The very fact that this visit
to the country meant an in
sight into a number of schools,
afforded us a jileasure greatly
desired.
The school in District No.,
H, , is being taught by Mr.!
David W. Misenheimer. Here
we found a eonilortable room,
(the old time chimeyr jut-
tui in. gotMi work) idled with
pupils of all ages from sax to
twenty-one. ine conduct and
maimer in which the pupils
reeued, sit tmee convinced us.
that Mr. M. was doing good
worlc Forty-three names
are enrolled and the average
attendance of thirty in so
small a district as- this speaks
well, fc the iatcret manifest
ed by the. patrons. m the- edu
cation of their children.
At the school house in Dis
trict Na 8 we found Miss
Rossi Mvers busily eimajred
with her school of interesting

noys and gins. We were

T&e school building in DL
trict No. :i, near Mill Hill, is
a. good one. It is very seldom
yon lind a better school housw
for public schools than this
one. It is the result of an
interested committee doing its
diiT. The teacher, Miss
Helen Watts, displays con
siderable interest in her work,
as well as her pupils, who be
fore this have been nseVl to
'good teachers. Miss Watts
qualified herself for teaching
at Statesvflle Female College ;
this in itself means much.

how very c-illow he must have been

ut the age of forty-tiro, he lo:ks
like a boy still. When Wise started

with the triiunphamt troops of the
Northern armv, and throush these
hostile and jubilant forces the boy

one time he swam his horse across a
stream with half a dozen Union
cavaliymen shooting at him; at
wner time barely escaped capture
in the woods or at the farm houses
as he stopped for food, and often
times he lay '-hid out" in the woods

Rut the thing that most imjiressed
itself iiKn his memory was his first
Hght of f(rd'rtl cavalry m the
march. A he was feeling his way
cauiiousiy upon the road running
along the bank of Appomattox river
one bright morning, he heard the
somui of mnsia ahead of him. He
hurriedly wishdrew up a rise beside
the ro.ul into a thick scrub oak
and pine undergrowth, where he
made himsvlf secure from observa
tion. Then, as the music came
nearer, he crept to the edge of the
rise, hugged he ground closely be-
uinu a log, and, e.p:ng over,
watched tire passing of a detach
ment of Sheridan's cavalry and
artillery. He had never seen the
Northern cavalry. He had onlv
knowledge of the worn-out and de
cimated cavalry of the Confederate;
a cavalry made up of half-starved
men and horses and nudes; a cavalry
in which the men were picturesque
in the ariety of tluir tatters and
rags, dirt and mixed equipments in
all, a sorry and forlorn looking sold
iery. The Federal troops wen
passing in quick trot in their pur-

over the rotten log. As the time
went by and grew into the hours,
with never a break in the hurrvinir

rumble of the cannon wheels, the
rattle of carbines and sabres, the
song aud call from the cavdiwmen,

covered his face with his hands, as
the picture of his own people came
to mind and said, "My God ! what

Here is a description of the Pu
nioan men and women : '-The Sa
moan men are very fine specimens,
of the genus homo tall, borad, well
developed, and with prepossessing,
fine agreeable features. They have
the custom of applying lime to the
hair, which makes them all red
headed. There are various shades,
from auburn to a darker shade,
whici resembles seaMLi. The
hair is trimmed close on the crown
of the head, leaving the front, sides
and back long, which, surmounting
a really tine bronzed face, produces a
handsome effect.
"In the matter of clothing they
are quite primitive, as, for the most
part, the j wear, nothing but a strig'
of c'oth wound about the waist, fall
ing half-way to the knee. The origi
nal material1 used was tapa, and
many use that now; but the majori
ty have substituted calico, and, as
would be expected, choose large fig
ures an l brilliant colors. All the
men are tattooed from w.iist to the
knees, the pattern being: identical
and very elaborate. A few wear gar
lands of flowers across the should
ers, and some head-dresses of leaves
standing up like feathe:s. These, we
uii'fierstand, are chiefs.
"I he great majority of women
wear nothing above the waist and
nothing below the knees. A few,
perhaps from deference to foreign-
rs' prejudice, perhaps through van
ity, attempt waists, but it is" such a
recent innovation that no well-dcfiiT
ed fashion has been .-stablished, each
ispirant to 'better things' in the
way of clothing following her own
fancy or that of her particular set. ;
