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 to kn n W.u muo.ed George \> ush fngton SieOrith/a’nd t ujusr have con f-ised hup with-.the oth'.o And as for Omaha, I’ll Ut you it is in .-B-xtc9, or iuur, Sor Biberm, or Some ot them places ; now is-n t it t •’.The board, Mr. Weaver, do nut think it worth white- we are here, I may is well menttor taat in that pueui • hich you wrote as an example tor the class tu English composition, we find rathcT too. much levity for such a smious mat! ter as the education ot children. .L i4 uot solely th*t you make * MuzeppM * t> ‘;*b|7.me with, ‘pepper, ©of J' ou cau3 £- "Truth Conquers All Things.” • fro ic tu thyme with 'colic, and' ‘Vuw el. with • bowels,’ but when you bring in ‘ heifer ’ as a rhyme with • zephyr th >. buatd feeis that you have probably “one a little too far, aud that your use fulness as a guide and instructor ot vuuth is. perhaps, ended. We think Mr Weaver, that we had better ask y<uj r o resign. And if you will permit me I wuuld offer you. in a friendly spit it t ie suggestion that if you can procun ■ ruianent “tnpluyment in a whitewash,- o establisht <eiil or as an operator up" n a saWshorse. perhaps your tntellectu u "ilts may find a higher and uton • o'dii! appreciation.” They are looking fur anew peda ■cue now who is. sounder on the cm nly received theories abuut things P ilude-fkin Bulletin.

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-, it g seen by the Prince It now turns out that it was, in all probabilities, most providential that the Prince did turn back, for in that street that was not if lluuiinated —a locality inh hi ed. as I am told, by some of the worst ear alters and most fanatical mnslems in De hi—a revolver, loaded in all its barrels, was found by the police, having beec evi dently hidden >r put out of the way. — Now a revolver in the jjlast is as un- DidMntlfQ Ttls'.comfjCotUin thp Far \V <t Tt*The.street r w4ero if w *s found ttfe conctUftton' arrived at ' when taken to-with the fact that the police nave sept the affair as quiet as possible, is that harm vfas iu leudud the Prince of Wales.” THE mostMKwuiuiti'fyus question awo ,U ever C 'Ue.d. imqu to...decide is, whuthgr tl>V of the uian she loves windfag her df'W.’oU wlDther she is tjdfdpuieh't to his earthly redeemer- 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 heigth of the “ party ” must have been 8i or nine feet.— (Jncinnati Gazette.
