10 THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. ——eeeee Inquiry About South Fitth Avenugy To rae Eprror oF THe HeRALD:— J, ag one of the property owners on South Fifth avenue (formerly Laurens street), am anxious to know wheu the street Is to be graded, paved, carved and guttered. I saw @ notice abeut one month ago that there was @ centract given out for the work to be done by the Superintendent of Pab- lic Works. Why is tt delayed? That part that comes under the Department of Pupile Works, cut- Ung through Washington Parade Ground, is very near complete, We are all looking fer the street to be (inished, so that we can see the great Broadway, or Boulevard, of the west side—which, when com- jeted, wil reach frem tue Battery to Hariem ridge. Td. G, DECEMBER 16, 1870, ‘ ” Tennessee and Her Want of Public Schools, To Tax Eprror or Tue HERALD: A day or two since there appeared in your valaa- bie journal a short article referring to a statement put ferth by the Aepudlican Banner, of Nashville, in which the great want of common schools In Tennes- see was commented upon. It ts a melanchely fact ‘that at present there is a total want of public schools in that State. About the year 1835 the Legislatare of Tennessee made provision for ratsing a fund, the Interest on which was to be devoted to the tustruction of youth, Eight hundred thousand dollars were, under the pro- visions of thls law, set apart for common schools, over Which @ superintendent was appointed, whose duties were to see to the proper application “of the interest arising from this fund. Lt was thought the velter plan to establish an academy in each of the wealthy counties, or to give to such aeademy, af ome should be found already established, @n endowment fund. To tue poorer counties were distributed smaller sums. and in each of them an etfort was made to fouud Le or more good schools, Phe great revulsion of 1547 caine about, when it Was Jound that the first superintendent had on private account cmbarked in Various speculations, and that of school fund he had squandered about Sle 3 Subsequently the Legislature provided for this }os3 by additional legislation, and, at the saine time, the conunoON school system Was rendered more efficient. Before the lave civil War sehouls were multiplying Uroughout the State and iateliigence was being rapidly diffused. As a matter of course, all this ended when the War began; bul, mest unforvunate of all, during the term of Governor Brownlow the sciioo! fund was removed trom Nashviile to Mem- pills, Where # was deposited in a bank belonging to some radicals for the purpose of being used” In the interest of the Goverpor’s party, The presideut of that bank seems to have played well his role; Zor at the end of two years he had loaned to Lis radical brethren the whole fund of $500,000 and hud yotblug to show for it except in- solvent paper, To be short, the common school tuod of Teunessee was appropriated by the radical party for eiecuoneering purposes. Were tae State in as good condition now as before the War all these inconveniences might be easily remedied, Then the public debt and other labinties did not exceed $26,000,000; now they amount to $45,000,000, Puen the Stave was rich and prose perous, prompuly paying the interest on tts debt and Oiler Habilities (which did not exceed $160,000 per anoum), and Likewise ihe expenses of public admin- istraiion—periaps $200,000 now at least $250,000 per annuum would be uired to pay inter. est and habiliues, besides the ordinary expenses of government, During the just Legisiature a law Was pissed reducing the amouat of tax levies, upon the ground that the great poverty of the people demanded such a measure. it must, therefore, be accepted as a fact that the people of Tennesse will nol, tor years to come, be able to pay the interest on their pubie debt and the: Habilites growing out of the endorsement of railroad bonds. i 80, it must be evident that noth- ing can or Will be done towards the creation of a schooi fun Suouli even the insolvent railroads be sold and the State lMabilities decreased by $15,000,000, the people would suill be unable to pay Auto the treasuty ieney suficient to liquidate the interest on the State debt and meet the expenses of government, It may ve proper to add here that an attempt has been mude of lite to sell the insolvent rauroads on Wich te Siate had liens by reason of having en- dorsed tieir bonds, but # sale couid not be effected » cause the United States government came forward and clatmed that it had prior Lens for cars and loco- Mmottves iurnisied to these railroads, Tukuig ail things into consideration it must be ap- parent that the statement put forth by the Republi- can Banner is hot only true, but the probabilities are that tne same state of things will continue to exist for years ti Mat unfortunate commonwealth, No state sullered so much during the war as Tennes- sth of Ule contending partes lived upon, and a impoverished her people. aStaie which has given birth to SO many honored citizens Should Le WanUing 1 Com.

Is the light of intelligence squelched i that state, or only to be enjoyed ewho are able to pay for the biessmgs of education ? Physiological Science and the Education of the Young. To THE Epiron or THE HERALD:— Presuming that every intelligent teacher 1s so far read in physiological science as to be satisfled of the existence of the temperaments and of their commu- nication with the brain by means of the nervous system, little difficulty will be experienced in his taking bis position beside me and rightly viewing ihe subject of education under the various aspects presented. Haying shown in my former letter that the ¢hiid's Sympathy must be secured through the predominat- ing temperament, my aim in this will be to show how the temperament can be o1 service in educa- tion, All children are more or less social, sensu. eusly following and adverse to restraint. On the playground the native characteristic is in unre- strained manifestation, Here, then, the teacher must meet his classes. He must be the director of ane games and a participant in the sports. He will ve prepared, by his physiological insight, so adroitly to restrain the undue exercise of innate propensity in one child, and so to draw it out in another, that in a short time the incengruous mass will become a harmonized whole, foliewing the direction of the sensuous nature of the intelligent deader. The social idea will be paramount; liberty, equality and fraternity will rule among the several members, while each voluntarily and respectfully Wil obey the pehests of the acknowledged superior, ‘the a on aglow, the activities in orderly restraint, the little band assembles in the class room. Here # new fiela opens to the teacher. Hith- erto the physical development chiefly eugaged his atiention; now the mental demands bis care. The sensibilities must now be regarded. These are bodily or mental. All the necessary appliances for com- dort must here greet the child. He must feel that the sympathy @awakened on the play- ground has an abiding place in the class room. Free admission of the light of heaven, with abundant supplies of God’s pure alr; suflicient room for the free use of his limbs, with seatings comfortably adapted to his wants and neces- sities; and the direct appliances for study, with yeady access to incidental auxiliaries—these must all be anticipated, lest, through the nervous system, the discomtort affecting the physical sensibilines be reperted to the brain, and mental senstbilities of @ painful nacure be excited, Everything tending to supersede pleasurable mentai sensibility inust be riudiously avoided or effectually removed. The child from the ienement house shewld here acquire % taste of refinement, while his more favored class- mate must miss, fn our halis, move ef the necessary conforis.of home. Otherwise, sympathy will give place to aversion; the mental food otfered wil be reiused, or if forced the unwelcome ingredieats, dike umassimiladie sabstances ip the stomach, wil be culably injurious. Tue mental sensibilities are—those of the propen- fities, those of the intellectual powers and Luose of the Meal or spiritual feelings. The dirs are, as aboveween, excited primartiy by the physical; they are aiso AWakened and stimulated, indirectly, by the sensibilities of the intellect through the organs of special sense. The sensibilities of the intellect awakened primarily by the organs of special sens and act in accordance with the demands of the pro- pensities. This reciprocal action produces a con- Linuity m the natura: exercise of the mind. The sympathy gained and @ proper regard paid to the Bt Tapa age the teacher, guided by his phrenologt- eal skill, leads the activity into the prominent development Of the sociat group or of tue inteilectual faculties, and, through the child’s sensuous nature, operates upon his individuality in fixing attention upon the subject to be fllustrated, So tnsensibly 18 this accomplished that the child 1s unconscious of being under control; @ self-reliance is begotten, a ence is feit, and the skriful teache at will eto the strengthening of the weaker facul- to the diminisiing o! the activity of those vat ure naturally too susceptible. ‘The basis of an equalized fulness of mental opera. tion, subject to an orderly developed individuality, bet thus establisvea, the task of educating, susiead of being irksome te the teacher and repul- sive to tha child, 4 made au agreeable reciprocity between both, and predisposes to results beneficial to tke community at large. 8 \ ‘vhe peculiarity of the system proposed Is its strict dl nee topature, Every created rational being bas some pecallarity, which mn the harmonized sc has its Jegitimate function.

Ds, 144 Lexington avenue, rovers, 10,268,000 times a month, 196,144,000 times a year, THE HOLIDAYS are drawing near, and many are still at « loss to know what to select for Christmas Gifts. ‘To all such we would suggest WALTHAM WATCHES, ‘and would enforce our suggestions with @ recapitulation of their merits, | | THEY ARE THE CHEAPEST, THB MOST DURABLE, | THE MOST ACCURATE, | and of greater varcty than any other kind of Watches, ‘The price of these Watches has been reduced from time to I| time, and they are now lox 5 ian ever before, It isa well rt | known fact that the cost of any article, when made in large quantities, can, by the intelligent subdivision of labor, be greatly reduced, and when machinery is used in making tl every part the lowest minimum is obtained, The Waltham Factory is celebrated the world over for its II economical arrangement of labor, and for its wonderful and almost life-like machinery; and the fact that two thousand fintshed and perfect Watches wre produced there every wook explams why the Walthain Watch is not only the best ‘but the cheapest, For many years the English and Swiss furnished Watches for the world, The English Watch was the most substantial and the Swiss the most showy. In construction the Walt- ham Watch resembles the English more than the Swiss, but 4s less complicated than either. The greatest care 1s taken an the choico of material, and nothing ‘enters in the construc: tion of a Waltham Wateb but the very best, and in the course of manufacture every part te thoroughly tested and exam ined, and if in any way found defective it ts instantly re- jected. ‘When we consider that a Watch, unlike any other machin- ery, {s expected to run fn all positions, and without interrup- tion, year after year, it is not surprising that so many should prove unreliable, But this fault does not apply to Waltham Watches. Owing to the rect adjustment, they have proved to be the most accurate of all timekeepers, and thelr universal use by the conductors and engineers of all our railroads is the best evidence of | their reliability. The Waltham Watch is made of different grades and sizes, and we haveon exbibiiion and forsale over two hundred different styles in gold and silver cases, The great variety in the price of the Waltham Watches places them within the reach of all. We have Silver Watches in by € th open face and hunting cases of all sizes, and at pi 2 ‘ices ranging from $14 upward, | We have Ladies’ Gold Watches in some seventy different styles at prices from $70 upward, We have Gentlemen's | ‘Watches, both open face and hunting case, from $65 upward. ‘We have also the celebrated Waltham Stem Winder, which mont superior watch for gentlemen, in both engine turned and éngraved cases, also in the new style, plain fat case, for monogram, Every Watch we sell is fully warranted, and should It in any case prove unsatisfactory, we will cheerfully exchange it or refund the money, II | We could fll every column of this paper with unsolicited | complimentary letters, whi h we have received from persons in all parts of the country to whom we have sold these II Watches, but it is unnecessary; the Five Hundred Thousand | Waltamb Watches which are now in actual use ara the beat | evidence of their worth and popularity, I| We shali take pleasure in show! ing thes» Watches to all who I| ho 2 are interested, and to those annot visit our store In pr I son we will send an illustrated pamphlet and price Lat, | which affords tuli information in regard to their manufac- | ture, describes the different kinds, with prices of each, and texplaing our plan of sending themto any part of the coun ry by mall or express, without any risk to the purchaser. ‘We would suggest to thore who intend to purchase for the | holidays that they make an early selection, The assortment is more complete than {t will bo later to the month, and we can now give better attention to the engraving of initials, monograms and inkcr!ptions than daring the rush which al- ways precedes Christmas aud Now Year, HOWARD & ©0., Jewellers and Silversmiths, 863 Broadway, Hetween Seventoenti: and Eighteenth streots, New forks A GENUINE WALTHAM WATCH {a interchayeable, like a Springfield rifle—that ts, any part of one watch 1s exactly hike the same part {n another; and if ten watches of one grade were taken apart, and the screws, wheels, springs, &o., were mixed together, ten watched could be made by putting these parts together again without any reference to their former combination, ‘This fea great ad- vantage; for if any part of @ Waltham Watch je injured we oan always replace it at a triflipg expense, MISCELLANEOUS, : Pe a: rua. . ye % ak ttemalon ie Great meetin, ihe process of mfammation there is a rayid waste or wearing away of living tiague, hence the great heat; ihe drawn on the blood to repair this waste, and the greater thig ¢faft on the constiintion'the greater the loss of vital force, ‘Now, what is to be done, Farge, purge; for experience !

BRANDRETH’S PILLS GIVE EASE AND SLEEP. A.gentleman hed his leg broken in two places; the pal and {oflammation were very bad; he used various medicines, but none seemed to do him any good until he used BRAND: RETH’'S PILLS; every time he took them be was easier and could sleep.

BRANDRETH’S PILLS CURE ULCERS, We have several cases of remarkable eures of bad sores’ and ulcers of long standing by the use of BRANDRETH’S PILLS alone, In some of thevo cass the patients believed they would never be able to walk again. But the cures are perfect and thelr !imbs are now sound, ‘These parties can be’ referred to, and thetr testimony cannot be disputed, BRANDRETH’S PILLS CURE DIARRHGA. Mr, Wheeler, Engineer of Sing Sing,who served three years inthe war, when at Baton Rouge was taken down with Diar- rhea, Mr. Waller, who keeps a store there, and formerly of Sing Sing, gavo him two doses of BRANDRETH’S PILLS, which cured bim at once.
