How is Miss Sallie Sco'.t'a school?
She promised us an occasional line. Her
school numbered over fifty when we wero
thero in February. Wo trust she ?lili
has as ruauy os she can manage well.
Hers is a ten-month school.
We are informed that no work ha?
been done as yet on tho Calhoun Acade
my. Well, tho weather ia pleasant now
und tho children can get along very nice
ly until Fall. During tho Summer, after
tho crops aro "laid by," the patrons will
make it a neat, comfortable houac.
There may be another Joe Brown coming
up in that community. Take care of
him, tho country will need bim.
Will every teacher in tho County hop
ing to attend the State Normal School in
August do us tho kindness to drop us a
card ?tating bia purpose ? Wu nru fear
ful that not many can attend; if, how
ever, any considerable.number can co,
the necessity for a County Normal -.viii
in n measure bo relieved. Thia is why
wc ask for the information. We hone
tho teachers will give tbe matter due at
tention.
Thc season for Commencements, school
exhibitions and public examinations is
now about beginning. Thu Colleges
have their Commencements, thc public
schools and country schools generally,
their exhibitions. These annual festal
occasions du good when properly guard
ed aud akillfully mauaged. Many a boy
has been quickened into new life, and
lifted upon a higher plain of action by
tho success of his first attempt before
tho public. The very eflbrt strengthens
him, though to ot lie rs it may see very
weak and of no cons?quence. Thc ? is a
vost deal of difference between self
confidunco and self satisfaction. What
boy has not felt his knees shako beneath
m as he uttered tho words "They tell
i , sir, lliut we aro weak !" And what a
thrill of patriotic emotions runs through
his youthful veins ns ho warms up to tho
conclusion of Uonry's memorable speech,
"Oivo mo liberty, or give me dentb I"

IRIN SLICES OF AMERICAN HISTORY.
GARNISHED WITH TA MC.
Ned came iu from tho ofllco with tho
evening mail, shaking tho water from his
coat and bat as a great Newfoundland
dog would shake his shaggy coat on com
ing out of tho water.
r,Wby! does it rain?" asked Lou.
looking up from tho book whicD had ab
sorbed her thoughts for the last half
hour.
"Indeed it does ; it ia a rusty evening.
The creek is rising too, wo shall soon
havo a raging torrent at the foot of tho
hill !"
"Well, there's no army waiting to
cross," returned Lou, in a truly quizzical
manner.
"What do you moan?" asked Ned,
handing tho letters to Iiis fathor and toss
ing a package toward Lou.
"Ob, I was only thinking of the time
when a rain saved an army."
"More history 1 All right! this isa
good time for it. What part of the
world are you dipping into now, and
what's tho time of day ?"
"It is the evening of tho twenty-eighth
of January, I believe. That is certainly
what the calendar up thero says. Now
just substitute 1781 for 1885 and you have
it. I don't suppose that a buudred years
or eo from now lt will be known or bo of
interest t?ot it rains to-night. But the
fact that it rained on that twenty-eighth
of January, 1781, is ono .bf tho things
sot down in history as important."
"Just tell a fellow about it," said Ned.
. "Ned, I am afraid yon are a leay fel
low," said his father. "You seem to
make Lou do a great deal of reading for
your benefit."
"O, no, father ! Lon does it for her
own benefit and it is really pure benevo
lence on my part to lot her talk." .
"Well, you remember that after Gen
eral Oates had won a reputation by the
capturo of Burgoyne and the surrender
of the British army at Saratoga, ho waa
given the command of the Southern de
partment ;-but only to suffer defeats and
misfortunes. He waa. superseded by
- General Greene, who speedily rallied and
reorganized the army which ho found
greatly reduced in numbera. One divis
ion of his army defeated tho British at
Cowpens, but noding that ho had so few
mon: In comparison with the army of
Cornwallis he decided to retreat to Vir
guia, to save the remnant, and seek re
foroements. . On the twenty-eighth of
January he reached and crossed tho 'Ja
tawba, getting safely ovor with all bis
baggage.. Cornwallis was only two hours
later in arriving at tho ford, but as it
was now nightfall lie concluded to wait
and cross by daylight, having no doubt
of belog able to capture Greene's army.
Bat during the night a perfect torrent of
rain fell, so that in tho morning the dis?
comfitted General looked out upon a
river swollen and unfordable And it
was a fortnight bo fore ha could croea
with his army. Then the roads having
become only partly settled, the two
annies bogati a race of sixty miles for
the Yadkln. Again Greene came ont
ahead and again Cornwallis waa delayed
by a rain which came up just as he was
about to cross. However, by leading his
' arm^ np the river about twenty-five
miles tn a shallow place, he succeeded in
crossing,'and the third race began. Tho
two armies wereI on.parallel roads only
twenty-five miles apart, but Greene came
out ahead and reached. Virginia, whr.ro
ho was reinforced."
. "Waa not Green? the fellow of .whom
it has been said that ali bia defeats bad
the effect of victories ?". interrupted Net!..
"Yes, and I believe he never gained a
decided Victory. At Guilford Court
House the raw recrul? hrbke lme and
fled at the first fire and thia caused great
confusion. The Americans were forced
to retreat after some hard fighting; but
^wnwallis was so badly cut up that he
also retreated.: Tn? battle of Kutaw

Ile of tho war, and thero as before Greene

Will Never Have tho Tremens.
"Did you ever, have tlie tremens?"
waa tho laconic inquiry made yesterday
by one Detroiter ol' another.
"The what?"
"The tremen J, snakes,shakes, triangles,
jitnjams, Hide jumps, or whatever you
choose to call them."
"Oh, I see ; you mean tho jerks. No,
I in .er had thom and I never will. I
went through an experience once that
convinced me 1 bau no uno for any
nervous disturbance of that character.
I was rooming with a capital young
fellow at a hotel. JIo was a southerner ;
came from Texan, and had all that gen
erous, impulsive nature that IH attributed
to the bent class of Southerners. 15ut
that fellow would get on tho most hila
rious batters of the most pronounced
type. He'd get blind, bowling drunk,
and keep it up until nature would bring
in ber billa and .send him lo bed because
he couldn't meet them. He'd upend ali
tho ninney bc had, all ho could borrow,
and then run bin credit to tho very limit.
Ile was ready to be anybody's fricud,
and the fact wm taken advantage of while
he could work the bars, lie wai quick
to anger, and when his money disappeared
lie wai liable to he treated to a pair of
black eyes or a sore jaw. He would
come out of a spreo determined never to
have another one, and while his resolu
tion prevailed he was gentlemanly, tidy
as a fashion plate and thu bent of coin*
pany. Ho wus a Democrat and Cleve
land's election took the young mau clear
od' his feet. Ho was on thc war path tor
two weeks. Ho was drunker than a lora
nnd made Home hov.'l for keeps. Ho
finally lind to give up and went to bed
at the hotel, lie slept twenty-four hours
and then wanted whisky. Tho doctor
?aid to give u reasonable amount, but
the debilitated politician wanted a quart.
He was quieted for a time, and 1 threw
myself ou Ibo bed for a nap. A voice
awakened mo. I heard the young fellow
praying rind Haw him kneeling by tho
bedside. His petition was that the Lord,
his mother, and all other interested pur
tics might forgive him for what lie wns
about to do. Ho felt it as his duty lo
murder me then and there, because, in
hi? distorted judgment, I was fit to cum
ber tho earth no longer. I was almost
petrified with mingled astonishment aud
lear. I saw that he had 'ern. He wus
mi athlete, six feet tall, and nut of his
bend. In the comer of tho room were
two I tidinn clubs and a baseball but. Ho
rose from prayer, started for tho corner,
nnd 1 Haw thnt I must do something or
bo pounded into a jelly. I made one
spring before ho knew I was awake, pin
ioned bis iirni'. behind bim, and let out
two or three terrific yells. In a few
seconds the porter, with a half dozen
other men, were helping pul the Cleve
land man to bed. He got around all
right, and vows he's done drinking, but
I wouldn't sleep with him after another
democratic victory for half of Michigan.

No Poetry In a ?alden's Lore.
It was divinely announced in the carly
history of tho world that "it was not
good for maa to be alone," and the an
nouncement has received the almost uni
versal endorsement of our race, especially
the male portion of tho race. It may be
that some are discouraged by frequent
failures-that ia, those who failed to
marry those they wished. To the male
sex thin would Hcem to apply, os it is
supposed that the men only do the court
ing. But a close observer will sossetimes
admit that the ladies take part in it. I
once heard of a party who asked a lady
of. over three-score years how old a lady
would become before she would relin
quish the idea of marriage, and the an
swer was : "My son, go ask some one
older than I." People will marry. It in
necessary that they should. But they
should-love first. Those who write of
love generally treat the subject with too
much levity, and associato it with soft
?lances, moonlight walks and poetry,
?ovo and poetry go hand in hand some
times, but poetry ls generally left-left
away in the background. The young
man. when he first gets in lr ve, is a poet
in his own conceit. Tho jiri doca not
get thal way. She- bas n practical idea
of love, aud whether or not sba recipro
cates the passion of the young fellow
who is letting ont his soul to her, she
will knock all the poetry out of him on
the first round.--A lecture by Pastor
Hammond.

sponsible for its being in existence, ?nd ns
if shu was considerably to blame, too.
And when ahn baa the hoHache no

she is "nervous enough to fly," nobody
shuts the door any quieter, and nobody
tucks her ou tho lounge with a shawl
over her, or coddles her to deaih as man
has to bo coddled under such circuinstan
