The school-mastcr shall take in school
at five O'Clock in the morning i'll sum-
mer, and at six in the winter. He shall
give lessons to each one according to his
rank, age and capacity, and explain them
well and manncrly, hearing them at
proper time and pointing out to the boys
their mistakes and failures, 50 that by
this means they may acquire skill and
honor.
The school-mastcr shall beat them
with rods and not with his fist or staff
and particularly not on the head, lest,
on account ofthciryouth, he might there
by do great damage to the organ Of
memory.
There was 4 holiday observed called
"Thc Procession of the Rods i'll which
all the pupils Of the school went out i'll
the summer to the woods and came back
heavily laden with birch twigs, cracking
jokes by the way and singing:
Yc fathers and We mothers good,
See us with the birchen wood
Loaded, coming home again;
For our profit it shall serve,
Not for injury or pain.
Your will and the command Of God
Have prompted us to bear the rod
On our bodies thus today,
Not i'll angry, sullen mood,
But with a spirit glad and gay.

Words Of Wisdom.

Oddly is not originality.
Gossip is always partly SANDER.
Ifiealously is foolish so is love
Hoping for the best helps deserve it.
A dollar saved is a dollar somebody
else will probably spend.
Few men care to tell the exact truth
concerning their successes.
Honesty is the best policy, but not
always the winning policy.
The bachelor girl is the girl who
failed to capture bachelor.
Necessity is the mother Of iuyen-
ton. and poverty is its stepmother.

Six Years in a Cavern.

In 1890 Aaron Pinston, farmer
of Hindman, Ky, aged 50 years, was
indicted by the Knott county circuit
court for hog stealing. Pinston had
a large family, but when the officers
went to arrest him they were told
that he had left home the night be-
fore, going toward the mountains
His family did not become alarmed
for some time, thinking that he would
return. Failing to hear from him.
they succeeded in getting the indict-
ment set aside, bat still nothing could
be heard of him He was finally given
up as dead, and his widow married.
Last week, while hunting on Cars
Fork, near its mouth, some men saw
smoke coming from undera large rock
on the side of a steep mountain, in a
place so difficult of access that no one
ever ventured to it. They started in
search Of the spot from where the
smoke was issuing, and with some
difficulty reached the place,
They were Mortified at what they
saw. Lying wrapped in skins near a
fire was an old man who had appar-
emily been dead not more than q
hours. Under the rock he had dug
away the earth, and with sticks and
stones had built him a warm and COM
modious little room. The floor was
laid with skins Of sheep, hogsa and cattle.
The walls also were lined inside with
sheepskins and a cot made Of logs and
skins was on one side. Near the open
ing was fireplace in which there was
still some wood burning.
He had no cooking utensils, no gun
and no axe, and it was amystery how
he managed to kill the animals. Upon
investigation it was found that there
was a narrow path winding around
the side Of the mountain, and at a
point near Pinstou's little house the
path bordered on precipice, and fifty
feet below was lot of broken stone.
1t is supposed that Pinston would ell
ther stand in a crevice in the rock and
knock the animals from the path onto
the stones below with a large stick, or
that he would climb up the side of the
mountain some twenty feet and roll
down large stones on his prey when
the opportunity presented itself.
The hair of the man hung over his
shoulders, and was almost perfectly
white, while his beard was also very
long and gray. 1t was with difficulty
that Pinston was identified His body
was buried by his relatives.

4 POLITICAL SCHEME.

We suppose no one who is familiar with
New York politics doubts that the primary
purpose of the new liquor law, devised by
Thomas G. Plat, was to get the control OF
the liquor saloons out OF the hands Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt's commission. In doing this
Plat also devised plan by which to get
them into his own hands and the hands OF
Tammany again. The two work together
in politics, and they do not care very much
il the offices are distributed between the
parties, when their henchmen can absorb
them. The object of the bill was to create
a great political machine. Under 1t the
licenses are all under the control of the
State, head of the system being appointed,
with two hundred assistants, who receive
salaries aggregating $250000.
The bill was odious for the opportunities
it afforded Plat. Governor Morton was
urged to veto it, and would have done 81,
probably. had not Plat kept the Presiden
tial bee industriously buzzing in his bonnet,
making Morton's prospect for the Office de
pendent upon himself There is to be an
effort now, to take the offices from P,att by
putting them under the civil service rules
Platt's present effort is to get round these,
and the Attorney General of the State, who
belongs to him, is aiding in the work, but il
is quite possible that the courts of the State
may Offset his scheme.

Among the names of the several promi.
nent gentlemen mentioned in connection
with the Democratic nomination for Con
gress from the Fifth District, we hear none
more frequently or urged with greater force
than the Hon. Benjamin Harris Camalier,
of Leonardtown. Mr.. Camalier is an ac-
complished gentleman, a ripe lawyer, a
popular speaker, and staunch and un
compromising Democrat. For several years
he has been the chairman OF the Democratic
State Central Committee Of ST. Marys coun
ty, and in several desperate and hand to.
hand encounters has led his party TO vic
tory in the county. He was elected States
Attorney for St. Mary's county and made
an efficient officer. He was nominated last
fall for the same Office and after gallant
and hard fight fell outside OF the breastworks
but with his feet TO the enemy Without
wishing to disparage the claims of Others
~. this honor, we think the nomination OF
Mr. Csmalier would be a wise one and would
result in bis triumphant election at the gen
eral election.

KATHLEEN MA VoURNEEN

The lovers of pathetic song will learn
with profound sorrow that Prof. Crouch
the author of kathleen Mavourneen," in
his ripe old age, has been stricken with
serious attack of heart disease, which has in
all probability been superinduced by want
and poverty. AT this writing his condition
is considered extremely critical, but at the
same time it is more than gratifying TO know
that his closing hours are mellowed with
every earthly comfort that appreciatve ad-
mirers can bestow. How his desolate old
heart must have been touched and his eyes
moistened as these souvenirs of gratitude
came pouring in upon him from those who
have thrilled at the utterances OF this famous
song.
"Kathleen Mavourneen" gushing
tender, and hallowed memories come troop
ing over and around us at the very mention
of these words. Every luscious contralto
voice of two generations has poured its
passionate tones affluently Its history is
wet with the tears of sentiment, and its
memories vibrate with the applause OF null
titudes. 1t has been sung under all win
dows. and ACCOMPANIED on all moonlight
lakes and moonlight rambles. IL nestles in
the old piles of ballads embalmed with the
recollections of the sweetest authors who
have lived and died.
The intimate personal history of any man
who has done things is interesting. Pioi.
Crouch's story differs in no marked way
from that of the ordinary man OF rowing
propensities, save that through all the years
of his career runs that bright silver thread
of musical genius which found its best and
noblest expression in kathleen Mavour-
peen," from which he never realized cent :
revenue. One publishing firm, however
realized over two hundred thousand dollars
from its publication, and sold the plates and
copyright for fifty thousand more.
With the opening OF the great rebellion"
Prof Crouch shouldered his musket, Joined
the "Richmond HowilZers," and like noble
thoroughbred fought for the rights Of the
South. We are glad to learn that the men
aud women who love the melody of his
song, as well as those who admire his long
and steadfast devotion TO people through
out great and trying struggle, are not for
getting him in his hour Of affection and
want AS an interesting remembrance OF
this same great struggle, in which he 50
maniully bore his part, we will state, that
there are now those living in our town who
can recall the fact that upon the retreat Of
Gen. Esrly's army from around the forts
near Washington, at the hour of midnight
portion Of his cavalry halted for short
time in The heart Of our town, and among
other ballads, sang most beautifully "kath'
leen Mavourneen
