Thus both the executive and Ugislalive department of Iho government nre in accord on Ibis question. The obstructing power is not the Senate, but a minority of Senators, led by Populists. Next consider the Democratic press of the country. It is ovsrwheltningly for repeal. There are some exceptions in the South and West, but they constitute a small minority. , _ Now, as to the Democrats qf-jtha-dJpitsd ventions have been hold in a num "ofl States since the issue of repeal became urgent, and not one of (hem declared against the policy of tlie President.

At tliu Democratic Htnie ooDTontion, held sevorul duys ago, the Silver quoet'on was the main issue nnd Mr. Bryan led hie forcea in pcrsau nnd asked an endorsement of his course in fighting repeal in tho House. Tho verdict of the convention was unmistakable. Tt defeated Mr Bryan's caudidato for chairman by a vote of three to one, refused Mr. Ilryun a place on the cornmittpo on roso'.utions by a volo of 875 to 118, and adopted by a four-fifths,vote tho following financial plank : "We, tho representatives of the Potnocratic party in Nebraska, in Hlate convention assembled, send party greetings to onr President.

TKR1LI.INU SCENES AT OI.ll T It ITER TOM'S UA tilt AMP THE MOUNTAIN MEAlmW MAKSAUUK. When the Indians creeps up r.n 1 set tire t< jioor old Trupi^r Tain's cohin, in l'awnet Hill's II istorio Wild West, the hearts of tin multitude of spectators s'ami sti'I, for the _ tlioiualism of thu whole ntliiir is so startling and vivid that it is hard to believe that it b only a more representation of what lias taken place in the far West in the days gone by. Then, too, the rapid return of the messenger with succor, in the person of Pawiioo Hill at the head of the daring American Cow boy a, sends a wild sense oi rolief through the bosoms of the vast audience mid tills willi satisfaction the souls of thoso who suppose 1 poor Tom was dead ami gone, aud that they would never see him gain. Tins, and the weird scenes of h'oodshccd at tho Mountain Meadow Massacre, contain many incidents which are far mere descriptively eloquent than the blood curdling romances one reads in the weekly story papors. because the exhibitions given Pawnee Hill's chiefs, brave, cowboys, vaqucros, and others, are far superior to the i fin imaginings of the writers of sai l r minces. l'ownee Hill's battles and onslaughts are so nearly real that it is hard to believe them more reproductions. The riding of tlie cowboys, the desperate rushes of (ho iiidinns on their ponies, the hold insults ho v, _ -v . . .'.7, mi.I the extraordinarily hki 11 fi11. and one in I'll t say genuine, use of the lasso on Hying horsemen, nil tend lo color the events with n realism that is absolute.

To Mr. Joseph Bryan, Editor of the Times, ho Richmond, Va.,?Sir: I have your letter of iat this date through the hands of my friend, se Capt Cunningham Hall, who for reasons xt most honorable to himself, and satisfactory to me, now withdraws from the corresponds dcnce, and this note wdl be handed you by 19^ \I >1 WlllldArt I *l,rt^.VAU in c"rI9"a,1> which oT course I cannot consider h and herewith re uru to you, Aa you refuse ' " to retract the objectionable reference to me which nppearel in the Times of the 27th, 1 have now only to ask that you will accord , nie the redress which obtains atnoeg gcntle1 men. Believing that you will do this, 1 ask that you will do me the f ivor to suggest to my brother that the name of some one of your friends, who will confer with liirn nnd arrange for a meeting. I have the honor to be your obcdicut servant, i' Jefferson Wallace. " To the above Mr. Bryan sent this reply: Richmond, Va, Oct. 7. To Jefferson Wallace, Esq., Richmond, Va. * Sir: 1 have just received your note of the 4th, instant by the ban Is of your brother Mr. C. M. Wallace.

This being a challenge to fight a duel 1 have no hesitation in decliog to accept F it for tho following rensons : First, 1 profess and try to be a Christian, 9 and the idea to such an one of settling a 5 controversy bv a duel is utterly abhorrent. Second. 1 am a 1 iw-abiding citizen and in every way, personally and as the lievl of " the Times, iucuica-c obedience to the law of the land, which you know condemns as a criminal the course you invite me to pursue. J Third. The method you suggest for obtain ing redress from me is in itself absurd and ( s barbarous and no longer "obtains" among ( 9 gentlemen, and never should have done so. , Fourth. Von have not the least cause of j - just complaint against me. Your pretended ( csuse of compla nt growing out of some statement to n report of the proceedings of j tho citv Demoorat'c commit'ec by a reporter { of the Times, which appeared in the local ( columns of that paper, was. with npproba- j I tion and aitl of your friend, Capt.

Christian, and his conclusiou was that you had been correctly l .ported, were the ( t author of your own position, and that you s were entitled ,o no reparation through the columns of the Times as you had demanded, p I cannot at your request assume the re- , sponsibili'y f r the natural ouscqneuce of , your own errors of judgment and intetnper- )k ance of language and make such 'amends' . as you think would soothe your wounded c vanity.

It ia irralifuincr In ntxprvfl a erosinf ten ency among our educators to advise and ncourage the study of English and Amerian literature in the common schools. Heretofore, while many have recognized its im>ortance, and have taken great pains to oulivate a taste for good reading, yet it has infortunately been regarded by sotno rigidly procticai teachers as a comparatively use's* stndy, consuming valuable time which night be employed to better purpose. It is ;a?y and natural for children of well informed parents to drtft into the correct channels in this respect. They are taught from- iha*iimc they, fan read intelligently tc cultivate u fondness for such books as Scott'< Tales of a Grandfather," "Waverly novels,' etc., while later on their educational ad vantages and the companionship and oxarn pie of well rea l and intellectual peoplo, rcn der tlieoi capable of appreciating Dickons, Thackeray, Bulwer, and the treasures of the inimitable Bard of Avon. As before s'ated however, it is not with these that the difli culty lies. It is in reaching that class win obta<n their liierary information simply ami so'cly from the school which they attend and who are otherwise almost entirely de pendent upon their own judgment nud gui danco in the matter of literary food. It i easy to sec that the few miscellaneous book which sometimes constitute the.home librar (often 9clectedJon account of their giy ant g'lded biniing, without reference to cor tents,jfor wi'h some, as Byron aptly observe "A book's a book, although there's notbin in it") arc not calculate! to assist iu cstal lishing a taste for healthful and instructs reading. It has been said that newspapci are great eduoitrr*. So they are, but iher are "newspaf ers and newspapers," or i other words sotne are go id nod sonto are ba ani inexperienced young people are n< always capib'c of discriminating. Indcei wo cannot be too careful regarding ill books lo which cbi;dren have access. Iniag native young pcop'c are generally fond < thrilling stories of adventure, and, withoi proper guidance, are in danger of acrjuiriii the habit of reading trash. It is painful sec a young person roaniiug at random amot the literature with which the country tiooicd. knowing no appreciable difforem between authors, except that some wri tbrilliugly while others seem dull and dt posed to moralize If disposed to be fot of books, a taste cither for the good < trashy ones will sioa be framed. How this to be avoided ? In what manner can ingte for good literature be iqstilled in to answer. Of coarse there Vs mo?o thatToi way in wliich it can be taught; but what the best way ? It is apparent that the me; study of a text book on English and Ainer can literature, even when accompanied l occasional suggestions as to a course of reac ing, cannot accomplish all that could be de sired in this respect. It is necessary i some instances to overcome home influence or rather the absence of home influences i this regard. The child should be so carvfitllj taught and guarded as to be capable?eve when very young?of appreciating to som extent the vast difference between good an trashy books. I think that every schot should have a good library from which eac pupil, at proper times, under the advice an guidance of the teacher, could select book to be carried borne and read during leisur hours. Skaton. - THE STUDY OF ENGLISH. Few subjects aro so profitable a schoc exercise as the study of English, because i involves all the other studies, and best n nil, it develops mental power. Englisl should be studied in speech, in writing, an< in literature. Any goud book is literaturi in n sense ; the wtiting to he studied is wha the pupil do themselves, their own writing the speech to be studied is what the pupi says, and every pupil should he induced U talk a great deal nnd to talk well. This study cannot be relegated to any out i;rndc of school; it must be made prominent in every grade if the pupils are to acquire n :omround of the lunguage. llence every teacher should be especially interested in his study, whatever attention may be given to others. No one can con be a good teacher in this branch of study who is not a constant itudent of it; and the student, both teacher tud pupil, must not only read much good iterature, hut he must study it critically, ind for the best results he must acquire the tabit of writing. A teacher of English must )e a writer of English also, for practice is vhat gives proficiency. In order to teach s?ny writing, one must know how essays ire written, and he cannot know this tliormghly till he has written them, in some imply forin at least, himself. If the tenclmr is careless about his own anguage, he will not be likely to improve hat of his' iiul lis.

N > one hotild pretend to be an infallible example ) his pupils, though he ought to be far uperior to them. The spirit of the true faclier in this branch of stu ly more than iu ny e ther, is that of a learner: and if the aclier makes a mistake or is in error, as ho i sure to be, only less frequently than the upil, he cotilA encourage his pupils to c >r:ct him, and be glad of the corrections, ice he himself is thus improving, and nee the criticism which the pupil makes is le lest evidence of good teaching; and lore is no danger that the teacher's superiity will not be recognize! if he is really iperior. As the care of the teacher about his own ngtiage will show itself in the language of C pupils just as his manner, his spirit, and e tone of his voice will he reflected in the lildrcti, so his real inierct in litcnture, in ' I good writing will be communicated to cm.
