Toacltcrn Certificate
In almost every educational journal
at almost every Teachers Institute we
see and hear complaints of tho Tench
ers profession being a stepping stone
to other callings The State Superin
tendent complains that ha can nccom
plish no more because county commis
sioners 8nd teachers are inefficient
The Commissioner complains that the
teachers take little interest in school
worlS except to secure the draw We
all find fault with tho working of our
system and every school officer places
the blame on somo one else besides
himself Not would it not be advis
able for our Legislature to change the
law in regard to teachers certificates
The questions now sent out by the
State Board of Education are all on
the different sciences Who docs not
know that many fine scholars are not
fine teachers Now suppose oar
questions were more of the following
kind
Which do you regard the best the
alphabet the word or tho sentence
method of teaching children to read
Explain the advantages and disad
vantages of each method
What is your idea of the compara
tive merits of iuental and writteu arith
metic
How would you teach geography
by lecture by map drawings or from
a text book
Would jou combine either of these
methods If so which
At what time in a childs education
would you begin to teach grammar
How would yen teacV grammar by
parsing diagraming or analyzing
These and many kindred Questions
would enable an intelligent Board of
Examiners to decido whether or not
tho oandidate is a teacher while the
present method only decides his
scholarship
Then if the Examining Board will
do its work thoroughly fairly and
justly we 6hall have better teachers
better schools and better work Bat
a long as our present method of ex
ainining tcaobers is retained we may
cxpeot many young doctors lawyers
and preachers to use the teachers pro
fosioQ as a stepping stone These
really feel little interest in teaching
but occupy the school room one or two
years to procure money enough to en
able ihtru to reach tbe profoseion

From the Calloway News
We have been permitted to publish
the following from a private letter from
our Representative lion T A Miller
to Mr L 0 Linn ol this place
Frankfort March 17 1SS0
Mr L J Linn Murray Ky
Dear Sir -On last night March
ICth at D oclock the bill chartering
the Richmond and Southwestern rail
road Company was cajlod up in the
louse for the concurrence of the
House in the Senate aKcndments
which was after a short discussion
agreed to
One of the amendments requires the
company to begin tbe construction of
the said road within thi State within
n period of five years and the other
amendment was of no importanco
Thi propoecd road was chartered by
tho Virginia Legislaturo about four
nionthb past and its eastern terminus
is Norfolk Va theuco to Richmond
and the chartoffexpressly calls for its
west terminus to be tho southern part of
Fulton county Ky on the Mississippi
river To day I had an interview with
J C Fawcett of this State originally
of Pennsylvania who iB here in the
interest of the said charter ngt as a
member of the company but as an
cmnlovee of tho couJoanv and who hag
V- i t rT -
THiarge or me engineers now in mc
Geld in Virginia and who will have
the locating and selecting the route of
the proposed road in the State of Ken
tucky and the result of my interview
was as to the location of the road was
this Its entrance into our State will
be at Pound Gap Letcher county
thence to Hazard Perry county thence
to Proctor Lee county thence to Rich
mond Madison couuty thence to Ver
sails Woodford county thence to
Louisvilie Jefferson eounty thence
down tho Ohio river to Otter creek
Meade oounty and at this last named
point two routes arc in contemplation
and the one that presents the more ad
vantages and the less expenditures
will be the ono selected The more
probable one is this from Otter oreek
turning nearly south to Hardensburg
Breckinridze county thence through
tbe western oorner of Orayson county
thence through Butler oounty thence
through tho corner of Todd county
thence through Christian eounty Ieav
inEr Honkinsville to the north thence
through Trigg county to the Cumber
land river at Canton tbonce betweou
the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers
to the mouth of Blood river on the
west bank of the Tennessee thence
through Calloway to Murray thence
through Graves county leaving May
field to the north nud thenco on to tho
western terminus Fulton County Miss
issippi rivar
The other route is from Otter creek
to Owensboro in Davies Co thence
to Calhoun McLean Co thence to
the crossing of E P and St Louis
and Southwestern It R in Hopkins
Co thence to Cadiz in Trigg Co and
thence to tbe Cumberland river c
Tho propriety and expediency of run
ning from Owensboro west north of
the E P road aaiLerossing at Ed
dyville C is also a part of tho pro
posed plan So our people will have
to extend all their aid and induce
ments to avoid tbe last objective point
yet he tells me he thinks they will go
through our county I have given
you objective points as best I can
Fawcett does not now know where the
road will be located after it leaves
Louisville The engineers are now
at tho Kentucky line and it is the
opinion that they will make the entire
topographical survey to the river by
tbe first of May next The Company
now have in the State of Ya men se
oaring the right of way for tho looa
tion of the road lam iuformed by
the gentleman here Mr that he
expects to take charge of the road in
Keutuckv and eo soon as the line of
location is etablisbed he intends put
ting men in field to secure tbe righ
of -way and they will soon begin He
tells me the company is fully able to
construct and operate the road
They are the richest Company in the
United States that they are worth mil
lions of dollars and that they are in
good faith in building the proposed
road can put at work any number of
men all along the lino sand oompletc
the enterprise in a very short period
of time

aRfttnl Cards
The postal card is a little over six
years old in this country yet it is do
ing well as could be expected for its
age It has only two enemies the
man who receives duns on it and the
manufacturers of writing paper The
little postal causes a decrease of from
twelvto fifteen million dollars every
year in the business of the writing pa
per trade in this country Postal
cards are made at Holyoke and forty
men are continually employed at their
manufacture The card board is fur
nished repackages of 3000 each and
overy sheet is made into forty postals
Three presses are kept a going night
and day A machine splits the sheets
ol ten cards eecli and tnese
1 i j r ii j i jto strips
At this the colored boy fell down iu j
dumpea in piles of twenty five cards
each when thoy aro paoked by girls in
pasteboard bozos containing 500 cards
A government officer is constantly on
hand to Fee that iiP pilfering of cards
is done The Holyoke manufactory
turns out about a million of cards a day
Last year there wero used in this
country two hundred aud orty six
million sixty three thousand and 4ztJ
cards Of the now international card
introduced a few weeks since there
have been two millions need already
The government keeps on hand twenty
fivo million of tho postal cards

Governor and Speaker op tiik
Senate Sir I respectfully submit
the following in response to Senate
resolution directing tho Auditor of
Public Accounts to furnish
Tho number of counties in this
Commonwealth without Sheriffs tho
amount now due tho Commonwealth
from Sheriffs for revenue the number
of suits now pending njainst Sheriffs
or their sureties and any other infor
mation he may have upon or rolative
to the deficiency in the revenue

Sheriffs that is thev have no bond

Revenue 1870 15125 70
Revenue 1877 11180 45
Revenue 1878 93979 39
Total 339383 19
There remains of the revenue of 1879
uncollected 8681573 G t
There are pending thirty three suits
against delinquent Sheriffs brought
since the year 1874 Muoh of this
large sum outstanding might have been
collected perhaps by proper proceed
ings But it seems to have boen the
habit of past Legislatures to release
Sboriffa and their surities from tbeir
obligations to the State almost with
out stint or reason upon the mere ask
ing and I ragret to sea that the pres
ent Legislature seems disposed to pur
sue the same course They have al
ready released quito a number of Slier
iffs and sureties with a Urge number
of leaves for such bills yet to be acted
on It seems to mc thafthis is not a
good way to fill a depleted treasury
Our revenue and taxation laws are
very detective but the very root of all
the trouble lies in the mode of assess
ment Let a fair and equitable assess
ment be made of all taxable property
in the State and it will give a revenue
quite sufficient to meet all expenses
without an increase of taxation I
think that if the Assessor were paid a
per centum on the amount realized
from his assessment instead of the
present compensation per list it would
make quite a difference on the revenue
No fear need be entertained that the
assessment would theraby bo made
excessive since tho Board of Supervi
bo rs can be called upon to intervener
It will be seen that the Sheriffs of
many of the best ceunties in the State
have not given bond for the collection
of tho revenue They say the com
mission does not compensate thorn for
the labor and responsibility of tbe of
fice In some of thceo countios the
Sheriffs of late years were induced to
assumo the collection of the revenue
only upon the promise of a commission
of ten per cent upon the entire reven
ue which was afterward ratified by the
Legislature by sneoial acts This is
unequal and unjust to other Sheriffs
It is worth ton per oent to collect the
revenue in Pulaski or Union County
other Sheriffs ought to be entitled to
tbe same I think if the Sheriffs wore
paid better the revenue would bo more
promptly and more fully paid in
Except for the year 1877 Perry
county has not paid in her full reve
nuo since 1872 In 1875 and 1878 it
had no Sheriff and uot a dollar was
paid into the Treasury for the revenue
of thoBO years
All of which is respectfully sub ait

The work deno the past fewnnonths
by tho Taxing District Government
must ehallcngo publio approval Never
beforo was the wisdom of thelfchange
from tho old to the new government so
apparent a now It is not only one
hird cheaper than the old but it is
more efficient It is nearer a personal
government and therefore nearer nn
nocu notability and responsibility that
all connected with it feel with at ous
aud fold the force of tho old regime
The duties of the reveral officers are
clearly defined and if therefore dere
lictions tht public know exactly now
who to chargo with them nod who to
punish for them But nothing of this
kind is likely to occur if we aro to
take the yeur just passed for a crite
rion of the future In that time the
Taxing District wan inaugurated and
organized and in that time it has ac
cowpliihed a work that is a speoial
wonder to all who are familiar with
tho municipal history of Memphis
The employees have boen paid prompt
ly no indebtedness has becu incurred
every obligation has been met The
several depaftmuts have been thor
oughly sustained und publio work has
been carried forward on a scfte few
tw years ago woald believe jjoTssiblc
The paving of Madison street with
stono block is nearly completed and
the paving of Adams and Vance and
possibly Sholby will shortly be begun
Bids for tho paving of Union street

railroad depots two and a hajf miles
with Belgian pavement the same as
that on Broadway Now york i9 among
the near possibilities and be levee is
being gradually paved toward Beole
street Beside the work of sewerage
u being carried forward with rare ens
ory guided by superior skill so that
by tho 15th of May wo may bo able
to say to tho f orld that Memphis is
wll sAwered sod well underdrainod
and bids fair in five yeari to bo a mo
del in oviry -respect for other oities of
the country Tbe sanitary rules acd
regulations are being exactingly en
foroed and the soil so long saturated
by nameless poisons is fast being re
lieved A it load of fecal matter and
in all cases being replaced with fresh
earth Never was so complete a revo
lution wrought in any community and
nover so great a work undertaken
circumstances so hopeless as sur
rounded us at the close of last year
After all the wrangling and debate tbe
work recommended by tho National
Board of Hsulth notwithstanding the
weeks of exoessively rainy weather
near completion and we are glad to
say has boen as thoroughly done a
the recommendations suggested The
people have sustained Dr Porter no
bly They have marked their appro
batioa of his zealous efforts in their
beblf by promptly paying their taxes
and oboying all the laws that the leg
i6lative council have deemed ncecssary
upder tho circumstances As a com
munity we have reason to be gratified
and satisfied wo have reason to be
proud of an energy so well direoted
that has achieved so jnuch of reform
in so short a time and it ought to
prebs each with fresh hoaTt and hope
to press on until we stand first among
the cities of the Union We do not
believe there is any reason to fear yel
low fever ths year and wo do not be
lievo there is anything between us and
many prosperous years years of re

Why Aunt Sallte KeverpZarrlcd
Now Aunt Sallio do please tell us
why you never got married You ro
member you Baid onco that when you
wero a girl you were engaged to a
minister and promised us you would
tell us about it sometime Now aunt
please tell us
Well you see when I was about
17 years old I was living in Utica iu
the Stato of New York Though 1 say
it myself I was quite a good looking
girl then and had several beaux Tbe
one thitt took my fancy was a young
minister a very promising young mon
aod remarkably pious and steady Ha
thought a good deal of me and I kind
of took a fancy to him and things
went on until we were engaged One
evening he came to me and put his
arms around me and kind of huggad
me when I cot excited and some fius
rated It was a long time ago and I
dont know but what I miiht have
hugged back a little I was like any
other girl uad pretty soon I pretended
to be mad about it and pushed him
away though I wasnt mud a bit Yon
must know the house where I lived
was in one of the back streets in the
town Thore were glass doors in the
parlor which opened qyerMhe street
Tbee doors wero drawn toIstepped
back a little from him and when he
came up close I pushed him back ogain
I pushed him harder than I intended
to and dont you think girls the poor
fellow lost his balance and fell through
one of tbe doors into the street
Oh aunty Was he killed
No he fell head first and as he
was going I oaught him by the legs
of his troosera I held on for a min
ute and tried to pull him back but
hia su pendere gave way and the poor
young mn fell clear out of his panta
loons into a parcel of ladies and gen
tlemcn along the street
Oh aunty aunty Lordy
Thsro thats right squall and gig
gle as mueh as you want to Girls
that caut hear a little thing like -that
without tearing around the room and
in such away dont know
enough to come in when it rninv A
nice time tho man that marries one of
you will havo wout he Catch mo
telling you anything again
But Aunt Sallio what becanio of
hiui Did you ever see him again
No the moment ho touched the
ground ho got up and left that place
in a terrible hurry I tell you it was
a eight to be remembered How that
man did run Ho went out West aud
I bejieve he is preaching out iu Illino
is But he never married Ho was
very modesl and I suppose he wa
t 0 badly frightened that thno that he
never dared trust himself near a wo
man ogoln That girls is the reason
why I never married I felt very bad
obout it for a long tirao for he was
a real good man and Ive often
thought to myself that we should hnve
