THE CIIVIIPIOV SCHOOL
TEACHER.
His Progressive Ideas and Nov
el Solious Regarding History
and Grammar.
In one of the townships of a neigh •
boring county there have been recently
some complaiuts about the inefficiency
of a teacher in a public school named
Weaver, and a short time ago the Board
of Supervisors, having collected some
facts concerning his method of instruc
tion, summoned him before them, and
the President examined Weaver in re
ference to the matter. lie said :
“Mr. Weaver, the board is not satis
fied entirely with your way of impart
ing instruction to the youthful mind,
and we called you before us to-day to
ascertain what the general drift of your
purpose was on certain occasions that
have come Under our notice, when you
have been giving the boys what you
seem to have considered useful informa
tion upou a variety ot topics. For
instance, Mr. Weaver, in teaching the
history class, we feel compelled to take
exception to your views when you assert
that Benjtman Franklin was shot at
the battle of Agiucourt, and that Neb>
uchkdnezzar was King of Italy, and
played the fiddle while Quebec was
burning. You may possibly have later
information u< on those topics than has
reached the rest of us. but the commu
nity is prejudiced against these views,
and they make you unpopular.”
“ I don’t recollect saying that,” said
Weaver, “ but just as likely as not 1
may have said Agineourt instead of
Waterloo and got Nebuchadnezzar mix
ed up with William the Conqueror I
was sick that day and my mind didn’t
work right somehow.”
“Ad beside Mr. Weaver, we feel as
if we ougnt to direct your attention to
the fact that you were wrong when you
instructed the class in grammar that
Martin Van liuren is an adverb and
that the .vord hungry’ is a personal pro
noun. These mistakes are serious
enuogh, buCwhen you flogged a scholar
because he insisted that ‘ bucolic ’ was
not an intransitive preposidou and that
it did not represent a species of stom
ach ache, it seems to tne board that you
went a little too far ”
“ It Wasn’t for that I whipped him,”
said Mr. Weaver, “ it was because he
put a pin iu my chair. 1 was only in
fun about those things I knew well
enough Martin Van Huron was an ad
je. live.”
“ Well, sir, that may or may not be a
satisfactory explanation. But the board
would be glad to know your authority
tor the statement that Garibaldi was a
Saracen who fought against the Crusa
ders, and that he received his name
from the fact that he was bald-headed ?
You see the parents of the children
complain about this thing They don’t
like it. They say it poisons the minds
of the little ones, and it makes parents
mad ”
“Tara sorry,” replied Weaver, “ but
I hold those views c nscienttuusly, and
I’m going to stick to them ”
“ But such a theory will hardly avail
to explain why you asserted to the class
iu arithmetic that vulgar fractions were
so cahed because only blackguards use
them and why you made Mr. Coyle’s
buy go down tout for saying that there
was 'wo halves to an uppie. The couw
utunily is indignant at these things,
sir, and when they learn that you taught
those lit le innocents to spell ‘ dog
d-a-w-g, I am seriously afraid that pub
lic seutiment wiT be strong in favor ol
having resource to violent measure-'. —
Now you certainly know that there is
no respectable au hority for spelling the
name of that useful animal and a-w-g;
I I is preposterous. It shows a, want ol
a proper sense of the fitness of things,
now don’t it?”
“ Well maybe it does. But I’ll te’l
vou. Every body spells dog the other
way, and a-u g, and it struck me that it’d
bo a good idea for my scholars to start
out on a fresh, oiigiual basis; to get
up son ething new and startling and
refreshing in the dog line, aud so I
threw d-a'W-g out as a kind of iideaa — a
mere suggesti n. you understand, with
uut intending to insist on it. But 1 dot) t
mind cofliing: down on that I’ll give
it to them the old way if you insist on
it."
a Very well. But v.hi'e tve nrego
ing over"the mat er permit me to urge
that you could have had no respectable
authority for telling the school that
Omaha is the capital of Mexico, and
that the Revolutionary war begn ina
1812 ; aud still less is there any wur
rant for your assertion to the pupils in
history that the middle,name of Gener
al Washington was McGrath —George
McGrath Washington. This sort of
education of the i”fant mind attracts
attention and excites remark. It brings
ridicule upon the sacred name ot - the
Fat he! ot his Country, aud leads the
children afitfay respecting he geograph
ical location of Omaha. It is wrong,
sir—all Fqurd cun t put
up with ic ”
“ Well, the way I came to do that, 1
s’pose,” said Weaver, “ was that I used

The mule is the most unhealthy ani
mal in the world—unhealthy to have
around.
The very atmosphere about a mule is
dangerous to inhabit.
We have money to bet that wh n
nature made the first mule someone
Ltot hurt.
A mule is always “ at home,” as you
will find by calling upon one of the
“critters.”
He is continually possessed of a
yearning to stretch himself—especially
in his hind legs.
We have known this yearning to
make t-ouble in several families.
Any wound which a mule happens
to give you may ve;y properly be called
an a-bray-sure.
Be careful that you are never “YYOund
up” in his way.
A mule is a great prophet.
He can prophe-y a man’s sudden ill
n iss or death twenty fret off.
1 his makes him very profitable to
doctors and undertake!s
}]a is also p 'ssessed of great heeling
power.
The saying that a bright jewel lies
deeply buried in the end of a mule’s
tail is a delusion and a snare. I know
from experience.
Mule meat may be a good diet for a
Frenchman but not for beef raising
Yankees.
The less mule meet a man has the
better
The only way that we could be per
suaded to eat a mule would be to b eat
him.
Likewise, the only way we could be
got to ride a mule would be to decide
him.
And the darky was right when he
said that the only way to “lub” a mule
was to “c lub” him.
No man ever seas a mule kick him.
The man is usually seized will) ob
scured visions just at that juncture.
We have seen a man get up alter a
mule had kicscd him (very rarely
though) ana swear with both hands up
lifted that he didn’t believe the animal
h‘<d stirred apeg —he looked so immo
vable and unconceuied.
A mule is a very “quick” animal.
G"eat quantities of this substance lies
hidden away beneath his toe calks.
Caution —Take our word for this,
and don’t go hunting around in that
vicinity.
You can’t weigh a mule with any
sort of accuracy.
An ounce of mule weighs more than
a pound of any other live stock.
And no matter what his condition
may be a mule is bound to kick the
I cam.
The only beam which a mule cannot
kick is a sunbeam
But he can knock the beam out of a
man’s eye with greater accuracy than
any ott er influence
In this respect he is a regular mot or
power.
Asa great explorer the mule is equal
to Stanley.
When he goes exploring for a man
he always finds him.
The safest nlace to stand by a mule
does not exist.
He is the dynamite fiend of the four
legged kingdom.
We have often wished that some
“bunko” man would try to “rope in” a
mule.
He would never be worth a row’pins
agin.
The mule B a very headstrong beast.
He is likewise exceedingly beel
strong.
The mule—but blame a mule, any
way.
Tie India correspondent of the Lon
don Echo tells the following ratlmi far*
fUclied story, which appeared oriental
ly in the Delhi Gazette: Tt seems
that'on' the day th city <£ Delhi was
illuminated, the I rince, his suite, the
Lieutenant Governor of the Punjaub.
and a large party went on a picnic to
some place of interest a few miles from
the city. It was arranged that on
their return, which would be-after dark,
the party should pass through, the
streets of Delhi, which were to illu
uiited in hop of of LI is Royal Highness
visit But on their arrival at the gates
of the town it was found that tlie first
str.et they had to pass through was not
illuminated, and then, whether for this
or some other reason, the whole party
turned aside and went to their several
destinations, the Pricnce and suit going
direct to the royal ca p. So ‘ar I can
vouch for the story being true, and rec
ollect perfectly weU that many of the
Delhi people grumbled at the iliumiua*
tions. which had cost the people much
care and a good deal of money, "ot be-,

out that it was, in all probabilities, most
providential that the Prince did turn
back, for in that street that was not if

and most fanatical mnslems in De hi—a

In Advance,
Age of the Sexes*.
Dr. Lambert, president of the popu*
lar life insurance company of .New
i ork, gave an interesting lecture in
the Day State course, at music hall.
Doston, on woman and her nature, du
ties, needs and entitlements.
Dr. Lambert, in a good natured man
ner, spoke of his peculiar trout meat of
the subject, and said it was a new,lec
ture, and gavo a little sketch of his
own history. Coming directly to the
lecture itself, he discussed the question
of the comparative iength oi life of
American men and women, and between
people of this country and those of
Europe. He showed statistics to prove
that contrary to the popular
the people of New Yosk were longer
lived than those of the-old world.
The Lnglish girls, so often spoked of
for blooming cheeks and robust forms,
owed these qualities to their out door
lile, the damp coldness of their native
island, and tlwir loudness lor the na
tional beverage, beer. The faet was,
the women in this country were longer
lived than the English women. There
probably was no place in Europe where
so many old people could be found in
proportion to the population as in New
Hampshire, and three out of every fout
of the people who had reached the age
of ninety years in New Eampshiro
were women.
i he constitution of woman was sub
stantially the same as the constitution
ot man, and the duration o their earth
ly -existence, as a general rule, on the
American continent was the same.—
Eliding into the peculiar marks and
formations of the body as indicate''ns of
long or short life, the lecturer said that
il a lady wore a heavy ear-ring, and the
car was pulled down in consequence,
presenting a distorted appearance, this
indicated a short life to the owner of
the weak member. On the contrary,
should the ear retain its natural posi
tion over a heavy ring, the strength of
the gristle pointed to a long life to (he
owner.
And so with fingers. If a hand had
veiy short fingers, that had an indica
iion of longevity, whereas long fingers
were indicative ef a short span of life.
It was not found that the proportione
ate number of men and women dying
at the different ages varied material]}'.
Af er reaching the age of twenty a
girl was as liable to live to a good ripe
old age a3 a man at the same period. As
a rule,female, beauty ar and longevity were
not companions ; those azure eyes and
very fair faces that carry off short lived
young men are not long-lived.
Another wonderful fact was the
change going on in the body. The air
of the hail was at that time lull of par.
tides of the b ans and organizations of
those present. Eyery dav, every hour,
aye, everv moment, wm-kcd a change in
every living form. The speaker said
he would like to see women withdraw
ir ui the post offices, counting rooms
and other positions of labor where they
wer half paid, and young men put i;i
and paid double the amount of wou.cn.
Then the'men could support the woo
men.
Every may had a woman beside him,
and should work for her instead cf hay
ing her earn her living outside of the
ho use hoi 1 The young men, he thought,
oueht not to be crowded out of the
places and sent West. den of long
life usually had some great and strong
principle in their character, some 8 am
ina which symbolized a vigorous and
enduring vitality.

The Skeleton of an Ancient
Giant. —Two miles north of Bloom*
irjgsburg, in Payette county, bones were
found about three feet below the surface,
in a sitting position. Unfortunately
the skull and some of the principal
bones were broken in removal. The
thigh bones are about six inches longer
tliau those of the present generation. —
The skull is very large, sloping back
above the eyes to the top of the head.
Avery marked characteristic is the
thickness of the skull, it being at least
twice the thickness of modern skulk.—
The Uiafcsive under jaw, with every
tooth perfect, is a curiosity. The
