e. y distinguished New York teacher
takes strong ground against the prema-
ture development of the memorizing fac
ulty, affirming the belief, that '.mental
arithmetics'' kill off more children, than
any OF the diseases of childhood. This
forcing OF children at the public schools
is an unpardonabIe sin.

patient engineering and surveying, the
railroad company found that route utter
Iy impracticable-the located survey be-
ing far better grade, and four miles and
a quarter less in distance. After all, the
new railroad will run more than a dozen
miles in Danville, and it will be a great
thing for that town, as well as for all the
others along the line and we are sure
the people generally in the town want it,
and. like Mr.. Brainerd, would not be rid
OF helping to build it if they could.

The CHINESE QUESTION.-lt becomes
more and more evident that the ground
taken by Mr.. Douglass in his lecture on
our composite Nationality is the only
true ground to be adopted by this nation
toward the Chinese, or in fact any other
nation. We cannot deny shelter and
home to any being whom God has made,
and who shall choose this land as bis
adopted abode. 1t is well known that
California has made oppressive laws
looking toward the prevention OF Chi
nese emigration and only short time
ago large mass meeting was held IN
| San Francisco to take measures II posi-
bic to expel those unfortunate Cinnamon
who have already come to our own
shores. But as an offset to this barbar-
Gus proposition, We ara glad to record
that Gov. Haight of California, in his
annual message to the Legislature, ia
vors the removal Of all barriers TO
Chinese immigration as an act both OF
justice and policy. Unless this policy Is
adopted it is mockery to receive and ap-
plaud such passages as this which oc-
CURED in Father IIyacinthe's lecture in
New York last week: "You invite from
walled China the unmovins people to
dwell amid the moving nation, the sta
tionary to mingle with the progressive,
all impclled by the breath of you, the
great humanitarian people"

THEATRE" SCARF" AGAIN.
This thrilling drama, which created
such an excitement in this city on the
evenings of last Friday and Saturday at
Opera Hall, will, by request of a great
many, be reproduced for the last time
in this city tonight. Those who failed
should be on hand to-
night, for it will be the last time the
will be given, as this play
and scene are the property of the
Sisters, and is produced
by them ouly. Miss Sallie will sus-
tain her original character of
"May Hamilton" and Miss Kate
will appear in her original part of "lke
Partington," introducing some new
Songs, dances, and her unapproachable
banjo. Kate is indeed sweet little
girl, a true artistic. She has host of
friends and admirers here, who will ap-
plaud to the echo her "Ike" tonight.
Upon the banjo, Lolita, the great, must
take back seat when bonnie Kate ap-
pears upon the scene. Let the Sisters
both have substantial recognition, for
they surely deserve better houses than
they have been getting heretofore. An
farce, with the comic Seton
in his best vein, will be given as the
closing piece.

THE CASE OF JOSEPH Grdre
Charges Exciting Trial.-For some time
past there has been much dissatisfac-
ton and talk about the manner in which
Joseph Terrell, Superintendent of that
portion of the National Road which lies
between Wheeling and the Pennsylva,
MIA line, has performed the duties of his
office. Some time ago the complain
ants fled with the Board of Public
Weeks list of charges and specifca-
tions, alleging that under FerrelPs man
agement the State has lost money by
the measurement of stone broken for
the Road; that he Was in partnership
with the contractors for furnishing
stone and shaved the profits, which were
heavy; that he permitted oxen owned
by the State to be neglected, while he
charged the State enough money to keep
half the stock on his place; that the
National Road was in bad condition il
many places, and that the Necessary
effort was not put forth to keep it IL
proper repair-&c., &c.
Yesterday the Board of Public Works
met at the Capitol Building to hear the
case. The defendant appeared, with
Messrs. Z. G. Cracraft and William z
Hubbard as attorneys. The complain
ants, DR.. J. II. Storer and Others, b!
Gov. Benz. Stanton. Some half dozer
witnesses for the compliments were
examined yesterday, and the case was
adjourned over until this morning
The evidence adduced set forth thai
Terrell had tempered with parties who
had expected to bid for contracts fol
furnishing stone for the Road, had in
duced them not to bid; that exorbitant
prices were paid for said stone; thai
the oxen owned by the State and II
charge of Terrell were in bad condition
and not worth half the amount they
would have been if proper care hat
been exercised.
A large number of witnesses hav
been summoned on both sides, ant
some days will be consumed in r
hearing of the cause. Much interes
appears to be manifested in the matter
and we shall expect to see thorougl
lVeatlation of the whole affair.
