In spite of the yeasty increasing population of Ureal, Britain, tlie great plaguegof drankeaoess, pover ty and crime apr rather decreasing tliau inmmafng| It is raportXi that ikfominent English morwtuifits have chartered tho steamer OtJjfttEMyrii to run be tween Liverpool nicL Philadelphia during tli|l <Jdtitennial. Mb. John Jay, minister to Aus tria, favors a j>osti>onement of the Philadelphia Centennial exhibition for one year, In order to complete the necessary preparations for Its organi zation. The poot of the Lynchburg News’ staff thus criticises Mr. Lucas who rend the poem at the University of Virginia: “If Mr. Lucas is a poet, We fear tho world will never know It.” Cabtbbsvillk has voted to abolish retail whiskey shops. It was a deuced good measure, for it was next to im possible to buy a drink of good whis key there. It was a good measure any how, but it won’t put a stop to drinking - “not by a jug full.” The Italian Amy.—ltaly has now actually under arms 1t5,000 men, and It Is said that this number will soon l>e increased to 300,000. The second section of tho permanent army, known as the mobile mllitlu, amounts to about $160,000 meri. Recruiting for tho third and fourth sections will soon be began. Tire Lynchburg News thus writes of the. Clarke Alston difficulty: They started off with their seconds for tho Held of battle, but when they arrived there their fiery blood had cooled, and they prudently postponed their pistol practice until seme po liceman came along and scared off the whole party, The Lynchburg News is responsible for the following: Tho charge of “repudiation,” in nil of its aspects, against the honor and credit of Virginia, or any respectable portion of her people, is a base false hood and gross slander which could only have originated In the special in terests of that small ring of ‘'funders” who, by fraud and bribery, and in tho darkness of midnight, fastened that financial Iniquity (the funding bill) upon the helpless people of this Stuto to the real injury or honest bondholders, and to tho sortous pre judice and poniunient injury of this Commonwealth. Repudiation is one thiug, while a fair and honorable ad justment or a debt according to the ability of a party to pay, is altogether another thing, and they who cannot understand, or will not respect, the distinction between the two, are eith er fools or knaves, and their opinions are not entitled to common respect. The New York Herald justifies the nbsonco of tho President from Wash ington during the summer months, on tho ground that Jefferson, Adorns and (HjokgeWasßinoton, all did the same thing. Tho Herald says: A distinction ts also made in this ruspect between tho office of Presi dout and those of the heads of tiro Cabinet. Tho statutes carefully pro vide for the absence of tho latter by prescribing who shall perform their duties when they are absent. The law requires these offices to be kept open at Washington a certain num ber of hours dally throughout the year, except in prevailing epidemics, when they may lie removed tempora rily to,some .other.plage,. But the "llloeof the‘President is not thus lo calized, and the presumption follows that its duties may he legally por l'ordxjß \yhorsv<B the President may bo. Tn point of law the President is never absent in an official sense, as ho may in the discharge of his duties bo at the head of an army or exam ining the defences of a fortress. RAiLitoAD statistics nro thus com piled by tho HaUropd Gazette , from advance sheets of Poor's Manual : Tho total length of the railroads of tho. United States Included in their reports which are believed to in clude all except small local roads with insignificant earnings-is G9,- 373 miles. The year shows an increase on the previous otio of 3,038 miles. The aggregate cost of the roads is $4,821,763,594, tho year showing an in crease in cost of $437,220,660. The capital stock is $6,190,997,486, and the debt, chiefly funded, $2,230,766,108. Thsl*)C Vc)Bt. of debt to total capital is 52.84; in other words, tho roads owe over half their nominal cost, which inebkles, of course, the sums appropriated by Credit Mobiliors ami Contract and Finance Committees. The average cost per mile is $60,425. The gross earnings, $520,466,026; working expenses, $330,895,058; not earnings, $189,570,558; amount of dividends, $67,042,942; the average dividend on stock, 3.39 per cent. Til ere was a doorcase of divideuds, compared Wit I) 187A, $77,767. •V comparison of roads in different sections of tho. country exhibits sumo curious features. Thus, tho roads in tiie Middle States, including West Virginia and the District of Colum bia, cost per mile $102,408. Tho New England roads cost $42,862 per mile, the Western r0ad5554,329, tire North ern toads, $35,978, and tho Pacific States roads $89,981. Tire receipts 18>r mile for the MiddleStutes is $14,- •180,; torthe New England States. SB,- 913; for the Western States, $0,029; for the Southern States; $3,870; for tbe Pacific juntos, $10,234. One fact whlert'ld'domos plainly t(stole is that railroading is not in itsell a profit able business. The amount i>aid as dividends the last year was equiva lent to 8.39 per cent, on the total capital stock, but this is a larger divalent, titan the roads in the aggre gate had a right to pay. This percen tage of divideuds is only maintained by a failure to pay interest, on bonds. London market gardeners pay S2OO per acre vearlv rent for tire land they oultivate, and their average profits are ssooper acre. <>n.lF.( r TEACHING. We glvo elacwhore an account, of the 'system of phonetic spelling tvs taught by pr. Washington’s Phonetic Chart. We offer the suggestion, that what is called “object-teaching,” also merits the attention of our teachers. Ry the chart the scholars uro taught their letters and tho power of letters at the same time, and by the time the shape Is learned the scholars are ready to go on with their spelling. The inode by which tho object-teach ing is effected, is somewhat similar, but more comprehensive, and, we think, should bo udded to tho other. A child is taught to understand the reason why study is necessary by these two systems, und education proceeds rapidly, and with less of the parrot-liko effort incident to the com mon system. Tho art of reading is made an interesting study to the child through tho medium of pictures and blocks, that aid the reasoning facul ties very materially. We believe it is susceptible of extended progress, and that, it is by far tho more interesting and convincing mode of acquiring knowledge. Tho European custom of excursions of pupils, with their teachers, among the Alps, or moun tains of other countries, or into mines and caverns or forests, is proof that Object-teaching is highly valued there. Surely Nature is tho most per fect of all educators, when aidei) by the trained professor, who fathoms the beauties and uses of a flower, or the tradition of ages as written upon the eliffor precipice or humble stone. Agussiz appreciated the value of object teaching when he carried with him a score of students to penetrate the forests of South America that he might educate thorn to become natur alists. It Was true that men can not become liberally oducated without this necessary preparation, either di rectly or indirectly, us it is true thut merely book-farming will never make a farmer. He must study tho laws of nature, the province of rain, of snow, frost,, cold and heat, as well as more median leal tillage, before ire can be come an ornament to a truly noble profession, if made a profession. The Agricultural College should make the pruning knife as familiar to the student as is tho scalpel to the medical student. The prnctloal and the thooretieal must go together, before the object for which theso col leges wore founded will be attained. Tuc laws of nature are as legibly written for those who have eyes and wish to sec, or hands and wish to work, as when “Tho Law” was writ ten on the tables of stone “by the finger of God” on Mt. Sinai, just af ter tho children of Israel were led out of Egypt by Moses. ur. WoslilnKtan'R l’lutiietlc Chart. John H. Davidson, Esq., stated that Dr. It. H. Washington, an able und experienced teacher, was present, and on ids motion Dr. Washington was invited to explain his mode of in struction in spelling by moans of his phonetic chart. Acting upon this courteous invita tion, Dr. Washington introduced three little girls, ail taught by his method. One of them, his own daugh ter, Miss Harah Eugenia Washington, aged seven years, find gone through the First Reader ia one week, had been through tho Fiftli Reader, and reud very correctly in the hearing wf the Board, an extrnoLeutitlod "School Time.” Another, Miss Alice Ivey, also seven years old, had learned her letters only last October, and showed great proficiency in reading from tin' Third Reader an extract called "Vio la.” Tho third, Miss Addio Tice, aged six years, learned her letters last February. In six weeks she ac quired tlie art of reading, and exhib ited her line progress in the admira ble manner in which she read the “Old Oaken Bucket" from tlie Sec ond Reader. The Phonetio Chart iw i feet wide and from 250 to 300 feet in length. It is of brown paper, rolled on two rol lers that work in posts one above and the other below, with tho chart ex panded between them and moved by either the top or bottom roller as it is wrapped over both. This (mart filled with letters, and graduated words from tho syllablo up to six syllables. Each consonant is united in one example with every vowel, as “bn, be, hi, bo, bu, by, and so on; and tho child’s oyo aud oar arc ed ucated to the sound ami shape of the letters aud syllables, at the same time that tho mind is quickened to active comprehension of the force of tho letters and tlie power of sylla bles, singly or in combinations, thus readily catching words. The advantages claimed for Dr. Washington’s Roller Phonetic Spel ling Chart may be briefly summoned up ns follows; Ist. It prevents the great waste of time, excessive tabor and extreme discouragement, consequent upon primary scholars’ learning grommer grado words by appropriately ar ranging the words upon primurv. intermediate and grammar-grade ohartes. For example, the words heir, sylph, j onymph. freight, guest, etc., are given them among tlie nionysy tables —symbol, sanguine, grandeur, cor sair, etc., among dissyllables—cuir assier, financier, etc., among trisyl lables. Now, the charts will be four feet wide, 250 to 300 foot long, will contain 2,000 to 2,600 wools, and to each chart will be allotted the appro priate words, amply sufficient for each grade. 2d. The scholars are taught their letters and tho power of the letter at the same time, and by the time tlie I shape is learned the scholars are ready to go on at once with the spell ing. 3d. Tlie third great advantage is In tlie control the teacher has over the attention of the scholars, thirty or forty being easier managed than five with books. 4th. The fourth advantage is in using tlie chart in such a manner as to enable the scholars to recognize a word at a single glance of t lie eye, and that facility of recognizing a word at a single glance is carried from the chart to the reader, ami of course tho progress must be more rapid than by tlie usual routine. sth. Tho fifth advantage is thut the activity of intellect can be so trained t hat many of the scholars will be able to learn a lessou with once spelling, instead of going over it from six to ] ten times as usually done. These advantages combined, will insure the adoption of the charts for each grade, throughout the country. The Trustees of tlie Fourth Ward very intelligently perceived the great advantages of such a chart, and au thorized Dr. AV., to make his trial sheet, and oar energetic and efficient School Commissioner approves it. and recommends its introduction into our common schools throughout the country. Tlie system is tlie blackboard method, simplified and adjusted by study and cxperic mv. Tim chart.-, will cost about $27 apiece, and each contains from 3,(Kioto 2,500 words. Col. Moore moved that the Phone? tie Chart system be referred to the Committee on Text Books, butaecep ted tho following amendment offered by Dr. West.: Resolved, That it shall be the duty of tlie Committee on Text Books to consider and report upon the merits of Dr. B. H. Washington’s Phonetic Spelling Chart. On motion, tho Board took an ad journment.- Augusta Constitutional tst. The Lynchburg News thus comes to the old of of General Preston : We fully appreciate the noble hos pitality of Boston, aud its generous j reception of Fitzhugh Lee. But we do not feel colled upon to denounce a I venerable gentleman like Gen. Pres-1 ton, because lie has spoken us most; old men feel. Surrounded by the wrecks of .Memory und of Hope, it is no easy task for the spirit to poise itself on the wings of Patience and Charity, und invoke blessings upon those who have made existence a ruin. Wo should at least remember' thut what this old man now says, we all of us ten years ago professed to believe. . ♦ • Tho people of Coushatta elected a set of municipal officers on what was termed the peoples’ ticket; but the elect not suiting Mr. Kellogg, lie has commissioned an entirely different “layout.” This is getting to tie an extremely common method of doing things in this .State, and the people seem as though they are beginning to think it is ull right. Very truth fully, writes a wise and observing man, “One precedent creates an other. They soon accumulate und constitute law. What yesterday was fact, to-day is doctrine. Examples are supposed to justify the most dun gorotis measures -and where they do uot suit exactly the defect is supplied by analogy .” —Shreveport Times.
