Somehow or oilier she dropped behind and the old Democratic liorso sailed in ahead of her and kept going at n lively nnd staying c inter. Then it wits that Irby and friends thought it might be a little safer to change horses ; so they liegnu to di-niiouiit from "Dealt Maid" and clamber up iu a very awkward way on old "Jefferson," the Dciuocrn'ic liorse.

B The importance of lirihging together pupils . of nearly equal attainments into one clsss. I in each of the subjects taught, is recognized ^ hy all. The ptactical question for teachers e to consider is. "llow slinll the c'nssificiitioii I he made, so ns to secure the greatest good to the greatest number, nud at the same time j encourago to the grcnte-t extent, or rather, e discourage to the least extent, the natural ^ prftpcpyjtitf - ?-1 wli>i<?CR Of fVClt tlKtUlil* e ua'?" To nccom| li-li these ends it is evident Hint those only wli# know the needs, capacities, and requirements of the pupi's should make the c'asMticaiion. The result of a single examination, or of any number of examinations, nlone should not determine the class r into which pupi's should go. The age, health, habits, and purposes cf the pupil should be considered in determining his place : the only question being, "Where can the pupil do the most for himself?" A close classification might make nil the 8 pupils of a self ol recite in the same classes ? in nil studies. There are certainly advan. tages in this p'au; but it is a question whether it may not be well sometimes to allow pupils to recite in a higher or lower cl*sj, in one or two studies. For example, 1 a boy ib by nature or by stu ly further advanced in arithmetic than in rending and 1 geography. If he his but a limited time to 1 attend echool, it would seem right to have * bim ricite with one class in reading and 5 geography and with another in arithmetic. B Again, there are occasionally pupils who, * by reason of wrnkness or ill health, cannot c take all the studies taught in the school. Such pupils should be allowed to omit one or more of the regular studies, and even be f excused ftom school attendance, except when 6 their classes arc reciting. There is, of cours?, danger in such irregt u'a'ity of chvsificatinn, and the number of cases must he limited, but there are instances when it is not only justifiable, but necessary 8 for the best interest of the pupils. . . ?

Greeoville, Miss.. my present home, is th? county sint of Washington county, said to b? one of the oldest in po:nt of settlement, and l?rge*t in area of the counties of the State. The people here cUiin that they hate, in land, the richest county in tlio world. It lies between the Yazoo nnd Mississippi rivers, and is known as the Yazoo Delta. In this county the large Hampton plantation in h-cntcd, nod I ant proud to say that out here, the name nnd fame of the ''grand old Carolioa hero of'70" ore laved, hoaared and revered, as they should be all over the Slate in whose behalf he shed his -bio >d, and to whose advancement bo has given the better days of h's manhood. Near here "Dahomy," the largest o: the many plantation* of the estate of the world-rrnnwncd cotton planter, "Ned UicharJs in," is b'cated. Many of the largest and finest plantations of the State are in this county. The land is level, the soil black and r;ch, and does not need commercial fertilizers. The farmers here are in the same boat with thoss in South Carolioa, behind, causril ^ by the low price of cotton and overflows by fl the river, the last three years. Up to this ^ writing, the firmers c'ftim the brightest out' look for three years past. The city of Greenville is located on thet hank of the Missi-sippi river, and said to be: oti the highest point of land between Momphis nnd Vicksburg. One of the best rights' to the claims made for (he p'nee, both as tohea tli and prosperity, is found in the ex-istencc of the city. One ctn scarce believe: The statements matte by some of the oldest" antl most substantial citizens, regarding theloss of property by the changing of the river. Standing on the levee in company with one of the older citizens a few days: sicce, lie remarked to me that the river had. taken off $35,000 worth of his property, lie sa d when lie came here, thirty years ago, the bed of the river was two nii'es west of its present site, that the bank had raved. on the east und filled in on the west until it had reached its present hod. The planta- \ ions that he bought when he first catne here hud all been taken away by the river. Then pointing io an old house nrar hv, he said, "When that building was put up, twenty-five years ago, it was pdaced on the extreme eastern limit of ihe town, now it is within fifty feet of the water's edge." It is the nearest house to the river on the west side of the ni t v v,v From nil thnt 1 can gnther, I am safe In saying that there arc not tweniy-tive houses s'nnding that were constructed insej^ the town limits 20 years ago. (ireenvi le has given back from the ri*cr, but she h-ia cont nurd 10 Keep up life and growth all through* ibese years. As to buildings, it is a new. place, built up in the la-t ten or twelve' years. The | eople are now confident that, there will be no more caving. The U. Sv ' government has spent hundreds of tbeusan?N of dollars in putting in mattresses to atop the caving, which seems now to be a success. The city was overflowed in 1800, tbo only time within its hi-tory, but it gave the piano "the blncic eye." Many moved away ; not so mnny have moved in ai in the few preceding yeais. But there is life, push an 1 eucrgy here, ami the citizens are looking for a general return of growth aud development. They tell uic that if one lives here for a time, he will never care to leave. The ci'y is we'l and regularly laid out; -the streets are broad, and in dry weather they are tine, but in wet weailier very bad- The mud here lins in it the elements that compose the stickiral stirk of any mud wiili which 1 ever came in coutnct. It is hard for a sober man to keep his head and heels from changing places. The bu-iness houses are large and substantial buildings. We have many elegant homes. The public buildings are of modern design. The courthouse, Hearing completion, is the most substantial building thnt 1 ever saw. It is built of Alabama brownslone? tire proof, there being but little wood about it. It cost $00,000. The furniture cost $10,000, and is the handsomest 1 ever saw in a public building. The public boarding house, attached to the cour house, is ol" modern des go, and cost $"i0,000. We have a very fine public school building, well located and splendid'y equipped. There is it largo commercial business c?rrictl on here. We have two large cotton compress*?, ??o cotton ?ced oii mill plmts, a large lumber and milling business, ice factory, branch of the Armour packing house, electric plant, street railway, and will soon have w iter works. In ilie line of traffic there are fine facilities ^01 by the rai1 roads centering hers, and al"o the liver. There are three papers publi he 1 here. The p ipulatiou is about 8,000? mixed, bully mixed.
