they are concerned.
ARMISTEAD JONES,
Chm. Dem. Elk. Conn.,, Wake Co.
DOUGLASS NOT A CANDIDATE.
The position occupied by Mr.. Doug
las in regard to the nomination for
elector is clearly set forth in the fol-
lowing communication sent by him
last night to the News and Observer:

To the Editor: 1t has been said by some,

DESTROYS of the place. have SAID to them
that it had always been one of my prin-
ciples that no Democrat ought to shirk a
duty which his party put upon him to per-
fern, and that if the party should desire
me to canvass TIE district as an eleetor
could not refuse. but that personally |
had no ambition or desire to do so. 1t
is true that / signed an agreement with
two gentlemen who are candidates for
the position to abide by the determination
of caucus of the Wake county delegates,
but i did so simply at their solicitation and
because my name was being publicly
used and I want the caucus and the
public generally to understand that l
do not desire the place.

use OF the power possessed by all. but
cultivated by very few.
The perceptive faculty must be train
ed during childhood and youth. After
the completion Of the twentieth year
very little progress can be made. A
grown man is unable to develop his
powers Of observation to any satsfac-
tory degree Youth is full Of energy,
and that is the time to inculcate the
lesson that we should see all that our
eyes rest upon.
1t should be the object Of every par
ent to teach his child to note every OBJ
ject that comes in his way When out
for walk in a park. the child should
be told to observe the shapes of the
leaves on the different trees. the paling
of the color of animals toward the un-
der part Of the body and so on and
should be told that when asked ques-
ton on the subject he must be prepar-
ed to say that it is so, not that he
thinks it is.
All children have inquiring minds,
and after a walk or two, coupled with
such instruction as we have mention
ed. you will find the child making great
progress and acquiring quality that
will be Invaluable to him in after life.
One of the methods adopted by Hou-
din. the conjurer, for quickening the
perception Of his son was to make him
walk rapidly past shop window or
stall on which a number of articles
were displayed and then write down
list of the objects noticed. At first only
half a dozen articles were perceived
during the moment occupied in passing
the store or window but after having
done it once day for month the boy
was able to make a list Of 40 Objects
