T^A?H^'?OI/?MN. J. G. CLINKSCALES, Editob. OTJBICOM?OH SCHOOLS. ||We fully intended to publish the fol? lowing editorial of the Newberry News and Herald on State and County Nor? mals last week, but, by some oversight, neglected to hand it to the printer. Read it carefully. It is written by a gentle? man of ability: We are glad to see two County School Commissioners giving to the public their ideas about certain questions affecting the efficiency of our public school system. These officers should make the system a special study, and should be better pre* pared than any one else to point out the defects and suggest improvements. Commissioners Clinkscales, of Ander* son, and Mellichamp, of Orangeburg, have both recently spoken in regard to matters .connected with the common schools. We would like to touch upon the sub* ject of each communication, but this week we will only have space to notice Commissioner Clinkscales* utterances. The great question with the school authorities at present is, how to get better teachers in the present state of the school fund ? The communications above boo* ken of are attempts to answer this ques? tion. Of course, if we had plenty of money; and could give good wages all the year round, the difficulties would all disappear. Commissioner Clinkscales takes up the subject of State and County Normal Institutes as affecting the effi? ciency of our teachers, and thinks there is no longer a necessity for the State Normal, but that "the County Normal unquestionably comes nearer accomplish? ing the purpose intended by such schools." In our opinion, what we need is both a State and County Normal. Both have *an important work to do, but both need to be organized upon a different basis. We agree with Commissioner Clinkscales that the State Normal Institute should be located at Colombia. We think that no measure would do more to furnish competent teachers, and improve the common schools of the State than to establish at Columbia a Normal Institute, thoroughly provided with a competent corps of instructors, which institute should be open for five or six months of the year. Such an institution might be estab? lished with the fund that is now appro? priated to the peripatetic State Normal, and the amonnt which each county is now authorized by law to appropriate for a County Normal.. Then in each county let Teachers' Associations be formed; holding a meet? ing every month for the purposes of mutual improvement, and a session of a . week in summer for Normal instruction. These Normal sessions need cost no money * for with a first-class' Normal school, in Columbia, we would soon have in every county a number of teachers thoroughly competent to give instruction in the art of teaching, and whose services, as members of these teachers'associations, could be procured without cost. Three or four weeks of Normal in? struction, daring the year will produce no thoroughly trained teachers, particu? larly-when one-fourth of this time is spent in useless ceremony, speech* * making and compliments as is now the case with our State Normal. I ?n^m. What we need is a permanent Normal BcbfjfcHfcljere a certain per cent, of our teachers can be thoroughly trained for their. work\very year. These trained workers will raise the standard and improve the mass of the teachers in every county. ul wish I had my lire to live over." That remark was made in our hearing not long since by a young man not yet . twenty years of age. He was trying to persuade himself that if he could just start again he would do wonders. Poor . fellow I what is he lamenting over the wasted nineteen years for? Better look after the present and future and let the past-, take care of itself. What young ? man nnder twenty years of age, and possessed of a reasonable amount of determination, can not make the future a glorious success, however noticeable may have been his derelictions of past duties ? The yonng man is mistaken. He is deceiving himself. If it were possible for him to live his life over again, he wonld doubtless repeat it to the letter. There is no better point along the jour? ney of life for making a new departure . than the mile-stone he has just reached. "~ But he does not stand alone in this matter. There are thousands of young men all over the country, just hanging ??ajpund loose, trying hard to kill time, and wishing they had started right. Wishes are not worth a baubee unless they are deep enough, and strong enough, and hearty enough and honest enough to make one act. Hide the failures of the past in the acknowledged successes of j the future. Idle wishes and passively good intentions have never yet made life a success. Every yonng man must learn sooner or later that one must have a certain amount of that commodity called vkn before he can reasonably hope to succeed. Nor must that vim bo a wild, reckless element in his nature unguarded and misguided. If the present and the future are worth anything, the present is worth appreciating and the future is worth planning for. Young man if you read these lines, wake up! Stop I Think 1 Get your bearings! You are just now ready to take hold of life in earnest, and grapple with its difficulties in the con? sciousness of possessing the strength, and nerve*, and sinews of a man. If life is worth living at all, it is worth living well; it is at least worth an earnest effort "* on your part. _"We live in thoughts, not words ; in deeds, not years. In feelings, not in figures on a dial. He most lives who thinks most. Feels the noblest, acts the best." Mr. Vickery responds with his usual promptness to our question as to how the Normal bad been beneficial to him. He says: "Dr. Lander's practical views on mathematics, Miss McCant's common sense way of teaching geography and the many sensible suggestions in the lectures of the able Principal, Prof. Morrison, so considerably widened my views and gave me such a different idea of the teacher's work, that it is almost impossible for me to say to what extent I was benefited. No thoughtful teacher can doubt that the Normal was a grand success. I know I am a more hopeful and more determined teacher than before. I bave introduced several of the new features into my school and have found the results even beyond my expec? tations. I have tried calisthenics in my school and find the children enjoy it and are benefited by the healthful exercise, I have introduced the question box too. My pupils take great interest in it. Questions of various kinds are put in and a multiplicity of answers are given 'to. them. Speaking figuratively, my -"-pupils are carried away with the question box and with calisthenics. Strange must j he the man or woman that did not catch inspiration from the exercises at the County Normal.'' ? Subscribe for this paper. Enjoyment of work comes from hap? piness in that work. The moping misanthrope who effects gravity because he is affected with dyspepsia, whose sad countenance indicates the seriousness of his disorders, saoulc avoid society. Nobody will be his frit nd for the reason that he is net on friendly terms with himself. Borne one of our minor poets has written in the major key a few verses that are as true as they are witty : Laugh, and the world kughs with you, " Weep, and you Weep alone; For this brave old earth must borrow its mirth, It has trouble enough of its own. Rejoice, and men will seek yon, ! Grieve, and they turn and go; They want full measure of all your pleas? ure, But do not want your woe ! Be glad and your friends are many - Be sad, and you lose them all, There arc none to decline your nectared wine, But alone you must drink life's sail. What a world of truth is here for the teacher. A. hearty laugh has often governed a troublesome class when commands had lost their power. Suc? cessful teachers have always been happy teachers. Many of the old teachers of New England were very serious in their work, and this did harm. They took very sober views of life. Tears to them were omens of progress, laughs deserved tobe followed by blows.?Jhachers' In Col. Fred Grant on His Father's Po? sition in the Winter of IS76--77. A good deal of attention has been at? tracted to the recent article of Mr. Childs of Philadelphia about Gen. Grant. One point in particular has been the subject of wide-spread comtnetu This Was Mr. Childs's declaration that Gen. Grant was convinced that Tilden was elected. I had a talk with Col. Fred Grant the other day upon this vt'.ty subject. Col. Grant said that he Was with his father a food deal during the Winter of 1876-77. [e has in his possession papers which throw light upon Gem Grant's belief at that particular time. Col. Grant says he does not think the.t his father was clearly of the opinion that Tilden was entitled to the seat. He says bis father thought that there was so much fraud upon both sides that the title of either Hayes or Tilden would have been cloud? ed. He said; "I think father's idea was that there Should bn a new election. At least that was his original idea. He was satisfied' that whatever result was accomplished there would be a very large number of people throughout the country dissatisfied and disposed to look upon such result with serious distrust To avoid this my father hoped to reach some sort of compromise which would result in no election. Then the Secretary of State would have been obliged to give notice for another election. My father was not able to secure this result. The Electoral Commission was a second thought and was really a compromise." T. C. Crawford in New York World. WOMAN AND HOME. . '~"v- *v _____ Aphorisms Relating to the Laws of Good Mannen. "What a rare gift," says Bulwer, "is that of man ners! How difficult to define ?how much more difficult to impart. Better for a man to pursue them than wealth, beauty or even talent. If it fall short of genuis?they will more than supply all. He then ebjoys their advan? tages in the highest degree, viz, he who can please, penetrate, persuade, as the object may require* possesses the subtlest secret of the diplomatist and the states? man." For the easy convenience of our readers much pains has been taken to re? duce to aphoristic form some of the accepted laws that regulate manners I Never pick your teeth at table. Never seal a letter of. introduction. Remember everything except an injury. Do not make an ostentation of your dress. The grace of patience well becomes a man. The guest who comes late spoils the dinner. True politeness has no time to think of itself. Self-consciousness is the essence of vulgarity. Good temper iB the essence of good manners. Do not press a favor where you see it will be unwelcome. There is no flattery so exquisite as the flattery of listening. The last injury which a man forgives is a wrong to bisself-love. A sarcasm is like a boomerang?you never know where it may light. A married lady when she makes a call will leave her husband's card. A man who talks slang iu a lady*s hearing stands in need of discipline. Be careful how you convince your friend that he has made a mistake. A young lady may give her hand to a stranger, but will not shake his. In helping any oue at table never use a knife when you can use a spoon. Pride, ill-nature and want of sense are the three great sources of ill-manners. "Learn to hold your tongue. Five words coat Zacharias forty weeks' silence." Give up to cads and snobs the practice of smoking in the streets or in a theatre. In passing from the drawing-room to the dining-room the lady takes prece? dence. Nothing indicates a well-bred man more than proper mode of eating his dinner. If you meet an acquaintance while walking with a friend do not introduce them. A rudeness is worse than a crime; it is a blunder because it is so easy to he polite. Never use your knife to convey your food to your month under any circum? stances. The most disagreeable talk is that which turns upon a man's or woman's maladies. A married lady should treat a stranger with reserve, an acquaintance with re? ticence. ? In making calls do your best to lighten the affliction to your hostess. Do not stay long. Good manners is the art of making easy the persons with whom we are brought in contact. Gentlemen do not take off their hats to each other. This is a courtesy re? served for the ladies. Never make introductions unless you have good reason to believe that both parties are agreeable. In the country gentlemen do not offer tbeir arm to ladies; but in large towns this should be done. In railroad traveling no gentleman will address a lady who is unknown to him unless she invites it. There are three articles of dress which Ere-eminently show the gentleman? ats, boots and gloves. Ladies should remember, that the art of dressing well lies in the happy com bination and harmony of colors. Never give letters of introduction unless you are prepared to be responsible for the persons to whom they are given. Carry your hat and cane (but not your umbrella) into the drawing room a* a visible cign of your intention to leave quickly. Be specially careful in making intro? ductions to ladies. It i3 an insult if you present to a lady any persons of doubt? ful reputation. There is no policy like politeness, and a good manner is the best thing in the world either to get a good name or sup? ply the want of it. In bowing to a lady in the street lift Jour hat off your head. Do not allow er to suppose" that you wear a wig and are afraid to disarrange it. The holder of a letter of introduction should send it with his card of address. The receiver, if he be a gentleman will call upon you without delay. If you pass an acquaintance with a lady on his arm do not nod; take off your hat, so that your salute may seem to include both your friend and the ludy. Avoid onions; or, afler partaking of them, shut yourself up in the solitude of your chamber until you are purified. A story is told of an onion eater who en? tered an inn with the remark that for the ? last two hoars he had the wind in his teeth. "Had you I" exclaimed one of the company; ""then, by jove, sir, the wind had the worst of it." The Increase of Crime. The frequent announcement heralded throughout the country of the commis? sion of crimes representing all the grades of violation of criminal law, from the offender guilty of some minor offence to the hardened criminal charged with the most heinous crime is leading to the general discussion as to whether crime is on the increase in this country or not. It certainly must be admitted that one class of offences, embracing official cor? ruption and violation of personal trust, has been so frequent of late as to indicate that crimes of this character are more numerous than formerly. Officials charged with the disbursement of pUblic money are suddenly discovered to have squandered large sums in speculation or extravagant living. Cashiers of banks and other moneyed corporations are ascertained to have violated the confi? dence reposed in them, and ruined the financial standing and ability of the institutions which they feplfesent. The crimes attract general public attention ; the high character of the parties involv? ed, their social position, their friends and family connections, all add to the interest and magnitude of the offence: and the avidity with which the details are seized by the public press, the anxie? ty of the public for all the particulars, give a prominence to these offences that leads the public to presume that, for some reason or other, crime is fearfully on the increase. The facts do ?bt sustain the idea-. The catalogue of crime and the list of offenders are hot to-day ?s great, propor? tionately, as in former years, the result, to a certain" extent, of the general im? provement of the moral tone upon many vital questions of the entire community, the prompt execution of the law, and the effectiveness and ability of police and detective officers. These defalcations in official and private relations are the sad? dest of all crimes, for generally the ruin and disgrace are fblt most keenly in that society whence the greatest security from crime should come. In many cases the criminal is led for? ward by tome imaginary gain, by some confiding friend or some plausible mo? tive, and fails to realize his danger until, public discovery whirls him into the vortex of irredeemable disgrace and per? sonal infamy. Society itself is at fault for much of this. The passion of the time for extravagant living, for showy equipages, for palatial residences and for all the trappings and display of luxury is so general that men rush into it heed? lessly, and hope for some fortunate relief until hopelessly lost. We know of no subject more earnestly demanding the careful, honest and. can? did discussion of those most, interested in the welfare of society than the admitted tendency in American life to extrava* fant living. It has no bound of control, t has no limit to its demand for display. The man who has his millions of capital, and the man on meagre salary, vie with each for supremacy. It -permeates society; it enters the family circle pit becomes the passion of the wife and the1 glory of the children." Dress,'"display and extravagance rule the household, and in the turmoil and contest in which the man joins, anxious for success, he ventures here attd presumes on this, and awakens up from his happy dream to find his family ruined and his reputation gone.. Could some one call out in tones of warning that would enter the charmed circle ana warn -them of the danger, many a poor man might be saved from disgrace and infamy. Until men have independence enough to live within their means and cease this struggle to compete with wealth and luxurious living, we may expect a con? stant recurrence bf these unfortunate defalcations. The fault is in our society, and the remedy lies in a reform, which must be led by men of independence, of character and of reputation. When this is done we shall have fewer crimes of this character to notice, and fewer heartrendering scenes in connection with them to pub? lish.?Farmers1 Advance. - Huckleu's Arnica Solve.

" U:ti!l.'men: My father resides at Glover, Vt. lie lias been a great sufferer from Scrof? ula, nud the inclosed letter will tell too what a marvelous cilcct Ayers Sarsaparilla hai had In his case. I think his blood must havo contained the humor for at least ten years; but it did not show, except in the form of a scrofulous soro on tho wrist, until about five years ngo. From a few spots which ap? peared at that time, It gradually spread so as to cover his cntlro body. I assure you ho was terribly afllicted, and an object of pity, when he began using your modiclno. Now, thoro aro few men of his ago who enjoy as good health aa ho has. I could easily namo fifty persons who would testify to the facts In his case. Yours truly, W. M. PHILLIPS." FROM THE FATHER: a duty for mo to stato to yon tho benefit I have- derived from the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, Six months ago I was completely covcrod with a terriblo humor and scrofulous sores. The humor caused an Incessant and Intolorablo Itching, and the skin cracked so as to cause tho blood to flow in many places whenever I moved. My sufferings wero great, and my lifo a burden. I commenced tho use of tho Sarsaparilla In April last, and have used it regularly since that time. My condition began to improve at once. Tho sores haro nil healed, and I feol perfectly well In every respect?boing now able to do a good day's work, although 73 years of age.
