: ^E}A?HEll^! (jOI/UMN, J. G. CLLNKSCALES, Editob. A CURIOSITY. . While o?t among the schools two weeks ago we happened upon a curiosity, .a real curiosity. It is called a school, ?j" As we approached we noticed six or eight ? small boys scamper off toward the house. "That is the way they do things here, ~ was the prompt reply of our companion, ft Trustee, to our question as to what ;. meant. We entered after a time. We found a well constructed house made comfortable by a' handsome, new stove, famished with bright, new desks, anc occupied by quite a number of children and what they called their teacher. The , teacher met us at the door with disbev ' sled hair and boot legs outside his pants, ' and with-an ejaculate, "Good morning, gentlemen, come in and be seated," re ' sumed hia work. And such a work as it : #as7-may the fates deliver.us From see ;" iag such again. The floor looked like it : had not been swept in a month; the s children were allowed to go out just when they pleased and return if it suited them ? ?r they were allowed to sit wherever they desired arrd to change seats at will; they were allowed to make as much noise as ' they could, studying out in a tone pain ' fully (to us) audible, having no restraint " put upon them whatever. Now, then, Jeav?j it to the reader to say whether that i is ndt a real curiosity. Just imagine - thirty children spelling out with all their ht while the teacher is pretending to i a ciass of six or eight. Wei 1 that otthe worst of it. That teacher (?) hss been going on for years just that way. I The fact that such a thing is iu existence in Anderson County is so ridiculous that one becomes almost disgusted at the 'thought of it. But the worst is not told -yet That teacher (?) does not propose ' to change bis modus operandi. When we calljd his attention u>the big mistake be had made iu discarding all system, be threw himself back on his dignity, and ' ^Mplied with all the pomposity of style: "Yea, sir; but that is simply a difference ?fit opinion. I have tried your plan, aud I prefer Shis. I give satisfaction to the ? patrons, and the children are progressing v:finely. I allow the children to go aud ?come as they feel disposed, and all I re? quire of them is to know their lessons." : We tried to argue the question with him respectfully, but he very soon convinced us that, we were beating the wind. The great trouble is that he knows it all. . My predecessor informs me* that he knew it all years ago. He wants no sugges? tions, will take no instructions, and will make no changes. Now he has been a boy, and ought to know that it will not Ido to give a boy such privileges as be gives them. Will not nine teutbs of the boys, under such circumstances, fool away nine-tenths of their time? Cer .. tiinly they will. He said his pupils were 1 progressing finely. We examined them and ibund that they knew nothing. One clas3 had passed through common and decimal fractions, yet they couldn't make , the eign* of addition or substractiou. " They had been studying geography for months, but it was ouiy aftera very paiu ?fai effort that one could give me a few of the natural divisions of the land and the i * water. We mention these things, first; to let the friends of education in Ander? son County know what we have iu our midst, and that it is called a school, and secondly, that our friend may take warn Ving and change his plans. We would : not deal harshly with him, but we can not afford to deai leniently toward him to the-detriment of the interests of the com? munity he pretends to serve. He says ?' he saw in some paper that some very dis? tinguished educator is advocating his \ plan. Surely he meant his want of a ?'?'* plan. We would like.to know who that distinguished editor is. Unless our friend shake up his school" from center to ' circumference and begin a new school work, he can not expect to hold his posi? tion. We will be forced to revoke his . certificate. That would be very unpleas? ant?qiyte unpleasant; but when duty v. .calls we have to obey. We do not wonder that some of the teachers grumble at the rapid decrease in ) the uumber of their pupils. There are ' two good causes: Poor school-houses and s| bad weather. gerne people have a mistaken id* a : about the education, of the negro. They claim that he can not be educated. He can be educated; be is educating every day, and his intense interest in the sub? ject will tell in a few more years. "That the so called education that in? structs but does no&tdevelop pupils is lamentably prevalent among us, is the regretful conviction of a rapidly increas? ing number of thoughtful men and wo-. | men. This perception of the evii k the first step toward its cure." ?very school-house in the County could be made comfortable if the patrons ?> would all turn out and put one solid day's work on it. How can men be easy < wbeu they know that their children are freezing and growing crooked for the want or a comfortable house and com? fortable seats? ' Mr. J. H. Rainey went to one of his schools not long since and spent the afternoon. Convinced that the school was a failure for the want of discipline, o he quietly informed the teacher that her services were no longer needed. Such a a Trustee as that will do to depend upon. Let others do likewise. There are schools runniog in the County now, no , doubt, that ought not to be. Gentlemen, please look after them for the sake of your children or your neighbor's chil dren; if they are not governed at school, they are going to ruin?you better have them at home. . . - The nice, neat hand written by some of the female teachers would make some ' of the malea ashamed of their own. v.There are two exceptions among our male correspondents, however, Messrs. Langston sind Bagwell. Mr. Langnton's hand is as pretty as any print we ever saw. [ Some of our road#rs may think this a: small matter. We think it tie* t serves more attention than it receives. Some one Las said that a man's charac? ter may be seen in the hand he writes. If that is true,-there are some hard cases among us. Wo do not think it shown character; but unquestionably, it reveals style, taste and emotious. Every teach? er, at least, ought to write a good hand. He ought to make it a study. Miss Olivia Newton writes: "We are stimulated in our humble pretentious up here in Garvin by the Teachers' Column, ' and hope you will coutinue the happy medium of communication. We write, however, to assure you that we will at? tend the Teachers' Institute this Summer if it convenes at Anderson." i Miss Leila Browne writes: "Like some of the other teacher*, I.would like to know when you are coming." fit would be difficult for me to any when I will visit your school, Miss Leila, if I were disposed to do so. My recent'severe ill? ness and narrow escape from a protracted spell of pneumonia will necessarily stop my visits for a time.?Ed.] # Mr. R. A. Bagwell writes: "My school is still full, and everything working along as well as could be expected under the circumstances. I am glad to see that you have commenced a Teachers' Col? umn in the Intelligencer, and hope that it may prove to be the means of doing much good in the County of An? derson. Wish you continued success in the labors which you have so earnestly begun." Miss Ida Cook writes: "In answer to your questions in the Intelligencer of two weeks ago, I would say that I re? quire all my pupils over twelve years of age to either write compositions or de? bate twice each month. Sometimes I require them to write upon subjects ot my selection, but more frequently upon subjects of .their own selection, and have uoticed that iu the" latter case they are more apt to decide upon'a subject about which they are better qualified to write." Mr. P. B. Langston writes: '"Your novel plan for securing the ideas of the different teachers of our County we think worthy of the most careful, atten? tion and highest praise. It partially establishes a medium which has been long needed by the teachers of the land ; tor if hearty co-oneration and thorough organization is necessary for the Buccess of any public enterprise, it certainly is in this, which' is among the most honor? able and .responsible callings of the time. And, if by thought, word or action we can add any item of interest or instruc? tion to your column, most cheerfully will we give it. Hope that it will be perpet? uated, and that all concerned will give it the attention its founder Intended it should merit, and which all will agree it well deserves." ? -,-;-; Miss L. A. writes: "Ooe of the band of teachers desires to express her thanks to you for that happy inspiration of yours in originating the Teachers' Col? umn, also to the good and wise editor of the Intelligencer for giving us the space in his valuable paper. It will, in? deed, be both a pleasure and a benefit to the teachers, who will come to know and understand each other belter, as well as to be instructed and inspired in the art of teaching. Besides, it may arouse the patrons to take a greater interest iu their respective schools. Wish you much suc? cess in your undertaking, and hope that other educators will co-operate with you iu advancing the cause of education."? [We hope Miss Lizzie will not forget to send us a line occasionally while she is devoting herself to her studies in col? lege.?Ed ] A Pica for the Whipping Post. David Kerns, a stout and able-bodied colored man apparently between twenty five und thirty years old, was committed to jail lor thirty days yesterday for steal? ing a pair of breeches from a store. On the 28th of March', 1884, the same man was convicted of larceny and sent to jail for ten days; on the 18th of April he was again convicted and sen? tenced ; on the 28th of July he appeared and was sentenced the third time. The total value of bis four thefts is $5, the stolen articles consisting of two cheap pictures, one or two fence posts, u piece of bacon and a pair of common breeches. He will have cost the County at the expiration of the present term : Board in jail.$42 00 Jailer's fees.4 00 Constable's fees. 8 40 Trial Justice's costs. 2 66 Total.$57 06 This is a fair specimen of hundreds ol ca-es that occur every year in this. State. Imprisonment has no terror for men like Kerns; they are insensible to disgrace and do not regard free feeding and blank? ets as a thing to be dreaded. They con tinue their system of shunning work and stealing what they want and accept oc? casional imprisonment as incidents in their' slothful and generally pleasant lives. When we reflect that probably such thieves are detected iu only about a fifth of their crimes, that many of them will live scores of years at an annual cost to the taxpayers of $60 or more and that they steal and consume hundreds of dol? lars more while producing absolutely nothing, we can understand what a tre mend?/:sdrn n they make on the resourees of the country. . The* remedy is CAsy. If Kerns, for instance, knew that conviction of larceny would cause him to receive from twenty to forty lashes well laid on his bare back he would limit his thieving to the rare opportunities when detec* ion is apparent? ly impossible, and would work for his bread. The puoishmeot would be a real one, which he could feel and understand and would dread. It would be inexpen sive and quick and, would deter other thieves from stealing. There is no valid objection to the use of the whipping post for criminals like Kerns?certuinly no objection which can ?veigh against its advantages. Indiscrim? inate whipping which would include whipping women and men in bad health would be brutal. But legal safe guards C4D be devised to limit the use of the lash to criminals physically able to en? dure it who cfnnot be controlled by other methods. The restoration of* the whi ping post would save thousands of doi.ars every year to the people of the State and di- I minish crime thirty per cent.? Greenville News. ? Mrs. B. F.

Few people, especially among the youthful, think and speak of marriage with the seriousness which it merits. If the topic is touched at all, it is in a jocu? lar manner,' and as a subject for badinage and amusement. Levity carries the young into complications from which they cannot well retreat. In any other engagement which connects two lives as friends, partuers, companions, or busi ness correspondents, caution is exercised, though the connection be one which can at any time be severed upon due notice. But the marriage tie, which binds for life, aud tbe bonds of which cannot be severed without distress, notoriety, and often shame and scandal, is as carelessly assumed as if the happiness of a lifetime were not made or marred by it. Of all marriages those which are begun by elopement are among the most unfor? tunate. It is not to be denied that there are some very rare exceptional cases in whic^h the parties do not regret the union'; but even in these the wish must be fell that there were no memories in the household which it were better the children should not hear of. The pa? rents of marriageable children have nat? urally aud properly an anxiety concern? ing their future which the young people themselves scarcely appreciate. And when the family records register an im? prudent, if not bad example, a fortunate escape rather than a well considered un? dertaking, it is not to be wondered that the authority of parents is not held in respect. Whether for good or for ill, "private life" has in these days become impossi? ble, except to those wbqse lives, to all but their.immediate friends, puss unseen and unknown. Such peaceable security is among the happiest conditions. But whoever goes out of tbe ordinary routine of life in its family aud social aspects, at once "draws the fire," and becomes tbe quarry of the interviewers. There are persons who like this, and court notorie? ty. Tbe real sufferers in such cases are their friends; and when an elopement takes place, their parents and family connections. With all sensible people, the acute distress of the father and mother is present to tbe thoughts. The cry of the poor old king is read between tbe lines of the flippant report: * . How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is, To have a thankless child. For a thankless child it must be who will deliberately and cruelly deceive the pa? rents, to whom respect and affection are due. ? Hasty and unadvised marriages are bad enough, and fruitful in unhappiness, eren when tbe consent, of friends is wrung from them. It is usual to attri-. bute the Misery in the world to intem? perance aud other vicious habits. There ure, however, causes bebind actuui viciousoess. Much of tue unhappiness and want which exist are trateable to imprudent marriages. The woman who promises to "love and honor" one of whom she is uot sure that he possesses a loveable and honorable character, may entail upon hersalf a life of wretched ness. And the man who heedlessly cov? enants to keep the life,.as his own, of the woman who trusts bim, is taking respon? sibility of which he should well ponder the weight. The inexperience ol youth ?scorning th? wisdom of iho*e who are capable of advising?will often persist. But, if you must marry, don't run away to do it, lest you wish afterward that you could only run back.?Philadelphia I*d ger. False, Foolish Female Fear, On a Brooklyn ferry boat 1 lately heard two pretty young women talking together. "I feel sort of lost," sa id one. "I used to Jike_working with Madam-. I didn't mean to leave; but when I wa* married I thought I had to. Ma said that folks would say Eben was awful poor if I kept ou at millinery." "Yes," said her friend,-"they'd talk. Of course you had to stop. Just like me. I didn't have half what I'd liked, but when you've got a husband, be ought to support you. You oughtn't to work." "And yet," said the other girl, "I was making from ten to fifteen dollars a week." "You little goose," I thought to my? self, "you hud the right instinct, but not the courage to do what you ought to bave done. A little reason would have told you that people generally, knowing Ebeo's trade, would know about how much he made, anr1 that if you worked it would add to your income and make you better off." ? TbhWalk of foolish women about such things ofteu hinders others from obeying honest, wholesome impulses. Women should not marry to be supported. . That old fashioned expression, "his partner," which some good people still use in speaking of a wife, is one to be remem bered. A busband may wish to save his wife from all care, and if he is a good man he will do everything to make her life easy and happy; but she should be ready to pull an oar in the matrimonial boat, if necessary. After a while, the cares of family gen? erally give the wife enough to do; but that a woman of tbe self supporting class? es should think it disgraces her or her husband to earn a dollar, passes my powers of comprehension. The wives of men in business'often help them iu many ways to accumulate riches. The cashier's desk in a large establishment is I frequently filled.by the pioprietor's wife. A farmer's wife has nearly as much to do with his prosperity as the farmer him? self; and that any working man's "part? ner" should feel it derogatory to earn a dollar in auy honest way is ridiculous. I really thought such folly had died out amongst plain Americans. It certainly is time it had.?AT. K. D., in New York Ledger."" ._ "Little Sorrel." Richmond, February 24.?The war horse of Stonewall Jackson, which has just reached th? New Orleans Exposition and is attractik.0 so much attention, has an eventful history. Since the war the animal has, until recently, been in the care of Mrs. Jackson's brother in North Carolina. She gave the animal to the Virginia Military Institute, where he was cared for and allowed to wander over the grounds, the pet of every oue. He has not worn a saddle since the war. The horso was known aa Little Sorrel, aud his history is novel and interesting. A member of Jackson's staff, now in ibis city, remarked to day that Little Sorrel was made a Confederate against his will. In the Spring.of 1861, when Major Jack? son had taken command at Harper's Ferry, a number of horses were captured on a train from the North on the Balti? more und Ohio Railroad. Jackson re? quested his Quartermaster to select a horse for him from tbe lot, and Little ?Sorrel was picked out. Jackson ordered that the trader who had the horses should be paid for the horse in United States money. The horse was of medium *ize, easily kept, and had a long, lubberly pace. He soon eviuced great power of endurance, and was used by Jackson in all his active service. He rode Little Sorrel at the battles of Manassas. Kerns town, McDowell, Winchester, Port Re? public, Cross Keys, Chickahominy, Cedar Mountain, Second Mamtssas,Sharpsburg, Harper's Ferry, Fredericksburg und of Cbancellorsville, where Jt?ckson fell, morta"/ wounded, from his back. The oid steed is now thirty years of age. When Jackson was wounded he escaped into the Federal lines, and in u subse? quent charge was captured by General J. E. B Stuart. ?

In one little village the tramps recently stole the pet dude of the place, aud held him fur a ransom. Similar tidings come from other sections of the country. Accord? ing to a New York anarchist, we have 2,000,000 tramps. This, of course, is an outrageous overstatement, but our tramps, vagrants, criminals and good-for nothing classes doubtless run up to the above figures. There is danger in all this.

In August, lWI, nearly three years ago, my son. who was at that time living at Clinton, Ca.. came over to see inc with the sail intelligence that bis wife was in the last stages of consumption and that her physician had pronouueed her caso hope? less. I went immediately over, and I felt that nothing could be done. She was coughing and spitting Inc.-ssantly. and at times would discharge from her lungs, a large quantity of pus or matter ?could not bleep or retain anything on her stom? ach, and was, in fact, in the last stages of the dis? ease. Thin was about the time you began to ?d vertise Brewer's Lung Kestorer, and as my son expressed a desire to give it to his wife, two or three bottles were procured and with scarcely a vestige of hope we commenced giving It to her in sinalldoscs, gradually increasing the quautily un? til the prescribed dos was reached. She began to improve after a few doseo und continued to do so dally, until she was finally restored to life and health, nud is to-dnv jerhaps iu better health than ever before. She fs subject to colds, but a few swallows of Brewer's Lung Kestorer (which she Is never without) relieves her immediately. I con? sider her restoration to perfect health a miracle, for which she is indebt d to Brewer's Lung Re? storer. Mv son is nlmost a monomaniac on tho i?ul>joct of ?rewer's Lung Restoicr and never lets an opportunity pass where he thiults such a medi? cine would be required, that he docs not speak of it iu most glowing terms. Not long siren a North? ern gentleman on his way to Florida heard of this euro and was Induced by my son t give It to hla invalid wife, and she was cured as if by magic." Brewer's Lung Restorer contains no opiates. LA MAR, RANKJN <fc LAM AR, Macon, Atiauta and Albany, On. Brewer's Lung Restorer for sate by W?? hlte & W?hlte, Anderson, S. C. \ March 20,1884. 30-eow.
