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. ,

THE MEMORY.
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

The only thing that I'll ever take the

wouldn't homestead that if I could do
without it.
I've got no confidence in any man's

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.

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?

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?"

in the last fifty years. Manufactured in
Baltimore, it stands our climate best. For
combination of volume and richness of
tone, together with refined sweetness and
purity, IT STANDS THE LEADING
PIANO FORTE OF AMERICA. Sub?
stantial and durable. Fully warranted for
five years.
I THE VERDICT
OF THE PEOPLE, seems, they will not
buy any but the?
STANDARD ORGAN,
Made by Peloubot & Co. In fifteen months
Isold thirty-one of them, and published
the testimony of the satisfaction of the
purchasers to the world. I have tried to
sell four other makes of Organs for the last
two years and only ?old four. Now, the
people's judgment may be wrong?but that J
is their VERDICT. They prefer the Stan?
dard Organ, made by Peloubet & Co.
Hence, I will not sell any other Instru?
ment but the above. Sold ON EASY
TERMS. Come and sec me, or write to
