 After the concert MT. c. c. Thach of Au- burn was introduced in a felicitous man. ner by Dr. Groce Harrison, who spoke of the choice fruits the Chautauquans have already gathered; they have drunk from the Brooks of California's greatest wit, enjoyed the bright Merri0Dment from Tennessee, plucked the fresh Hawthorne blossoms and wandered down the cool, refreshing Lanes.
 MT. Thachs lecture, one of the very best that has been given, was upon "A Higher Popular Culture, How Obtained and of What Value2' The nineteenth century is the century of literature, cul- ture and lecture, but it seemed that the greatest of these is culture. come not to cut the gordian knot of the tariff ques- tion, nor to illumine the darkness of the money question with new light from Heaven, but to speak plainly of the claims of literature in obtaining higher culture. The widespread prejudice against literature is a prodigious mis- take. At best, litera ture does not incu- bate dude. The two Pitts Gladstone, Morley Balfour, Cavour, Samuel Adams, John and John Quincy Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Webster Calhoun, are a prac- tieal refutation of the sheer against the scholar in politics. Literature is not an idle pastime, but @ splendid instrument of refinement. There is not only power. but beauty and sweetness in books. There is awaiting you about the library table great company of rare, glorious spir- its-Shakespeare, Milton, dear Charles Hamlet's grave-digger we can be "cheek by jowl'' with these in the pure democ- racy of letters.
 A question of vital importance is what we shall not read. Guard against de- sultory reading; so many read without purpose The flesh pots of Egypt are so enticing and the mama of Heaven so dry. The pity of gormandiZing with worthless reading is that it leads us away from eternal litera ture. So far as pos sble, every boy and girl should have a college education; but, after all, human life, with it's training of reyerseS, is the greatest university. The true aim of ed- ucation is to train us to think closely and consecutively. An ounce of educa- tion is worth ton of information. The book not worth reading with pencil in hand is not worth reading at all. Read and re-read, sleeping our very souls. Coleridge said there are four great classes of readers, spongeS that return all they take, save in a little dirtier state; sand

powerful agency to lift one up out of the ruts of prejudice. to ineulcate love of vir7 tue, hatred of vice, reverence for God, to temper the fierce spirit of materialism rife in the land.
 The Chautauqua Literary Social Cir cle round table this afternoon was led by Rev. R. Lynn Walker. Miss Mary Wood gave a most excellent account of the way in which Italy became united. Miss Mary McAfee and Miss GoodaA read selections from Mrs. Brewing, and there was some pleasant general discus sion. The subjects in the round table are tomorrow, Rusldn; Saturday, Mon day. Tuesday and Wednesday, Florence, Venice and Rome.
 The evening session was enjoyed to the very utmost by the large audience. Miss Hammond with surpassing sweetness sang "The Bells of Long Ago." and as an encore, "The Stile."
 MT. Graham then introduced MT. Charles Lane, who lectured upon Talk and Takers" For more than an hour he kept the audience in a continuous round of laughter and applause, with an occa- sional sigh or tear for the tender and pa- thetic, which he mingled with his broad humor. Surely he dares to be more than half as funny as he can

 Habeas Corpus Trials.

S20 I could never give my consent Tor silver to be anything but subsidiary coin Why should we demand double Stand- ard when no other nation has done sof Silver is not the poor mans money, but gold which has it's full value and is hon. est and just Silver ought to be an arti- cle of merchandise. The initial monetary blunder of our country was made In li9z, when by act of congress fifteen pounds of silver were made equal in value to one of gold. Others followed in the years 1884 1S37 1853, 1862, 1879. It is not true that the act of 1873 was passed surrepti- tiously. The charge is ridiculous. l have every confidence in the American peo- ple, but due deference should be paid to the older nations of erath. l have had a, lifelong conviction that 1t is impract- cable to put gold and silver on perfect equality. Silver in India has Appreciated from 16 to 1 until now it is only 30 to l. The victim is the laborer who sells his labor. l lost my political life because wassin favor of high protective tariff, butI never had a conviction that the tar if should be forty-eight cents on the dollar Let us have a single gold stand ard as measure of values.
 Captain Bankhead said those who knew nothing about a thing decide it at once I am bimetallist and assert that money is a mere creatOn of law, regu- lator of equity. In 1792, Jefferson and Hamilton, the dollar was fixed at 37l grains of pure silver, because the Span ish dollar was found to contain that amount. This was not changed in 1873, and the gentlemen is mistaken as to the publicity of the act of 1873. True the bill was printed, but not a member of con- gPess opened his head and spoke of it as the characterization of silver. double standard is possible and was maintained from 1792 to 1873. While you can't have double yardstick, you can have two, one of oak and one of hickory, each 36 inched in length. The purpose of a double stand ard is when there's a corner on one metal to use the other What this country needs is cheap money, not Appreciated money, an honest dollar, a just dollar. If money measures values, isn't it true that the amount of money regulates prices?
 Facts are better than prophecy, and have the statistics under the Bland-Alli- son bill of 1878. While $350, 1000 in sil- yer were put in they brought S439, 100000 in gold. You can legislate money into peoples pockets. You can't find an ad- vocate of free silver anywhere who Is in favor of dollar worth less than 100 cents, and we maintain that it is fail- ure unless 1t causes an advance in prices. What reason have we for supposing that free coinage will drive gold out, or bring

THE CHAUTAUQUANS.
THE TEACHER BEFORE HIS CLASS"
Captain Martin and Hon. john H. Bankhead Discuss CuTeneY-Dr. Thach Lectures
 on Higher Popular Culture

Talladega, July 11.-(speeial Corre- spondence.)-D -McNeill gave this morn- ing as. the third in the Sunday school normal course a lecture upon "The Teacher Before His Class" He should be at his post early, that is, in time to speak cordial words of welcome to his pupils; indeed, it is a most excellent plan to have a eachers meeting ten minutes before the school opens, that the teacher may literally go from the closet to the class. The opening exercises strike the keynote of the day, and every mem Der should take part in them. Funda- mental canons in Sunday school teaching are to get the attention of the class, which is easy, and to keep it. which is very difficult Lay aside all books eX- cept Gods own word. There can't be too many Bibles. Lessons to be successful must reach the minds. hearts and char acters of the pupils. Don't waste time in useless questions, in repeating ques- tions, in useless discussions, in being in- terrupted. Appeal to the superintendent for every minute of the time allotted for class use. Take the first five or ten minutes for a review and preview. the next fifteen for the lesson proper, it's dates, dongs, duties and doctrines and the last five or ten for an intense per sonal application. t is a good idea to have after the school is dismissed short teachers meeting to talk over the condition of the school, those who are interested, their needs. etc.
 At 10 o'clock MT. Grass played piano solo, after which the Hon. Cecil Brown became platform manager, introducing Capt. John M. Martin and Capt. John H. Bankhead, who, for two hours and half addressed the Chautauqua upon the financial question, now paramount in our land. Captain Martin opened the discussion and spoke an hour, Captain Bankhead following in a speech of the same length, and each having a reply of fifteen minutes. Captain Martin said this politico-economic question should not distract our peple, but it deserves careful study. While bimetallist in the truest sense of the word, he felt con strained to protest against the free and unlimited coinage of silver as unwse.
 A measure of value must possess val ue and to possess value it must possess utility and its production must have cost labor Both silver and gold possess these qualities. Their loss from attrition is slight. but the yellow metal is more por- table and less liable to fluctGsrtion. We should fix upon standard the same in value everywhere. Let silver be legal tender for small sums and the smallest gold coin

glasses, anxious to get through with as much as possible; strain bags, that re- tain only the dregs, and those like the slave in the Golconda minds keep the gold and gems, throwing aside the droSs.
 We should read, learn and invariably digest. A book should be read with the soul. The heart of the writer can be caught only by the heart of the readers
 What is true literature? Character is a much higher thing than mere intellect and our highest aim should be to learn the difficult thing of right living. True literature is not mere tumble of facts, but power A wise course of reading should leave no type of thought un- touched, but Sir John Lubbock's list of books or any other mans list of books for everybody is about as sensible as the same bill of fare for everybody.
 Biography should be read for the his tory of the world is the history of its best men. History should have place, the history of institutions, of gov ernments of nations. of laws, of re- ligious systems, of the Anglo-Saxon na- tion. of the old south, whose glorious civ
 lization reigned like dream of peace in those halcyon days.
 The realm of imaginative literature is not merely an ornamental fringe, signify
 ing nothing. The imagination is the source of our greatest pleasures. All, the boy, the lover, the merchant
 revel in the charm of this mighty ma gcian. God loves the beautiful and gives it to us in the lily, the lace the east ern star, painted with the celestial brush Poetry is the guide to the secrets
 of life. Froude says that Shakespeare's
 plays are the truest history of England.
 The world would be all the sweeter and
 life be all the more worth living if the
 childish imagination could be longer pre-
 served. The limpid pool of poesy will purge from carking care.
 If properly guarded no agency is more humanizing than the novel Do not pro- hibit the cup of pure fiction which cheers, but does not inebriate. I love that glo- rious trio Dickens, Thackeray and George Eliot and of the northern wizard in his aIvanhoe" and "Old Mortality" I never tire more than do of the stars.
 Let us read the good old literature. | Mine is a plea for popular culture, not mere aesthetic gush. There is spirit | of gross materialism rampant in our | land, and with many the chief end of | education is to get trade.
 | Our boys have read so little. One in

Better Children.

The reason why we have not better
children is found in the fact thlt we are
not better parents. All the weaknesses
Of our characters are reproduced in the
characters of our offspring. Unless our
eyes are blinded by self coneeit We may
often see cir own shortcomings mirror
ed in their conduct. In view Of this We
ought not to he harsh with them, or ex-
pect them to act with more pro-
priety than we did at their age, or than
we DO nOwY Let us not be understood
as intimating that parents should ever
be Indifferent TO wrong-doing upon the
part of their children. That would be
heathenish. What We mean is that our
efforts to improve them should always
I've put forth in the spirit of gentlencss
and love. Even when we must rebuke
and correct them, let US do it with dig
nifty, self-restraint and wisdom. ~ From
