The Public Schools.-The city councils have
passed a joint resolution directing the committee
appointed by the two boards to represent the in
terests of the corporation before Congress, to ask
for a donation of lands for the support of common
school education in Washington,
While new States and territories, particularly,
have had large tracts of public lands set apart for
that purpose, this city has received no aid what
ever from Congress; the support of the schools
being derived altogether from individual taxation.
During the first session Of the last Congress,
a memorial appealing to Congress, and signed by
thousands of our citizens, was presented by Mr..
Chandler, OF the House, and by Mr.. Hunter, of the
Senate; but there was no final action upon the
subject for g want of time' the old, but not popu-
lar, plea Tor postponcment or non-consideration
of important measures. However, we earnestly
trust that tho application will be renewed at the
next Congress, and with a successful result.

day evening, participating in the interesting SER
vices pertaining to foreign missions. After an
introductory prayer and remarks by the rector,

a full account of his operations and good results in
that widespread field of labor; adverting to the
manners and customs of the natives of that be-
nighted quarter of the globe, and to their many
necessities. An appropriate hymn was then sung,
when the Rev. Mr.. Wright delivered a brief and
neat address, and was followed by the Rev. DR..
May, a professor in the theological seminary near
Alexandria, Virginia, in a strain of dignifed and
beautiful remarks. "From Greenlands icy noun
tain" and "Blest be the tie that binds our Chris
tian hearts in love- were among the hymns sung
on this occasion.
The names of the Missionaries on the. eve Of
departure for Africa are: Rev. Mr.. Rambo and
wife, Rev. Mr.. Wright and wife, DR.. Steele and

tience the act Of the cabinet which shall show that
it means to carry out in good faith the wishes and
intentions Of the national democrats who nomi-
mated and elected General Pierce. Also declaring
that though they have confidence in General

his removal being attributed to Mr.. Gushing.

Alarming Railroad Accident.--ALBANY, NOE.
1.-The express train from New York, last even
ing, was stopped, when near Barrytown, by a
breakage of the forward driving wheel Of the en-
CINE, throwing it from the track, bending the con-
Meeting rod like a hoop, and doing considerable
other damage. The train was in the causeway,
crossing over one of the fluctuations of the river.
1t was a miracle that the whole train was not
thrown down the embankment, which would have
caused a fearful loss of life. AS it was, no one
was seriously hurt.

Virginia Central Railroad.-The annual re-
port Of the President shows that the receipts of
the last year, ending the 3oth September, amount
TO S210,052 IL, an excess of 1888 II over the
previous year, while the expenses have not in
creased in the same ratio. The board recently
declared a dividend often per cent. on that part of
the stock created by the acts Of ls36-3s-47-4s
and 81, that being the stock expended on the part
of the road now in use. The report urges the
policy Of pushing the work to an early completion,
and for this purpose recommends an application TO
the legislature for a sufficient increase of capital
stock and also for a loan, on mortgage, lest the
money might not be speedily raised by subscrip-
ton.

The Fishermen.-The Gloucester Telegraph
states that "some of the vessels which have ar
rived home, within the few days past, have made
poor voyages, the whole twenty-five not averaging
one hundred barrels Of mackerel each. The sea-
son, taken together, will prove to be one of the
poorest for many years. The Telegraph states,
also, that the Gloucester fishermen doubt the
truth Of The story reported by Captain Littlejohn,
ofthe schooner Lookout, that she had ninety bar
rels of mackerel taken from her by the British
cruisers. They think that nothing but the truth
should be told respecting the treatment of the
American fishermen by the British cruisers"
