llistono was opened at Lexington Masj
about thirty years ago. Now ihey aro

and In others are carried on as a niero

eleven years slnco this Commonwealth
was divided into twelve Normal School
Districts for ns many schools, yet up
to this tlmo but four of tho districts
huvo availed themselves of theprlvileg

Whatever may have been thought
heretofore, It Is now no longer n ques
tion that schools of this sort nroa ne
cessity. Tho mind of the teacher should
not only bo stored wltliguncral and use
ful knowledge, such as ho Is required to
Impart to his pupils, but It should havo
been trained by suvere Intellectual dis

knowledge. The perceptive and reflect

In your original letter you asked int.

glvo you reasons, in referenco to each

A few remarksoii thu points that you
have touched lire all that mo can give at

vation to be miulo in legard to your re
ply. If thu North was all ltepublican,
thu South nlonuDemocralic.and 1 lived

might apply, for you keep up tuu Idea
all through, that whatever was douu by

know as well Us I, that as soon as tho

Interrupted between thu two sections,
nml lliu Duinocrals of the North had no
couneclluii with those of the South.
You asked, 'what wero thu principles
of tho Democratic parly since ISM?" 1
answer, thesamu as theyadvocato since

ing "did tho Fathers adx'ocate tho right
of .seces-lou?" "did Washington, Jeffer
son, Miulljon, Monroe or Andrew Jack
sou advoc.ito that doctrine?" no, cer
tainly, mid I will tell you .what else
they did not do. They did not endeavor

You talk of "saving tho country"
From what have you saved It? Did
you save it from war? From taxation
and debt? From military despotism
and Negro Hureaus? Did you save the

You talk of our party playing sharp

wo say n man pluys mean ho looks
out for himself without regard to the
means ho uses to accomplish his ends,
and there never wero words moro ap

aim has been to aggrandize themselves
and perpetuate their power. It Is
"strango Hint men sutler themselves to

They wero told that the war was for tho

the Abolition of Slavery and tho equal

They were told that when thu South

Singular Method of Discovering a
Drowned Body.
Wo aro informed hy Mr. J. Huchiiuun
the uncle of the young girl, Miss Kate
llruper, who drowned herself In tho
Mississippi liver, by Jumping from the
bluff In Fort Pickering, that her body
was recovered yesterday afternoon be
tween four and 11 vu o'clock, and was
immediately bttrludln Klmwood Cem
etery. The body was discovered by the
following strango Incident. It appears
that a young man employed In Mnr.s
teard's brewery felt confident that the
body bad lodged In the bottom of the
rix'er at a point about one hundred and
fifty or two hundred yards below where
she had Jumped In.nndthat hy keeping
constant watch it would soon make Its
appearance, lie had been led to tills
conclusion by tho movement of a loaf
nf bread whlclv, thrco days after the
dtownlng occurred, and when every
effort to recover tho body had been in
vain, was loaded with a quantity of
quick-silver, and set afloat near whero
tho girl threw herself in. As strango
as it may seem, the bread directly float
ed out to tho same point In tho river,
ami Instantly sunk where tho body
made Its appearance yesterday. The
young man, induced by the liberal re
ward of one hundred dollars, which
had been offered for tho recovery of the
body, patiently bided his time, keep
ing constant watch nearly the whole of
the time, night and day. Yesterday,
Hie ninth day after ho had seen her
drown hoi-self, and within about fifteen
minutes of the same tinio of the occur
rence, he was suddenly startled by
hearing an e.plo-lon in the liver like
that ofu shell bursting In tho distance,
and on looking around, saw tho body
liso ty thu surface, Just where tho loaf
of bread had disappeared six days ago.
This is Indeed uhtraugo phenomenon. -Jfnnphh
