THE USE OF OIL AT SEA.
Although IheetTectol pouringoil upon
tho troubled waters scarcely enters in
to the mind of man beyond a figurative
sentiment, thoro aro a few modern in
stances of its wondorful power at sea
in cases of impending shipwreck. I hose
tow cants however, which found a faith
ful record ought to arrest moro deeply
the pubho attention ; for if tho effica
cy of oil is of tbo nature which, those
accounts would lead us to accept, so
simple a provision against tho disaslora
of the ocean can not be too extensively
known. With this view w lay before
our readers certain facts which will
bear examination, and it is hoped tend
to further inquiry.
Aa lar back aa 1770 a Dutch East
Indiaman was saved from wreck in a
storm near the islands of 1'aul and Am.
stcrdam by pouring on the sea a jar of
olive oil. The wntor ol naueraenrt
states that a Mr. Ritchie, who accom
panied a Danish captain to tha island
of I'orto Santo (being tutor to his son),
was standing on sboro during a hurri
cane, when ho saw tbo vossol in which
he arrived torn Irom tier anchor and
swallowed up. Suddenly in tha mid'
die ol the bay appeared a boat driving
toward the shore. Tna waves, bow
over, advanced with redoubled energy
but without breaking, and tossed tbo
boat so high on the strand that the
men were able to jump ut and scram
ble up the beach. The rescoo was due
to the captain, who, as tba boat enter
ed the breakers, stove in the head or a
keg oi oil, which, though unable to
CLEARFIELD, PA.,
lessen tboir height, prevented tho waves
from breaking, and caused thorn to run
up the strand like rollers, carrying the
boat with them. In lHo'7 a master stat
ed in the New York Shipping List that
he bad been at soa twenty-eight years,
and master lor ton years, and that he
had Bavod the vessel under his com
mand twico by oiling tho soa. Ho says
whon a ship is disabled and can not
get out of a storm, and the master has to
make the best ot a gale, if bo has oil
on board be should start two or throe
gallons over the sido to windward ; this
will mako smooth water. Tho oil ul
lowed to drip slowly out is all that
is required ; the ship is in smooth
though heaving water as long as the oil
runs. In 180-1, in tho heaviest galo of
wind bo ever experienced, be Install
sail, and then the rudder followed ; and
be knew tho vessel could not have rid
den the sea an hour longer if ho had
not bad somo oil. Five gallons lasted
filty-six houiD, and thus suvod tho ves
sel, cargo, and lives. IIo recommends
that ships of heavy tonnage should
have two iron tanks of forty gallons
each, ono on each sido, with tho laucets
so arranged that tho oil can be started
at any time into small vessels say,
ten-gnllon casks ; and in all ships, bouts
tanks of livo gallons each, well filled so
that in enso tho ship founders or burns,
the boats will have oil to Binooth tho
sea in a gale. With theso tanks, and a
good master who knows the law of
storms, and handles tho ship so as to
got out of the centro of them, the dan
ger of foundering is greatly reduced.
Cuplain Botts ol King (knlric, ot 1,
490 tons, which lately arrived at Bom
bay from Liverpool with a curgo of
coal, used common piuo oil in a heavy
gale ol wind to prevent the sea break
ing on board, and with perfect success.
The galo continued for nearly fivo days,
and raged with determined fury. It
bad lasted somo time, when the chicl
officer, Mr. Bower, bethought himself
ot a plan ho had seen tried upon somo
occasions, when in the Atlantic trade,
to prevent the sea brooking in. Ho
got out two cunvas clothes-bugs : into
each be poured two gallons of oil. He
punctured the bags slightly, and hung
ono over each quarter, towing them
along. I ho tilled was niumcul. I he
waves no longer broke uguinst tho
poop and sides of tho ship ; but yards
and yards away, where tho oil hud
slowly spread itself ovor the water and
n wukool the vessel, was a large spaco
of calm water. Tho' crew were thus
able to repair damages with great cubo;
the Bhip was relieved from tboso tre
mendous shocks received from tho muss
of water which bad burst over bcr
quarters and stern, and tho danger was
considerable lessened. The two bags
lasted twodays ; aftor which, the woist
rage ol the storm having expended it
self, no moro oil was used. Four gal
lons of oil, scarcely worth thirty shil
lings, perhaps hero saved tho King
Centric, its curgo, and the lives and prop
erty of the crew.
Iho abovo facts aro cupublo of abso
lute verification. The philosophy ot
the operation is simply that tho thin
covoring of oil floating on the waves
prevents the wind trom entering under
the surlaco, and thcreloru greatly re
duces the roughness ot the sea, and
bly the height of tho waves, the
crests of which are thus prevented from
breaking, which is ono of tho principal
causes of danger. Tboro is, however,
nothing new in the application ot oil
for such purposes. I liny mentions
that in his day divers used to throw
oil to lossen tho roughness of tho sea,
in order that they might moro readily
discern objects at tho bottom.
i be position ot seals is readily known
by the traces of oil which tbey throw
up wbon locding on oil giving tishcs,
such as tho cod ; and tho courso tuken
by shoals ol herrings and pilchards can
also be easily obsorved by the oil let
freo, causing streaks of smooth water
in tho midst ol tho otherwiso turbulent
element From the samo reason, tho
sea never breaks round tbo body of a
aeaa ot norponncd whale, and its track

Nowport Harbor, United Slates, tho
sea was always smooth when thero
were any whaling vcsjels at anchor In
it, through tho wasto of blubber and
oil Irom them. When tho bilgo-water
from oil latlen ships in tho Ceylon trade
is pumped overboard, tho roughness
caused by a gale subsides immediately :
and, knowing this somo intelligent
mastors, especially whon near tba (.ape
of Good Hopo, always resort to tho
pumps ol such ships previous to enter

ning a gale, oil is sometimes thrown
from vobbcIs in tho Newfoundland and
fjabrador trado lo keep the sea from
broaking ovor them. Tbey can run
much lonircr with this assistants than
without it, and tho oil spreads to wind
ward as fust as to leeward. It is to be
hoped that more general attention may
be iriven to this important subject: and
as it is one which deeply concerns tbo
interests ot tho mercantile marina, it
seems most desirable that somo public
body should get together all the sun.

RICE AND HAMPTON.
Govornor Rico, of Massachusetts, has
put himself and his honored Common
wealth in a luiso position ny his in-
tempered correspondence with Govorn
or Hampton, of South Carolina, on the
question of tho rendition of Kimpton.
Mr, Hiram 11. Kimpton is a Hi re wed
adventurer wbo bad a smattering ol
Wall stroet operations when the car
pet-baggers camo to the surfaco in the
South ; and an old college acquaintance-
hip with Mr. Lambcrlain, then Attor
ney General and since Governor ol
South Carolina, enabled him to gel in
sido of the thieving camp and becomo
the fiscal agent ot the blato In Hew
lork, where the publio loans had to
be handled, the interest paid, etc. Tho
financial rocord ot Kimpton, as indis
putably exhibited by the Legislative
investigation and by the clearest evi
dence before grand juries, proves that
he became a common thiol in his pun
lio trust, and joined with the officials
of Son lb Carolina to swull the debt ol
the State many millions, muchot which
was wholly fraudulent and the main
proceeds ol wblcb where literally stol
en by Kimpton and bis confederates,
The frauds of Kimpton were brought
to the attention ol the courts or south
Carolina some months ago, and indict-
monta were lound against bim on evi

PRINCIPLES, NOT MEN.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1(1, 1878.
Governor Hampton did as ull other
Governors of other : States do under
liko eircumstancos ho issued a requi
sition for tho arrest bf and return ol
the fugitive from justice. Kimpton
fled to Canada and rotated along both
sides of the border until ho was finally
overhauled in Masnatliusetis, and ar
rested and held to await Governor
Hampton's requisition. Whon the
document reached Governor Rice, the
guilty fugitive, pleaded through his
counsel that he was a persecuted man ;
that he was not wanted in South Car
olina to servo tho ends ol justice; that
ho wsb pursuod to enforce the repay
ment ot stolen money, and that politi
cal vongcunco was the animating pur
pose of tho South Carolina government
in seeking bis rendition. To all this
special pleading that was contradicted
by tho official record on which his re
turn was claimed, Governor Rice gave
hoed, and be disgraced himself, bis
laws and his Commonwealth by decid
ing to discredit tbo solemn judicial re
cords of a sinter Stato and to assume
that a notorious thief uust not he giv
en up because the ofllcnls who cull for
him happen to be of a different politi
cal faith.
Governor Hampton very naturally
repliod to Governor Rico's qxtraordi
nary loiter of rcfusul, decidedly assor
ting tho integrity of tho records of his
Sluto and criticizing with dignity but
earnestness tbo grave blundor into
which Governor Rico bad fallen. To
this reply Governor Rico has finally
answered in just tho inconsiderate pas
sion that confesses his wrong in every
line, however bis words may scorn to
seek bis vindication, and ho concludes
by a mcasuroof discourtesy that would
disgruco a Ben Butler Governor, when
ho declares his purpose to treat Gov
ernor Hampton s letter with such con
tempt as to deny it a place among the
records of his ofilco. Tho wholo of
Governor Rico's letter is unworthy of
his high office and it will bring the
blusb of shame to every decent citizen
of Massuchusulls. On the slump or in
a conclave of ward politicians, he might
assail South Carolina and her authori
ty ; but when a demand is made on bim
by tho recognir.cd and respected gov
ernments a sister Commonwealth, for
tho execution of the iawoul Maonachu
Botts, tho bombast of the partisan grates
harshly upon tho cars ol tho lovers ol
ustice ol every political beliel. llaa
thoro been any plauBiblo excuse for the
refusal ol Governor Rico to surrender
Kimpton, ho would have answeiod
with dignity and convinced tho world
that be was fuithful to but trust ; but
when bo placed his own discretion
above tbo law, above the claims of
justico, and abovo the vital public
sentiment that domands the punisb-
mont ol public thieves, bo could not
command respect lor himself and, of
necessity, sought to ning disrespect up
on those who honostly and justly chal
lenged bis fidelity to the luw and to
tho comity that obtains belwocn the
Slates of tho Union. Ho did not ques
tion the technical correctness of tho
judicial record that claimed the rendi

had boon found upon testimony that

tions nro honored by Massachusetts,
and tho requisition itself was in due
form of law. Had thoro been any do
fect in tbo rocord, or had the offense
charged been one that Massachusetts
did not recognize as making a detend
ant a fugitive from justice within tho
meaning ot her laws, it would navo
boon tho duty of Govurnor Rice to ro-
fuso the warrant; but wbon tho crimo
was ot tho gravcBt character: when
the record was clear of all technical
defeat, and the norson claimed had been
regularly indicted in tho courts, tho re
fusal of Governor Rico to honor tho re
quisition of Governor Hampton was a
most flagrant violation ot his sworn
duty, an insult to a sister Common
wealth, and a disgracciul perversion oi
tbo law to Bhield a notorious criminal.
If Governor Riee interprets tbo laws
of bis State as they aro to bo Inter

can make an appeal to the political
prejudices of tbo hxocutivo. Had any
other Slato than Massachusetts been
guilty of this indecent exhibition ot
partisan passion and disregard of law
it would bavo attracted less attention ;
but when tho most respected ol Com
monweullhs degrades her authority to
tho basest of criminals, it is high timo

WORD TO DEMOCRATIC
OREKXHACKEHS.
This is no timo for political export
monts, in wandering olf aflcr strange
gods, by Democrat who hnvo kept
the fultb and madu the good fight in
tho long years that tho Republican
party has managed to control the gov
ernment, first by lanatioism, then by
forco, and lastly by fraud. Judge
Tburmun, ii a spoeeb ho mado at Lon
don. Ohio, recently, said :
Evorywhoro 1 nave noon in mo
Slate 1 have lound tho parly solid as
ono man. No party was over so well
conditioned. If we lose this olection
it will be becauso wo have not done
our duty lo tho cause wo love, becauso
wo liko oaso bettor than wo uo our
party. Lot ovory Democrat do his
duty at the next diction, and wo are
certain ol victory.
After the 4th ol March next tnoro
ill bo a Democratic Sentto in the
United States.
What a strango chango my friends.
Whon I entered iho Sonato there were
but seven Democrats therein. Aftor
the 4lh ol March next wo will have a
majority ol six. The Democratic
Uouso has been the means of accomp
lishing somo grand results. It was
tbo means of restoring silver coinage
to circulation ; it was the cause of put
ting a stop to military Interlerence
lb the elections oi tno aiaios.
These thinirs would have never been
accomplished bad they been left to
the Kepublicans. II a JJemocratic
House has dono so much what may
we expect when we have both branches
ol Congress.
This being the case, my friends, 1
believe that every one of you who bo-
liovos In Democratic principles evory
one who believes that the Republican
policy is not a wise policy, believes
there should be i change in our ad
ministration. I appeal to you to see
that vou elect a solid Democrat lor
this Congressional district this fall. Of
what avail are your in mocralic princi
ples if they are not carried into effect.
Uo yon ever reneci mat your imiu
ence In rcncral government is con fin
ed to one day in two years? It Is on
ly one day in this time that you have
a light to deoiuo wnat man you win
have to make vour laws. When vou
put in your ballot, II on that paper is
REPUBLMI
inscribed the namo of a Republican,
how can you say that you havo sought
to carry Democratic principles into ef
fect? Faith is shown by works. Tho man
wbo sincerely believes in tho princi
ples of the Democraiio party will see
that ho votes for the man who will
carry thoso principles into effect.
1 heso words will answer as well lor
Pennsylvania as for Ohio. Let Dem
ocrats, who aro impatient at tho slow
results that follow their adhorenco to
Democratic principles and support of
tbo Democrut.io organisation, look at
what wo bavo achieved in nino years ;
in lKOU tho Democrats in tbo I lil
ted States Senate, numbered but eight
Senators, while in tho House of Rep
resentatives we bad but seventy-one
llepresentatives. There was moro than
a two-thirds Radical majority in botb
branches, and thafparty In Congress
was supremo us tho law making power.
The l'residcnt's veto, as Andrew John
son found out, was a useless preroga
tive. This was the Congress that
passed tho act nullifying the contract
with the bondholders, and making tho
bondB payablo in gold or silver coin ;
by another act ol repudiation alter
wurds changed by this sumo Republi
can parly, in demonetizing silver, to
gold coin.
Jiut look at tho results brought
about by fuithful adhorenco to the Dem
ocratic parly and our constant appeals
lo the patriotism and good sense of tho
pcoplo. We have had control of tbo
llouso ot JCeprosentatives sinco Do-
comber, 1875; the Sonato is tie, and
after tbo 4lh of March next, will bo
Democratic by a majority of not less
than ten and possibly lourteon. Tho
law-making power ol tho nation will
be under the control of the Democraiio
parly in ' fivo months. Heretofore,
having only one houso ot Congress,
our power on legislation was but ot a
negative character. After tho fourth
of March next it will be positive and
controlling. Then tho Democracy will
be responsible lor the laws that are
mado, for the first timo in nearly twen
ty years.
In lHb'J, tho only htotes the Demo
crats controlled, as indicated by the
elections of Governor, wore Connecti

Wo don t beliovo a word oi mis.
Ever sinco Andrew II. Dill bas been
in Dublic life ho has been a consistent
and straightforward Democrat, and no
act or vole ol bis bis can be instanced
manifesting an iota of sympathy with
tho proscriptivo tenets of tho Know
Nothinir orcanization. On tho con
trary, whenever and whorcver thero
has been occasion, ho bas boon lound

Still wo bavo no doubt the Cameron
managers bavo got up affidavits thut
Dill was a Know Nothing twenty-four
years ago, when bo was a boy of IK,
and a luw Btudeut in another Stale.
Wo have hcord such affidavits wore in
preparation, and that tho scoundrels
wbo been dickering for the Mollio Ma
uuirn vote und acting as the go bo-
twoens in tho matter of tho pardon ot
convicted felons wore tho activo agent
in their preparation. Those creatures
would get up affidavits on anything
and evory thing for aconsidoration. l'er-
lury is their bread and Di.ttcr.
It is a surpriso, howover, that they
have captured tho Catholic Standard, of
Philadelphia, and are ablo to spread
throughout tho Slato over tho indorse
ment of Archbishop Wood tbo fruits
of their crime and knavory. Tho
Standard, in an article insiduously in
troduciiiB tho fulsehood on Mr. Dill
slanders tho Democratic party by such
a statement as this :

political parties and factions in tho

of the Know Nothing Order. Aa the
cullant Henry A. W ise said, In wininn
up his brilliant campaign in Virginia,
" Wo bare met the black Knight with
his vizor down, and we vanquished

The Standard" arliclo Illustrates ono
thing. It Is surprised and horrified to
find a leading Democrat who.il claims,
was a Know Nothinir. Il would be
equally surprised, we judge, to find
Cameron Republican wbo was not a
Know Nolhing. That shows the status
ol the two parties, as well as columns
ot argument The llepunntan party
is the legitimate sitcrossnr of the Know
Nothing party. Tho Democratic party
is the sume parly today that il was
in 1854 55 whon it grappled and over
came tho Know Nothings in decisive
conflict The Standard, in a grim
travesty of tho facts, seeks to exalt the
party ot intolerance and fanaticism at
tho expense of tho party which from
the days of Jefferson, however it may
havo wandorcd in other respects, havo
novcr deviated ono hair's breadth Irom
its devotion to tho principles of civil
and religious toleration and liberty.
Wo advise Arcbisbop Wood to with
draw his certificate of endorsement ot
tho Standard, or at least to sco to it
that ho is not mado responsible for the
utterance of a writer ignorant of the
political history of tho country twenty
years ago.
A LOOKERON IN VENICE.
Gencrul Davis, editor of tho Doyles-
town Democrat, and who was one of
our Commissioners to tho Paris Expo
sition, alter an absence of five months
in Europo, bas returned to his post.
He traversed the Continent of Europo
whilo abroad, and, being a close ob
server, he "took that country in"
pretty well. In alluding generally to
the character and social habits of tho
peopio, ho says :
No American in his right mind can
go to Europo and travel to any extent,
without returning with an increased
attachment to bis own country. The
contrast between lil'o in Europe and
America is so murked that no one can
appreciate it unless ho sees both phases
of it. There, everything runs in ruts,
ouch groovo being sanctioned by tho
traditions of many generations; and it
is almost as hard to get out of tho rut
as for a leopard to chango bis spols.
Here, our lif'o is young and fresh, and
new, and no man's energies or aspira
tions aro bodged in. In this country,
a man stands on bis own bottom, nnd
rises becauso be has merit ; but in Eu
rope, il a man gets out of tho narrow
circlo to which bo is born, except in
very exceptional cases, il is by family
influence or other outside aid. There,
tho prejudice of class is so strong that
often tbo most brilliant genius is not
permitted to rise. In America, poor
men und young men havo a better
chance to succeed than ill any other
part ol tbo world, and our countrymen
do not reulizo what a blessed country
they livo in and what a great inheri
tance) is theirs. If they fully appre
ciated theso things wo believe there
would bo less discontent than is tro-
ucntly manifested. America is tho
'arudise of woman, for it is tho only
part of the world where shu is treated
with the respect due bcr. On the
Continent of Europo, she rcully bas no
status ; in most parts she is a drudge,
and nowhere seems to havo any rights
which man is bound to respoct.

.A BASE SLANDER.
AN EI1ITOB IMPOSED UPON IS IT SOME
MORE OP PEI.ANKY S WORK r
Thero is published in PhiludVlpbia a
journal styled Iho Catholic Standard, in
Iho ibsuo boloro mo last oi wnica ap
pears an editorial articlo assailing tho
Democratic candidate lor Governor, on
tho ground that ho was a member ol
tho Know Nothing order, delivered
Know Nothing speeches and assisted
in organizing Know Nothing Lodges.
Tbo articlo also attacks tho Democratic
party for failing to confer nominations
and office upon members of tho Catho
ho church. Koioiing to tins urucio,
tho llarrisburg Patriot says :
As to the chargo mane by tho .Vithd-
ard against Sonator Dill, iri? have the
authoritu of that qentletnnn for tauing
that it is thoroughly and utterly falnc. In
answer lo inquiries mado ol bim by the
editor of this paper respecting tho
chnrgo thai ho bad been a member of
tho Know Motbingordcr and had mono
Know Nothing spoeches, Senator Dill
replied in tho most explicit and positive
language that tbo allegation is falso.
Tho Standard soys;- " What wo havo
based not on con)ocluro, but on cer
tain knowledge. We know wbereol
wo speak, and havo proot of every
word wo havo written." Nevertheless
il withholds tho proot. It conceals
tho source of knowledge. It carefully
avoids all montion of the character ol
the evidence on which it bases its
charge. Why this singular reticence
n regard to tho nature ol me iiiiorma-
lion it claims to have r w ny mis
scrupulous concealment of tho " proof"
it boasts is in us posfession i n it
lair to Senator Dill, or to his party, to
mako this chargo and send ilout in an
extra edition ol a hundred thousand
copies without accompanying it with
an iota ol evidence ?
Tho Patriot charges that tho Stand
ard' authority for its statoment is the
notorious Delanev. that and " pertnn it
too itell knovn in ihi State to beeapatle of
tettifying or producing teitimony to the
iniury of anu Democratic candidal. He

in 1854 and disappeared in 1855. In
Ibub tho slavery question overshad
owed all others, and tbo strugglo was
between tho Democratic party and the
nascent Republican organization. Now
Andrew II. Dill was born in 18.16. Ho
was 18 years, old when Know Nothing
Lodges Wjcro being established, and be
was 1!) when Know Nothingism was
absorbed by tho nosly organized Re
publican party. Tho case thorcforo is
too plain for argument. If Senator
Dill mado any political speech in 18:t
or 1857 it was upon tho issues of tho
timo, and Know Nothingism was not
then ono of them.
In answer to tbo allegation of the
Standard that tho Democraiio party
docs not confer nominations and offices
upon tho members of its church, let it
bo said that the Democratic party docs
not inquire to what religious soct candi
dates for its nominations adhore, or
whether they belong to any. It nomi
nates candidates because of tboir sup.
posed fitness of the transaction of secu
lar rather than spiritual affairs. Never
theless it has been tbo difficult, but
righteous, provinco of that political
organization to do battle single-handed
and alono in defonce of tho rights of
conscience. It the editor of the Stand
ards not wholly ignorant of tbo history
of bis own church ho must know that
it was protected from Know Nothing
intolerance only by the gallant sland
taken in its detunce by tbe Democratic
party. Nor was that stand tuken by
the Democrats becauso it was the
Catholic church that w as attacked, but
becauso the great principle of demo
cratic liberty, freedom ol Religions
Opinion, was assailed in tho attempt
lo deny Catholics tbo right to worship
God in their own way. Had not tho
L'emocrntic party been tho constant
defender of tho equal religious and
political rights of all, there would bo
bo such paper as tho Catholic Standard
published to-day, nor would tbo pub
lishers ot that paper, or tho miserable
rcnegado who Itirnisbcd them tho pre
tended " proof" of Senator Dill's Know
Nothingism, be clothed with those
rights ol'cilizcnship which cnablo them
to meddle in politics for llio purpose ol
stubbing in the dark tho political organi
zation that bas defended and protected
them.
In conclusion wo call upon the
Standard to publish tho " proof" on
which it pretends ,lo base ils charge,
and hopo that tho Democraiio Sluto
Committoo will at onco take steps to
unmasK mo conspiracy which has cul
minated in this toul but futile assault
upon the integrity of Senator Dill's
political character. In honor and in
justice, tho editor of tho Standard can
not and will not dao to deny senator
Diil and his friends tho fullest oppor
tunity to refute tho slander ho has
uttered against him.
NO POSSIBLE REASON.
There is no possiblo reason why any
Democrato in this country should at
this crisis desert his party to join the

firm lnend ot laboring men, ana nas
under tho most adverse circumstances
upheld their claims and maintained
their just righU. The Domocratic
candidato for Govornor, Andrew H.
Dill, during his long term of sorvicoin
our Slato Legislature and Senate al
ways gave bis voico and vote lor an
measures tending to relievo tho con
dition of laboring men. Mr. Dill earn
estly advocated the bill providing for
the better ventilation of tho mines in
our Stnto whereby tho greater com
fort and safety ol thoso who toil in
thoso mines should besocured. Whilst,
therefore, Mr. Samuel R. Mason, the
Grccnbnck-Labor candidalo for Gov
ernor, was ongagod in earning his fees
as a corporation attorney, and Gonoral
Henry M. Hoyt, tho Radical candi
dato, was acting as a Republican par

An exchungo vory appropriately ob

in our State affairs tho Democratic

COMPOSITION WRITINU.
Kveiyono appreciates the slightest
effort of tho pupil in this direction.
Don't neglect il in your school. Begin
with words and havo your pupils prac
tice SENTENCE liuituiNO. Alter they
have acquired somo knowledge of sen
tences and phrases, instruct them on
punctuation, stylo ana the proper uso
of capitals. Huvo them prepare com

of lessons. Require Ibciu to use the

your classes as will awaken enthusi
asm. Encourago original thought by
giving your pupils soiuolhing to think

phy, sketches of prominent authors,
etc., suggestive topics for class recrea
tion, stir up tlio spirit ot emulation
in your classes by "trapping" or choos
ing sides.
LITERARY EXERCISES.

of s.'lect readings, recitations and es
says. In advanced schools, a lilornry
papor, debate, and answering ot refer-
red questions sliouid form a part ol tho

From the Sohuol Lawa.
PROPER USE OF SCHOOL HOI HE8.
Numerous complaints have como to
mo from citizens becauso Boards ot
Directors refuso to allow tho school
houses to bo used lor petty shows and
trivial meetings of dissenters from tho
loyal faith oi somo clan. I am pleas
ed to learn that Directors havo suffi
cient firmness to refuso tlio uso of tho
school houso in such cases. In fact it
should bo a meeting of superior excel
lence ono intended lor puuiio gooa
that should guin the consent of Direc
tors. In School Laws, Pago 54, Sec
tion 108, is found tholollowing: "School
house are to be used for tJiool purpose
only, and Directors may refuso them
lor any other, iney aro not, puonc
nronertv in tho senso that gives citi
zens a right to nso thorn for any but
school purposes without tbo consent of
Directors, ibov should not pormn
them to bo used for any other, unless
in cases wboro tho purpose is inno
cent or promolivo of the gonoral causo
of education and Iho improvement of
youth."
CORRECTION.
A slight mistake occurred in the
second and tho twelfth Institute Dis
tricts in this column last week. Tho
socond is composed of Woodward, Ma
dera Independent and lloutzdale bor
ough, and the twolllh of Brady and
Union instead ol ltrady ana Jlloom,
Burnsido borough should have been
mentioned in connection with Iho four
teenth district.
Mason's Weakness. Tho Philadel
phia correspondent of tho Now York
Times, thinks that there is no possi
bility ol Mr. Mason, the candidate of
the National Labor Greenback Party,
in Pennsylvania, being eloctcd or even
receiving any very considerable voto.
Mr. Mason is not by any means tbe
strongest man who could have been
placed in opposition to the old purtiosr
ho is very much dislikod by tho labor
ing portion of tho Nationals with
whom ho bas no sympathy. His
chances for obtaining votes are daily
weakening, and consequently thoso
who will support him will only throw
away thoir votes.
Scholars are frequently to be me
with who are ignorant of nothing say
Ing their own ignorance.
