The Enterprise closed its first vol
ume with the issue of April 1st.


Wilson College has matriculated
nearly 100 students in the one year of
its existence.


A gentleman who has travelled
pretty thoroughly over this valley re-
Gently, states that the barley growing
in the field In front Of Gen. Banning's
residence, is the finest he has seen in
the county.


We had a fierce Northwester last
Monday, with cloud of dust that
was almost binding. 1t would have
moved the bowels of compassion in q
Sphynx to have seen the man who
met his Eastern friend at the wharf,
whom he had advised to come to this
semi-trOpical land.


The position of Wilmington, as all
must see, is somewhat anomalous.
Seaward we have an enterprise that is
not yet completed, and landward we
are surrounded by four immense
ranches that are not yet on the mar
ket. Hence the town has for long
time suffered from sort of CONNER
cial asphyxia. But a better day is
dawning. The harbor will soon be
completed and we trust that the
'small farm" movement In this val
ley, that has recently grown into pop
ularity and success, will before great
while reach the vast rich body of land
that lies immediately around this
place.

The City Fathers say that


You must not be out after O'Clock
in the evening,


You must not get up before o'clock
in the morning.


You must not loaf about saloons or
other bad places.


You must not steal rides on cars or
other public conveyances.


Your parents are culpable if they
instruct you to commit any of these
misdemeanOrs.


And, finally, you can be fined from
SIS to $25 or locked up in the calaboOse
if you fail to heed this sound advice.


But by observing it you will grow
up into useful men, like the boy In the
Sunday School book, and perhaps,
some day, become COuncilmen your
selves and make laws for other little
boys.

The mills or God are sorfows;


And love and hope and trust
The grain wherewith he feeds them;
And finer than the dust
The substance that his labor


Gives back unto the soul,
Which, hugry, crieth for 1t,


AS on the ages roll.
All, to weak human knowledge
The end Is far away,
For which we bear the toiling


And burden of to-day!
But God, In His divineness,


Has set the task, that we,
BY heating in the furnace,


May all the purer be.
And, though the way is weary,


His love Is all around;
Lift but the dark cloud curtain,
And, 10! the light Is found.
He holds our hands when silence
Lays on loved lips her touch;
And though His mills grind surely
They will not grind too much.
Say that the waves of passion
Come surging wild and fast,
And yet can find no comfort


From present or from past;
Still, is there yet future,


And countless souls to meet;
And who can tell the pathway
That lies be fore his feet?
There Is no worthless refuse


In all that God has done,
And will He end in darkness
The work In light begun?
hold that all our present


And all our days gone past
But help to fill "a purpose


Made perfect at the last.
We may not see the glory


That lies about our way;
The blind man cannot witness
The beauty of the day;
But to his ear come whispers
That tell him IL is fair
The song of birds, the murmur
OF insects in the air.
The breath of flowers, that mingles
With salt air from the seas;
And, though he cannot see them,
His soul can seize on these;
And through the voice of Nature,
To him Gods love is known,
And yet for him most heavy
The firmly grinding stone.
Tn mills Of God grind slowly,
And grind exceeding small,
And vet His boundless loving
Is given to us all;
From sorrow comes fruition,
And victory from tears.
Love only is eternal;


Pain fades away In years.
We may not know His purpose,
We may not feel His hand,
AS toiling waiting, weary,


We wander through the land;
We may not guess the ending,
But God will surely prove,
Ifearth Is Of His handlwork,
A Father we can love.
Souls that are full of weeping,


Eyes thar are full Oi tears,
For you Gods mill runs slowly,
And weary are the years;
But just beyond the shadows,
That gather with the night,
The dawn of hope is breaking,
And love makes all things bright.

EDITORS Yesterday quite
q stir was created in the circuit court
rooms when it was announced that the
law providing that the fees OF jurors
shall be paid by the losing party, had
been in force for some time past, uns
known to the courts as well as jurors.
Knots Of the latter were seen in many
corners Of the courthouse taking legal
counsel and wisely discussing among
themselves the perpleXing questions,
legal and constitutional, involved in the
case. Not few doubtful compliments
were paid our worthy representatives,
The substance of the difficulty appears
to be in the inability Of judges and law
yeTs to cOnstTue the act in question and
determine when the same weEt into
operation. 1t appears the act Aforesaid
wss vetoed by the governor, and re-
turned and passed over the governors
veto, but bears the date OF the original
passage, and not the date Of its last
passage. This act does not provide when
the sd ne shall go into effect, and the
question for the courts to decide is
"When does il take effect?" Section 20,
article 2, Of the new constitution pro-
vides that "NO law of q general nature
shall take effect until forty days after
its passage, unless the same or the cap.
ton shall state that the public welfare
requires that it should take effect soon
err This is an article OF Limitation,
and forbids the legislature passing an
act making laws Of a general nature
take effect sooner, without stating In
each act as shove required, but the leg
islature is certainly competent to pass
a general law postpOning the operation
Of laws of a general nature not otherwise
provided in the same-say to forty or
fifty days after the adjournment of the
session. Such legislation is not incOn-
sistent with the above provision Of the
constitution. Section l62 OF the code,
which was in force when the new con-
stitution was adopted, says: "NO gen.
eral law passed by the general assembly
shall go into operation, or have binding
effect, until the expiration OF forty days
after the adjournment without day,
unless otherwise provided for in the act
itself" This act is not in conflict or
inconsistent with the section Of the con-
stitutiOn quoted above. Section l ar
ticle new constitution says: "All laws
and ordinances now In. force and use in
this State, not inconsistent with this
constitution, shall continue in force and
use until they shall expire or be altered
or repealed by the legislature" Then
the question recurs, is section l62 Of the
code inconsistent with the provision Of
the constitution, and therefore snnulled
thereby, or otherwise and in full forceP

that the President has, either in writing
or veroslly, requested his resignation or
given him reason to suppose that any
complaint or charges have been made
affecting the integrity Of the Interior de-
partment or his administration Of its 81

whether he now intended TO carry out
his original purpose Of resigning, DelanO
made no definite reply. The President
was also interrogated yesterday as to the
truth of the statement that he had re-
qlested Delano to resign, and gave to it
an emphatic contradiction.

When I was about eighteen years old
Il speak of very distant period), used
to 90 on Saturday afternoon during the
beautiful season to spend the Sunday
with my mother, who lived at v.
some five miles frem my place of labor
I usually went on foot, and was sure to
find sitting under an old oak on the route
great fellow, who always cried out to
me in squeaking voice: Can you give
poor man a little something, my good
sir?"


He was pretty sure to have his appeal
answered by the clinking of few cop
pers in his old felt hat.


One day as was paying my tribute to
Anthony (for so he called himse.f) there
came along good-looking gentleman to
whom the beggar addressed his squeak
ing cry: "Can you give poor man a lit
tie something, my good sir?"
The gentleman stopped, and, having
fixed his eye on Anthony moment, said :
You seem to be intelligent and able to
work-why do you follow such mean
vocation here? 1 should be right glad to
draw you from it, and give you ten Mow-
sand dollars q year,"
Anthony began to laugh, and l Ijoined
in with him.


"Laugh as much as you please" re-
piled the gentleman" but follow my ad-
vice and you'll have what l promise
you. can show it to you also by ex-
ample.


II have been as poor as you are; but
instead of begging, | made out ofa~ old
basket sort of sack, and went II IN
house to house and village to village and
asked the people to give me, not their
money, but their old rags, which then
sold readily to the paper-maker.


"At the end of a year did not ask the
rags for nothing, but paid cash for them
and had besides an old horse and cart
to assist me in my work.


"Five years afterward had six
thousand dollars, and / married the
daughter of the paper maker, who took
me into partnership with him. was but
little accustomed to the business, con-
fess, but ] was young and active; knew
how to work and undergo privation.


"Now / own two good houses In the
city, and have turned my paper-mill
over to my son, whom I easily taught to-
labor and endure hardship without MUIR
muring. Now, do as / have done, my
friend, end you will become as well off
as 1 am"


Saying this, the old gentleman rode on,
leaving Anthony so absorbed in thought
that two ladies passed without hearing
his old falsetto supplication: "Give a
poor man little something, if you
please, today"


Twenty years afterward / had occa-
sion to enter a bookstore for some pur-
chases. A large and welldressed gentle,
man was walking through the store and
giving orders to some halfa-dozen clerks.
We looked at each other as people DO
who, without being acquainted seem 70
have some faint impression that they
have met before.


"Sir." said he to me at the further end
of the store. "were you not in the habit
twenty years ago of walking out to V
on Saturday afternoons?"


"What Anthony, is it your" cried /.
"Sir," replied he, "you see Anthony ;
the old gentleman was right. He gave
me TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS YEAR p

Go to school in season. Call school at
the right time. Have the pupils to come
in promptly and quietly. Write out your
order of exercises. Arrange your pro-
gramme as well as you can. Carry it out
to the minute. Consider it as necessary
for you to follow it as for the children to
follow it. Provide enough work for every
pupil Suppress whispering, Secure the
cooperation of your pupils Lead them
to see that it is for their interest to
have good order and good school. Re
quired hard study from the pupils. Lead
them to love school, Give short lessons.
Assign them so plainly that none can mis-
take their lessons. Have the lessons well
studied. Require clearness, promptness
and accuracy in recitation. A little, well
known, is of great value. Let not show
much, but how WELL" be your motto. Do
not assist the pnpils at recitation. Guilt
vate their self-reliance. Self-help is their
best help. Do not let them help each
other. Excite an interest in study. Be
enthusiastic yourself and you will make
your students enthusiasts. Encourage
those who need encouragement Review
often. Talk but little. Be quiet your.
self. Speak kindly and mildly. Be firm.
If you love the pupils, they will love you.
Keep good order. Government is the
main thing.

A SIMPLE PLAN OF VENTILATION
The following simple plan of ventilating
ordinary dwelling and sleeping rooms, is
recommended by Mr.. Hinton in his
physiology for Practical Use:" A piece
of wood, three inches high, and exactly as
long as the breadth of the window, is to
be prepared. Let the sash be now raised
the slip of wood placed on the sill, and
the sash drawn closely upon it. If the
slip has been well fitted, there will be no
draft in consequence of this displacement
of the sash at its lower part; but the top
of the lower sash will over lap the bottom
of the upper one, and between the two
bars perpendicular currents Of air, not
felt as draft, will enter and leave the
room.

So long as the world is SINFUL a paper
that did not publish its crimes would no
be a truthful record of the world as it is
Its murders, its rapes, its burglaries
should be given along with its good deeds
They may not be pleasant reading; Meth
er are they pleasant facts; but until the
facts can be changed let the people know
them as they are. The Bible is priced as
faithful record, and saved from the sus.
picion of unfairness simply because il
gives the life of its time as that life then
was. 1t records the adultery of David as
well as his psalms; the lechery Of Solo
monaswella ashis proverbs: and the swear
ing of Peter and the disputes among the
apostles as well as their devotion and theil
work. When the press exposes the false
character of a clergyman or public man.
it is simply doing its duty; neither is il
doing a harm, but good. The harm to
society is in having such false lives in
their midst, and the sooner and the more
complete the exposure the better. There
are few causes from which society suffer,
more than from its hypocricies and shams
Let the masks be torn of, and then vii
truth and honesty, as well as crimes and
fraud, stand revealed. The secular press
is bound to be the conserver of all public
morality.

The subject of proper schoolincentives,
without doubt furnishes one of the most
difficult problems for the teacher to solve.
Many different views are held upon this
subject, and many of them may be sup
ported by good arguments But too Of
ten, we fear, the teacher is looking to-
ward immediate results rather than con-
sulting the future good of the pupils in
volved The pressure brought to bear
upon many of our teachers by the social
ed per cent. system has tendency to
urge them to use incentives which will
serve the present only, and in the end
work injury to the best interests Of the
school,


One plan which is sometimes resorted
to even in this advanced age of education,
We feel obliged to condemn We base
this condemnation not alone upon our ex-
perience as pupil, nor our observation
and experience as teacher, but also up
on the results obtained by many eminent
educators who have preceded us, and who
have left their record to prevent us from
being betrayed into mistakes and dangers
from which they barely escaped. This
custom, which we believe to be so perni-
cious to the best interest of pupils, is that
of OBTAINING them after school to do the
work not properly do in school time; to
study unlearned or poorly prepared les
sons. This habit, we think, will in the
end tend to make them dislike more and
more the subjects studied


Our best students of human nature
have laid down as a principle, that we
should never allow anything, which we
desire our pupils to become interested in
and to love, to become connected in any
way with the idea of punishment These
being associated, the mind of the pupil
naturally turns with dislike to the work
which is required as penalty; regarding
it as the cause of punishment rather than
the want of application, which is the truo
cauhe. Hence that in which we wished
him to engage with interest, becomes any
thing but agreeable. We grant that in
stances may be found where some may
have been benefited by such a method !;
but where one such case may be instanc-
ed, fifty may be found where the results
are unsatisfactory and even detrimental to
the intellectual and moral education of
pupils.


Again, we believe that the tendency Of
this method of treating dull and delin-
quent pupils alike, is to cause them not
only to dislike their books, but their
teachers and school and eventually to
drive them from the privileges of the
school, where, in justice to them and So
ciety, they should be retained as long as
possible.


We earnestly ask teachers, who may
have adopted this practice, to earnestly
consider its bearings upon future results,
and we feel assured that the will arrive at
the conclusion that the practice is con-
trary to good management, and tends to
evil rather than good. T.. III. G.
