PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT N1WBERRY, S. C. TEACHERS' DEPARTMENT. A. S. SCHEETZ, EDITOR. Amerlcan Brains in American Hands. This was the subject of a lecture de livered in the opera house on Monday evening by Dr. Mayo. This gentleman, as is well known by those teachers who read the current educational literature, is one of the foremost educators of our country, a man whose voice and pen have during the past 30 years been ac tively employed in creating a correct public sentiment on the subject of free schools. Monday night's lecture was full of profound thought expressed in plain, straight-forward language. While the entire lecture was replete with sugges tions, the closing remarks were espe cially valuable and practical. We will notice a few of these. The fact that the times demanded skilled and well quali fied teachers was strongly presented. Teachers, he declared, should use the best methods of instruction, should keep abreast of the times, and avail themselves of all the means of improve ment accessible. He also impressed upon all, and especially, teachers, the importa.uceof instilling into the minds of the young a proper respect for man ual labor so that the notion, too preva lent now, that education unfits one for such-labor, will be discarded. He also emphasized the statement made in this column last week, that the duty of the teacher is not to do the work of the pupil, but to encourage the student to help himself. Never do any thing for a child-which by proper en couragement it can be induced to do for itself. His peroration was a mag nificent plea for the education of all classes and conditions of our heteroge neous population. The Dr. promises after his return home to publish a pamphlet giving the results of his eight years' work in the south and south west. Hinta to Teachers. Because a child knows his counting ables thoroughly, and can repeat them as rapidly as he is able to talk, we must not think that he comprehends them. These tables have been learned by hun dreds of children who had no idea that three twos make six, or that two twos make four. Do not make tug-boats of yourselves, to pull your pupils through the waves. Rather take the place of the rudder, and guide them in the right direction to help themselves through. Every teacher who succeeds in awak ening a desire for better things, in the mind of a young seapegrace deserves more praise than a thousand teachers who have simply stuffed as many, pu pils with a combination of words taken from a dozen text-books. Fellow teachers, there are many streets that lead to all grand avenues, and patience, courage, love, faith, sym pathy,~ self-control, enthusiasm, and comrna sense are the streets that lead the suecesfu teacher to the avenues of the minds of his pupils, which, in their turn, lead to the soul. And those teachers who do not travel them all will be failures. Good teachers, i. e., hard-working, untiring, conscientious, progressive, en thusiastic teachers, never have received, and must never hope to receive their full reward in this world. Hundreds and hundreds of teachers (?) go to their class-rooms every day, who are no more fit. for the work in which they are engaged than a snail for rapid transit. Just as well1might a lawyer endeavor to practice law with no knowledge of the statute laws of his state, or a doctor to practice medicine with no knowledge of physiology, as a teacher to practice the profession of teaching with no knowledge of the mind he is trying to shape. Know as much of the home life of your pupils as possible. It will often be a help to you. We have known enildren to receive praise for their ef forts, when, without this knowledge by the teacher of their home life, they would have received nothing but cen sre. Many a child who is running over with animation, full of life, and fun, and happiness, is made to fairly hate his school and school books, becausehis teacher does not take the time or trouble to study his position, and thus learn how to govern him. Professional teaching can only be done by professional teachers. There is no reason why teachers should be subjected to little petty "quiz'" exai nations every few months in order tC retaintheir position. Teachers having this bugbear hanging over them cannot do professional teaching. The cities 01 some out-of-the way island are of more importance to them than any question in psychology. Questions in a recitation should b4 asked before naming the pupil who is t< recite. Then all will give attention not knowing who may be called on t< answer the question. Sonmc teachers seem to think thal teaching is hearing the pupils recit< lessons from text-books. A child ma: learn all the facts in all the ency'co padiais ever published and recite then perfectly, and yet be a useless juemibe. of society. It is not so much wvhat: child learns in school, as how h.ei taught to apply what he learns. Unless ahboy is taught to govern himi self in the school-house and school yard pray where is he to be taught.? Surel; when he has left school his emiploye does not cars to hire him, and at th same time hire some one else to watel him to see that he does his duty. Very often, to our shame be it said arc thie kindly words of praise and er couragemnent withheld from faithft tteW ca addit - te, and the fire P;)pe i:t5 a ~1mtiring d< col eheard inl any part of the~ hal!. Newberry had a dlgt this convention of whom she cout a high standing? Scarcely any. Such a boy will learn if shut up in a room by < himself; though you bind him hand and c foot, yet will he gain knowledge. The teacher who deserves credit, is he who - awakens the sleepy mind. He who a reaches that which all others have t failed to reach. He it is that, like the c sculptor who had finished his master- I piece, may clasp his hands and with s joy exclaim, "This is my handiwork !" s It "The School Journal" published by 1 E. L. Kellogg & Co., New York, is a live, practical weekly. Its pages are full of helpful articles, which every teacher should read. Send for .anple copy and read it carefully. Worth l:eading. Professor RaInsay thinks that color blindness is a defect of the brain in stead of the eye. According to the naturalists wasps remember the locality of their nests just ninety-six hours. The latest idea in New York is a but ter2-- show, at which 1DM),d) specimens -1 will be exhibited. The Metropolitan Cattle Market, London, is the largest of its kind, c covering 31 acres an'i costing one mil lion dollars. The Bank of England is the most v extensive banking institution in the o world. It employs over 1,000 clerks, and its buildings cover eight acres. t A Swiss watch manufacturer has just U invented a watch for the blind, on the i dial of which the hours are indicated by twelve projecting pegs, one of which sinks every hour. It is said there are farmer's wives on Long Island who make boys' ' ousers for three cents. There are women in New York who toil sixteen hours a day t for sixty cents. How the times change ! Our Puri tan forefathers at Salem persecuted people because they believed they were witches and had familiar spirits. To day we prosecute bogus mediums for pretending to 'have familiar spirits when we don't believe their preten- f sions are true. The largest trees in the world are the Sequoia Gigantea of California, found on the western slope of the Sierra Ne vada. Some are over thirty feet in di ameter, and 350 feet high. Dancing parties have been held on a sawn trunk and a man on horseback has ridden erect seventy-five feet through a hol low trunk. Vienna bread has made many for tunes, and one of GS,000,000 came to Count Zang, who died two weeks ago in Vienna. In 1842 he established the first shop for Vienna bread in Paris, and from that gained his wealth. The shop exists still as the MIaison Zang, on the Rue Richelieu. Of 600 tornadoes, of which record has been made in the United States, not1 more than 75 were east of the Alle ghany mountains. Tne warm air tem pestuously driven from the Gulf of Mexico up the Mississippi valley is caught up by the polar wind and driven in gyratory tornadloes across the prai ries. The Appalachian range serves on the Atlantic slope as a barrier against storms of that sort. The present German empress is the fifth English princess who has held that rank. The others were Edyth, daugh ter of Edward the Elder, wife of Otto I. ; Gunhild, dauhgter of Knut, wife of Henry III, of Germany ; M1atilda, the link between the Nornman and Planta genet dynasties, :wife of Henry V. of Germany, and Isabella, daughter of King John, wife of Frederick II., the wonder of the world. This last named princess was a direct ancestor of the late Prince Consort of England, and therefore of the p)resent German em press. Probably the most remarkable rail road in the world is that running from GJloggintz to Lounering, near Vienna. It is only twenty-five miles in length, and cost over $7,000.000. It begins at the little station of Gloggintz, at an elevation of 1,400 feet, and from there the train, hauled by two power ful locomotives, winds round and round over some fifteen double viaduets and through as many tunnels. It creeps along precipices affording glimpses of some of the wildest scenery in Europe. Its terminus, Lounering, is at an ele vation of 3,500 feet. All the garrisons within the limit of the Seventh German Army corps have now been provided with larger samples of the new article of food which is in future to form the so-called "iron ration" of the men in the field. It is a peculiar kind of bread, in the shape of small cubes the size of a chocolate drop, made of fine wheat bread, strongly spiced, and calculated to keep for a long time. When taken into the mouth it quickly softens. and is both p)alatab)le and nutritious, it is chiefly intended for forced marches, when there is no time for camping and cooking. A Subterranean Chapei. EL PAso, TEx., April 9.-An inter esting discovery has been nmade in an old Spanish mine on the property of. the Carralitos Cattle and MIining Comn pany on the, Casa Grange River in northern ('hihuahua, an immense es tate belonging to El Paso( and New York parties. The mine is called the Sani Pedro, and there is on it an old incline going into the mnoutain at an - angle of 40), and ev(iently following the richest ore streak in a z/igzag mani ner. At the end of this incline a sub terranean chamber was found wvhich had been fashionied evidently with great labor and trouble into a dome - thirty feet in diameter and about ,twenty feet high. Seats have been cut - fromt the solid rock running around the chapel, and so has been anm altar and a pulpit. The whole was found neatly :i whitewashed, andt presents at peculiar~ and weird aspect. Thew ancient chapel 1, could be used at a momenit ', inotic as a -place of worshii . Li A tradlition is found to exist among t the natives living in the neighborhood -that many years ago a regiment of f Spanish cavalry was stationedi at the , presidio of Janus, sonme twventyv-five *r miles distant fronm the mines, and that the Indians disclosed the existence of o the mine to the priest who was in ii spiritu~tl charge of the regiment. This )r>est went into partnership with the olonel, and they employed the soldiers >f the command in working the mine, vhich was found exceedingly rich. fter a while complaints were made .bout this enforced labor at headquar ers in Spain, and the colonel was call d home to answer the charge. Before aving, he and the priest divided the ilver, and the colonel's share was utficient to load cighty mules, which ie took with hiiii across the country to era Cruz, where he took ship for paml. HOME, SWEET HOME. l:eminiscence of the Battle of Chancellors ville. [From the ('olnmereial Gazette.] A quarter of a century i!go last night ie Army of the 'otolnei, under Fight i:g Joe Hooker, laid onl the north bank f the ijappalhannock opposed by the mfederate army under (=eneral Lee on ie opposite bank. The confederate anl5 were playing '1)iXie," which as wildly cheered. A union band at le Jacy houle played "The Star pangled Banner," which was cheered v the federal troops who laid ready to ross the river. A yankee regiment egan playing 'John Brown's Body Aes a-'Moldering in the (rave,'' which :as vocal'y responded to by iellilers f the regilent. The confederate 1began their famous ane, which always exasperated the nlion veteran when he heard its taunt lg words, viz.: I'm just from old Malrissat, With a pocket full of fun; I killed forty yankees with a single-barreled gun. It makes no dif-a-bitterane To neither you nor I, Big yank, little yank, Git, yank, or die. T'lis was responded to by union roops in stentorian notes We'll hang Jeff Davis To a sour apple tree. midst derisive howls on both sides of he river. While the hubbub was at its height he shrill scream of a locomotive was leard rounding the curve near Stone an switch, three miles and a half rom Falmouth station. When the roops left the train and pitched tents n the rear of the Lacy house at 10 'clock at night, the band begin to play 'Home, 'weet Home." As the last iote died a\ ., in the distance one vast hout of approval fronm two hundred housand veterans on both sides of the aappahannock ascended heavenward, and to the wings of each army eighteen niles distant. The following night at 1 o'clock twenty-two thousand veterans both sides who had cheered in 1uison the previous evening, laid cold n death, or mangled around Chancel orsville. WESLEY T. WILSON. F~rank Lesiie's Sunday Magazine for June. The contents of the number are time y to the season, and two of the articles elate to Lake Champlain. Tfhese are Bow Arrowv Point.and the American Canoe Association," by Frederic 0. Mather, and "Our Summer on Lake Champlain, the Inland Resoni of the Future," by Emily Pierce. Both of these articles are finely and fully illus trated, and they make one long to go thither. Lake George has so long monopolized attention that it is an agreeable change to find Lake Champ lain receiving the recognition its ibeau ties merit. "A Visit to Fort Qu'Ap pelle," depicts, by pen and pencil, an interesting spot in our Canadian neigh bor. "The Constitutional Convent ion of 1787," by Walter Edgar McCann, is interesting, and "Music," by Ausburni Towner, is notable for its curious illus trations. In addition to his sermon and editorial coiments, Dr. Talmage con tributes a capital article on "Woman hr ow n Defense." Thle shorter articles are numerous' as~ usual anad very inter esting. Trhe whole number is valuable. A Musical Girl. Fronm a Georgia Paper.] Miss Annie McCormick, one of Hawkinsville's most charming young ladies, was in town to-day, and made a number of friends and many mashes among our gay and festive youths. I cannot blame the boys for fallhng in love with her, however, for any young lad who can play two pieces on a piano ad sing a third at the same time, is ompetent to captivate the miosi fastidious of us. I have often heard 01 fine performers on the p)iano, but har never seen or heard any one who woulc compete with her. She can sit wvitt her back to the instrumnlt and play most beautifully. It is said that sh< can play three differenit instruments a once, and I don't doubt it, for she offer eddtto dso here if furnished the prope: istrumeits." Modrn Improvement' 'in Devotion.

Mr. De Bausset's Invention Receives Iecog nition from Congress. \WAsIr NTOx, May 11.-Mr. A. I Bausset, who has invented the plan tio an airship for carrying freight and pa.s sengers through the atmosphere re ceived to-day a partial recognition o his scheme from the House Comnitte on Ventilation and Acoustics, to whiel his bill was referred early in the ses sion. Mr. De Bausset desired Congres to appropriate $150,000 to construct th ship. The bill as reported to-day provide that no money shall be put into th scheme by the government until Mr De Bausset has put $75,000 into th enterprise and a commission appointe( by the Secretary of the Navy is satis fied that progress with the work I being made. The government wil then advance -75,000 and anothe $75,000 will be paid to the inventc after a successful test of the ship shal have been made. Secretary Whitne, is authorized to give Mr. De Bausset th use of the Washington Navy Yard fc this purpose. Mr. De Bausset's invention consist of a nietalic vessel divided into con partments and otherwise suitably bra ed and strengthened against extern: weight or pressure, and of requisit size, so that when sufficiently exhaus ed of air it will by displacement of bulk of external air greater than i weight rise in the air and sustain anm carry a desired burden; said vessel to I p)rovided with pumips for exhaustir the air; also with rapidly revolvab blades or propellers for moving and f< steering it; also with means for train porting passengers and freight, tIl whole to constitute a conivevance f< rapid passage at short or long distance as for overland or transeceanic pa sage and for general p)urp)oses of con merce, exploration, observation, etc. MIr. D)e Bausset is very confident the practicability of his schenme, am this confidence appears to bec shared I a numbhler of Representatives who haw investigated the matter. Doi't Experiment.
