1 "HE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURO. P' Bejoicing, llot Mourning. In al! cases, Robert P.ers' saying that, Man was made to mourn t is not true," for surely the teachers of Coliimbia county are not mourning, but, on the other hand, are rejoicing, since Mr. Miller's re-election as Sup crintcmlcnt. Mr. Miller has in the past conducted the work in such a way as to prove himself wotthy of the office, and the wideawake directors were aware of the fact, and the people in genera! must have been of the same opinion or there would have been others work ing to secure the office. .Surely, he has left nothing m his power undone that he thought would in any way lead to the advancement of our public schools. Mr. Miller certainly takes great care and pains to secure the best instruct ors and entertainment, that the teach ers may be benefitted by the County Institutes, and he is also much inter ested in the township or local Insti tutes. If the directors would take as much interest in the school work as the Su perintendent does, and provide more and ietter supplies, our sc'.iools would improve more rapidly than they do. ' Before the election I heard a di rector say that if Miller is re elected again Columbia county will have nothing but graduates and juniors for teachers this year, as he is a firm friend to the Normal teachers. And so he should be, if they are deserving of it, but time will prove that others than graduates and juniors will teach, for if a person is qualified to teach J. K.. Miller is not going to refuse them a certificate just because they are not Normal students. It will almost be necessary for him to pass a few others, at least, to teach the $20 and $25 schools, as graduates cannot afford to teach for such wages after spending their money and time to qualify themselves for better teach ers. Certainly the directors can aid the Superintendent very much alone the line of school work, and now if those who have been in favor of twenty and twentv-five dollar teachers, just add enough to this amount to enable them to secure experienced and better teachers, better results will be bi ought forth from the boys and girls, who are to become our future teachers, and the ruling element of our Great and glorious land. A Teacher. A President's Grave Unmarked- Two pages of pictures in the June Ladies' Home Journal, giving views ot the places "Where our Presidents Are Buried," recall the fact that four of the first five of our Chief Executives sleep in the soil of Old Virginia. The picture shows that the grave of President Tohn Tyler, at Richmond, Virginia, is absolutely unmarked even by a small headstone. Visitors to Holly wood Cemetery are shown a scarce ly perceptible mound, over which a rnnrmnlin trtn cnrttilc: ite c-'ltrwl ;.- Summer, as the resting place of our tenth President.

Jumped From the Brooklyn Bridge, To test a theory of will power, a man leaped from the lJrooklvn bridge and escatwd without any in jury whatever, lie was a student of Theosophy, and influenced by his teachings, he made a sensation al dash from a bridge trolley car over the rail . Howard Kretz, a voune man about 22 years of age, who is an art student of the Academy of De sign, in New York, made a start ling and successful jump from the Brooklyn bridge just before dusk Sunday evening and came out of the river uninjured.' Just before six o clock Kretz lxarded a trolley car bound for Brooklyn. It was an open one. and offered all the advantages which lie was looking for. When the trolley reached a point about one hundred yards from the first arch, near the highest point of the span, Kretz leaped from the car, and, like a flash, vaulted over the high railing. He took no time to steady himself for a perpendicular drop and swung some distance out from the struc ture before he assumed an upright position. The passengers jumped, from the car in alarm and peered throuch the railing, while hundreds of per sons on the promenade tried to get a glimpse of the figure. Kretz's body flashed through the air almost in a perpendicular streak. He struck the water feet first, cleaving it like an arrow. He disappeared for some seconds, and then shot up into view again, only to disappear for the second time. The waters had hardly closed over him when he reappeared and immediately struck out strongly for the New York shore. One of the deck hands on the freight steamer Vulcan, of the Nor- walk line, which was coming down the East River at the time, saw Kretz flash through the air and dis appear in the water. The deck hand gave the alarm, and the Vulcan was headed for the young man, who was by this time swimming. A line was thrown to Kretz and he was hauled abroad the freighter, which immediately put in for her dock on the East River on the New York side. When taken on the Vulcan Kretz placed his hands on his abdomen as if in pain, but when the boat reach ed her dock Kretz sprang from the boat onto the wharf. He was at once taken into custody and hurried to the Hudson Street Hospital. Not the slightest injury was found on his person, but he was suffering from shock. He was detained on the charge of attempting suicide. Kretz is about .5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs about 140 pounds TT1a . . a iie saia mat ne nact oeen reading a book on theosophy, and that he wanted to demonstrate that a man by exercising his will power, could do anything he wished without in- Jury to huself- A VALUABLE PUBLICATION.

'Every soldier's grave made during our unfortunate civil war is a tribute to American valor. 'And while, when those craves were made, we differed widely about the future of this government, these differences were long ago settled by the arbitrament of arms, and the time has r.ow come, in the evolution of sentiment and feeling, under the prov. idence of God, when, in the spirit of fraternity, we should share with you in the care of the graves of the Con federate soldiers." President Mc Kin Icy at Atlanta. Once more we gather under skies of May, When lilac Blossoms, and when violet blows, And on these (rrassy graves wc wpave a spray Of Northern lily and of Southern rose. once more we hear the blue bird's song afloat, The thrush's piping In the dewy dell ; We thrill to hear the Northern robin's note, And stand ensnared by Southern mock-bird's spell. Once moro the winds through odorous orchard blow, The creamy hawthorns through the fences twine; Lol alt the sunrise splendor are aglow, Like cataracts of red and golden wine. We bring a wreath, O martyrs numberless. Who perished that your country still might live; Who fought and bled, the unborn babe to bless, That we should still be brothers, and forgive. But now we come, not as In bygone years, When anger poisoned sorrow through and through ; When no one cried, through blended love and tears, Forgive them, for they know not what they dol" Thank God, those days have now forever passed, With all their strife of party, clique, and clan; The Northerner, the Southerner, at last Is simply, solely, an American. On Santiago summits we unite The grizzled foes of Chlckainauga's day ; The hatreds of a Shlloh sink from sight Beneath the waters of Manila Bay. Above your graves, exultant anthems swell, When Peace and Love have healed the battle's blows We flush with pride to think those fought so well With these, so brave to overcome such foes. Peace be too Lee, whoso honor shall not cease ; To Stonewall, of the valor-vibrant name ; Peace be to Grant, who longed so much for Peace, To Lincoln, ot the everlasting fame I llarjter'i Weekly.
