mill than you can at feed stores. To illustrate
take bran: they charge 81 .25 per hundred for it,
they weigh the bran, and you get no moro than
100 weight. At the mill they sell at 500 per
100 pounds, and call 21ls bags 100; but they
will weigh, on an average, 100 pounds, making q
difference in favor Of the mill Of about As sts ps.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.-We have not been
furni'hed this week with the official proceedings
of Monday evenings meeting Of the Board of
Education, but learn tfat Mr.. Courtney, on be.
half Of the Finance Committee, again begged for
further time to report on the big petition pre-.
sented to the Board q month ago demonstrating
against reducing the salary OF the principal Of
the High School. Mr.. Courtney explained that
under his instructions it would be necessary to
see every siguer of the petition and ascertain
whether ne knew what he was about, and that
Of course involved time. Wesuggest that it may
also involve some personal courage on the part of
Mr.. Courtney, il hs concludes to wait with such
question on the signers Of that petition, and as
Mr.. Courtney may not be largely gifted that
way. We despair Of ever seeing the. report Of that
committee.
We are also advised that petition was pre-.
sented to the Board praying that the study Of
Greek and Latin be excluded from the High
School. 1t was noted singular that the petition.
ers did not also include "Fornix" in the studies
to be excluded. The petition shows, however,
that the "grOundlings" have mustered courage
aud gone to work outside OF the Board
Tho petition which the same indefatigabls
workers have been circulating, to abolish the
High School altogether, and limit tho studies in
the public schools to rsadia'. writin' and 'rthme-

persons that were able or write their own name,
1tis also suggested, that the on of the
petition is delayed until Mr.. Ceilings has more
fully developed his plan for a University in

II LET-EE or CH.7REES y.
From the Now York Tribune
The court circles in Madrid have
recently been indulging in a ghostly
sort of picnic The Minister of State
invited the diplomatic body to accom-
pany him to the Escurial. The court
journals gave decorous account of the
expedition, showing how "they arrived
at the royal seat in vernal tcmpera-
ture, and at once directed themselves to
the place, which they visited with
minuteness. They then passed to the
grandioS monastery of ST. Lawrence,
which they went through, expressing
their admiration of the rigid architec-
ture of the immortal Herrera, the tar es.
tries and other works of art contained
in this eighth wonder of the word."-
Here the official account discreetly goes
off into generalities, vaiing the great
event of the day. We have seen a
letter from one of the participants in
these Castilian high jinks, which enables
us to supply the hiatus Of the chroni-
cler.
The party was introduced to the
corpse of Charles V. himself, whose
sarcophagus, in the great crypt under
the chapel, had been opened for the &C.
casion. There was seafiold in front
of the niche appropriated to the great
Austrian, with ascending stairs, and the
heavy coffin.lid was slid back on beams,
disclosing the mortal shell of Charles
Quint The clothes had modered away,
and some priestly tinsel was thrown over
the mummy to hide its dry nudity
The chest was bare, massive and drum
tight, giving hollow sound when tap.
ped and still measured SO inches, after
the waste of centuries. The head was
thrown back little, and the forehead
bound with a gold cloth. There were
no eyes-only pair of plastered up
pits. There was no nose-only high,
bony ridge, looking down into a brain
less hollow. The mouth was merely a
distorted ihree-cornered hole, and the
incisors had fallen down the yawning
throat. But the chin was there as in
life, thin and aggressive, with an I'm.
wholesome brown Stable on it yet, that
looked wonderfully like the Titan in
the Musco. The gay pleasure party
went up the ladder in groups, and came
down rather silent and thoughtful. The
scintillant remark that emperors are but
men, after all, was made in all the
modern languages-for diplomats are
never wasteful of wit.
They then moved off In pensivc pro-
cession to the toy house of Charles w.,
"whose preciousness," says the Court
Journal, again becoming communicative,
"they observed with attention, RECALLING
themselves with an exquisite punch"
They took the evening train for Madrid,
loud in their praises of the delicate cur
tesy of Mr.. Sagasta. This keen and
witty intriguant doubtless remembered
the story of the Cid, who won his last
battle the day after his death, strapped
upright in his saddle, and must have
thought how much more of majesty
there would be IN the imperial mummy
of the Escurial, throned in the palace
of the Orient, then in any live princeil
ing now open to royal engagement.

NEW YORK MARKET.
NEW YORK, January II.

New YORK, January II.
Gold having advanced above Ill for day or
two quietly, and with dull and steady market
went back to 1105K, where it has remained with
slight variations for some days. The highest
reached yesterday was 1i0s!, going back to the
"a figure. The money market is little closer
with rates at per cent. currency TO the came
figure in gold. This results from the anxiety
with respect to the proposed legislation OF
Congress on financial affairs. The bank &C
counts on Saturday we're very satisfactory,
large increase being shown over the preceding
week in currency. in legal tender loans, etc.
Having been inquired OF frequently with re-
gard to the prospect for the year, the answer
most appropriate to the times seems to be con-
tanned in the statement OF two or three settled
facts: Last year was one of more ease in
making expenses than in laying up incomes

for himself. Some will take a rosy view in any
event, and spend money fre ely. if they have
It, but the true course will be to curtail eIpen-
ses, cut off unnecessary outlay, and keep finan-
clal affairs well in hand. Flour has advanced,
