The Things our People Find Time to Talk Abest from Day to Day. Wo had tho pleasure of meeting the coming Superintendent of Carbon county schools last Saturday. The gentleman In question is agreeable and affable and Is un questionably one of the best educated men In the counly4 wc are speaking of Prof. J. L. PolUlger, principal of the H'catherly public schools. Mr. Pottclgcr has had twelve years experience in public school work which eminently qualifies hlui for the Important position to which the directors of Carbon county schools will certainly call him. It has been rumored on our streets during the week that a citizen of Welssport Is looking for a pUco to locate a foundry. We would call the attention of our Board of Trade to this fact and request them to move In the matter. By exonerating the ilerah Steam Heating Company from the payment of taxes for ten ycars.our borough council lias established a precedent which we hope will not be without Its good re sults. All progressive and liberal minded citizens commend the action of our bor ough officials in thus exonerating from the payment of taxes any Industry that may locate here. To the gentleman at Weiss port we say, Locate here!

It Is now alleged that tax collectors eicctcu at tue recent elections have no authority to collect taxes. The act of June 23th, 18S5, providing that "the qualified electors in each borough and township In this commonwealth shall on the 3d Tuesday of February, each year hereafter, elect an officer to bo styled collector of taxes, whose term of office commence on the first Mon day of April next after his election;" and regulating the collection of taxes In the several boroughs and townships of the State, has been recently decided by Judge Livingstone, of Lancaster county, to be unconstitutional as being within tho inblbl tlou of article III, section 7, and article IS, section , of the constitution prohibiting local legislation on the subject of taxation etc. If this decision should be sustained by the Supreme court then the election this spring of tax collectors is invalid am! they would be without authority to collect taxes. Four ban of Tulip for 25c Ask your groOr for Tulip Koapr The County Superintendence. Mr. Editoiu The more I contemplate this subject the more the conviction forces itself upon my mind that this ofllco should be filled by tho ablest man available for the position. It should be filled oy a man in whoso Intellectual training the teachers can place confidence, and whose ability Inspires them with respect aud reverence. These qualities count for naught, If they arenotcomnleinented by judgment, reason and common sense. Among the pupils in our public schools are the future representatives of every pro fession, and possibly future ccnerals, governors and presidents. The directors, who hare been elected by the people lo elect a man to superintend their school, havo a great responsibility. When they lew tflo results .which attach to their choice, personal friendship, political favor and every other consideration of this nature, sink Into Insignificance. They are to elect a man to superintend the schools In which are teacher, who train minds to take their places, and at no very distant day, as free men and free women In society, whoso life Is liberty and whose soul Is In telligence. To the teachers Is committed a trust such as monarchs never held, to educate minds for Intelligent, co operation In the maintenance of national self-government, for bearing responsibility In n 'nation where the people constitute the legitimate sovereignty; where mind Is the basis of tmlion.il strength, and it proper training the basis of national dignity and honor. Their office Is to develop within their pupils the sentiments of sclf-dlgnlty and self-respcct,whlch will fit them for the occu pancy of their future spheres of responsl bllity and duty. If such arc the duties and responsibilities of the teachers, shpuld they not look for extraordinary qualities In 0 county superintendent? Lot then, Intelli gence and self command, discrimination and justice, equanimity and prudence, in short, let mind, cultivated, enlightened, liberal, be possossod by llie man for whom you cast your TOtjs for county auperlnten dent, How many of the candidates for this position possess these qualifications? The boards of directors should call for the can didacy of such men as Prof. J. L. Pottelgcr, of Weatlierly, er Mr. Horace Hcydt, of Lchlghlon, and show by such action thai they appreciate talent as against conceit and assumption. It would bo well for the directors to con sult the teachers, who know the wants ol the schools, before they cast their ballots for a county superintendent. Tn.YCiinn. Anthracite Coal Trade. The situation of the anthracite coal trade Is unchanged. Locally, says the Philadel phia Led'jcr, the coal trado Is dull, except ing for the manufacturing sizes, which the market continues toabsorb almost as quick ly as the coal Is forwarded from tho mines. The accumulated stock of anthracite coal at Port Richmond continues to increase, and on Saturday the reading company had 122,500 tons of all sizes there. Shipments of coal to thu cast haye slackened, and, In consequence, vessel freights are softer. At Newlork the trade In anthracite Is re ported to bo actlvo In all Its branches and prices are well maintained. As the open ing of thft spring business approaches deal ers aro looking for some announcement of a reduction in both the prices for coal and tolls. With the various Indications of a prosperous season, some of the larger an thracite mining and transporting compan ies are reported to be opposed to making any reduction, the'j arguing that the ex isting prices are already low enough. On the other, hand, one or two corporations who are noted for their practical economy In mining and preparing coal aro said to favor some concessions, contending that It has been the custom of the anthracite traije almost from the beginning to inako the spring prices for coal and tolls lower than the winter figures as an Inducement to larg'e consumers and dealers to lay In their next fall and winter stocks of coal in the spring. An informal meeting of the anthracite coal managers is reported to haye been held at New York last week, when tho question of spring prices was discussed, but as yet no public announcement of the result has been nude. For the month 6f February there was no allotment of percentages of production made and the mining and ship ping of anthracite was done upon a go-as-you-please basis, and, while It Is generally understood that 2,700,000 tons were agreed upon as tho quota for March, it Is likely that mining will bo continued upon some what the same basis until April 1st, if cars can be had to forward the coal to tide. After April 1st, unless some new arrange ments for the regulation of tho anthracite output are made, there will be no restric tion upon the production of coal unless the transporting companies should .licmselves regulate it by their inability to furnish cars. rhus far this year, compared with the cor- lespondlng period of 1BS0, the Reading Company's shipments show an Increase of 100,000 tons, tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad a decrease of 104,000 tons; the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company and the Pennsylvania and New 1 ork Canal and Railroad have Increased 51,000 tons each, whllo tho Central Rail road of New Jersey shows a loss of 60,000 tons. The Trick Exposed. The fly-blister trick has been played for some time past In many of the adjoining counties, with varying degrees of success, They go about, generally striking symna tlietlc persons, exhibiting their "frightfully burned limbs," caused, as ttiey represent, by natural gas explosions. Two of the lm- posters were arrested last week In New Castle and a physician on examining the burns" found they were self-inflicted. Further investigation proved that these fel lows had purchased "lly-bllstcr" and put It on their arms and legs to carry out their story of a natural gas explosion. Increased Wages. A committee of brakemen on the Lehigh and Susquehanna division of the Central Itailroad of New Jersey recently waited on Superintendent Olhusen aud asked him for an advance In wages. They were told that on and after April 12, when the new sched ule will go Into effect, ths wazes of the brakemen on the Lehigh and Susquehanna division would be the same as those on the main line $2.10 per day for coal and $2.3 for freight. The present wages of the brakemen on the division mentioned are $1.70 for coal and $1.85 for freight.

The gentleman was full of his subject, and felt that he could talk an hour or iwo, but time did not permit. He said, that we llie In linage of progress and reform ; about one-fifth of tho people of this Republic over ten years old are Illiterate, One of the chief causes of this Ignorance Is the Intrinsic Irregularity of the English language. An Ideal language should have a single sign for each elementary sound, and only one. It would be Impossible to adopt so radical a change t once, therefore, there should ho a transition period. The afternoon session opened by singing "D11 l.ind Lund." I'rof. Kemp spoke for half an hour on tho ''Itecltatlon." He gave as one of tho necessary concomitants the scciirlnsot attention. We should cultivate the attention of the child by bright objects; objects of Interest, novelty; lead It to the understanding of (he object or subject ; leading It to a mastery of the subject, and to pre sent topics In a ni.isteily way. Miss Ella eager, of Weatlierly, then read a paper 011 the "Qualifications of u Teacher." The lady piva some excellent thoughts upop her Mib- Ject, such 11s tha power to see the latent forces of the mind ; to eonipi eheud the influences that sur round tlpi child and discover Its needs; to have good health, a pteusimt countenance, u pleasant voice and a vtt'll-ciiltured mind, and hist, but not lonst, a love for the children, for Justice and inor- nay. (5. W. llemmlngcr followed with an essay on "School Punishments." Tho gentleman read In a clear, ringing voice, and commanded tho tit lentlonof thu audience from first to last. In tho course of Ids subject he stated that school pun idnnentslnvtc three objects In view; reforma tion of the offender, naming to those who ate in danger of becoming offenders, and tho manefes tatlon of discipline upon the pait ot the teacher. .The teacher can not he too careful hi the admin istration of discipline; the rule governing him should be the rule of common sense. J. J. lievau, principal of the Mauch Chunk schools, discussed the subject of "Arithmetic." In order to secure skill and accuracy there must be a thorough mastery of the arithmetical pro cess; special attention paid to difficult problems; short lessons with the connection preserved; xroniliiK and awakening Intel est; regular and systematic reviews, and cultivation of self-rell- inee. -I'rof.

Ho said that this branch ot our com mon schools was not receiving Its proper share of attention, and made several practical suggestions upon tho method of securing belter results in this s(udy.
