TURKISH CHARACTER. At the present
time, when writers on eastern affairs are
either infected with the real or pretended
admiration of the Turkish character, or Civ
en- to the opposite excess, of despising, be-
yond all justice, the people, their habits,
and their institutions, we may refer to an
author who writes sensibly and impartially,
and who was not carried away by any par
ticular hostility to the Ottomans. The late
NJ. Matte Brun, in his memoir "On the
Greatness and Decay of the Turkish En-
PRE-" published since the beginning of the
present Greek war, has examined the prob
abilities as to the fate of that state. In an
swer to the question; Have the Turks de-
generated from what their ancestors were
at the epoch of the conquest? he affirms
that the Turks, as body, have now the
same character and the same qualities, good
and bad, with which the authors of the fif-
teenth century have represented them. In
dolent when at peace, sangulnary II lrritat-
ed, grasping and oppressive with their sub
lects, but honest towards strangers they
destroy villages and found hospitals they
respect their oath, but despise our princl-
pies of public right: they are alive to sem
timent of honor, but insensible to pity they
are attached to the monarchy, though they
revolt against the reigning Sultan; they
are gross and sensual in their ideas of pleas
ure, though moderate in the indulgence of
their passions, and they bear without muir
muring, sudden transition from luxury to
privations; they are generally good parents
and husbands, in spite of polygamy, which
is however, not universal among them, and
is with most a matter only of vanity and
pomp; they are capable of exaulted friend
ships but also prone to atrocious revenge {;
their courage>is sometimes displayed by an
almost chivalric temerity, and at other times
by stoical Indifference; they will rush re-
glrdless of numbers, into the enemy's ranks,
or allow themselves to be slaughtered with
the pipe in their mouth they pass with in
conceivable calmness from palace to exile
from a throne to the scaffold; they lay
down their life with the same GOODNESS with
which they have inundated their victims,
for they consider themselves as the humble
slaves Or fearful ministers of an irrevocable
destiny.
HAPPINESS. That all who are happy are
equally happy is not true. A peasant and a
philosopher may be equally satisfied, but
not equally happy. Happiness consists in
es. A peasant has not capacity for having
equal happiness with a philosopher. This
question was very happily illustrated by the
Rev. Mr.. Robert Brown, of Utrecht. A
small drinking lass and large one," said
he, "may be equally full, but large one
holds more than the small" -Johnson.

WORCESTER:
WEDNESDAY. JULY 8, 1928.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS,


The annual visitation and examination of the
public schools, in School District No. 1, (the
Centre District,) in Worcester, took place on
the 9th and 28th ult. The present system
and organization of these schools was first
adopted in 1924, and it is gratifying to say, that,
after four years trial, the experiment has fully
answered the expectations of its projectors,
who are now reaping the reward of their labors,
in the qualification which the peculiar advanta-
ges, secured to the rising generation, must af-
ford them. There are now seven public schools
in the district, kept the whole year, except the
usual quarterly vacations of two weeks each
They are, Latin Grammar School and an En-.
glish School, for boys; High School and
Second School, for females and three Prima-
ry Schools, at which boys and girls both are
admitted They are under the superintend-
ence of Board of Trustees, by whom they are
regularly examined every month.
The number Of scholars attending these
schools for the last quarter, has been about 350
In the winter, it is considerably larger Since
the introduction of the present system, the con-
dition of the schools has been regularly improv.
ing up to the present timo. The Improvement
for the last quarter, and particularly for the last
month of the quarter, has been so very striking
as 70 call forth the warmest Communications of
the board of overseers. The strict regard to
order and decornm, and the promptness and ac-
curacy manifested in the examination, which
was thorough and severe, were such as would
have been creditable to those of more advanced
years, and such as many seminaries of more
lofty name and pretensions, cannot exhibit
better evidence of the qualifications and assidu-
ity Of the teachers could neither be asked or
desired.
In the afternoon of the 25th the scholars Of
the several schools, under the direction of their
respective teachers formed procession, and
proceeded to the Centre Congregational Meet
ing House, where the usual Anniversary Ad-
dress was delivered by Isaac Goodwin, Esq.
Those who know his happy talent for this spe-
ces of composition, were not disappointed Of
the feast they had anticipated. The address
was chaste, eloquent, and impressive. We could
not but regret, that parents did not more gener-
ally attend on this interesting occasion. To DO
assured of their countonance and support, and
to have evidence of the interest which they feel
in the education of their children, adds new
stimulus to the exerton, Of their teachers, and
cheers them in the performance Of their ardU,
Gus and responsible duties,

D0ct. William Gite, was called to examine
| the deceased-found him hurt OH the right
side of the head and the skin grazed. He
died about midnight-upon examination af-
ter death found crack an inch or an inch
and half long on the right side of his
head-witness has no doubt but that this
fracture caused his death.
.Nenhemiah Prey, heard Blake say he had
given Seymour pretty hard blow and
meant to, as there was an attempt made to
put down his authority. This conversation
took place witness thinks in the presence of
Doctor Miller and Mr.. Moray on the same
day the accident happened.
Reuben SartOn Esq, the magistrate at the
court of inquiry gave description of the
school house the space between the bench
and platform where Seymour fell is 10 inch
es: if he lay on his left side blow might
be so directed as to hit his head, but if he
lay on his back blow could not have been
struck as to do the least injury on the side
of his head witness saw dint on the top
of the platform which is 20 inches high,
about inches from that part nearest where
Seymour lay, to which the top of the crutch
Just fitted. Persons sitting on the south side
of the house where Martha Weeks was
said to have been, could not have seen Sey-
mour's head as he lay between the bench
and the platform.
Cary Allen Esq, testified as to the inside
of the school house same as last witness !;
saw the dint in the platform to which the
head of the crutch fitted. 7.hs
In the course of the trial, the counsel for
the respondent offered testimony tending to
show that conspiracy had been formed by
the young Towards, with some of the other
large scholars, to put down Blake's authori-
ty in the school-indefnite hints of which
had been given to Blake. But this evidence
was rejected as inadmissible by the Court.
The respondents counsel also offered to
prove that subsequent to the death of Sey-
mour, school meeting was held in the
district, at which, with the exception of Mr..
Howard and one or two others, the district
voted to continue Blake in the school,
The evidence was rejected by the Court.
John Hall, of Sudbury, testified that
Blake had taught in his district one winter
and part of another,-that he was consid-
cred mild teacher. After the first winter,
in which he taught about six weeks, the
district voted unanimously to employ him
the secondhand the next fall after, they
again voted unanimously to employ him an
other winter if he could he obtained at their
price, but he could not.
Several other witnesses testified to the
respondents good character for mildness as
a teacher.
The case was submitted to the Jury a.
bout z o'clock in the afternoon of Thurs
! day.-They returned verdict of AcoUIr-
tai about o'clock in the afternoon of the
next day.

The house of Belguierie g. Co., of Bor-
deaux, being creditors of the Spanish gov
eminent, recently caused a seizure to be
made of the funds RENTED to M. Augodo,
Banker of the Court of Spain, for the pay
ment of the interest of the royal Loan
Messrs. Ternaux & Gaudolphe, creditors of
the Haytian Government, likewise seized in
France merchandise belonging to the Re-
public of Hayti. The Spanish government
and President Boyer were recently sum-
moned relative to the validity of these seiz-
ures. The two affairs came on in the first
week of May before the tribunal de Pre-
mier Instance, in Paris, which, after hear
ing the Counsel for the different parties, de-
clared itself incompetent to take cognizance
of the affair, upon the ground that Govern
ments were independent, and that this in
dependence could not be attacked without
a liability to reprisals that might disturb
peace and tranquility among the nations.

of these dog-trains, and particular descrip-
ton of the mode of travelling. The dogs
are trained to turn, halt, and go by word of
command; the whip being used only to
crack at them, or to give them a severe
whipping if obstinate. When the traveller
wishes his dogs to turn to the left he says
"chuck," and cracks his whip on the right
side of his train; if to the right he says
"gee," and cracks it on the left side. When
he wishes them to start or quicken their
pace, he says "march," or "avance," (auGn-
cez-advance y when he wishes to turn about
he commonly gets out, or puts one foot out,
slews the train partly round, and says "vena
isse," fuenez ici-come here:) making a
motion with his whip at the same time. The
travellers sleep in the woods when on jour-
neys. They first seek thicket to protect
them from the winds; then dig away the
snow to the ground, and build large fire.
They then cover spot close to the fire with
boughs Of evergreens, on which they spread
a blanket, lay themselves down with their
feet to the fire, and dogs, and all, sleep COM
fortably through the coolest night.
