Those mighty dames wiih redoubted names, 3?ay erst have held the^r sway ; 7l?s the little woman-bless her heart ! jf Who rules the world tooday. if SVuh her wi-rul, witching, winsome ways, ? Her artful, artless smiles Ber airy grace and her fairy free * H . wisdom, wit ?nd wiles, Sie m?cks ?he pride and she sways the strength, She bends the wi!I of man, As only such a despotic elf A little woman-car?. Though ber pathway may lead thro'the dark ? . .. est ways, v 5be always buds a light ; Though ber eyes be dazzled by fortune's rays, She's sure to see aright ; Though ber "wisdom be of M> special school, Ser logic "just because/' The Srsf bas settled a kingdom's fate, ^ v The last bas made its laws. 'T?3 the little woman that goes ahead, Whee reen would lag behind ; The little woman who sees her chance, And always knows her mind Who caa slyly smiie a3 she takes the oath To honor, love, obey; And mentally add the saving clause In a little woman's way i Would the diamond seem such a perfect gem If it measured one foot round? Would the rose-ieaf yield such a sweet per? fume If it covered yards cf ground ? Would the dew-drops seem so clear end pore if dew like rain should fall? Or the little woman seem half so great Ii s'?ie were sir feet tall ? 'Tis the hand as soft as the nestling bird That grips the grip of steel ; 'Tis the Toke as low as summer wiad That rules without appeal, r And the warrior, scholar, the saint and sage Slay fLht and plan acd pray, ' " The world will wag xiii the end of time Ia the little woman's way. -jfory C. Barnes. Some of the Hebrew maidens of. Columbia disregard the race barriers j } that Lave existed for forty centuries, j Miss Camille Peixotte, aged fuurteeo. and W. E. McCartba a Gentile school teacher ran away acd were marrieds . A few months ago there was a similar elopement and marriage in that city. The ruain'featare of the Spring Flora1. Fair of Charleston will be the rose scow, which will come off early in April. The committees are now at work and ? arranging for thc f?ir. Liberal premiums * are offered. It is thought that it will be the most attractive show of flowers ever j*eec even in Charleston, the city of flowers. Special rates wiil be made over the railroads and it will he a good time for oar people to take a little trip to the city. According io Judge Wallace, one of the greatest cause3 of the miscarriage of justice in our courts is false swearing | from the witness stand. This is un- j doubted!*.* true. An7 ene familiar with ? court room scenes knows DOW preva.ent I among the lower class of people is the idea ! that to stand by a friend who is in trouble j means tc gr? upon the witless stand and j deliberately perjure himself in bis J friend's behalf. A few well-directed in- j diet men ts for perjury will do mash to j clear the moral atmosphere of the court ! " room. I Soppose that Joe Brown, the pro- j tectionists and the whisky insurretion ists succeed ia repealing the whisky | tax ia order that the States may impose j . tie same tax the United States does j now, would there be any less killing of j revenue oScials and moonshiners than there are now ? Do not evil deers dread the Federal law cad i's execution -much more than they would State laws ? Would not these evils be greater than they are now, and woald there not be a j great ea increase ic crimes of that sort ? i .,. ._ . - I A bill bas been introduced in the j Kentucky Legislature and has passed j in the House, whi-jh, if it becomes \ a law,promises to knock patent medicines j higher than a Lire. The bill provides ! 'that it ?hail be unlawful to sell patent j medicines containing poisonous or nos iocs ingredient, or of any narcotic, ! whether the formula is attached cr not. j It also shall be unlawful for any person ! to sell patent medicines in Kentucky un- i . less there be printed on each package cen- j ta:ning the same, a statement of ail in- j ?redients thereof and the quantity used 1 in compounding.

TRACHESS5 COLUMN. EDITED BY J. T. ATI LD ER. Questions. 1. Teachers, are you going to thc Inter-County Institute ? , 2.. i's there "a teacher in the Countv who'has not familiarized his or* her pupils with the geography of their own Township, County, and State, and the history of the same ? o Is it deemed advisible to. teach pupils matters pertaining to the civil government of a County as well as to I the State ? 4. What political division of land, and the only one, has a curved bound? ary, and why ? 5. What are Pes'alozzi's* main principles in teaching ? 6. What is a boomerang, for what used, and where ? 7. Is there any distinction between 'frizzled-haired* and 'wooly-hafred' people ? "j&ethod vs. Scholarship." Who of our readers will volunteer to discuss the pros and cons of 'Meth? od vs. Scholarship/ in teaching. Both are essential elements in the make-up of the qualifications of a good teacher ; but which has the as? cendancy, or which has the tendency to ascendancy ? The Peabody Educational Fund According to Secretary Green's re? port the fund amounts to $2,000,000, and the income therefrom $70,000. Thc income is distributed as follows : Scholarships, $22,800; normal school, $13,000; institutes, $11,600; public schools, $13.000 ; normal college at Nashville, $9,500. , The States now receiving money ; from the fund are Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, .North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. Reports | show very favorable results. Schol? arships are allotted as follows : k Alabama 13, Arkansas 10, Georgia -14, Louisiana s, North Carolina 14,. South 'Carolina 6, Tennessee 14, Texas 9, Virginia, 14, West Virginia 9. The scholarships are ?200 each, i- m _n ? - Common Sense in Stu?ying. The following, selected from the National Educator may be interesting to the general reader as well .as to the educator. We have always been in accord with this view, believing that the different mental faculties of a child should be judiciously developed simultaneously, and that each should have mental food sufficient in quanti.*y and kind : 'The opinion prevailed formerly that one study should be completed before another is begun, in other ~words, tiiat the study of only one branch, or at most two, could be pur? sued at the same time. This idea gave us the three r's, freadiu; ??tin, n?hme?ic' Since the human mind and its law have become a.study, we have discovered the error of this the? ory. We know now that man is not only a trichotomy, but that the human mind is such also. The three grand divisions of the intellect are the pre? servative, the re-presentative and the reproductive faculties. The "simulta? neous development of these three fac? ulties comprises the education of the mind as a whole. 'When but one or two branches are pursued, some of the faculties are neg? lected, and the mind becomes, conse quently, one-sided, un-symicetrical. besides, when only one of the facul? ties is exercised, the strain on it is so great, that this faculty tires and we become dull and lose interest in our studies. For this reason the study of three or four branches can be pursued with the same ea9e and at the same time, and with greater interest than on?v one or two. 'Thus, arithmetic, for example, when no other branch is studied in connection therewith, becomes irk? some, at least till the faculties of the mind have become perverted, and a morbid desire has been created. The result is an individual with but one idea. 'Against such a state of things the faithful, conscientious teacher and pa? rent will lake measures to guard. Why is it that so many of the young of the present day are confirmed novel readers; with no desire for sound lit? erature ? Why do works o*j history, lu-tural history, science, poetry, or even standard romance remain un- ! touched, rot on the library shelves, j while the ten cent novel, the 'biood ! 1 . , .. . V . ; v^...'-'-.... * and thunder literature/ is eagerly ? sought after and devoured with a ? gusto ? The reason is easily explain- j ed. The imaginative powers of the j intellect luve been allowed to devel- ? op, encouraged to do so, while the ! ocher faculties have been neglected. ? i .This is entirely wrong, a perver- ? sion o? true ?ducation, and we say ! again, teachers, parents and those i who have charge of the education of the young atc responsible for this crippling of the intellect. How sha'i thc evil be remedied T ' By arranging a common sense pro? gramme for reading and studying, a schedule which contemplates tue daily exercise, the simultaneous develop? ment of the difieren! mental faculties. Every child in school from thc Kin? dergarten up to the advanced grade, yea, to the failr fledged college and university student, should have on hi* daily programme of work such different branches, as wiil cati into exercise the trinity of the mimi For the ?i;rau?e.inef^? of-such :J programme, lire teacher is held responsible. ii<* most understand i he laws of thc iu teiiect aird provide for live exercise of the various i.:cu!t;es, when he arran? ges his programme, so that every pupil vi!! have at least one ? x** reise u d?iV for the cultivation of th" memory", one for the po wei a of observation, one for the "marination, one lor the reasoning faciiuies.

The inhabitants of the neighborhood just below Carterville were terribly scared np last Saturday morning, and if the story told by a citizen of that section iitrue, these good people had every cause for alarm. A dog, apparently suffering with rabies, got aboad in the neighborhood, and not only did he frighten the citizens, bathe undertook the job of devouring the whole canine tribe in that quarter. The animal first made its appearance upon the premises of County Auditor Hugh Fountain, where it attacked the dogs, eating up one of them all but its head and snapping off another's tail close up to its body. Having cleaned up Mr. Fountain's premises the raving animal proceeded a half mile further and opened operations on Mr. Thomas Humphrey' s dunghill by chasing all the dogs aod fowls off the place. It then attacked and bit a cow very severely, and started to go into the house, but w&s prevented by some of the family closing the door. The animal's next attack was upon the ten? ants on the same place, every head of whom it chased off the plantation and compelled them to climd trees for safe? ty. Passing on to Mr. George Hum? phrey's, it turned'on the dogs and fowl? there. Mr. Humphrey, however, had his shooting irons all in trim, and no sooner bad the savage intruder com? menced its pranks on bis'premies than be opened war upon it. But, strange to say, the shot did not seem to take the slightest effect. Volley after volley did Mr. Humphrey fire with tbe most ac? curate aim possible upon the mad brute without even producing a howl. Fin? ally it grabbed up a full-grown dog and ran off into the river swamp, and has been seen co more. The cries of Mr. Humphrey's dog, as it was borne off into the swamp between the ravenous jaws of its captor, are described as very piteous, but there was no possible chance of rescue. Whom the desperate dog belonged to or where it came from has yet to be ascertained. Neither has it been beard of since it quit Mr. Humphrey's premises cn Saturday morning.-Tim monsviU?
