Prof. IIotrbkiM on the ltten4 of
Teaching- Cograpli J". "
Correspondence of The Observer:
Chapel Hill, June 24, Maj. notch
kiss lectured this morning on the mode
and manner of teaching geography, in
substance as follows: Text books are
rather more a disadvantage to scholars
than an advantage. As. the word text
indicates, they are only intended to as
sign a text or subject for study and re
search, and the duty then devolves up
on the student to trace this text out,
expose it in all its lights, and to show
its various relations. Most teachers
adhere too closely to text books, think
ing that they constitute the study of
geography. Far from it. They are on
ly preliminajy to it, being merely a skel
eton or synopsis of the system of that
study. Tor one to be thoroughly pro
ficient in the text books is generally
considered complimentary to his know
ledge of the study itself. But it is not
more so than for one to familiarize him
self with the table of contents of a large
book, and then say he is an expert on
that subject, so far as the book treats,
whereas he should see the different re
lations of these points, and their appli
cation, use, &c. I studied " latitude
and longitude" for five yearsras taught
by the text books, and the result was
that I had a false and confused idea of
the whole, really knowing nothing
about it, and almost placing my mind
in such a fix that I never would know.
But the subject should suggest the
ideas to the students. Never know any
thing about it; make the students tell
you themselves. A good motto for - a
school house is to have written over the
door, in bold relief, V (the interrogation
mark), thus showings that the pupils
really are to learn themselves and as
an application of the purpose itself. In
all ceases when a student informs you
on the question you intended him to
learn, thank him, thereby encouraging
iind pleasing him.
A good way to learn the position, re
lation, situation, connection, distance,
direction, etc, of different places, is to
institute a system of map drawing.
Make each of the pupils draw a map of
a section of country, with which he is
familiar. For instance, take the school
house as a centre, and draw the geogra
phy of the country for three miles
square around it Use a span of the
hand as a measurement of a mile. In
nb case allow a ruler to be used. Make
the pupil draw his lines accurately by
the eye. The eye was intended for this.
The hand is the proper instrument to
use, and not the ruler. After a short
training he will use his hand much
more accurately, readily, and swiftly,
than a ruler. The Bible does not say
" teach up a child in the way he should
go." &c but u train " him up. The eye
is nature's guide, and the hand nature's
instrument, and who says art surpasses
nature ? Then, after he has drawn his
three miles in every direction, placing
the school house in the centre, have
him first trace out direction his route
homewards, toward the mill, or river,
or postoffice, and whatever objects of
any note may lie in this enclosed square
of three miles. Then let him draw the
directions of the various watercourses
in this section, using different colored
chalk or pencils for the different things.
This done, request (induce or persuade,
not make, as this creates an aversion to
it)-him to locate the different undula
tions of the surface, as hills, &c. Let
him draw the different sections of tim
heredLUnd.. :This done, he will doubt
jlessjiave observed the formation and
oortitatiorji at; the mountain, whether
any-ore lied embedded there or not,
what kinds of rocks are visible, &c;
?and-thueontihue until he shall have
.become familiar with every place in
ithat three miles, and he will be able to
I draw a map of that neighborhood, far
1 excelling -any map of the world, either
continent, or any country ever drawn,
in authenticity, correctness and precis
j ion; fit not in fulness: because he is
I drawing! a small section with which he
Sis perfectly familiar, and not like the
map artists in general, drawing a coun
try from the most authentic informa-
tion that he can obtain. As he advan
i ces in the study he will learn to draw
the more diflicult parts. And so, after
; a careful training, he will be quite an
;' expert, and will have, not a theoretical,
but a practical knowledge of geogra
phy, which he can apply at any time
i and at any place. Do not allow him to
use letters aftd . words, as it were, writ
ing the names of the objects on the
- map.. That is a confusion and., encum
brance.ill very often take one
much longtSsaBnd the name, than the
object itself. So traiahim that heTwill
be familiar with the location, and know
where an obiect ought to be, thus ne
cessitating the name. Such a system is
the best to impart instruction in geog
raphy to pupils, especially to children,
as thev t$aturally take up, ad grasp
any . things of this order more readily
thai otherwise. This system will also
produce-' a, desire to learn the thing.
Thepwili. spend, all their spare time in
exploring this section, thud familiariz-,
yig themselves and making themselv.es
competent. This exercise in so doing
will in turn produce physical health,
t,he most important point to be gained,
ai the old adage, nysns saua in corpore
zo, still has all its importance and
weight attached. This desire and prac
tice will culminate in, the. experienced
and excellent artist. The student wijl.
tyof be satisfied with this drawing alone,
but yiU run home with a happy face
and, a light step, and draw his home
and surroundings. This system of
drawing will be the source of the great
est good in other respects, making him
a. good penman, &c. The advantages
of this system cannot be overrated. In
liockingham county, Virginia, this sys
tem of application and practice is
taught in all branches. The county
contains twenty thousand inhabitants,
and there are one hundred and fifty
public schools, with an average atten
dance of 95 per cent. The improved
ment, it is useless to say, exceeds the
most flattering expectations. As a re
sult, the people are more universally
educated. In fact, it is a rarity to find
a totally illiterate man. The sooner
this practice is put in operation, the
better. Let the teachers of the various
branches throw aside their text-books,
render- themselves thoroughly compe
tent, and go to work, and a glorious
epoch is before us. Then North Caro
lina can resume her former stand in
the Union, for education promotes in
dustry in the various industrial pur
suits, intelligence, honesty happiness
and liberty. .
Mue men gave a lew. suggestions as
regards the building of. a school house.
It should be in a nrivate. healtirw vet
pleasant placev Windows should , be
placed above the heads of the scholars,
so the light can descend; as a descend
ing light is the only tit light for the stu
dent. It then does not Cast a glare and

She was thinking of a .hunter from

ing in the spring time came to buy her
daddy's arrows, and departing, smiled
upon ner, saying, - x ou re tuo squaw

hair was full of feathers of the goose,
the wawa, and the cock a-aoodiie-ao.

And the maiden leered up at him,
leered up from her seat of rushes,
scratched her head and spate to mm:
"Bully boy ! I'm glad to see you T

began young Hiawatha speaking to the

"That this peace may? last forever, and

and I'll give you sixteen

And the ancient arrow-maker spoke
up briskly, and made answer, "Heaven

Ana in less than sixty minutes by the

The Murderer Cox's Virginia Antece
dents Special dispatch to Baltimore Sun.
Richmond, Va., June 25. Chastine
Cox, the negro man arrested in Boston
for the murder of Mrs. Hull, in New
York, is quite well known here, where
his wife and mother are living, and
have lived for the past eight or ten
years. Cox was raised by Dr. Bryant,
of Powhatan county, came to this city
soon after the war, and was employed
as a waiter at the Spotswood Hotel un
til the burning of that house. He left
here about five years ago and went to
New York. He married a woman here
who was about twenty-five years his
senior, shortly after the burning of the
Spotswood Hotel. The marriage cere
mony was performed by Rev. John Jas
per, the colored minister who gained
such notoriety about eighteen months
ago in promulgation of his peculiar
views about the solar system. The wife
of the murderer joined lier, husband in
New York - shortly- aftefhis "arrival
there; but was by nimr repudiated and
the marriage denied." The woman re
turned here, procured the certificate of
marriage, went hack to New York and
had her husband- arrested for desertion.
In an interview with reporters to-day
Cox's wife expressed no regret I at his
arrest upon the grave charge, and re
marked that " the deyil was bound to
get his dues. " ' ; '
The murderer's mother is a lihrhlv re
spectable old woman, and is employed
as a servant in the family of Capt Jno.
S. Wise. When the arrest of her son
was announced to - her yesterday she
was utterly prostrated. She wrote him
a letter a few weeks ago, begging him
to return here and let her see him be
fore she dietk This is the letter found
on the person of the accused when ar
rested in Boston. .
Dr. Bryant, who raised Cox until he
was sixteen, says he was not at all sur
prised to hear of his arrest upon such a
grave charge, -as he had many times
uuu;u3u to 111s mouiex ina&riie would
be hanged. The mother bears a strik
ing resemblance to Cox, as described by
iue newspaper accounts.

Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HSADACHS.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
PUN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure ; sometimes the pain is in the left
side ; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side ; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it freetuently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness ; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy sen
sation in the back part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains , of weariness .
and debility ; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of , the
skin ; his spirits are low ; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would be
beneficial to him$ yet he can "carf ely
summon up fortitude enough td try it.
In fact, he distrusts' every remedy.

It is an excellent corrective of indigestion. H;ive
used it with prompt beneficial results.

I concur with Bishop Doggett in Ms estimate of
the Vest Pocket Cure.
Rsv. E. A. Yates, P. E. N. C. Conference.
It has benefitted me. Send another package.
Rev. Leroy M. Lee, D. D., Meth. Hlst'n.
I am never without it at home or abroad. It Is
an antidote to indigestion. Uneasiness after a
meal or purging is checked and the bowels regula
ted. Its merits are attested by numbers of high
character. I have seen a " tried-everythlng " dys
peptic of fifteen years relieved by one dose.
Rev. Drs. Jeter, Broaddus, Dickinson (Bap.)
It is endorsed by the direct personal testimony
of men of national fame and of strictness of
speech. It is not too much to say that no medicine
ever had such support in its favor as a specific.
The word of any one of the eminent divines wbo
underwrite this antidote to dyspepsia has deserved
weight. Their united witness joined with the ex
perimental use and approval of the preparation by
well-known physicians, removes all doubt. It Is,
beyond question, a wonderful therapeutical agent.
Editors Religious Herald, Va.
Rev. R. L. Dabney, LL. D.f Ham. Sid. Col., Va.
It is highly esteemed here by the regular Medi
cal Faculty and the people. It is excellent for In
digestion and flatulent colic sedative, soporific,
tonic, slightly aperient, without nausea.
