HE ANSWERS A HOWLING HYENA UP NORTH, Who Is Angry Because Arp Favors Pen sioning the Widows of Confederate Sol diersNew England's Hum Traffic. "Fret not thyself because of evil doers." The philosophic mind should always be calm and serene, though in these dog-days it is right hard to be composed when Sirius is exhaling his maglignant influences and the bad spirits are rilling the air and hatching discord among men. Paracleus says that the air is not so full of flies in August as it is with invisible devils. But I know some that are visible, and the Jewish Talmud says they did not descend from Eve, but that Adam had another wife called Lilis, and ol her nothing was born but devils, and they overrun the country until the flood. 'How they dodged the dehige the Talmud does not tell us, but I reckon some of them had boats of their own. Certain it is that the germ of malignity was not altogether de stroyed, and it has multiplied and replenished like bacteria, and has impregnated the souls of human kind to an alarming extent. The wicked plotteth against the just, And gnasheth upon him with his teeth. I was ruminating about this be cause I had just received a paper from Hutchinson, Kans., called the Interior Herald, which seems to be the maglignant Republican organ of that region, and its editor came straight down from Madam Lilis, I reckon, and is quite proud of his pedigree. One of my random letters about pensions was his text one of my mud, good-tempered, harmoniz ing letters that I thought would find a tender spot in the northern heart, for I was asking for pensions for our Confederate widows ; but it seems to have disturbed his tranquillity and he gnasheth upon us with his teeth and gives my letter great big double-column head lines, and then goes to using language upon us with malice aforethought, He is mad be cause we build monuments and dec orate graves and make speeches and put into requisition "rivers of oratory and clouds and waves and cyclones of eloquence to laud the cause and the rebels and Jeff Davis, a murder- lcg, thieving old rebel and traitor." His liver seems to be inflamed be cause some of the northern Repub licans are crying out "forget and for give." "Let byegones be byegones," and he says they are in line following alter Polk and Livingstone and Terrell, who once led the rebels, and that "if justice had been done, every mur dering rebel would have been hung." Good gracious ! what a sight of rope it would have taken. I ll bet this Herald man would have got up a corner on jute. Well, of course, all that sort of talk would be funny and iantastic it Hutchinson wasn't a right smart town ol 8,000 people, and this paper the leading paper in it. What an editor says nowadays is of but little consequence if it expressed his indi vidual opinion ; but as a general rule the editor does not lead the people he follows them and so it looks bad to see the sign of so much hate and venom still existing among our wes tern brethren. But certain it is that some of his subscribers have put oft the red shirt and put on a white one and sworn off from the party, and that is what is the matter. I thought that all these sentimental questions were settled, and that it was generally agreed that we might love and honor our dead and build monu ments and throw flowers and have re unions and hurrah for our side, con sidering that nothing but sentiment was left us. If a big boy whips a little boy he ought to be willing for the little fellow to cry some and shake his hst and threaten many a school boy has vowed to whip the teacher when he got to be a man. That is about all we are doing when we get 111 1 r f grown we 11 hck you. see 11 we don't. We'll do it anyhow if you'll walk outside the corporation. I'll bet the editor of The Herald never was in the war or he wouldn't talk so big about hanging us. I'll bet he imposed on the little boys at school and fudged when he played marbles He is in a perfect rage about that Confederate monument at Jackson, Miss. wish he would go down there and talk like he writes. He says that a northern man is not safe down South and "is in danger of assassina tion or open brutal murder unless he proclaims his love for the lost cause and its treason." That is the same old lie that has been denounced hundred times by northern Republi cans who live here, but it is no lie as far as the editor of The Herald is concerned. He wouldn't be safe. His old carcass wouldn't hold shucks by the time he got off the depot plat form our boys can stand slander and lies aiar off, but a man better not bring it to them.So let Mr.Herald stay at nome ana shinney on his side and. we will send some missionaries up there as soon as we can. We have no language fitten to use on him. He can 'consider himself called all the appropriate things that Falstaft called Prince Hal and Prince Hal called Falstaft. We've got to send missionaries up north or the devil will get more than his share of that people. Boston seems to be his headauarrers rioht now. Mr. Fields says in his last Evangelist that a ship has just sailed from Boston with a cargo of sixty thousand dollars' worth of rum for the negroes in Africa. He says the rum traffic between Boston and Afri ca from July 1889, to July 1890, was. uly 1892, was $1,223,886, which is nearly double the year before. He says tnat one 01 tne most lorcmie preachers in Boston asserted recently m his pulpit that the merchants en gaged in this business were New England men, and were members 01 Christian churches, and his assertion has not been contradicted. Mr. ields says : "This traffic is as dis graceful to humanity as is the slave trade, against which we are fond of protesting. It is carried on not by ignorant Arabs, but by cultured Bos tonians. How long shall the church go on spending money and invalua ble lives lor the Christianizing 01 Africa, and at the same time shutting its eyes to the demonizing of this country by the rum traffic ?" That is a conundrum that we can t answer, it has long since demon strated that New England cared nothing for the negro. Old England won t stop the traffic in opium with the Chinese. Neither will New Eng- and stop selling rum to the negro as ong as there is money in it. t lve hundred dollars a year to the church will hide many a barrel in the hold of vessel. Rev. Joe Cook denounced Henry Grady and his speech in Bos ton, because he told the truth about the negro, and Cook was cheered to the encore, and boasted that what he said would be published in over two thousand northern papers ana would be believed wherever read, and all of Mr. Grady's clap-trap would go for naught. That is the kind of reception that Rev. Cook gave Henry uraay s overture ior peace. And Rev. Theodore Cuyler says that K.ev. cook is a great ana good man and he has lately enjoyed his companionship immensely. And so I am done with Cook and Cuyler, too. I have no respect for a man who companions with a man who denounced Grady's Boston speech, and keeps on denouncing us for what we didn't do. Rev. Cuyler wouldn't have denounced it, but I'm afraid he would hire a man to do his cursing. I saw in your paper not long since communication signed H. M. D., that proposes to knock all the ro mance out of John Smith and Poca hontas. He seem to have been traveling up the James river with Colonel George, and Colonel George told him that an old farmer told him that his grandfather told him that his great grandmother told him that PnrohrtTihc roac nnt n f r n '1 m f hilt it was letehee, ana she was not a daughter of Powhatan ; that she fell in love with Homer Castalwain, a white man, and this made her Indian over Bankee mad, and one day while she was gathering corn he and his followers seized her and carried her away to his tribe. Castalwain appealed to Captain John Smith for aid to recover his girl "and Smith got old Powhatan to lend some of his warriors, and they made a raid and recaptured the maid and Bankee, too, and Powatan ordered Bankee to have his brains beaten out with a club, and just as the club was raised to strike the blow Tetehee threw herself in the way and saved his life not from love but from pity and she soon after married Homer Cas talwain, and this old farmer who tells the story is her last living decendant. Well, now it is all wrong to try to spoil the old time honored story a story made sacred by the traditions of our fathers, but fortunately it can not be done in this way, for we will still have preserved the colonial his tory of Virginia, written m 1624, and Captain Smith himself writes the storv of Pocahontas and calls her "King Powatan s dearest daughter, and tells how she laid her own head upon his saved him from death and how John Rolfe fell in love with her and married her, and she was after wards called Lady Rebecca. Cap tain John Smith then wrote a letter to Princess Queen Anne of Great Britian, begging that the marriage might be recognizedby her and ap proved Rolfe also wrote a letter to bir Thomas Dale in 1 615, giving his reasons for marrying an Indian, which letter I have before me, as taken from the colonial records. I do not suppose that there is any event of colonial history more carefully pre served and authenticated than this heroic act of Pocahonts, and I hope that our children's faith in it will not be destroyed by this uncertain nar rative of the living descendant of somebody named Tetehee. Let the old fanner die in his faith if he wants to. Bill Arp. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

Some Information as to Matters Educa tional in North Carolina The Course of Study Prescribed by the Authorities Every Parent and Teacher Should Read it. OFFICE OF SUPT. PUBLIC INSTRUCTION, , Raleigh N. C. Aug 10, 1891. The Constitution of North Caro lina requires the public schools to be kept open at least four months per annum. If the tax is not sufficient to do this, it should be supplemented in every neighborhood by private subscription. Surely the parents of every school can add enough to have a school at least four months. The following course of study is, intended to guide teachers not so much as to how much should be accomplished in this general system of public schools, but more especially to guide them as to the order in which the different books on our State list should be taken up. The course supposes that the child enters school at six years of age and attends regularly four months each year. If he has ordinary capacity and good teaching, and especially if he is encouraged to read and study at home during the long vacations at least enough to hold progress already made this course can be fairly well accomplish ed at laid down. Every teacher should strive earnest ly to have the pupils become interest ed in completing the steps each year, and to secure such co-operation by parents as will induce them to buy for their children not only the text-books as they are indicated by the course, but to get also them other entertaining books that will induce them to read. This reading will not only give them information which they ought to have, but it will give them a vocabulary and an ability to understand the language in which their text-books and other books are written, and so enable them the better to accomplish the course. If children do not advance as rapidly as they should, their parents may be as much at fault as the teacher. The age of the children will not always indicate what branches are to be taken. Some children will be found less advanced than others who are younger, and will have to take studies according to advancement rather than age. But still the course of study will indicate what branches ought ordinarily to be pursued at the same time as parallel studies. Other children will be found who are ad vanced proportionally more in one branch than in another, and the course will, .perhaps, not show what branches they ought to take as par allel studies. Under such conditions there is opportunity for the exercise of the common sense of the teacher, without which success is impossible. If the teachers will carefully note what is especially intended, they will the more easily be able to classify the pupils and advance them. 1 . An earnest effort is to be made to get the children to read under standingly at as early an age as possible. Hence the stress laid upon the use ofthe Readers and Harring ton's Speller in such thorough and systematic way as necessarily to give the children the meaning and use of the word. In the earlv stages of the course, this meaning is not be learned from definitions, but by actual use of the words in sentences 2. The four fundamental rules in arithmetic are to be thorougly learn ed before the pupils are allowed to pass beyond them. At first the children will not be able to read well enough to use an arithmetic, and so the teacher will have to devise means to teach them something about figures without the book in their hands. As a rule, perhaps Sanford's Primary Arithmetic may be placed in their hands when they begin the Third Reader. Of course, along with this practice in the four funda mental rules the puplis must have some practical examples. These can be made up by the teacher or be taken from the books. It is, per haps, needless to sav that black boards are indispensable. 3. Penmanship is to be incident ally taught at the very beginning of the course by the use of slate and pencil. Later it should be taught to all the pupils by the nse of pen and ink and copy-books. In what has been said so far attention to reading, writing and elementary arithmetic has been em phasized. The three R's are of first importance, and every teacher should give special attention to the instruc tion of smaller children in these fundamentals. It too often happens that the smaller children in our ungraded county schools are neglect ed. In the multiplicity ol the work which the teacher has to do, he rather inclines to bestow undue atten tion upon the more advanced pupils. They ought to be more able to help themselves than those less advanced. A determined effort ought to be made by all teachers to advance the smaller children, so that at as early a day as possiable they may be able to use the text-books intelligently and profitably. This accomplished the books on the different subjects should be put into their hands and lessons assigned. Bt regular times (not necessarily every day in each study,) these lessons should be "heard" and thoroughly explained and enlarged upon by the teacher. 4. Geography and history, in this course, occupy a prominent place once this. Certainly everyone should know what kind ol a world he lives in ; what ' kind of people have lived in it, and what kind live in it; what they have made out of it, and what tiey have done. One of the greatest mistakes some people make is to lay little stress upon these branches as studies to be pursued in the schools. Our law does not specially con template the use of text books in the natural sciences. All through the course, however ,from the very begin ning to the end, the teachers should give instruction about Nature all bjects which surround the children in such great numbers. While the tudy of geography is pursued there is excellent opportunity for this line of work. Teach the children to go through the world with their eyes open, seeing everything and enquir ing about everything. 5. As to English grammar, two mistake are made : (a). A disposition to neglect it, if not entirely to eliminate it from the school course : and (b). An effort to place books on technnical grammar in the hands of children before they can comprehend the language in which they are written. This course ot study indicates what is considered a proper place for this very important study. Per haps there is no branch that is more difficult to teach and that requires more effort on the part of the teacher. But surely it has a place in a course, the main object of which should be to give to every pupil the intelligent and fluent use of his own language the language in which he reads and conducts his ordinary business orally and by letter-writing. It is conceded that much can be done in this direc tion by language lessons, such as we have in our readers, spellers, and other books, but at the proper time the grammars must be studied. 5. Instruction is to be given to all children orally, or from lessons assigned them from text-books when far enough advanced to use them, relative to the preservation of health and the effects of alcoholic drinks and narcotics. The course indicates a plan for this instruction, and every teacher must give due attention to it. 7. The course is not laid down be yond 16 years of age. At that age the pupil is supposed to have gone over the branches usually studied in the com mon school course. If pupils desire to pursue other studies, such as usu ally belong to a high-school course, the committees have authority to ar range for them to be taught. They can charge tuition for such branches all not specially named in the Pub ic School Law. Our svstem is weak from lack of money, ana it is suggested mat at east enough tuition be charged to employ sufficient assistance to insure due attention to all pupils in the low er branches. 8. Last, but not least, - every teacher must set an example of good manners and good morals, and must continually seek to instruct all the children in this direction. We have no text-book on our State list on this subject of ethics, and no better book on morals has ever been written, or ever will be, than the Bible. This is Christian country, and the morality required by our law to be inculcated by all teachers in Christian morality without sectarianism. The teacher must lose sight of the fact that by example and by precept he is to build the characters of his pupils, and that example is much more effective than precept. j. COURSE OF STUDY. First Year. Suppose that the child enters school at six years of age, and has no knowledge of books McOurtey s rnmer, witn siate; writ ing words on slate; making figures; counting, etc. ("Note. The teacher in teaching reading should not con ?' ... fine himself to any one method. A combination of the different methods is best, especially of the word method and the alphabetic method. Begin with the word method, but as soon as possible have the child write m script the letters and words, ana spei orallv. using the names of the letters. When the child has ad vanced far enough he should be taught all the diacritical marks and the different powers of the letters, but there is danger of attempting too much of this in the first year of the course. Second Year. Holmes' First Reader; Harrington's Speller, first twelve pages; writing on slate; addi tion and subtraction of numbers to ten, with simple examples given by the teacher as time may allow. Third Year. Holmes' Second Reader; Harrington's Speller, from page 13 to page 26 ; addition and subtraction, not using numbers so large that the children cannot readily comprehend them. Fourth Year. Holmes Third Reader; Harrington s Speller, from page 27 to page so; Sanford's Pri mary Arithmetic; the mulnphcahon table perfectly learned. Fifth Year. Holmes fourth Reader; Harrington's Speller, from page 51 to 78; Sanford's Primary Arithmetic long division specially taught. Note. It is presumed that the teachers will spend six hours in actual work each dav. At least half of this time should be given to the course as laid down tor the first five years. If this is done the pupils will have opportunity to lay a good foun dation, and the work of the teacher in the course beyond the htth year will be not so much of hearing recita tions as of assigning lessons and see- able amount of time each day in dili gent study of each branch. The teacher should always be ready to help him over the rough places, and he should hear at least two or three recitations each week by each class. No teacher need fear results if he succeeds in enlisting earnest effort on the part of his pupils Sixth Year. Mrs. Spencer's First Steps in History; Sanford's Intermediate Arithmetic to multipli cation of fractions ; Maury's Elemen tary Geography to page 62 ; Harring ton's Speller, part second, first twenty pages. Note. It is to be presumed that during all the years that precede this year the teacher has taught oral ly the first principles of geography. At this stage in the course every pupil should have a dictionary and be taught how to use it, and during the whole of the remainder of the course the dictionary should be, freely consulted. Seventh Year. Maury's Ele mentary Geography, from page 62 tojend ; Harrington's Speller, second part, from page 21 to page 40; San ford's Intermediate Arithmetic, from multiplication of fractions to the end. Eighth Year. Holmes' U. S. History; Sanford's Common school Arithmetic to page 1 56 ; Harrington's Speller, second part, from page 41 to page 65. Note. In studying his tory some geography should always be at hand as reference book. Ninth Year. Sanford's Com mon school Arithmetic, from 156 to page 279 ; Harrington's Speller, sec ond part, from page 65 to page 88 Harvey's Elementary Grammar to False Syntax. Tenth Year. Harvey's Elemen tary Grammar completed ; Sanford's Common-school Arithmetic reviewed and completed ; Maury's Manual of Geography to British America Moore's N. C. History. EleventhYear. Harvey's-Eng hsh brammar, revised edition, to Syntax; Steele's Physiology and Hygiene; Manual of Geography, 1.1 T T 1 A compietea ; Higher Arithmetic or Algebra. "Good Health for Children" taught orally; two, lessons per week, to classes in Fourth Reader and to all children below Fourth Reader. Health Lessons for Beginners," until completed, in the hands of all pupils above Fourth Reader, two essons per week. Beside the writing that the pupils will do on the slates and with lead pencils, which should all the time be encouraged, the teacher should have systematic work in penmanship for the whole school at least twice a week. Every teacher will take note of the fact that this course is not intend t it ea to oe ngiaiy aanerea to, ana it is not considered absolutely necessary that every pupil thoroughly complete any step before he can take the next, and no child should be kept from advancing to a higher branch of study because others of his grade are not considered ready to go with him. It is often best to let pupils take a step that is somewhat too high rather than discourage them by keeping them back too long. While it is certain that a very large proportion of the children will not be able to go to school long enough to complete this course, it is believed that it is best to have something defi nite to work at certain books named and the order fixed in which they should be studied. It is hoped that very many children will be stimula ted to an effort to possess and study all the books out of the shool as well as during the session. Every teacher is earnestly request ed to leave on record in his register the branches pursued at the preced ing session by every pupil, so that his successor may have the desired information in organizing the school S. M. Finger, Supt Public Instruction Mirtie M. Tanner, Boonville, writes : "I had blood poison Ind. from birth knots on my limbs were as large as hen eggs. Doctor said I would be a cripple but B. B.

Exquisite Lines, Ennobling in Sentiment, Which Have Been Flttlnrlv Described "A Modern Classic Ciceronian in Language." Soon after the fajl of Gen. Albert Sidney Johnson at the battle of Shi loh and the transfer of his remains to New Orleans, a lady visiting the cemetery found pinned to a rough board that rested on the temporary tomb the following beautiful epitaph. It was written in a delicate hand with a pencil, and the rain had nearly ob literated the characters, but she made a verbatim copy of the manscript and sent it to one of the New Orleans papers with the request that if pos sible the name of the author should be published. This was gladly done, and the exquisite lines went the round of the press of this country and England as a model of English composition. Lord Palmerston pro nounced it "a modern classic, Cice ronian in its language." Public curi osity being aroused, the authorship was traced to John Dimitry, a young native of New Orleans, and a son of Alexander Dimitry, who before the war occupied a distinguished posi in the State Department at Washing ton. Young Dimitry, though onlv a boy, served in Johnson's army at Shiloh, and on visiting New Orleans and the grave of his dead chieftain, wrote the lines on the inspira tion of the moment and mod estly pinned them on the headboard as the onlv tribute he could offer. When the question arose concerning the form of epitaph to be placed on the monument erected to the memory of the dead Confederate General, the committee of citizens in charge with one voice decided upon this, and it is now inscribed upon the board panel at the base of the statute. IN MEMORY. For a season, . Albert Sidney Johnson, A general in the army of the Confed erate Mates, Who fell at Shiloh, Tennessee, On the sixth day of April, A. D., Eighteen hundred and sixty-two; A man tried in many high offices And critical enterprises, And found faithful in all. His life was one lone sacrifice of in terest to conscience: And even that life on a woeful Sabbath, Did he yield as a holocaust at his coun .try s need Not wholly understood was he while he lived; But, in his death his greatness stands confessed in a people s tears Resolute, moderate, clear of envy, yet not wanting In that finer ambition which makes men great and pure. In his honor impregnable; In his simplicity sublime. Wo country e er had a truer son no cause a nobler champion; No people a bolder defender no prin ciple a purer victim Than the dead soldier Who sleeps here; The cause for which he perished is lost The people for whom he fought ' are crushed I he hopes m which he trusted are shattered, The flag ho loved guides no more the cnarging lines, But his lan.e, consigned to the keeping of that time, which, Happily, is not so much the tomb of virtue as its shrine, Shall in the years to come, fire modest worth to noble ends. In honor, now, our great captain rests; A bereaved people mourn him. Three commonwealths proudly claim him; And history shall cherish him Among those choicer spirits, who, Holding their conscience unmix'd with blame, Have been, in all conjunctures, true to themselves, their country and their God. Oar Public School. Are the main-stay of our republic. In them are being cultivated the minds which are to be our future law-makers and leaders in every walk in life. How essential is it that these minds should be united to stroug healthy bodies. So many children suffer from impurities and poisons in the blood that it is a won der that they ever erow up to be men and women. Many parents cannot find words strong enough to express their gratitude to Hood's Sarsaparilla for its good effect upon their chiidren. Scrofula, salt rheum and other diseases ot the blood are effectually and permanendy cured by this excellent medicine, and the whole betne is eiven streneh to resist at tacks of disease. Wisdom is judgment exercised the true value of things desirable. on For bracing up the nerves, purify ing the blood and curing the head ache and dyspepsia there is nothing equaled to Hood s barasparllla. A Wonder Worker. Mr. frrank Huffman, a young man of Burlington, Ohio, states that he had been under the care of two prominent physicians, and used their treatment until he was not able to pet around. Thev pronounced his case to be consumption and incurable He was persuaded to try Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption coughs and colds and at that time was not able to walk across the street without restinc He lound before he had used half of a dollar bottle that he was much better; he continued to use it and is to-day enjoying good health.
