Henry Wilson, the postmaster at Weshton,
Florida, says he cured case of diarrhuea Of
long standing in six hours, with one small bot
tie of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhGa Remedy. What pleasant surprise that
must have been to the sufferer. Such cures
are not unusual with this remedy. In many
instances only one or two doses are required to
give permanent relief. 1t can always be de-
pended upon. When reduced with water it is
pleasant to take. For sale by Thos. g. For

Current Topics in the Schools.
The suggestion that every tea1fer, whether
in city, village or district school, should strive
to interest his pupils in the study of current
topics, is all excellent one. The primary OBJ
iect of school instruction is not merely to car
ry the pupils through SO many textbooks on
so many different subjects, but so to guide
their growing minds as to develop the best
manhood and womanhood. To accomplish
these results, the teacher must go outside the
textbooks, must put life into his teaching,
and must connect the school work with the
life and thought of the day. especially the
broader thought of the great outside world as
yet but little known to the pupils in the
schools. The first requisite for the successful
study of current topics in the schools is a
teacher who is himself in sympathy and in
contses with the best thought of the day.
The next requisite is a journal that can be
used as textbook one that will furnish the
necessary record of events and comment
thereof, with a good range and variety of
reading. With such journal, the teacher
can make the study of current topics of great
benefit, not only to the scholars but to himself.
A weekly journal that fairly presents all sides
of every important public question, and that
admirably meets the requirements for the
study of current topics in the schools, is Pub
&c Opinion, published at Washington, D. c.,
at $3.50 per year. A contribution of ten
cents apiece from 25 pupils will pay for Pub
lie Opinion for one year, or five cents apiece
will pay for it for six months. The weekly
issues can be used as textbooks in the read
ing classes, and if preserved and bound they
make valuable addition to or nucleus for
school library. Send for specimen copy.

a seemingly careless manner all in
formation necessary for the use of the
confederates The only frequent visi-
tor she had was an unpretentious pro-
vinicial youth, who would sit on the
piazza with her in the after
noon, exciting no suspicion. The
youth" was Mosby, the famous
guerrilla, and Miss Ford, who was
honorary aid-de-camp to Brigadier-
General j. +. Il. Stuart, was giving
him the whole scheme and strength of
the union forces, where the pickets
were stationed, the strength of the
outposts, the names of officers in com
mand, the nature of general orders,
the places where officers quarters were
established and the number of officers
present. Once when she was riding
with n union officer Mosby joined them
in his questionable citizens clothes;
Miss Ford introduced him under his as
sumed name, and joining them for a
few miles he learned much that he
wished to know. That night Mosby
was enabled through Miss Ford's in
formation to make the attack upon
Gen. Stoughton, carrying off officers
rs prisoners, also valuable property,
and capturing 100 fine horses. It was
this affair which called forth Lincoln's
well known remark that sit was a
great pity he could make brigadier-
generals, but couldn't make horses.
The true circumstances and mode of
attack, the accurate information in
possession OF the confederate leader,
all pointed Enthusiastically to the exist
ence of spy within the lines, so a
woman was sent to meet a woman.

One of the women who distinguished
herself noblv in the solD iTg Of the
army was Mrs. Annie Etheridge of
Wisconsin. who was in the second bat
tie of Bull Run, and had public recog-
milton from Gen. Kearney Of her scrv-
ices. His death prevented her promo
ton. She was often under fce. An
officer was once shot down by her
side, and once, when rebel officer
was captured, Mrs. Etheridge escorted
him to the rear by the generals COM
mand. At Spottsylvania Heights, when
the soldiers were retreating, she
demonstrated with them, and brought
them back, altogether proving herself
a daring soldier. She received gov
eminent appointment after the war.
Nine. Turchin, another woman of high
birth, fought on the Union side. She
was the daughter of a Russian officer,
born in Russian camp, and was the
wife of Col. Turchin of an Illinois
regiment. During an illness of her hus-
band she TOOK command of the regi-
ment and proved herself an intrepid
leader
Miss Cushman was employed by Gen.
Rosecrans, and was for months with
the Cumberland army. Major Cush-
man knew every road and every house
for miles, was the most daring of
scouts and intrepid of fighters She
visited the confederate lines time after
time. Twice she was suspected of be-
ing a spy and arrested, but both times
she escaped by keenest strategy.
Once Miss Cushman was sent as
scout toward Shelbyville from Nash
Vile, which was held by union forces,
to ascertain the strength of the
enemy. Returning she was captured,
placed on horse in charge of two
scouts and taken to Forests head
