for tyranny"
The display of Shoerberger's Mill was
exceedingly good, and attracted much at
tention. A brass band led, and was fol
lowed by carriage, occupied by the pro-
pretors, Messrs. Shoenberger. One of the
wagons had on board nail machine in full
full operation, and distributed them as il
went along. One of the banners bore the
following inscription: "Free Lands for Free
Labor. With Lincoln Nails and Old Abe.
Rails we'll fence out the Niger Democra
cy."
The two wagons of the delegations o.
of Jones & Lauth's works were preceded
by herald, whose fixing up was truly in
describable, and the cause of infinite mer
riment wherever it appeared. To come
near it, would say it looked like compro
mise between a clown, an Indian and a
Caliban.
The Kensington Works, with three wag-
ons and over sixty men, looked, well. The
most noticeable motto on their banners
was, sour employers don't drive us TO the
pols," an indignant denial of the assertion
of Herschel V. Johnson to this effect, on
last Saturday night.
The Duquesne Excelsior Works mum
bered somewhere about one hundred men
and had four wagons, and their dray loaded
with boxes duly marked. Workmen were
busy in all the wagons, fitting, furnishing
and packing saddlery, hardware, etc.
The Pennsylvania Works turned out
four wagon loads of workmen, and bore a
banner with the words, "Good for sixty
votes for Lincoln and Curtin"
The Duquesne Works. Hailman, Rahm
q Co., had over one hundred men out, and
five wagons. They carried several banners
One of them bore the inscription, "You
can't subdue u.s." alluding to the threat Of
Douglas.
Smith, Parke q Co., of the Ninth Ward
Foundry, made good display, numbering
some sixty men. One of their wagons
contained foundry in full operation, with
engine, moulding, castings, etc.

Nor scatter roses here
All once my heart WAS happy, light,
Time passed on golden hours,
And youth seemed but a garland bright,
OF summers fairest flowers
But winter came and blighted all,

TEE PACIFIC RAILROAD BILL.

/
hill bashaan introduced into Congress-. entitled
"a bill to establish communication by railroad and
telegraph between the Atlantic States and Cali
fornia y of which this article gives the merits in
| more pointed and ineligible shape than as they
are deyeIoped by the cautionary wording Of prolix
statutory yerbiage. The bill is none the less a good
one though it provides aid and encouragement for
Northern Pacific Railroad equal to that which it
secures to the Southern Pacific Road, both because
unless it WAS SO framed there could be no hope of
its passage, and because a Southern route has
nothing to dread in the way Of competition with
Northern road to the Pacific, for the reason that
while Northern route is scarcely practicable from
the nature of the country and its climatic viciss
tudes. if is also several hundred miles longer than
that by which the Southern road proposes TO reach
the waters of the Western Ocean; and while that
road will have its eastern terminus in Missouri and
therefore, almost in the heart OF the continent the
Southern read will bring its freight and passengers
almost within sight Of the waters Of the Eastern
world.
With these remarks on the comparative merits of
the two routes. we will proceed to give the sub
stance IL t,a Hi nav brought to the attention Of

THE SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.

The examination on Friday Was that Of the Eisk
Boys School, at the corner Of rerdido and Frank
lin streets. Mr.. Alfred Shaw is the Principal his
assistants are Mr. T. ". Dresser, Ars. R. j. MeKeon,
| Miss Carrie Kasson, Miss E. A. Paddon, and Miss
Harriet A. Suter. The school numbers about 3I2
pupils, comprising all the different types of young
America which flourish so profusely in the rear
part of the First District.
We were present during the drill Of the senior
class, in charge OF the Principal. We found the
boys as good in the general branches as any we
have seen SO far, and some of them as bright and
knowing il they were little old men. rather than
boys Two peculiarities Of Mr.. shaw's system of
instruction forced themselves upon our ohserYa-
ton, and could not but win our commendation. One
of these is the extensive use Of the black k-hoards.
in the demonstration of grammatical analysis
For instance, sentence being given, the words
are placed above and below each other or other-
wise reversed in position, and connected BIZ lines,
according to their grammatical and logical reln-
lions. This exercise has much aided the boys in
getting ut the principles Of the language; study
which, as ordinarily confined to the books, Is one
Of the most difficult that . schoolboy has to en-
counter.
The other extra feature of Mr.. Shaw's system is
that of teaching the 6oys with their spelling and
definition Of words, the meaning or root Of the
Latin prefixes and snffxes. He does this with the
aid of book called the "Scholars Companion, ,
which, we believe, is not used in any other city
school. The boys were exercised some time in
thus defining words Of Latin Derivation nnd aequit
ted themselves with great credit. This exercise
not only ensures correct system of spelling, but
divests Latin Of its earliest rgors upon entering
superior school. Cutie number Of Mr.. shaw's
boys are candidates for the High School. The geo
graphical, historical and arithmetical displays Of
these boys we're very good.
The only other classroom we had time to visit
/ was that OF Miss Kasson, third assistant. Her
/ boys, of the middle grade in the school, showed
| themselves to be an uncommonly wide-awake set-
i We never saw higher spirit Of emulation u any
crowd Of little boysail seeming to burst with the
answers that were in them, aud writhing as II in
main when the answer refused to come. One Of
| these boys. a French boy, who had entered tho
school ana commenced the study Of English but 4
| two months previously. recited an English poem
in styie that was quite wonderful for its clear
ness ana its correctness of pronunciation.
The examinations viii be continued and CON-
eluded this week. To-day win De examined the
Matshall School, on st Mary street between lsired
and Julia.
To-day. also, begins the examination Of the
Girls High School, Clio streea, between pryta-
MIA and Nayadess This examination viii last four
days.
