'I am sorry,' said the gray-haired old war

Tlie captain took his haud, and assured
him that his name should be held in re
spect.
Toward evening, Ticrro Vaillant, his wife
and child, were admitted to see the prisoner,
This was a visit which Jerome would gladly
have dispensed with, as his feelings were al
ready wrought up to a pitch that almost uu
manned him ; but he braced himself for the
interview, nnd would havo stood it like a
hero bad not little Natalie, in the eagerness
of her love and gratltude.thrown herself uu
ou his bosom and offered tiAfie in his stead
This tipped the briming cup, and his tears
fluwe freely.
Pierre and Lisctte knew, not what to say
They wept nnd they prayed, and they would
have willingly died for the noble fellow who
had been thus condemned.
Later in tlie evening came a companion
who, M he lived, would sometime return to
Jerome's boyhoodh home. First the con
demned thought of his widowed mother, and
he sent her a message of love aud devotion
Then he thought of a brother aud s!ster,
And, finally, he thought of one a bright
eyed maid whose vine-clad cot stood upou
the hauks of the Soine one whom he had
loved with a love such as only great hearts
can feel.
'Oh, my dear friend I' he cried, bowing hi
head upon bis clasped hands, ,you need
not tell them a falsehood ; but if the thing
is possible. let them believe I iell in bat'
tie I'
Ilis companion promised that, ho would
do all be could ; and if the truth could not
be kept back, it should be so truthfully told
that the name of Jerome Dubois sbould not
bear dishonor in the minds of those who had
loved him iuother days
Morning came, dull and gloomy, with dri
ving sleet and snow ; nnd, at an early houi
Jerome Dubois was led forth to meet his

upon a low, barren spot toward tho sea ; and
thither his division was being marched to

dashed towards tlie point where his own
company was stationed, The rattle of mus
ketry had commenced, and the Prussians
wero vainly eudeavoring to break the tquares
of French troops. Jerome Dubois looked
about him for some w,eapon with which to
arm bimself. and nresentlv he saw a Prus
sian-ofiicer not far off reeling in his saddle
as though he had been wounded. With a
quick bound he reached the spot, pulled the

Tho way was becoming blockel up with dead
men nnd dead horses, and tho head of tiie
column sttpped and wavered.
Marshal Lefebvre, from his elevated plnco
saw this, and his heart throbbed painfully.
it mat column were routed, and the Iltissinn
nfantry charged over tho peninsula, the re
nt might bo calamitous.
Hut seo i A man in the uniform of a
French private, mounted upon a powerful
nrse, caparisoned in the trappings of a
russlan s nff officer, with his head bare,
nnd ka bright .vbre swinging in his hand
rushes tn the front, and urges the column
orw.ird. His words are fiery and his look
launtless.
F.irrran"e and Lefebvre !' the strange
horseman cries, waiving his sword aloft, anl
nnting toward the batle'y. 'The murehal
will weep if we lose this day.'
Hie bravo troopers thus led by one who
frared not to dash forward where the shot
fell thickest, gave an answering shout nnd
pressed on, raring little for the rain of death
so long as they had a living leader to fol-
ow.' Hoping that ho might take the bat
tery, and yet courting death, Jerome Du
bois spurred on, and finally the troop came
upon the battery with irresistible force.
It was not in the power of the cannoneers
to withstand the shock, and the Russian in
fantry that came to their support were swept
away like clialT. Tho battery was quickly
captured, and when tlie guns were turned
upon those who had shortly before been
their masters, tho fortune of the day was de
cided. The Russians and the Prussians horpe,
foot and dragoons such ns were not taken
prisoners, made their way back into Dant
zic, having lost much more than they had
gained,
Jerome Dubois returned tn the guard
house, and nave himself up to the officer in
charge. First a surgeon was called to dress
several slight wounds which he had receiv
ed. Next the colonel was called to see what
should bs done with him. Tlie colonel at
plied to the general of brigide, and the gen
eral of brigade applied to the general of di
vision, and the general of division applied to
Marshal Lefebwe.
'What shall wo do with Jerome Dubois ?
'God bless him I' cried the v.eteran gener
al, who had heard tho whole story. 'I'll
pardon him to-day, and to-morrow I'll pro

And Jerome Dubois, in timo, went him
self to see the loved ones in France, and

How to Teach the Teachers.
Ine College ot bwarthmore, about ten
miles by rail west of Philadelphia, has
adopted a method for the training of school
teachers which already makes it? Normal
Department tbo object of much interest, and
which, if successfully carried out, will fur
nish a model on which the whole system o
training instructors for youth may ultimate
ly be shaped. Tin present method of Nor
mal School instruction in the ten school dis
tricts which, out of the twelve in Penn
sylvania, have State Normal Schools, is, as
is well known, a carefully arranged course
of instruction in the highest grades of com
mou school study, to which are added
the theory of teaching and the study o
sell id economies Practical exercises
leictiiog a iimdel school are given to each
Ko'mlar in tlie last term of the last year, and
are set down as occupying forty-five minutes
who desire to become teachers, but to certifi
cited teachers also, from auy school district
who may cuter for a short space of time to
t ike up any branches, or such part of the
prescribed course as they are Competent to
take, if they are not able to occupy them
selves with the full course. The State pays
fifty cents a week to 6Uch pupils by way of
encouraging them to take as much of the
course as is po.-sible, as it is not necessary to
be n graduate of a Normal School to obtain
a school certificate in all of the districts of
the Slate. The Girl's Normal School of this
city also places its practice lessons in the
concluding portion say the last two months
of tho pupil's course. It is recognized, if
not implied, in tlie administration ol our
public schools, that a certain grade of pro
ficiency as a teacher enables a candidate to
get a position in the grammar schools, nnd
that a lower grade is sufficient for a place in
the primary department. This altogether
ignores the lact that the primary depart'
ment is tho only one through which a ma
ority ot the children go, drafted of!' from it
into early work, and that as it is therefore
the only grade in which they have oppor
tuuity tu learn, the highest order of talents,
nstead of the lower, should be employed in
teaching them. Added to this is the related
fact that in the primary department the
whole foundation of future study, habits of
thought and mental clearness is laid.
Starting out from these consideriitions,the
new method of Normal teaching is based
ou the idea that the teacher should be learn
ing to teach, by practice, a portion of every
day in the school-week through tho whole

The plan proposed by the Swarthmore
College, aud already begun in that excellent
institution, so fully explains tho method
that a short statement of its working is pro
hably the best way of arriviug nt a fair un
lerstandiug. The study of teaching U made
au elective study of the entire college course
and in connection with all the higher studies
room is made for it, not in one term, but in
every day of every lerm of the course. There
is at this college a preparatory department
of four classes, from which, as Exeter feed
Harvard, the college classes are largely made
up. I his is, rightly considered, such an Iiu
portaut feature that the college professoi
teach or superintend the teaching In all its
classes, and it is under these professors that
lie Normal class will get at its work, Tw

cholar knows, see what it is that keeps the
lass lu order ana gives the power of con

moral, displayed by each child during the

ant In the lesson of observation. One hour of
each week each of these pupils is required to
take charge of tho class, dutlng which time
tho professor may or may not be present to
supervise. Thus in every week the Normal
pupil spends tdx hours in the study of teach
ing, four hours of observation of the pro
fessor's method, one hour of practice, and
one hour, equally Instructive, of witnetslng
tho practice of the companion pupil.
Another feature of the new method is ap
plied to teaching tlie teachers how to aid the
class in preparing the lessons for the follow
ing day. To most parents who aid their chil
dren in ''getting their lessons," tho whole
school system seems wrong sido out. They
teach tho boy and girl the lesion, and the
next day the teacher "hears it." Conscien
tious parents are often inclined to think that
hearing recitations is the easiest part of the
work, and would'be willing to contract,
themselves, to hear all the lessons, prnvldtd
the teacher would ttach them first, and pre
paro tho scholars ns they are now prepared
at home. The new plan proposes to do awav
witli this parental tax entirely, andgivea
certain pottion of each day to the prepara
tion of the next day s studies, which the
teacher will direct and explain, answering
questions and giving such assistance as may
be required over difficult portions, There is

A Funny Story About Miaou.
Among Edison's first inventions was a
contrivance fur producing perforations in
paper. Among tne girls bo engaged lo work
with it was one who attracted his notice one
day, nnd he gazed ut her until she btcame
confused, wliFreupou he abruptly asked
her :
'What do you think of me, little girl f
Do you like me ?'
'Why, Mr. Edison, you frighten me, I
that is-I '
'Don't be in n hurry about telling me. It
doesu't matter much unless you would like
to marry me.'
The young woman was disposed to lau;h,
but Edison went on :
'Oh, I mean it. Don't be in a rush, though.
Think it over ; talk to your mother about
it, and let me know soon as convenient
Tuesday, say. How will Tuesday suit you,
next week Tuesday, I mean ?
Edison's shop was at Newark in those
days, and one night a friend of his employ

Telegraph company in New York, returning
home by the last train, saw a light in Edi
son's private labratory, anu climbed tne din
gy stairs to find his friend in one of his
characteristic stupors, half awake and half
dozing over some intricate point in electric
al science which was battling him,
'Hello, Tom ?' cried the visitor cheerily,
'what are you doing here this late ? Aren't
you going me ?'
'Vh.at time is it ?' inqired Edison, sleep
ily rubbing his eyes nnd stretchiug like a
lion suddenly aroused,
'Midnight; easy enough. Come along '
'Is that so V returned Edison in a dreamy

The Negro Created Before Adam.
Prnfesior Winchi M nf tho Syracause Uni
versity, has reprinted in pamphlet form,
with the title 'Adamites and Pre Adsmite,'
an e"fay urignally published in the Northern
Chrittian Advocate, designed to show that the
negro race was in existenco on this globe
long before tho time of Adam. He favors, al
so,reforming the popularly received chrono
logy, and would place the creation described
in Genesis 10, 500 years befure the birth
of Abraham, or 15,878 years before tho pres
ent era. At the same timo he would bring
down the stone and lake dwelling ages to
within a period of not more than 0,000 years
In this way, he thinks, tlie Biblical
record can be made to agree with tlie estab
lished facts of modern ethnological phiologi
cal and geological research, Some special
interest attaches to his views, because tlie
publication of them has .led to bis dismissal
from tho Yanderbilt University, at Nash
ville, Tennessee, where in addition to his
Syracuse professorship, he held the chair ot'
historical gooloev and zoology. In spite of
his earnest protestation of orthodox,the Pres
ident nf the University insisted that he was
an evolutionist, and an enemy of 'the plan
of redemption,' and be had to go. The prin
cipal reason assigned by Dr. Winchell for
believing that the negro is not descended
from Adam is that the word Adam, signify
ing 'red' or 'ruddy,' cannot have been inten
ded to describe a negro, He refers to mon
uments of Egypt and Assyria, in which the
negro is depicted with the same peculiaritiei
which he possesses al this day, and hence he

Many years ago, when the white men who
i,aJ ueeii the Rocky Mountains might still
have been counted, and only very few of the
prarie Indians knew the uso of firearmi, a
hunter named Fitznatrick hud oue day got
as iii-iuck wouiu nave it, ue was seen oy a
nar party ot Indians, who immediately pre-
pared to give chase. There was uot the small-
lest chance fur eacape for him ; but the
young hunter made u feint of turning awav.
very Utile acquainted with the use of fire-
aims, had several times, when they hadtak-
- en white huulers piisoiier.s, put the muzzles
of their rifles close in their breasts and fired
them, by the way of experiment, to see what
wculd come ot it. He, therefore, thought it
prudent tu extract the' bullet from his, and
the warriors, who it appeared, understood
how to pull a trigger, seized the rifle, placed
himself a few paces in front of the owner,
took aim at hia breast and Ured. Put wheu
the IndiM looked eagerly through tho
smoke toward whero Fitzpaterick stood, they
saw he was saf.i and sou ml in his place, and
quietly took out of his pocket the bullet he
lud previously placed there and tossed it to
bis enemies, who were all amazement. They
declared that he had stopped the bullet in
its flight; that he was nn iiivulucrale and
wonderful conjurer, and what was more, that
sotno great misfortune would befall the tribe
If they did not set him free immedialely.
