Adopted by the Xonual Class. . "A place for everything and every- thing in its place" is good maxim, es pecially so for the teachers, for If there is any calling or avocation in life which requires order and exactness, it Is the business of teaching. Yet, how many teachers there are whose trans actions are kept in so loose and disor orderly a manner as to put to defiance all method or form ; and the task which otherwise would be pleasant and agreeable, becomes a tiresome and unsatisfactory undertaking. The merchant who wishes to be suc- cessful does not jumble his accounts together in an inextrica- ble way, but is careful to have every- thing arranged with order and pre- cision. His bqoks present a concise as well as copious exhibit of nil his af- fairs. It takes but a glance to ascer- tain the exact state of his business, whether prosperous or adverse ; and the task is performed with ease aud dispatch, which, if not systematical- ly arranged, would be arduous indeed. So, also, order in ali things h the mark of a good teacher. He cannot fail to command respect as a teacher, who is prepared if called upon, to ex hibit the exact standing ol his school n every department without spend ing a weary hour of toil in decipher- ing his vague and ambigious state- ment. To accomplish this purpose, much depends upou the form of the "Teachers' Schedule," which, to ar- range property, is often a dreaded task to the teacher. And then, fre quently, he finds that it does not meet every requirement; either it is unwieldy and inconvenient, or some exigency has been left unprovided. To meet these difficulties, to some extent, and contribute something to wards a system in education, we would present to the public the following schedule as a simple and comprehen- sive method of keeping a school reg ister. Although we do not claim that it is entirely original with us, we have introduced some improvements which cannot fail to be useful aud conven- ient. We have recommended a sys- tem of marking whioh will enable the teacher to "balance" his books at the end of each week so that it will require but a glance to ascertain the standing and attendance of each pupil and the average of the whole school for any day or week in the year. Also, at the end of the term this method will prevent the arduous and perplex- ing task, of which so many complain, of enumerating separate marks to ascertain the average attendance, which is unsatisfactory and uncertain at the best. Although some object- ions may be urged, we do not hesitate to present It to the public as a simple and comprehensive method, and would urge its adoption by the teach- ers of the State: " 1 iteesDS 00 Cl T.

An oblique line made from right to left denotes that the pu- pil was present in the forenoon, and an oblique line from left to right that he was present In the afternoon ; two oblique lines crossing each other that he Was present all day. 2d. Days Attendance. Id this col umn write the number of days each pupil ba3 attended during the week. 3d. Conduct Marls. In thi3 col umn write each pupil's standing for the week j what should be considered good and what bad conduct, and how it should be marked. The teacher must be his own judge. But we would suggest a method perhaps not without worth. Let ten be the high- est mark any pupil can obtain and five the medium mark. Then if the pupil neither receive a credit nor a de- merit mark, he will have the medi- um standing. If he receives an equal number of merit and demerit marks, they will balance each other, and his standing will still be five. If he re- ceives more merit than demerit marks, his standi hg Will be represented by a number greater than five : JE. G. . If he has received three merit marks and one demerit mark, hi3 standing will be five plus their difference or seven. If the pupil should receive more demerit than merit marks, his standing will be greater than five.; E. G. If he has received three de- merit marks and me merit mark, his standing will be represented by five, decreased by their difference or three. If he should receive a merit mark ev- ery day, at the end of the week he will receive ten for his standing, or the maximum mark provided there are no special marks. The merit mark is a small dot placed on the left of the attendance ' mark, thus X The demerit mark is a dot placed on the right of the attendance mark, thus X . If there are any special merit marks, generally called head marks, they are represented by a dot placed above the attendance- - mark, thus . 4th.' Total Days Attendance. Add the'numbers representing the weekly attendance from left to right and place the sum in this column. 5th. Total Days Absent. These are the difference between the number of days in the term and the days the pupil ha3 attended. 6th. Total Conduct Marks. These are found in the same manner as the attendance marks. 7th. The total attendance for each week is found by adding the numbers opposite each pupils name in the col umn designated ; E. G. Total days attendance for the first week in the model is twenty. 8th. The total conduct marks for each week is found in the same man ner. 9th. The average attendance and average standing lor eacn day are found by dividing the total amount by five ; E. G. The average atten dance for each day in the first week is four, and the average standing is six. 10th. The average attendance, the average number of pupils absent and the average standing for each day in the whole term, are found by dividing the same of each of their respective columns by the number of days in the term; E. G. In the model given, the average attendance is four, the average absence two and the average standing 6ix. The last three columns need not be added until the close of the term unless desirable. In 'the model we have only represented one month for want of space, but presume it will be sufficient to explain the design. For a convenient and. comprehen- sive method of keeping the term re- cord or making out the final report, we would call the attention of the public to "White's Common School Register," which will be found sim- ple and adapted to every requirement. The careful and candid considera- tion of every teacher is respectfully Invited to the above schedule, and if it is found to possess any merit, would urge itsadoption throughout the State. If improvement can be made or ob- jections urged, it is open for discus- sion; and we heartily invite an inter- change of views upon the subject. It is the object of the Normal Class, in presenting this and perhaps a series of articles to the public, to arrive at a general system of education, which is eminently essential for the harmo- nious working of our common schools. We shall endeavor, by compiling from standard authors and by sugges- ting various improvements of our own, to present a summary of the general principles necessary In the art of teaching, which will perhaps prove valuable aid to those teachers who have neither the time nor as efficient means for obtaining these facts. If we wish our common schools to be a success, we must adopt some method which will prevent a revolu- tion in the manner of instruction and school discipline each time a new teacher Is employed. Hence, we hope these reports which we pullish from time to time will not only prove val- uable hints, but that they will be put to a practical application. G. E. Howard, Committee. A liquor dealer in Indianapolis one day last week sold a customer from the country a jug of whisky. The next day, being dry, he tried to draw a morning's potation, but lo! it wouldn't run. Early in the day country customer cailed ipon the liquor dealer for explanation. "I'll swear! them d d boys have gone and sold you summer whisky! ' Here, boys, change this for winter whisky, and if ever !" Lc. - A young man in Lonisvtlle recent- ly examined a keg of damaged gun- powder with a red-ho- t poker, to see if it was good. It is believed by his friends that he has gone to Europe, although a man has found some hu- man bones, and a piece of shirt-tai- l, about twenty miles from Louisville. Speech A beaator Tipton before IT. S. Conjris Delivered February 11th, A5U Mr. IVsidcni: I expect to vote for tue Dinjor tne admission of Missis- sippi ; lit I do not understand thut it is necef&ry in doing so that I should investigte the past legislation oe mei country ior tne purpose or settsig any question of con sistencj I have never nnderstood that tli Republican party of this countryvvaa pledged to any system on that qition. They have never bean pledgetto the details of any system on tnarmestion. Whej the new State of Nevada came tlbe admitted she came in here with afonstitution that kuew noth ing wlitever in regard to this ques- tion oftnpartial or universal suffrage wueuine ocaie 01 AeorasKa came here vi had taken one step forward : the fofteenth amendment to the con- - stitu.tin had been adopted ; and then as aparty, naving.no established nol icy V this subject except that within the (institution of the United States. inteiied to protect the loyalty of the county, you required of Nebraska whatyou said had become necessary in yar onward progress toward the consilnmation of our reconstruction Thh, when another State from the boutlpresents herself, aud the ques- tion b how shall she be admitted, shamhe be admitted as Nevada? Perhiis so; that will depend upon the cfcumstances. Shall shecome in as JNbraska? Perhaps so. Who knowj? You do not know, sir ; I do notkbw; no man in this Chamber know until, he investigates the cir- cumstances under which she makes her atolication ; and then, without any pkcedent to bind us on the sub ject, fe within the pale of the Con stitute desire to do what is neces sary tiaccomplish the grand object of nnai au tnumpnant reconstruction. No lan, therefore, in this Senate Chamfer can talk to any one of us with rjard to preserving our consist- ency I what we shall vote for Missis sippi. 1 vote in regard to Mississippi to-day- lis my judgment dictates, and I wouii appl no part of that princi- ple tc Texas unless I thougl it absolutely necessary ; but when exas comes here if her case is peculh, standing on its own individ- uality,!: will vote for something so unheal of a3 perhaps to astound you if I bepve it is that which is neces sary tobring her in, tie up the inter ests omer people, and guaranty to them 1 republican form of Govern ment. So m!ch On the point of consisten cy. T(u ask me to impose upon thel mciiiucp vi tut; Ajeyismture 01 jlissis- - sippi tqJay an oath which i3 set forth in this jocument before us. I will not attempko do that, but if it is put upon the biilt will take the bill as thus amendd. I will not vote upon that proposion, and then when it is car- ried abadon the bill. I will uot stand here in by placeand advocate amend- ments tia bill, and after the bill is consummated with those amendments then tnrl upon the amendments and the bill.lbandon them entirely, and leavo theq to whatever fate may over- take theri. I shall under all circum- stances ve for the bill for the admis- sion of . Mississippi, when the hour comes. j protest against imposing this oath;upon her Legislature, be-ceu- se alre'dy an oath as strong has been impsed upou the members of that Legiiiture. They have sworn in the prebnee of Almighty God that they werehot disqualified as members of the Mississippi Legislature Uv virtue of m tliing in their State con- stitution p the Constitution of the United Sktes; and the Constitution of the Uiied States, by reason of the fourteentl amendment adopted, rules them ever one out if they have been guilty of he crimes specified in that fourteentl amendment. When, there- fore, a mm be r of the Legislature of Mississipi takes that oath prescribed by the Jate, he takes an oath, a searchingpne, which will admit of no evasion ojhis part. I say, therefore, thattheathl hold in my hand as being thi oath administered to the membersbf the Legislature has al- ready pured that Legislature of a few men, or riher, perhaps, more proper- ly speakjig, there were some men offering tfcmselvea as members who could notjake their.places under that oath of tfcir own, so broad, so com- prehensive so practical. I am will- ing, thenl to leave the interests of Mississipi and the loyal people of Mississippi to that oath which they themselvti have incorporated into their constitution. Now, Jr. President, in regard to the questn of voting, it is proposed toputinfcis bill a restriction upon them prodding that they shall never hereafter h all coming time change their congitujion from the basis on which it rjsts to-d- ay on the question of the rigit to exercise the elective franchise') What have they done on that subjex? They have declared, in the spiritof tne fourteenth amend- ment, thi every man lorn in the State of Mississippi and living there, and evarpcitizen of the United States residing here a certain time, shall have the ight of exercising the elect- ive francHse. That they have guar antied. What else have they aone? They hae adopted the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United Suites, and by that they have declared hat neither the constitution of the Stste, nor the Constitution of the Unite! Stateshall ever be amend ed so as toabridgs the right of exer- cising theelective franchise. Could they havegone further? 'Ihenthey would ha& been compelled to go fur- ther, and teaching to eternit;', stretch their limibtation beyond the confines of time. They have not only said that in regird to the exercise of the elective fnnchise, but they have thrown thk door open, and in their State Legislature at home have per- haps thirtycolored men as represent- atives of tint people in the Legisla- ture of the tate of Mississippi. Will you be satisied with that? Are they'honest on that subject? They have adopted the fifteenth amendmentto the Constitution of the United Stats; and if that to-da- y is the fundamental law, if twenty-eig- ht States of th Union have voted for it and withh ten days the twenty-nint- h will b? registered, for Nebraska will set her leal to the principle with- in ten days Ironi this hour the- State of Mississipji is bound by it until it is stricken by a constitutional amend ment out of the Constitution of the United States. Is there any strength in that? Suppose that is not the fund amental law, then what? Then It is the deliberate expression of the people of Mississinri a3 a nledfre to you. It wa3 a condition precedent that j'ou required of tiem before they should come here and occupy their place in the sisterhood of States; They com plied with it : and if it ia not yet constitutional amendment by a suffi cient number of States voting, for it, it is still a condition-precede- nt on the State of Mississippi to-da-y, and you can not make it more . bindinp; by .. . !fc ti I .11 - saying mat n, ena.il do considered a condition-precede- nt two, three, or four times over. You ask me to repeat it on Missis- sippi. I am satisfied that she has her- self made it a condition-preceden- t, and that is what I am concerned to know. If you want a condition-preceden- t, you have got it. If yon want her under the power of the Constitu- tion of the United States, you have it, if the Constitution is really amended in that behalf. Is she honest? She seems to act very much so. What else do you want her to pledge herself to? She has shown not only her desire to grat- ify the extreme of radicalism on this question, but she sends here what Massachusetts cannot do and what Ohio cannot do ; she sends here a rep- resentative of the colored race as a Senator. Is that mark enough for you ? Can you stand that, or do you desire something else after she has done all that? She ha3 lifted up the race, placed them in her legislative halls, sent them here and inhtalled them In the Capitol of the nation; and yet you say to her, "Are you in earnest? We doubt you. You seem to act rather plausible on the subject ; but really we think we will j He up some fundamental conditions on you to hold you." You are afraid to trust thirty thousand colored majority in the State of Mississippi, for fear here- after they will refuse to send you oth- er representatives of their race, for sooth I What would you not distrust if you are not willing to be satisfied on the basis of what the State has al- ready done for you ? Then you say that in some future time, some time intervening between now and the sounding of Gabriel's trump, you are afraid Mississippi will undertake to change her law on the subject of education. Is that any of your business? Can you say to my little State of Nebraska that she shall never change her laws on the subject of educotion ? She may change them when she pleases, and she will ask nothing of you or of this Congress, and after she has changed them she will be amenable only to the Consti- tution of the United States. And if thirty thousand majority of colored men if a colored party in Mississippi linked hand in hand with a lar:e white vote as Republicans if they with thirtv thousand colored maioritv are noS abr to take care ef their edu- cational interests, then appoint an ad ministrator for them, and leave the State out until she can take care of herself. No, sir ; it is a magnificent farce ; it is a consumation of radicalism run mad to say that you will not trust a people who have thus done every- - thintr and a little more than some of you desired them to do. I welcome her here on the basis of her radical ism ; I welcome her here on the prin ciples of her constitution ; I welcome here her representatives or both races. I claim that it is an insult to her to talk to her in regard to the probabili- ties of her going back upon herself. of these men there going back upon themselves. Therefore I would leave in her hands to-da- y the interests of the State and the destiny of her peo ple, and take her as an ally In the fu- ture march for the consummation of all that we have politically desired iu this matter, rather than doubt her for a i one moment wnen sne nas aone ev- erything you required her to do, and when in your law you pledged j'our- - self to her hat when she presented herself here, having done that, she hould be admitted. You claimed no control over her further than that, and simplv- - desired to look into her action to see whether she had acted in accordance with the law. The law said "adopt the four- teenth amendment." She has done it. The law said "adopt the fifteenth amendment." She has done it. The law did not ask her to go so far as she has gone in showing that she is in earnest in regard to this matter by sending here joint representatives of the two races ; but she has done that ; and now, forsooth, because you thought . Georgia had gone back upon r .a you, tneretore you tnougnt it neces- sary to put a certain bill with its con- ditions upon Virginia, and now to be consistent the truly loyal State of Mississippi is to be put through the same process. I vote first against the conditions proposed, believingthem to be unnec essary; hut if they snail oe aaoptea by the Senate 1 shall yield id them, and vote for the bill for the admission of the State of Mississippi. Confidential. We hear a good story of a man who went to the fron tier to see a Tr end, 'ine ramiiy con- sisted of the husband, his wife and two grown sons. The good old lady was the only one of the family who did not take a little of the "O oe joyful." Sitting by the fire a few minutes, the old man tipped mm a wink, and the visitor followed him out. Stopping by a tree, he pulled out a lo.ng necked bottle, remarking, "I have to keep this hid, for the hoys might get to drinking, and the woman would raise the d 1." They took a drink and returned to the fireside. Soon Tom, the eldest son asked the visitor out to see a colt, and taking him behind the barn, pulled out a flask, remarking "I have to keep, this hid, for the old man will get drunk, and the d i is to pay ;" and they both took a drink and returned, boon Bob stepped on the visitor's toes and walked off, the visitor following. As they reached the pig pen, Bob drew out a good sized bottle, remarking, "You know the old man ana Aom will get drunk, and I have to hide this." The visitor concluded he couldn't stand it to drink confiden- tially against the whole family and started for home. The Nic.ht Lamp. There are many families who use night lamps, and through inability to provide gas, have been in the habit or ourning kerosene oil, a very good thing when Droperlv used. A few words on the subject of its use at night may prove interesting to tne general reauer. When the light of the kerosene lamp is turned down low, the combustion is not perfect, and the atmosphere of the room becomes vitiated by the uncon-aume- d oil vapors, by the gas produced by combustion, and also legitimate particles of smoke and soot thrown off. to be taken into the lungs of the occupants. Air thus poisoned is dead ly in its effects, and the wonder is tiiat the people are not immediately and fatally injured by breathing it Its are the unaccounta ble and mysterious headaches, irrita- tion of throat and lunsrs. dizziness and nausea.

Fron 'The Woman Who Pared," by Epesttorjent, published by Pjberts Brothers. View cn St. John's Rirer, Florida. We are up bright and early and rush for the forward deck. We have passed some fi le scenes during the night, but now a lovely vision bursts upon us. We are in a narrow part of the river juat" acove Lake George, so narrow that w occasionally touch the foliage on either bauk. While below all was in winter costume, here almcstevery-thin- g is dressed in lovely green. The deciduc us trees r,re just in early leaf, in that light green which is so fresh and beautiful; the wild p'um is loaded with white blossoms; an occasional maple with scarlet seed brightens the scene, cud mfngled with ail are pal- mettos, live oaks, with hanging mos3, and loity pines. The banks of the river are low all the way with an oc casional exception, and alone: the edges are beautiful borders of pond lillles, ith yellow blossoms, the leaves of dark, rich green, with wild lettuce and rank weeds to add to the variety. Often our boat runs over the lillies in roundirg the beniis of this very crooked river, and brushes against the trees. All day long we sit on the upper-forwar- d deck and watch the mulitude of living creatures. There is an alligator on yonder shore you insist that it is a log, until you sec it slipping into tne water with a heavy lumber ng movement. On that log jutting out into the stream is a large turtle. Lo! he slips away as we ap- proach. There is a small squad of ducks. :lying close to the water and beating it as they fly with a musical sound. The huge bird with a long neck ar d legs, that can hardly balance itself as; it flies, is a blue crane, and as it rests on yonder tree-to- p you see it stands'fully three feet high. That beautiful bird that you can see at such a long distance ia the white crane. There .is a lively bird crossing our bows; it. Is a kingfisher. Whew! wiiat ar. unpleasant odor! an army of buzzartr tell the tale of a dead alliga- tor on the banks. The birds are offen- sive to the eye, but imperatively de- manded in this latitude. But I can not tell you all ; the river seems alive with these I have named, and coots, rails, snipe, ibis, flamingoes, snake-bird- s, or water turkeys, velvet ducks, and everything a traveler would wish to see or sportsman to kill. Prairle Sod as Fuel. A correspondent of the Iowa Home- stead writes as follows, concerning the subject of the future supply of fuel. We here in Illinois, with our almost limitless supplies of coal, arc perhaps not so immediately interested a3 are the people of the less favored States, but even with us it will do no hai m to experiment with other substances. "I agree with Prof. Hinrichs, of the State University, that the great fuel makers of the earth are the sunlight and air. Fuel is all around us, partic ularly beneath our feet. Prairie sod, cut a few inches thick with a breaking plow, in mid-summe- r, aud put away in a dry shed, makes the very best of fuel. Do you suppose that the people of Omaha and Council Bluffs who pay three or four prices for cottonwood fuel, and dirty soft coal, more than half clinker and brimstone, know this? . When prairie sod can not be procured, that from any pasture is equally good, provided it is dried and kept so. 1 put a lot or or it away last fall, and have been using it extensive- ly this winter. A sod a foot square retains its shape fcr twenty-fou- r hours if not broken up, and gives out a sur- prising amount of heat. Turf, as it is called, is the only fuel used by the Irish peasant, where peat is not found. This reminds me that every ciyv which does not wash out with a cur- - rent, in the State of Iowa, and every other State, 13 filled with this valua ble carbonaceous deposit 'waiting onl3 for man to dig out in a dry time, and keep him warm nnd cotnfortabie by its cheery heat. It is the very best of fuel ; far superior to any coal that we have, and exists In unlimited abun dance every where. While on a trip across the Statedurlng the excessively dry season of 1S54, 1 saw a great many of these deposits, which had been set on fire by camping immigrants, which burned for months, and made holes six feet deep in the ground. A benefi- cent Providence has been much more kind and attentive to tha unworthy dwellers here below than is generally supposed. There is certainly no lack of fuel anywhere, if we look for it properly." Harry M'Arthy used to tell of an Irishman who was seen at the trench- - m a v a a es or xorKtown noiaing ins nanas above the earthwork. His captain asked : "What are you doing that for Pat?" He replied with a grin and a work- ing with his fingers : "I am feelin' for a furlough, sure !" Just then a minnie-ba- ll struck his arm below the wrist. Slowly draw ing it down ami grasping it with the other hand to restrain the blood, a queer expression of pain and humor passed over hi3 race as he exclaimed : "An' faith, it's a discharge!" Deacon B. a very piou3 man, was noted for his long prayers, especially In his family. One Monday morning the old gentleman and his wife were alone, and, as was his custom, after breakfast a prayer was offered-- . There being an unusual amount of work that day, the Deacon's prayer was short, and seeing his hat and milk-pai- l, he started for the barn. His wife, being deaf, did not notice his absence, but supposed him to be still engaged in prayer. On his return from milking, he was surprised to find-he- r still kneeling. lie stepped up to her and shouted "Amen," when she immediately arose and went about her work ad if nothing had happened. A colored man at Roanoke, N. C, was found in a neighbor's cabbage patch on his knees. He said it was queer a man couldn't go "no whar" to pray without being interrupted, lie was left to h'13 devotions, and in the mornimr. simrularlv enoush. it was found he had prayed offthe heads or hair the cabnagos in tne garden. j. tic yi aj vi ui iiivtiu lwu tvi-t- in right smart c.f yur kraut.

When tho suffering manifest itself, eat one or two or the kernel, and after a few days the symptom will disappear. The remedy la simple, cheap and harmless, and, best of ail, effectual. Dr. Chapin says that every voun? lady should jump at the chance of marrying a mehanic. A good respect able mechanic could not do better than let some of them jump a lonjf time before he married them.
