tlmensions." fiTjira
I use the expression iyranU in the
old Greek sense, though perhaps the
tyrants of our boys too often be called
so In modern sense as well.
I exclude parents and relatives from
toe category of rulers of boys. My
professional prejudices forbid me to
admit them as regular practitioners.
It is a maxim received -among domln
ies that parents are no more fit to rule
their sons than philosophers of the
rusning school are to rule jngiana.
I heir political economy Is all sent!
ment. They refuse to believe that
pets can do wroug, they uphold John
ny's iroodness of heart, and carl m
Bobby '8 boncEty, with a pertinancy
wnicu-ostor. jsLea the unprejudiced
observer of these young gentlemen's
conduct. And even if they are oblig
ed by the stern logics of facts to recog
nize that darling Johnny and darling
jJooDy are not all they ought to be.
they find comfortable phrases with
vrhlch to palliate the harsh disclose-
Lnres, nnd save their beloved ones from
the consequences Vrhlch ought to at
tend all deviation from the right path.
Darlinir Johnny when ill-tempered
and selfish is declared to have "a pecu-
disposition," and it is discovered that
severity does not answer when he is
discovered stealing the sugar. An
e flection ate parent once informed me,
with regard to a new pupil, that I
must not be Burpised to find that his
son had "a strong imagnatlon." 'Ihls
I very soon discovered to be a paternal
and euphemestio way of putting the
unpleasant fact that the boy was the
most inveterate liar i ever met witn.
There is no straw or sentiment so
small that consanguineous affection
will not seize hold of it to escape the
unpleasant though sometimes necessa
ry duty of dragging the child out of
the way in wnicn ne snouia not go.
An old lady or my acquaintance
occasionally speaks to me in great
tribulation about a grandson of hers,
who is indisputably addicted to lying
and other disagreeable peculiarities
of disposition. But I don't like to
punish him she says because his
mother's dead, and his father's far
away at sea. So in right of his dead
mother and nautical father, my young
friend is growing up to be a curse to
nlmself and society.
This is the way in which these Jg
norant people trifle with the education
of their boys. And we dominies,
even we, who think so much ar our
selves, and who see with such clear
eyes the faults of other people's chil
dren, and are so prompt to apply the
proper remedies, we must confess-that
when we come to deal with our own
offspring, we are as much in the dark
as much liable to human error, as our
lay fellow-Ncreaturea. Who ever heard
of a school master who could think
and- deal with his own son just as he
thought and dealt with the sons of
others ? This miracle of impartiality
has never fallen within my experience
atiatst. Either the master will be
too Indulgent toward his own boy, or
in his anxiety to avoid this extreme,
he will fly to the other, and be too
savage.
I have seen a schoolmaster who
would have snubbed in the m6st
ferocious manner any rash pupil that
dared for a moment to be familiar
with him. I have seen such a man
disgusting a whole company by en
couraging his own brats to give utter
ance to precocious impertinences.
And I have known another school
master genial and kindly to all his
other pupils, but stern, reserved, and
almost cruel to one of them who had
the misfortune to be his own son.
We think it irregular and improper
for a father to educate his own son,
just as a medical man would be shock
ed if a layman, however intelligent,
were to prescribe for himself a dose of
. . Ail A f 1 1
juiep wiinout la&ing proieesionai an
vice. And as few doctors will under
take their own cases, but emyioy a
brother Esculapius when they fall
sick, so most wise teachers prefer to
have their sons educated by another
member of the craft, who will bring
to workan unimpassioued professional
judgment, and not be likely to mar it
by prejudice or sentiment.
So much must be said to justify my
assertion that-schoolmasters are the
only fit and legitimate rulers of boys.
EDUCATION.
Hillsdale, July 23, 18G9.
Editor of the Nebraska A dvertUer :
The subject of the duties and re-
epodsibilities of School Officers and
others having charge of the youth of!
of our country, is one of stupendi
ous nronortions. and upon which a
volume might and ought to be writ-
written, but in the absence, of Any
suclryolume, a few suggestions from
one who takes much interest in pub
lic schools, may not be untimely.
To begin with school officers, let us
first look at the County Superinten
dent of common schools, and consider
his duties to the public. He should
be selected from among the practical
teachers of the county, and should be
known to be a "progressive" man;
that is, one who is ready and willing
to use every elfott to Improve the
mode of teachinir according to the
latest revelations of science, and not
one of those who claim that the' "old
system" is best, because he does not
understand the new, and is perhaps
tnn mnrh tjrrittdiced against new
prejudiced against
things to take the pains to Inform him-
self. In other words, he should be a
tive" man. - . . .
In regard to hisseleetiori of teachers,
he ahould "be thoroughly conversant
rifli thn mtfilifirntions of a teacher.
and should have a standnfd' by which
to be guided, and make it an unfailing
criterion in his examinations, and
from which he should never swerve,
except when solicited by district Cf2
cers. He should have Ume to attend to the
duties of his office, and no one should
be selected for the position who is en
gaged In other business, to 6uch an
extent that his own affairs must sufTer
from his neglect or that of the public,
for 'in ninety-nine cases out of one
hundred his cntn will be attended to,
though the interest of the public suf
fer ever so much by his neglect.
The law compels him to grade certi
ficates in a prescribed manner, but a
teacher of ability should receive such
recommendations and encouragement
by the Superintendent as ttiil rIafe
him in his proper position before the
public, who are Cot gcnerarly quali
fied to select teachers.
Next after the Superintendent, we
come to epeali of the District Officers.
BROWNVILLE, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 5, 1869.
Thev are cenerallv chosen from
amongst those of the district who take
most interest In the school, (tnougn
there are exceptions to thi3 rule,) and
they frequently tike some pains to
procure suitable teachers, and to keep
the school house in such order that
the teachers and nunils can enjoy a
reasonable degree of comfort, and
having done this, they feel that they
have accomplished all that is required
of them," and no doubt congratulate
themselves on the efficient manner in
which they have filled the office. But
this is a mistake. The man who
holds the position of a school district
officer, and from one year's end to an
other never condescends to show hi3
face in -the school room, while the
school is In session, fails utterly and
entirely to fulfill the requirements of
his ciuce.
How, how many district officers are
there in Nemaha county who visit
their schools and know how they, are
conducted? I will venture to say
thafrnot cue fourth cf them, and if the
auction was. asked, "how many-of
them do their duty in the premises,"
1 might safely say not one tenth or
them. ...
They do not mean to slight the
teacher, but they are willing that he
shall have it all his own way. and if
rumor says he kept a good school they
are satisfied to take rumor's word for
it ; if the contrary, they regard it as a
matter over which they haa no
control.
Now. there may be teachers to whom
this is agreeable, but I, for one, would
rather have my employers call on me
occasionally, even though it was to
disapprove. Then there would be a
chance to vindicate my position, or if
my course was an Improper one, ana
they convinced me of It, I could pur
sue some other, and they could per
haps point out the proper one.
Under the circumstances the only
wonder is that the common schools
are as efficient as they are.
.Lastly, the grave subject of the du
ties of parents in regard to the district
schools shall engage my attention for
a short time, and so far from being
able to speak of this fully in this ar
tide, I fear 1 shall no be able to no
tice but a few of the many errors
which parents commit.
Jbirst of all, the parent who designs
placing his children under the-care of
a teacher, ought to strive to become
acquainted with the teacher, and to be
ready to encourage him at all times,
and to advise when necessary : and
most of all, to impress his children
with the idea that the teacher is their
friend, and will do all in his power to
elevate and enoble them, and that
their success depend3vrery much on
the attention which they pay to his
teaching.
But instead of this, some, even good
citizens, never, become acquainted
with the teacher personally, or If they
do, never offer a word of sympathy or
encouragement, and n he is vi I lined
by the petty minded, is ready to
shrink from him. and treat him as a
condemed criminal, with no better evi
dence than the neighborhood gossip.
Then there are those who are too of-
flcIousr offering advice where it is not
needed, and prescribing to the teacher
the course he must take, with "so and
ao'8" children, and crraveiy giving a
history of ."so and so," all with a de
sign of working out some selfish mo
tive, but with no good intentions to
ward the teacher.
Then the credulous class, who
easrerly drink in every word their
children say about the school and
teacher, and become convinced that
the school is a nuisance, and instead
of inquiring into the truth of "Young
America's" statement, forthwith set
about circulating reports about the
school and teacher, with such addi
tions as they think will make, the
matter look more plausible, until they
work themselves up to the point that
they really believe their own stories,
and full of wrathful indignation pro
claim the teacher a knave, etc.
I know l ought to stop here, but a
few more remarks are essential to
make me understood.
I do not mean this is general, by
any means, but l fear it is the rule,
and the opposite the exception in the
whole North-west.-
Parents are evidently earless about
sending to school, negligent about
preparing their children to attend,
and too much inclined ttt listen to the
idle reports of petty minded men and
women, instead of cultivating the
acquaintance of the teacher and help
ing him in his vocation.
Too many expect the teacher to
perform impossibilities, and because
he fails they are ready to cry out,
"knaver or imposters."
One more class 1 want to mention.
which I would not notice if thev
were not so numerous, l mean those,
wno ior every onence, supposed or
real, take their children out of the
school, and thus encourage them to
persist in misconduct at school, and
finally bring them up blockheads or
knaves, and then cry out against the
schools to which they refused to send.
How often l have observed that a
parent was ready to take offense at the
teacher for the very thing they ought
to ttiank him for, and to declare that
if their children must be insulted
they would keep them at home, and
the boy, proud of having created a
disturbance between hi3 parents and
teacher, becomes from that time a
confined loafer.
One more item I had nearly forgot
ten, namely, text-books. The teacher.
if he knows his business, will never
advise a change in textbooks, unless
tne change is demanded, and then if
the parents refuse to make such a
change, he ought to refuse to hear
their children's lessons.
Of all the detriments to the success
of teachers in the west, I consider va
riety of books the greatest, and in this
the Superintendent ought to interfere.
for parents will not act on the sugges
gesuon oi teachers

Total eclipses are of very rare oc
currence. . For instance, one ha3 not
been seen In London" since 1715 ; and
previous .to that time, none had been
seen for live and a half centuries.
The earliest account of an eclipse is
lound in the Chinese annals. It is
thought to be the solar eclipse of Oc
tober 13th, 2127 B. C. On May 28th
584 B. C, one occurred which had been
predicted by Thales
.barly .English, writers often refer to
eclipses. William of Malmesburg
thus writes of the eclipse of Aucrust
za, 116J, which was generally consid
ered as a presage of calamity to Henry
I; "The elements manifested their
sorrows at this great man's last denar
ture. For the sun on that dav. at the
sixtn nour, shrouded his glorious face,
as the poets say, in hideous darkness,
agitating . the hearts of men by an
a ... '
eclipse. And on the sixth day of the
wees, early in the morning, there was
so great an earthquake that the ground
appeared absolutely to sink down; an
horrid noise having been first heard
under the surface."
Speaking of the total eclipse of
March 20th, 1140. the same writer
says : "During this year, in Lent, on
the 13th of the kalends of April, at the
ytn nour or the 4th day of the week,
there was an eclipse throughout ling
land, as I have heard. With us, in
deed, and with our neighbors, the
obscuration of the sun was so remark
able, that persons sitting at the table,
as it then happened almost every
where, for it was Lent, at first feared
that chaos -was come again. After
wards, learning the cause, they went
out and beheld the stars around the
sun. It was thought and said by
many, and truly, that the King
(btephen) would not continue a j'ear
in the government."
Among the Hindoos, when, during
an eclipse, the black disk of our satel
ite begins to advance slowly over the
sun, the natives believe that some
terrific monster is devouring it. There
upon they beat gongs,, and rend the
air with most discordant shouts or
vengeance. For a time their efforts
are futile. At length, however, the
increasing uptoar Teaches the mon
ster; ha -appears to pause, and then
gradually disgorges the firey mouth
ful. When the sun is quite clear of
the" dragons mouth, a shout or joy Is
raised, and the deluded natives dis
perse, extremely self-satisfied on ac
count of having saved their deity
from his late peril.
very singular appearances some
times attend a "total eclipse. Around
the sun is seen a beautiful corona, or
halo of light, t lames of a blood red
color play around the disk of the
moon, and when only a mere cresent
of the sun is visible, it seems to resolve
Itself into bright spots, interspersed
with dark spaces, having the appear
ance of a bright string of beads, called
Balie's Beads. Every one should
look for the zodiacal light. Although
It has not been seen in late eclipses,
yet Arago says-"Mairan asserts that
this species of light had been already
seen by the ancients. 'JMcepnorus,
savs the author of the treatise on the
Aurora Borealis, 'relates that after the
capture of Rome by Alarack, a great
eclipse occurred, during which there
was seen in the heavens a light which
had the appearance of a cone, lhe
Greek historians treats as ignorant
persons those who pretend that the
light was the tail of a comet.' " From
which it would appear that the zodi
acal light has been seen during an
eclipse. If seen it will probably be in
the form of cones of light, the bases
of which are toward the sun. . The
total phase will last but two or three
minutes ; therefore every one should
be ready and watch close. The effect

A Sad Speech by Bryant.
One of the saddest and most touch
ing speeches that we ever read is that
of the venerable poet, William Cul
len Bryant, at the late commence
ment of William College. Being
called upon to speak at the annual
dinner, he said : -
It has occurred to me, since I, In
the decline of life, came to visit once
more this seat of learning, in which
our youth are trained to succeed us on
the stage of the world, that I am in
the situation of one who, standing on
a spot uesoiate witn winter anu aim
with twilight, should be permitted by
a sort of miricle to look upon a neigh
boring region glorious with the bloom
of spring, and bright with the beams
of morning. On the side where I
stand are herbless fields and lea lies
woods, pools sheeted with ice, a fro
zen soil, and the shadows of approach
ing night. On the side which I look
are emerald meadows, fields of spring
ing wheat, orchards In bloom, trans
parent streams, and a genial sunshine.
With inc it is too late for any further
hopeful tillage, and if the plough
were put into the ground, its coulter
would be obstructed b3' the ice-bound
sods. On the side to which I look, I
see the token of judicious cultivation
and careful tendance, recompensed by
a tree ana promising growui. i re
joice at the kindly care thus bestowed,
and my nope and prayer Is that under
such auspices all the promises which
meets my eyes may be amply fui hi led,
and that from these luxuriant fields a
harvest may be gathered richer and
more abundant than has ever ret been
6tored in the granaries of our land."
A severe shock of earthquake was
felt at Memphis recently. Several
large meteors fell during the night.

House had been previously instructed
a a w a - a-a a a mJ VMV mrjmr m a i aa . j.
that, as the visit was only one of a
few hours, and made for the purpose
of making necessary purchases here,
the President dessired what littlatime
he would be in the Astor House, to be
spared from the intrusion of .visitors.
The President, his wife and little
daughter drove from Barclay street
Pier, and, almost unobserved, entered
and very shortly left, the Astor House
by the Barclay street entrance. They
had arrived and gone on. their, shop
ping expedition tt at rirs. Urart had
made extensive purchases before the
small gathering of uninterested look
ing persons, (who, having no better
way of amusing themselves, had
assembled themselves in the hall of
the Astor House to look at the Presi
dent,) were aware of his arrival. Gen.
Grant accompanied his wife and
daughter to the various stores to which
they went. The greater part of the
time was spent by them at btewart's,
where they bought a quantity of
goods more remarkable for their vari
ety than costliness. They had finish
ed their shopping and returned to the
Astor House by 3 p. m. '1 hey entered
as before, quietly and unobserved,
and partook of a slight lunch, and
again leaving the hotel noislessly,
arrived at Barclay street pier to take
thesteamer for Long Branch. Wheth
er it was that the visit did not Interest
the public, or that fact of their visit
was not generally known, or, again,
that the people were willing to leave
the President to himself as much as he
could desire, very few of them went
to the pier to get a glimpse of him
the persons there consisting mainly of
passengers of the boats for Long
Branch or Newark, and of laborers
who work on the wharf. There were
no manifestations of any kind, no
rush to get a nearer view oJ the Gen
eral, no sycophantic gathering of the
worshippers at the shrine of office.
The President stood for ome time
on tne lower decs, and there shook
hands with several who came forward
the only prominent citizen amongthem
being Peter Uooper. While the rres
ident was standing there a ludicrous
scene was enactod. An old Irish wo
man well known on the pier went up
to the President, shook hand3 with
him and taking from her orange bas-
two as good oranges as she could find
among the far from being temptin
collection, thrust them into the Presi
dent's hand, and Insisted on his ac
cepting them. Theact caused consid
erable merriment among the by
stan ders, but General Grant did not
appreciate the joke. He looked first
at the oranges which had seen better
days, and then with, a bewildered ex.
nresslon at the genial looking voluble
old woman, and alter a utile time.
comprehending that she meant these
treasures from her humble store as a
present to 'him, put them into his
pocket. He then ascended to the up
per deck and sat down beside his wife
and daughter. The old .Irish woman
was enthusiastic over the little vent
n which she had been a- prominent
figure, and amid the laughter of the
crowd cried outin the breath "Musha
but he's a very folna looking gentle
man inti rely here 3Tees are, four
beautiful oranges for tin cints." This
was followed by "Shure I shook hands
with the President, so I did," on
which a wag in the crowd cried out
'A nice thing for a Democrat like you
to shake hands with a itepubiican
Ike him." This blow at her devotion
to principleseemed to stagger her for &
moment, but recovering her presence
of mind she retorted. "Devil a bit of
Black Republican blood in his botlr."
The crowd laughed loudly, and the
woman evidently feeling that she had
not vet redeemed herself in the eyes
of the great "Dimocracy," exclaimed,
Shure Andy Johnson was a rale
pure Dmiocrat intirely ! Arrah,bu the

At half-past four the Bteamer left
the pier for Long Branch, General

under the call of the commissiftners, it
would sound well for the energy and
intelligence of our citizens, and would
benefit the county even if it failed to
bring a road. But, he said, we would
never get a road for less than $100,000,
and we might think ourselves fortu
nate if we got one for that amount.

bir James Anderson, in his remarks.
disclaimed all honor in the success of
the cable enterprise, which he thought
wholly due to the oncers of the vessels
which had just departed. The Impor-
portance of the ocean telegraph was
alluded to, and Sir James Anderson
claimed that to Cyrus M. Field, more
than any other man living, was owing
the success of the Atlantic cable. He
had heard that Mr. Field had opposed
the landing of the French cable, and
he would think it strange if he did
not. That gentleman is largely inter
ested in the Atlantic cable, and it is
but natural that he should defend his
interests so far as honorable opposition
goes. They should not reel onended
at it, .for under like circumstances
they would do the same thing.
lie had also heard, that other oppo
sition had been made to the landing
of the cable, which might also be due
to Mr. Field and his colleagues, but
he had no fear that any influence
could induce tho American people to
act unjustly, and allow millions of
money to be spent in laying a cable
without having fair play.
