Referring to the Washington fisheries legislation, the Globe says: The United States sen ate, since it became a caucus of plu- tucrats, has displayed little states manship. Its decadenoe in the general esteem- will be furthered by its retaliatory fisheries bill. When no "regular evidence was before them, and with none in refutal of the state ments of angry fishermen, the sena tors of the United States have brought Canada -up for trial and pronounced her guilty and put the weapon For her punishment into the president's hands. The use of that weapon will injure American trade at least as much as Canadian trade. It docs not lessen the contempt due to the sena torial legislators, that their game in its diplomatic aspect is the old one of alarming Great Britain into ball dozing Canada.

Editor Asterian: The class in "Methods of teaching'' still continues to increase in number, there now being about sixty-five members. The lectures have been discontinued and the text book taken up. The book used is Raub's meth ods of teaching, and can be ordered by any teacher, through the Port land bookstores, for $1.50 per copy. When once had teachers will find such a book indispensable in connec tion with their school work. Tho teachers institute that is held monthly in Polk county, met at Dallas on the 22nd inst., and was largely attended by teachers from the various parts 01 the county. Meet ing was opened by Prof. Robinson, prmaipal of Dallas Academy. The first subject on the programme, was "-How to secure best study," discus sion being opened by Prof. P. L. Carnpbell, of Monmouth. He argued that in the first" place the teacher must be fall of energy and inspira tion before the class can be inspired, and the teacher must have a full knowledge of the text book taught, and have a general knowledge on all matters pertaining to that subject. A teacher that has not such qualifi cations will find very little interest in his classes. Also that a rule laid down for one teacher and set of pu pils, will not "answer for another. After a few other remarks the sub ject was taken up by Mrs. Townsend of Dallas, and after a brief discussion had been given by her. Prof. Hutch inson was called for. He claims that children should be taught to tell what they know in their own language, and n6t the language of the book; he does not requiro a pupil to memorize but three rules in the written arithmetic, namely: the rule for multiplication, division and decimals. Ho teaches the principles and says if they aro thoroughly understood, the pupil can form rales for themselves. You cannot pour knowledge into a child's head; tho subject taught must first be analyzed, for, as Ranb ex presses it, "a child's mind is more synthetic than analytic.'' Miss Katie Bristow, primary teach er of Monmouth, explained methods for securing the best study by the little ones. A question by Miss Glass, a teacher of Dallas, "Should promotion be used as an incentive to study," was answered by Prof. P. L. Campbell on the negative, classing promotion in with prizes, and should be used only as a last resort to secure study. But here the writer disagrees. I think promotion should be used iu every school that it can be used in. After a few remarks from others the association adjourned to meet at one p. m. The first subject taken up in the afternoon session was "Calisthenics m the school room," and after being disoussed by several teachers, the passed to the subject of "How to spend Friday afternoons," which is an important subject to many teach ers, and especially to young ones and; luose 01 nine experience, rroi. xtoo inson gave a great many useful hints on that subject, such as orations not orations in the fullest sense of the word, but teaching young pupil to feoite what they themselves havt written without referring to their pa per. Trysimply philosophical exper ments and explain the cause and the effect; quotations from different au thors, and study the biography of the -luthors; and various other things that I have not the time nor space to mention. A number of other teacher? ave their experience of Friday after noons, which was eagerly devoured by inexperienced teachers. The Institute was well entertained with recitations and music. The subjects to be discussed at next meeting are: "How to teach civil government;" (2) "Language lessons;" (3) "How to teach primarj pupils writing;" (4) "Object lessons.'' The society adjourned, to meet February 26, 1837, at Independence. Tho intermediate examinations at the Normal are to be held this week..

The career of Charles Foulk, alias Charles Watson, the gentleman gam bler who was shot and killed at Hot Springs by a negro policeman, "a snore time ago, was an eventtui one. He was tall and handsome, cool as an icicle, dressed in exquisite taste, and his manner and conversation were every inch the elegant, refined gentle man. His friends never wearied of lauding his bravery, and his enemies did not gainsay them. As an mstauco of his great nerve, a sporting resident of Kansas City tells a reporter of the Times the follow ing narrative: "Some years ago a soldier was found with a bullet in his heart on a bridge near Carlisle. He w"a3 of gambling p"ropehsitiesancl an avowed enemy of Foulk. The lat ter with another gamblerVas changed with the crime and placed on trial. The men were given separate trials and Foulk was tried first and acqit ted on an undoubted alibi. By the way, Foulk was a firm believer in the 'Tony Weller' doctrine, and in all the scrapes in which" he was con cerned he never failed to prove an alibi. The evidence in the trial of Foulk's supposed accomplice was damaging to the prisoner at the bar. One lady, who lived near the scene of tho shooting, identified the pris oner and sworo that she heard a pistol shot, rau to the door and saw him running hatless from tho sceno of the murder. She was certain that it was the accused man, because there was a lighted gas lamp near her door which enabled her to get a good view of his features. Other evidence equal ly strong was introduced by tho state, and a conviotion seemed as sured." "When the defense opened no one believed that the case mado by the state could bo shaken. Foulk was tho first witness for the defense, and a-i it was well known that ho was to testify tho court-room was crowded to suffocation. As ho was sworn and took the stand there was a perfect qn.e. Every one had a idea that thcro vras something coming, but no one ."as prepared for wuat happened. As Foclk took his seat on the witness-stand, he turned to the stern, grayhaired judgr, and in a cloar, calm voice that could be heard in ev ery part of tho room, said:" ' 'Judge, before I testify iu this case I want to ask you a question. Can I ever be tried anain for the kill ing of that soldier?' T "For a moment thj silence was al most painful. People in tho rear of the room placed their hands back of their heads 111 order to hear better, but no one but the venerable judge seemed to have guessed what was coming. He evidently did. for he re plied in solemn, severe tones-, that were rendered all the more improssive by the deathly stillness:" " 'So far as human law is concerned," Mr. Foulk, you ar a free- man. No earthly tribunal"-can try you again. For any part5Von may have taken in this murderyouwill have, to answer only to"thergreaf'Judge be fore whom we must all be arraigned. Between you and your Maker this, case now rests.' '' "I heard these wofrds and I" shall never forget them. Foulk was the only person in the room who was not affected. As coolly as if talking to a circle of friends, he replied:'' " 'Thank you, Judge; you are a man of honor and know the law, and I be ieve you. I wish to solemnly swear, then, thatl killed that soldier. You have acquitted the wrong mau.' " "The effect of this cool, deliberate statement, made in a voice that never trembled and could be heard by ev ery one in the court room, may be imagined. At once tho silence was broken by exclamations of surprise and indignatiou, which, however, were quickly suppressed by the judge. Then, as coolly as he had made the confession. Foulk told tho story of the murder. He said that as ho was crossing the bridge ho mot tho sol dier going iu an opposite direction. They were old enemies and had re cently had a quarrel over the green cloth. Foulk said that as soon as the soldier saw him lie drew hissaber and started for him. 'Not wishing to kill him,, IVulkcon tinned, 'I drew a little old-fashioned pepper-box re volver and shot at him four times, but as he still kept coming at me I jumped off the bridge, drew my forty hve and killed him. I did it in self defense. If I had not killed him he would have killed me.' " "Tho evidence of the lady who swore that she saw the prisoner at the bar running hatles3 past her door was easily explained, and fnr nishes another evidence of Foulk's wonderful nerve. When ho jumped off the bridge bis hat fell off and floated down the stream. When the soldier fell Foulk ran up tho street, but did not spo the lady standing al the door. When he had gone a little way he remembored that his name was written in his hat, and that if it was found it would bo used as evi dence against him. Waiting for a moment, and seeing that no one had been attracted by the shot3, he delib erately returned to tho sceno of the shooting, waded down the Btream, found his hat, and went up town through an alley. That was nerve. The lady was honest in her testimo ny, but she was simply mistaken, as was afterward proved conclusively. Of "urao the def-ndn-t was dis- char?d. As to j?onIl rf uhbi well. he cJ.ild always get an alibi when he wanted one. His story of the killing wa3 afterward proved to bo .exactly correct. Altogether tho scene in the court room wa3 a very dramatic one, and I doubt if it has ever been equaled."
