MIDDLE-CLANS EDUCATION AT WIYBORNIC
" Alpha," writing to a Poole contemporary offers some
conai.lemtiona in reference to the Whabomo Grammar
School, which are of general application and deserve the
thoughtful perusal of all interested In middle-class educa-
tion. Ho remarks ,
- - - - -

By far the greater 1111110.0 r of middle class boys go 41
some kind of trade, business, or mercantile pursuit. and
their school work must end, when they begin their spocial
calling to learn to gain a livulihuod.
- - • • • •

Now I ask is there a slack) public school within a
radius of twenty miles, aye, or twice twenty miles, where
a middle clam boy can obtain a middle class education,
adapted to the present times, and suited to his present
wants and future prospects
. _ - • • - •

••--- - - •
T. uy that the Witaborno Grammar School now affords
mivli an education is to say what id very wide of tho mark,
and what to not borne out by the runiculum of the
school, which to slatted and intended for teaching the
antiont classics chiefly, and for preparation for the
university.

The following table, taken from • reliable source will
show better than a thousand argurnentc the truth of the
above. During the tuidciumer term, which ended the 23rd

THE DOMET MILITIA BAND.
To the Editor.

-
In former years during the militia training it has been
one of the mild excitements of the time to hear the band
play from the barracks down to Cornbill, at mid day and
afternoon, when the re.rinient returned from drill, and
many people enjoyed it, But this year their martial
music is no more heard in our streets, the band ceasing
to play on the homeward march as soon as the town
appears in view; awl this, I hear, is to prevent the towns-
folk from hearing the So far has this prohibition
been carried that at the officers' mess, on gala nights,
when the band plays for the delectation of the company,
the perforniem, who have heretofore been in the street,
where promenaders could enjoy the tannic, have been
Placed inside the house, removed from public hearing.
And disappointed lieges tell with glee of the terrible din
and roar the dinner party suffered, ,1 the ntifling
atmosphere the bawl endured as that even the drum "bout
up" by stress of heat, and of the very general illustration
of "cutting off your nose to spite your face" which the
new order of things has entailed on everybody conceniwl ;
and it is now currently reported that henceforward the
band will be mounted on the top of a water-butt in the
back garden ! On Saturday afternoon the bawl played at
the militia barracks for the entertainment of the militia,
but, of course, not half-a-doaen of them attended, and the
few inhabitant& who went up to hear the performances
were kept outside the gates. But we townsfolk still have
the unspeakable gratification of hearing the blare of the
bugles very frequently, and while that pleasure remains,
shall. I have no doubt, be happy.

LATEST NEWs.
REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE. \
Owing to the brilliant weather the wheat trade has.
remained in a very dull state, and not unfruu tIY a ' further reduction of one shilling • quarter has been sub- !
raitted to rather than ref use business. The stock of
wheat in London on the 30th of April was only 37.1.11/0 qrs.;
This Is the smallest total held in London for more than !
thirty years put, and lees than that held at the same time
Lut year by more than 140,000 qrs., yet the knowledge of
the fact has not had the least effect upon the trade owing
to the numerous I 'tiers for prompt or early shipment per
steamer, mostly from the Black Sea ports and Montreal.
At Liverpool the stuck has of Into considerably increased,
about 138,000 quarters, mostly I 'llif ~,,, ian. having arrived
during the week. The juantity of wheat now on plumage
from all parts to the 1 nited Kingdom is about 110,000
starters, 01. about 7.0110 qoarters lee x than last veer.
Barley has been drooping, and maize rather easier. Oats
have fallen lq. to is. ill. on the week. Beans, peas, and
flour inactive.

THE STRENGTH OF YEOMANRY REGIMENTS.
The Wiltshire yeomanry were inspected last Friday,
mustering 112 strong. The blarquis of Ailesbury, address-
ing the regiment subsequenty, said it was not right that
officers should be expected to go from house to house
soliciting men to join the regiment: it would much more
become men to come forward and offer their services, for
he thought every young man should serve some portion of
Mil life in some military capacity, It rested entirely with
the men, as be had said, as to whether or not its strength
was to be kept up, and it was of the utmost iniportance
that it should, because the Government had determined
to disband all such yeomanry regiment, that lid not keep
up a strength of lOU, and failed to turn out 350 men in the
field. He would, therefore, call upon then, to do their
utmost to induce yong men to join the regiment—a regi-
ment he was so proud and pleased to command.

was 4t. fin. high: he bad a round head, coarse, black,
woolly hair, and a dark brown skin. The forehead was
low and slightly retreating, the lower part of the face
projecting like the muzzle of a monkey, and the mouth,
' which WWI small and oval, with thick lips, protruded
I about an inch beyond the nose : he had short, bandy
. legs, a comparatively long body, and anus that extended
I almost to his knees, the back just above the buttocks

' trudeil. The hands and fingers were dumpy and always
I contracted, so that they could not he made to stretch out

\with thick skin (more especially the tile of the lingers), the
nails were small and imperfect, and the feet broad and
thick skinned all over. The woman was the same height

hair black, long, and straight and the features well
formed. This quaint folk occasionally eat flesh, but feed
chiefiv upon roots and honey. They have no fixed dwell.
