Mr.. smyth called upon several gentlemen
to speak, and among them were the venera-
bic Mr.. Charles Bradburn, former Chairman
of the Board of Education. He enforced
the necessity of forming strict habits of
promptness, and was followed by MI. Hor-
ace Benton, who told of a merchant of this
city, formerly of an Eastern city, who lost
5000 0 through the hardness of his partner
who, had he been two hours earlier at the
War Department-at the hour named
might have secured a contract which
awaited his appearance. L. NJ. Pitkin,
Esq, President of the Board of Education,
followed in a few appropriate remarks, and
was succeeded by Mr.. Isaac A. Isaacs, who
told the story of an old Partisan who re-
Gently committed suicide because he had
always been unfortunate in nc. being
prompt. He hoped none of the scholars
there present would ever hsve to commit
suicide in a fit of misery occasiOned by the
consciousness hat their bad luck was owing
to irregularity and unPunctuality.
A stirring song concluded the exercises.
The scholars retired in good order, by
schools, all exceedingly happy and proud
because they were good ones" and proud
of their cards which told them SO. This is
the first experiment of the kind tried in the
public schools, and we have no doubt that
subsequent developments and ultimate re-
suits will stamp it a success.

A NOVEL ACCOMPANIMENT TO Dividend
DAY-on the first instant, as our readers
have been informed by notice in our col
umns for a week past, the Cleveland Insur-
ance Company, which we are pleased to say.
has grown to be one of the most prosperous
of our local business organizations, declared
its first dividend of five per cent, and des-
ignated yesterday for the payment of the
same. Mr.. Sage Coe, the Secretary of the
Company, of course expected a long list of
visitors at his headquarters, in response to
this arrangement, and with a view to their
better entertainment he introduced what, to
our exp~erience,w was certainly q novelty upon
such occasions, to wit: A very choice %collec-
ton of substantial viands, with champagne
| accompaniment, to which stockholders, and
not a few who are not stockholders, did
proper honor. With many Mr.. Coe has
certainly established a reputation as q cap
| ital caterer in addition to his acknowledged
ability az q careful, energetic business man.
He has set IN example worthy Of imitation.
We wish continued and increased success to
the Cleveland Insurance Company.
ERNST PERARo-A RARE MUSICAL TREAT
THIS EvExIxG.-To-night at Brainard's Hall
we are to be favored with a Grand Concert
by Mr.. Ernst Perabo, who has just returned
from his musical studies in Leipzig, where
for the last seven years he has devoted
himself TO the act. We have had the pleas
ure of hearing Mr.. Perabo at Brainard 4
Sons ware-rooms, and assure our readers
that he is we'll deserving of the praise that
has preceded him. He shortly leaves for
the East to make his debut in New York
and Boston. Seats for the concert this
evening can be secured at s. Brainard 4
Sons, and we hope to see q largeand appre-
ciative audience present. The following
is from the correspondence of the Western
Musical World:
ERNST PERADo.
We are anticipating with great pleasure
the arrival of this young artist in these
parts. Having learned 20 know him init
mately in Leipzig, during his course at the
Conservatory, we admired him as a matter
of course for his rare talent and exquisite
PLAYING, while our wonder was continually
excited by his astonishing memory and re-
markably infallible ear. But much as we
admired these gifts, when " e Witnessed
their exercise, they were, in our estimation,
as in that of all who knew him intimately,
the smallest part of his excellence as an
artist. His entire devotion to the true and
the beautiful in an, his reverence for the
great masterworks, entirely exclude from
his performance that self-consciousness
which too often, with other artists, forces
the nearer, who would gladly lose himself
in the cork, 70 a division Of his attention
betweenlthe cork and the performers and lend
an indescribable charm to his playing, and,
indeed, to the whole'man. We shall never
forget the youthful, modest face which greet
ed us when we first arrived, q q stranger in
a strange land" at the Conservatory.
Little should we have conjectured, at first
sight, if his fame had not already reached
us, that his rare powers as an artist placed
him on an elevation where not even the
most ambitious in that large school of art
thought of pretending to equal him.
Nav he find in this and Of his adoption,
where flourish and technical display have
won too much applause, friends who know
how to value true art and a genuine artist
