Queen. Victoria.

Some very singular stories are told
about Queen Victoria, and it is hardly
surprising that the sober and rather
stupid English people should regard her
as insane. She has, it appears, firm
conviction that Prince Albert is never
a way from her, and that she can hold
communion with him. A chair is placed
for him opposit hers in the library; his
favorite books are on the table, and it is
an ordinary practice with her to address
him aloud as if he were really present.
At dinner a knife aud FORK are laid for
him, and the servant are directed to
even 90 through the formality of help
ing him. Every morning pair of boots
are cleaned and set down before the door
of the chamber he occupied, aud at break
fast she not unfrequer y waits a
considerable time for his immaginary
coming.

Report OF the Superintendenl
OF Public INSTRUCTION.

Report OF the superintendent
OF Public INSTRUCTION.
We have receiveda copy Of the report
of the Superintendent Of Public Instruc
ton for the school year ending June 3,
1871.
The pupil children of the State-that
is, those between the ages of six and
twenty years-are reported to number
389,836. The auditor estimated the net
school revenue for the year ending June
80, 1871, from the school tax, school
fund and all sources at S776, 239 SO. and
for the fiscal year 1872 at s968, JIG so.
The pupil children for 1872 are esti-
mated at 405,719. The increase in their
number in 1869 over 1868 was 1865,
aud estimated increase of 1872 over
1871, 1883. The pro rata for each
child in the past year was s., and for the
next it is estimated at So 30.
There we're 5,177 school districts in
the State last year against 4 Az in 1869,
and 5,068 schools taught against 4, Az
in 1869. The highest number Of chill
dren at school last year was 1887
against 169, 577 in 1869, and the average
of 1870 was 100 ,866 against an average
of 112, 620 in 1869.
The commissioner is severe upon the
defects of the new law, and well states
that the derangement and confusion /
caused by continual amendments will be
worse than any trouble necessary to the
Inauguration of the more complete sys-
tenn for which the present was substi
tuted.
Thsgreat rate bill feature, which was
so extensively commented on during the I
late canvass for Governor, is thoroughly
ventilated aud roundly denounced by
the superintendent.
The superintendent thinks the pres
ent al coloreD, school tax sufficient but
suggests the addition Of poll tax of one
or two dollars. and the passage of a gen.
eral law allowing cities, towns or school
districts the right to vote additional taxes
on themselves for school purposes, Of
not more than three mills on the dol
lar.
Good suggestions are made as to the
disposition of the troublesome SURPRISES
credited to counties, and as to the best
way to secure additional aud better
school accommodations.
One Of the most important and valua-
bic recommendations Of the report is that
the diminution of the num-
