In our cares to awaken our little ones
to sense of their duties at school, we
should not forget that school requires du-
ties Of us. Though we are no longer pu-
pills, still duty requires of US that we go
to school as visitors.


Parents. should visit schools that they
may become acquainted with the teach
ers, their methods Of management, their
multiform and difficult abors, the tax
upon their patience, and the many dis
eouragements Of their profession. If par
rents would thus acquaint themselves.
many of the petty conflicts between par
rents and teachers would cease, and home
and school life would be more in accord.
The parents should know of the endcav-
ors of the teacher, and the teacher should
know of the hopes OF the parents. They
should labor mutually, but cannot unless
they know the wishes and designs of each
other; and to know this, the parents
should visit the school and the teacher
the home.


Teachers are human, and share with
the rest of the family, susceptibility of
being encouraged by cheering word of
sympathy and cooperation, or discour-
aged by apathy and Indifference.


If the teacher is faithful in the dis
charge of his duties, frequent visits will
stimulate him to more earnest efforts if
he is untaithful, constant supervisor
will drive him to a stricter attention to
his duties. A frequent presence of the
parents at the school will have this effect,
not only upon the teachers, but also upon
the scholars. Now, then, the duty of par
ents is plain. Will they perform or neg
lect it? Will they encourage their chill
rem by faithful performance of their
own duties, or will they, by their exam
ample, teach them that Education is a
secondary matter and may be neglected :?

We confess that we fail to comprehend all

We are in favor OF that system we think it just
that every constituency ahonld choose its own
member by separate vote but we desire to
plainly say that the theory that a citizen who
ives inside the city limits OF Wilmington cannot
have, or ought not to have, equality of rights
with citizen who lives outside Of them, is a
false and preposterous notion, which may as
well be scotched at once. 1t makes no odds

To the Editor of the Herald.


Your very able and timely article in the

There is precious little sympathy existing
between the citizens of Montana and the
Governor. He keeps himself aloof from the
masses, and is bound up in his egotism. He
may be great man-and think he is physi-
cally-but he has the poorest way of showing
his greatness that I have ever seen. He
lacks discretion and foresight. and has no
business to set himself up as Republican
leader. Only one man have talked with

Potts is not g dictator to direct Republicans

do. He would do well to attend to his own
business, quit meddling with the Judiciary,
and attempting to govern the course of under
officials of the Territory. Heis q newcomer

From the n. Y. Eve. Post.


There is every Indication that the
Germans If this city will cast large
vote for Grant and Dix than they have
ever thrown for any Republican ticket.
In 1868 there were but about seven
thousand names enrolled on the list
of the German Republican d clubs.
Upwards Of fourteen thousand have
been enrolled thus far in the present
campaign, and the average daily ac-
cession is about four hundred, while
the German Greeley and Brown clubs
make but little headway, and have OBJ
tanned but about six thousand names
up to the present time AS general
thing, the German Greeley meetings
are neither all attended nor enthusias
tic, while the reverse is the case with
those of their opponents. Nothing
showed this more clearly than the beg
carly attendance at the German stand
during the recent Greeley demonstra-
tion on Fourteenth street. There were
hardly fifty German listeners present,
and the managers deemed it prudent
to station an Irish Sharpshooters' COM
pany round the stand, SO as to make
the empty space less marked. More
over, most of the German leaders of the
Cincinnati movement have turned their
backs upon the Greeley party, and only
a few lesser lights, such as Glaubensk-
lee, Gercks and Kessler, remain.


There are altogether about thirty
five thousand German voters in New
York. The best informed German
politicians believe that General Grant
will receive fully twenty thousand of
these; that five thousand, following the
advice of the Staats Zeitung, will alb
STAIN from voting, and that if Greeley
gets the remaining ten thousand he
will do well. Another significant indi-
cation of the direction in which the
wind is blowing among the Germans of
New York is the fact that the widely
circulated New Yorker Tagesnachrich
ten (the German edition of Ben Woods
Evening News) which at the beginning
Of the campaign was an enthusiastic
Greeley organ has become ominously
moderate SO that Greeley has now but
one German organ leit-the New York
er 10 trnal, which, last year, defended
the Tammany thieves to the end, and
whose circulation since then has been
very limited. On the other hand, the
Oestliche Post and the New Yorker
Democrat are rapidly gaining in circu-
lation.

seems that the reputation of the
State for eccentricity is cherished
as matter of pride. A brilliant
instance of this popularity lately
took place near Biinkley Station,
on the Memphis and Little Rock
Railroad. The train had stopped
to wood, and the passengers all got
out on the platform to while away
the time. One of them, named
John Brady, had more serious bus
mess on his hands than killing time.
He stepped up to another, named
Clifford, and saying "your time has
come" commenced emptying his
revolver into his victims body. Cliff
ford could not stand it, and fell
dead among the passengers. Bra
dy gave himself up.


A coroner's jury was speedily
summoned, and an investigation
took place, while the train delayed
in order not to carry off the wit
nesses. Brady made a statement,
telling the gentlemen and ladies
"that no one could regret the affair
more than he, but one of them had
to go, and he preferred to stay and
see his family again. He hoped he
would never be forced to do such a
thing again, and rested the justice
of his case with the eoroner's jury"
That body acquitted Brady on the
ground of justifiable homicide, and
advised him to be more careful in
the future. They objected chiefly
to his shooting man among so
many passengers. 1t was danger
