difference of opinion has arisen be-
tween the School Directors and the
Teachers in that Township, in regard
to the Institute business-the Teach

Institute week, and the Board refus-
ing to allow it-and he requests us to
say what we think about it.
Now, not being lawyer or the son
Of q lawyer, we have no advantage fol
an opinion on the subject more than
anybody else has; but this point seems
plain enough-that If the Teachers,
when they made the contracts fol-
their Schools, did not agree to any
special stipulations about institute
week; and If their School terms con-
tinued beyond that week; and if they
duly attended the Institute, as ordered
by the Superintendent, then they can
claim and recover pay for services fol-
that week the same as for the rest OF
their terms; but If they did agree to
any special stipulations otherwise,
then of course the stipulations govern

APeopIe ON Suits.

From Chambers Journal.l
The pictures Of Rosa Bonheur have
made us well acquainted with the singu-
lar habits which the shepherds Of the
lands south Of bordeaux have adopted OF
passingrhe greater part Of their lives on
stills. The first time that a group OF
these people are seen, there is a curious
emotion in the mind as Of a strange
prodigy. Dressed in sheepskins, worn
BY time. knitting stockings or spinning
thread, they gravely pass over the reeds
and furze, the spectator buried, as IL
were. in the bushes, they lifted nearer
the sky on the verge Of the horizon. The
long stick, which they handle with so
much address, serving as balancing pole
or a support for the arm, contributes
still more to the strangeness Of their APP
pearance they look like gigantic crick-
cts, preparing TO spring. In the lands Of
MedOc, not only the shepherds,
but every one uses this style Of
locomotion; the children have no fear,
and the women, who are invariably
dressed in black, resemble large ravens
perched on dead branches. The origin
Of stills Is unknown, but il is probable
that they we're not in use before the Mid
ale Ages. as ancient authors make no
mention Of them. In the patois Of the
country they ere called clanque, which
would seem to tx their origin in the
period Of the rule Of the English, deIiv-
ink il from our word shank; probably

The Emperor on his Defeat.

A letter from Brussels in the Cologne
Gazette says
The Emperor Napoleon, as ! hear,
spoke very unfavorably during his resi-
dence in Belgium, Of the conduct of his
generals. To diplomatist who visited
him at Namur he complained bitterly OF
the want of respect shown to him by
them, and of their ineompetency. To
the French soldiery, as far as bravery is
concerned, he rendered justice; but they
are too little disciplined, and quite unfit
TO resist the Prussians. l yield full
homage he said, to the discipline and
bravery of the Prussian troops. Their
discipline is constantly equal, and is only
surpassed by their courage. Nothing
can resist them, and they will enter
Paris, which cannot defend itself against
them" The Emperor did not express
the least regret for what be had done.
On the way from Bouillon to Verviers,
indeed, he sighed good DEAL but to all
with whom he spoke he showed himself
extremely composed. On the whole, he
made the impression Of man who is
glad to have escaped great danger. Ii
is certain that he was at the battle before
Sedan on the LIST. 1t even seems that
at the last moment he wished tc collect
a troop in order to dash on the Baya-
rians, who stood opposite him; but il
was impossible to carry out this plan, as
the German artillery was too violent.
In the army itself the Emperor latterly
was generally despised. After the battle
of Sedan the French would not hear him
spoken Of; the officers we're particularly
embittered against him, and did not even
wish to hear what had become Of him.
Some establishment was excited here at
the French officers captured at Sedan
being allowed their liberty on con-
dition Of not serving again in this
war against Prussia. 1t is thought
not impossible that after their return to
France part Of them, in spite of their
promise, VIII be induced again to take up
the sword. A few French officers ex-
pressed themselves, moreover, in this
sense and thought they would only need
TO change their names in order to elude
discovery As an excuse for such pro-
cednre, they pleaded the King conduct,
who said he was only making war against
the Emperor and not against the French
people, and yet continued it, although
the Emperor is put aside. The Weser
Zeitung states that only fourth Of the
captured officers have taken the engage
ment. the remainder prefering captivity.
Gen. Wimpffen has chosen Stuttgart as
his residence, and has already passed
through Mayence.
