than an imaginative cast OF intellect, His American

To the Editors Of the Union and American:


I see by the report of the Davidson
county School Commissioners, and the
Board of Education of the city of Nash
vile, that they jointly have adopted Sc
ries of text books to be used in the city
and county schools. learn that the
books were thoroughly examined by an
able committee, and their report was
adopted by vote which told plainly that
the Board had implicit confidence in the
wisdom and good judgment of the com
mittee.


The object of this communication is o
try to get other counties joining Davidson
to adopt the same series of books. By SO
doing a large sum of money could be saved
and much inconvenience avoided. 1t is
well known there is a large number of visi-
tors that rent property from year to year,
and are frequently moving across the
county lines. Now, if the same books
were used in all the schools in the State,
| if a family move from one county to an
other, having three children, it will cost
say seven dollars to get them change of
books. This will not always be attended
to promptly, and the result will be that
time (which is always valuable) will be
lost. This seems to be a small matter,
but thousands of dollars would be
saved annually, and there would


be more uniformity in the mode
of teaching, and children transferred
from one school to another, by the pa
rents changing residence would not feel

OUR reporter who attended the Demo-
cratic Convention at Charleston, has en-
abled us to lay before our readers pretty


full and readable account Of things done
and said by that gathering. The proceed
ings and deliberations were fur from har'

was the negro. The JACKsoN.CAMDKN
wing of the party we're for taking posi-
ton for the FLICK amendment, and they
succeeded in getting a majority report
from the Committee on Resolutions
in their favor; but a tremendous
rally was made against It The
untailing appeal to the Democratic pre-
judicc against the negro carried the day,
and the Democracy by n large majority
declared against that measure. Parkers-
burg was slaughtered on all hands, and
Camden forced to withdraw. We have
no space this morning for comment on the
platform, but will pay it our respects nj
an carly day and from time to time aS op-
portunity permits.

The Little Rock Gazette of Sunday
last contained the following: Mr.. j.
V. Fitch, sent as proxy TO vote the
stock of the city of Little Rock at the
recent election Of directors at Hope
field, made a verbal report to the
council on Friday night, Of his mis-
sion, though it did not appear in the
printed proceedings. He stated that
on his arrival at HOpeheld, it appear
ed that Judge Reeve, Of the Pulaski
County Court, whose duty we believe
it was to vote the stock Of the county
at the election, had failed, for some
reason, to be present. If he had been
present the Arkansas and private stock
would have been within four votes
of a majority, and might possibly
have ruled out the Epperson stock and
controlled the election. The right 10

mitted. The reports of the officers OF
the company Corporations for the past

was composed of the same members
named in our telegcaphic dispatches q
few days since. Only one Arkansas
man was elected. We hope that our
Legislature will keep close eye upon
the ecompany in the future and see that
it does not stray far outside Of the re-
quirements Of its charter.

PEACH ITEMs.-Thus far the crop of early
varieties are turning out poorly. We are not
shipping half the quantity Of fruit from this
locality that was shipped last year. The price,
however, is making up for the deficiency of
the crop, IN many instances. One gentleman
who sold his crop for 45 cents last year, has
SoId his present crop for 50 cents, or nearly
double, and expects to realize about SI0G0
more this year than last from his orchard
Quite number of farmers refuse to take less
than dollar per bas ket tor their crop. We
estimated last year that the crop paid about As
cents per basket on the average, so that if the
yield is only half the farmers will not lose any
thing 1t is thought.


We stated last week that the Lcwcs stea-
mers were taking the Sussex crop. 1t seems,
however, that this is not the case. The stea
mers are managed 50 badly that they cannot
be employed with certainty and the growers
have to ship by rail.


The total number of cars engaged to carry
the peach crop, this season, is 420, more than
were employed last year.

Woman's love like the rose bios
soming in the desert, spreads its
rays over the barren plain of the
human heart, and while ali around it
is black and desolate, it rises more
strengthened from the absence of
every other charm. In no situation
does the love of woman appear more
beautifully than of wife; parents,
brethren. and friends have claims
upon the affections, but the love of
wife is of more different nature.


\ daughter may yield her life to
the preservation of parents sis
ter may devote herself to a suffer
ing brother; but the feelings which
induce her to this conduct are not
such as those which lead a wife to
follow the husband of her choice
through every peril that may befall
him; to watch over him in danger,
to cheer him in adversity, and to
ever remain unalterable at his side
in the depths of ignominy and
shame.


1t is an heroic devotion which
woman displays in her adherence to
the fortune of hspless husband;
when we behold her in her domestic
scenes, y mere passive creature of
enjoyment; an intellectual JOY.
Frightening the family circle with
her endesrments, and loved for the
extreme JOY which that presence
and endearments are calculated To
impart, we can scarcely credit that
the fragile being who seems to hold
her existence by thread, is capable
of supporting the extreme of hu-
man suffering; nay, when the heart
of man sinks beneath the weight of
agony, that she should maintain her
pristine powers of delight, and by
her words of comforr and patience
lead the distracted murmurcr IL
peace and resignation.

ton in his mind. If entrusted to
them, the power would not be
used to advance any mans
political fortunes. Another fact in
their favor was that both political


parties were represented on the Boards
of Supervisors. The duty was perfect
ly consistent With their office, as the


Constitution already made them judges
of the elections in their respective
counties.


The suggestion had been made that
the Supervisors would refuse TO act. 1t
might with equal propriety be said that
they might refuse 10 act as judges of
elections. The objection applied as
much in the one case as in the other.
That is, it did not apply at all. If you
cannot trust your Supervisors you bring
your State government TO close. fou
cannot elect aBd organize q single Leg
islature without the action of SHperyi
sors in reviewing election returns. The
speaker closed by calling attention to
the fact that Governor Boreman had
run the registration machine and mad
subsequently become United States Sem
ator.

demanded. Why was such haste being
madei Could we not afford to trust the

sented all shades of political opinion.
lie believed he could best secure the
greatest good to the greatest num-
Ter by this substitute. He did
not want the registration law torn
to pieces. In justice to his people he
would not vote for the bill as it appear
ed before this House.


1t had been held that the Boards of
registration were not responsible. In
order to compel illegal registration, ir-
responsible men, not worth the costs,
had been put forward to sue the Boards,
and their only protection was in law
relieving them of responsibility. He
had offered this substitute to test the
honesty of the Democratic party. III
the House passed the original bill, il
could never get through the Senate. II
the substitute passed the House, he had
the assurance that it would be passed
by the other branch.


He believed an effort was being made
by the patrons of the bill to secure con-
troll. of registration, carry the State at
the next election, call State Conveu-
tion and overthrow the new State. He
could see that the fate of Maryland
would be ours.


Mr.. CRACRAFT discussed the opera
tions of prescription at considerable
length, showing that the best interests
of the State, as well as the rights of the
voters, were sacrificed under the pres
ent proscriptive policy. He showed
the fairness of the committees bill and
urged its adoption, not as covering the
whole ground, but as taking long
step in the direction of reform.


M. BURGESS spoke of the outrages
upon the ballot-box perpetrated by reg
istrars in his county, and appealed TO
the liberals to stand by the policy they
had avowed in the last canvass.

House Bill No. 81, to amend the reg
istration law, was under discussion in
the House yesterday. A move was made
to defeat it by substitute offered by
Mr.. FARSswoRTH, of Upshur county.
This substitute provides for the choice,
by the people, of Boards of registration
at the next Oatober election. That is
all of it, except that vacancies occur
ring are to bs filled by appointment OF
the Governor. 1t was offered as COM
promise by the "bitter. .enders," but as
may readily be seen, the coacession is
all on the wrong side. They ask
the liberals to yield everything, while
they concede nothing but what they
may and will recall if successful at tn Q
next election.


What is wanted under our registra-
tion system, and what the people de
mand, is q reform that will operate, not
next year, but Immediately. All the
outrsges that went so far to produce the
popular resolution of last Fall, grew
directly out of the exercise of the ap-
pointing power by the Executive Bad
men have got in, and the the experience
of last year showed that they cannot be
got ont of the registration Boards. After
the iniquities of CALDWELL in Green
brier county had been brought to light,
the Governor threw o sop to public
opinion by announcing the removal OF
that man. Bot it turned out that he
had not removed him, aud CALDWELL is
President of the Greenbrier Board OF
Registrations to this day. It was prom
ised by the Governor that he would re-
move any registrar who became cau-
didate for Office. Yet there are members
in the House who were elected over
the opposition of members Of the Board
of registration, and these same men
still hold their seats. By his power OF
appointment and removal the Executive
can control the right Of suffrage
through the entire State. The
evils growing out of this state ct
affairs are admitted. The Intelligencer
of September Goth says: ave main
tain feature of registration which puts
the control Of suffrage in the hands of
irresponsible and sometimes unscrupu-
lous agents who do not always step
with those who are excluded by law,
but who to crafty personal dislikes or
mercenary ends deprive of the ballot
men of their own political faith who
have a right to vote under the law"
This is but one Of many similar admis-
sions made by the Republican journals
of the State.


Now what remedy, We ask, does Mr..
FARNswoRrH's substitute propose 7
Nothing at all for the current year. For
the future, it promises an election Of

1t is stated that at least three millions
Of teeth are annually made in this coun-
try alone. The first operation, according
TO the method of manufacture pursued at
one OF the most extensive and celebrated
establishments, is the choosing of the
materials. These are feldspar, silica and
clay. To these are added various me
talic oxides to produce any shade of color
desired. The feldspar, clay, ETC., are
ground to an impalpable powder under
water, dried, and made into paste That
composing the body of the tooth Is OF
different materials from that composing
the base or enamel. The teeth are made
in brass molds, and this is quite a deli
cate process. The enamel is first put in
place with q small steel spatula; the pla-
tinum rivets, by which the teeth are fast
ened to the plate, are placed in position,
and then the body is pressed into the
mold. They are then submitted to a
powerful pressure and dried.


After being dried they are submitted
TO process called bisouiting, in WHICH
they can be cut like chalk. They are
then sent to the trimmers, who scrape
of all projections, and fill mp all depres-
sions which may have been left in the
operation Of molding, and then wash
them with what is technically termed
enamel. This is composed Of various
substances, more fusihfe than the tooth
itself, and answers the glaze in common
porcelain making. Ii is ground to a fine
powder and suspended in water, and is
laid on with a oamels hair brush. They

oxide Of gold, and is applied in the same
manner as the enamel. After being dried
they are burned. This operation Is car
ried on in a muffle. The teeth are placed
on a bed Of crushed quartz, which is
placed on a slab Of refractory clay.
After being exposed 20 an intense heat
for some hours, they are taken out,
cooled, and assorted.-yomRal Of AD-
