The Teacher*’ Excursion to Tybee.
The complimentary excursion to Tybee
yesterday, tendered by our local teachers to
the Georgia Teachers’ Association, was a
delightful affair. The members, their fam
ilies and friends to the number of about
four hundred left on the steamer Reliance
at half-past three o’clock, and a delightful
run, considerably cheered by the fine
music of the Savannah Guards’
Band, landed them safely at
Tybee Island. A great majority here
left the steamer and proceeded on a tour of
observation. Some stro’led along the beach
picking shells and inspecting the jellyfish;
others visited the lighthouse and took
a trip on the tramway around to
the south beach, and others occupied
the dancing pavilion aud passed an hour
or so tripping the light fantastic. Some of
the teachers from the interior, who do not
often have a chance of being “rocked in the
cradle of the deep,” remained on the
Bteamer, and were carried a short distance
beyond the bar.
The party returned about 11 o’clock last
night, in the bright moonlight, enjoying
singing and the music of the band. There
was au abundance of the good things of
life on board, and, indeed, the affair was
one of the most delightiul and charming we
have ever known, and so thought all of the
participants.
Jupiter.
The great planet Jupiter, now in the con
stellation of Scorpio, will arrive at its Peri
gee or nearness to the earth on May 17th,
when it will shine with a luminosity almost
equal to that of Venus, which Is just about
passing hor greatest elongation. In size
Jupiter is ten times that of Venus, being
80,000 miles in diameter, while Venus is a
little over 8,500. Venus appears much
larger and brightei, but this is because she
is so much nearer the earth than Jupiter.
Venus’s maximum distance is 35,000 miles,
while that of Jupiter is over 400,000,000
miles. Jupiter will appear to fall back
for the next two or three months.
This is caused by the earth
in her orbit passing him. In requires 365
days for the earth to perform her orbital
r volntion, while it takes Jupiter 12 years.
Venus will reach her perigee on the 7th of
June, when she will be an object worth
gazing at. The little rnddy planet Mars,
which Bhone so brilliantly last year, will
barely be visible this year. It takes him
two years to make his circuit. The smallest
ol the planets, Mercury, will be brightest
on the 11th of July, rising shortly before the
sun. This planet is so near the suu that it
is seldom seen. The great astonomer Co
pernicus, who lived to the ripe old age of 70
j ears, never saw Mercury.

Who Mhall Be “ Boss f’’
There is considerable excitement among
the Radicals over the fight going on be
tween A. N. Wilson and John E. Bryant, as
to which shall occupy the position of “ Boss
Angel” of the colored troops in Savannah
for the future. The former used to be the
“ Angel,” but it seems Bryant is determined
to rule or ruin, and if there was such a
thing as ruining that party now, we would
be glad to see him do it; but that is out of
the question, so we wish them both suc
Wilson is supported by the majority of the
whites and the better class of the colored
men, while Bryant has the Rev. Turner, who
is now classed as a government detective in
order to be kept on ihe Custom House roll,
at the head ot his followers. They had bet
ter do all they can now, for their time ef
office is short, as they go out with “Boss
Grant” and the ring.
Over Insurance.

Insurance, which was read before the Un

very readable, etc.

ThE phenomenon of the nine
teenth CENTURY.
A Stoat Inlerrntiac Entertainment.
Mr. J. R. Brown, the celebrated mind
reader, made his first appearance before the
pubhc ot Savanbah at the Theatre last even
ing. Mr. Brown, whom we have before no
ticed as being a prepossessing, young-look
ing man, was briefly introduced by Mr.
John McLaughlin, who stated that he was
nnable to say anything concerning the ex
hibition of Mr. Brown's powers further than
that he had obtained considerable celeb
rity.
Mr. Brown then gave a brief biographical
sketch of himself. He was born in 8t.
Louis, but was raised in Council Blnffs,
where until within the past four years he
was engaged in the hardware business. He
conld give no explanation of the faculty he
possessed; he was not a spiritualist, psycho
logist or clairvoyant; he was in fact a
mystery to himself. From bis earliest recol
lections he had been possessed of this power,
aud for some years exercised it for the
amusement of friends, bnt the demand
for tests increasing, he finally decided to
utilize it for pecuniary considerations, and
had since traveled a great deal. He would
give the audience some tests, and they
could form their own opinions. Mr. Brown,
with these preliminary remarks, requested
the audience to nominate five or six well
known gentlemen in the audience as a com
mittee under whose supervision the ex
periments would be conducted.
The following were nominated in suc
cession (Mayor Anderson and Mr. Villa-
longa, who were first named, declining) and
took their seats on the stage: Hon. RnfnsE.
Lester, Major Mims, Major Ryals, Messrs.
Wallace Cnmming and E. A. Silva and Dr.
Wm. N. King.
Mr. Brown requested the committee to
select some gentleman iu the audience
through whom the first experiment, or test,
would be made. The committee selected
Mr. B. H. Richardson, city editor of the
Mobnino News, who ascended the stage.
The mind reader then staled that he would
retire from the stage with some
of the committee, and during his absence
Mr. Richardson could give an article to any
one in the audience, or secrete it in the
Theatre, and he wonld, after taking
the left hand of the gentleman in
his left hand, and pressing it
to his forehead, take him to the
person to whom the article was given, or
designate the place where it was concealed.
Mr. Brown then left the stage with two
members of the committee, and Mr. Rich
ardson handed to Mr. Cecil Berrien, who
was sitting about the middle of the par-
quette, a small tin match box, which he
placed in his pocket. As he returned to the
stage, Mr. Brown came out, and takiDg his
left hand in his, placed it to his forehead a
few seconds, requesting at the same time
that he concentrate his mind upon the person
to whom he gave the article; suddenly he
wheeled about, still holding his hand, aud
descending from the stage, walked rapidly
and almost directly to Mr. Berrien and
placing his hand on his sbonlder said, this
is the gentleman to whom you gave tho ar
ticle. The success of this experiment was
greeted with loud applause.
Mr. Brown, removing the bandage, re
turned to the stage and stated that he would
like the committee to select another gentle
man in the audience who could think of
any one present, and he wonld lead him
o that person.
Mr. J. M. Solomons was called upon. The
same processes were gone through with as
in the first case, and Mr. Solomons was led
through the parquette by Mr. Brown, who
was blindfolded, to Mr. John Cunningham,
who was sitting i* the dress circle. Mr.
Sclomons stated Mr. Cnnningham was the
gentleman of whom he thought. Loud ap
plause greeted this success, and the audi
ence grew enthusiastic and interested.
The next test was equally remarkable and
successful. Mr. John- McLaughlin was se
lected by the committee, and, mapping out
in his mind a course through the Theatre,
was led by the mind reader over the identi
cal route he had marked out, which extend
ed from the stage through the parquette
aud dress circle, out aud up to tne family
circle and back to the stage over the same
path.
Tho next test was the designation of ini
tials thought of, aud afterwards of the per
son. The letters of the alphabet of large
size, but not in order, were arranged at the
back of the stage. Major R. M. Orme was
selected by the committee as the subject
for this experiment. Mr. Brown led Major
Orme to this alphabet, and in a few seconds
picked out the initials B. E. L., and then
moved off through the audience, still hold
ing Major Orme’s hand, and finally returned
to the stage and moving among the com
mittee, placed his hind upon Col. Lester,
amidst the most enthusiastic applause.
Major Orme stated that he had purposely
selected some one on the stage, as the Pro
fessor had mentioned to think of some one
in the audience, and hence he was better sat
isfied with the test.
Mr. Cecil Berrien was next called upon
the stage, and the mind reader located a
pain in his foot.
The next test was excellent, the Professor
giving additional evidence of his wonderful
talent. Mr. Wm. Sneed was selected by the
committee as the BUbject;he gaveapeDknife
to Mr. Ba'eson, who then handed it to Mr.
W. E. Myers, and he to Mr. Ryals, each
being ignorant of the disposition the other
had made of the article. Mr. Brown,
taking Mr. Sneed, proceeded blindfold
ed through the audience to Mr.
Bateson; taking him he walked direct
to Mr. Myers, bnt it was some minutes
before he could find the fourth party, owing
to the la-k of perfect concentration on the
part of Mr. Myers—the confusion probably
causing his attention to wander. After
traversing tho Theatre several times, he
finally succeeded in designating tho last per
son to whom the knife was given.
The last test, however, was the most won
derful of a'l. Mr. Brown stated that any
one selected could think of a friend in the
audience, take a mental photograph, as it
were, of his appearance, dress, etc., and if
be had sufficient concentration to retain the
impression, he wonld, after passing through
the audience, return to the stage, remove
the bandage from his eyes, and proceed by
himself direct to the party thougnt of.
Mr. Willie Hunter was first selected for
this test, but after several tours were made
through the parquette and dress circlo with
him, the Professor stated that he cor'd not
perform the experiment.
Mr. W. C. Vincent was next selected, and
through him this test was an admirable suc
cess. Mr. Vincent thought of Col. C. W.
Anderson, who was in a front seat of the
dress circle, and the Professor, after
traversing the aisles in the same manner as
in the other cases, removed the covering
from his eyes, and, after looking around
carefully, walked up to Col. Anderson, and
said this is the gentleman. This was in
comprehensible, and the Theatre fairly rung
with applause.
This closed the entertainment. Prof.
Brown desired the committee to express
their opinion aB to whether they saw any
thing like trickery or fraud, etc. Col. Lester
was chosen spokesman, and stated that the
committee knew nothing more than the au
dience did; hjd seen no more, and the ex
periments were to them incomprehensible.
He could only say that Mr. Brown
had done all he had promised and more
than they had expected.
Another entertainment will be given this
evening, and we advise those who wish to be
astonished, interested and entertained, to he
present. The audience l»st evening were
more than satisfied.

The Savannah Hussar*.
Editor Morning Hews:
Through the columns of your valuable
paper I have noticed where you made men
tion of my company, the Savannah Hussars,
who were on their way home from Charles
ton and happened to stop at Yemassee just
about the time that one of the train hands
was killed, and that the company became
very' turbulent. Which statement I, in be
half 0f my company, must assert were
erroneously made, for they positively had
nothing to do with the occurrence or diffi
culty which unfortunately took place at the
above named station. Please correct the
error, and by so doing, you will very much
oblige, very respectfully yours,

The Georgia Teac hers’ Association con
vened yesterday at nine o’clock a. m. in the
Bovs’ High School. Chatham Academy.
The proceedings were opened by prayer
from Rev. A. M. Wynn, pastor of Wesley
Methodist Church.
Mr. Chapp ell, Chairman of Special Com
mittee, reported in favor of holding the
next annual meeting in August, the date
and place being left with the Executive
Committee.
The report was received and adopted.
Major Jed Hotchkiss, of Staunton, Va.,
was tnen introduced, and proceeded with a
most interesting address illustrative of the
methods in geography, during which he
read a very ins tractive extract from works
of Carl Ritter, the most eminent geographer
in the world, probably. He commented
forcibly upou the importance of the stndy
of geography, considering it essential in
the development of the intellect aDd char
acter. He deprecated confining the pmrils
to a mere knowledge of the political boun
daries of States and countries, and urged
their instruction upon the subject of the
soil, climate, its effects, and the topography
generally of countries. He treated his
subject in the most lncid and systematic
manner. First, diBcnssing the situation,
size and shape of the various States and
countries; second, the surface and waters;
third, the climate and soil; fourth, the
natural products; fifth, man aud his condi
tions in the different countries. He advo
cated the construction of maps showing the
elevations, as well as the extensions of
countries, and placing a series of Guyot’s
maps on the blackboards, proceeded to a
discussion of the shape of the countries of
America, Africa and Asia, and traced the
course and effects of trade-winds sweeping
over the country upon the climate, etc., de
scribing explicitly the causes of dry and
moist climates, and attributing thus the
luxuriance of the valley of the Amazon to
physical causes.
Major Hotchkiss then showed the impor
tance of a thorongh understanding of the
topography of the country, by diagrams il
lustrating military operations in Vir
ginia during the war, and concluded by
urging the study or geography upon a
physical basis—a basis of permanency upon
which to build a trne knowledge of the sci
ence of geography.
He was listened to with the greatest at
tention, and his intelligent auditors seemed
deeply impressed with the practical tratbs
ho enunciated, and his unanswerable argu
ments in favor of the plan he advocated.
Ihe compliment of hearty applause greeted
the close of his address.
visiting places of interest.
On motion of Mr. B. M. Zettler, of Macon,
a resolution was adopted that, alter the close
of Major Hotchkiss’s address, the convention
should take a recess of three-quarters of an
hour in order that the members might have
an opportunity of visiting the
MORNING NEW8 PUBLISHING HOUSE
and the Exchange. Accordingly a recess
was announced by the President, and the
convention, numbering about forty gentle
men and as many ladies, proceeded in a
bodv to the Morning News office, aud were
conducted through the entire establishment,
from the press rooms to the cupola, the ma
jority having revealed to them, for the first
time, the mysteries of the “art preservative
of all arts,” aud tho wonderful inventions,
s .vine time and labor, that have been per
fected during the past few years, and which
are now in use in this establishment. They
expressed themselves highly entertained by
all they saw, and especially enjoyed the
magnificent view of the city from the cu
pola. From the News office they proceeded
to
THE EXCHANGE,
where they were welcomed by Mayor An
derson aud escorted through the varioos
city offices, including the long room, or
Council Chamber, which is adorned by a
magnificent full length portrait of the
South’s loved chieftain, Gen. Robert Ed
mund Lee, showing him as he Btood just
before the great battle of ChancellorsviUe.
After seeing all the sights at the Exchange
the members proceeded up Bull street, and
returned to Chatham Aoademy, and at a
quarter to one o’clock the
CONVENTION WAS CALLED TO OEDER
again, and the President announced
as in order an address from Major W. J.
Davis, of Louisville, Ky., on the subject of
Word Method of Teaching. Major Davis
was introduced, and with a few preliminary
remarks, launched npon his subject, which
he handled in moat interesting style. The
Major is an exceedingly fluent speaker, and
time being of value, proceeded rapidly with
an exposition of his views and experience.
Ho discussed the history and origin of the
word method briefly, presenting many ar
guments in its favor, and contrasting its
valne iu iustructiou with the alphabetical
method. He related several interesting ex
periences, and also alluded to the phonetic
chart method of Dr. Washington, some fea
tures of which he thought excellent and
conld be introduced with advantage in in
struction by the word method. There were,
however, some defects in the phonetic Bys
tem which were objectionable. Major Da
vis’s discussion of this word method, to be
tboronghly understood and appreciated,
should be heard. It was of a character
which cannot be correctly on very in
telligently portrayed in a report. Bat we
may say we were personally greatly inter
ested by it and impressed by its practical
Bense, and the feasibility and desirability of
its introduction into the lower grades of the
public schools especially.
Dr. B. H. Washington, of Augusta, whose
faith in his own method of phonetic teach
ing, a full account of which appeared in
yesterday’s News, was not in the least
shaken, took the floor at the close of the
Major’s remarks, and stating that he would
ooly detain the convention a short
t mo, said that a member yester
day spoke of a child haring
a picture of a wagon whereby he'could learn
to spell the word; that, said the speaker,
will give me a happy illustration, for the
phonetic plan of teaching is as far Bnperior
to the word-building plan, as a locomotive
is to a wagon.
I can teach my scholars to read elegantly
in the Fifth Reader in twelve to sixteen
months, while they require six years to do
the same work. Then, when we come to
word-building, the same superiority exists,
for while my friend would be teaching hiB
scholars the one word “wagon,” I could take
up Towns'e Analysis and, having taught
my scholars the prefixes aud suffixes,
then when they are taught that the
word press means to urge by weight or force,
they would know without any further labor
seventy-two words. The difference between
ns is that they teach word-building on a
small scale at the very commencement of a
child's studies; I teach word-bnilding on a
large scale after tho child has learned to
read elegantly and can apply his knowledge
in every direction and scale; while under
the plan of the word-builders the child only
learns one single word at a time and cannot
go one step beyond. I will illustrate my
meaning hy an actual circumstance which
occurred in a school where the word-build
ing plan was under trial; the boy had rec
ognized the picture of a cat and learned it
quite readily, but li6 came to the word cat-
a-logue aud couid uot tell what it was; the
teacher, to assist him, pronounoed the word
for him and then began to spell it for him.
Oh! said the bov, I know very well what
cat is; but what hag the logne to do with
the cat ? Ho was completely puzzled, be
cause he had not learned but one word.
When I teach my scholars that un and in
mean not, they have a clue to the meaning
of every derivative adjective in the language
containing those prefixes, and the phonetic
scholar is more than a hundred to one ahead
of the word-building scholar; the latter
knows his cat well enough, but cannot spell
catalogue. Again, when I teach that the
suffix eil means did or was, they have the
clue to the meaning oi the imperfect tense
ot every regular verb, and again our ac
count stands several hundred to one against
the word.buiiders.
Bat it is a mistaken assumption that
scholars cannot comprehend words exoept
by the word-building plan. Mr. President,
the most affecting sight on earth is a tear in
woman’s eye, and when I see the miniature
tear-drop in the eyes of mv scholars, well
ing np from their heart’s deep fountains of
affection, and hear their tender, quivering
accents as they read that most beantiful
piece in the Fifth Reader, “ My Mother’s
Bible,” these word-builders must not tell
me they cannot understand. They cannot
read a single page without adding to their
stock of words ; their Sunday school pa
pers add to their stock; conversation
with older persons adds to their stock,
and to assume that because my scholars
get into the Fifth Header in twelve or
fifteen months, while theirs are grop
ing ailing among pictures of cats, rats,
dogs and wagons, that mine cannot under
stand anything they read, is a false assump
tion not sustained by facts at all.
Teaching my scholars to read elegantly
in the Fifth Reader in twelve to sixteen
months, while they require six years to do
the same, gives me the whole year to carry
out my word-bflilding plan by Towns’s
Analysis, and my scholars will have a mas-
tory over the English language that theirs
cannot acquire in the whole six years.
So, then, I have fonr years to spare, in
whioh I can develop their minds, cultivate
their hearts, and take thrangh nature np to
nature’s God. I can say Co them, my chil
dren, do yon see yon white mark on that
blackboard, opposite colors, the Lord has
made everything on the plan of two oppo
sites; the moon you saw last night tarns
always the same face to the.earth, while the
earth never has for ten minutes turned the
same face to the sun.
Turning to a portfolio of pictures, I can
show them the gigantic whale; and tel) them
that it feeds on a little animal noi as long as
their thumbs; the terrible shark, ooncerow
ing which they read in their books, has its
month on the under side of its body; while
there is another fiBh, the plateasa, which
has its month on the upper side; the fish of
the seas and the rivers have eyes, but the
fish of Mammoth Gavo have none; most fish
have bones, but the sturgeon has none, etc.
“ to the land animals, I can tail
harmless animals are drawn to tho light, bnt
the lion, tiger aDd all harmful animals go away
from the light; the fire-fly. whioh they
chase in the evening, and the glow-worm
j by the fence-side, are light-giving animals,
while all other animals are light-receiving
animals. Turning to the vegetable king
dom I can say do yon see yonr beautiful
flowers; there are some plants without any
flowers; see you yon rose—all the roses you
see have thorns, but yonr Saviour is oailed
the Bose of Sharon because that rote has
no thorns.
Do yon remember the story of Joseph in
Egypt ? Joseph saved his brethren, but he
lived to save hiB brethren ; Jeans saved bis
brethren, but he died to save his brethren.
The Saviour is called the Son of God, the
Everlasting Father, the Son of God, the
Son of Man, the Alpha, the Omega—the
first,the last—the beginning, the ending, the
Beginner of onr faith—the Finisher of onr
faith; he that livith and was dead; ttie
Lamb of God—the Good Shepherd; the
Lamb of God—the Lion of the tribe of
Judah; he is gone away now, bnt will come
again; he will eome as a Lamb to those who
accept him, as a Lion to those who reject
him; and take care my children that he
comes to yon as a Lamb. If then we can
thus develop their minds and cultivate
their hearts, I say in the name of our
children, and the God of our children, let
us do so, and fit them for the coming duties
of life on a far grander and nobler scale
than can possibly be done under the time-
wasting plans now frittering their tenderest
years.
Mr. W. H. Baker followed by stating that
be endorsed most cordially a large portion
of Major Davis’s admirable address. His
talk had been chiefly to the teachers of the
primary schools, and he hoped not without
effect. He hoped the day was coming, and
wonld hail its early coming with pleasure,
when the teachers of the primary schools
would receive the highest compensation ;
then they would have the best class of
teachers for those schools, and this he con
sidered highly important. He thought the
primary schools should receive more atten
tion from Boards of Education, as it was in
those schools that the basis of education was
laid, and it was essential that ttie
instruction should be thorough and com
plete. He was opposed to the phonic sys
tem because he considered it absolutely
ridiculous, and cited instances in his own
experience where he had been struck with
the unreasonableness of teachers expecting
too much of pnpils in this respect. He was
sorry there was not a larger representation
from the rural districts, as this was a mat
ter which deeply concerned the teachers of
that section. He disapproved the alpha
betical system entirely.
Mr. Moore, of Atlanta, had heard the re
marks npou this subject with rare interest,
and hoped that by the next meetiDg some
one, competent to perform the duty, wonld
prepare an essay setting forth the best
method of ’caching the rudiments. He had
recently read an article from an English
man, ridiculing our spelling books, and he
would be pleased to have some one ap
pointed to investigate this matter, and pre
sent a full exposition of the subject in an
essay.
Mr. Zettler made a few remarks on the
subject and- was followed by Rev. Timothy
Harley in a short speech advocating adhe
rence to the alphabetical method of teach
ing, closing with the remark that when it
came to the iBsne of old wine and new, that
the majority wonld take the old.
Major Davis made a few further remarks
in explanation of certain points criticised,
and the discussion closed.
RESOLUTIONS.
Mr. Moore, of Atlanta, offered the follow
ing resolntions, which were nnanimously
adopted:
Resulted, That the thanks of this Associa
tion are hereby tendered to the proprietor
and editorial corps of the Savannah Mous
ing News for many acts of courtesy, and
especially to Mr. B. H. Richardson, city
editor of the News, for his constant atten
tion and his full aud accurate reports of the
proceedings of this Association.
Resolced, That onr thnks be returned to
the teachers and citizens of Savannah for
their generous hospitality and many acts ol
courtesy by which onr visit has been made
most pleasant; also, to the proprietors of
the various hotels &ud boarding houses for
furnishing board at reduced rates ; and to
the various railroads which have transported
the members of this body at half the usual
fare.
Mr. Park, of Macon, offered the following,
which was unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That the thanks of this asso
ciation be cordially returned to the retiring
President and Secretary for tho able, effi
cient and faithful manner in which they
have discharged the various duties of their
respective offices.
Mr. W. LeC. Stevens moved that the
thanks of the association be returned to
Major Jed. Hotchkiss, of Staunton, Va., and
to Major W. J. Davis, of Louisville, Ky., for
their valuable aud instructive addresses and
their able assistance, which was seconded
and unanimously carried.
THE RETIRING OFFICERS.
Dr. Battle, in retiring from the Presiden
tial chair, returned his thanks to the con
vention for their complimentary expression
of friendship and opinion. He remarked
that the meeting had been an exceedingly
pleasant one, and whilst the attendance was
not as large as had been expected, many
whose presence was promised not being
here, yet, what they lacked in quantity
was made up in quality. He felici
tated them npon having just closed a
most valuable >8688100. ’ihetr sojourn
in Savannah had been delightful, and
their experience had demonstrated that
the record of Savannah for genuine hospi
tality, courtesy and cordiality had been more
than sustained. The entertainment of the
preceding night and the one that was in store
for them in the afternoon, which wonld
prove, no doubt, equally pleasant, would
long be among the cherished remembrances
of them all. He congratulated them upon
the choice they bad made in their officers
for the ensuing year, and Btated that it
gave him pleasure to transmit the
duties of the office to so skill
ful a pilot on the educational waters as their
new President. He was assured that in the
hands of that officer, so accomplished and
experienced, the good ship would be safely
piloted into the haven of success aud pros
perity. In conclusion ho appointed Mr.
Baker and Mr. Stevens to escort the new
President, Mr. Mallon, of Atlanta, to the
chair.
Upon assnming the chair, President Mal
lon briefly addressed the convention, thank
ing them for the honor conferred npon him
and for the kind reference made to him by
his predecessor, any dne acknowledgments
of which he could scarcely find words to
express. He pledged his best ability to con
tribute to the success of the affairs' of the
association and to render the next meeting
equally as pleasant. He thought the pres
ent session the most interesting the asso
ciation had held for years, and was ex
tremely gratified at the resalts. He hoped
at the next meeting to see all who were
present and more too. In conclusion, he
recommended several educational periodi
cals to tho teachers, and stated that they
would find them of value in the discharge
of their duties.
Mr. John T. Morris, chairman of the
Board of Education in Baltimore city, called
the attention of the convention to the faot
that the National Teachers’ Association
wonld meet in Baltimore in July next, and
that there would be probably represented
in that body a larger number of eminent
educators than had ever been gathered to
gether before. He extended a cordial in
vitation to the members of this convention
to attend, assuring them of a hearty wel
come and cordial reception by the people of
the Monumemtal City.
Dr. Battle made some remarks in refer
ence to the importance of members appoint
ed to read essays, of complying with their
engagements, or at least, when necessa
rily compelled to be absent, to give timely
notice of the same.
Mr. Stevens supplemented this with an
urgent request that members who were pre
vented from attending the session should
send their essays to the Secretary, which
could be read before that body. This had
been done in other edneationai bodies and
had given great satisfaction. Considerable
annoyance and disappointment would thns
be averted.
Mr. B. Mallon called attention to the fact
that the Virginia Edneationai Sooiety wonld
meet on tne 9th of July and those attending
wonld have an opportunity of visiting the
National Association at Baltimore and also
the edneationai departments at the Centen
nial, which it was scarcely necessary for
him to say wonld prove exceedingly instruc
tive to the teachers.
Major Davis stated that arrangements had
been made for the entertainment at the
National Convention in Baltimore of a num
ber of distingnished and eminent profes
sors and educators from Europe, and that
immediately after the adjournment of the
convention a Congress of Teachers of this
country and Europe wonld be held, and
their deliberations would be of great in
terest. •
No other business was presented, and, on
motion, the convention adjourned.

A regular business meeting of this Asso
ciation was held last evening at their Hal^
corner of Bay and Abercoru streets. Mr.
G. H. Miller, on motion, occupied the chair.
The minntes of last meeting were read
and confirmed. An election of officers to
serve for the ensuing year was then an
nounced, which resulted as follows :
President, R. E. Lester.
Vice President, S. B. Adams.
Secretary, F. G.Ash.
Treasurer, G. H. Miller.
Librarian, J. C. Duggan.
The Committee on Lectures and Debate
reported that the anniversary address wonld
be delivered by Col. Lester on Monday, the
22nd inst., at Armory Hall.
Declaimers being called npon, Mr. G. H.
Miller responded m a handsome and erudite
dissertation npon the works of Shakspeare,
which was received with applause.
The question for debate was then an
nounced—viz : “Should men of bad char
acter be employed as government detec
tives ?” on the principle of “set a rogue to
catch a rogue,” which, after an animated
debate, was decided in the negative.
Subject for next debate: “Which is more
beneficial "in the present state of society,
military or literary culture?”

The Troy (N. Y.) Daily Times says:
“Strawberries were in market Monday, 90
cents per quart. These berries come lrom
Savannah by steamer, and consequently are
not very fresh when they arrive here. A
gentleman from the strawberry fields of
Virginia states that the crop this year will
be immenso. A week ago acres of straw
berry beds were white with blossoms, the
round appearing as if covered with snow.
These berries will begin to arrive here in
about a week or ten days, and will be re
markably cheap for the season. The pros
pects are good for a large crop in this
vicinity. Vegetables from the South are
plenty in market, monstrous pineapples,
some of them weighing ten pounds, green
as, string beans, and Bermuda potatoes,
