TEACHERS' COLUMN. -o (I^* Ali communications intended for this column should be addressed to S. P. Stribliutr, School Commis sioner, Walhalla, S. C. Wily should teachers examine their pupils? Beoauso it is necessary to test tile capacity of the pupils, and it is just to;tho pupils, thc teacher and thc patrons. If children were mero re ceptacles of various sizes, capable of growth and contraction, teachers would examine them occasionally lo find out how. much each would bold, and then compare his several ca pacities with previous tests. This would bc a very simule operation and exceedingly satisfactory. Teach ers should examine for the same purpose. Examinations often stimu lates tlic indolent, careless pupil by contrasting his standpoint with thal of Ids fellow student, who has been diligent in prosecuting his studies. Tins composition, exhibits hisdefcets in sud) unmistakable terms that ho is lcd to relied upon the amount of attention and study btv has bestowed upon his duties, both moral and in tellectual. There arc some people whom nothing can reach but a syllogism. How will the following series do? If they aro not made to stand, what better fun. than to knock them all doty ll like a row of bricks? I. Thc schools arc maintained for tho promotion of the best interest of tim State. Tho best interest ol' the State chiclly consists in honesty, intelligence and industry in its citi zens. Ergo: Thc schools arc main tained chiefly for thc promotion of honesty, intelligence and industry. '2. Thc schools are chiefly for tho promotion of honesty, intelligence and industry. Honesty, intelligence and industry aro internal growths, not external applications. Ergo: The schools are childly for thc pro motion of three forms of internal growth. 3, The schools arc childly for tho promotion of three forms of inter nal growth. All stich growth con sists in development. Ergo: Thc work of thc schools is chiclly a work of development. 4. Thc work of tho schools is chiclly a work of development. All works of development depend chief ly upon thc vigor and direction of their first stages. Ergo: The chief work of the schools depends ch ie Hy upon thc vigor and direction of its ti rsl stages. f). Thc chief work of the schools depends childly on the vigor and di rection of its lirst stages. The first stages of school work are conducted by primary teachers. Ergo: Thc chief work of the schools depends chiclly on that part which is demo by primary teachers. (5. Primary teachers do that part of a work of development upon which thc whole chiclly depends. In all works of development the part upon which tin; whole chiclly de pends requires tho greatest skill and carries thc heaviest responsibility. Ergo: Thc work of primary teach ers requires the greatest, skill and carries tho heaviest responsibility. 7. Primary teachers ?lo thc work which requires the greatest skill and carries tho heaviest, responsibility. Those who do such work should re ceive thc highest salaries, Ergo: Primary teachers should receive the highest salaries. 8. Primary teachers should re ceives tho highest salaries. Primary teachers do not receive tho highest salaries. Kryo: Some!bing's wrong. -Aristotle, Hoinco Was a True Hero. A largo crowd of people attracted my attention at G o'clock this even ing on Main street. On going clo ser I noticed that a number of men and women were surrounding a dog, which each and every one of tho crowd was anxious to lavish with at tention and endearing terms more appropriately bestowed upon a fa vorite child than upon an animal. "Conni herc, Konioe, my noble obi dog!" said one woman. "Give ino a kiss: there is a dear." "Ah, Romeo," said another, "it was a pity Johnstown bad not more such noble creatures as you are, and there would not be so many people dead here now." Thc ?log, a beautiful waler span iel, whoso fur was clipped so as to give liim thc appearance of il minia ture lion, stood as quiet and digni fied among thc people as if he un derstood each word addressed to him, taking J.he evidence of appro Tho Premiums.

A California Tragedy., ' ; ?iATimoi?, CAL., August 14.-Upon tho arrival of tho Southern overland train at 7:20 o'olook this morning, Associate Justico Stophon J. Fiold, of tho United States Supremo Court, and Deputy United States Marshal, Nagle, walked into tho dopot dining room for breakfast and sat down side by side. Soon afterwards Judge David S. Torry and wife (formerly Sorah Althea Hill) carno in. Thoy wore proceeding to nnothor tnble, whoo Mrs. Torry,, evidently recog nizing Justice Field, did not sit down but retired to thc train, Ucforo she reached it, however, and as soon as she had left thc dining room, Tielge Torry approached Justice Field, and stooping over him slapped his face. At this juncture Deputy Marshal Nagle arose from his' seat and shot Judge Terry through tho heart. As lie was falling tho Deputy Marshal 'ired al him again, irtit missed him, the bullet going through tho floor. Tho shots were fired in very quick succession. Judge Terry did not utter a word after being shot. He had hardly fallen when Mrs. Terry rushed to the side of his body and threw her solf upon it. Then ensued a scene of the wildest excitement. People rushed from tho dining room and others rushed in. During this timo Justice Field and Deputy Marshal Nagle retreated to tho sleeping car, where, they wero securely locked in. At times Mrs. Terry would call upon thc citizens to arrest them. Before the train pulled out Constablo Wal ker entered the sleeper and was car ried away on board tho train. He informed the crowd that bc knew bis duty and would perform it. During the time tho train was standing at the depot Mrs. Terry was running wildly, alternately from j the body of ber husband to the sleeper, demanding admittance that she might slap Justice Field's face, and at thc same time begging that they be detained and have their ex amination here. Previous to thc en trance of Constablo Walker into the sleeper Sheriff Purvis and his deputy of Stanislaus county had already taken charge of Deputy United States Marshal Nagle. After the shooting, Deputy United States Marshal Naglo backed up against tho wall of the dining room and warned every one not to arrest him, saying he was a United States oflicor in the discharge of his duty. There was no semblance of attempt to molest him at any time. Consta ble Walker took Deputy Nagle from thc train at Tracy and proceeded with him to Stockton, where he is now in jail. District Attorney White ordered the arrest of Justice Field upon his arrival at San Fran cisco, and telegraphed tho order to the Sheriff of San Francisco. The Southern Overland train ar rived at 10th street in Oakland shortly after ll o'clock this morn ing. A great crowd collected, tele graphic intelligence of thc Lathrop tragedy having preceded the arrival of tho train, aud tho sleeping car in which Justice Field was sitting WOF at once beseiged by United State.? officials and newspaper men. Jus tice Field maintained his quiet de meanor, and replied to a press rep resentative, when asked to narrate the particulars of the shooting, m follows : UI can tell you thc story in a foy words. For the last few months ali manner of reports, both uiblio mu" personal, have reached mc thai Judge Terry had threatened to sub jeoi me to some form of indignity i ho should happen to meet mc. Thif caused tho United States Marshal tc decide to prov ido such protection ni ho could during my slay in thc State. When I started for Loi Angeles to hold Court, Deputy Na gie accompanied mc. Ho seemed t( bc a quiet, gentlemanly official though I only met iiiin twice whih away from Los Angeles. Ile asker mo in that city when 1 intended t< return, and he nccom, mied me, tak ing a seat in the sleeping car oppo situ to mc. Wc heard this mornin? that Judge Terry and his wife wen on the train, but paid no attonlioi to tho fact. When we arrived a Lathrop wc entered the eating sta tion to get breakfast. I took a sea at thc end of thc table, while Nagh sat on ono side of me. Terry am his wife came in thc room soon after As soop os she saw me sho wen out of thc room, as I afterward learned, going to the car for ho satchel. Judgo Terry rose and suppose he intended accompanying her. Instead of doing so ho wnlkct bnck of mc, and struck nm a lieavy ?lap iii tim face. I wu? oonipl?tc?y astonished, and seeing lie was rendy to striko again Nagle cried out ?stop! slop 1' but Terry did not desist, and ns bc was raising ids arm n second timo Nnglo shot at him, the bullet entering his heart. Ho fell to thc tioor, Nnglo shooting a second time, but thc second shot did not striko him. Nnglo wns arrestod at Tracy, nud takon to Stockton to await the inquest. That is tho .complete story as far as I am nwnro of the fncts." Protection wns nccortled Justice Fiold, it is ; clnimed, by authority of United States, Attorney Gonernl Miller, who telegrnphed from Wash ington to the Movjdml of the District to sec that tho person of tho Justice wns protected at any hazard. The order extended also to Judge Saw yer, of tho United States Circuit Court in this city, upon whom Mrs. Torry mndo a personal assault last year while on a railroad train accom panied by Jud go Terry. The order was based upon this fact, and upon tho throats declared to hnvo been made openly by Torry against Jus tice Field. Deputy Marshal Nagle was directed to accompany Justico Field under this order, and is said to have given Judge Terry full warn ing to stop \vhen the latter began his attack on Justice Field, and tired at Torry ns the latter was about to strike the second time. Justice Field left thc Ovcriend train nt Oakland Ferry and drove at once to the Palace Hotel, where he was joined by his wife. He was not arrested, and the notice to the chief of police, claimed to have been sent by tho District Attorney of San Juan, if forwarded in that form, wns not carried out. Wonderful Wafer Tower. A correspondent of the Atlanta Constitu? tony in speaking of the wa ter-power on Savannah river, says: 'Jin these rivers ure hundreds of shoals and rapids, which will some day be thoroughly devVdbpftd, and then tho banks of this noble stream will bc lined with factories. Experts say between Anderson and what M'as once the nourishing town of Peters burg, a distance of fifty-five miles, th ero is enough water power to run tho machinery of tho entire South. For instance, nt thc mill Mr. Grady's party stopped for tho night, there is a ennui of only two hundred yards long, and it furnishes a fall of thirteen feet. A canal at tho foot of Trotter shoals as long as the one in Augusta would furnish a fall of one hundred and thirty-seven feet. The river along there will average nearly -100 yards.'* Judge Thomas M. Cooley recently refused a place that would pay him $26,000 a year, because it won id in volve his resignation of his place ort tho Railroad Commission created by Congress. In commenting on this ac tion, the New York Sim takes occa sion to .say : "Thus far, in spite of the fact that thc Commisison has never had a man of practical railroad knowledge among its members, it has been con ducted more successfully than was anticipated when the tribunal was established by Congress. Much of this success is attributed to the lef.nl ability, fair-mindedness and busincts capacity of the Chairman. Judge Cooley was favorably known among lawyers before he became a member of thc Commission ; but his .labors there have made him known to the whole nation ; and he himself ap preciates the honor which attaches to the office, and tho good which he can do by remaining in il, suflicienlly to regard his present, post as more attractive than any private employ ment even nt vastly higher pay. It is pleasant to lind so distinguished a man entertaining so high an estimate of honor which belongs to an impor tant and responsible ellice, and pre ferring to enjoy that honor rather than thc greater pecuniary gain ob tainable in private station." . - _^?^....

Thc Farmors' Movomont roprc icnts an element of tho pcoplo of .his State and principles of State policy believed to bc for tho advnn- . .age ofthat olomont, and, through it. >f tho whole pcoplo.

Some of the present itnto officers will probably stand foi* a'-clection; othors may ask for laces other than those they havo ccupiod; strong now mon will bo in lie field for several positions; ovory . eetion of tho State and every olass nd interest will bc represented in he list of candidates. All will tami on their merits and thoro will ie, wo think, a free, fair and open aco in which tho host mon will bo Icry likely to win. We shall look for somo tosts and isues.
