apparently 80 much more fortunate in all
the gifts of fortune and friends. The
eleves of this house have all received
an excellent English education-better,
it has been remarked, than that acquir-
BILE boarding schools. Then they are inde-
pendent in the consciousness of possessing
practical knowledge, and of being able to
make themselves useful. They have been
taught sewing, embroidery, dress making,
millinery, the manufacture of artificial flow
ers, fine washing, and various arts so much
in use and so well paid.
Though many of the conventional forms
of society may be unknown to girls thus
trained, the natural grace of high intelli-
gence and firm principle imparts a refine
ment not always found where there are
more accomplishments. So that, judged by
its fruit, this undertaking has been crown
ed with the highest success. Its usual num-
Der of pupils is one hundred and sixty, who
are educated and fitted to go forth into the
world, young ladies in all essential respects,
though in many instances, originally the
children of abject misery and want.
THE SUPPORT.
Whence comes all the means necessary to
these manifold expenditures Sister Regis
commenced her operations, as we have said :,
with less than five dollars in money. Never,
at any time since, probably, have the princi
pal house or it's dependencies been worth
SO much even as that, Independently of
their debts. The great question has always
been, whence will the means come to sup
port what is already accomplished, and, if
we commence something more, how shall
we get enough to finish itf
Before such questions worldly prudence
would have retired from the struggle as
hopeless one. The sweet charity of Sister
Regis saw only the sorrow and ruin around
her, and waited not to count the chances of
success. She had, too, faith which could
look beyond the poverty that was visible to
wealth which could not be seen. The
most inexhaustible treasury is one which has
no assets that men can perceive, but the
drafts on which, if drawn by faith, are
never dishonored. We can see clearly, in
the works of Sister Regis, as in the whole
career of st. Vincent de Paul himself, that
no one need hesitate, on account of want of
means, to inaugurate any good work of
which there is evident need.

The School Squabble.

We are no friend of the common school
system. We are its unrelenting opponent
to every extremity and under every cir
cumstance. What side, therefore, shall we
take in the little family feud that has broken
out very recently in the common school
camp7
Gov. Warmoth, who represents the true
blue school, is rather disdainful of our ma
tive tinkerers at this Yankee notion. They
have introduced q little of the Southern
leaven into this genuine invention of Puri-
tanism, and true blue Yankeedom boils over
at their provincial incompetency to do any
thing in the right way. The Governor
cheerfully remarks that the common schools
of New Orleans and Jefferson parish are
incomparably better than elsewhere in the
State, but even they are of precious little
account.
The Common School Board of Directors
of New Orleans retorts upon the Governor
that he lacks familiarity with the English
language, and is, moreover, trifie careless
in sticking to the truth.
The Governor says that incompetent
teachers are sometimes employed through
political influences.
Directors reply that such a remark does
well enough in all respects, except that it
isn't true.
Is the charge true or fa}se7
We leave the answer of this question en-
tirely to the parties interested. We can
only say that such conduct as that de-
nounced by the Governor would be per-
fectly natural. We do not remember to
have heard this charge made before, though
we have heard much more serious ones,
and it may be that New-Orleans has been
so peculiarly blessed with public spirited
school directors as to have enjoyed an
action on their part free from any faint of
personal or private motive.
We say it may be SO, but it is not so else
where, and would be anywhere remark
able instance of exemption from the frail-
ties inherent in the system.
In New York, for instance, how does it
work We quote from a correspondent of
the Boston Post in relation to the public
schools of New York city, himself evidently
warm admirer of the system generally:
Much has been said in praise of the system of
education in the public schools, and most of it
has been deserved; but there is room for inn
provement For instance, the revised histories
of the United States not exactly uneXcep-
tionable. The portions relating to the late war
are partisan as though they had been written
by Wendell Phillips. Abraham Lincoln is al
most deitied, and the leaders on the other side

TeiegraphIc Summary.

NEW York, July 26.-The Hera1d's
Madrid SPECIAL says the last Carlist out
break, SO long expected, has occurred.
Five hundred well drilled troops, under
Sabariegos, have taken the field near
Conrad.
A battle took place in the morning, in
which it is reported the Carlist party lost
one hundred killed and wounded. Only
three Government officers were killed.
Near the town of Manzaneres a strong
party of Carlists made some demonstra.
Iion. They subsequently succeeded in
intercepting railroad trains and cutting
telegraph wires.
The latest accounts state that 1000
Carlists arrived in the Province of La
Mancha. Government troops have been
dispatched to the scene of action.
The agitation is general throughout
the whole country. The people are very
much excited over the late news.
No further hostilities have vet been
reported, although it is feared a general
uprising may be expected all over Spain
now that Don Carlos has crossed the
frontier and opened communication with
his numerous partisans

y BIRD SroRY.-Ihe Russian River
Flag relates the following remarkable
bird story:
We are informed by Mr. John Multi
gan-and he viii vouch for the accuracy
OF. the story-that about a month ago, a
small bird, Hnet, took possession of a
large. toy Windmill which whirls as an
ornament on the top of his tin shop. The
mill IS made nearly in the shape of an
egg, Is about two feet high, and is placed
vertically. " hile it was still, the bird
entered between the wings or fans. and
commenced operations on a nest laid
eggs and finally hatched them on the
whirl. Those acquainted with this part
OF the State know that the wind is almost
constantly blowing, except early in the
morning, SO that our windmill was not
often at rest. Now that her four birds
were Matched, how could she get them
out! She soon solved the question. Out
she few. and quickly returned with a
long string. Watching her chance, in
she went with one end Of the string. and
the other naturally became entangled
around the shaft, and soon the machinery
came to dead lock- Rejoicing at her
success, she triumphantly departed taking
along her brood.
Wasn't there little salt on the end of
that string
