SCHOOlT WORK. iiiiy CliiuiK < ! < * In Oiniilm Kxoullrnt Ailvlco to Touclirrs by thu Siipcrlntiimlmit , year ngo Suporlntondont Fitzpatrlek came to Omaha with an exceptionally tlno reputation as an educator , which his work lu the schools has fully justlilcd. In the primary department some changes have boon made In the arithmotio worlc , the good results of which must bo apparent In the upper grades , The mastering of the fundamental rules In simple combinations have been begun oarllor In the school Ufa of the child , so that between thu periods ot Inarnlng them and applying them with promptness nnd accuracy there will bo ample tlmo for continuous practice. Tbo subject of longitude and ttmo has boon transferred from the sixth grade , whcro the average age is 111 yo.ir.s , to the eighth , where iho average Is 15 years nnd the moro matured minds of the pupils oxperlonco only a llttlo of the difllculty that thu sixth grndo has groaned under. The work lu the sevmitli A and the seventh B classes has been shortened. Thu moro dill- ! cult work in reasoning has boon put where It belongs , lu the eighth gradu , where iho facullios are raoro advanced. The work in drawing , tinliko that of the past , has bean run on schedule tlmo und has not been per mitted to encroach on the tlmo of moro neces sary branches. Lust year , at an upper grade meeting , this question was put by luo super intendent : "How many of you llnd teaching drawln ns heavy u subject us arithmetic1 ! Fivo-sixths ol the teachers present an swered in the allirmjtivc. A touchor whoso drawing hud been qulto noted , in response to n compliment on the subject , said : "Yes , I had good drawing , bu * at the ex pense of mpro important thinss my nerves nnd iho lessons that the children voro sent to school to learn. " This was u general sentiment among the teacher. ' , though for obvious reasons u was not outspoken. The chani'o most needed and most up- plauded has boon made with rnforoneo to the entrance of eighth grade pupils to the High school. Formerly nil the person * who on- tnrod the seventh A class In Januarv were obliged to do double work und enter the High school n year from the following Sep tember , or , falling to do this , wcro put back a whole voar instead of u half year. Thiswhen a child has reached the eighth grade. Is a serious affair , for then a child's tlmo is valuable to himself und to his parents. For a clover child there was nn ndvuntogo because ho gained aclass , but cloverchildron do not need advantages ; it Is the average child that Is taught in iho public schools. The introduction of Untied States history in the seventh grade ns a reading exercise has many merits. The pupils thus become familiar with iho outline" before being re quired to lourn it , and lu the eighth grade nro able to grasp it as a whole Instead of as collection of isolated facts. A new departure in the hui ! of literature , nnd ono which seems particularly commend able , is the suggestion that u requisite for promotion should bo tha reading of ono book n term from some standard author , the choice being wldo enough to ineludo u va riety of tastes. In this connection may bs mentioned some remarks of the superintendent - dent to the touchers which are well worth romomDoriiig : ' There is n certain tendency in analyzing the ability of u pupil toward contlulng our selves to a narrow siandard , Judging of mental ouliber by uriitimotio wnen ho may have u strong bent toward other subjects which uro equally valuable in Intellectual growth. "It Is wrong to suppose a child may not have excellent powers as u roasoner and yet full on much of the mutbomaticiil work given by our schools. "What I wish to mi vise la that the teachers studv the children , and where n special talunt Is discovered to aid and encourage a development along that line , remembering thnt the paths to distinction In intellectual llfo are many and varied nnd nro called Oy different names , ns science , moral philoso phy , oiMtory , poolry , history , the writing of novels , and they all servo the same purpose In attaining to thnt highest development , of the human mind which wo call education.

I _ Unldiou'n tn History. I Now York Times : They wor | > boy and t'irl together. Lilco llowors that grow &ldo by side without asking why or wherefore , those two had a' ways been together , laughed and wept to gether all through the dream lapse of their childhood. Ono day they d.Uliod in a Hold where daisies grow. "Which is your favorite llowcr , Mar- gioV" asked the boy. "Why , Harry , don't you know ? The daisy , " and ho picked ono as she an swered. "And why ? " ho queried further. "Because they have hearts of uold , " she said , "which means that they are true and faithful. " And then they talked of other things , while overhead the now moon silvered , in the sky and colored evening came. Soon after , from the little cottage on the hill , Margaret heard the calling of her name , and ihen the children said good night and went to dreams which only children know. The years rolled on and brought their changes. The boy and girl wcro man and woman. The country was atiir. . The ait1 reverberated with the echoes of the cannonade on Sumptor , in whi-li ominous poil : of Iron thunder every 'ni.n whoso blood ran young and strong hid heard the calling of his name , llany imd hoard his and answered "Ilerol" and Martrnrot approved.

Which , I wonder , j will bo doomed the hero , ho who ( 'ivcs his life and dies or she who gives her life and lives. The nitrht before ho went Harry came to say goodbye. It was soft and balmy and the moon was full. Mar arot mot him at tbo cottage door , and tlioy strolled together in tbo meadow where daisies grow. She picked and gave him " . - this " she said "and ono. "Tal.-n , , wear it , Harry. Lot it'bo the Mixpah of our I separation this little flower which wo have loved together since our childhood. Lot it bo our oinblom in the face of death if death needs bo true to the last , colden-hoartcd to our country , and to onu another. May God bo merciful , " she prayed and rested her head on Harry's shoulder. He took tlio llo-.vor , but ho could not speak. What else they said , what olno they did , is secret of the vagrant clouds and bonded treotops. All that wo know is that they parted on that stilly night. Yet no ono saw the moon grow paler , nor hoard the woodbinds shudder , nor tho. night winds moan ; not oven sobs were heard BO noiseless Is the breaking of a human heart , as noiseless and unheeded - hooded ns the falling loaf in autumn. The days those which seem as years crept oh and brought their changes. Il-irry was dead and Margaret slowly dying. At lirst ho wrote each day , and then less often , and then for weeks there came no word at all. At last a loiter came , and as she opened it a withered daisy fell upon her lap. She read as follows : "It is the eve of battle ; tomorrow wo fight our lirst great light. I shall place the daisy which you gave mo in this letter when completed , and wear the letter next to my heart. If I ho of those ' . "ho stay upon the Hold , some friendly hand , I know , will snood this letter on Us way , but if " She road no more. Her hands dropped listlessly at her sides ; the letter drop ped. Motionless she gazed , like ono entranced , through the open window where she sat ; she saw the field where they had picked the daisies in their childhood the Held where they had mild good bye the Held where they should never moot again ; tlion suddenly a darkness , ns of a moonless night , full on her vision and she swooned away.

The chapter on lilt/ John 1'orlor in Mr. McCluro's volume on "Abraham Lincoln and Men of War Times , " briollj portrays the most cruel and remorseless persecution of ono of iho most patriotic and heroic generals of our civil war , says the Philadelphia Times. General Porter's case stands out single and alone as illustrating the highest achievement of malignant power and the most appall ing prostitution of justice that over dis graced the annals of American history ; and it must bo gratifying to all patriotic citizens that his vindication has been so complete us to put his accusers to shame while ho yet lived. General Warren , who fell under a like cruel blow from the power of prejudice , wont lo his grave in sorrow because his honor and skill as a soldier were yet questioned on the records of the country for whoso safety ho bad freely olTored his life ; but Porter hud been spared lo enjoy Hie grateful Iributo paid lo his ability and fidelity by the same author ity thai had smillon and dishonored him. him.Thoro There can bo no pretense that General Porter's vindication was duo to any favor or fortuilous oircumstanco. So slrong was Iho lido of passion that over whelmed him thai even General Giv.nt , dii'-ing his oighl years in Iho presi dency , refused to entertain the question of reviewing the case by a military court ; butsooa after his retirement from public life , ho carefully investigated the facls , heroically proclaimed his error and made every possible atono- menl for the injustice ho had sanctioned by declaring , over his own signature , that General Porter was not only falsely accused , but that ho had exhibited the highest qualities of generalship and fidelity in the very acts for which ho has been condemned. Soon thereafter a military court , composed of three of the most intelligent and dispassionate gen erals of iho army , unanimously acquitted Porter of every accusation against him and declared that ho mer ited special commendation as a bravo and wise soldier for ins conduct in the Pope campaign. i Ono of the most impressive of the anany incidents connected with General 'Vortor's long struggle to obtain justice { from a government whoso battles ho 'bad ' fought in two w.irs , was the heroic OlTer of General Terry , when just about ib gain a major generalship by regular firomollon , to forego his own advanco- iont , so dear to every soldier , in favor ( if General Porter lo emphasize Porter's vindication. As General Terry had | ono of the military court that fully investigated tlio case , ho so knenly de plored the injustice Porter had suffered tjjat he proposed Porter's promotion in 1 Reference lo his own , lo vindicate Iho completeness of justice under our free { jqyornincnt. Porter was as heroic in his refusal as Terry was in the oiler , mm it added to tlio lustre of Iho laurels by bolh. io accusers of General Porter have perished or skulked away in blihio from ihclr own malignant worlc , dismissal from the army for no oilier crime lhan Iho wisest and mosl citirngeouti porformnnco of 'duly , ro- males as an ineffaceable boll on thu re- curds of Iho republic. True , Iho fullest vindication and ntonomont have come , lee , when ho and his house- lioilgods ! ] could unite in joy ever the trl- uniii of long dolnyud justice ; but the story of his wrongs , of his ptitiont strup- glior tlio recognition of his patiiotiu ( j - iico , of the Until victory of tlio right unti pi the iinivoranl contempt ohorishod for Ills licensors , must over remain ono of tilt ) ninny inoinornblo records which brliHon or dnrlcon the most horoio ago of Ugjiorii times.

When matters were thus arranged to his liking ho started down the pike , and stopped in plain view of Iho enemy. Il was not long before three of them gave chase , mounted on good horses. It was now too dark for them lo sue Iho wires , and on they came , determined lo have a prisoner. The chase was sharp and quickly ovor. so thai by the time Iho rebel schemer -had patted through and under his trap the enemy was upon ' him. i him.Tho sequel is not hard to guess. Two of the pursuers were quickly unhorsed , ! the third being so much astonished and i frightened al their faio as to lurn and I boat a busty rolroiit. Tbo two horses , without their rulers , continued down the road nnd wore easily captured by the confederate , who by his clover ruse becumo thulr owner and kept his placu in thocuvalry.

The hero of this incldenl lolls the lalo himself , aud adds thnt ho rode ono of those horses to Apponmtlox , and from there to his homo , and that it was ono of iho best he ever owned.

Instantly the whistle was blown. No heed , however , was taken ot it. Thinking the venerable - able dame would gel oul of danger in duo lime , the speed was not slackened , though the screaming of the whistle made the hills ring. "Yot still the old woman kept slowly on , turning bur head neither to the right nor to the left until Iho engine was almost upon hor. 'J lieu the brakes were put on with a will and the train was stopped just in time to save her life. "What thodovllis the matter with you ?

"Mr. Applogato , the inventor , says the now company , which is in procois of formation , tironos''H to produce u lumu that can bo sold for U , ° i cents , with u guarantee of lifo hilly double Unit of any ether lamp In Iho market. 'U'n will also guranlco that tlio bulb will not become black nnd discolored from 1111- inont,1 ho said yoslerdav.

Tlio lump has a lava bond through which nn Iron wlro pusses , thus preventing the lusit from reaching the point of seal. Lava is the poorest known conductor for heat. The bulbi and head of lava may bo used a number of times and it Is tbo Intention of the company to buy these bulbs from customers when exhausted. The lllumont or carbon is composed of u stib- stunco thut will burn for n ponod of two hours in the open air. The period of lifo within the vacuum will exceed two years. The discoloration of iho clouo Is prevented by the filament buing transparent. Jt pro- vonls the accumulation of uny blucu sedi ment. "Tho test yesterday was made on u circuit , with nn Edison sixteen-candlo power lamp with a motor attached. Thu result showed that It required less ampuro to produce a thirty-two-candle power than under the Edison system lo produce u sixtcou-candlo power. Mr. Apploguto has secured patents on his improvements in incandescent light ing without restrictions from the patent oftlcc.
