HB i^he^'Column, j. a CL1NKSCALES, Editor. let them bead. Many children are food of reading. ;? They thirst for something to read. They f;f tead whatever' literature they can* get, r-/. being unable to discriminate between trte good and the bad, the suitable and the unsuitable. The thoughtful, watchful 7 :teacher can do . much in the way of directing his inquisitive pupil, but he >>-.'can not wholly take the place of the parent whose duty it is to supply the v-T .child with such reading matter as will develop bis faculties symmeti-icaily, and .. withhold or take from him such as will V have a pernicious influence on bis mind and morals. The parent supplies food for*the body; let him supply food for the t mind, or, in the case of a biasted life, ^ take upon himself the blame. . Many parents are not competent to judge of the merits or demerits of literature for theii children : let the teacher (teachers ought to be competent) help the parents in this matter. Many bright, promising mind* .have been dwarfed by the lack of Wme . thing wholesome to feed upon; and BSa?ny have been ruined, eternally ruined >? by the appropriation of damaging litera IHanre. Axfew'dollara judiciously expended for' good books' and papers would save j BKfaany tears and sighs, and bless the world Hmrlth many useful lives. Nowadays, books are cheap. Any bright boy can, beginning at the age of ten, by saving j what he wastes incidentally, accumulate a neat, little, handsome, valuable .library fore he is twenty-one. Do our teachers ever think to make such suggestions to ^-their/papila? vHave the patrons of the public schools ever thought about the -importaote of accumulating a library .their children while they are growiug We speak of the children of the public schools because with those etil . dren we have to do. In their welfare we are most particularly interested. A few months in the year they are in school: during-the other months they must b i. directed and encouraged and taught b\ their parents, or be left to pine and d war, . for the; wand of aometbiug to feed upon. ". More on this subject hereafter. In response to bur call, Mr. Watkins writes: "Should teachers have "exercise* simply 'for cultivating tbe memory, of their pupils; or do the usual brauches oi -study sufficiently develop this faculty ? If. the training is such as it should be, i EBteeems that there can hardiy be a necessity "/ for anything out of tbe usual course ot study being introduced. At the very beginning there are. twenty-six different shapes and names to be learned, then the sounds of each of these shapes, and alter wards the combination of sounds; "-' then the arrangement of letters in spell? ing words, in all of which, memory i? almost the only agent. Beading may serve to strengthen or weaken tht ~memory, this depending on the manner : in which it is taught. Pupils reading figjarithout understanding, going over a pag< without knowing what it means, getting .-ideas thrown together in a confused man.-; ':? without having the thought brought clearly before their minds, not only hav< their memories weakened, but form the Nhabit of thinking imperfectly, and the very foundation of their mental training < becomes defective.' Teachers should " require their, pupils to get such a cleat conception of what they read that-then ?hall be'no clouded views, but that tbe . . thoughts of the author may stand out clear and distinct, for ideas fully under stood are easily retained in the mind bi may be readily recalled, while the mind v ? turns away with something of aversion from things we have, read and failed t?. ' understand. A good plan is to require pupils, after'they have read a paragraph, * a' page or a lesson, to give the leading x thoughts in their own language.. Re? quire them to talk intelligently on the .? topics discussed in history; let geography '?? be so studied that each map may rise before their minds as the places are named. Under this system it will be fonnd that the memory will be developed,. and- the mind trained to accurate and systematic thinking at tbe same time." The>foHoWing from 2%? Borne Quest Hpwill give us' some idea what the pubic schools in the large cities are doing: ' r'MOne of the best tests of a system of ed ucation is its thoroughness with different kinds of children. In the public school. :j ? of "the leading cities of the United State?. ;i;. itl i? very noticeable to find a genera '- proficiency in such branches as penman ship and drawing. A whole class will be brought to a standard of excellence ^ whicb would be remarkable in a few of j-;':.: the pupils. This proves a good system j'Suid intelligent teaching. It is a condi tion of affairs that does away entirely with the old idea that some boys am: girls can never learn. No matter what their disposition or home surroundings as soon as they fall under the teaching ' and discipline of the public school they must learn. There is do harshness in it either. It is rather because the methods are better thau ^ver before and in tie . hands of those ?who know how to make them successful." We are grateful to our friends in An- j deraon and Williamston for their kind i attention during our recent illness, and to those in the County who wrote us : letters of sympathy. Kind words, j whether spoken or written, stimulate a sick man wonderfully. We are again able to do some work in tbe office, though weftftr.it will be some time before we ?an venture out again among tbe schools. We find on our table a copy of tm Seminary Leaflet, a sprightly little paper published by the young ladies of ti e Anderson Female Seminary. Every /enterprise of this kind gives tbe cause o j education a fresh impetus. Tbe young ladies make a handsome beginning, a d deserve the patronage'of all lovers of | education. Many of our best farmers have ex pressed 'heir approval of our sarti g the Teachers' Column, which confirm our''.opinion tb. it the best men in the County.are not all dead to their eduoi* tional interests. - The Trustees for Garvin rejyuest us to I state that if the teachers do not present their claims .on the first Saturday after the close of the school month, or give good reasons for delay, they will enforce the law to the letter on that point. Place and time of meeting?New Leba? non, 1 o'clock p. m. The Honea Path school, under the management of Mr. Watkins, is full and flourishing. Mr. Watkins is a graduate of Furtnan University, and has taught several yeans successfully in Laurens County. Anderson County gives a hearty welcome to all such as he. Two of our old Sparlanburg friends compliment and encourage us by order? ing the Intelligencer, having seen in other papers notices of the Teachers' Column. Thanks, gentleman, may you cr.?w rich and your children become educated.' Mr. Dickson writes: "Any disturb? ances that may arise among pupils en route to or from school come clearly within the scope of the teacher's juris? diction. This, to my mind, is so appa? rent as to need no argument to support it." Mr. D. C. take, formerly of the Pen dleton High School, we are glad to learn, is doing well at the head of the Easley school. Mr. Lake is a fine teacher, and we hope to.bear of bis continued pros? perity. It is estimated that tb? South is spend trig to day twice as much as it did five years ago. for education, and four times as much as it spent in 1870. It is said that there is more railway travel in Massachusetts than in any other State in the Union.. "Think truly, and thy thoughts Shall the world's famine feed; Speak truly, and each word of thine Shalfcbe a fruitful seed; Live truly, and thy lijje shall be A great and noble creed." To Mill on Horseback. Down irr Arkansas they still send a boy to milt on horseback. "There are few sights more suggestive of hopeful patience than that of a boy ?ittin? on a bag of wheat that is fallen from iiis horse. He starts to mill joy ijusiy. The great event in the life of a youug country boy is to be entrusted with a milli.ig expedition: He sleeps very little the night before the journey, so active is his mind concerning the proa nective tiip. His father helps, him on the horse und he sits on the bag as proud of bis position as a king is of his throne. Every object along the road interests aim. He plucks the blooms from the dogwood, and.almost falls off when the iiorse reaches around to bite himself. He rides into the creek to let the burse drink, and'spits at the minnows that swim around. After he goes up the nank, on the opposite side of the stream, and pursues bis course along the road, he notices with alarm that the bag is slipping to ones.de. He sits still further' over to make the bag balance, but yet be is not satisfied, for it keeps on sliding to one side, and at last fulls off. He cannot restrain his-tears, and though he knows that be cf.ndut lift one end, yet he >ugs at the bag. The old horse snorts, nibbles, the gra's and lashes the boy across the eye 'wirb his tail, "Whoa, you . dd fool!" and'the disconsolate little fei low weeps afresh. He cannot leave the tag, fearing that seme one will steal it. He must wait the tardy coming of a a*8er by. He hear ? the souud of honls aud he listens intently, while the swell? ing buds of hope burst- into full bloom. He is doomed to disappointment, for the horse has no rider. Thunder rumbles in the distance and he will get wet. At . last he sees an old negro coming along. His heart beats high with shope. The old- negro turns aside and takes a by path The boy shouts, but the old negro does not bear him. Another hour, that <eems an age, draws itself along. He Dears a wagon. He is almost wild with joy. The driver, though a surly fellow, lifts the bag up, and the boy, happy and 'hankful, is rescued jusi.at a time when he does not think that be could stand it a moment longer." Georgia on Prohibition. Judge T. J. Simmons, of the Macon Circuit, held court in ?artow County re ceotly, and in his charge to the Grand Jury remarked that he bad learned witb pleasure that Bartow County bad recent? ly voted whiskey out of its borders. He -aid: "I urge upon you, gentlemen, to <ee that this law is respected and en? forced. If you will support it by a hearty public sentiment and help to punish those who violate it, you will soon ?ave very little use for grand juries and criminal courts in your Courty. I have presided as Judjze in ulmfeitevery section of Georgia, and I find that violations of the criminal law are nearly three fourths as great in Jhose couuties where whiskey is retailed as in the coumies where pro? hibition is enforced and respected. The kind of whiskey now used seems to give men a homicide mania. When under its .nfluence they are not satisfied with fist ind skull fighting, but use implements dkely to produce death. Men may still continue to buy whiskey and drink it in spile of your prohibitory law. They will no doubl send to Atlanta and get it by the jugful, but it is better that it should come only by the jugful than by the bar? rel and hogshead. The evil influence of bar rooms and barroom associations are also avoided. * When men buy whiskey by the jugfUl and carry it to their homes and drink it in the pres.mce of their vives and children they ar* not so likely to drink to excess, nor do they so fre quently commit crime while undrr its influence when away from the evil influ? ences that always follow and surround retail liquor shops. I have noticed that the dry counties in the Macon Circuit have comparatively no criminal business, and that grand juries have an ea^y time It is your duty to look carefully to the enforcement of this law and see that any violations of it are speedily punished." ? The interment alive of Miss Cox of Okonoko, W. Va., rvcalls to mind the curious custom practiced by an old Vir sinia family, the Feudals of Alexandria. Whenever a member of the family dies, he male representative of the older branch thereof, ju-it before the hour lor interment, burie* a dagger in the heart of the dead to assure himself of no re? awakening. The dagger used is oue sa? cred to the purpose, and has been devo? ted to its use for many general ions. The custom originated because of the burial ?.live of a member of the family and an inherited tendency to a peculiar form of heart disease. ? A rather singular incident is re? ported as having occurred in St. Franc s bottom, near Walnut Ii dg \ Arkansas, recently.

Lamp lighter David Morse of this town repeattd to a reporter, the other day, a very queer ?tory told him by his father fifty years ago. Living in the town of Warwick, towards tho close of the eighteenth century, was an eccentric individual named Aaron Leeper, who had a wonderful faculty lor accumulating money. At that time Orange County, aud especially the rural districts, was but sparsely settled, and everybody for miles around knew each other's business and were on terms of familiarity. One day tbe neighbors of Leeper were sur? prised to see him erecting a large, low building, covering upwards of an acre of J laud, but for what object he intended tbe building he refused to divulge. After it was completed he began to purchase all the cats in the country, and for weeks be traveled for miles* in every direction, bringing home wagon load after wagon load'of male and female cats. He paid a high price lor the cuts and always in* sisttd on buying all that a customer had, otherwise he would not purchase at all. Finally he had collected in his corral upwards of eight hundred cats, and tbe nightly concerts w*n*ich they held could be beard for a long distance in every direction, and tbe lame of Leeper as a cat farmer became known throughout the entire section. Everybody supposed that it was only another of Leeper's eccentricities and never dreamed that he was making a grand "corner on cats" for his own ag grandizement and they therefore cheer fully parted with their bouse pets and pocketed the liberal sum which he paid lor them. They found out different beiore the end of tbe year. Eats and mice increased in vast numbers and their ravages on granaries, cellars and cup boards were so great that the rodents became really a pestilence throughout the land. It was then that everybody turned to Leeper for relief, and the de mand for ratters and mousers was so urgent; that he was able to place fancy figures on bis stock (which by that time hud been augmented by many additions in the feline circle) and be disposed of the entire lot at private sale and made more clear mouey than bad ever before been made in this section on a single farm. After this enterprise people did not think Leeper so very eccentric after all.?Port Jervis [Pa.) Gazette.' How to Manage a Man. Nothing on earth fetches a man like a good dinner and a well dressed wife pre? siding. The husband who can look for? ward to such a state^of things every day of bis life will never tire of home, and tbe wife who studies bis comfort will have little difficulty in managing him according to her will. Men are grega rious animals, and will wander in spite of all allurements, but they are selfish enough to remain where tbey are best treated, aud by taking a little trouble for a year or two of married life the years that follow will, as a rule, find the hus? band always glad to go back to tbe pretty home where smiles await him and the dinner I spoke of. There are so many women who object to being "bossed," as they call it. My dear ladies, you can always be boss if you take the trouble. By giving in you get your own way as you never would by fighting for it. And, |vafter all, it is better to feel you respect your husband'so much that to give in to him is not a difficulty. Nine men out of ten are manageable if you go the right way about it, and one great point is to act after marriage I just as you did before. Argument aud contradiction are vital enemies to married peace. Should you wish for anything particularly, don't insist upon it after refusal. Some women are persistent, aud ask: "Why u.ay I not? Why won't you do as I tell you ?" and irritate the man. Bather bide your time, and make an extra good dinner of his favorite dishes, put a bow' on of the color he tikes, make home and yourself sweeter than ever. You'll get it sure, even it yon have to wait. Also, when you want him to do any particular thing which you know will be tor bis good, for heav? en's sake do not say "Do it." Bather drop a bint that you think so and so would be a good thing to do. Get. him interested, and then let the subject drop. I venture to say that in a short time that man will do precisely as you wished ; be will never permit you to think that he has traded the least on your common seuse.?San Francisco News Letter. Ways to Become Attractive. 9 - A Parisian newspaper ba9 been teach? ing its lady readers "bow to be attrac? tive." Surely the readers of tbe Vie Parisienne ought to be in no need of: advice such as tbe following: "Look confident and indifferent; express your seif simply and.with a voice as sweet as possible. Be keenly alive to everything tnat passes, yet appear absent minded know as much as possible,* yet please by asking questions. Having read every? thing, appear iguorant; hear all, always express surprise; desiring .everything, ask for nothing. Be light hearted to preserve your beauty; be indulgent to attract sympathy"?and so on. Tinse aws?some evidently anti-blue-stocking laws?are laid down as absolute, with one exception. "Blush neither for shame nor for pleasure," to which is added, "if you can help it." Verily,- the good old aying boids good still: "IIIfaxd sou/ frirpour etre belle." There are, however, .some clauses which might with equal advantage be applied to both sexes For instance : "Do not force wit; always listen attentively ; be charitable for your own sati.sfactiou ; be frank and you need never be afraid of tbe truth ; see things at a glance; judge quickly, and think more quickly still in order to keep a cool head." But wise as these laws are, and however much the world might be bene filed by a more general application ol them, they belong decidedly to the cate gory of precepts more easily preached than practiced.?Pall Mall Gazette. The Supremacy of Grass. The great arable crop of the country is maize, worth three fourths of a billion last year, but the value of grass was very much greater. That portion which is cured for Winter use is small compared with what is gathered by the farm ani? mals themselves, in Summer, and in every seaM>n of the rolling year. It is not the grass farm in England that fails to rent, but the arable grain and turnip lauds on which the pinch of competition tails sonnest and hardest. Illinois Iis? mainly gone to grass, except about a fourth of the area given up to corn, and prospers in proportion to the extent ol verdure. Iowa is fast*following the ex? ample, and is reaping the reward of this stroke if rural economy. Southern Wis? consin and Southern Minnesota are rap? idly exteuding mowitg and pasturage, and enlarging Hocks and herds, and es? tablishing butter and clu-ese factories. The South is beginning to think better of grass; Ibereisa field for enterprise in daitying and meat production on the Alleghaniau plateaus and slopes which will one day rauke the fortune of multi tildes. Land can be had, at nominal rates, capable of growing clover and orchard grass, in a climate healthful and comfortable as any in the United Stales, where a near market for butter and cheese at high prices could be enjoyed until competition should equalize the superior advantage.?Ar.

Since then Mr. Leland has recommended AVer's Sarsapari ll a in ninny similar cases, and ho has never yet beard of its fail? ure to effect a radical cure. Some years ago oho of Mr. Lr.tiAJfn'S farm laborers bruised his leg. Owing to tlic bud state of his blood, nn ugly scrofulous swelling or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor? rible itching of Hie skin, with burning and darting pains through the lump, made life almost intolerable. Tho leg became enor? mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed, discharging great quantities of extremely offensive matter.' No treatment was of any avail until tlio man, by Mr. Leland's direc? tion, was supplied with AVKtt'S SARSAl'A killa, which allayed the pain and irritation, healed the sores, removed the swelling, and completely restored the limb to use.

Ills Postoflkc Is Yates ville, Upson County, Ca. 1 he following Is Mr. John Pearson's Statement: In the Spring of 1SS2 I was attacked with a very bad cough, width continued to grow worse until fall, when T got so weak that I could not get about. I tried a great many kinds of medicine but. continued to grow worse. I was notified that I had consumption and would probably die. Dr. Holloway finally told me to try Brewer's Lung Re? storer. They sent to Ward's Store and got a bottle and I commenced tnking it rlghtaway. After tak? ing two or three doses, I began to improve, and by the time 1 bad used up one bottle 1 was able to get on my feet again. I am now in excellent health. Iam confident that the Lung Restorer saved my life and luy neighbors are of the same opinion. It is the best 1 ting Remedy ever made in my opin? ion. Dr. If. promised me that he would write to the manfaeturers and tell them of the wonderful cure it made iu my case. Statement of Mr. Benj. H. Hearndon: Early In November, 1881, while sewing on the machine, my wile was taken with a severe pain In her sid.e, which u as soon followed by hemorrhages from her lungs and a severe cough. Fever com? menced, she could neither eat or sleep, aud in a tew weck? she was reduced to a living skeleton. The attending physician told me that he thought one of her Jungs was entirely gone.
