1t is built Of solid stone, with one
span. 1t is assembled by steps. 1t
has three compartments. Stores arc
built upon each side and the great
rush from morning till night is, over
this celebrated structure. It leads to
the Rialto, where the great business
Of Venice is still done as in the older
time. A noiser set of tradesmen the
world has not produced. The men
have splendid voices, and they bawl
out their varies, on and around the
bridge, with terrific .vehemence.
There are tenors and barritones here,
begging living, who make their for
tunes in America.
VENICE AT NIGHT.
The Grand Canal is dark at night.
The stores open on the street and not
on the canal. The few palaces that
are occupied do not have their sitting
rooms looking upon the water. The
gondolas, that glide like spectres up
and down, have no lights. Occasion
ally there is fete on the canal. A
huge barge is filed with singers; wo-
men. as we'll as men, play on the vio-
lin and double bass. The barge is
lighted with Chinese lanterns, and is
followed by from ten to thirty Condo
las and thousand Of people on tho
sides of the canal follow the process
sion and people on the bridges, and
all join in tho applause that attends
tho singing. The canal is silent and
dreary at night, but the lanes and
passages are lively enough. The lit
tie cafes and drinking reoms, gilded,
and bedizzened like a newly painted
circus, arc crowded. Revellers fill tho
street that are never still. Bands of
men and women sing and shout under
the window, and never seem disposed
to 60 bed. Strolling minstrcls excr-
else repose. Acrobats turn somer-
saalts with shouting and the hoarse
bawling of the ,gondoliers does not
cease till morning.

tinctions may be made in after life.
Afttr leaving tho common schools the
German youth can enter upon tho du-
tics OF active life or they may enter
the trade school, whero they remain
three years, and prepare for tho va
rious trades they may choose to fol-
low. Then he can follow his trade, or
he can enter tho industrial school, and
in two years graduate an architect,
an engineer, aechcmist, &C.; or if he
wishes, he can pass from the indus
trial school to the polytechnic school,
and prepare to take a high position in
the mechanic arts. The student may
leave the common school also and en-
ter the gymnasium, whero Latin,
Greek, mathematics, rhetoric, history
and chemistry are taught. From the
gymnasium the student can take up
the study of profession, or he can
60 thence to the university, where he
can fit himself to take upon himself
the highest position in the profession
he chooses, and where he can know
all the subjects of his study as
sciences.
In the gymnasia the students are
required to study and rccite thirty
two hours pcr week, and before
graduating to pass over o course of
study which requires nine years to
complete. The German teachers, ne a
class, arc better prepared for their
work than the teachers of any other
country. They arc encouraged to fit
themselves for q high excellence in
their procession by tho preference
which is always given to teachers
who have professional training, and
by the honor which is everywhere
accorded to teaching as a profession.
In Germany the boys arc always edu-
Gated apart from the girls, and male
teacher is always placed over class
of boys, and usually female teacher
over q class of girls. In tho graded
schools Of the cities the teacher con-
tinues over the same class from the
time it enters the school until it's
graduation. This plan requires every
teacher to bo qualified to teach oil
tho topics found in tho whole course
Of study. Teachers of one State are
encouraged by the government to
visit the schools of other States, SO
that any improvement made in the
SCHOOLS in one section may be rapidly
introduced into the other soctions
Teachers are also encouraged to hold
conventions for mutual Improvement

The Negro Military Occupation of Edge.
Z field.
THE Ed1efiald Adnsrfiae.. aa.,a.

The Edgefeld Advertiser says:
The leading facts of the late extra
ordinary occupation of Edgefeld by
negro soldiers and the State consta-
bles, have already been given in the
Adot'ttser. This occupation is still
kept up, without a shadow of law,
right, or necessity, and in defiance Of
legal authority in all it's possible forms.
Twenty strapping negroes, with hot
and newborn zeal, guard our jail day
and night, while eight or ten white
constabIes are on tho wait and watch,
with eternal vigilenoe. Of the latter,
four have arrived within the last
week. We hear also of two negro
detectives, who, ever and anon, fit to
and fro in owl-like mystery. The nc
gro fellows who. guard the jail are
drawn from this immediate vicinity,
and are filled, we hear, with a horri-
bic desire for the fray. We should
not say "guarding the JAIL" however,
for there is 40 one i'll the Jail requir-
ing guard. They are guarding the
arms and ammunition lately lodged in
the Jail, and are kept in readiness to
sally forth upon any vain pretext and
murder decent white people, whose
only crime is unbeliefin Messrs. Scott
and Eichelberger. The Jail yard pre-
seuts now quite an animated scene,
with its fierce and fcarfully armed
black heroes, hurrying constantly to
and fro; while along the iron fence in
front are ever ranged whole. ranks of
lazy negroea, contemplating, in &C.
static idieuess, the sublime glory Of
their military brethren. Military en-.
thusiasm is at fever heat among them;
they gloat upon the exulting scene in
the Jail yard, and pant with ambition
that cannot be meausred to serve their
country with sword and musket.
The glitteripg bayonet, the pomp and
circumstance Of trapping the warm.
rec, blood Of Democrats, the seductive,
life giving government greenbacks, all
these things fill their ever excited
brains, and render them willing and
ready for any and all excesses.-
Should further troops be called just
now, we hare not tho slightest doubt
that thousands could be- enlisted in ono
day.

MARION's PORTRAIT.

MAR1ON'S PORTRAIT.
In the evening, weighed down
with remorse and anguish of heart,
I went to Mr.. Claytons to see Bella.
Her eyes were red and swollen with
weeping. She upbraided me Bit
terly with my GOODNESS and grow
ing disafection, and in food of
tears, implored me to say what was
drawing me away from her. BY
way of plausible excuse for daily
absenting mpaelf with her society,
1 explained a great deal of my time
had been occupied in painting
sketches of Black Briar Copse.
Nothing would satisfy Bella short
Of my promise to t Ike her on the
morrow on the wood, to point out
the scenes and to compare them
with my sketches. T dreaded the
eSpedition-for had I not promised
to meet the the enchantress there?
but could not refuse, for Bella's
peace.
1t was agreed we should go thith-
or in the morning, and as the next
day was to be my last at Aldfold,
Nh. and Mrs. Clayton were to go
with us. Later in the evening an
old gentleman of The neighborhood
a Mr.. Murphin, a friend of Mr..
Clayton's dropped in to chat about
the prospects Of the coming crops,
and. hearing of our proposed expe-
dition, said heshould like to accom-
pany us.
Accordingly in the morning we
allset out, Bella and with the
portfolio leading the way, and her
uncle and aunt following with Mr..
Murphin. On reaching the copse,
1 submitted the sketches to their
notice and showed the points Of
view from which they were taken,
all except one, which was q little
bit of tree scenery down the path
where I had met the snchantress.
Wishing to avoid that spot, I pre-
tended to have forgotten where
abouts l had taken it. Mr.. Muir
phiu, however, TO my great ankle
~, recognized the spot at. once,
and insisted on Leading the way
thither. 1t wss useless to remon-
strance, so ! followed the. rest, ner-
vously dreading to meet her there
To my intense relief, we reached
the place and found my fears disap-
pointed. Ihad been SO aceustom-
ed to see the enchantress by the
bawthorn-bush little farther down
the path, that I had feared she
would be there even now. But ]
looked and saw the bush, and
there was'ho one near 1t. She had
not kept her appointment, Ny

TRAGEDY IN EDGEFIELD.
TWO MEN AMBUSCADED.
One Of Them Killsd-Th Other Sc
riously Wounded.

oH JesterooJ eFeHuS We were IN
formed, by a gentleman just from
Edgefsld Court House, that the Cross
we'll difficulty had eliminated in q
fearful tragedy. As our readers are
all aware of the nature of the affair
out of which the difficulty between
the Addison family ond Mr.. D. Cress-
we'll arose we will not allude to
in this connection; but merely give
the history Of the recent tragedy as
given to US by our informant. On
last Wednesday afternoon Mr.. d.
Cresswell and an older brother, Mr..
Charles Cresswell, left this city in a
buggy to return to their homes, near
Ninety.six, South Carolina. Late on
the evening Of that day tho two
brothers reached Edgefield Court
House and stopped for tho night at
the village tavern. On yesterday
morning, between eight and nine
o'clock, the Cresswells sgain started
on their journey, taking with them a
sixteen shooting Winchester rife as if
anticipating trouble. They had not
been gone long when some one came
into: the town and said the two mon
had been murdered. A party imme-
diately went out to ascertain if the
rumor was correct A mile and, q
half from Edgegeld, on tho road to
Ninety.Six, the bodies Of the Cress-
wells were found. The older,
Charles Cressweli,; was perfectly dead
tho body being Utmost riddled with
buckshot. D. Cresswell was serious

CAPE Ma Y.

AN amusing illustration of New York buster
is given by the letter of correspondent of
the New York Herald, writing from the fa-
vorite Philadelphia watering-place, Cape May.
After our citizens have bathed on its deli
cious beach for years, after they have labored
energetically to establish a railway connec-
ton, and made large subscriptions to the
stock of the splendid new hotel, the Stockton
House, the Herald correspondent, amazed at
the magnitude of the preparations
for splendid season, and at
the manifold evidences of Philadelphia
enterprise and energy, coolly claims for
Gotham the credit of all that has been done,
and vouchsafes the wonderful information
that New York enterprise has taken charge of
the future of Cape May He even intimates
that our citizens will be crowded out of its
attractive dominions. With characteristic
forgetfulness or characteristic disregard for
the truth, he ignores the fact that Philadel-
phians, mainly, have made Cape May what it
is, and that they love it too well to abandon
it even on account of the occasional incursion
of New Workers as bombastic and ridiculous
as himself. Our citizens will be glad to
mingle at Cape May with any citizens of Man
haitian who have not entirely lost all their
senses by overweening vanity and conceit;
and although the Gunnybags family and the
aristocracy founded on railroad frauds and
faro banks may be kept at respectful dis
tance, even their presence will not prevent
many thousands of Philadelphians from
making the present season more prosperous
than any of its predecessors.

F4LRMOUNT PARK EXTEN8TON

AN important new portion of Fairmount Park
was opened yesterday, and henceforth the
public will have an opportunity of enjoying
new series of fine drives and magnificent
views. The Park Commission is doing it's
work rapidly, skilfully, substantially, artisti-
cally, and at the same time economically.
Those who participated in the excursion yes
terday were at once delighted and surprised
at the amount of work which has been done
the present season, and at the fine effects
produced. Passing over the Girard avenue
bridge to the west bank of the SchuylkiI, a
fine road about four miles long has been
constructed to the summit of Georges Hill,
so arranged as to display to the best advan-
tage a succession of beautiful landscapes
Fine roads on either side of the river, one
hundred feet wide, are also about to be con-

structed, which will be connected by bride
paths with the central road.
striking feature Of the general plan is
that while on all these rides and drives the
horizon will be bounded in every direction By
some portion of the park possessions, from
the summit of Georges Hill splendid view
of the whole city, with the waters of the
Delaware cleaning in the distance, can be
gained
Henceforth the available portions Of the
park will no longer be confined TO the eastern
bank of the Schuylkill The new extension
will at once become a favorte resort for tens
Of thousands, and as the improvements now
in progress are perfected, attraction after
attraction and charm after charm will be
added to the scene, until Philadelphia obtains
the finest park in existence, and the most
superb scenic combination of art and nature
in the world.
II was fitting that this formal opening of a
great popular resort should be accompanied
by graceful tribute to the donor of the valu-
able estate which constitutes its browning
glory, and Eli X. Price was appropriately
selected to present to Jesse George a superbly
bound volume containing the official record of
his generous donation. The Philadelphia of the
present, as well as the Philadelphia of the
future, will re-echo the blessings uttered by
MIR. Price, and hope, with Mr.. George, that
the good work of completing the park may be
hastened forward, and that it may be forever
used to promote the health and enjoyment of
the whole population of this great city.
