The Birmingham boom has about “busted.”_ A fearful earthquake in Mexico la°t Saturday caused the loss of one hundred and fifty lives. The Telegraph says that Macon dust is the finest, in the South. True, but its abundance is nausea¬ ting. The public debt reduction for April is about $13,000,000; gov¬ ernment receipts, $30,000,000, and expenditures, $ 20 , 000 , 000 . When Attorney General Gar¬ land’s term expires he will locate in New York and practice law. He says that he is tired of politics, and not even the pleasure of being a member of President Cleveland s political household during tho lat¬ ter’s second term would induce him to hold office after March 4, 1B80. He never goes into society, but devotes his leisure time to study. The many statements to the effect that the Inter-Stats Commerce law had cheeked the business opera¬ tions and trade of tho country are proved to be unfounded by the re¬ port of the clearing houses for last week. The report shows that there is an increase in every town save Norfolk, Portland and Galveston. New York makes an excellent ex¬ hibit, and the total improvement in the volume of business, as com¬ pared with the same week last year, is 35.2 per cent, or more than one-third. Both the manufactur and commercial cities do well. CLEVELAND AND ORADY. The name of Ilenry W. Grady, of the Atlanta Constitution, has been prominently and frequently sug¬ gested 1 ) T the ovens and people of this entire U 11 ion as the second ur 1 n on the presidential ticket for 1838. Cleveland and Grady sounds well and a stronger ticket could not, be made. Cleveland’s admin¬ istration, cle&r and spotless, in¬ sures him a renomination at the hands of his party. His skillful, conservative ami patriotic acts as chief executive of this Union, com¬ mand for him not only the respect and support, but the love of every loyal democrat. Mr. Grady as vice is peculiarly fitting. Ho who in the short space of 30 minutes did more than any man ever has toward healing the festering sore of the late unpleas¬ antness and as if by some magical power drew the hands of North and South to-gether in friendship and joined them with the firm clasp of brotherly love, is deserv¬ ing of honors commensurate with his deeds. There is not a man in this broad land filled with a deeper or stronger love for the Union or whose heart pulsates with a warm¬ er br more patriotic loyalty for his native lind than Henry W. Grady. BOYS, HONOR YOUR CALLING. It is a very great mistake to think that any one calling, business or profession in this country, is more respectable than that of another. There is an idea prevailing in the minds of a great many persons, and especially does it prevail in the minds ot the young men, that farming is rather a low, unpopular mni degrading occupation; that those who toil in the field, amid ths dust and the burning sunshine, have uc opportunity to rise in the world, and that there is no future in store for them but a life full of hardship, struggle and poverty This is indeed a very sad and great mistake. Thsre is no more hon •arable and expectable calling than that of the independent farmer. As an occupation or profession, it stands exactly upon the same plane with all other vocations and pro¬ fessions, and is of equal dignity and respectability with them all. It i» a moral and elevating voca¬ tion in its character, because it is free from the influence of vice and evil purposes. Like all occupa¬ tions, however, it is exactly what you make of it. The mechanic, the merchant, the teacher, the law¬ yer, and the doctor, are only what they make themselves as such. Neither of these vocations or pro¬ fessions will elevate a man above his common level without his effort. A man is a man, no matter what his station or calling in life. Be his vocation ever so humble or ex¬ alted, his respectability and suc¬ cess must depend entirely upon hia deportment and exertion, The man muat honor the calling, and not the calling the man. No mat¬ ter what his vocation may be, he must honor it, and make it res¬ pectable.—Covington Star. DISCIPLINE FOR THE YOUNG, In this day of improved meth¬ ods in the school room bodily pun¬ ishment is not often administered to refractory pupils. Instead “a black mark” or “detention after school” is the mild punishment used to deter them from violations of rules, or to induce them to study their lessons. It is the experience of teachers, however, that the im¬ proved methods of punishment are failures, and in consequence there is a general demand for a return to tho hickory rod or the whalebone. Perplexed pedagogues may find a suggestion in the plan of punish¬ ment adopted by a teacher in New Bedford, Mass. Miss Nutter, the principal of a primary school in that city, tries water upon refracto¬ ry pupils. She does not drown them, but she takes them to the sink and washes their faces. Her plan perhaps, would be unobjec¬ tionable were it not for the fact that the does not use a sponge She holds the youthful faces under a faucet and lets the water run un¬ til her victims are almost paralyzed. Her plan is sanctioned by the su¬ perintendent of schools, but the parents of the pupils object to it upon two gronnds : They say it is inhumane, and that they prefor to wash their children’s faces without outside help. If demagogues can overcome tho objections to Miss Nutter’s plan it may not be necessity to return to the rod of whalebone. There are reasons to believe, however, that the old methods of punish¬ ment were the best. There is a wonderful amount of persuasion in a well seasoned hickory, whether it is used to prevent bad behavior or to induce study. Its use, too, is a curb upon forwardness. The youths of thirty years ago were willing to let their elders control in most matters, but now the latter are allowed but few privileges. The youths are in command. If their teachers do not suit them they strike. If parental authority press¬ es too hard upon them they leave home and proceed to work out their own destines. Of course there are exceptions, for now and then the hickory is still found in use. Old men who were “thrashed into subjection,” as they express it, unite in the opinion that the young should be brought under stricter discipline. The thought¬ ful observer will admit that they are right. There ought to be a re¬ form, and it shonld begin in the family. Severe punishment ought not to be inflicted, but boys and girls should be made to obey. As the schools, nobody would care to see the “oid field schools” reestab¬ lished, but it w ?old be well to try a little sf their efficacious discip¬ line. Nothing has been gained by practically allowing the young to control themselves.—Morning News The fight on the tariff is shaping itself admirably, though quietly. If among some of our most infiuen tiAUeadere, thdove ofoountiyaml nghtyonld be would placed ahead be of long bood¬ in le. the time not coming when this unjust and grind ing oppression would be lifted from shoulders of out common people.
