Qu?tttm gttt?flia?nm. Ti?A?ritR^CoLUMN, J. G. CLINKSCALES, EDITOR; STATE NORMAL INSTITUTE. What say the people of Anderson about having the State Normal School here this year? We have written to Col. Coward about it and spoken to Judge Murray, member of the State Board of Examiners. Mr. Murray favors it. It now remains to ascertain whether the citizens of Anderson want it, and if so, whether they are so much in earnest as to provide accommodations for the large number of teachers nod visitors that will come to the city. In a few days we pro pose to canvass the town and find out what accommodations can bc obtained. Mindful of the spirit of 6ut-.rprise that bas ever characterized tho people of An derson, we apprehend no difUculty ; ii, however, we should fail, it would bo ex tremely humiliating to have to report to Col. Coward that we misjudged our own people. We know that Anderson can accommodate douhlo that number of peo ple for douhlo tho length of time they stay, if she will, and wo bel?evo she will. It would he a paying investment iu more wayB than one. Besides the considerable amount of money left hero during thu month's sojourn of the teachers in our midst, the educating and elevating influ ence that their very preeenco will havo on the community at largo will bo of in calculable value. Many families that havo never taken boarders would do well to throw open their doors for ono month lo tho members of tho Normal Institute. Tho disintegrating influence of teflried intelligence upon the rough part? of n child's nature is very great. Of course, we do not intend to convey tho impress ion that every teacher attending the In stitute is highly educated and rcQued ; if that were thc case, there would bo no necessity for the Instituto ; we do unhes itatingly affirm, however, that that as semblage of persons is, as a class, con siderably above tho average citizen. But argument is unnecessary to convince the people of Anderson that it is important to have th? Institute here. Let us seo what can be done. Wo bavr. Ijufore us a copy of The Car olina Teacher, a monthly educational paper, published in Columbia in accord ance with the resolutions adopted by The Teachers' Association of South Carolina at its annual mooting in Spartanburg last AugtiBt. It is edited by Messrs. D. B. Johnson, B. lt. Turuipseed and L. B. Haynes, all gentlemen of culture and teachers of experience. Our State has long folt the need of such o paper, and we hope the teachers of Anderson will do their full ahare in giving it a henrty support. Tho aubscription price of the paper ia only one dollar per annum, and, if the copy before us is a fair specimen, a dollar invested for it will be money well spent. It is lamentable how little some teach ers know about tho work they aro en gaged in. They seem to content them selves with pouring iuto the child's mind a fear rules, names, dales and faots, com pletely ignoring the apparently unimpor tant lessons of promptness, ooatness nnd exactness, which are really of infinitely moro importance to tho child than any thing that can oe taught him about grammar or geography. Tho teacher's daily text book ought to be 'the character of his pupils. The workman ia not likely to succeed when he forgets entirely tho work he is doing. It were well if the work of making char acters were limited to tho black-board with some teachers ; unfortunately, they make characters in human beings. Prof. H. P. Archer, of Charleston, makes some forcible remarkB in The Car olina Thacher, on "Teaching as a Profess ion." , Mr. Archer elatina that no man should be allowed to leach in the ' public schools unless he Intends to make teach ing his life-work or profession. He de* counces the Idea of making teaching "a ateppi'ng-Btone to something higher." He claims that no mao who. does cap be a true teacher, inasmuch as he can't get bp the proper enthusiasm, "They are in tho profession," eays Mr. Archer, "but not of it; the spirit which actuates them 1* not the spirit of the true teacher ; they ecck pecuniary emolument only, and are governed hymotives of personal conven ience^" A man who is enthusiastic over bia work Is apt to do the beat work, but many teachers who never Intended to mako teaching their life work have done faithful, honest work. vVhcn.Mr. Archer claims that ever/ man ?rho does not' ex pect to make teaching bis life-work ought to bo rojectcd, .tie forgets that it Is possU ble'fo^foiw step ping etono'Jo Mtnothing higher" lo do much batter V;ork th nh another who ia a .professional teacher. It does very well for Mr. Archer, standing at tho bead of the Charleston schools with a salary, perhaps, of two or three thousand dollars, to talk about rejecting tbe applicant who . ' gives a negative answer to the question, "Dei you Intend tc make teaching your life-work ?" Ho doesn't know what mea* ger salaries oui' country teachers get, and that they have to sell their claims at ten per cent, discount at that. In the court* try tho profession is uot so Inviting. We are told that One of our teachers : ha? a good black-board, but never uses it My friend, you are asleep ; wake op. ? ' . --f-?-t?-~-' ; ?. We earnestly hope the Trustees in the respective Townships will keep ? correct record of their .work during tho year, aud at tb*^ e!oio <>l^^jfear make sm inteili* gear report tit tho same. Such' reports would certain!/ awaken a deeper Interest JD their work and be of very ?gmt aid to the Com missioner i n making out his an* giflai''.??port. Tho law relative to the dalle*' of School Trustees reads as fol ' lot?* ' (*1tti? Tru^i??; shall '-. meet aa i a' Board as soon nod often as I-IACUC-.ble aft*? having been appointed and quali ?ka,M t?i^ p}ui9 ac may be rnost con* <?M&B? iff tie districted at their f.nt, ; > ?*# ?hall oontoo by appoint lag of?e if ?&Ciir number Clerk of tte ijfetfitf,. I - cha?? preside *t tba official their proceedings in a book provided for that purpose. Kacb member of the Board of Trustees shall be duly notified of ali meetings by tho Clerk of tho Board." It also requires tho Trustees to visit euch school at least once in every school terra. We hopo tho Trustees will do their whole duty, and feel nssured that much good can bo accomplished hy their V?B?LH. It is a capital idea to teach your pupils the meaning and use of one or more words every day. Have them to write thc word on the black board ; theu anal yzo it, showing clearly all the part-, of which it is made up. These all clearly impressed on the minds of thc* pupils, make them write Hcuteucea using the word correctly. One-half hour a day given to an exercise of this kind would, no doubt, be of very great benefit to both teacher and pupils. AH over thc County tho schools aro full, some of them too full. The colored schools are full to overflowing in tomo townships. Let the Trustees look after them. We like the wuy tho Trustees in Hope well do business. They have repaired the school houses, bought new desks, and otherwise provided for the comfort of the children. The proper step in thu right direction. How many of our teachers would at tend thc .Stale formal litnlituto if held in Anderson this year? THE WHISK*: HABIT. How nu Old T?|ior Overcame Ills Appetite fur Whisky. A novel idea in the uso of intoxicating stimulants carno to tho notice of a Call reporter yesterday in tho case of an old friend, who some time ago wus the living Kerson Mention of the old, old story of a rilliant mind clouded from tho effects of intoxicants. In his start in lifo this friend had bright prospecta for a grand future. Tho appetite for liquor, however, increased upon him to such nu extent that he was soon almost entirely incapac itated for work. Ho rapidly went down hill, und all efforta to rouse him lo a sense of his degradation were futile. Tho reporter Inst saw him in thia condition over a year ago. Uno day last week ho met a sprueo und well dressed mun who boro a resemblance to this friend, but whom he did not recogui/.o until tho individual threw out his hand and calle ! tho reporter by name. "I suppose you hardly know me," ho said, a smile wreathing his health bloom ing face. Tho reporter admitted that ho at first had hardly been able to, aud then becoming confidential, us old friends do on meeting, ho soon learned the cause of tho change. "YeH," said tho friend, "I used to bo a very hard drinker, ns you know. I tried several times to quit, but could not. The appetite for strong drink waa too much fur mo. If I went without it for awhile I becatno a nervous wretch. I bad to drink or dio. A thought was suggested to mo ono day, though, und I mudo up my mind to make one supremo effort to rescuo myself. I reasoned this wny : A m.-o iakea liquor into his stomach, and Ihe -aim ol ant, through the blood, affects the brain. Now, I thought if I could satisfy my appetite without the liquor affecting my brain, 1 would be all right. If I could got the tasto of the liquor, the aroma, the essenco of ii, without tnking it into tho ntomacb, I know I could drink at pleasure and not become intoxicated, as drunkenness could uot ensue if tho liquor did not enter the stomach. I say this idea was suggested to me, and it wns in Ibis way : I had noticed that men who made a business of buying and selling wines in largo quail titics sampled them and ascertained their quality ?.?id bouquet by taking two or thrso mouthfuls in succession, rolling it around their tongues, as one might say, bathing their palate in it-in short, subjecting it to tho severest tests by ibo orgnns of taste-and then ejecting it from the mouth without swallowing any. Tho remembrance of this enmo upon me one day when I was perfectly sober but terribly despondent. I resolved to try it. I did, and have met with the moat grati fying success. You may laugh, but it ia lue solemn truth. I took a large driuk of liquor, but instead of letting it pass into my stomach 1 clucked it in my throat and gargled it for a minute, and then spat it out. To my joy I found my thirst for it almost as much appeased an though I had swallowed tho liquor. I tried it again and again, with the Bame effect. I was not mnde drunk. I have followed this plan ever since, aud have not been drunk since, although I have gargled the liquor, never swallowing a drop, as many ns a dozen or more times a day-the same number nf drinks I used to take. The plan ia a very simple one, and is, I believe, tho only one for a s'ave to the cup." "Has your appetite increased ?" "On tho contrary, it bas decreased. By the means I adopted my bralu bas become clear and strong again, and my will power is as good salt ever was before I became a hard drinker. In gargling the liquor I got all the benefit of the flavor, and all the satiafaotion to my appetite, without losing my senses." San lYttncitco Call. ? The Thigh Bono of a Mastodon. . Among the many curious and interest ing objecta in the office of Dr. F. L. Frost, President ol tho Ashley Phosphate Company, is an immense thigh bone of one of that gigantic and now entirely esl inc t animal, the mastodon. The bone lu its present slate ia thirty three and a half inches in length, and when in its natural conditition muat have been fully three abd a half feet in length. It was brought to Dr. Frost'* office by Mr. N. CT. Oateen, the editor and proprietor of the Sumter Watchman and Southron. Mr. Citren found il almost burled in the marsh at the head of a creek which cu.plies ipto Bulla Bay;, his attention being called to it by a countryman whose children .had commenced to cut it .up. mistaking it for a piece of wood, and littte dreaming that lt was the remains of en animal: at which, were one still living, the entire world would gnxe lo awe and wonder. Dr. Frost will have tb? marsh lo the neighborhood of the spot where this bone was found searched in tho hope of finding other portions of tho mastodon's skeleton. Mr. Cateen had determined to present this specimen to the Charleston College Museum as soon as ibo curator, Dr. Manigault, re* tamed from New Orleans, and lt would have proved a valuable addition to the museum, and aa such would harte been greaMy appreciated. But. a; Dr. Frost's earnest request Mr. Osteeh concluded to let h i m retain it. It is hoped, however, that Dr. Frost's public spirit will prove stronger than his v?ry natural desire to po.?sfc.-<i so fin? an evidence of the antedi* luvlan origin of hie business, and that the mastodon's thigh bone will, after all, find ila fitting resting, place ie one of Dr. Manigftult's glass casts.-Nein and OourUr. f ' \* m'\ ' 'i - aaasaaaja-asaj , - "Very cold last night, Mr. Town* asnd." observed the reporter.

A Dead Shot Willi a Itevolrer And Very Fond of . Fight. AB?MKE, TJ:X.. Jan. 30-Maud Ray nor, the woniun desperado, lb in jail IQ this city for uetaull. She ia wanted in a dozen place?, and had several complaints aguinst her before the one on which she is now held was lodged, She lived here quietly until a woman who wan jealous of her revealed her identity to thu police. Aa soon us alie fouud that abe wu* nu object of suspicion ?ho attacked her enemy with a club and almost beat her brains out Maud Raynor has been a notorious character in this State, thc Indian Territory and Kansas for aoveral yearn. She gained thc title of woman desperado by reason of her recklessness o? human life and her fondness for fights. She goes armed to the teeth, shoots with unerring aim, ami is quite UH much at home with a howie knife or a club ns with a revolver. She lins managed to escape arrest hitherto hy reason of the fact that nil manner of stories concerning her hnve been in circulation, and her actual appearance is very diff?rent from the idea w hich the people generally have formed of her. She is of compact framo and about medium height, with a grace ful carriage. Her features are small, her eyes steel gray, and her hair long and ubtindant. In jail to day she wa- raving because her keepers hail taken away her pistols and knives. ''I suppose I'll never see them again," she Hiiid. "When you get into one of theso calubushes they ulwaya help them selves to what you've got, and whether you're neut up or not they keep all they steal. I'll bet I've furnished half the sherilTs in Texas and Kansas with good weapons in the hint five years. They don't get money enough together nt one timo to buy such things, but. they know just enough to piuch them when they get a chance. I played it on a detective up here in the l'anhnudlo once. Ile hud been following me for about a month, mid finally when he got me he took two guns and three knives away from me. I saw his eyes hiing out as he looked ul them, and I anya to him : "'You'll be well heeled now won't you ? "Lie pretended that bc didn't care anything about the weapons, and showed mo soma of his old firecracker pistols, and wanted me to admire them. 1 told him one of my guiiH was worth a bag full of hi-*, and niter getting him a little excited I grubbed ono of my weapons to show tl to him. I pointed out several of thc good points, mid then turning it on him I said : " 'I want to seo your heels right lively now.' "Ile thought I was fooling foru second, but when the pistols clicked ho knew it was business. Then he backed off, ?ind wanted to Irado with mc. I had his guns and mine, too, but I told him I wasn't trading. Just lo hurry him up a little I sont a bullet mighty close to his ear, and u moment later us he wai edging oil' I put another ono near enough to his other ear to singe his hair. Such run ning you never saw. I wutchsd him out of sight. Then 1 took his gun? and threw Hiern into tho river. I wouldn't have been found demi with them on me." Maud Kaymo went through the Indian Territory once with about a regiment of Indiana nod white men on her trail. She had bren up ul n ranch on the Arkansas river, where a picut many desperate characters wero congregated, mid iu n shooting affray in which she took a prominent purl the bnrlender was killed. Every mau swore Ihal the wo man waa tie guilty party, and she reck lessly adm tied it, though it is probuble she wns not the real offender. Some friends of the murdered man came along just then, and organized to lynch her. (Jetting wind of the programme, she stole a horse, and set out for Kansas, the men following. Several Indians joined the pursuing party ut various places, until finally there were about a hundred men ou her trail. She managed to clue them for several day?, and coming finally upon a band of chivalrous cowboys, she mado them believe she was a persecuted inno cent. Her new-found friends promptly agreed to defend her against all comers, and when her pursuers came in sight they were met by n ve'ley which brought them to a stand. Io the .-ourse of three or four days they concludtd to abandon tho senrch. The exploit of which shu is proudest occurred a year or more ago in the Indian territory. She had.been up in Kansas on tho warpath, and making hor way back to Texas had fallen in with a rough crowd of plainsmen. One nf these was a man named Dutton whom oho had known many years before. In the course af an evening passed at a ranch on thc cattle trail, she had a quarrel with thie fellow, and after sotno harsh words ht rushed at her with a knife. She was too quick for him. He had hardly got ?ti striking distance before Bhn pul a bullet through his heart. As be jumped in thc air a '.ul fell back dead his comrades nuuk a rush at the woman, and would huv< finished ber then and there if one of thc men had not taken ber part in a mild sort of a way. As they slopped to par ley, she made thia proposition : "I'll fight the whole pack of you, on? at a time. I killed that man, and I'n gliul of it. I ought to have done lt year ago." Oue man went out with her, and tin two stepped off twenty paces, turned ant fired, The man gol a bullet in ht shoulder, and wanted to quit. The wo man was'unhurt. Standing there reso lutely she called on the others for a vic lim, but no one stirred. Then she tauntei them, and finally, when she found tha they were not disposed io annoy he further, she said : "Now I'm going to Texas, and I wan an escort. Row many of you are guim with me?" They all agreed to go but two, and ti those two she addressed herself, saying "You're just the ones that I want ti go with me, and you've got to go too." The others rathe- enjoyed the aporl She nover took her pistols off them for minute. They got her hnrse out of th corral, mounted their own, and at he command rode on in front of her. Whe she had driven then! ten or fifteen mile the made them turn back, while she rod on toward the South. Unless the woman ls convicted for tl ???ault committed hy her in thia city th other day, it ts not believed that ehe wil be punished for any of her other offer tes. -_ _ _ Could Drive With Ono Hand.

"our mew" found a needle-case which bad belonged to ?onie poor fellow, prob ably among the killed. Ile did not place niurh value upon the coulent-, iilthough there wad a paper of number eight needle*, l?verai button*, and a dcein or two of thread, cut at each end and neatly braided, so that each thread could be smoothly drawn out. He put the whole tbing in his bre-st pocket,and thought no more about it. Hut one day, while out foraging fir himself and bin mess, he lound himself near a house where money could have procured a fine meal of fried chicken, corn pone and buttermilk bedtlci a ?mall supply to carry back to camp. Hut Confederate Moldier-)' punes were generally as empty as their stomachs, and, in this instance, the lady of tho house did not oiler lo give away her nice dinner. While the poor fellow was inhaling the Enticing odor and feeling desperately hungry, a girl rode up to the gate on horseback, aud bawled out to another girl inside the house : "O, Cindy I rid over lo nee if you couldn't lend me a needle. I broke the hint one I had lo day, and pap says thar ain't nary 'Dottier to be bought In the country hereabouts." (.'indy declared idie was in tho name lix und couldn't finish lier new homespun dren* for tbe Kaine renton. The soldier just then had an idea. He retired to a little distance, pulled out hit* cate, and stuck two needles in the front of his jacket, tben went back ?md offered one of them, with his best bow, to ihe girl on thc horse. Hight away the lady of the house offered to trade for the one remaining, and tbe result was a plentiful dinner for bimself, ami, in consid?rai ion ol a thread or two of silk, a full haver sack and canteen. After this our mess was well supplied, and our forager began to look sick and fat. The secret of hit* nueces* did not leak out until long after ward, when he astonished the boys by rieclnring that he "btid been living like a fighting cock tin a paper of needles and two skeins of silk."-Thc Bivonac. - New Vork City is said to contain 5,000 disciples of the hot water cure, who drink waler almost boiling bot every morning before breakfast.
