Second Step--Classificat ion. Class. ifv the children's knowledge of cir cular objects, as : buttons aire round; there are two rou(i holes at the scissors; there are round sides at tle spool of cotton; some flowers and leaves are round. Children may suggest angular formis conmon to other objects lthey have drawn. Admit these suggestions, hut con. -tinue the attention to circular forns .ror tihe present. Third Step---Creation. Lead the childron to create f'ron the circle. Let each child trace a1 Circle. using a disk of wood, I spool, or large but ton-Imould (large 1ormns are p)referable, nothing snmiler tihan two inches in diameter should he used). Ask what could be made ofL the circle. A few smaller circles drawn within the larger one will change it to a tarnct. A loop) maikes it aI watch. Two handles transform it to a uii ar-ho wl. A beak and eye ciange it to a bird's head. Flowers anl leaves c:i he drawn from the circle.

From speci mens of embroidery, the carpet on the floor, or pieces of' wall-paper, suggestions for designing with the circle can be obtained. Elements for designing maty be cut of card. board, and the children be shown how to arrange them so as to forl quite elaborate designs. Sixth Step-Analysis. Children often desire to draw a picture or an object, hut (o not. know how to be gin. l)raw the object on the black board, explaining difficult poimls a1s you go along.

C., Sept. 13.-Your .1 beville corrtespondent is mistaken in supposing that I[on. J. N. Lips comb expects to withdraw from the Congressional race. Far frnm hav ing any intention of doing this, he expects to be elected. The primary system of making nominations hav ing been decided on, Colonel Lips. comb will have an opportunity of meeting his constituents face to face, and the "old war horse" is a power in the land and a tower of strength be (ore the people. Ile is the only farmer in the race and this will give Iii in any voters among the agricul. turists. The man that beats this able and accomplished gentleman may well feel himself lionored, and those who are defeated, and that will be somie of them, need not be ashamed of having met defeat at the hands of so worthy an opponent. One thing may be stated as a certainty, Col. Lipscomb can't be beat by circulat. itg rumtlors that lhe expects to with. d raw from t,be racc.

I have not read his commlllulicationl, and, WILII matters of grave miomnent now pressing upon mile, it is not. like ly that I shall look it up ur find lime for any reply to it; but inasmnuch as - this is a subject, of party and public Y interest, the public has the right, to r know all t,hat t.hose who have been s charged with :a lublic duty have r done inl its behal.

A It. sceems to have tcen a'sulaed by s Captaiii Farley that. there was some -obligatiom upon the commnittee to " select him as the Candidate bccnuse he received the next hig,hest, vote in t the ('onventioi. Tlhis assutIlln]ytioil is . ill t'ouidel, and there is nto runle or usage to Sustain it. I * the action o' a said ('onvention was to he re.arded I, as having anyv conltrollin'. Iiree withl the comnuittee, th'. e1fect would have been just the (onverse )vsof auch pre tension, for it inlicate(l that ('aptain Farley was not, the el:o;ee of the party.

To the Deiocratic Voters of Neacher> County: Reports have beon circulated i this County to the eflect that I im weak in the other Counties of ti Congressional District, with a vie to drawing off votes front me. I mn credibly informed by trustworth parties in those Counties that I wi get a good vote in Abbeville, Ande] ion, Oconoo and Pickens. I hol therefore that my friends will not, 1, misled, and that they will rally Co im mipport at the polls on the 23 )f this month. There is method i this attack; it is made for it p)u')osi If I can be weakened here the lope to defeat me. I stood shoulk( o shoulder with you in .187(6. I wi uniong the first to speak out ft Eamptoni, home rule and white suprc nacy in this County. When othel tood aloof and said, let. Chanberlai .valk over the track, my voice wit raised against it, and I have the sat sfaction of knowing that the eflort )f myself and a few others in thi sounty had much to do in saving th state through the straightout novc nont; over since I have kept th vatchfires burning, and have left i tone unturned towards keeping th Democratic party together. I claim hat in doing this I did but in duty to my people and may StatE Phis country belongs of right to th ,vhite people, and to then it slt] )elong; no power can wrest it fror is. We have pledged ourselves b tll that is good, by all that is hols md by all that is right that it sha] -omain so. If you elect me I shali vork for the good of our p,eopl mnd of our common country, alwav ceeping in view the fact lhat to th leople belong the oflices and not t my man or set of men. In this canvass I have discusse neasures and not nuon. I have riecop tized the platform of principles c he Democratic party and its tencli ngs.
