The Secretary Of the Treasury has transmitted
to tue House OF Representatives copies OF the vari
papers relating the leasing Of the Alaska seal
fishery, fom which It appears that In July last the
Secretary advertised for sealed proposals for the OK

count, the Company was allowed to put in a now

A great many hard thugs are said about

A great many hard things are said about
the managers Of the Erie Railway Company, but
ip the present coal war they shine like angels in
comparison with the respectable gentlemen who
have conlcssedly conspred to fleece the poor by
eItortionatc rates Of freight over their railroads
from the coal mines to this city. The Eric people
have kept entirely aloof ffom the conspiracy, and,
instead of joining the effort to crowd prices up
to t2o per ton, are offering good coal at 6.

1t is estimated that arms to the value of
$9o 600 900 have been collected in this city since
the European war began and sold for shipment
abroad. Arms ammunition, and military stores
to the value Of tl,5ls,Ooo. which It is supposed
were purchased for sale abroad, have been
shipped within short time from the arsenal at
West Troy. Among these shipments were lOO,-
600 ride muskcts, 900 reyobors, and IS complete
batteries, It appears that arms may be sent to
any body except the struggling Cuban patriots

A new Boston notion is the introduction
in the public schools nf what is csllcd the half
tardy rule. The regulations adopted by the
School Committee require that the pupils shall
te in their seats punetuslly at the hour for COM
mencing school but the teachers have added q
provision that they must be there five minutes
before the time, il order TO be- that they are
there ut the time. The .iIc0tsar strongly op-
poses the innovation, urging, among other Objec.
tons, that it ia calculated 10 foster in children
the pcrncious habit Of punctuality aud in
ising that punctuaLty. which rs an essential
virtue in busy communities, rising from the
range of the MINOR merit, TO that Of the higher
virtues, s forfeited as badly by too early attend
Anco as it is by the man who is too late ior an ap-
poiutment. Taking into consideration tue COZ.
stiiutioual tendency Of Bostonians TO "go slow,
Il does not probable .lat the most rigid On
iorcement Of the Objectionable rule is likely to
result IN such q universal habit Of oycr-punctu-
aGty n kecp,ng appointments as To occasion any
serious arrangement Of bu.iuess, at lcas, during
the time of the present generation.
