Along die coast, to ward the South, lie vast stretches of barren sand wastes. At wide inter vals small green oases of date palm are seen from some of which gleam the needle shaped minarets of mosques. That veracious traveller Sir John Mandeville relates in his "Booke of Voyages and Travaile" that when he visited this country in 1356 he fou ml -it inhabited by parties who "hadde ownlie won foote bnt that off such exceeding gratenesse tlfat in varry sooth they were enabled to -employ itt for a parasol !" As I enjoyed little acquaintance with the locality at that period I will not at tempt to refute the statement, but content m self with observing that although .the number of the Moorish pedal extremities has doubled, its size has undergone but little diminu tion. Directly ahead of us lie the straits of Gibraltar the place as the intelli gent Hibernian observed, where 'You rope and Afriky are connected by watlier." To tire North of us lie the olive and vine-clad hills of Andalusia, pre senting in their fertility anil verdant beauty a cheerful contrast to their sterile and rugged neighbors across fhe straits. That 'point jutting far out into the Atlantic is Trafalgar, a name so intimately associated in the school boy's mind with- history class and declamation day as to be disagreeably suggestive of thrashings. It is probably connected in the French mind with recollect ious of a like. mature. It was iieretliat "England- expected every tnan lo do his duty;" and that mutilated hero Lord Nelson promptly proceeded to per form his by keeling over into the arms of Victory, Tradition has it that here a French officer, being cor nered by a sturdy Caledonian with an awe-inspiring cutlass, fell on his knees exclaiming "Quarter, quarterl" to which the excited Scot replied, "I hae na time to quarter ye, sae ye mou een i ' i I., i. .j:i : . oe comeiHll to ue uumi in iwa, which he accordingly did. Iu fact the whole region fairly bristles with his torical associations. If old ocean were gifted with the power of speech what thrilling tales he' could tell of the stirring scenes which have beenen acled within his domains, but he never mentions a word about it and keeps on making love to the golden sands of Andalusia, in gentle murmurs, and repelling in hoarse anger the advances of the Moorish boulders. (Continued next week.) The "cut off" lately accomplished by the Mississippi river in Louisiana was made in very short order, short ening the length of the rivert waive miles. The water began to take its new and directer course in the evening of May 8, and developed itself into a regular river channel the evening of May 9, on which date there was an abundance of water for any steamer that has ever plowed the waters of the great Mississippi. The channel is from 1100 to 1300 feet wide, from 75 to 120 feet deep and 3054 feet in length. It is regular steamboat route. now the DANVILLE, VA. LEAP TOBACCO. the United States. Pace Bros. & Co. PROPBS. How To Teach Geography. We visited a geography class a few days ago, in which we noticed a new method of conducting reviews. The plan is so good that we desire to submit it to our readers, hoping that they will test its value. The class had completed the geogra phy of Europe. Two members were appointed by the teacher to set out on a travelling expedition, in which they were to visit all the large cities they could reach in ships or large steam-boats. Two others were to visit the cities that could not be reached except by rail. Two were to take a tour over the coun try, visiting the principal mountains, ascertaining their height, and for what they were noted. Two others were to visit the principal islands. If any two, who set out on the same expedition, failed to agree as to the route they take, they were at liberty to separate and go in different directions. They were to tell the size of the places visited, what kind of people lived there, what their occupation was, how they dressed and how they worshipped. The class was much interested in these reports, and all seemed to realize (a thing rarely done by a geography class) that there actually were such places as they were talking about, and that real people lived there. We heard these pupils, a few days after, conver sing among themselves of the places they had visited, much as they would had they actually made the trip. We mentally resolved to try this plan at the first opportunity, and advise you, fellow teacher, to do the same. Ex. If we were asked who is to be "the coming man" in the tutorial profession, we would answer unhesitatingly, ki;he man who recognizes and acts upon the fact, that in order to be a teacher, he must devote some portion of his time to learning how to teach." The old idea that a man is a full fledged teacher as soon as he has acquired a certain a mount of book knowledge is going out of fashion. Those whose business it is to look ifter the interests of the schools in the county, are beginning to show an interest in their work. When a body of men, snch as that which met at the Court House on the 24tlTof May,assem bles and earnestly discusses the subject of education: it means something. It means progress. Not that we are to reject all former ideas about teaching and substitute "new f angled ideas" in their stead, but that we mean to profit by the past, retaining much that is good in the old system, and making such improvements as experience suggests as practicable. That there is room for improvements, none will deny. In every other department of science, improve ments are continually being made. Shall the same science of education be denied the same privilege? The teacher who thinks so well find him- salf slowly, it may be, but none the less surely, gravitating towards the lower ranks of the profession. The Southern Presbyterian Gener al Assembly adjourned on Saturday night, May 24th. The following is the most important matters : "The question of marriage with a deceased wife's sister was referred fin ally to the Presbyteries for their ad vice and consent. The mode of amending the Confession of Faith and Catechism was decided on. The ques tion of powers of elders to act ai Mod erator of Church Courts was referred to the next Assembly. A committee was appointed to prepare and sand down to churches a pastoral letter on the duty and neglect of family wor ship. The. cause of education receiv ed much attention, and in considera tion of the increasing number of can didates fur the ministry the churches were urged to increase their contribu tions so as to meet all the require ments for the expense of education. At a late hour on Saturday night, after disposing of all the bnaines on the docket and passing the customary vote of thanks, the Assembly waa closed with devotional exercises. The Moderator, in accordance with the form prescribed, declared the General Assembly of 1884 dissolved, and ordered that another Assembly be con vened in the city of Houston, Tex as, on the thiii Thursday of Mav, J885." How to Conduct Recitations. A valuable feature of a recitation. says a writer in the Studenfjs a discussion on the subject of the lesson. Whether this is between the members of the class or between the class and its teach er, it is to be encouraged. How inter esting it is in the midst of a bare state ment of memorized facts, to see the eyes brighten at the suggestion of some per tinent question! How the sleepy minds suddenly awake to thought, in solving a newproblem, or evolving a new idea How a class becomes full of bright ness when an honest difference of opin ion elicits a lively debate on some topic relating to the subject in hand! A skill ful teacher can readily provoke and control such a debate, when you can get a child to ask intelligent questions, or express original ideas, no matter how crude, you have brought that child into a very desirable frame of mind for the reception of truth, and for the ex pansion of its powers. We suggest this as a practical rule: Never go be fore a class without having prepared at least one question not in the text-book, bnt closely related to what is there, which will awaken interested thought in the minds of the children. Ex. The policy of the Democrats is to utilize every dollar possible in pay ing the three per cent bonds now out standing. By this means we not only atop interest and save an expense to the people, but also hasten the day when the inevitable crisis will be reached forcing a reduction of taxa tion. There are now only $230,000-, 000 of these three per cent bouds un paid, and the Democratic House should make every exertion to pay them off at once. Because of this the Dingley bill should be passed at this session. This bill provides that about $40,000,000 of greenbacks now lock ed up in the treasury shall be inves ted in these bonds. If this be done and $40,000,000 of bouds be retired there will remain outstanding but $190,000,000. The existing surplus continuing, there will be retired within the next twelve months $100,000,000 more, and by that time wc assume the sit aution will be so critical that no pub lic man will dare to trifle with the prombleiu further, and all opposition to tax reduction will cease. What the Democratic party desires to accom plish will then commend itself to the judgment cf all classes and our meas ure will be successful. The people will be relieved of the unnecessary burdens they now bear and the ceun try will be more prosperous. News tfr Observer. Boarzan Cash's Second Victim. James Coward, who was shot and fatally wounded by VV. B. Cash, on February 23 last, died last evening at about 9 o'clock. From the mo ment his physicians examined the wound they had net the slightest hopes of his recovery, but he held out to the last, though all the while ex pressing his willingness to submit to the inevitable. He has borne his sufferings with remarkable fortitude, although conscious that his short life, (he was only 25) would soon be at an end. He will be sadly missed from among the ranks of his numerous friends, by whom he was justly re garded as a genial, clever companion. A Bee's Feet. Naturalists say that the feet of the common working bee exhibit the combination of a basket, a brush and a pair of pincers. The brush, the hairs of which are arrang ed in symmetrical rows, are only to be seen with the microscope. With this brush of fairy delicacy the bee brushes its velvet robe, to remove the pollen dust with which it becomes loaded while rifling the flowers and sucking up their nectar. Another article, hollowed up like a spoon, re ceives all the gleanings which the in sect carries to the hive. It is a panier for provisions. Finally, by opening them, one upon another, by means of a hinge, these two pieces become a pair of pincers, which render impor tant services in the construction of the combs. London Aquarium Burned. The Fast London aquarium at Bishop's Gate, was burned this morning. Of the collection of wild animals, some were safely removed, others it was necessary to shoot, and some were burned. Among the latter were lions, bears, jaekals and monkeys. Two Russian bears, however, were rescued. The roarin&r of the burning beasts 0 was something terrible. The collec tion of curiosities of Mar wood, the potorious hangman, was consumed, ine MeliKKhsts in their General Conference in Philadelphia ask for me Uttvernment to promote public j . .... eaucauon Dy a tree distribution of moneys in the Treasury. The mon eys were not raised and placed in the fT a iieasury tor any such purpose. It is an abuse of power and a perversion of iunds to use them. But the North em Methodists are only acquainted with Hamiltonian ideas of a strong government. Possibly they aever heard of local self government or the rights reserved to the States under the Constitution. But if they show a disregard of the Fundamental Law of the Union, they have some respect for the Divine law and, therefore, voted against licensing women to preach the bosiiel by a majority of two to one. Put that down to their csedit. M7. Star. The Phixce op Wales Boued. The Pri nee of Wales has not so much gone to Royat for his health as to avoid being condoled with on the death of his lamented brother. Be has been surfeited with conventional mourning in Germany, because, as one of Prince Consort's sons, he is a Duke of Saxony. He could not tra verse a village or stop an instant at a railway station without being pounc ed upon by -.veil-meaning functiona ries of the locality and obliged to lis ten to a dull essay on the shortness of life and the irreparable loss the royal family has sustained. At Darmstadt every lady wore a long face. At Berlin the lugubrious cere mony observed by nearly every one who approached him became intoler able. The Prince was thankful to find himself, after all this simulated woe, iu a republican city, where not a creature thought of presenting him with an address. The Maryland Democracy. Baltimore, June 5. The Democratic State Convention to elect sixteen del- gates to the National Convention and eight Presidential electors, met at 12:30 to-day at Ford's Opera House, and was called to order by Hon. A. P. Gorman, chairman of State Cen tral Committee. There was a very full attendance, every legislative dis trict iu the State being represented. A series of resolutions were adopt ed in favor of reform, denounciug the fraud of 1876, and incidentally fa voring the nomination of Tilden and Hendricks as standard bearers in the next campaign, was received with great applause. Delegates at large were o hose n to the National Conven- .a a . .V tiou. who tliousli not instructed are understood to be for the old ticket. An exchange says that a portable oil mill has been invented that will prove very useful. Farmers can ex- a press the oil from the cotton seed without hauling them away from the plantations. This will save much labor and valuable refuse for fertiliz ing purposes that otherwise would be lost. WU. Star. Montpelicr, June 4. The Demo cratic State convention for the selec tion of Presidential electors and dele gates at large to Chicago, and State officers, assembled to-day with 500 delegates nresent. The mention of o s Tilden's name bv Chairman McGet- trick, of St. Albans, was received with thunders of applause.

The fallen money kings of New York live in houses remarkable for their magnificence and luxury. A. S. Hatch rssides in a granite castle at Tarrytown. This edifice was built in imitation of a castle described in one of Walter Scott's novels. George I Seney'a palacs in Brooklyn outshines many establishments of the proudest European nobles. General Grant still occupies the four story brown stone front on Sixth street. John C Eno has a brownstone mansion ou Park aveu m Russell Sa?e lives in a rather MW - O modest house on Fifth avenue. Nel eon Robineon, D. D. Hatch, A. W. Dimock, O. M. Bogart, Robert Don noll and Leonidas Lawson all have fine establishments, and it will take millions to keep them up in proper tyle. It may be that tome of these dethroned money kings will find it necessary to move into more humble quarters. If they do sot there will be many inquiries of "why not?" The Republic of France baa asked for 60,000 square feet of the vain building at New Orleans World's Exposition, and 60,000 square htt in the Machinery Hall. Viscount Paul D'AUeac, Commissioner General to the exposition from Francs, says the exhibit from that country will be the finest ever made. SAVE YOUR FRUIT ! Scares Fruit Preservative !
