Baltimore county, and formerly Rector of Christ
Church, assisted Rev. Mr.. Williams, the present

from an acquaintance OF 80 years, paid feeling
tribute to the memory of the departed, in which
he portrayed his many virtues, and dwelt
especially upon his Christian character. The
following gentlemen acted as pail bearers:-W.
w. COrcOran, y. Il. Berry, DIR. j. Is. Blake, jos.

SALE OF WHEAT.-SOme idea of the state OF

that between three and five hundred bushels OF
Ioudon county wheat (from good to prime)
changed hands this morning, at S1.22x. Ad-
vices from Alexandria state that every bushel
OF wheat in store in that city was yesterday
sold for Richmond orders.
DRovERs' REsT.-.rhe market Yesterday was
very dull. Only $50 head of cattle were sold at
SiaSs per 100 lbs. gross. 800 sheep realized 5a7
cents per lb. gross; and veal calves 7asX cents.

THE FAILURE OF AN INEBRIATE ASYLUM
AS already limited, the experiment of an Inc
briate Asylum at Wards Island, New York,
seems likely to result in failure. DIR. Fisher in
Charge of the institution admits the fact He
saws :-"The treatment nor any other thing i'm
existence will cure a man from drinking unless
he has will to do it, and all we can do will
avail but little unless a man is bound to stop.
Those who come to the Asylum are mostly far
gone, and 1t is an impossiblity to eradicate en-
tirely their passion for strong drink. In all of
my experience have known but few who were
permanently cured. By remaining three or six
months here they get their health restored,
but i'm five cases out of ten after leaving thew
gradually get back to their old ways and some
OF them return to us for treatment There
are between eighty and ninety patients i'm the
institution at present, twenty OF whom are
females. The first-class bOarders pay $40 a
week and have q table by themselves The
secend-class pay 50 per week, and eat by them
selves. The third-class pay $3.50 per week. and
dine apart, but otherwise they all have the same
the privileges. The failure is of course to be
attributed to the defects of the system, and not
to any mismanagement on the part of the Off
GERS of the Asylum.

BEAUTIFUL INCIBENT-In one of the schools
there is a young girl who is a cripple. 1t is the
custom Of the teacher to allow her, when the
scholars are dismissed, always to pass out first
attendant upon dismissal Of SO many children
On Monday last, when the alarm OF fire was
sounded, all the school rooms were at once
emptied Of their contents. While in all of them
they rushed out in dsmay and fright, in some
cases leaving everything behind, in the one
where the lame child was there perfect quetness
and order. All the scholars, Notwithstanding the
noise and the apparent danger, remand quietly
in their seats till their lame companion had got
ten safely out, and was secure from the rush
when they with bound cleared the ROOM
neither flight nor selfshness induced them to
provide for themselves until they saw her secure
from peril. Such display of consideration aud
kindness we have no. heard of for MANY day.
and when we remember that it came from chill
dren, it becomes all the more touching and
beautiful.-Easton, Pa, Free Press.

EVANGELICAL ALLIANcE.--Twenty odd years
since an Evangelical Alliance was organized in
Great Britain, and subsequently numerous
branches were formed in many other countries.
The first American branch was organized in the
city Of New York, January 3, 1861, Hon. William
Il. Dodge, President. Christians at the capital
Of the nation, emulous of participating in this
great and holy cause, on the 18th of February,
1853, organized the Metropolitan Branch Of
the Evangelical Alliance of the United States
OF America, in Washington. The first public
meeting OF this association is to be held on
Monday evening, the 18th instant, at the
Metropolitan IN. E.) Church, when addresses
will be delivered by gentlemen eminent in
the Christian Church in explanation of the
principles and aims of the Alliance, and i'm ad-
yocacy Of its noble and godlike undertaking.
The Rev. s. j. Prim, ID. D., who attended the
General Conference at Amsterdam in 1861, in
his graphic report Of its proceedings, says: 'sTo
such an Alliance it is the duty, and ought to be
the joy, Of every good man to give his name, his
hand, with his heart i'm il. It is the beginning
of the end. 1t, bastens the glorious CONSUMING
ton when we shall all be one in Christ Jesus
our blessed and adorable Head" 1t is to be
hoped that this first public meeting of the Metro
politan Branch of the Evangelical Alliance NAV
have an attendance and elicit an interest worthy
the capital of the nation and of one of the no.
blest enterprises OF the Christian era.

MEETING OF TEACHERS or PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
"A meeting OF the teachers OF the public schools
was held this morning at the Miller school
building, on III street, between 9th and 9TH
streets, and there was a full attendance of the
teachers OF the primary and secondary schools.
Mr.. Richards, the Superintendent, introduced
Professor Jerome Allen, author OF "Allens new
system OF Map Drawing" and editor of the Iosc1
Journal Of Education ,whe delivered a very inter-
esting lecture on map drawing, illustrating his
system by diagrams. He was listened to with
much interest, his method showing many new
features In conclusion, he took occasion to
compliment the schools of Washington for their
proficiency, saying that in many respects they
were the model schools Of the country.
MI Richards, on behalf OF the teachers pres
ent, extended thanks to the Professor for his
lecture. He (Mr. r. had been convinced for
some time that this was the best method of map
drawing. and he recommended all the teachers
70 practice 1t themselves and become proficient
m the system He SAID he hoped soon to see the
schools of Washington the model schools i'm All
respects. Congress had shown disposition to
make them so, this being the point of visitation
from air sections Of the country.
Mr.. Richards then introduced the subject he
had intended to treat of: 'sThe mode of teaching
IN the primary schools" and dwelt at consider
able length on the qualities necessary i'm a
teacher Of primary school. LIST. Kindness; 2d.
gentleness; Sd. patience; 4th. consistency; 5th
perseverance. He said judgment and discretion
should be exercised according to the character
OF the pupil In administering all rules OF gov
study the character of individuals and apply our
rules accordingly. He then illustrated with
words written upon the blackboard some i'm
pcrtant suggestions to the teachers and the
mode 10 be adopted in teaching youth; among
other things, that twenty minutes time was
enough to engage the attention OF the pupil
nIon given subject, after which some other
exercises should be introduced, such as Singing
aNtrse or gymnastic exercises. After the con-
adjourned.

JOINT MEETING OF SCHOOL AUTHORITIES.
The Public Schools Of the District Cites and The
County, and the Cotored Schools Represented-A
ComBsittee 10 ask Aid Of Congress-Coasot.dItion
Of tae Schools Discussed
A joint meeting Of the school authorities of
the District of Columbia was held last night at
the rooms of the Board of Trustees of the Pub
lie Schools of Washington, for conference i'm
relation to asking aid from Congress There
were present z. Richards, Superintendent Of
the Public Schools Of Washington, and Messrs.
Newton and Mcclellan, Of the Washington
Board of Trustees of Public Schools; Messrs.
Hyde, Dunlop, and Libbey, of the Georgetown
School Board Messrs Syphax and Jones, of the
Gardener, OF the Levy Court, and Mr.. johnson,
School Commissioner of the county,
Mr.. A Hyde was called upon to preside and
MI A T. Newton was chosen Secretary.
The Chairman called upon Mr.. Newton to
state the specific objects of the meeting which
he did The schools in this District required
assistance from Congress to carry them on, and
while that body had given grants of lands to all
OF the States and most Of the Territories he
could see no reason why they should withhold
aid from this District. He suggested that a
committee be appointed to prepare statement
OF the disabilities which We are laboring under,
to be submitted to Congress. He closed by in
viting an expression OF opinion Of those present
on these matters.
|. DIR. j. A. Rowland asked whether a change of
the school system would be asked of Congress,
or Pecuniary aid merely; saying that unless i'm
mediate aid was granted the county schools
must close, and that, so far as the county was
concerned, they were doing as well as they
could do with their means. III grant of land
vas not made, then direct appropriation was,
he thought, clearly due them.
Superintendent Richards said that this matter
had been before Congress before, and all will
remember that encouragement had been given
them, but that body asked for statistical in
formation with reference to the schools of this
District. This information had been collected
covering all the facts in connection with the
subject, more than two years ago, but had never
been placed before Congress, as should have
been done. We should not blame Congress for
not acting in this matter, when it had not been
presented with the information asked for
Mr.. Richards then read from his report al
luded to, addressed to Hon. s. NJ. Arnell, chair
man of the Committee on Education and Labor
in the House of Representatives, in reply to a
letter from that committee asking information
concerning the public schools of the District
In answer to the question of how many children
there are in the District entitled to seats and
education in the public schools of the District.
Mr. X. says that in 1861, when the census was
taken, the whole number of children between
the ages OF and Is years was:
