What private or public school pays' any special attention to it ? Select any schoolboy or gtrl li.t'.vt'-n twelve and sixteen and ask them read a a few j ,ir i graphs from Webster,,, or-. (ioM.-mith, or Washington' Irving, and you will be dis- u-ted at their lack - of articu-, latinn and tone and emphasis and feeling. Then try the col lege graduates on Hood's "Song ot the Shirt," or- Goldsmith's Hermit, or Sterne's Uncle Toby. Then ask a preacher t read you a chapter where God answers Job out tof the whirlwind. It j? 1 shame so few can read well or spell well or write well. How many youutr men write "a neat legible hand with a dis patch." .Look at the letters that come home from the col le'e girls, they are written iu a coarse unwomanly" affected hand, and you can't, tell a dif ference between an 11 or n or a. or r. In tart it is almost im possible for a common man - to read them at all. Brct it is the style. The practical value of good spelling, good' expressibn and good writing is wortli' more to a young man "eekmg busi ness than he is aware of. His first letter to a business house is either a credential pr it is a hack set that blights his pros pects at the start. The .prac tical value of good reading to a lawyer or a preacher is just im mense. If they read well they will be sure to speak well. We have heard lawyers read au thorities to the judge or the jury, and they made no ira- pri-.-skn and tired everybody;. Most everybody, is deficient in their articulation of words. 1 he singers in our church choirs are m indiiierent , to this, that nobody can tell what hymn they iire to living unless the word- are beforethem. He have been grading our public schools.- and examining teachers, and selecting text hooks according to the modern system. I know very well that we 1.

This-is the, system, bnt, thanks to our natural condition, our children can't iro tlironvh witli it ami 'b ii t do it. Nut' one parwit in a hundred (iir; afford it. ami ?., the system is co-itinu- al'y ' hrol;eti and' the 'average boy or cirl does rot get- more than Imir vt-Hi'j altii THlir xuA that is takt-it i-i lirokf-n r1,ip - average boy has no such ambi tion or expectation. Here are one hundred and fifty boys in our publicischools and not ten per cent, of thorn will ever see a eol'ege. They have got to go to work and earn a living, and if th- had the good edu cation that Edward Kverett defines they have pretty good tools to work with. Free tui tion don't amount to much. It will take free board and free clothes and free books to make the present system a success. No, that will not' do it. That noble-hearted man, Cincinnaius Peeples, took a liking, 'lor a poor boy who was hauling wood to town and told him he would send him to school for a year and pay for his schooling. The boy said : "I havn't got any clothes that are fitten." "I will g'et you some clothes and buy you some books," said Peeples. "But dady can't spare me,", said , the-' boy. "He cuts the wood and I haul it." "Well, 1 will hire another Boy to drive the steers," said Peeples ; and he did it, and that boy is now a nobleman. What the count ry people want is good common schools within easy reach of their children. A competent teacher ought to be provided for about thirty children, aud a woman is better than a man for this businiss. They are more gentle and kind and have a higher grade of morality. 1 heard a good mother 'from , a neighboring town say : "I am sending my children to a Christian lady, and I ; can. see the good effects of her moral training every day. My chil dren love and respiect her. She has a motherly care Gver their morals and manners. She teaches truth and virtue and honeaty; and kiud&ess as well as books." The teachers in the public schools have no thri? to do this. That system is all machinery, and th teachers have all they can do to keep up with it. I . . 4 ' - Under the 61d system it was an important consideration whether the teacher had a gift for teaching atid a liJsing for the Let there be a normal school to educate femaie teachers to teach. The country wants hundreds of them. There ought to be one for every five mile3 square of the copulated territory, lnatroutd require thirty for the country, and cost about ten thousand dollars. Tax the people to pay it. It would be paid more willingly than a tax for courts and juries and jails. Dr. Boggs says that nearly all the great men of the nation come from the country. Then let us cultivate and pro tect it. I Henry Grady says that the "cities and towns of Georgia have grown sixty mil lions richer and the country fifty millions poorer since the war. Cities and towns are on a j craza after money, aiid they are getting it, and so let us lax the rich to educate the poor. Maybe that will help restore the equi librium maybe it will. Biil Arp.

And then the books the beautiful books was there ever an age in which the chil dren had so many attractive school books. It makes us wish that we were children agaiu What would we have given for such readers and geographies and histories ? How we would have feasted upon the beauti pictures ! I verily believe thtt the average boy or girl could, with these foooks, and a. little help from father or mother, get a good education at home ; 'and there is really no Use for a school or a teacher except as a persuader, lhac is all. VI believe that" two or three young girls could get to gether by night out doors,under the starry heavens, and learn for themselves everything that is iu Mrs. . Bowen's astronomy. It is a splendid work and we are poud of her, as a. Georgia woman, aud proud of Professor Derry .and Professor Sanford and Miss Fields, all from Geor gia, and whose books are grow ing into popularity. Of course we'prefer Southern books to Northern, especially the his tories. -It is just impossible for a Northern man to write a fair, impartial history of the late war, or 61 the causes that led to it. The ignorance of some of these histo rians is amazing. Here is a school 'book before me which has oh one page the six greatest federal leaders of the late war. . Among th,e latler are Buchanan and Mitchell as our chief naval officers. Where he got hold of Mitchell nobo3y knows. He does not mention them nor Moffett in his book, and mentions Admiral Semmes only once, and that very slight ingly in a foot-note. He seems to have been entirely ignorant of the fact that- SaJimes de stroyed over fifteen millions of their property, aud that it took Uncle Sam about twenty years to bulldoze the damages out of Knglapd for selling the "Alabama," to him. But we feel encouraged with the bright prospect of soon re moving the name of our illit eracy. Dr. 'Boggs had dona the vState great pervice in arous ing our people to the impor tance" of education, and Dr. Candler and Dr. Nunnally are cooperating .nobly. They may differ in plans, but not in the great purpose. We feel sure that our law. makers will do all they can to act prudent ly. Let the "tools" be placed in the hands of all our children, and then let those climb higher How many of our readers know that Horace Greeley was married in this State ? G. R. Reynolds, in N. Y. Press tells the story of his courtship and marriage as follows : I spent the summer of 1833 in New York at the old Graham boarding house on Broadway. Mr. Greely also boarded there. About that same time Miss Mary Y. Cheney came with her mother from Conneticut to that boarding house, and remained there for some weeks. I form ed an acquaintance with them soon after, and they were quite sociable with me. I was 17 and Mr. Greley was 22. He had also noticed Miss Cheney, and I soon perceived that he liked to hear me talk about her aud her accomplishments. He asked me to introduce him to her. I obtained her permission and did so. And' I saw that this introduction during that sum mer ripened from day to day into what seemed to their friends quite an intimate and presumably a tender acquaint ance Mr. Greeley was then strug gling for a foothold in New Yojk, March 22, 1834, and in the summer of 1836 he deemed himself worth $5,000, and the master of a business which would yield him for his labor at least 1,000 per annum. And so he thought he could prudent ly take to himself a wife ac cording to his love and fancy, which had been fixed upon the young Conneticut girl he first met in 1833. It w"as as true a love match on both sides ever ever took place in this work a day world. Miss Cheney had been for some time engaged as a teacher in the Ladies Seminary at Warrenton, N. C, where, after more than three year's person al acquaintance and epistolary correspondence, they were married July 5, 1830, in the Immanuel Church at that plce, as he always said he would be, by the Episcopal form. He was dressed plainly bjit well in a suit of broadcloth, and, "on this occasion only," in a pair of silk stockings, with out which, he once told me, no geutlernan should ewer be married. Taylors, N. C. ' Mr, Editor. Seeing in the columns of your paper that you aretrying to stir up an interest in cattle eyeing by havieg a cattle show of this county at Rocky Mount fair this fall, I thought I would give your readers a few facts about cattle, their importance, the different grades or breeds, their relative value, the best general purpo-w cow, how to grade up a herd, in a neighborhood, Arc. 1 ore by this to aid you iu your laudable purpose of getting each farmer in the county to take a spiecia interest in his cattle, and by the way. Mr. Editor, when we come to look at this matter of cattle raisiHg I am surprised that until a few years ago there was, so little interest taken in improving the stock. In Adam's day Jubal is spot en of as being "the father of such as have cattle." Job, two thousand years before Christ, had one thousand yokes of oxen. Eighteen hundred years be fore the Christian era Hornet wrote of the noble bullocks, with golden knobs on the tips of their horirs, and describes the manner of 1 fastening them on. The pagan goddess, Juno, is called ox-eyed. Jereinial speaks of a "fair heifer" and Virgil, about the time of the Christian era, wrote of the beautiful cattle and of tlieir value in husbandry-. So you see from the very .earliest Untes, man has been, associated villi cattle, and the ox was us V do work before the horse ver was. Don't it ieem strange that there ar6 not more full blooded cattle iu the country than tlkere is, sinco men have boen associ ated with them during so many thousand years and knew Uilr very great value from the firit? For the last fifty years ffiere has been more accomplished in breeding than in all time be fore, and this breading is now carried on with a great deal of system and we are to-day und-r many obligations to a great many breeders for the perfec tion to which they have brought the many breeds. All we have now to do is to select a male Jrom some one of the many excellent breeds and cross this male with our common cows. Now, before speaking of the different breeds, we will speaK 01 ine value or a cow on the farm. Some will say, "I have no usa for a cow, as my,- seii nor any or my iamiiy use milk or butter." I know of su-h families. Now, really, ii looks use this iamiiy non t need a cow, but let's see about it. I ask, don't you and your family like beef? "Yes, all bands like it," is the answer. It will pay to keep a cow just for the beef, it will, and does pay hnndreds of smart fanner? to keep a cow for the milk to raise hogs on and thuai have meat. It is undoubtedly one of the finest feeds for young chickens and i.f ax roRK ma ittxr. ) Tlie'Auiericaa Agrieulturali.-t is authority fq.r the statement and argues as follows : The 1 cheapent foods make the best I pork. The reason is, it In Hie leanest. Lean pork then being the best, we should try to make it. Confinement in pens tends to increase the fat. . Exercise develops the muscles. The muscular part it the best food. The fat is largely waste. We make fat to throw it away People buy hams, nt for the fat, but for the lean. When the fat is wasted it makes the lean cost just so much more. Reduce the fat and increase the lean. Can this be done ? Certainly. In this way : Keep the pigs all their lives in the pasture Feed sKim-milk and bran. Keep corn away from them. Give them vegetables apples with the bran. When u.-a bodies or frame3 are grown, give them oat meal or rye, ground eutire, mixed with bran, putting in twice as much bran -as rye. lfoep up the vegetable and apple diet and allow them dur ing this time to eat all the grass they will. A little corn may be fed towards the end. Pork made in this way will have more lean, and will be tender and juicy. At Kirby Homestead, with our breed of hogs, and m using turnips, we have pioduced hams seveuty- flve per cent. lean. The fat is something more than mere lard animal oil. It is meat, with the substance and grain of meat. To get such pork is worth trying for, as it i- in de mand. The sausage and the other food products made from such pig meat are superior in quality and taste. There is a tenderness and flavor which en hances the valut. Pigs should not be fd so milch or gorged to uch an extent that they will ot go out to pasture. OLD, BUT GOOD. Tfl ; ; li A K EM A S A .VJ t'HCRCU FOLKS.

Let the farmers look out for their big leaks. They have stopped the epiggot, now let them stop the bunghole." It they so will it they can do it. The grass is here to feed all the stock we need.

There is in the country a negro prize-fighter by the name of Jackson who is a quicA srad a hard hitter. Kilrain de feated him not long ago. A match between him and Sulli van has been spoken of since the mill in Mississippi last week, but the talented Mr. Sulli van declines upon the ground that "any man as enters the ring with a nigger lowers ms- self." This assertion of superi ority on the part of Mr. Sulli van is the severest blow the negro race has ever received it is worse than one of his left handers.
