yE}A?H^!?0I,?MN, J.G. CLINKSCALES, Editor. EXAMINATION OF TKACHEBS. The regular examination of teachers will take place in the Military Academy on the first Friday and Saturday in July ?the whites on Friday and the colored .on Saturday, Let this be* remembered and ..let candidates for certificates meet the Examining Board at 9 o'clock a. m. Several colored teachers, holding certifi? cates given by the Examining-Boards of other counties and endorsed by our own; , have not given satisfaction: all colored teachers holding such certificates must meet the Board at the regular examina? tion if they propose to_teach any more in Anderson County. One or two white teachers, holding Buch certificates, and failing to give satisfaction, will be ad? vised through the. mail to meet the Board ^aJUhe^same time. , ^^Effi^SCBBOLS IN. GEORGIA.

We have long thought that teachers ought to give special attention to the de? velopment of the memory of their pupils. How easy it is for a child to fall into a loose, slack way of learning their lessons. They study io recite, and not to learn. It seems to us that, by proper effort, the teachers^conld. break np; or prevent the formation of such a habit?a habit that tias a tendency to weaken; if not hope? lessly ruin, the memory. Let the teach? er himself read several books carelessly, indifferently, and he will soon find that he can not only not retain anything he reads^ bo^experienoes considerable dH|-1 culty; nr His effortsvto fix h^ attention upW-any thing. Toremember any thing we must feel an interest in that thing. To impress a lesson upon the minds of your class you must, by some means, stir up within them an interest in that lesson. . Frequent reviews serve a good purpose. Incidental conversations with your pupils about some lesson they passed over a month ago, it.seems to us, would have a tendency to impress the facts or princi? ples in that lesson. But how about a regular exercise looking specially to the development'of the memory? Have you tried any plan ? havo you thought of the necessity ? Suppose you read some short story, or, if you please, one single paragraph to your school, in the morning just after opening the school, and the next morning at the same time call on one of the pupils to repeat what you read. Bead another, and, the next morning, call on another pupil to repeat .it Keep this up regularly, and, after a week or two, ask some one to repeat the first jatory that was read. We suggest . this plan for the benefit of any who may be disposed to give it a test. Perhaps ?;: you have a better one: if so, let us hear it. Don't keep it to yourself-^the other teachers want it The memory can be developed,- and ouglit to be developed: what are you doing in that direction?: We are told that Thurlow Weed adopted the plan of recalling, at night, the events of the day and narrating them in their proper order to fiis wife. Doubtless the results were beneficial. Just before dis? missing your school in the afternoon, call on one of the pupils to state concisely ' what he learned! during the day.. The fctt that any ono # the nuibW-is.Iiable to be called upon for such statement, will, no doubt, make them more attentive - to their lessons and to their surroundings and, perhaps/.will giyejheni awre reten? tive memories.. These plans we suggest not as the best, but as_p/a?w, nevertheless, and perhaps Setter than no.,plans at all. '8QTJIEE THOMSON OF EXAMINATIONS. V. ?.... ? Educational News. Mb. Editoe: An'article in a'late number of the News has set me to think? ing. I refer rather to two articles, Mrs. Kellogg'a caustic criticism on Pennsyl? vania examinations and your editorial on "A Rwforn^eeded/' discussing the same subject When you come to think of it, it does seem not only funny but really absurd that Pennsylvania teachers have to be examined so much, simply to grat? ify somebody's fanatical notion that they ought to be examined. "Isn't it time for us to get out of the nofion that a man's fitness for teaching is determined by the amount of grammar and arithmetic he knows? I know-there are many men who still argue that any one can teach that knows enough. Well, that is perhaps true, if he knows enough t&know/hat he is not fit to teach.; But the- general trouble with the man that knows so much is that he hasn't yet reached the point of knowing himself or his fitness or unfitness for his work. I happened to meet a learned clergyman a short time ago who was honored by ap? pointment to the board of trustees of a prominent college. When a vacancy occurred in the presidency of the insti? tution, what did our learned friend do but immediately proceed to the worst kind of log rolling to secure as the new president, a superannuated clergyman who had a reputation for great scholar? ship? Did he succeed? Yes: for his arguments with that board of trustees were unanswerable. "Hadn't the Rev. Blanc served the church faithfully and well as a minister for forty years? Wasn't he always noted for profound scholarship? Wasn't he too old to preach any longer? And, wasn't he therefore, just the man to fill the position with dignity and honor ?" etc. Who could answer such arguments ? Well, they were not answered, for the simple reason that the fossils who con? stituted the board would listen to no an? swers. A young member of the board, who happened to believe that something more was needed than profound scholar? ship and dignity to constitute even a col? lege president, had the boldness to put a query as to whether the gentleman pro {>osed had any teaching ability, or was ikely to prove a good executive officer, or knew anything of the management of young men, but he was so thoroughly Bquelched by the astonishment of his brothers at asking such questions, that he remained silent and awaited results. }Now^-I wdulcHike to tellyou of the dismaf failure that college president made ; how the students of the institu? tion disobeyetfeyery moral law and made themselves the terror of the community ; leaving homV.moral yquug.men with the intentioa^of preparing for-the ministry and commg\homa reprobates, outlaws and moral lepers; but if I were to give you the, details, it is possible that my subject,fiight^e recognized, and I pre? fer not to oo hini any more harm; he has done, himself too much harm already by-accepting a.position for "which he and his earnestfrienii.ought to have.known, lie was wholly unfit. Bat my learned friend had an idea. It was that " every man that is a good scholar and is big enough to thrasn the biggest boys will necessarily be a good teacher. Nothing, of course, could be more erroneous than this. But, after, all, isn't this just the iidee/ 'oh which Pennsylvania teachers' examinations are based? What under the sun is the relation between profound scholarship and aptness to teach ? Some of the brightest scholars are the worst failures in the school-room. Imagine Locke, Sir William Hamilton, or Lap? lace, in the Kindergarten or teaching beginners to read. We have no doubt they would have failed. Nothing is more certain than that to teach well one must bring himself to his pupil's level. One of the troubles of our overwise men is that they shoot over the heads of their pupils and fail to impart instruction in a shape intelligible to theiesrner. Every teacher knows that oft'ejii when all- his own ingenuity and patience have been exhausted in trying unsuccessfully to explain a point to a pupil, .that same pupil will catch a hint from an associate which clears up the difficulty at once. I think it is an outrage upon ^Pennsyl? vania teachers that they are subjected to so many examinations, when the result of the examination .n^gn&so little*; if the teacher could be seen at his work for an hour, or if a special class or two were brought in and he were required to teach a half hour, an intelligent board of direc* tors would be able in less than ten min? utes to determine whether or not ho wouldbe^successful in their school-room. I agree wi&;y"od Ihai^saperiotendents should Be empowered t?-renewall grades of 'Certificates,- the provisional from year to year, uuless the candidate himself prefer to go into the examination to secure a better certificate than he held before. Just as soon as the standard is fixed at the professional certificate, or when it is understood that as soon as a teacher reaches one and a-half, allowing that one half for excitement, confusion from the presence"of visitors, improper questions by the examining officer, etc., he need pass no farther examination in that branch, we shall have ten anxious for the examination where now nine detest it and worry about it, while possibly one is willing to undergo the ordeal. If teach? ers must be examined and examined, let ' it be not as to their scholarship but as to their fitness to teach and their success in the actual work of teaching. I hope, Mr. Editor, that while your article has set me to thinking and talk? ing that my, little effort may not fail in helping teachers and. superintendents to see tbls'tjuestion in its true 'light. We have been taking our ease too long in this State; it is time that we move for? ward. Our prejudices are strong, I know, but .they are not worthy, of us. We old men are partially to blame because we do not give the youngsters more encourage: ment to take a hand in the fight. Yours for improvement, T. Thomson, Esquire. Rev. Sam. Jones. .Thank God for affliction. A man that has not known affliction is not reliable. Trouble, trouble! Thank God for trouble! When a religious man gets into trouble it means something. I have been in the fire sometimes tilll thought I would burn up. The best woman in this town is the woman who has waded through trouble that an angel could not have endured. Affliction mellows us and gives us sympathy with the human kind. j^Lrpd pity him,who has no sympa? thy in hi3 heart.Sympathy '.ain'ton the market. It is born in the deepest trou? ble and anguish in this life. Endure afflictions. - When God wants to strike us with afflictions let us not run, .but stand and take 'em. Ho sends 'em wise? ly. I know that:when I gefctp.,Heaven I will have to come through affliction. Hence, I say/ Father take my hand and' I will follow where thou lead est. | I like a religion that goes all around a man and all through him. WhatNash vill8:peppleiwant is a revival of honesty. ;Be bbriestrand'pay your debts. There's too many men in the church boarding I with their wives. We've got no charac? ter in the church. Go down and. talk your Methodism to a merchant accT he'll itell you that if you want goods on a credit jour Methodism ain't worth a cent on the dollar. If you go and ask a mer? chant for credit and tell him you're, a Presbyterian he'll say come back here and look at the Presbyterian names on my book and you'll see why I am forced to draw the line on Presbyterians. They are just ruining me. Next to' the mean? est man in the world is the man who won't pay his debts. But the meanest man is that old money sharp, with long old bills and teeth like an alligator, that pushes a poor debtor to the wall and crushes the life out of him and never leaves a greasy-spot- Talk about, an honest man starving to death ! they wonT starve. God will feed an honest man, if He has to p?t the angels on half rations. I want to have all the States abolish their bankrupt laws,' and the like. The only thing that I'll ever take the homestead on is my religion, and I wouldn't homestead that if I could do without it. I've got no confidence in any man's integrity that ignores his Makec I'd ratherjtell my children on my death bed to go and live as their father had lived than to leave them all the wealth of the Rothschilds and Vanderbilta. A good man don't die; he passes away. - It's just that way, ana you're telling the thing straight now; the old church has been gravitating downward and back? ward so long that she's so low down now that the world would back water on them, aod they can't ditch it off. This thing of failing to pay your debts is a terrible thing. God pity a man that will ride in a $500 carriage and see his poor creditor walking alone. God pity a man who will board with his wife in a $50, 000 boarding housejmd he owing a bill to some poor, wonTout woman, who is dying from poverty. My God, if you ve got any Buch men in this church, disgorge, disgorge. We want men to pay their debts. The Men Who Succeed. Says the Manufacturers1 Uazettc: "The young men who receive promotion are the men who do not drink on the sly. They are not the men who are always at the front whenever there is any strike, nor are they the men who watch for the clock to strike twelve and leave their picks hanging in the air. They are not the men who growl if they are required to attend to some duty a few minutes after the whistle has sounded. They are the men usually who pay the closest at? tention to the details of their business, who act as though they were trying to work for their employer's interest instead of to beat him at every crook and turn. They are the men who give the closest attention to every practical detail, and who look continually to see whether they can do any better or not. This class of men are never out of ajob. They are scarce. They never strike, they never loaf, and they do not ask for their pay two or three weekB before pay day." ANTIETAM, A. Soldier's Tribute to a Soldier's Valor. General McCIellan, who commanded the union forces at the battle of Antie-' tarn, in 18G3, visited that historic field last Saturday, where he delivered an ora? tion on decoration day. During his stay I in Hagerstown, Genera! McClelland was the guest of Major H. Kyd Douglas, a j member of Stonewall Jackson's staff at the battle of An tie t am. The correspond I ent of the Baltimore Sun furnishes that paper with the following synopsis of the oration, viz I General McCIellan said: "When I last stood upon this historic field the smoke of battle still wreathed these hills and filled these valleys; these rocks still re-echoed the harsh sounds of strife, and the ground was all too thickly strewn with the forms of the quiet dead and of those still writhing in agony. Two great armies had met in deadly strife, the fate of a nation hanging upon the result. Within the walls of this vast cemetery, peopled almost in a single day, those who met death sleep after their long and desperate struggle. These men who laid down their own and sought each other's lives in fierce but loyal battle, have been placed almost side by side awaiting that last dread trumpet sound that shall call tbem to life again. There are here to? day those who fought on either side; men who, clad in gray, followed the no? ble Lee, and we who wore the blue. We are here with a common purpose?to .testify, our reverence for the valiant dead. So let us . bury, all animosity, all bitter recollections of the - past, remembering: only that on Antietam's hills brave men gave their lives for what they thought "right. I pray that this fair land of ours may never again be the scene of such, .carnage. I shall not trench upon the causes of that war further than to say that our children should never forget that it was brought about, and even made necessary by Ithe-extremists of the two sides. If the moderate men, North aud South, could have controlled even the dread arbitrament of arms might have been avoided. I and my fellow Demo? crats of the North fought for the Union because we believed that it contained within, itself the power of insuring all possible^good;things to this people, .and of securing us against unnumbered evils, and chiefly because we believed that we could see the hand of God guiding our fathers in the creation of a nation des? tined to. become the greatest of which history bears record. We feltthat it was our sacred duty to oner our lives as his feeble instrument in the preservation of the magnificent edifice His hand had reared. Those on the other side, smart? ing at the j time under actual or appre bended evils, honestly differed from us. I dare not judge them, for their perfect honesty was proved by the magnitude of the sacrifices they made for the cause they deemed just. I believed, and still believe, that it is impossible for two governments to exist in this land of ours without soon coming into collision on some secondary question, and that it was better to fight at once for the maiu issue. I do not judge those who honestly held different views, but I rejoice that the logic of events has sustained my own, and still more do I rejoice .that the vast majority of those who fought so earnest* ly on the other side cheerfully accept the result and are proud of their citizenship in our land, at last thoroughly united. "In the ages of future generations how Btrange, how romantic and how stirring will always seem the history of these two armies, pitted against each other through long years of battle from York town to Appomattox, where the scanty and mangled remains of the great army of northern Virginia laid down its arms, but not its honor. Thanks to the man? agement of the great soldier who led tbe Union army?now, alas I a prey, to dis? ease?there was nothing said or done to create personal hate or to came tbe blush of shame. When we look back upon that day and that other army which made its advance . from ] yonder heights across tbe Antietam?that grand army of the Potomac?what more can I say of it than I have often said in the past ? It was ever worthy of its fame, whether iu adversity or succoss, and never more so than in the field. No page of its long history is obscured by shame, and as one who commanded it through times of ex? treme trial I can justly say that it never failed me in the hour of need. I am glad that I have been permitted to live until the ability and virture of Robert E. Lee, aud the achievements of the army of northern Virginia, as well as the he 'rbiBtn and renown of the Grand Army of tbe Potomac have already become part of ? common heritage of glory of all our people. Would I could meet here to day tbe living presence of that splendid man aud Boldier Robert E. Lee, in' this very field, where, in all honor and earnestness we strove as enemies, and even take him by the hand as in the. long past days when "we served together in the land of the Montezumas.' I know that his nature 'boxe.'jaq. malice, and'that he would be the first to respond to the greeting and unite with us in paying to the gallant dead of this Army of the Potamac the same trib? ute I offer to his Army of Northern Virginia. He Was "Mashed." The mud was about three feet deep on the streets. Some good Samaritan had -placed a few planks on the crossing, but there was not room enough for two to pass. Portly was going down the street, and was right in the center of the cross? ing before he noticed that a richly dressed lady, heavily veiled, was ap? proaching from the opposite corner. "Ah," thought he, .she is beautiful. "What a form, and what a tiny foot, I would like to get a glimpse of her sweet face. I will step aside and allow her to pass; then she may raise her veil. I might easily retrace my steps, but no; what do I care for a little mud." So with a sweet smile as the lady ap? proached, he gallently stepped aside, filling his shoes full of the rich black mud. "How very kind of you; Robert," said tbe lady, raising her veil. . "Thed-1, is that you, Annie?" he growled, as he brushed the bottom of his punts with his pocket-handkerchief, "Why the dickens couldn't you wait ou the corner till I had got across? Just eee what you've made me do. These pants are ruined, aud you know I only bought them last week. Well, you'll have a nice job cleaning them now when you get home," and he passed on, think? ing what a fool he bad been trying to "mash" his own wife. How an Insect Breathes. if we take any moderately large insect, say a wasp or a hornet, we can see, even with the naked eye, that a series of small, spot like marks run along either side of the body. These apparent spots, which arc generally eighteen or tweuty in num? ber, are, in fact, the apertures through which air is admitted into the system, and are generally found in such a man? ner that no extraneous matter can by any possibility find entrance. Sometimes they are furnished with a pair of horny lips, which can be opened and closed at the will of the insect; in other cases they are densely fringed with still inter? lacing bristles, forming a filter, which allows air, and air alone to pass. But the apparatus, of whatever character it may be, is always so wonderfully perfect in its action that it has been found im? possible to inject the body of a dead insect with even so subtile a medium as spirits of wino, although the subject w,ns first immersed in the fluid and then plac? ed beneath the receiver of an air pump. ?Boston Budget. ? A dollar, worth $600, according to a recently issued catalogue, is the silver dollar of 1804. Actions Speak Loader Titan Words. Our daily actions speak either for good or ill. No matter now much we may preach, if we do not verify it by our ac? tions, it is oft-times lost, but a good ex? ample is a lesson of itself. If we would teach a child who has arrived at years of understanding, how much easier it would be to teach him by our example than by preaching to him. Children's minds are very susceptible to the influences that surround them. How common is it to hear children say, "My mother sayB so, or my father says so." How important theu are all our actions, especially in the family where young minds are being moulded. Think of this, parents, that' your children's minds and habits are being shaped and.- formed from yours. The family is a training school, and if you want your children to grow up to be good, useful citizens, you must set the example. If you want them to become Christian men and women, you must set the..example^ ..You cannot.;expect a child to grow to love the Sabbatb-scbool, if he is allowed to go or not as he pleases, and you never go with him. The opin? ions expressed in the family are treasured up by the children. We learn more from precept and -' example than by thought and study'. Speak little, but practice much.?Household. ? A bright story is told of tho accom? plished wife?now dead?of General Hooker. When she was the admired Miss Groesbeck, of Cincinnati, she was once at an evening party, when a fash? ionable young dandy was asked if he would like to be presented to her. "Ob, yes," said he, languidly, "trot her out." Tbt lady overheard the remark, and when he was presented, she adjusted her eyeglasses deliberately and slowly scann? ed bis clothing from boot to collar. The survey finished, she waved her hand and carelessly said : "Trot him back, I have seen all there is of him." ? A springs chicken r'escaped from a coop that^-was" being hauled through Main street, In Chattanooga the other day, and flew into a china store, where it lit on some expeusive glass ware and vases, and broke goods to the value of $150. The owner of the store sued the owner of the chicken, and recovered the amount of damages, plus costs. The defendant has appealed to a higher court, but it appears as if the chances are against him, and the whole amount the fifteen cent fowl will cost him probably be, including -lawyer's "fees, about $225. It was a prbfryUongh Vpring"chicken. A KISS BY From time immemorial, no one will pretend to deny the fact that kisses have been held in high repute by both sexes?whether active or passive. It has been decided that a LEGAL KISS implies ACTION on both parties; but when a lady simply consents to be kissed without action of bri- lips, it constitutes only a PASSIVE kiss?a swoct deprived of its nectar. Snugly enconscd within a moss-embowered and vine-clad verandah, and almost hid from view amid sweet-scented honeysuckles, was seated a fair Atlanta nymph, whose beautiful dark eyes, alabas? ter complexion and voluptous contour, seemed to DAZE the young gent by her side, who gv?r and anon while circumnavigating hor slender waist, gave her a BUSS and then a RE-BUSS to the amazement of a pedestrian who happened to be passing that beautiful moonlight night. At that moment the lover was heard to ask: "My dear darling Sarah Jane, you are becoming more beau? tiful every day ; your eyes sparkle with more bril? liancy, your once pale checks have been painu-d by the roseate hues of nature, and you seem to have entirely regained your health. Will you tell me the cause of the change?" "I have simply used that wondcifully cfl'eclivo blood remedy known as B. B. B." The Atlanta Constitution. In a long article relating to the B. B.
