There was uogeuoral stampede jipj on either side at any point of the firstM. day's battle, but weight of lines and' weight of metal ami the momentum of blows vigorously delivered controlled -rp the result at every point. Late in the evening of Saturday, when the fighting on the Hanks hail /' well nigh ceased, came Steward's di- \l vision of Bate's and Clayton's and Brown's brigades, pounding its way past the Hank of a third, they pene? trated beyond the Lafayette road.

Acting on the advice of a well known contributor of Good Housekeeping, we opened the children's uuderwaists in front, and they soon learned to dress themselves with a very little help, and even to button their own shoes. But after the novelty wore off came the tug of war. It was often found easier to pick up a child and dress it entirely than coax persistently; and watch to see that it was done. Fortunately this course was not continued, anil, after firmly insisting for a few mornings that each should dress himself as far as he was able, it soon grew to be an easy duty which none thought of shirk? ing. A kiss.aud a hug from mamma proved a sufficient reward. It is won? derful the amount of help one child can be to a busy woman, if only he is properly taught. Little duties, early assumed, make greater ones to follow easier of accomplishment. But if you intend to teach your children to put away their clothing or toys, provide places and insist upon their being put there. And don't yield to them, as you will many times be tempted to do, when they complain that they "don't feel like it." If you keep a damp wash rag on a low nail in the bath-room, there will be no necessity for you to drop all your work to wipe George's fingers after he has finished his fruit. Most children will enjoy brushing their own teeth. Just here let us offer a word of advice. Begin when your baby is eighteen months old to clean his tiny teeth, and keep it up as regu? larly as you do your own. Dentists will tell you this is none too early that the second set will be all the sound? er, and besides the children will be spared much suffering from tooth? ache. Teach the children to be careful of \ their playthings. The time to have them put away is when they begin to kick them about. Don't have them all out at the same time. Hide a few for a week. "We confess we could not have held out as did a friend of ours in teaching her little girl care with her playthings. She took away a box of j dishes, just after Christmas, for one whole month, on account of the care? less breaking of three plates. This lit? tle Annie keeps her toys aud handsome picture books from one year's end to another, as a result of this lesson. And don't forget one thing more teach the baby to sing. There are so many merry jingles for children now? adays. They can often catch the tune of your lullaby, as they close their tired eyes in sleep. Some primary teacher will gladly give you her school songs, or you can get some kindergar? ten plays. The St. Nicholas cellectiou of songs contains bright, sparkling melodies, for children of all ages. Re? member, too, the Sunday-school songs. You will be rested some clay when the young foltfs place the chairs in a row, open books and sing in childish joy as they "play church" like grown people. Now, in fact of all the:<e hints for children's pleasure, one word of cau? tion must be added: don't do too much ! Don't get them into the habit of always depending upon you for entertainment, or of throwing themselves upon your hands as soon as one toy ceases to please. Teach them self-reliance. Let them alone when they arc good. Let them sit down in their little rockers, aud indulge in some original baby re? flection. Solitude is as good for them as for you.? Good Housekeeping. The Bloodhound. As a rule the -bloodhound is most docile and winniugly affectionate. He can be trusted with children ; so much so tbat a boy may safely do duty as "the hunted mar" when the hound is being trained in hill or forest. The anniinal is nevertheless suspicious of the motions of strangers; he therefore makes a most efficient guard either to person or property ; and his deep, ring? ing, bell-like voice, heard at night in his own grounds, would be sufficient to keep at bay the boldest burglar that ever went on prowl. But instances of blooilhouuds who if not actually sav? age, will, to use a trainer's words, "stand no nonsense," are by no means rare. I hail the pleasure of being hunted once by one of these. It was in a country where there were plenty of hills and rocks and running streams, but nothing worth the name of a tree. We were training a pup, and he was already well up in his work. I had got quite a long start, and had done my very best to puzzle him by wailing through water, &c. When I had reach? ed a cozy nook in a far-off glen, I sat down to rest on a stone; but a whole hour passed, and still no appearance of my friend anil his pupil was put in. I was thinking I had got well away for once, when I was startled by the baying of a bloodhound, anil next mo? ment found myself a prisoner?made so/uot by the puppy but by the puppy's father. The dog, I afterwards discov? ered hail escaped from the stable anil come to the hunt on his own account, anil here he was. I confess I was a little uneasy. I knew the dog well enough, but jusL at the present moment he did not consider it convenient to know me. I felt that I wished to covince him that it was all fun, that we had only been playing at a man hunting. Unfortu? nately for my peace of mind, the blood? hound would not take thnt-ricw of the matter. It was no good my holding out aji^nd Mn^'^tviin--: "Poor fellow, "T?^ ^?S> coinc along then.'' thfs puiy male him back astern and buY the nio>c. Worse than all, a movement on n)V part as if to get up result?" hi a<thrcatcning exposure of some t?eth. Draco evidently wished me to understand distinctly that I was the priso^c''.-.ml he the detective; I the eapii vt v the captor. That was the position iu till its simplicity; and as it was Jiioroover pretty certain the bloodhound meant to do his duty, I had to do mine and sit there till my friend arrived with the pup. But the time hail scitaicil very long.

Deny the Facts lYho Can. In Iiis Boston speech?which, by the j way, was luminous, aggressive and in parts exceedingly eloquent?Mr. Gra 1 3y gave some statistics which will in? terest the American people. Here are ! a few of them : "I bespeak your patience while with rigorous plainness of speech, seeking your judgment rather than your ap? plause, I proceed step by step. "I present the tax books of Geor? gia, which show that the negro, twen? ty-five years ago a slave, has in Geor? gia alone $10,000,000 of assescccl prop? erty, worth twice that amount. Dues not that record honor him and vindi? cate his neighbors? What people, penniless, illiterate, has clone so well ? "For every Afro-American agitator, stirring the strife in which alone he prospers, I can show you a thousand uegroes, happy in their cabin homes, tilling their own land by clay and at night taking from the lips of their children the helpful message their State sends them from the school house door. "And the school house itself bears testimony. In Georgia wc added last year.825,000 to theschool fund, making a total of more than 81,000,000?and this in the face of prejudice not yet conquered ; of the fact that the whites are assessed for 8368,000,000, the blacks for 810,000;000, and yet forty nine per cent, of the beneficiaries are black children. "Charleston, with her taxable values cut half in two since 1860, pays more in proportion for public schools than Bostou. Although it is easier to givi much out of much than little out of little, the South with one-seventh of the taxable property of the country, with relatively larger debt, having received only one-twelfth as much of public lauds and having back of its tax books none of the 8500,000,000 of bonds that enrich the North, and though it pays annually 826,000,000 to yoursec tion as pensions, yet gives nearly one sixth to the public school fund. "The South since 1865 has spent 8122,000,000 in education, and this year is pledged to 837,000,000 more for State and city schools, although the blacks paying one-thirtieth of the taxes get nearly one-half of the fund. "Go into our fields and see whites and blacks working side by side. On our buildings in the same squad. In our shops at the same forge. Ofteu the blacks crowd the whites from work or lower wages by their greater need or simpler habits, aud yet are permit? ted, because we want to bar them from no avenue in which their feet are fit? ted to tread." When wc get into a fretful mood aud feel inclined to fume against the South these figures may serve to allay our irritation-. If the question is ask? ed : Could the North haudle this grave problem with more skill and success? our common sense will answer in the negative. The truth can be packed in a nut? shell?for political purposes it pays better to keep up the old sectional feeling and to belabor and club the South at every opportunity, but in point of fact, and when we are ready to admit that on the whole the South has clone woudefully well and made marvelous progress.?N. Y. Herald. A Singular Bet. St. Paul, Minx., December 9,? William C. King is a farmer at New? port, Minn., and is about 30 years of age ami uumarrieil. Sidney C. King, who is three years older and carries on a teaming business at the same place, is his brother. A few days ago they were sitting at William's house read? ing the newspapers, when Sidney no? ticed a paragraph about a man in the East who was advertising for a wife. Sidney said he thought that was a fool? ish plan by which to secure a wife. William said he didn't think it was, and the brothers got into a heated ar? gument over the question. "I will tell you what I will do," fi? nally declared Sidney, "I will bet you 8500 even that you dare not select a wife by lottery in a way that I will indicate." "I have no money," replied William, "but I have a farm worth that at least, and I will take that bet if you will put up your money against my farm at Corkiugton." "All right; it's a go," said Sidney, and they set to work to prepare the terms of the bet. A contract -was drawn up iu legal form ami each signed it. It provides that William shall go not more than 500 miles nor less than three miles from his home and select a wife by lottery. He is to make 100 tickets, numbered from 1 to 100, which arc to be put in envelopes and one giv? en to every lady wishing a husband, regardless of her age or nationality. A certain clay is to be announced for the drawing and a public notice is to be given of the place where it is to take place. On the day of the draw? ing some person is to be selected by the audience and blindfolded. The tickets are to be placed in a hat and well shak? en up. The man, bliudlbklecl, will then be brought ou the stage and re? quested to draw one ticket from the hat. By the number which it bears the future wife of William King is to be determined, as he must marry the lady holding the corresponding num? ber or forfeit his farm. If he carries nut this agreement he will receive the -r.iu of 8500 bet by his brother. How's This?

If a child does tease, the blame of his teasing prop? erly rests on his parent?, rather than on himself. The pareDt who realizes this fact will have an added stimulus to the work of tiaining his child not to tease; and no phase of the work of child training is simpler, or surer of its result, than this one. "To lease," is "to pull," "to tug," "to drag," "to vex (or carry) with importu? nity." A child teases when he wants something from his parents, and fails to get it at the first asking. He pulls and tugs at his parents, in the hope of drag? ging them to his way of thinkicg, or to a consent to his having what he wants in spite of their different thinking. He hopes to vex or carry them into the line of his desires by means of his importuni? ties, whatever their view of the case may have been, to begin with. If a child could have what he wanted at his first askiDg, he would not tease; for there would be no room for his teasing. If a child never secured anything through teasiDg, he would Dot come into the habit of teasing; for there would be no induce? ment to him to tease. When, therefore a child is accustomed to tease, it is evi? dent that he has been trained by his parents to tease, instead of being trained by them not to tease; and they are to ' ^ar the responsibility aud blame of his casing. Many a child does not expect to get what ho wants, if it i3 ouf of the ordinary line of his daily needs, unless he teases for it; therefore, he counts teasing a part of his regular duty in life, as truly as "beating dowu" the city shop-keeper on his prices is supposed to be the duty of a shopper from the country. If a child asks for a slice of bread and butter, or a bit of meat, at the family table, or for a glass of water between meals, he expects to get it at the first asking. Teasing for that is not in his iniud as a necessity. But if he wants to stay at home from school without any reason for it, or to start off with some of bis schoolmates on a long and hazardous tramp on a Satur? day, or to sit up an hour later than usual at night, or to have a new sled or veloci? pede or bicycle, or to go to the circus or to hear the minstrels, "like all the other fellows"?he is Dot so sure of gaining his request at the first asking. So,' when the answer, "No," comes back to him, in such a case, he meets it with the appeal, "Do let me. Oh, do!" and then bei enters upon a nerve struggle for the I mastery over his parents at this poiot, with the idea jn his mind that it is a sin? gle question of who shall be most per? sistent in adhering to his side of tbe conflict. There are few children who always succeed in carrying their point by teas? ing ; but there are fewer who never suc? ceed by this means. Most parents give way, soooer or later, in some of these confliats with their children. It may be that they are less determined than their children, and that they are eimply tired out by the teasing. It may be that they are moved by their children's earnest? ness in tbe matter, and that they yield because of their tenderness toward the little pleaders. It may be that their first answer to the appeal is a thoughless one, and that their fuller consideriug of the matter leads them to see it to be right to reverse their impulsive decision. What? ever be the parents' reason for their course in such a case, if they give a neg? ative answer to their children's first request, and an affirmative one in re? sponse to more or less teasing on the children's part, they train their children so far to believe that teasing is an im? portant facto in a child's progress in life; and, of course, they are responsible for their children's continuance in the habit of teasing. It is a misfortune to a child to suppose that teasing is essential to his gaining a point that he ought to gain. A result of such a view in his mind, is that he looks not to his parents' wisdom and judgment, but to his.own positiveness and persist? ency, as the guide of his action in any mooted case of personal conduct; not to principles which are disclosed to him by one who is in authority, but to impulses which are wholly in his own bosom. Such a view is inimical lo ail wise methods of thinking and doing on a child's part. Aud it is even more of a misfortune to the parent than to the child to have the idea that the parent's decision is a result of the child's teasing, rather thau of the parent's understanding of what is right and best in a given case. No parent can have the truest respect of a child, while the child knows that be can lease that parent into compliance with the child's request, contrary to the parent's real or supposed conviction. For the child's sake, therefore, and also for the parent's, every child ought to be trained not to tea^e, and not to expect any possible advantage from teasing. Susannah Wesleyj the mother of John and Charles Wesley, was accustomed to say, of her children, that they all learned 1 very early that they were not to have anything they cried for, and that so they soon learned not to cry for a thing they wanted. Who will doubt that John and Charles Wesley were stronger men, for this training, than they could have been if they were trained to look upon crying as a means of securing what was best for them? Who will doubt that Susannah Wesley \va? more of a woman, and more respected by her sons, because of her unvarying firmness at this point, than wouid have been possible if she had frequently yielded to the pressure of thfMr piteous crying for that which it was against her judgment to give to them? Any parent who would apply this rule of Susanufh Wesley to the matter of teas? ing, might be sure of a corresponding result in the children's estimate of Ihc practical value of teasing. Any child who finds that he is never to have any? thing for which he teases, will quickly quit teasiDg. How simple this rule, for this department of child training! Simnlij.aa it seems^ Irbwever, to be ' "-. _ fP^'.' in refusing to give to . . MRing for which he teases, it w 1 ' Hnsy thiDg to adhere to this rule] ;;Hgly, and to do it wisely. And Ale iu the case is not with the I -Bt with tho" parent. In ordot tc voltjm: give promptly, to a child's request, an answer that can rightly be insisted upon against all entreaties, a parent must do his thinking before he gives that answer, rattier than afterwards. Too often a parerrt denies a child's request at the start without considering the case in all its bearfrTg^ and then, when the child presses his suit, the parent sees reasons for granting it which had not been in his mind before. The child perceives this state of things, and realizes that the question is to be settled by his teasing, rather than by his parent's independent judgment; and that, therefore, teasing is the only means of securing a correct decision in the premises. Training a child not to tease, is a duty incumbent upon every parent; but, as a pre requisite to this training of the child, the parent must himself be traiued. When a child asks a favor of a parent, the parent must not ra,ply hastily, or thoughtlessly, or without a full under? standing of the case in all its involvings. If necessary, he may question the child, in order to a better understanding of the case, or he may postpone h? answer until he can learn more about it; but he must not be over quick to reply merely as a means of pushing away the request for the time being. He must consider care fully what his final answer ought to be, before he gives an answer that the child is to accept as final; and when the parent gives that answer, it ought to be with such kindly firmness that the child will not think of pressing his suit by teasing And thus it is that any well-trained i parent can train his child well in this sphere.?/?. S. Times. A 1'oor Time To Squeal, Representative William Engle, of Bau gor. is what is known as a self-made man ; he has demonstrated that a foreignor can, in this land, rise to positions of honor in business and politics, by the pursuing of an honest and upright course as be tween man and man ; and Bangor fathers, when instructing their sous who are just branching out for themselves on the prop? er course in life, have often taken the re cord of Mr. Engle as one worthy of imi tation. Mr. Engle is an extensive lumber oper? ator, and one fail when up in a clearing he ran across a man who had a barn full of hay to sell. It looked nice on the out side, and Engle struck a bargain where? by the man was to press it and Iben de liver to Engle's teamster fur seventeen dollars a ton. Later in the season he went into'his camp and there he found a lot ot pressed wire grass, which, he said, was not fit fcr a horse to sleep on. "What's this?" he asked of the fon mau. "Why, that's some hay you bought." "I bought?" "Well, said Engle, "I always thought I was a fool, but I never was fool enough to buy that stuff for hay." But he had bought it. The interior of that hay mow was a big fraud, and when the seller struck Eogel for a settlement he was told he was a cheat, and he could't get a cent. But there came a time when some set tlemeut must be made, and after much discussion it was agreed the whole mat? ter should be left to one W. Q. Davis, an honest backwoodsman, who had toted the material in. Engle was delighted?for this man Da? vis had worked for him for years, and William was quite sure a good big slice would be knocked from the bill, which a mounted to several hundred dollars. They found Davis out in the hotel, and after opening to him the proposition, all took shingles and began to whittle, while En? gle told his story in the true legislative style. The seller couldn't say much; he thought the hay averaged well and would have opened the mow if he had been ask? ed to do so, and on the whole made bad work of a poor case. Then Davis, the juryman, whittled awhile; after which be cocked his eye to? ward the lumber king and asked: "Bill, you accepted the hay ?" "We-1-1, y-e s. my man did." "And you have fed it out?" "Yes, the man did. He did n't have any other feed." Davis whittled awhile and then said: "You bought the hay, Bill, accepted it, and all winter you have been feeding it out and betwixt you and me, William, I think it's darned poor time to squeal." Engel says he saw the point; says Pe? ters couldn't have beat the decision?aud be paid.?Lewis/own (Me.) Journal. The Pleasures of Editing.

If we give a man complimentary notices we are censured for being partial; if we do nnt, all. hands say we are a great boor. If we insert an article which pleases the ladies, men become jealous; if we do not cater to their wishes, the paper is not fit to be in their houses.

E XXIV.?NO. 26. The Fanners arc Organizing-. Mr. William A. Peffer,'; editor of the Kansas Farmer, has made a' study of the extent to which the farmers are organ? ized into Alliances, Wheels, Granges and other such bodies. Hot baa brought together the statistics of the,membership of each of these organizations, and has collected facts bearing on their methods and purposes, which show that the, agriculturists are in a much more pleto state of organization have ever been before, for tbj associations far out-numtcr the ship of the old Grange; and tl shows a greater spoutaneit purpose than wa3 shown Of the 4,500,000 farmers States, at least 1,000,000 ized ; and a moveme^ solidate all existi extend them, wljRoyTflB^oTganizations expect, in a brief pericd, to include in this consolidated association not less than 4,000,000 farmers. Some of these associations have origi? nated in the Southwest, some in other parts of the South, and some in the West. Their general purpose is so to express the importance of the agricultural inter? ests as to cause other interests to pay greater heed to the farmer. The com? plaint of all these organizations is, in substance, that the middle-men and money lenders have, in one way or ; another, great advantage has been used to his impoverishment. All these organ? izations arc secret, and although in a larger sense none of them is political, in\a larger sense they all have a political significance; inasmuch as they siWpok^ forwaVd to an opportunity for the farmers' vote to'-change legislation which they conceive to bo particularly adverse to the agricultural interests. One of the most significant facts which is shown indirectly by Mr. Peffer'a study ? is that there is a universal feeling among farmers that our "industrial organization somehow does them great injustice. For the publication of his full statement of these facts, Mr.Tefler selected the Forum, and his article appears in the December number. ? Kissed Her For the Cigars. "I'd give twenty-five cento for permis- j sion to kiss that girl," remarked an insipid looking youth on an Atlanta bound train, one night last week, indicating with a motion of his hand an unusually hand? some young woman asleep in a seat near by. The youDg man was one of a group standing in the rear of the crowded car. Another young man said : "You have my permission, sir, gratis." "'Fraid she wouldn't regard it as suffi? cient," laughed the first. "I don't know," replied the other; "I have a great influence with good looking girls?I'll tell you what I'll do: I'll bet you a good cigar I can kiss her without waking her." "Done!" cried the insipid youth. 'I'll _^ give you a cigar if you dare do it any way, and two more if she don't wake up." "It's a go." The daring young man stepped up to the seat where the pretty girl slept, lean? ed over softly and kissed her equarely and audibly upon her mouth. She stirred, smiled a lfttle, but did not wake. The group of men bad watched the proceed? ings in breathless suspense, and a long and simultaneous sigh broke from them as young Impudence straightened up af? ter the operation and rejoined the group, several passengers who had seen the au? dacious performance itaring at him in astonishment. "By Jove! that was ele? gant !" the fellow of insipid aspect ex? claimed as he handed the successful kiss? er his three cigars. But there was another reckoning. The conductor came hurrying down the aisle, and "weut for" the dariDg passen? ger metaphorically snesking, "hammer and toDgs," crying: "See here, young man, don 'c you ever try that again! Are you a gentleman, sir? Don't yon TrnWi-v; that I can arrest you for such a perform? ance as that?" The young man colored, but laughed nervously as he answered, "No, I don't much believe you can. I guesa there isn't an American law against a fellow's kiss? ing his own sister?is there ?" It has not appeared yet whether or net the youDg woman learned of her bret-aer^ astouiehing exhibition of disrespect, or whether, if she did, her displeasure les? sened the gratification derived from the cigars won in such a questionable man? ner. Eighty -Two Weds Twenty-Five, 1 Daxdury, Cox>t., December 9.? Allan McDonald, aged eighty-two years, a wealthy retired blacksmith, and Miss Addie D. Bowen, aged twenty-five, a New York book agent, were mrrried here last week by the Rev. Mr. Hobbard. The story of the marriage is a curious" one. McDonald is childless and his first wife died on November 7, 1SSS. Except a wealthy sister in Mississippi; ho has no one to inherit his property, which is estimated worth $2o0,0u0. year from the day bis wife died he an? nounced that be would give half his fortune to. any woman who would marry him. He i nsisted that the woman should be young, pretty and a spinster. A few days later Miss Bowen called at his house. to sell him a book. He refused to talk about the book, but asked her if she I would marry him. Miss Bowen thought he was crazy, but finding that he was in earnest, asked for time to consider. He obtained tho address of her parents in New York sad visited them. He explained that he was very wealthy and wanted some one to inherit bis property, adding that he ha^ only a few years more to live. Miss Bowen's parents thought the proposal a good one for their daughter, and gave their consent. The couple are now living iu Mr. McDonald's fine house on West street.
