So great was the ex citement that all of farmer Tillman’s resolutions came near being adop ted as a whole, without even discus sion. Everything introduced by Mr. Tillman was taken to be right, as a matter of course.

The de fects of those methods and the reme dies for them will be pointed out by wise and practical farmers, and dis seminated among the people by the prp»is of tjje State. It will probably glso havp another good result in demonstrating how little that conven tion, in some of its political senti ments, represented the farmers of South Carolina. From the Fahnettu J'ost.

Itosenfetd being a spy, they had driven him from the neighborhood and were now doing tlieir best to demolish the build ing which gave him shelter. Later in the day a big deep chested, red mouthed anarchist—an English man*—stood at the corner of Evergreen and Leavitt streets haranguing a mon proposed to organize an army of socialists to march upon AA’ashing- ton and capture the treasury, which was to be distributed among the people. This and several other communica tions from anarchists had much to do with bringing about the riots.

August Spies, the editor of the Ar- l*r Zeituitg, is very changeful in men who have never as yet failed to control tlie polities of Georgia, and the result of the pending ejection will fjecide whether the people or a small band of political w ire pullers at the Capitol shall rule our State.

Since the day that Joseph E. Brown was seated in tlie United States Senate over the de cided protest of our representatives in the Legislature, he has been the head centre of a coalition of influential politicians, organized for the purpose of controlling theaffairs of our State, and the success of this rjtig has been most wonderful.

The Limit of Liberty. New York Herald {hid.) Asa people we t derate every kind of vagaries, A man may with inpunity large room for Improvement, espe cially in our country schools. Teach ers, as a general thiug, iu their effort to train tlieir pupils to read correctly and fluently, st'em to lose sight of the far more important object, namely, to make the child interested in the sub ject matter of its lessons, and to stiniu late within it a desire to read from other resources than that of the text book. Now,in a town, very few child ren need such a stimulus. From the libraries, picture books, gaudy adver tisements, etc, they become fascinated enough with tlie delightful accom plishment. There the trouble lies in e luenting them up to a taste for whole some literature. In tlie country, how ever, matters are different. Here, the scarcity of books and papers, bad lights at night and separation from the current news of tlie day, all servo as a damper to any latent de sire to road. Witli tlie same school advantages in proportion to their ages, I believe that an average town boy or girl of twelve years can read better and more understaudiugly than the average country boy of six- teennnd nil for the want ot interest and practice in tlie latter case. Apart from the advantages to be derrived from reading, in itself, it lias been my experience and no doubt, tbe exper ience, of every teacher, that those pu pils who have the greatest fondnew for reading—reading at home—are the most proficient in tiieir other studies, 'flic reason of this is quite obvious. The mental j lowers are kept in constant exercise, a vocabulary 1- acquired, and the nature of she words and the structure of sentences ar? bet ter understood, all of which leads to a more ready comprehension of graui- mcr and mathematics in one oMny grammer classes there was a hoy, about sixteen years old, who, after he had recited a few let- sons, astonished me very much by tlie ease with which he mastered the du ties assighed. Tno textbook used was “Reed and Kellogg's Higher Gram mer,“and though this Ihiv was going through the work for tlie first time, yet in tlie. analyses of sentences he never failed to detect tlie most deli cate shades of meaning involved, and exceedingly seldom w as it that lie re- Fcliow teachers, endeavor to make your pupils interested in good reading so that they will read at home. ' This will stir up tiller dormnut eiiergles.and make thorn anxious to excel!. It is true, as I have said before, that there area great many drawbacks In the 1 country to the accomplishment of this end, yet much good can be doue with persevenmee. In n»v “visiting round,“as wo pedagogues call It,l find that the average library of my rand friends consists of about a half d izen books and os I glance at the title, I can rend between the linett of most of them, “Book Agent, Book Agent, Book Agent,” and in these titles I be held more substance, than upon the leaves of the volumes to which they belong. Then, *110 thing for a teacher to do is to try to interest his or herputnuiii upon the subject of reading and pre vail upon Miein to subscribe to some suitable paper for their children tnrpur chase for them suitable liooks. Then we should talk to tlie children u|mn the s ihject iu school, read to them the most interesting selection* that can be found, and draw liberally upon one’s own stoek of common Judgement for other avt How it Begin*. Morning Afar. “Give mea halfpenny and you may pitch at oneof these rings, ami if it catches over a nail, I'll give you three pence.” That seemed fair enough; *0 the boy handed him a halfpenny and t ick the ring. He stepped back to tlie stake, tossed tlie ring, and it o.mglit 011 one of tho nails. “Will you take six rings to pitch again, or threepence?” “Threepence,” was tlie answer, ahd the money was put in his hand. Ho stepped oti, well satisfied with what he had done, and probably not having an idea that be hud done wrong. A gentleman standing near him watch ed him, and now, before he bad time to look about and rejoin Ids compan ions laid his hand on his shoulder “My lad, this is your first lesson in gambling.” “Gambling, sir.” “You staked your halfpenny and won six halfpence did you uot?” “Yes, I did.” “You did not earn them, and they were not given to you; you won them just as gamblers win money. You have taken the first step in tlie imth; that man bus gone through it, and you can see the end. Now, I advise you to go and give his threepence back, and asked bin for your halfpenny, and then stand square with the world, au. honest boy.” He had hung ids head down, but raised it very quickly, and his bright tqien look, as he said, “I’ll do It,” will not soon be forgotten. He ran back, and soon emerged from the ring, look ing happier than ever. Ho touched his cap and bowed pleasantly, a* ha ran away to join his companions.
