1t is self-evident that there should
be a reform in our School matters. T
think the Law needs to be made
shorter, and changed in some respects
at least SO that Sub-Directors should
be paid moderate wages for the time
they are actually engaged with official
duties. But in my opinion the great
difficulty in not having better Schools
than we do, does not lie with the
County Superintendent and sub-Di.
rectors and Teachers, but with the
people.
It Is great deal easier to find fau,,
with anything than 1t is to remedy il.
but so long as the great mass of thu
people takes no interest i'm the Publjc
Schools, just SO long we shall have
just such Schools as we now have
Let the masses move in this School

proper support, and we will have
better Schools and not so much fautt

true interests, and attend to them

TO which will be added Is cents in
each case to pay the costs of collection.
From statistics carefully compiled
from the best sources of information, it
is shown that the above graduation of
rates according to age, will prove just
aud equitable according to the risk at
each age.
= When the number of members is
less than 1000, all the members will
pay according to the above table of
rates; but when the number of mem.
bers is more than 1000, those of the
1st class will pay only such proportional
part Of the above rates, as 1000 bears
to the whole number of members.
Members of the I'd class, will pay full
rates until the number Of members is
more than $500, after which they will
pay such proportional part of the rates
az $500 bears to the whole number of
members. Any member can save the
added cost of collections, by depositing
in advance, any number of assessments
with the Association. Such deposit
will be placed to the credit of the de-
positor on the books, and when exhaus-
ted, notice will be sent him, or her,
statingss the names and residences of
those on whose account the same has
been paid.
Every member holding two Certif-
Gates, sustains the same relation to the
Association as two members who hold
but one certificate each; and on the
=. death of any other member, will pay
two assessments. At his, or Der death
all other members will pay-the same al
though two members had died.

The PUNISHMENT OF THE WHEEL
The punishment the wheel which was
suppressed in 1890, was one Of the most
frightful that can be immagined. The
criminal was extended on d ST.. Andrews
cross. There were on it eight nOtches
cut, one below each arm, between the ell.
bow and wrist, another between each ell .
bow and the shoulders one under each
thigh, and one under each leg. The exc
cotioner, armed with a heavy triangular
bar Of iron, sga7e violent blow on each
of these eight places, and, Of course,
broke the bone; and ninth on the pit
Of the stomach. The mangled victim
was now lifted from the cross and streach.
ed on small wheel, placed vertically at
one of the ends of the cross, his back on
the upper part of the wheel, his head
and feet hanging down The sentence
bore that he was to remain there as long
as It pleased God to prolong his life.
Many fingered there five or six hours :;
some longer A son of q jeweller, in the
Place de la D0uphine, who had murdered
his father, was only relieved by death at
the end Of twenty four hours. These un-
! happy wretches, often uttering horrible
blasphemies, always tormented by ter,
rible thirst, necessarily called cut for
something to drink. A man Of God, a
priest, never left their side during their
excruciating agony, but necessarily put
water to their parched lips, wiped the
sweat from their burning brow, and poin-
ted to merciful God above the scaffold,
extending his arms to receive theme.
This holy duty was always discharged by

CHICAGO

The TELEGRAPH of last week gave
some account Of the fire in Chicago and
IF the cond ton of thing existing there.
The restitution of hundred thousand
persons and the call upon humanity for
immediate relief was spoken Of We can
now say that the World came promptly
20 the relief of Chicago, and that there is
now sufficient for the immediate relief of
the destitute and perhaps for some time
to come. Assistance may be required for
some time and may be provided for ard
furnished when necessary. Thousands
are still being carried out Of the city by
railroads free. None need remain in the
city from want Of means to get out And
none remaining need suffer for the want
of the necessaries OF life.
The boundaries Of the burnt region
was given last week, which, though i'm
perfect were perhaps as accurate as any,
but conveyed very imperfect idea OF the
extent and loss. The space burned over,
including the business part Of the cIty,ls
estimated at 1900 to 1900 acres The
IribeSne says: eve think it would be
safe to estimate that tWothirds Of the
capital invested IN buildings in the entire
city persisted on that dreadful Monday"
Only a quarter of the grain and tive out
of sixteen OF the Ware Houses were de
stroyed. The loss Of life has not yet been
ascertained and perhaps never will be. 1t
has been large, bat with so extensive and
rapid a fire it is fortunate it was no larger.
Gen. Sheridan has been placed in com
mand of the city by and under the Mayor
with a sufficient number Of soldiers to
pre-, erve peace and order. On the nth.
Sheridan reported the continued peace
and quiet of the city, and that there had
been no case of arson, hanging or shoot
ing, or even riot or street fight since the
disaster Of Sunday night and Monday
morning.
The Insurance companies out of Chica-
go are generally safe and are paying
1he losses as soon as ascertained. The
Chicago Companies will generally fail
and perhaps a few out Of Chicago The
National and Savings Banks commenced
business as usual on Tuesday at 10 o'clock.
