SCHOOL BOOKS.
The Ktowee Courier, of thc 5th itiHt.,
after quotiug an extract from the Abbe
. ville Medium, makes a strong plea for
the old text books of twenty, thirty ami
forty years ago. They plead stoutly for
"Webster's Elementary Spelling Hook''
and "Smith's Hnglish Grammar," ami
would lead one to infer that they confider
these books equal, if nut superior, to any
of their successors, While we admire
the zeal manifeBttd by these gentlemen
in their defense, of the time honored obi
text books, we mint beg to differ in our
opinion ns to the comparative merits ol
the old nud the new. lie it far (rom us
to deprecate any uf thu good done by
either of the booka mentioned. Some ol
the happiest recollections of our school
daya are inseparably associated with the
very two books io question. We eau
realize now almost our exact feelings
when we got to "Ha ker," and can sec
tho word no'" as it stands at the begin
ning of the .irst lino on thc right hand
page of the book. And often have we
laughed at the alacrity with which the
boy in the back part of tho book came
down tho tree when persuaded by the
forcible logic of tbe earnest old farmer,
With tbeso carly impression? fustcned
upon us, we find it difficult to lay aside
our prejudices laug enough to make a
fair criticism of cither the old or the new
text books. Tho Medium speaks of the
valuable lemons taught lu Webster's
famous old book, and alludes to thu fact
that 1,000,000 copies arc sold annually as
positive and unmistakable evidence ol' its
popularity and merit. Is he quite sure
that tho woodcrhtlly large sale of the
book ia not rather an evidouee of blind
ing pr?judice and a want of progress und
appreciation of merit in other books?
And are there nut truths equally striking
and equally beautiful in many of the
series of readers now o Herod to the chil
dren of the laud? We think so. Of
course a child may be taught to read by
keeping him hammering away ut Web
ster's old speller long enough, bi t isn't
the arrangement, tho graded steps, in
the various series of reade m much bettor
adapted to the wants and nature ol the
child? Do the pictures of the dogn aud
geese and cowa mean uuthing ? Ol' what
use are object lessons, upon which so
much stress is laid by the best educators
of today? Certsinly great progress has
been made in the art of school teaching,
and, aa a consequeuce, progress has been
made ia the art of writing school books.
Smith's Grammar bas nerved ?ls day;
and it served it well. Many of the
brightest intel o-ts in ourcoun ry ?tudied
no other; but dues that fact urgue in its
favor to the extent of discarding all
others? Does tbe fact that the Rev. J.
L. Kennedy, who educated many of thc
ablest men not only of our owu State
but of other States, taught Smith's Gram
mar justify the couulusiou that that
grand old scholar would, if alive to day,
still hang tenaciously to that old book ?
We dare say that if Mr. Kennedy were
here to day, with all the vigor and ener
gy of his palmy dsys, Smith's Grammar
and Webster's Speller would not be al
lowed a place on his desk. Ile taught
the best books ia his day, and were he
alive and a teacher to day, he would uso
the best that ?? ve written.
We do not deny that parents ure fre
quently put to a useless expenditure ot
money for text books. Among so many
good booka it h perfectly natural that
every teacher havo his favorite, and when
the State Board of Education adopts
more than one series of readers or more
than one grammar the way is opened for
the exercise of bia choice. We can not
agree with the Medium and the Courier
as to the comparativo merits of tho old
and the new books. Nor do we concur
with them io the opinion that the reine
dy for the evil of buying mauy bouka is
a uniform determination on tho part ol
the teachers to return to the old books
.in spite of their better judgment. No
progressive teacher can afford to shut his
eyes to the merits nf new books ; neither
could the Cacoctlket Scribendi bo choked
off by such a game. For tbe sake ot
economy let text.books be changed only
when reason and deliberate judgment
dictate; but kt not economy make u?
deaf to the demands of the riving gen
. oration. JLct tbe State adopt her books
for .ten years-for twenty, if you ploase ;
but what intelligent Board would think
of adopting Smith's or Mitchell's Geog
rsphy over Harper's, Cornell's or Apple
ton's? ?
Miss Lieste Anderson, for several years
ft successful teacher in the public schools
of the County, bas secepted the "Offer
.Extraordinary*' made io the January
number of the Miad, and will outer the
Williamston Female College at the be?

regret to loso Ml? Anderson's services se

?nd commend the ambition of the young
lady. ...

While a number of men were carousing
in u saloon near Thirteenth and Vine
streets, ono of them made ii wager of
five dollars with William St am berry, a
negro, that he (Siamherry) could not
drink twenty live full whiskey glasses of
gin inside ot ii half hour. Stainberry
insisted that ho could, and, urged by
some of his friends, agreed to make the
rash attempt.
A lot ?it loafers of the neighborhood
?vere attracted to the saloon, hearing of
the wager, ami before a good ??zed crowd
ol depraved humanity the foolish negro
commenced his tink. At intervals of a
lew moments ghi?* after gla-n of i*i ii was
tossed ?-il', as (|uick a? one drink was
taken another being offered by one ol the
crowd. The lill h omit; wan disposed ol
Indore Stainberry drank any waler.
When the fifteenth glas*, brimming over,
was hainb ?1 the mau he was idiotically
drunk, but managed to preserve himself
sufficiently to guzzle the poison as it was
handed him. As the nineteenth was
handed out Stain berry's hand shook so
thal half the liquid was spilled.
Thc man's ey- : bulged from Iiis head
in a stony suire and his tongue, swollen
and raw, protruded fruin Iiis mouth, lie
managed to gel the tumbler to his lips,
hut hehir) ?is contents could be drained
he fell OM bis back, ile neither moved
nor.uttered a sound Tho crowd, who
hud thus tar cheered him on, became
alarmed nt bis condition and fled (rom
the premises.
No ono offered to procure medical
assistance for the mun, mid he lay us he
fell. Finally the bartender sent for Dr.
McDowell, ol No. 1,123 Vine street.
When the physician arrived he madu a
vain effort lo restore consciousness. A
pu-h cart was procured and the neg lo
was taken to his home, 1,31(1 l'carl street,
lie remained in u comatoso condition up
to last evening, winn he died. - /'hila

Dr. N. ll. Richardson, of London, says
he was recently able to convey a COtisid
embie amount ol conviction loan intel
ligcnt acholar by a aimplo experiment,
l'he scholar was singing the praise of
tho "ruddy bu in her," and saying hecould
not get through the day without ft, when
Dr. Kiel unison said tn him: "Will you
bo good enough to feel my pulso as I
stand here?" lledidso. I said, "Count
it carefully; what docs it say 7" "Your
pulse says 74 " I then sat down in u
chair, und ask? d him io count it again.
He ?lid so mid said, "Your pulse has gone
down lo Tn " 1 then lay down on the
lounge, ami said, "Will you take it
again?" Ile replied: "Why, it is only
04; what un extraordinary thing!' I
then said : "When you lie down ul night
that ia thu way nature gives your heart
rest. You know nothing about it, but
that healing organ is resting to that ex
tent ; and if you reckon it up it is a great
deal of rest, because in lying donn the
heart is doing ten strnkts legs a minute.
Multiply that by sixty, ami it is six hun
dred; multiply it by eight hours, and
within n fraction it is fivo thottxaud
nroken different; mid as the heart is
rowing six ounces of blood at every

thousand ounces of lifting during the
night. When I lie donn ut night with
out uny alcohol that i* tho rest my henri
gets. But when you take your wine or
grog you du mil allow that rest, for the
influence of alcohol is lo increase the
number of strokes, and instead of gel
ting this rest, you put on something like
fifteen thousand oxtra strokes, mid the
result is, you rise up very seedy and unfit
for the next day's work till von have
taken a little more of the 'ruddy bump*

General II. F. Sickles, of thu United
States Army, was telling some friends a
short time ugo about his first glimpse of
.: mountain lion. Ho said, "Wo were
living up in the mountains in Colorado,
and hud quite a herd of cows, among
them ouo ?dd cow who wore a bell. The
cows hud b.'ten missing fur several days,
and the boys were out searching, and one
afternoon 1 thought I would try what I
could do. So 1 mounted a pony and
rode quite a distunco, when 1 thought I
heard the cew's bell. I dismounted and
started to prowl around among the rocks
and hushes. It had been ruining during
the early pm t of thc afternoon, and I
nad au umbrella. I tied the puny to a
tree and stat ted. After I had gone a
.! ort distance, I caught a glimpse of the
cows. Aa I started towurd them, sud
denly they a l lifted their head-, crooked
their tails, and sturted away on the dead
run. I waa just wondering what fright
ened them when I beard a rustling in
the busher, behind me. I turned around,
and tberr, not ten feet away, was a big
mountain lion,-standing on a rock star
mg at ne. I assure you I never felt no
bashful in all my life. I hadn't a gun,
or even .i jack knife ; and there was that
benat sta.-?ng and gouing ready for a
spring! All at once I thought of my
umbrella, and as quick ns thought 1
raised that much borrowed article and
spread it right in Mr. Liou's fucel He
didn't stop to examine, hut mado one
great jump clear ucro&s a gorge, and
when he lighted gave a yell thal shook
the hills. J saw no more of him. When
I got home, the cows were there."

G ii AND VIEW, OHIO, February 15,
A great revival al Wei l'a Holtum bas
awept into the church nearly everybody
there. Last Friday night Chris. D?nsel,
the leading citizen of this vicinity and a
hoted infidel, was converted.. The peo
ple in their wild joy nearly wrecked the
church. Chaira and benches were brok*
en up, tho pulpit torn down and iu the
excitement the preacher was knocked
over and b idly cut. One woman went
into a trance, In which she vet remains.
A procession formed and taking Dongel
ou their shoulders.marched up and down
the aisles. The meeting did not close
until 4 o'clock io the morning. In the
afternoon Dongel became insane and
took all bte money to the preacher. He
locked Jacob Meiser, a neighbor, in the
cellar and compelled Mn. Meiser to give
op all their money, which he also took
to the preacher. At the night meeting
Dongel appeared fantastically clad",
wearing a crown and carrying a club.
He forced the minister fiom the pulpit
and announced that be waa Christ, come
io judge the world. In the struggle to
secure Dongel several people were dan
gerously burt and one probably fatally.

waa accidentally ?liol in thc liquor more
No. 20 Es?ex street, on November 2,
1884, with A 32 calibre pinto), lie fell
t<i the floor, but remained conscious. An
ambulance took bim to the Chumbera
street hospital, where ari examination
showed that the bull bad entered the
abdomen two i nebea to the left of and a
little below tho navel. The external
wound waa alight, and the ball had atop
ped al some point within the abdominal
cavity. The patient was put to bed,
HiifTcring greatly from the ?hock, and
carefully watched. Within a few hour?
aigns of extravasation appeared. Iii?
feature? were pinched, hi? pube feeble
and tremulous. Excruciating pain?
radiated fruin the ?eat ?if injury over thc
whole abdominal region, und were at
tended with ?ign? of collap?e. The
uiu?ciilur effort ol breathing wu? confined
lo th? thorax, und lhere wu? a look of
great anxiety upon the face. It wa?
evident that the dreaded peritonitis
would Moon be fully developed. A con
sultation was held, it was determined that
death would apcedily ensue unies? relief
wniaflorded in Brime manlier, and heroic
treatment was decided upon. Within
twenty hour? after being shot Mc El roy
wa? transferred to the operating table.
Kilter wa? administered and he soon
became unconscious. Elaborate preuui
tiona were taken to prevent the introdue
lion of ?disease germ? into the wound. A
spray of vapor of carbolic acid wu?
played constantly into the room, which,
lo maintain the temperature of the body,
was kept at a uniform temperature ol
eighty degrees. The knive?, forceps
needles ami sponges that were to be used
were kept in warm solution?. An incis
ion wu? fir?t made into the external
wound mid il waa found to extend into
the abdominal cavity. Considerable
hemorrhage began, but the blood waa
ubsorbed by sponges. The incision waa
then increased to about eight inches
through thc abdominal wall, the wound
wus opened wide, and the intestines were
exponed. The .flow of blood increased,
nod it run into tho abdominal cavity.
Alter the hemorrhage wu? brought under
control the cavity wu? sponged out, und
the search f r th? ball begun. A small
section of the int? ?tine wa? drawn care?
fully through (he opening at a time,
thoroughly inspected for lacerali?jn?, and
laid upon thu hreu?l between layer.-; of
cloth? that had previously been wrung
out of warm water. Thia process was
continued until the entire intestine? were
taken out of the body. The bullet was
found in the last section and removed.
It wa? found lo have penetrated the
intestine in seven pince?. As fa?t a?
each wound wa? ?li?covered further search
was stopped until tho lacerated portion
wa? sewed with extremely tine ?ilk thread.
The knots made in drawing the wounded
surface? together were left in position.
Alter all the wound? were closed the
cloths were carefully removed from the
intestines and they relumed to their
ptoper po?itions within the abdominal
wnll". The large incision wa? then
closed and it us well as the bullet wound
wus sewed up with silk. The operation
lusted two hours und the patient was
kept under the influence of ether the
whole time. Meus'ttres were ut once
taken to prevent peritonitis. Morphine
wa? given in small dose? by hypodermic
injection?. A largo coil of rubber tube
wa? placed on thc abdomen, through
which a stream of ico water was con
.-.tautly kept running. For two days no
nourishment wa? given through the
mouth, the patient's strength being kept
up by euemuta of beef juice. Thia wus
? hine to HIIOW the atouiucb and bowel? to
rest, and permit tho wound mude hy the
bullet to heal. A? ?non as food could be
given properly, McElroy gained strength,
and in a comparatively short lime wa?
able to sit up in his col, and afterwurd to
walk about the hospital wards. He went
out of the hospital for the first lime on
Christmas day, leHS than two months
from the timo he wa? injured, ami about
a week afterward he was di?xhurg.d
cured.
The only drawback in the progr?s of
the case lo convalescence was an uhsces
that formed tn the wound made by the
bullet, a few week? after the operation
This, however, wa? finally subdued by
Moothing treatment, though the edge? ul
the wound remained stubborn and would
not close. This difficulty waa overcome
by skin giafling, the akin being taken
from another part of the abdoineu und
planted over the open wound, and beal
ing Rum followed. The patient waa
advised when discharged to abstain from
heavy work, as the abdominal wall may
.wit bo as atrong as before.-AV?? York

INDIAKAPOMH, February 143 -Some
time year? ago Frank Whiling waa con
victed nnd sent for three years to the
Northern Frison at Michigan City. Ai
ter his imprisonment bin wife obtained a
divorce, aud in the coune of a few
monlho married William H. ?Springer of
Haughvitle, n suburb of Indianapolis.
The fruit of her Aral marriage was a son,
whom Springer adopted as bis own, and
Mince that, one child has been added to
ber family. The couple sett ted in Haugh
ville, built a cottage, and were in a fair
way of accumulating a permanent home.
Lesa than two weeks ago Whiting was re
leased, having finished bia term. He re
turned to this city and hunted up hi.?
former wife. Withiu a few days Sprin
ger became jealous of the ex hu?batidV
attentions, and upon expostulating with
hi? wife he wa? told that all lipr old love
for Whiting had rei urned, and that she
p.-eferred him. Of course this bred
trouble, and there waa danger of a per- ,
annal collision. On Saturday evening ,
Whiting caused peace surety proceedings
to be instituted against Springer, who >
had threatened to . kill bim on sight
Yesterday Whiting, notwithstanding the i
fear of bia life, as be had sworn, went to
Haughville, and meeting Springer said
to bim iu substance : "Both nf us can't
live on this earth. Arm yourself and we
will go into the yard and ahoot .until one
or the other falls, or we will pace a dis
lance and shoot, the one coming out
alive to have the Indy." This proposi
tion was not acceptable to Springer, and i
arter a long discussion he agreed to ab
dicate, and spent the night at his fsther's
house.
The two men met this morning in the
Justice's office end the detalla were nr
ranged, by which Springer pays hslf the
costs of prosecution end dismissal, and
he and Whiting left arm tn arm, the lat
ter accompanying Springer to hi? home
tn assist-him io removing bis personal
effects. A divorce suit will follow, sftcr
which Mrs. Springer will be free to re
turn to her former husband. The inter*
view between Whiting end Springer to
day, was chatty and companionable, end
the uninitisted could not tell from their
demeanor that soy mattera nf grave do
mestic import were under discussion.

Mr. John Pearson's Statement :
In thc Spring of 1882 I was attacked with a very
bad cough, which continued to grow worse until
fall, when I got so weak that I could not get
alKiut. I tried a great many kinds ot medicine
but continued to grow worse. I was notified that
I had consumption and would probably die. Dr.
Holloway finally told mo to try Brewer's I.uni: Re
storer. They sent in Ward's Store and got a bottle
and t commenced lukins it right away. After lak
ing two or three doses, I began lo Improve, and by
thu time I had used up one bottle I was able lo get
on my feet again. I am now in excellent health.
I am confident that the Luug Restorer saved my
lire aud my neighbora are of the same opinion.
It Is the best Lung Remedy ever made In mv opin
ion. I>r. II. promised me that be would write to
the manfacturers and tell them of the wouderRil
cure lt made in my case.
Statement of Mr. BenJ. H. Hearndon:
Early in November, 1881, while sewing on tb?
machine, my wira was taken with a severe pain in
her side, which ?as aoon followed by hemorrhages
from her lungs and a severe cough. Fever com
menced, ?he could neither eat or sleep, and in a
few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton.
The atlendiug physician told me that he thought
one of. lier lungs was entirely gone, ?be could not
retain th? tnosi delicate nourishment on'her stom
ach. I then agreed with Dr. Sullivan, my family
physician, to call Dr. Holloway in consultation.
They r?ade a final examination of the patient and
pronounced the case hopeless. Dr. Holloway then
auggeMed the Brewer's Lung Restorer as a last
. esort. I sent for a bottle and gave her a dose. I
found that she could retain it on ber stomach, and
after about the third dose. I began to notice some
improvement in her condition I continued the
medicine legularly, and hy the time she bad taken
two bottles, she was able to walk about the house.
?*be la now In better health than she has enjoyed
for >everal years. I believe the Lung Restorer
saved her life. We have a family of ?ix children,
some of them grown."
