diplomatic labors rather more important than
there was probability of their being at the time
of his appointment. II France goes to war
with Prussia and Spain, Cuba will be the most
vulnerable point of the latter country, and it is
barely possible that an attack upon the island
may render il necessary for the United States to
take more decided steps than heretofore
for the protection of American citizens
and their property. There is another
important matter which the new Minister will
be called upon to settle. The postal service
between this country and France has long been
in very disjointed and harassing condition, and
the inconvenience suffered by the mercantile
communities of both nations have imperatively
demanded reform. Several unsuccessful at
tempts at the negotiation of q satisfactory postal
convention have recently been made in Paris,
by special representatives of this country, as
it is not the custom for regular
ambassadors to meddle with such trifes as post
Office business. NJ. Prevost-Paradol however,
has been entrusted by the French Government
with full powers to conclude a new postal
treaty. In the negotiation of this treaty the
United States will be represented by the Post
master General and not by the Secretary of
State, and the new Minister'S thorough famiii-
rity with our language will greatly facilitate the
negotiations, speedy and successful issue to
which is desirable on account of the commercial
and social interests of both countries.

OuR CIrY SoHooLs.-We have for some
time been aware OF an increasing interest
and confidence in our public schools on the
part of our citizens We have known ,ha,
Superintendent and teachers were laboring
faithfully, and that they were gratiled with
the results Of their labors. We have observed
that the pupils we're progressing finely in
their studies, and that they seemed
highly pleased with their schools
We have heard words of warm commends
ton in reference to our schools, at home and
from abroad, bat we confess to little sur
prise al what We heard from the Davenport
teachers who favored rs with visit last
week. 1t being vacation week with them, a
large number awaited themselves of the op
portunity to make comparisons. Without
exception, they expressed themselves sur
prlsed and pleased with what they saw and
heard But several of the most prominent
and experienced of them voluntarily
declared that they had seen good schools
! before and that they themselves taught good
schools, but that the Ensst schools they ever
saw, they had that day seen in Rock Island
Considering the high reputation of the Dav.
export teachers and the estimation in which
they have always held their own schools, we
esteem this no empty praise. Il would BE-
interesting to learn in what this excellence of
our schools consists We know teachers and
patrons in various parts of the
country that would pay high price
for the recipe. We have however, no hope
OF ever being sole to give such delineation
of H. that it can be successfully practiced
frou the copy. And we will only say we
TEN, handsomely administered.
This increasing efficiency aud popularity
of our city schools is matter in which, as
citizens, we should take JUS. pride, and By q
wise and liberal policy make every effort to
maintain and support them-not only by
furnishing money for their maintenance, but
by taking an nc.ise interest in the teachers
work and encouraging a large attendance
About the drst question = stranger, seeking
location. asks. is Have you good
schools % With our favorable location, the
best in the west, our beautiful surroundings,
the Island, high bluffs and the river, all con
ducive to health, with our rapidly increasing
manufactures, and growing trade and river
commerce, there is no better place in oil the
west for men of family and men of wealth,
seeking homes or place TO engage in BUSH
ness, than right here in Rock Island. Let
these facts be known. aud while we are
looking to these things, i. should not be
forgotten that, second to none of them, is q
we'll regulated, well managed, practical and
popular syetem of public schools. Such
we have, and such let us see that they con
tinue to be.

ORNAMENTAL SuRRouXDINGs.-Now is
the season for renewing the beauty of our
home surroundings, made uncanny by the
rains and SHOWS of winter. Garden beds are
to be renovated, flowers planted, and home
made consonant with the summer beauty of
all nature. In this connection we would
say that the Argillo Works of Carbon Cliff
are turning out some beautiful garden urns
and vases in antique patterns, flower pots,
statuary, ETC., Of most exquisite style and
durable material The identifying effect of
a judicious arrangement of these vases and
statusry, the former painted green and over
run with the delicate tendriis of dropping
vines, and the latter painted white and up

Triton or Naiad to q pretty garden fountain,
