RAPID IMPROVEMENT IN THE SOUTH
There are signs of rapid improve
ment in the South, wbi. h must cheer
every philanthropic and patriotic
heart. We do not refer so much to
material improvement, which has been
very great already, botli in agricul
ture and manufactures, as to moral
improvement in the ideas and man
ners heretofore engendered bv
slavery. For instance ;
1. Instead of the haughty, dictato
rial, self-sufficiency of Southern aris
tocracy which treated the Northern
people as peddlers and mud -sills, de
manded the right t make the whole-
Union its hunting ground for slaves,
and insisted on extending slavery
over the i erritories ; instead of a
Toombs boasting that he would cali
the roll or his slaves on Bunker Hill
and Preston lirooks beating a Massa
chusetts Senator nearly to dcalh in
thrf Se..ate Chamber of the United
States; instead oflthu we see now
an extre me sensitiveness with regard
to Northern opinion, and an earnest
attempt to justify Southern -sins and
sUortcoiBings in the North.
2. Again there is a wonderful
change in tone toward Northern men
who go South. In the olden times
they ware watched and menaced like
criminals, and if they settled there
they liad to be louier in defence of
slavery than the slaveholders them
selves. Their papers would be stop
ped also by every petty postmaster ii
thev contaiued anything against
slavers'. The change in these respects
has been indeed wonderful. Now the
whites in almost ver3' part of the
South are earnest in their invitations
to Northern men to settle among
them, an 1 give them most solemn as
surhiic. s that they will have as entire
liberty of "pinion and freedom of
action ii the South as in the Noith
Phis change of public opinion is a
wonderful gain for the South in every
point of view.
3. The recklessness of human life
which has painfully distinguished the
South in the time of slavery and
since, is, if we judge aright, rapidly
passing away. The chivalry which
shot a man at si;ht on the street, and
w:.s with haste cleared of all blame
hy a chivalrous judge and jury, is.
we hope, a thing of the past. The
condemnation of such chivalrous pro
ceedings by Northern prpers has cut
very deep ; not, because their articles
were read generally in the South, but
because Southern papers replied with
great indignation, not in the way oi
justifying the South, but by showing
that the North was as bad or worse
Tne agitation of this blow has, we
hope, given the death blow to chival
rous murders and acquittals of mur
derers in the South.
4. 'Hie evidently growing disposi
tiou to treat the colored population
fairly is the best sign of Southern
improvement. It is rare now to hear
ot lh burning of "nigger" schools
and chu. dies; though that, a few
3'ears ago. was their almost certain
fate. Instead of this we hear of in
creased appropriations for the schools
and colleges of the colored popula
tion.
5. Shooting the colore I voters, or
preventing them from voting by vio
lence, or overwhelming their votes by
hunches of tissue ballots, are modes
of carrvinii elections fast going out
of date, as is the exclusion of blacks
from equal privileges with whites in
street-cars and on railroads.
There are, however, still remaining
shameful relics of the barbarous
treatment of colored people in the
long sentences of slavery in chains
for stealing mythical chickens ; but
our travelling correspondent, who
has investigated the whole matter at
the police courts, penttentiary, and
quarries of Atlanta, says the whites
j are very much ashamed of the chain
gang. If so, it cannot continue long.
We have sent 'ier ycry interesting in
vestigations on this subject to every
newspaper in Atlanta, and to all the
public officials whose address we
could obtain, and if they cau stand
such a reproach they are farther be
hind in humanity and fair dealing
than wc think they are.
We expect yet to be as proud of
the regenerated Southern States as
we are of the best Northern States,
and we must admit that in some re
spects they have been far ahead of us.
There is less of socialism, atheism,
unitarianism, universalism, spiritual
ism, divorce, foeticide, and other
noxious vageries and foolish beliefs
in tne South, we believe, than iu the
North ; and, therefore, Southern
Christians and philanthropists have,
in these respects, a better held to
work on. Only let them educate.
educate, educate both whites and
blacks, and the South will become a
verj' desirable land to live in. N. Y.

SUCCESS IN TEACHING.
Every teacher desires success. It
can be had. Will you try. to deserve
it? , If so, decide in your own mind
what success is, then how to seek it,
and lastly work for it Suceess is
obtaining the right results. In teach
inr, it consists in making the pupils
kno.v lea ling them to love study,
in training them to right methods ff

skill in the same.
Avoid all common errors, make a
ist of such errors as 3-ou know other
teachers have, make a list of your
own, and avoid them all. Seek per-
ection. The requisites of a good
eacher are : a good school-house, a
ood teacher, and good scholars.
You can keep jour house neat,
quiet, and well ventilated. The
louse has an influence on the school ;
keep the air pure and "the room neat.
You can be a good teacher. Suc
cess depends not upon one great ef
fort, but upon regular, patient, and
aithful work. Ketn' at it "with
time and patieuce tl.e mulberry -leaf
ecomes satin."
Go to school in season. Call
school at the right time. Have the
)upils come in promptly and quietly.
Write out your order of exercises.
Arrange j our programme as well as
vou can. Carry it out to the minute.
Consider it as neccessarv for you to
follow ic as for the children to follow
it. Provile enough work for every
pupil. Suppress whimpering. Secure
the co operation of your pupils. Lead
them to see that it is for their interest
to have good order and a good school.
Require hard study from the pupils.
Lead them to love study. Give short
lessons. Assign them so p'ainlj-
that none may mistake their lessons
Have the lessons well studied. Re
quire clearness, promptness, and ac
curacy in recitation. A little well
known is of great value. Let not
'how much, but how well," be your
motto. Do not assist the pupils
much at recitation. Cultivate their
self-reliance. Self-help is their best
help. Do not let them help eacl
other. Excite an interest in study
lie enthusiastic yourself, and 30U
will make 3 our pupils enthusiasts
Encourage those who need encour
agement. Review often. Talk but
little. Be quiet 3'ourself. Speak
kindh and mildly. Be firm. 11

A pood teacher cau become better.
Be not satisfied with yuuf present
skill. Seek to improve yourself as a
teacher. Studj- hard yourself, an 1
study dajly. Try to learn more. each
da3 than you learcd the day before
Have a fixed' time for your own study

THE POWER OF DYNAMITE.
Within the past tn years, a new
instrument of havoc and destruction
has hpp.n added to the asrencv with
which men make war upon one anoth
er. The murder of the Czar of Rus
sia, two years ago; the blowing up
few weeks since, of a Governmen
building in London ; the seizure o
explosive machines in the hands of
suspicious characters, and . pian3r
other circumstances, have called th
startled attention' of the world to the
terrible -powder-of dynamite.
What is this immensely destructiv
substance ? It is a compound, usual!
ipade in the forin .of a paste, of nitro
glycerine and gun-cotton. ; NirO gly
geriue, as the reader may know, is an
oilv liuuid of .highly explosive aned
dangerous qualities. Gun cotton ii
cotton saturated in certain acids
which make it aleTa vtry explosive
ageut. The two, combined in the
form of dynamite, make a substanc
which carries death and destruction
pent up in a very small compass.
The alass bomb of dynamite which
not only killed the Czar Alexander,
but wounded half a dozen of - his
escort, and broke the window oanes
of houses several hundred feet away,
could be carried easiby concealed in
the palm of a man's hand of medium
-.ize. No doubt the explosive agent
whatever P was which dealt SMch
havoc in London, was quite as small
and as easily concealed.
Theie are many possible forms and
combinations' of gun cotton, nitro-
lvcerine. and dynamite. Nitrogly
erine will not explode by the mere
pplication of fire ; on the contrary,
lighted, it will burn slowly, and
urinlessly. But it will explode 13' a
sharp concussion. A dynamite bomb,
00, -u) plied with a small percussion
ip, will explone if thrown violently.
just as does a toy torpedo.
The most common way of explod-
ng one of these agents is 10 have
hort fuse attached to it. The furthei
nd of the fuse is lighted, and-then
the operator hastens avay. By the
time the fire reaches the destroying
agent, the operator is able to get to a
safe instance, and to defy deection.
I'he explosive power of d-namite
or nitro-glycerine is generally stated
to be about ten times as great as gun
powder of the same bulk. The explo
sion pioduces 110 smoke whatever.
ut creates a deafening detonation.
Dj'namite, and other forms of nitro
4lyce-ine and gun cotton, are taking
the place of gun powder in man3'
practical directions. They have been
substituted for gun-powder, to a large
extent, in the operations of mining
and of blasting rock ; and this kind
f work is much mo.e rapidly done
In their means. Such exploaP e
a.entH are also being introduced in 10
the operat ions of warfare.
Gun-cotton is used iu artillery op
crations and iu naval actions, it being
found far more effective than gun-
owder. as w 11 as more clean in . i;s
u-;e. it is also adopted in ttie opera
tions of military engineering.
Thus we see that the discovery of
nitro glycerine, gun cotton and d na-
uite, witu their vat ious combinations
and tl.e improvements constantly
made in them, h.is given to men , a
new and most potent material force,
which they use both for wicked and
beneficent ends.
Henceforth, not only will mining.
blasting, a . d similar work be done
more rapidly wi h less lab r. but w ars
will be shoittr because more deslruo
tive.
But we con not regard the tremen
dous destructive power of dynamite
and the ease ith which enougltof it
to destroy-a palace or a- prison can
be carried concealed about the person
without oereeivinir what a terrible
weapon it supplies to the .crimina
and the assassin.
Nor can we wonder that the Eng
lish' and other governments :tre earn
estby considering how the manufac
ture and sale of agents so formidable
in their action, and indeed in their
very'' existence, can be restricted with
out limiting their proper and benefi
cial use in saving human labor ami
making it more effective. yowl's
