LORD BEACONSFIELD AT
BERLIN.
There is probably no living man
more profoundly aatiafied with bis po
sition than Lord Beaconsfield. It is
impossible not to imagine him delighted
with the aonsatron which It la Impossi
ble to suppose that be did not intend.
He ia tbe first minister and really the
ruler of England, because it is well un
derstood that British policy la hia poli
cy. Us ia one of tho most conspicions
figures of tbe time, lie ia apparently
one of the most mysterious and suc
cessful of statesmen. Yet there is no
man about whom there ia more specu
lation and wonder and admiration and
distrust ; and there is probably only
one thing in which those who admire
bim and those who dislike and distrust
bim agree entirely, and that is hi in
expressible enjoyment in tbe conicious
noes ol being precisely the spectacular
kind of man that be is. We are, in
deed, contemporary with one of the
pioturesqn characters ot English his
tory. There is nothing nor remark
able than that the grandson of a Vene
tian Jew of Spanish deaeena, arrowing
up in England sooially in tbe solitude
of hia race, dashing into literature aa a
brilliant novelist, aad into polities aa A
Ire lanoe, should use lo Supreme pow
er, and, aa a peer of the realm, control
her foreign policy at a most critical
moment, supported bj the court, the
aristocracy, and tho squirearchy, a
Tory of Tories, and rostoriag by what
seems sheer audacity and ancient re
nown of England.
Prime ministers not native to tbo
countries which tbey controlled are not
unknown in European history, notably
in Spain, which ranks as one of the
proudest of nations. But the English
feeling has always regarded those in
stances as those of tho atnaiing success
ol adventurers, wbo sometimes left the
countiios that they bad ruled, and died
neglected and exposod. It has consid
ered both Alberoni and Ripporda as
Cagliostros in politico, and it is this
feeling, invincible in the Untub breast,
which looks upon Lord Beaconsfield as
a charlatan. The world it oponly and
generally used in spcakingot bim, and
some striking articles in recent num
bers of the Fortnightly Mcifw were de
voted to tbo political adventures ol
Lord Doaconsfiold a cunning implica
tion that Lord Beaconsfield is a politi
cal adventurer. It is a earioui inquiry
whether the kind of distrust and aver
sion with which this dazzling and suc
cessful careor is regarded in dio whol
ly to tbe fact or raco. It is not mere
party spito, because it is not pociliar to
party, and it is unique in tbo history of
llritisb parlies. It is not due whol
ly, and perhaps not at all distinc
tively, to the conviction of want of
principle. Lord Palmcrston was not
supposed to be troubled with principle,
but be was the darling of tbe exclusive
rintisb loeling which now cherishes
Lord lieaconstiold. Lord Palmerston
wantod England to have a finger in
every pie, "as the saying is," and his
foreign policy charmed the bully in
stinct in John Bull. The clubs and
courtiers and the whole Tory interests
have applauded in the samo way the
foreign policy not quite honorable and
fair, as it seems to many of the bril

and his vanishing curl, relio of the days

in a huge luxurious easy chair in a
loose coat and tbe gaiter trousers of
tbe time, tuny torty years ago. The
head is vory hsndsonio, the head of an
Antinous. The hair clustors arouod
the fine dome of the brain, so to speak.
and the mouth is lull, rich, and of vol
uptuous lines. It is precisely the fig.
ure that every romantic and lascinated
reader of Vivian Gray would expect to
see as that of tho author an imagina
tive and intellectual Sybarito. Vet a
photograph of Lord Beaconsfield today
in his suvonty-sooond year, showing
tne laminar Hebrew expression moie
strongly defined, and the look of su
preme satisfaction in the lullnesj of
passionate youth faded into the weari
ness of dandyism grown old, is not un
likj that earlier drawing. It ia easy
to believe that eithor of them is tho
dramatio personage of tbe Borlin Con
gress. "Lord Beaconsfield," said the
reporter ol the opening days, "is the
centre nf attraction. His personal
qualities, past career, and rooent suc
cess equally command the interest of

are watching to see Lord Beaconsfield."
Ion smile as you read. Thousands
and thousands of persons in England
and America amile as they read, and
say to themselves, "Aha I old True
ponny 1" Tbia is Disraeli. No great
er sell satislaction is ooncoivable than
that of the luxurious lounger of Park
lano reflecting that, as prime minister
of England, be is tbe chiof and myste
rious and popular figure at a great l.u
ropean Congress to re adjust the map
and oompose the continent. It is tho
measure of tho man that undoubtedly
the feeling is universal that tbe eclat of
the position is as delighlul to him as
any service that he may do, and that
even if he could restore to England, as
bis sycophants allege that be bas al
ready restored, the foreign ronown that
it bad in tbe days ot ritt, his chiot in
terest in the matter would be his ow nglo
ry rather than tbe welfare of England.
This teeling may be very unjust to his
patriotism, but it is undeniable that it
is not an impression that Pitt, or Can
ning, or Gladstone, or any other ol the
great English ministers, could have
possibly produced.
At Ibis t
timo of writing it is altogeth
er too soon to try to foretell tbe actu
al results of tbe Congress. But it may
be surmised safely that tho unostenta
tious skill of Russian diplomacy, which
bas been so snccessml thus far, is not
to be easily baffled. Tbe agreement
pon which tbe Congress assembled
bowed conclusively that Russia had
made no serious concessions. If what
ia now said to be tbe aim of Lord Boa
consrlold au English protectorate
over Turkoy should be attained, tbo
advance ot Russia would nevertheless
have boon accomplished, and tho Turk
ish empire would have been over
thrown. These, however, are not mat
ters for tbe easy chair. But certainly all
tbe easy chairs in tho world could not
have a more sensational figure to con
template than the first Lord Bcaoons
fiold, tho last oarl of his race. Jiditor'$

RE
COAL TRADE OF THE CLEAR
FIELD COAL REGION.
The following articlo taken from
"'Tho Coal Trade," an annual publi
cation, being a review of tho intorestB
ot tbo coal trado and production in tbe
United btatos tor the year 1877
This coal field is located in Clear
field and Centre counties, in tbe cen
tral portion of the State of Pennsylva
nia, for an outlet oi tho products of
its minos, it is ocponoont upon the Ty
rone and Clearfield branch of the
Pennsylvania railroad, extending from
Tyrone on the main line (224 miles
west from Philadelphia), to Clearfield,
41 miles. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company owns tbo railroads, the ship.
ping wharves, and all the means of the
access to tbe markets, of tbe Atlanlio
seuboard ; tbe advantage of boing con
nected wun a railroad ol such magni
tude, with its wonderful ramifications
and connections, gives tbe coal propri
etors ot this region great facilities for
tbo proper conduct of their business,
and it is owing to tha vory liberal pol
icy of this corporation, that tbo dis
trict has been enabled to take tbe rank
which it has assumed, in connection
with the fuel supply of the seaboard.
The figures given of the production.
show that the market for this quality
ol coal bas steadily increased, while
other districts fell off; its introduction
at Now York and the East, having
oeen most succossitii during tbo past
year or two.
The coal is used for steam nurnoses
under stationary, marine, or locomo
tive engines, for making iron and steel
rails, for gloss works, in lime kilns,
and many other purposes, boing much
liked wherever used ; ignites freely,
burns readily, and leaves a white ash.
it is not easily friable, and bears trans
portation remarkably well.
Tbe latest report of the State Goo
logical Survey, says : "It may be no
ted here that these coals are frequent
ly, porhaps usually, termed semi-Bituminous,
having over twenty per cent
of volatile matter on tbe average,
while the semi-Bituminous belongs to
tbe Cumberland, Towanda, Blossburg,
etc. coals, which avorago between fit-
toon and twenty per cent, of volatilo
manors.

The coal measures are found to bo

Again, fifty feet above, is found a seam,

The rate of wages paid in this coal
field, during 1877, were only -forty
cents per ton for tbo digging of tho
coal ; this was lower than in compet
ing regions, and ia one of the causes,
in connection with the favorable ar
rangements mado with the carrying
company, that enabled tho region to
make so largo an incroaso in tbe mat

THE GIRL 1NCVRL PAPERS.
The uirl In curl nancrs does not make
regular pnblio exhibitions of herself,
but she is to be found in large numbers
in doors all over the country. 11 or
age range from ten all the way up to
whore girl cease lo bave any age to
speak of, and sho patron izos all kinds
or papers, irora tue aany journals to
the brown sheet which tbe grocer uses
to wrap a bar ol soap, although she re
ally bas a special fondness lor any
newspaper which some mourner ol the
family may have laid away for some
more important use than bair curling.
Sometimes it occurs that sit will use
hairpins to twist her front locks into
the countless contradictory shapes de
manded by fashion or someting of that j
kind ; but hairpins are not as cheap as
newspapers, and hairpins can bs used
for other things than hair twisting,
whereas tbe average girl rarely baa any
ether us lor a newspaper. Tbo girl
lo curl papers ol to-day ia not tbe girl
ore used to know in other years, the
girl who wound her long back tresses
up at night ana lot them wave in free
dom about her shoulders in tbe morn
ing. Tbe back hair ot tb girl in curl
papers of to-day doesn't trouble ber
much to wind up ; ah can hang it on
a towel-rack or over tbe back of a chair
and sleep in perfect peaoe with the
wbols thing on nor mind. The chief
anxiety oi tbe average girl is ber front
bair. iter social tnairs, her dresses,
ber ribbon, her household duties If
PUBLICAN.
she have such all combined are not
bair tbe euro that bor frizzes are, and
wbon she once has thoso tightly wound
in papors or hair-pins it is no ordinary
thing that will induce ber to toko them
out. II it should not happen to bo
Augustus' ovening and no ono else
should come, the girl in curl papors
will keep her knots intact, because no
body knows so well as she what a
dreadful responsibility comes upon hor
th6 moment tbo papers aro tnkon out.
Thoso frizr.es, which look just killing
to tho casual observer, aro wretchedly
frail structures and require the closest
attention, besides an invisible not and
a lot of invisible hair-pins, to save them
from utter demoralization. No kind
of weather has yet been invented which
is wholly favorable to the preservation
of the modornlrizz, no mailer how care
fully thai delicate littlo ornament is
prepared. Tbe rain takes tbe twist
out, tho hot weather melts it, and the
moist atmosphere at tbe soaside is the
constitutional onemy of tbo frizz it
sickens and dies thero ulmoBt without
a strugglo. The only real safety is in
tbo store frizz, with a roliuble twist in,
somothing that won't tiroop, and that
can bo lied on or removod without any
physical oxertion or mentul anxiety.
The girl in curl papers no doubt ex
periences ber greatest troubles at Ibis
time of tbo year and at tho various
warm woollier resorts, hue nnus so
little time to lay tbe foundation lor a
good lnzx that it Is awlully provoking.
Sho is compelled to make a radical
chango in her habits that doesn't suit
bor. one can t wear her curl papers
down to breaklast, to dinner or to any
thing olso, as she novur tails lo do at
home, and il's the most wearing thing
in the world to have the great care on
band so many hours. Between break
fast and dinner and dinner and tea sho
can slip awayto ber room and doupher
Irizzes, but it is a sacrifice as well as a
labor, ,She will miss a walk or a drive
or chat, almost as dear to her as ber
frizzes. Hut tbe frizzes reluee to be
neglected, and tbo girl who wears her
self thin twisting curl papers into her
bair the wbolo year around must go
somowhoro in the Summer for relaxa
tion, and nobody will deny that sho
ought to havo it That sho duosat't
get it is the fault of that Summer re
sort etiquette which basn t yet tolora
tcd the girl in curl papers in public
places. Tbo actual social demand iB
for the invitation of a resort where curl
papors, will be as welcome as frizzes;
wlieroallyoung womanhood can loungo
around in brown or white curl papers,
with or without back bair, and
not bo talked about. Unless some
thing ot this kind is done our Summers
will lie moro and more a terror evory
year and our loveliest young women
will be carried oft by insanity. Tho girl
in curl papors wonts as much freedom
in publio as at home and as a matter
of humanity sbe ought to bovo it. A
frail frizz can't bo on duty all tbo timo,
even for fashion's sake. Lot the girl

THE TRAMP PROBLEM.
Hon. W. A. Gnlbraitb, President
Judge at Erie, in a recent charge to tho
grand jury, discussed tbe tramp ques
tion at some length. Ho made some
pertinent recommendations for tbe
treatment of this "vexed question"
which we subjoin, thinking they will bo
found interesting to our readers :
"What the tramp most dieads is
work, and tbo real underlying cause of
the idle wondcrings of the vast bulk of
this imraenso mode ot worthless drones
is laziness a chronic aversion to labor.
Tbe pretense is inability to got work
to do, but tbe actual fact is determina
tion to shrik and avoid it, So long as
he-can be fed by thacharity or mistak
en benovolonce of tbe public, sleeping
in barns and occasionally stealing such
portable property ns comes in bis way,
bo will not work. He prefers to be a
postiferous eyesore and continual
burden and menaco to society a ter
ror to tho unprotoctod and defenseless,
ready for any crime, from robbing a
hen-roost to murdor, rather than to do
an honest day's work tor a living.
"The plain and obvious romody for
this threatening and alarming evil is
compulsory bard labor in county and
district workhouses. If every tramp
coining within tho bounds of the county
could bo committed at once to a work
house, whoro he wonid bo required to
work at some suitablo coarso labor not
requiring skill, for from threo to six or
nine months, wo should soon be com
paratively free from tbe visits of this
dangerous class. Tbey would avoid
us and bestow tbomselves elsowhoro,
and could this system bo made general,
so that there would be no State where
he would be solo from arrest and sen
tence and bard labor, tho evil would
soon be grcally allovialed and ultima
tely diminished to insignificant propor
tions, for oven a tramp, when he found
work to be inevitable, would prefer bo
ing his own master and having his own
earnings to working for the public Of
course there is a small percentage of
those known as tramps who are hon
estly looking for employment. An in
telligent magistrate can readily distin
guish and avoid the orror of commit
ting such as vagrants. Tho tramp
proper is a distinct spocios, alwaya re
cognizable. Ho is tho croature des
cribed by charlca Dickens: 'The piti
less rascal blights the Summer roads
as be mnundors on botween tho luxu
riant hedges where evon the wild con
volvulus and roses and sweet briar are
the worse for his going by, and need
time to recover from the taint of him
in the air.' "

PR8IONID TO BE USEFUL.
An educational journal is somothing
that should De in tho hands ot evory
teacher. As the fall term approaches,
teachers should ask themselves tbe
question : "What havo I done since 1
taught my last torm, to improve my
self in tho knowledge of the branches
taught T "A soon as a tree ceases lo
grow It commences to docay," and as
soon as a teacher stops studying and
investigating, ho begins to retrograde.
We hope, oro long, to seo an improve
ment in our mclhods of self-culture.
It is not enough to simply road a
few pages each year of a school econo
my, but you should inform yourself on
all topics that boor directly upon the
mark ot your prolcssion. Jn the ab
sence of an educational journal, this
column is dosigncd to be of use to the
teacher. - For a few numbers wo shall
occupy the greater part of the space
with selected "hints and helps trom
tho freshest sources, and we hope llint
all our teachers will try to catch some
inspiration to glean some lesson that
may benefit you and add to the suo

torm.
1IIHORIIER IN SCHOOL.
When we spook of disorder in school,
wo generally mean that the children
aro rudo and noisy, But most of tbo
disorder does not originate with tbo
pupils. Four parties aro interested in
the schools : the people, tbo parents,
tbe teachers, and the children. Each,
or all, may be out of order. Tho peo
ple should pay the expenses, and fur
nish agreeable houses lor instruction.
If they do not, they are disorderly,
and will greatly embarrass the prog
ress of the school. Many of our school
houses are dirty hovels, suitable only
for the home of tbe owl, or the abode
of the bats and vampire. Once 1 vis
ited a school where too temperature at
tho ceiling was eighty, while at the
floor it was only forty-four. Yet the
teacher scoldod and fretted because
tbo pupils were restless. Now, tho
toachor was not tho cause of all this
trouble. The public should furnish
bettor buildings. You would as well
expect a man to be healthy and order
ly with his head in tbe torrid zone and
bis feet in the frigid, as to expect pu
pils to bo orderly in such oxlreiue tem
perature Parents are in Older whon they send
their children regularly, clotho thorn
properly, supply them with books, and
oncourage the cause of education. If
parents knew the disorder tbey indi
rectly causo by permitting thoir chil
dren to squander the bourn, which
should bo given'to repose, in midnight
dissipation and vicious customs, they
would watch the clock and seo that
tbo school-child retires at an early
hour.
Teachers aro in order when they
are masters of tbe subjects which they
are required to teach, wbon they con
trol themselves, and when thoy gov
ern thoir pupils. The teacher should
bo wile. He should give absolute evi
dence of scholarship before he is per
mitted to enter the school-room. No
drilling, no tact, nor experience can
compensate tor tbe wont ot knowl
edge. But in addition to culture the
teacher ncods a professional prepara
tion, lie noeds instruction in tbo sci
ence of discipline Enowlodgo only
brings him to the problems ; his own
personal powers must solve them. The
very worst disorder is a disorderly
teacher. Thore are teachers whose
peculiar characteristic is whining.
They whine bocauso thoir school is loo
small, and whine because It is too
large ; they whine because it is unruly,
and it is unruly because they whine;
thoy wbino because tbey are sick, and
thoy whine enough to mako tho en
tiro school sick,
I would havo such teachers taken
out of the schools and whipped until
they laughed.
It teachers are cheerful, wise good
and onlhusiastio, disorder will bide
itself. It is difficult for us lo listen to
a dry sermon on tne Atonement, but
we bong with breathless silence for
bourn upon the sweet tones of Emer
son. Our pupils will be attentive U
wo give them something worthy their
attention.
Go forth, fellow-teachers, and carry
the torch of instruction into the cities,
towns, villages, and evory rural dis
trict. Instead ot a system of forced
obodionce, propngating imbecility,
let us have a systom of love that will
take hold of the hearts of tho pupils.
J. Vincent Coombs, in Normal leather.
Teachers have a work to do outsido
ol tho schools, in establishing literary
societies, reading rooms, and fostering
lyceums, Ac You should each be the
educational head of your county. It
would be a great work to organize a
literary society in ovcry school house
in tho Slate ; it would draw botb boys
and men from the tavern and the
store, and give them an Interest in
books and papers. I know you have
man a work on hand now ; but i
know, too, that tho man to do the
work is the one who has most or it to
do. Nobody expects much of an idlo
man, No man knows how much he
can do till be baa tried, and you will
do your present work bolter for this
addition. As you lift up public senti
ment, yon lift up tho schools. ,. P.

POLITENESS IN SCHOOL.
It will always bring a rich reward
of rospoct to bo polite lo your pupils.
Children relish and appreciate an "If
you please and a "Thank you, and
it, atios in ineir Bcn-respcct, witnnuv
which thore is -no true worth, (live
your example to your precepts. Chil
dren can delect shorn as well as grown
people, and will often notice inconsis
tencies in walk and conversation that
older pcoplo might pass unobserved.
The sncccssltil teacher will have few
rules, and respect them himself. The
bost is one Hint children can cosily un
