Iu order to see how great progreaa haa beer. made in teaching, ha moat gat into a r-odern ichool room where the teacher baa kept progreaa with the age of improvements in the methods o( imparting inatrnction. In the Gold Hill acboola every (acuity of the pupil ia awakened and shsrpened. Even Ubli-a of weights and measures in lha primary claaaea are taogbt aa object leaaona. They have the aoales and the weights and tba meaanrea right there, and the scholar* see that it take* sixteen ounces to make one pound and two gllla to make a pint, etc., up to the gallon. The result ia that little children from seven to nine years old will foot up poundaand ounce* and even fractions of ouncea and give the correct total with a facility which is surprising. The asms la true of measures, including quarts, pints, sills, etc. But this ia not all. They an taught to form oorrect eatimataa ot the weighta of objecta. They are handed a book or something of tba kind and then esti mates of its weight are taken. Ona of the scholars then weighs the objsct and snnoanoes the mult. The importance of this kind of praoticein estimating the propel ties of things will becoms appar ent one of tbeee days when euooees In life may depend on accuracies of judg ment. The above ia cited only as ons of many wsys of sharpening the perceptive faculties of the children. It teaches thsm to think, and that ia, after all, as good a definition aa can ba given of real education. Aud then to teach the little ones geog raphy they are set to world building on a small scale. They are furnished with a suitable meaaure of loam in a fitting rrceptacle, furnished with implements, snd construct rsnges of mountaiaa and hills and valleys and plains and cauyonx aud ravines, snd to form all ths phsses presented by the solid part of ths earth. Then tbey go to work and run mines. 1'heir shafts nevar get very deep nor their tunnels long belore a cave occurs; but ths theory is exemplified and thor oughly understood. Suob lessons are nsver forgotten. Another phsse of geography baa been aa one might aay practically taught of late. too. The meltiog snows have made a puddle of water in tba back yard and that ia taken aa an ooean, and the dry plicsa in it serve for continents and islands and the like. The little stresms of wster running in are taken to illus trate the formations of rivere and oreeks. Ths smaller puddles of water do nicely for lakes, and ao the little ones get a reedy idsa of lha big world on which tbey live from the little world aronnd. There is not a map in the world like thst back yard, nor a play ground equal in attractions to thsir school room.

Too much praiae cannot be beatowed upon the "American Four," nor on the Davenee. Both are unexcelled and, in faith, it may be aaid, nnequaled in their reepeotive lines.

EUROPA. Wwk IkMt to b» *• •nnid-Tk* Tel lew iMkW M«w •ball Ife* lull of Operations. Work is about to bs commenced through the Ysllow Jacket nsw shaft far the porposs o( prospec'.it' the Eoropa groans, lying north of t Jacket and south o( the Ward. It is three years sinco anything has been done in the Europa. At the time the oompany shot down, tkeir prospects (or opening a val uable property were very flittering. Thsy hsd sank a shaft 650 feet in depth, and at 300 feet they ran a orossrat west under the eaperintendenoy of John Lam bert, and oat a well defined vein of qaartx CO feet in width, giving assays ranging from $4 U $26. At this point therein (as per survey of B. H. Stretch) had a pitch of 36 degrees to the east. They then continued sinking with the expectation o( catting their ledge in the shaft at aboat 800 feet, the shaft being some distanoe east of their ledge, bat aboat the time they bad proeecated the work to a depth of 650 feet the unfortu nate death of H. 0. Kibbe, who held the controlling interest in the stock of the oompany, put a stop to operations. The present management, after surveying the field, concluded to await the progress of the south lateral branch of the Sutro tunnel, which will pass through the Europa ground, intersecting it at the northeast corner, at the Ward lint, and croeeing disgonally to the Jsoket shaft, near the southwest corner of the Segre gated Europe, at a depth of 1560 feet. It baa been a matter of earprise to the mining people of the Comstock Ibat the management of thia valuable property should have allowed it to lie dormant so long, bat their policy of iosctiun hss evidently been to the interrets of the stockholders, as on the northeaat of the property the Ward abaft has now at tained a depth of 2000 feet, and on the eoathraat ia the new abaft of the Yellow Jacket, now down about 2800 feet, from which it is proposed to drift north to meet the Sutro tunnel. With tbesa fa cilities the Europa Company can pros pect their property, or have it pros pected for them more fully, without cost to them, than they oould have done at a oost of $250,000 by continuing their own shsft, as they would hsve been com pelled to put in expensive machinery. The Segregated Europa, whioh adjoins on the eoutb, as well as ths Europs, are both very valaable properties, and a proeperoua future ia in etore for the stockholders as soon aa they can reach their groand from either direction, which they will undoubtedly be able to do from the south lateral branch of the Sutro tunnel, on the north end of the Europa, in about 90 days, and a drift of about 350 feet from the Jscket shaft will reach the Segregated Europa on the eouth end. MINING NOTES. lnuit mt laicmt All AlMf lb* Wonder if people ever atop to think what a wonderful development ia being mftde in Union! On the 2400 level 250 feet of ore and fine vein material carry ing string* re of rich ore, and no tnd to Uu thing yW in tilkir direction—for to the weat the ore haa never been traced to a wall or even a border. Here la a ohanoe, surely, to eclipee the 280 feet of width of the big bonansa in Con. Virginia. The rapid approach of the Sntro tun *nel'a north header toward* the north end ia an important fact for the minea in that direction. It, oomblned with the increased facilitiea at the mine*—heavy machinery and the like—will soon pnt the north end minea la much better condition for deep mining than they ever have been. They commence thia evening putting the punipa in at the Union ahaft. They now keep 30 men at work easing the timbere in the Union ebaft. Every day a careful inepeotion ia made of the ahalt from top to bottom and every guide atick ia examined, ai d every bolt looked to, leat somethiu* nhould get out of place and wreck Uvea a* well as mat ter. The Ophir pomps are today running to the *i5U0 level. Thia will allow of • resumption of ainking in the bottom of the main incline eoon. Parties who are now working the Dayton gravel mine claim to Ijave dis covered that by ainking a anmp in the bed-rock and then drifting along the rock in the gravel, the water runa to the aump and escapee through the bed rock, and that they will be able to work their claima at little expense. The pieton rod of the new pumping engine at the Union ahaft ia a foot in diameter. The pump rode are Oregon pine 16 by 10 incbea and CO feet long. They are to be atrapped together with iron platee firmly bolted. District Ceerl.

London, February 7.—In the Hoax of Commoni yesterday Sir Stafford Northcote Mid be found no fault with the Irish members for taking tbla early opportunity for drawing attention to ac important a matter, bat they would be going beelde tbe queation of diatreat by oooupying the membera with aucb pointa aa those dealt with in tba amendment. Ha dlatJuctly denied that the govern ment bad allowed tba matter to aleep. The report of tbe R»glstrar-G»ntral for the paat year, juat reeelved, discloeed a very nnaatiafsetory atata of thinga. Tha extent of laud under erope in Ireland waa laaa than during any preceding ten years. The total value of tbe principal crops for 1879 is estimated at £23,000,• 000 aa against £33,400,000 tha prid ing year. The potato orop of 1878 *waa estimated at SO,600,000 cwt., where it ia expected that the yield for 1879 will be only 32,000.000 cwt., a most alarming decrease. Toward the end of last Octo ber the Irish Oovsrnasnt forwarded to tha Cabioet information whioh the government took into serious con sideration, inviting tha Lord Lieu tenant and othera to attend in London. The government found that there was considerable apprehension of a famine in soma parta ol Irsland. They therefore took tha precautions necessary until ths meeting of Parliament. Tba Cbanoellor aaid in a bill whioh be in tended at a later period to Introduce there would b« provisiona authorising the local Oovarnment Board to authorise the Boarda of Guardians to issus food and fuel by way of out-door relief. It would alao'be proposed to allow the Boarda of Ooardiana to borrow money in exceptional oaaea. Tha question of stimulsting tbe employment of labor waa ona foil of difficulty, but tba government waa deairoua of doing aometbing in that direction, and thought it beat to give tome enoouragament to peraona to bor row money to be us«d in improving their land. Therefore tbev propoee to advance loana on exceedingly easy terms to tba landlorda to be used for tbst purpose. Tha Baronial Seaaions would also be aeked to maka presentments. O'Donoghue (Liberal) aaid tba proper oourae waa to lend the money to the farmers, not to the landlords. IxecallODi In Cabal.
