Ascertain how much children have retained of the previous year'3 work. See that children can conectly write date and name, for orderly arrangerosui of written work. Have these repeated daily at head of slate or paper. Accept only good work. Have oral exercises in forming singu? lar and plural of common words. A.ik for one and more than one. Arrange in columns. Children copy. Erase. Children reproduce. Example?boy, boys; boot, boots. box, boxes; baby, babies; foot, feet ,* tooth, teeth. Take one way at a lesson, and see how large the list can be made. Summarize, finally, and note that some words add a or es, others change the final letter, and still others have different words. Children will give readily all the com ?moD words, both singular and plutal. Soud class to board, calling on them to make as long a list as time allows. Assign different; subjects to each one, bo as to teach self-reliance and prevent copying Use black-board an much as you can to vary the practice of always having a pencil in hand, and writing at desk. Teach proper use of eraser arid there will be'no exlra noise or confusion. 3. Occasion from observation or mem? ory of previous observations the need of words which express actions, as: The hoy plays. The boy? play. < The fish swims. Fishes swim. Note regular, singular aud plural lorrn of verb. Gain from the children all the state* meats and write on black-board, or ask them to write on paper. Hnve elliptical sentences, both declarative and interrog? ative filled out with is or are, as: . The horse Dogs Can the dog-??-<r 4. : Show need of is and arc, and their use. Teach that is is used when one thing or peraon iB spoken of at present time of action or speaking, and are of more than one. Ask questions of the children which will bring out these points. Give a great deal of practice, to this, with elliptical sentences and 'otherwise. Then take was, were, has and have in the same manner. 5. Proper names. First names of children. Allow child to go to the board and write first name. Get as many as time allows. Make lists I and write on board first. Children copy. Afterward children reproduce from mem? ory. Draw attention to nued of more than firet name. Have full names written, of children, of teachers, relatives, etc. For variety let them make out a roll call of the school, finding out by inquiry out of school, how names not familiar are spelled. Let them cut paper into visit? ing card shape and write their own or friends' name on them. Teach proper names of town or city, County, State and country, also, how to write their own address and that of others. Teach name and location of school, of their home, etc. In this connection, they may be given paper to construct envelopes and allowed to pines any address they please upon it, and place in a box prepared and called "The Postoffice," in the school-room. I Auother device, which is enjoyed very I much, is to supply them with- pieces of I common ribbou paper, about three inches in width, which may be obtained for ask inf.; at auy ribbou store, aud allow them to either cut apart, or to fold as coupon lickus. Ou these may be written rail? road tickets, as, Boston to New York? New York to Albany, etc. If scholais aro not familiar with geography, let them take their own town to those other places in the State with which they aro well acquainted. In cities where freight cars are seen, let children draw them ou board, putting on the labels as seen by them. G. Teach use and ueed of personal pro nouns, /, thou, he, she, it, etc. Occasion need byjjenteuce3 with proper names re? peated. Substitute pronoun. 7. Lessons on words answering which, this, that, these, those, either, neither, any, all, both, first, second, etc. 8. Teach contraction's and use of apos? trophe : I'm, I've, they'll, etc. Also pos? sessive case. Ex.: John's Idle, Mary's book. 9. Compound words and use of hyphen. Undivided quotations. Common abbreviations: Mr., Mrs , St., Hon., Jan., Feb , etc. 10. Irregular verb.-* The constant misuse of the principal parts of the irregular vprbs demands the attention of the teacher. There are about forty which give trouble. The teacher is advised to make out a list of theie which she finds need aueutiou. I think the list would uot vary to any great extent if compared with others. This list, I think, contaioB enough for Bpecial work of the year : Began, blow, break, catch, choose, do, drive, draw, eat, fly, freeze, get, give, lay, lie (to recline), ride, ring, rise, see, set, sit, steal, wear, write. Plan for teaching: Take the verb break. Take a piece of crayon, candy stick, or anything you choose. Obtain from illustrating and questioning that you broke it, that it is broken, that you were breaking it, etc. Let two boys nlay ball. Obtain catch, catching, caught. Ask children to Ihink of a pond in cold weather. Obtain freest, froze, freezing, froren. Pay particular attention to see. "I seen him," if too common. Too much care onnot be spent on cor rertly iisinjr tIie^e irreg'tUr verb*, Develop the others in a similar man? ner, Elliptical exercises on verb see: I-him do it. He-me before I-him. The verb draw: I-the line. Have you-the line ? Sit. Set : Will you-? The hen-etc. Verbs. Note correct use of think, guess; come, I go; shall, will / etc. 11. Combined use of several preposi? tions occasioned by action. Ex: John went to the table, took a book j'rom it, went out of the room, came in and put the book on the desk, and re? turned to his seat. 12. Lessons on the Senses, Quite detailed and logically arranged descriptions should be had for this yean In color, ideas of tints, shades and hues. Size, weight, etc. Be ready to make comparisons, and illustrate by action. Ideas of length, breadth, surface, etc., will be included in form study and draw? ing. The uses of the different organs wilt come under the animal and human body lessons. In written work, insist on quality rather than quantity. 13. Lesson illustrating how, when and where. * 14. Geographical Language. a. Teach direction and distance, as 7icar, far, right and left, cardinal and semi-cardinal points. Construct weather vane, and have the points indicated in the school-room. Weather observations and the signal flags may be drawn on board, according to the weather. I). Season teaching. Make a plan of the principal things to notice in each month, and work in the plan. September, vacation experiences, and first signs of fall. October, in north? ern latitudes shortening of days, flights of birds, etc. This will vary according to location. Other months as teacher plans. c. Drawing plans of school-room, of school grounds, of streets adjacent, may be commenced in this year. Draw to scale. d. People and their occupants may be made the subject of language lessons. Familiar occupations at first, then more difficult The industries or occupations of the place. Short journeys around town or imagi? nary ones may be outlined by the chil? dren 16. Story telling. Teacher should read or tell suitable stories. Have these of value. Bead a whole page, and ask children to repro? duce it orally. Object: to see bow much their minds can grasp, and to induce habits of attention. Bead but once. Written reproduction of this, ot writ? ten description of picture may follow. Draw attention to the central idea or object and ask questions which will arouse thought. 16. Letter Writing. Teach formal heading and correct end? ing, till it is weli executed. Then sug? gest or draw out some ideas to develop into the body of the letter. Have chil? dren write lettlerB to you, to the other teachers in building, to the folks at home. At Christmas they enjoy sending greet? ings through the mail. 17. Lessons on Morals and Manners. , Have these daily and while some topics need only to be mentioned, emphasize and repeat those that treat of respect and courtesy to the aged, cruelty and proper treatment and care of animals, temper? ance in all things, love of country, hy? giene of human body, and all those topics which aid iu character building. In this connection, let me recommend Stories for Home and School, Educational Publishing Co., Boston; and Our Dvnib Animals, Boston, Mass., as valuable helps. _ Wade Hampton. In their inordinate and insane desire to court popular favor, some of the sub treasury papers have so far forgotten ev? ery seutiratnt of gratitude as to speak in disparaging terms of South Carolina's most distinguished son, Wade Hampton. We very much mistake the temper of the people if any number of them en? dorse the sentiments of these ofiice seek? ing editors, or who would not repudiate with indignation any words, Bave those of respect and effection, used in connection with his mime. The very men who are speaking in this way of him would, a few years ago, have considered it a distinguished honor to have shaken his hand, and simply be? cause in the exercise of his judgment he differed from them on some public ques? tion, must, needs speak of him in the same terms they might use in speaking of a professional politician. They should never have aught else than the scorn and contempt of every true son of South Carolina, and this alone nhould forever debar them from securing any office-of honor or profit in the State. Have they forgot tea the dark days of '76, when Wade Hampton held the destinies of the whole State in his hands, and when it was only by his courage and unselfish? ness and h)3 great influence that we were saved from the political robbers who had brought us to the verge of ruin ? Great as he was in war, he was greater still in peace, and his proudest record is that of the political savior of his people. The knightly soul of Wade Hampton soars far above the foul and murky atmos? phere in w.iich his detractors grovel, and when the present generation shall have paBaed away, and the record of Caroli? na's illustrious dead is written up, the name of Wade Hampton, the knightliest of a knightly race, and the peer of Syd boy or Bayard, will emblazon one of the brightest pages of her history, while the names of his defamers will sink into well-merited oblivion.?Darlington Her? ald. _ Itaolrten's Arnica Salve The best salve in the world for Cuts, BruiHes, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Bheum, Fe? ver Bores, Tetter, Chapped Hands, Chil? blains, Corns, and all Skin Eruptions, and positively cures Files, or no pay required.

I diner', with some Englishmen the other day. English gentlemen who are perusing this country and have got a barrel or two of pounds, Shillings and pences at home. They are not lords, but they are gentlemen, That is a very sig? nificant and comprehensive word. The king can be a gentleman, but Hot every gentleman can be a king. Some say that the Prince of Wales is a gentleman, and some say not. One of these Englishmen was telling me what sport was bad in London over the exposure of the prince's gaming propensities, and his fondness for the game of baccarat. A leading tobac? conist advertised his goods by sending a fancy wagon around with an illuminated sign which read as follows: Where do you get your "baccar" at, Why at Thompson's, of course. But the Prince is to be pitied, they say. He is now fifty years old and all these years haa had nothing to do?noth? ing but to wait and wait for his mother to die and then he would be somebody. He dosent want her to die, for he is very fond of her and fsally very smart, and would make a good king, but as it is he is not mnch account. Our General Dick Taylor had a splendid time frolicking and sporting with him and says he is the soul of honor and a punctilious gentleman. And so it seems settled that a man can gamble at cards and bet on horse races and be a gentleman. Andrew Jackson did both, and so did Henry Clay. Away back in the centuries gentlemen were the land holders and ranked the yeomenfy. They were the aristocracy. They lived well and kept open houses, and gave roy? al welcomo to other gentlemen. It was a great compliment to say i "He is a fine old English gentleman." But, over here, in this land of liberty, a poor man can be a gentleman. If he has a good education, good manners, and is kind, truthful and sincere, he is a gen? tleman, according to our dictionary, though they come nearer the mark than most of the rich men who claim to be. Some of the old English poets made great sport of their gentry. One says: When Adam digged and Eve span, Where was then the gentleman ? Another saysi A Christian is God Almighty's gentle? man, And Thomas Decker wrote of the Sa? viour in 1620: A soft, meek, patient, tranquil Spirit, The first true gentleman that ever breathed. This reminds me in passing of a con? versation I overheard between two little girls who were playing with their dolls. One said i "If my dolly dies, she will go to heav? en, she is bo good and sweet," said one. "God is mighty good to good children, isent he ?" said the other. "Yes," she replied; "I epek ne is a gentleman, and I know he is a Chris? tian." These English gentlemen were very mnch interested in our elections that have just passed, and they said it seemed so strange that we could turn men ont of office and put others in every two or three years and change our government policy, and still get along without any serious friction. "Why," oaid one, "it takes a man ten years to become a statesman and be of real service in any great emergen? cy, and yet you people get tired of him in two or three years, and send another raw recruit to take his place. And he :*3 afraid to do anything except to ask for an appropriation and he will log-roll with a hundred others whether they have merit or not and they will all vote to? gether so as to be re elected, and so the money goes." And they said that it took only $90, 000,000 to run the Eng'.ish government last year, notwithstanding they have next to the largest standing f.rmy, and the largest navy in the world to keep .op and maintain. "Your government," said he, "now spends a third more money in a year than ours, and you have no army to speak of, and a navy that your own press makes sport of. Your extravagance is amazing, and if your people hud to pay it in a direct tax there certainly would be revolution. But they pay it, never? theless, and make no fuss about it. Your people seem to be prospering in spite of themselves, and but for your protective tariff you would soon be the richest na? tion upon the earth, for you h?.ve every? thing here to make you rich. Instead of borrowing English money, as you are do? ing every day, you would be lending 'money to the world." Well, this is not new talk. It is old, and it comes from the other side, but it comes from men who are investing their money here in iron and coal and rail? roads, and of course they are honest in expressing their opinions. They have some politics over there, too, a;ad raise a rumpus, hut their members of parlia? ment get jij pay, and they work for the honor of the high position. They are n?ver accused or suspected of j obbery or log-rolling or plundering?they are "fine old English gentlemen." I asked these visitors what wan their politics, and one said of the other, "My friend, Mr. H., is a vile tory," and Mr. H. replied, "My friend, Mr. B., is a nawsty liberal." The ladies of the party kept us continually amused with their surprises. The ne? groes were a source of wonder and per? plexity. "It oust be the African climate that has made them black," said one, "and they will surely turn white in course of time. I notice some that ar? turning now. My wife called in our cook "Aunt Ann," as we call her, and introduced her all 'round. Aunt Ann made a courtesy, The dames made a bow. Aunt Aon was very much amused at them and said afterwards, "Dem ;o!k.s 'cum 'croBH de big water. I see somi i f dem folks once before and dey mighty hard to phase. How dey like my cook? ing?" "Splendid," said my wife. "They said they never found such nicely cooked chickens ia England." Aunt Anu gave a grunt of satisfaction and went on with her work. There was a dish of potatoes on the table sliced and sugared ever so nice, but they 4had never seen any before, and declined to try them. They discussed the potato, however, and said they would like to uee one. A good, large yam was brought in, and one of the gentleman cautiously examined it and said: "Well, I suppcsr ''^at the potato is inside of this, and you > 2 to break it it open, do you not.'' ... dime was handed one of the ladies in change, and as she inspected it Bhf < '.id, "You call this 'one dimmy,' do you ? How many pennies is it worth?" She spelled the word dime with two syllables and a French accent on the last. Tbey were nice ladies?smr.rl ladies? and discoursed beautifully on '.'ngland, and government and politic- and reli? gion, but they found many Dings and many customs over here thr t ?_? ; hadn't read about in their books. The gentle? men cut enough walking sti .. ? in .heir travels to fill a buggy. One of then had himself measured for a saddle in Eng? land, and had it made to fit, and brought it across the water in a box that was made for it. It cost him ?20, and keeps on coating, for he has to pay freight on it everywhere it goes. He has never used it bat once and soon got tired and ex? changed it for a seat in a surrey. He is an old foxhunter and knows how to ride ?>in England. And now I would like to pay them back. I would like to visit their country and see bow they live. Of course I wouldeht kno? exactly how to conform to their ways and customs, how I would enjoy my own mistakes and surprises. England is a century ahead of nsin many things. Her people are more solid?solid in thoughts and opinions, and especially in religion and government; why, one of these gentlemen Who Visited us lives in a house that was built before Columbus discovered America. The very antiquity of everything gives the people confi? dence. They love their government and their Church. Our newspapers write gushingly about "crumbling thrones and tottering dynasties," but it only makes an Englishman smile. They still wonder that our government has lasted so long and stood the shock of a great civil war. A government will last as the people love it. The people will love it as long as it is fairly and humanely administered. A monarchy is just as secure as a republic if the monarch is kind and loving to bis subjects. "When the wicked rule the people shall mourn;" but they won't mourn long nowadays?they will fight. Bill Abp. Mormon Converts. A never failing source of income to the Western railroads are the Mormon immigrants.* I estimated that two roads have earned $250,000 :? this class of traffic alone within the oaul 'ear. These roads are the Union Pacific and the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis. The Memphis route brin ;j the foreigners from the southeastern Atlantic seaports and the Union Pacific takes them from Kansas City to the Mormon settlements in the great West. Enough probelyte8 pass through Kan? sas City in a year to keep the Mormon colonies in the West ever thriving. A party of 150 of them reached u-nre Mon? day night on the Memphis road. Tbey occupied three special car?, ".-gu.arly every two weeks the converts iron, foreign lands pass through this city in banas of from 75 to 100.

The; .vere under the spiritual and mate? rial guidance of Elder Ole Oleson. About once every, six months these proselyting elders return to the old coun? try after new flocks. They leave America in bands. About eight weeks ago one of these parties passed through Kansas City, going eastward. It was composed of about seventy five old men and women. The members were a crafty-looking lot. They studiously shunned all Gentile contact and permit? ted the railroad passenger agents to attend to all their traffic business. As fruit of the labor on the other side, over 5,000 converts have reached Kansas City in about fifteen months. A large number of them have women. A long steerage and a railroad ride half across a big continent are not beautifiers; but, taking the unfavorable circumstances into consideration, tbe women who have reached Kansas City have, technically speaking, been homely enough to throw a switch. They come mostly from the European peasant classes. The men look lazy, and the women are almost beasts of burden. The elders in charge of the flocks will not permit Gentiles to talk to their charges more than is absolutely necessary. Last fall an entire train load of converts arrived here from New York city. There were English, Irish, Scotch, French and Germans in the party.? Kansas City Times. Catarrh Can't Be Cured. with LOCAL APPLICATIONS as they cannot reach the scat of tho disease.

Mr. Editor : It is true, as you say in your brief editorial of October 22nd, that when I suggested the invention of an apparatus that might produce rain when? ever needed, I wrote jocularly. Never? theless, I have frequently, and for a long time, thought that it might indeed be possible to so completely master the operations of nature in producing rain as to be able to follow her processes and prouuee it ourselves?without the use of explosives. All great inventions and discoveries in science are simply the application of the principles eternally existing in na? ture to the practical purposes of life. Man makes nothing; he only learns to use that which already is. The expan? sive power of steam is inherent in it, and was there when the process of evapora? tion first began. And, so far as we know, it has been only a little while since that expansive power was put to uso. The light of the sun to-day is pre? cisely the same that it was a thousand years ago. How long has it been since it was used to paint pictures ? How long has it been since electricity was first used for sending messages ? And so on through all applied sciences to practical I affairs. We make nothing, we only learn to use. Now, what is rain? And how does nature pr?dee it ? Once the process by which nature causes it to rain is thor? oughly understood, can any one presume to say that nature's operations cannot be followed in this matter, as they have been in others ? Heretofore we have only understood in a general way?not thoroughly and particularly?how ' rain is produced. We know what rain is ; that it is the condensation of watery vs, por in the air into drops too heavy to be borne up by the atmosphere. Sometimes these drops are very minute, so minute as to fall very slowly; but when the con* densatlon is very rapid the drops are large and descend almost like a shower of rifle balls?and when frozen it is sometimes quite dangerous to be exposed to their descent. Bain, then, is the result of condensa? tion ; but what causes or forces are in op? eration to produce rapid condensation and some times congelation of the vapor of the clouds? I think it is quite clear that there is some other force at work i besides the mere abscence of heat or ca? loric. Though the absence of caloric does produce condensation, as we frequent? ly see on a glass vessel filled with cold water?great drops gathering on the out? side as though the vessel was sweating or perspiring and the water was soaking through. But there are other rain-prodncing forces than mere cold. It is not unusual to have a long continued bpe 11 of clear cold weather, when the whole surface of the earth becomes dry and dusty, and the dew itself is unknown. And yet the air is full of vapor. Evaporation is al? ways going on; and I think it safe to to say that there is as much water in the air at one time as at another. It seldom rains in Egypt; not because there is no water there ; not because the atmosphere cverhaDging Egypt is not charged with moisture; but because the conflagration of the earth's surface that produces con? densation is wanting. Wat .a closely a great hail-producing thunder cloud in the spring and sum? mer, and I think you will have a clew to tLu mystery of rain and hail. I think you will find that in the centre of every such cloud a storm is raging as terrible as those tornadoes that swept over the country a few years ago. I think you will find, also, that that principle or power known as electricity is playing there a distinguished part, as it does in every operation of nature throughout the uni? verse. Its powers, its uses, is jusi be? ginning to be discovered and applied. Everything in its time. God gives noth? ing to man before the time comes when he can rightly use it. A living authoi thus writes of the laws and processes of law and the powers of electricity : "There are laws and processes of law which if known would enable a combina? tion of scientific experts to divert the rains from any region of the globe for a period, and again to flood that region to the eutire destruction of animal and hu? man life. "The fluid known as electricity is a compound ether, itself the reservoir and medium of more subtle and potent agen? cies. These are capable of many com? binations in hands that- are educatecTfo the unbinding, recombinding and direct? ing of them ;?capable, in one quality and effect of force, by being discharged upon a land as a deadly pestilence suf? ficient to destroy life down at the very germs within the soil;?capable, in an? other form of force, of inducing another form of madness in the minds of a peo? ple;?capable of lighting up whole dis? tricts by night, without any visible ap? paratus;?capable of suspending the properties of sound, of inducing local earthquakes and of opening vast chasms in the soil." What amount of trulh there may be in what the writersays, I do not know, but I think it altogether probable that he is right. What the Australian professor's process of rain making is, I do not know, but I have no doubt that it is through the use of electricity mainly. It is (he life ot the world. It is well that it is not given to all men to be able to handle it at will. When man is worthy he will have al! power?uot before. Jons A. Chapman, Postscript.?The rain produced by ex? plosives is not the result of the mere mechanical shaking up or agitating of V8;x>r in the air, and so producing con? densation. It is produced by electricity, developed or released from a latent to an ac ive condition by the violent agitation of the air. All violent disturbances in nature, whether in the air or in the earth art accompanied by the active play of electric forces. Now if we follow nature closely in her operations, we can cause rain at will, copiously, gently or stormily, without the use of explosives. J. A. C. ?
