^??HllJr^'?oLUMN, J. G. CLLNKSCALES, Editor. Mr. W. J. Compton, in Fork Town? ship, runs his school ten months. He will not teach any other kind, and his patrons understand it. They know how to appreciate a faithful teacher, and are willing to pay for his services. We are sorry to lose' Mr. D. H. Russell from the number of our teachers. He is a faithful and painstaking teacher and ought to have regular work in the school room. vVhile he is not actively engaged in the work, we are confident the great cause of education will have his earnest sympathy and ever-abiding interest. Our best wishes attend him. It gives us pleasure to notice that Miss Leonora Hubbard is one of the regular correspondents of the Carolina Teacher. Our readers have made Miss Hubbard's acquaintance in the Teachers' Column. 'We congratulate the members of the Anderson County Teachers' Association that they are represented in the columns of that excellent paper by so worthy a member. % Unavoidable circumstances prevented a meeeiog of the Anderson County Teachers' Association last Fall. As early as practicable the executive com? mittee will arrange for a- meeting. Due notice will bo given through this Column, and it is hoped that every teacher in the County will try to attend. One meeting in a few weeks and another in the Spring will contribute no little to the general ^interest in the cause. Let our readers not suppose that be? cause there will bo no public schools during the Spring months, we will have ^ no need of a Teachers' Institute. We hope to arrange for a two weeks' session in accordance with the wishes of the teacher-pupils at the closing exercises of the Institute lost Summer. Already we have employed two instructors. We were forced to be thus hasty on account of the great demand for persons compe? tent for positions of so great responsi? bility. Let the interest in the cause of education jiot be abated, but let the teachers take advantage of the suspen? sion of tho public "schools to "better pre? pare themselves for the work of the future. If the first Teachers' Institute accomplished some good, the next one must accomplish a great deal. Let us work for it and expect it While in Columbia, in December, the pressure of business prevented our spend? ing more than a few minutes in the Graded-Schoola. We saw enough, how? ever, in those few minutes to convince us that system and order are the watch : .\words, and that the business-like manner of doing things there pays. We found Prof. Johnson, the Superintendent of the Graded Schools and one of the- edi? tors of The Carolina Tcachertfflto accom-.. plisbed and affable gentleman, and had the pleasure of meeting again Miss Fan uie McCants, so well known to the ma? jority of our [teachers. Miss Sei by's pleasing face and easy manner contri? buted largely to the pleasure of our visit, too, and altogether our visit to the Graded Schools of Columbia, though short, was pleasant and profitable. Miss McCants, who presides so easily and gracefully over one of the rooms there, and who contributed so considerably to the success of the Teachers' Institute last year, has consented to" be with us again next Summer. That fact alone . almost insures success. Last week we expressed the opinion that the close of the public schools would, in the end, be well for the educa? tional interests of the County. The fact that, already, in many sections of the County, private, or subscription, schools have been made up, is evidence of the correctness of that opinion. Our people had learned to rely, some of them, en? tirely upon the public fund for the edu? cation of their children. That fund of itself ? insufficient, and many children . that deserve better things at the hands of their parents are allowed to grow up in comparative ignorance. Either igno? rance or a pusilanimons stinginess makes some men measure the education of their children by the face of their tax receipts. This temporary suspension of the public schools will test the earnestness of a great, many in this matter of education. There are plenty teachers and some good school-houses in the County; let the teachers be employed and the houses be occupied. Let the citizens in the neigh? borhood of Craytonville give a strong snpport to Miss Minerva Drake, who has labored many long months faithfully and well among their children. They cap not afford to lose her. The Generostee school is to be in the hands of Miss Lila Prince. The patrons of that school say they are ^determined to have a school. Miss Prince will do them good service. At Salem, Mr. W. P. Holland "teaches the young idea how to shoot," and is supported by the-wide-awake citizens in that Community? And so, at various other sections of the County, subscrip? tion schools are running, or the subject is very earnestly agitated. Let the good work go on. If you haven't a teacher, but are in earnest when you say you want one, write to me, and I think you can be supplied. Times are hard and money is scarce, but a little economy practiced on the part of our citizens * would support many schools, and prove a blessing to thousands of little ones. per severance. Perseverance is a thing Of which poets often sing; And it Is, and always will Be, a thing to sing of still. As long as man himself shall last, Until the present age is past; Tes, 'till the world itself shall end, It's merits will be ever pen'd. Perseverance conquers all, All our tasks, though great or small. By persevering you may be As great a man as Pope or Lee. There is nothing that we meet In our school, or on the street, That can not be overcome, If we stop and try it some. P. T. G. ? Senator Blair has prepared a bill giving absolute Prohibition to the Dis? trict of Columbia. He will also make an effort to amend the Constitution so as to prohibit the manufacture, sale, im? portation, exportation and transportation of alcoholic beverages anywhere within I the limits of the national domain. STOBIES FOB EEPBODTJCTION. From the Teachers' Institute. i. Three ladies once had a dispute as to which bad the most beautiful hands. One sat by a stream and, dipping her band into the water, held it up, white and dripping. "What could be more beautiful ?" she cried. Another picked strawberries until the ends of her fingers were pink. "These are," said she. The third gathered violets until her bands were fragrant, and said, "But these are most beautiful." Ad old ragged woman, passing by, asked, "Who will give me some bread ? I am very hungry." All three of the ladies refused to give her anything. Near them sat another lady who had made do boast of the beauty of her hands, nor tried to improve their looks. ? She gave to the old woman food and money. Then the beggar asked what they had been disputing about; they told her and lifted up their beautiful hands. "They are beautiful indeed," she said. But when they asked which were the most beautiful, she said, "Not the band that is washed clean in the brook, not the hand that is tipped with red, Dot the hand that is garlanded with flowers, but the hand that gives to the poor." As she said this her wrinkles fled, her staff was thrown away and she stood be? fore them, an angel from Heaven, with the power to decide the question io dis? pute. And that decision has stood the test of all time. n. Goo boo was a monkey of high degree, who lived in a jungle in India. He was the chief of a tribe of brown monkeys, and the greatest thief in the forest. When he was young, he received a severe bite through the cords of one leg, while fighting with a gray monkey, and this left him lame. So he loafed around a large temple that stood on the edge of a jungle, and watched bin chance* to steal his daily food. Sometimes, there would be a festival at the temple,' and throngs of pilgrims would conti) up to worship, some on foot and some in wagons. They all camped outside the temple-wall, and cooked their food oyer rude fire-places, built of stones. Durlug these festivals, the monkeys had a picoiu. Swarms of them hung around, ready to snatch up anything they could lay their little brown hands oo. Chief among these thieves was Gooboo, and his chief victim was an old, hump-backed woman, who kept a little booth at the temple-gate, and sold ?boiled beans, palm-sugar and some greasy-looking cakes, that she fried at a little earthen fire-place at her side. One day, as he sat. on the image above her, he saw the palm-leaf fan fall by her side. This was the sig?nl that she was asleep, arid sliding down, he quickly slipped a piece of jaggery into one cheek poach, puffed out the other with a gen? erous bite of cake, emptied the dish of ghee upon the smouldering coals, tucked a plantain under one arm, and started back up the wall. All might have gone well but for bis lame leg, which caused him to fall. The old woman, awakened by the- sputtering of the ghee on the coals, seized a long, sharp knife and threw it with all her might at Gooboo. Her aim was a sure one, and the pointed blade made a fatal wound. In a few minutes, Gooboo breathed his last. III. A gentleman while walking in the fields one day, heard the cries of a bird in distress. Looking up, he saw a hawk trying to catch a poor little lark. The lark darted this way and that, and man? aged to keep oat of the reach of his en? emy, but it was plain that be wa* becom? ing tired cut. The man felt very sorry for the lark, and was wishing that he could save it from the cruel hawk, when suddenly it darted down towards him and flew straight into his hand, where it remained panting and trembling. The hawk, when he saw what had happened, flew off* as if in disgust. IV. The lion, it is said, likes the flesh of the Hottentot better than anything else he can get for his dinner. Once a Hot? tentot, while driving his master's cattle to a pool of water, aaw a lion crouching in the pool and looking straight at him. Quickly he thought that if he ran back throngh the herd of cattle the lion would lose sight of him, and make a meal off of one of the beasts. But he was mis? taken. Looking back, he saw the lion making his way through the herd direct? ly toward him. Half dead with fear, he scrambled up an aloe tree by the aid of steps which had been cut in the trunk by searchers for bird's nests. The lion made a spring at him, but, missing his aim, fell to the ground. The Hottentot screened himself from sight behind, the branches, and thought the lion would give np and go away. After a long time he peeped out, and there sat the lion, with his terrible eyes glaring at him. After a while, the lion lay down, and for twenty-four hours he did not move from his place. Which would have held out the longest, it is hard to say, had not the lion become bo thirsty that he was obliged to go to a spriDg at some distance for a drink. As soon as he was far enough away, the Hottentot scrambled down, and was soon beyond the lion's reach. Beady for Action. It is not, perhaps, generally known that the Captain of a man-of-war is or? dered to keep bis ship properly prepared for battle as well in time of peace as of war. Every evening before dark the quarters are cleared and every arrange? ment made for night battle, to prevent surprise by a better prepared enemy. When at anchor in a harbor, especially at night, the ship is always prepared to repel any attempts of an enemy to board or attack with torpedoes or fireships. In addition to the daily and weekly drills and exercises, once every three months the crew are exercised at night quarters, the time, of course, being kept secret by the Captain, bo that no preparations can be made beforehand, the exercises being intended to represent a surprise. In the dead of night, when only the officers of the watch and the sentries posted in the various parts of the ship are awake, the notes of a bugle vibrate between the decks. Immediately, as if by magic, everything becomes alive; men are seen scrambling out of tbeir hammocks and lights flash iu all directions; the huge ahells are lifted by hydraulic power from the magazines, placed on trucks and wheels by means of railways to the tur? rets ; men run here and there with rifles, boarding pikes, axes, cases of powder and ammunition; others are engaged laying fire hose along the decks, others closing the watertight doors, while far down be? low the engineers, stokers and firemen are busy getting up steam for working the electric light engines, turrets, &c. At the torpedo ports the trained torpedo men are placing the Wbiteheads in their tubes, others are preparing cases of gun cotton for boom torpedoes. In ten min? utes, however, all i3 again silent and each man stands at his station ready for ac? tion. The Captain, followed by his prin? cipal officers, now walks round tho quar tars and inspects all the arrangements for battles, after which various exercises are gone through. A bugle sounds, and numbers of men rush away to certain E'arts of the ship to repel imaginary oarders; another bugle, and a large party immediately commence to work the pumps { another low, long blast is a warning that the ship is about to ram an enemy, and every man on board stretches himself fiat on the decks until the shock of the (supposed) collision takes place. After a number of exercises have been gone through, the guns are secured, arms and stores returned to their places, the men tumble iuto their hammocks again, and are soon fast asleep.?

The Coffin Explosion. A Charlotte drummer, who has just returned from a trip through South Carolina, yesterday gave us some addi? tional particulars of the explosion of a coffin at Bethel, York County, noted in Tuesday's Observer. Mr. Watson, who was injured by the flying glass, has been suffering from a well defined case of blood poisoning, caused by the glass from the coffin. At the time the glass panel blew out he was leaning with his face directly over it looking at the fea? tures of his child within the coffin aud his face was painfully cut by the glass. A few days afterward blood poisoning set in and Mr. Watson has since been in a serious condition. Fears are entertain? ed that he may not recover.?Charlotte Observer. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

MY WIFE I My wife has been a great sufferer from Catarrh. Several physicians and various patent medicines wero resorted to, yet the disease continued unabated, nothing ap? pearing to make any impression upon it. Her constitution finally became implicated, the poison being in her blood. I secured a bottle of Bi B. B. and placed her upon its use, and to our surprise the improvement began at once, and her recov? ery wao rapid and complete. No other preparation ever produced such a wonder? ful change, and for all forms of Blood Dis? ease I cheerfully recommend B. B. B. as a superior Blood Purifier. R. P. DODGE, Yardmaster Georgia Railroad, Atlanta, On. GREAT GRIEF. From the Athens (Go.) Banner- Watchman. Uncle Dick Saulter says : Fifty years ago I had a running ulcer on my leg which re? fused to heal under any treatment. In 1853. I went to California and remained eighteen months, and in 1873 I visited Hot Springs, Ark., remaining three months, but was not cured. Amputation was discussed, but I concluded to make one more effort. I commenced taking the B. B. B; about six weeks ago. The fifty-year-old sore on my leg is healing rapidly, and yesterday I walked about fifteen miles fishing and hunting without any pain, and before using the B. B. B. 1 could not walk ex? ceeding half a mile. I sleep soundly at night for the first time in many years. To think that six bottles have done me more good than Hot Springs, eighteen months in California, besides an immense amount of medicines and eight or ten first-class phy? sicians, will convince any man on earth that it is a wonderful blood medicine. It has also cured me of catarrh. MOUTH I There is a lady living here, Mrs; -, who has had catarrh for many, many years. I have known she had it for fifteen or twenty years, and my father once doc? tored her, as she was then a tenant on our place. For the last two and a half years she has been bedridden, the catarrh or can? cer (the numerous physicians have never decided which), during her two and a half years in the bed, had eaten all the roof of her mouth out. She was so offensive no one could stay in the room ; she could not eat auything, but could swallow soup if it was strained. She gave up to die, and came so near perishing all thought she would die. Her son bought the B. B. B., and she used several bottles, which effected an entire cure. She is now well and hearty. I have not exaggerated one parti? cle. Lucy Strono.
