THE ScHooLMAsTER ABRoAD.-Mr Edito,

THE ScHooLMAsTER ABRoAD.-Mr. Editor:
1t seems curious that the sharp eyes of Gail
Hamilton should have overlooked the error in
her "Battle Of the Books page "a, where Mr..
Dane writes as follows: "The wholesale price
is forty per cent. off the retail, d G. book that
retals at $1.4O is wholesaled at $1.OO.' This
were a trifing error, did not the laundering
instructor go on Immediately to say, II never
imagine that woman comprehends what per
cent. meansw Ignorant woman, sapient crit
ic! Schoolmaster Dane, try again and see
how much 81 40 minus 40 per cent, is. Then
question if you choose woman's ability to COM
prehend. PER CENT.

The London Times treats in very long ed

on navigation interests and the Presidents
message in relation thereto. 1t takes the nat
ural English view, which is that of Senator
Chandler, referred to elsewhere in the letter
of our Washington correspondent. 1t would
have free trade in ships, SO that our vessels
might be built in English shipyards instead of
in oar own. Mr.. Lynchs committee has done
well to reject and emphatically condemn
policy which would be so ruinous to American
and especially to Maine shipbuilding interests

The citizens of West Virginia who favor
the repeal of all proscriptive laws now In
force in this State and the enactment OF
such measures as will give the State charac-
ter abroad and harmony and prosperity al
home, are requested 10 meet in their reSpec-
tive counties or townships, at ~ early day

tO Il State Convention to be held in the
town of Charleston, Kanawha county, on
Wednesday. The Eighth day OF June.

Estate, Attorney General and Judge of the
supreme Court of Appeals.
Each county or delegate district will cast
ten votes in this Convention for every rep

which such county or district IBay be ell
titled.
The effect OF our pro>crlptiVc system in
driving large numbers of useful citizens
from West Virginia, and in preventing i'm
migration from other States, renders the
speedy abolition of that system necessary
10 the public good. This call is therefore
addressed to all liberal-mindcd men, wheth-

who desire TO promote the welfare of the
State and vindicate the rights of her citizens
