Common Schools.

We can scarcely find terms to express our graft
fcation on being assured by the Superintendent of
Common Schools, that the spirit of education is
strong and hopeful among the masses and the
memory OF trials overcome inspires courage to
meet the lesser difficulties aow confronting us.
The feeling, usual among the people is, that The
schools must not go dorn
When told that the Literary Fund has been
greatly reduced, and although they feel themselves
unable to pay high taxes, yet they will not permit
themselves to believe that the public schools will
fail
Mr.. Wiley warns the authorities against the de-
fusion Of suspending the common schools for q
more convenient season. He argues, to suspend IS
to destroy.
He alledees, it is doubtful whether we will ever
accumulate a larger permanent school fund; we
never will, if we permit generation to grow up
with ant education. When We lose orr Intelligence,
we lose our appreciation Of it, lose the will to
make sacrifices for it, and the energy to preserve it.
To those who ask, how are TO support the
schools he answers reply at once, by using the
principal of the fund as long it will last. In all
moral concerns our business is with the present ;
if we will look to the things of to-day, those Of
tomorrow will take care Of themselves. On the
other hand, if We neglect the duties Of the hour,
we are sowing ruin for the future. We are not yet
prepared to give assent to this proposition to
expend the principal of the fund, but our space is
limited, and we must defer all remarks for a more
favorable time.

FIRES AND EARTH OILS.

Our TRENDS across the AllantlC, II we
are any longer. permitted so to designate
them, act upon a much better organised
system than English Fire Insurance Com
panies have provided in protection of
their interests. We may adduce, in proof
of the correctness of this statement, the
last Fire MarshaI's Report to the Corpo-
ration and Police Justices of the City
and County of New York. We place
the document before our readers, with
out abridgment as that portion of it
which relates TO the storage of earth oils,
may be as useful TO many persons, into
whose hands it will pass as if it had
been a report addressed to the Lord
Mayor of London.
In submitting my usual semi-annual
report for the half year ending the 3Oth
November, 1862, [ have the honour to
lay before you q detailed statement of all
the fires and fire alarms that have occur
red during that period.
You will also find set forth in it the
origin of each fire, as far as could be as
certained by the testimony taken, or
by circumstances connected Herewith.
The report specifies the amount of in
surance, and alleged losses, together with
the sums paid, likewise special notices,
of many cases Of interest.
EARTH OILS,
In several Of my former reports | took
occasion to press upon your notice the
dangers attending the un%regulated stor-
ing of petroleum oils. The anticipations
which I expressed in the beginning have
since been borne out by repeated and
disastrous accidents, involving consider
able loss of property. These results,
taken in connection with the immense
increase of this branch of business, lent
force to the recommendations that | had
urged for a careful investigation into the
quantity and quality of these oils, and
the conditions under which they should
be permitted to be stored or exposed for
general use within the city limits.
The Board Of Aldermen, taking action
upon the subject, referred it to a Com
mittee consisting of Aldermen Freer,
Mitchell, and Brady, with instructions to
report an ordinance that would protect
the public against a recurrence of acct
dents from this source. At the request
of the frst-named gentleman, I drafted
some regulations for the storage and sale
of these oils, on which the Committee
called a meeting for the purpose of hear
ing the views of the parties interested.
The following is a copy of the ordinance
e~mbodying them -

Dear Sir!
AS prevention is better than cure, l
would ask the favor of you to have in
serted in one of your early Numbers, the
Article on Fire and Earth Oils in post

The last fire having been occasioned
by the careless handling Of a lamp with
said oil, no measures of prudence in stor-

should be neglected.

SNAKES VS.. ToADs.-In the village Of K,
West Virginia, lives an old man known as
Uncle Paul, noted for his eccentricities and
fnndness for natural history. Quite crowd
had collected at the Post Office. waiting anx-
iously for the war news Uncle Paul enter
tained the crowd by telling the old cat story !;
how they fought till nothing was left of them
but the tips of their tails, &c. A rough
looking specimen of humanity, from the
country seemed TO drink in every word the
old man said about the cats. To be even with
him he remarked:
Why, Uncle Paul. that's pretty good
story, but it's nothing to what saw yester-
day. / was coming down the mountain, and
saw, near a little brook, water snake trying
to swallow a toad"
"a III right. nothing strange about that"
replied Uncle Paul. Just read tie Natural
History, and it will tell you water snakes
live on toads."
Yes, maybe it will," said the country
man but, you see, the snake, when / first
saw it. had the toad's hind legs in its mouth,
and the toad swirmed around till it got the
snakes tail in its mouth, and in less than
minute they swallowed each other. and you
couldn't see sign Of either of them"
All enjoyed the joke, except Uncle Paul,
and left for home, saying that it was II lie,
and there was nothing like it in Natural
History.

Will you open the door for poor Shaun?

He gets-the sly rogue-such smile for his pains,
While the door is kept shut upon me.

To live wild the angels, to whom ye belong,
Ye will open the door, thin, for me.

SECRETARY SEwARD's BUSINESS
IN HAvANA.--A special Washington
correspondent of the N. Y. Ne,os,
writing on the 3Oth ult., gives more
specific statement of the results of
Mr.. Stewards recent visit to Havana
than we have as yet received: +
The Secretary of State arrived
here on Sunday from Havana, hav-
ing successfully accomplished most
important diplomatic mission. On
Monday he had long interview
with the President, to whom he com
municated the results of this mission
At the Cabinet meeting to-day, all
the members were present, and the
matter was made the subject of
special discussion. [ have before in
timated that the object of Mr.. Sew
ards visit to Havana was to bring
about a peaceful and honorable set
Element of the Mexican question. |
am now able to state positively that
he was invested by the President
with extraordinary and plenipoten-
tiary powers for this purpose. A
high officer OF Maximilian's Govern
ment, clothed with similar powers,
met Mr.. Seward at Havana and an
interview took place there, at which
the basis of the settlement was agreed
upon. The agreement does not pro-
vide for the recognition of Maxi
milan, nor does it require the Uni
ted States to make any change in
her foreign policy, nor to abandon
any cherished principle. am not
even aware that Mr.. Seward made
any pledges or promises whatever;
but on the same day that the De
Soto left Havana, French steamer
left that port for Vera Cruz, and it
bore to Macmillan the verbal as
surance that the policy of neutrality
on the part of the United States to-
ward Mexico would be continued and
strictly enforced.
To-day Mr.. Seward communicated |
to the Cabinet the gratifying fact |
that the evacuation of Mexico by |
the French troops would be com
menced Immediately, and that it
would be our own fault if that evacu-
alton was not complete before next
July. The Mexican question is now |
in a fair way to be settled peacefully |
and honorably, and there are only |
two ways by which that settlement
can be retarded-frst, by violations
of neutrality on the Rio Grande.; |
and second, by the introduction in
and passage by Congress, of often
sive and injudicious resolutions like
those of Schenck's. |
