A recent writer in the Forum deoltres that no odo, unless ho bo a teacher of youth, should preseibo, unasked, an other's reading. Bees use I am the teacher of your children and nave made a stady of children's literature for a number of years, will jou allow me to make a few suggestions on the subjoot? Many men who are setmlj engaged in business hoye not time to carefully in vestigate this matter. For this res son, I trust I may be permitted to call your attention to it, without even the ap peararoe cf a desire on my pert to al ia de; in the remotest manner, to any offiir of yours or of your children which does not beor directly upon their intel lectual life. AU children should bare access to books that are healthy intone and suited to their capacity. If such books are supplied, you need hare little fear of the pernicious literature with whioh the oomntry is now flooded, No ohild ought to be allowed to choc se its own books The did rule that one -should select his books as he selects his friends, only after an introduction by some responsible porty, is a good rule for children to follow, at least until the habit of reading good books becomes irmly fixed. Some people, anxious that their chil dren should eorly learn to love tho books of the greatest authors, place Maoaulay and Gibbon and Thackeray and Shakespeare into the hands of young ehildrea who oannot .appreciate such literature. As a result, children be oome disheartened in the attempt to road what they oannot understand, and harm, rather than good, is the result The main oljeot in selecting books should be to get such books as children will read and enjoy and learn to love. It should be the constant aim of parents and teachers to seo that children ao qaire, early in life, the reading habit which, if once fixed, will never be eradicated. On the other hand, some parent seem to hate an idea that pupils ouglt not to read books while tbey are at tending school, but should devote their whole time to their school work, and not attempt to read bocks until after school days are over. I think that this: u a dangerous doctrine, for in all prob ability if children do not acquire a lote Of reading early in lift, they will never learn to love books. When people arc grown, it u too late to look for the formation of a habit whioh micht easilV have boon formed ia childhood. The reading of books need not and ought not to interfere with the ehild'o regular work at heme in the preparation of les-i. sons for school. There is time for both and ample time, betides, for recreation. If only one-half aa hour a day be de voted to tho reacuc of tcoks. a revela tion would occur in the lives of k ant children. ' i Again there are seme who think that they ought not to rpend monev for Other books fur their children than the regular school text-bocks. Althoufb the latter are indispensable. 1 do not hesitate to say that you need never ex pect your ehudren to become educated men and women by the use of school text-books alone. I do not believe that any teacher will gainsay this A course of reading, wisely selected, should be followed as suj plemesury to the regular lessons or tne senool. For the views whioh 1 have f mreesed on mis surjeot i alone am responsible Jfclieving with Dr. G.

He said that he did so for the purpose of giving the Senator from Iowa (Mr WUscn) an opportunity of making some remarks upon the bill,, after whioh (in accordance with tie suggestion of many Senators on both sides as to the imprac ticability of the action on it before the holidays) he would let the bill go over until after the holidays.

At the conclu sion of Mr. WilEtn's remarks Mr. Cam den ir quired frcm Mr. Cullom as to his intentions in regard to the mansgmest cf the bill. He said that he regarded it as a wise and conservative measure; that the country demanded the passage cf seme such bill, and that it was the duty of Congress to act upon it. A large portion of the time of the session after the holidays would be taken up by the appropriation bill, and unless this hill was acted upon promptly and in the early part of the session it was liable hit to be acted upon at all, and would fail for want of time. Mr. Cullom replied that his own pref er en oe would be to proceed with the consideration of the bill after the holi days. He appreciated the fact that tho bill might be easily allowed to fail for want of time, but so far as he was concerned it should not, for he had the tower to prevent it. He would ask the Senate to resume its consideration immediately upon reassembling after the recess, a he Dill then went over, and the bill to establish agricultural experi ment station in connection with the sg ricultural colleges was taken up as un finished business, and it was arranged that it should retain its place on the calendar.'

Some of our eitissns went on the search for Miss Turlington yesterday and re turned laat night. They report in sub stance what appeared in the Nxws Ann Obsbrvxk this morning. It is certain that Bingham passed through Morris- ville with the young lady in his buggy and that about a mile this side of Mor ris vilie, where hands were working the road, he was traveling alone. Tho bands say he turned out of the road and crossed the until stream where they were working on the bridge below. It is said he seemed excited. Today the oountry between the two points men- iioneo wiu ne tnorougniy searenea. Bingham while hero, waiting for the evening train, went to a store and in quired for cartridges Colt's No. 38 The merchant asked if he had a pistol, to whioh question no response was given. The merchant not having the cartridges Bingham walked out of the store. TTo Blaa.aana.TarllBa;toa Affair. Nothing has been learned up to this time of tho whereabouts of the proba bly tuurtk-rrd young lady, Miss Tur lington. 1 he strictest search and in quiries have been made along the road taken by Bingham when he left the city. and the facts so far learned dearly in dicate that he parted with Miss Turling ton within one and a half miles north west of Morrisville. They were seen together in the buggy going through that town about 12 0 clock in the day, and about 2 o'clock Bingham was soeu driving alone along the road to Durham one and a naif mues from Morrisville, by a party of men who were repairing a small bridge over a ditch running across the road. This makes it appear that two hours had been ooraumed in driving one and a half miles. Between these two points a party of fourteen men with Mr. Jno. G. B .Grimes, steward of the institution and Chief Police Heartt, of this cityhave for the past thirty-six hours been making a thorough search for a distauoe of one mile from the road on each aide Various buggy tracks and tracks of in dividuals have been discovered in out- of-way places, but nothing was distinct for a long enough distarco to be of aid m a discovery of any kind. Last night a special messenger of tho Niws ah On- bbxvxb came in from the vicinity it which the searh ia being prosecuted. and reported that preparations were being made to draw the water from Well behind an uninhabited house near the road. Mr. M rimes gave it as his cpinion that the dead bodx of Miss Turlington would bo found therein, and it is really a plao well fitted for sueh a deed of violence as is supposed to nave taxen place. Tne following is a brief description of the locality: Between the town and the bridge there are, leading from the main road. throe by-ways over whioh vehicles are accustomed to pass, all of whioh if fol lowed for the distance of a mile lead to secluded and gloomy spots. Two of them lead from tho left and one frcm the right Of tho road. Near the points whioh two of these paths lead there are inhab ited residences. There is aa uninhabit ed houses aear where tho other path leads from the road, not farther off than one hundred yards. Behind this house, and probably twenty yards distant from it, is a well about seventy feet deep in whioh there is usually from sixteen to twenty feet of water. The well is a verv old one and was never used for drinking purposes. This was the ob ject for which it waa dug, but a free flow Of water waa never secured and it was afterwards used as a cistern for holding water for stock, etc , when the dwelling was inhabited. This locality is familiarly known in tho vicinity as the "Taj lor Place." Having been unin habited for years, there is a thick growth of shrubbery and weeds in the grove around the house which gives the place an isolated appearance. This spot ia about one Half a mile from the nearest habitation and is not in view of any, and at the latest reports the search ing party were exploring the old wsll Chief 'police heart sent a message to Mayor Dodd yesterday, saying that if V. aaa a no discovery snouid oe maae curing last night, that more help would be ao oeptable today. Two brothers of Miss Turlington arrived in theoity yeeterdiy and dined at the institution, after which one of them went to the hardware store of Messrs. T. H Briggs & Co. and pur chased ropes and hooks for the purpose of dragging streams, sounding wells, &o. , and left for the scene of the rearch. The Star says: "One of Miss Turling ton's brothers left Wilmington for Charlotte to endeavor to overtake the supposed murderer, and will probably go on to New York in search of him." A gentleman who lives near Durham was in this city yesterday, and said that last Friday evening he was in Dur ham' when Bingham reaohed that place and saw him go into a hardware store, buy cartridges and load3 a pistol. This circumstance was not noticed at the time, but sine the development of other facts becomes significant. A letter from Mrs. Bingham yester day to a gentleman in this oity states, that Walter Bingham has for the put month been somewhat depressed, seam od to be in a very melancholy state(that he would sit all day and look into the fire and could ' not be aroused to take any interest in anything. She Would try to get him interested in reading, but failed in every effort. Last Thursday he roused up and told her that he waa going to Durham. She thought he was going there to make arrangements for the sale of some tobaoco and was glad to see him taking an interest ia some thing. she states that he had been suffering for seme time past with a malignant ease of catarrh which had gone so far as to dis figure his nose. He told her about a week ago he felt like the catarrh had eaten a hole up into hia brain, and he would go orasy or it would kill him. There is scarcely any doubt as to the insanity of Bingham at present and the sympathy of tho people of the State generally be felt for the famtly of the young man. It wu stated yesterday that a detective left the train bound for Raleigh ; at Brasefield vesterdav. This point is simply a railroad siding eight miles frcm Drrhim.
