by tho
present methods of doing business
in comparison with those which pre-
vailed in my early days, and the
enormous growth of our population,
which renders individuals much less
conspicuous than they used to be,
and the condition of their affairs
less matter of notoricty.
When / was clerk with NIcssrs,
Bissell, Littleby & Co., half a cen
tury ago, my employers never
thought Of relying on commercial
agencies, as the custom is now, for
information concerning mans
standing and responsibility. They
got it from their own observation
and inquiry, and carried it in their
heads. They watched a man from
the beginning of his career, and
knew just how he was doing as he
went along. His business skill, the
character of his customers, the ex-
tent of his transactions, and the ap-
proximatc amount of his annual
profits were pretty accurately
gaugcd, and credit was given to him
accordingly. Above all, his habits
of life were observed, and his family
expenses were rcckoned up, 50 that
it was computed whether he was
adding to his capital, barely holding
his own, or falling bchindhand.
Nowadays every one is, as it were,
lost in the crowd and can do almost
anything he plcascs without it's be-
ing found out. His creditors see
him only during business hours and
at his place Of business; but whore
he is the rest of the time, what his
occupations are, and how much he
spends on himself and his family, be-
come known to them, if they become
known at all, only by accident, or
when his accounts are ovcrhaulcd by
committee to see how many cents
on the dollar he can pay on the
claims against him.
1t is clear to me that in the count
less cases Of bankruptcy which hap
pen from day to day, TO say nothing
of the spcculations, cmbczzlcmcnts,
!orgcries and crimes hy which con
fiding people rr9 dcfraudcd, the be-
ginning and root of the trouble lies
in personal ovcrdrawing. AS Mr..
Wilkins Micawbcr sagcly remarked
to his young friend David Copper
field: "Annual income twenty
pounds; annual expenditure twenty
pounds ought and six; result, misery.

DIR. WATsON's RETURN.

His Visit One That Will Prove of
Vast Benefit to San Antonio.
DIR. w. P. Watson, of the New
England Land company, who for the
past seven weeks has been in New
England in the interest of his proper
ty, returned home Sunday last, but
from the Doctors excessive modesty
the newspaper fiends failed to discov-
or the fact. The inevitable occurred,
however, and LIGHT hustler sought
him out and bearded him In his den.
The DR.. was found to represent the
picture of good health and humor,
and although not having fully regain
ed his spirits from his long and ex-
haustiug journey, he welcomed the
LIGHT man in his usual gracious
style and by request. proceeded to
talk about his trip and the bearing it
would have on the future of San An
tonic.
"You little dream of the in terest the
people of New England are taking
in Texas, particularly San Antonio"
said he, "and have had people come
to me for information, whom, six
months before would not listen to
anything that was said about Texas.
My stay was not confined to any one
point in the New England states, but
L have visited every city of prOmi-
hence in them, and in all 1 find q
widespread interest in San Antonio,
and as evidence that this is no idle
interest, have had large capital
laced in my hands by wealthy citi-
zens in New England to invest in this
city. AS a further evidence of this
interest there will be a special train
carrying number of the prominent
capitalists up there, who will be here
in the early fall to see San Antonio for
themselves, and have received other
assurances that there will be q large
influx of capitalists who will be per-
manent investors in the city"
what arrangements have you
made affecting Lakeview, and that
rapii transit liner"
"Oh, we have enlarged the compa-
ny by the accession of some very
heavy men, and have made arrange
ments to boom our property to the
fullest extent. AS to the electric
rapid transit line We have made ar
engagements to commence work on it,
within the next few weeks. This
road will be a first-class electric tram
sit line, and will be seven miles in
length. II will start from Military
plaza, along Zavalla street through
the Lakeview property to and back
by way of Monterey. To sum up, you
can confidently expect boom in our
business next fall, and much result
ant good to San Antonio"
