None of the proposals for gunboats for
the navy come up to the requirements for
draft and swiftness.
Gen. Franklin has been nominated by
the President as BreYet Brigadier General
of the Regular Army and Major General Of

1t is the current belief that Congress
will adjourn sine die by next Monday, the
business before it being already reduced to
only few prominent measures, all other
matters to be disposed of without much
controversy.
The Committee af Ways AID Means will
have disposed of all the bills originating

one, making additional appropriations,
small in amount, for certain civil ex-
| penses.
The Tariff bill, with the Senate amend
ment, will be returned tothe House to-mor-

The Confscation bill is pending in the

SRI am reliably informed that the
sugar crop of Louisiana last year was
$4,000 hogsheads, of l, 100 pounds each.
l This is said to be $4,000 hogsheads more
than the crop of any previous year OF
this crop, there were in New Orleans when
taken by our troops, say $4,000 hOgsheads,
chiefly held by foreigners, and there yet
remain on plantations say 100000 hogs
heads, equivalent in all to say $50 tons
It is thought by gentlemen conversant with
the trade, that this quantity viii nearly il
not quite supply the wants Of the country

next fall. Shipments 10 Western ports art
already begun. These facts suggest the
expediency Of such internal duties on do.

the revenue expected from the import du-

Board Of Eduearion.
SPECIAL NETTING.

The meeting was called to order by the
President, Harvey Rice.
Present-Messrs. Jones, Clark, Collier,
sPeiman, Friend, Rice, Cushing, Redington,
and HarmeI.
The Committee on Teaehers-Messr
-Clask, Jones and Cushing, presented the fol-
lowing report:
The first duty Of the Board is, evidently, to
provide in the best manner possible for the
wants Of the pupils Of the schools, without
reference 70 the claims Of any particular
teacher. There are, undoubtedly, cases fire.
gently arising where sympathy or friendship
greatly influences the Judgment Of those
who are called upon to fill vacancies or fix
compensation. This is another evil Of the
present system Even a oursory examina-
sion viii show the fact that teachers Of very
ordinary ability are retained, at the highest
rate Of salary, in several Of our schools, while
others, possessing far greater ability and
tact, and, therefore, far more successful and
Talusble, are paid much less. It is plainly
to be seen that such course is not only IN
just to 3 considerable class Of worthy teach
ers, but rkaf its effect upon the schools them
selves is most injurious. Ifit be desirable
that children should be taught at all, it is no
less desirable that they should be taught,
not only well, but as well as possible. II a
reasonable salary viii command a competent
teaeher, it seems to this Committee to be
mistaken economy to employ a person who
.oannot be deemed competent, merely because
such one can be obtained at few dollars
les per snnum.
IL is evident that charity in this, as in
many other eases, has covered a multitude Of
sins and probably in the listing Of the city
schools, many teachers have been retained
from year to year simply because they ap-
peared to have no other means Of support, OF
because they had been previously long en-
ployed. However laudable these motives
the Committee believe the principle to be q
bsd one, inssmRch as the schools are moi
asylums, and the one thing 70 be considered il
the progress and improvement Of the child
ren.
Secondly, therefore, and principally, it ap-
pears q your Committee, that a tsaOhei
should be psid, not according to the greater
OF less value Of his services, but on the con
trhTy, certain standard Of excellence
should be fixed upon, according 10 the grad'
Of the school, and the proper compensation b
determined, as nearly as possible, and fixed
the teacher being found to fit the salary
rather than the salary the teacher.
Having reached this conclusion, the Com
mittee unanimously agreed in recommending
the adoption Of the following rates Of pay
prOPortioned to the grade and class Of school

In a review o. a recent look Of missionary
travels in Africa, Chambers ,JOarHai gives the foi-
lowing account Of one Of the tribes found in that
t~eua-incognita
The strsngest Of all stories is told of Dokos,
who i've among the moist, warm, bamboo woods
to the south Of ka1a ana Gusa. Only four feet
high, of a dark, olive color, savage and naked
they have neither houses nor temples, neither
FIRE nor human food. They live only Oh ants,
mice and serpents, diversified by a few roots
and fruits they let their nails grow long like
taions, the better to dig for ants, and the more

They 10 not marry, put live the indiscriminate
lives Of animals, multiplying very rapidly, and
very little maternal instinct. The mother nurses
her child for only a short lime, accustoming
it to eat ants and serpents as soon as possible,
Ind when It can help itself, il wandeTs away
where It will, and the mother thinks No more
about 1t.
The DokOs are invaluable as slaves, and are
taken IN large numbers. The SHAREHOLDERS hold
up bight-colorsd clothes assoon as they come
to the moist, warm bamboo woods where these
human monkeys live, and the poor Dokos cannot
resist the attractions offered by such superior

Samuel B. Todd, brother Of Mrs. Lincoln, died
on the battle field Of Shiloh, of wounds received
in the action of the 9Th Of April. The New

the Crescent regiment, and died in defense o.
his country against the hirelHag invaders whom
the husband of his sister, Mr.. Abraham Lincoln,
sent to desolale our country and dishonor our
people. It must be a pleasant reflection to MIS-
Abraham Lincoln, amid her vulgar attempts to
ape royal fashions, with her balls and soreeS at
the Federal capital, that a gallant brother should
have thus fallen by the hands of her husbands
