should not be partizan politicians. The
teacher has a higher and nobler work
to perform than to deal with political
treachery. He is to inculcate those
eternal, immutable principles of right
and wrong. He is to instill into the
minds of others that truth and honesty
are jewels of priceless value. In my
few remarks upon this subject l have
simply tried to uphold aud defend the
teacher in his rights; rights and privi-
leges that properly belong to him; rights
in common with all other citizens.
1t seem to me that the teachers bur.
den is heavy enough Without having the
dearest and most sacred of all his rights
questioned. The labors of all other
professional people are appreciated. A
lawyer, for instance. gains very diff
cult case, he receives the highest COM
mendation from the public. The doctor
is highly commended for his labors, but
how about the teachers work? He
takes charge of school and works ar
duously at his task, and when his term
is closed he bids his pupils kind adieu
and takes his departure. Nobody says
anything about his work, whether it be
good or bad; unless it be the parent of
some large. unruly pupil, whom the
teacher had to thresh into submission,
who will in all probability say the
| teacher was no account.
Yes, he has probably taught a good
| school, but nobody is aware of the fact
but himself; and believe this very one
thing has driven many a good teacher
| from the profession. The teacher is de-
serving all the praise due him. 1 would
say in conclusion, let the teachers
everywhere be active, industrious work
ers in the field of politics; and may they
be the means of elevating it to higher
standard of perfection, and instead of
politics being called a disease as it is
today. may it properly be classed with
the sciences.

TERRE BONNE'S SALAMANCA.

Wonderful Snake Charming By an Old
Negro voodo0 Woman In Louisiana
An aged negress Of great repute as q
''voodoo," or witch doctress, among the
negroes of this section, writes a CORE
spondent from Terre Bonnie, La, &C
cording to the Chicago Times, is attract
ing much attention, not only from
those of her own color, but from the
more intelligent portion of the COM
munity, and the way in which she does
this is to apparently swallow g num-
Der Of small snakes Of variety un-
known in this section. They are Of q
dusky color, nearly black, pied with a
dull green about the fat head, and of q
dirty white in the belly. These rep
tiles remain secreted about old Nance's
cabin until she gives a peculiar whis-
thing call, when they will come to her,
wriggling in great haste over the floor,
up her dress, and run into her open
mouth, kissing hideously. They disap-
pear and remain hidden sometimes for
minutes. She asserts that they are con-
cealed in her stomach until she recalls
them. when they will come pouring out
TO writhe about her scraggy neck and
coil in her bosom.
Where the snakes really 60 when
they vanish in her mouth is q mystery
and has puzzled all the physicians
about, many having come from New
Orleans to witness the phenomenon.
Some really believe that the snakes do
go down into the stomach, while others
are convinced the witch is simply play
ing some sleight-of-hand trick on them,
but if the latter is the case it is so clev-
erly done that there is no detecting the
performance.
The witch presents a most extraordi-
nary and hideous appearance sitting
with the snakes darting their fat heads
in and out of her toothless mouth, with
their little bead-ike eyes swapping as if
in fury all about their mistress. As
nearly as they can be counted there
are six or seven Of these reptiles,
though old Nance says there are many
more, but they are all SO much of a size
and color that they cannot be identified.
They are probably of harmless
nature, though old Nance declares they
are highly poisonous and no one wish
es to experiment with them.

DIsORDERLY HOUSE RAIDED.

During the past few weeks the tenants of
the fat No. 276 Monmouth street have made
much complaint against Mrs. Elizabeth Van
Buskirk who conducted a ~disorderly joint on
the ground floor. Last night Policeman
Cannon and Kelly raided the place, and
found a shocking state of affairs. Mrs. Van
Buskirkis rooms were crowded with boys and
women, and when the policemen popped in
on the scene a scramble for doors and
windows was made. In this way many es-
capped. The following persons were ar
rested;--MIs. Elizabeth Van Buskirk, thirty
two years old: John Jones, twenty years old,
of No. IS Paterson Plank Road; Charles
Weston, nineteen years old, of No. 215
Ogden avenue; james M~cCudden, twenty-one
years old, of No. pa Monmouth street; Bird
Allen, twenty years old, of No. 236 Ogden
avenue, and Harry Cleveland, twenty-one
years old, No. 276 Monmouth street. Mrs.
Van Buskirk had her three children, two
girls and one boy, eleven, nine n seven
years old respectively, with her, and they
were turned over to Poormaster Hewitt.
Mrs. Van Buskirk was held to await the
action of the Grand Jury by Justice O'Don-
nell this morning. The other prisoners were
fined S. or thirty days.
