THE STUDY OF ENGLISH.

Few subjects arc so profitable a schoo
exercise as the study Of English, because i
involves oil the other studies, and best O
all, 1t develops mental power. English
should be studied in speech, in writing, and
IN literature. Any good book is literature
In sense the writing to be studied is what
the pupil do themselves their own writing:
the speech to be studied is what the pupi
! says, and every pupil shonll BE induced Ia
| talk great deal and to talk we'll.
This study cannot be relegated to any one
grade Of echool it must be made prominent
in every grade if the pupils are 10 acquire a
command Of the language. Hence eyery
teacher should be especially interested in
this study. whatever attention may be given
to others. No one can can be good teacher
IN this branch Of study who is not a constant
student Of il; and the student, both teacher
ana pupil, must net only read much good
literature, but he must study it critically,
ana for the best results he must acquire the
haoit OF writing. teacher Of English must
be writer of English also, for practice i,
what gives proficiency In order to teach
essay writing one must know how essnys
are written, aud he cannot know this thor
oughly Till he has written them, in some
simple form at least himself
III the teacher is careless about his own
language he will not be likely to improve

the English language in its purity, and not
all teachers are able to make the mice dis
tinctions between elegant simplicity and
coarseness; in avoiding the commonplace

should pretend to be an infallible exanple
to his pupils, though he ought TO be far
superior to them. The spirit of the truc
teacher in this branch of study more than in
any ether, is that of a learner: and if the
teacher makes mistake OF is in error. as he
is sure to be, only less frequently than the
pupil he could encourage his pupils to cor
rect him, AMI be glad of the corrections
since he himself is thus improving, and
since the criticism which the pupil makes is
the lest evidence of good teaching: and
there is no danger that the teachers superb
ority Will not be recognized if he is really |
superior.

stocks Of goods to meet the demand Of oil

Economy Is essential this year, owing to
the short crop and low price Of cotton, and
we advise practical economy in the purchase
Of the necessities Of life, which by the order
Of things, must come through the mercsn-

makes no difference.
Bot We have of,sn thought Of the great
injustice done the retail dealers by consum-

We will be candid in saying, that we be-

If tho money that has been sent off in tn

Let Candidates Read.

We recommend that NIL persons who ex-
pect to tc candidates in tho coming cam.
paign, read the following declaration from
Nebraska convention
eve denouncc the seditious and inflam-
matory language used by public speakers Of
recent days and al of their efforts to stir up
strife and dissentions, and create Jealousy
and distrust in the different parts of our
common country, as un-Americau, unpatri-
otto. and fraught with danger to our insti-
tutions. The Democracy Of Nebraska de-
clares that 1t recognizes in commercial and
financial affairs np North, no South, no East,
and that NIL teaches tos tais contrary, Fy
whomsoever disseminated, are false and
pernicious. While we favor liberal pensions
TO the deserving veterans, we also commend
the worthy efforts of Commissioner Lochran

not entitled to pension, aud to make it what
