After all there are only two lady can
didates for the Metropolitan School
Board, 10 wit Miss Garrett and Miss
Emily Davies and now there can be no
more. MS the nomination list is closed
Having had the privilege this evening OF
being amongst mn audience which both
these ladies addressed. may be per
mitted word or two upon the subject.
The OCCASION was that Of Miss Davies
meeting the mtepayers of Greenwich,
ior which district she is candidate for
seat at the Board. Judging from the
reception which she met with, and the
manner in which she comported herself,
| am inclined TO say that she is likely 10
be returned. and moreover she ought Ia
be. Miss Davies founds her claim on q
/ ten years active and successful operation
/ for the improvement of the education ui
/ girls. She was the main founder Of the
I ladies College at Hltchin, which N 70
/ be in connection with the University OF
Cambridge. She was the foremost in
promoting the Oxford and Cambridge
local examination for girls. She was in'
strumental in securing the commission
on endowed schools, and has constantly
written articles and books ON the differ
I ent branches of female education and the
modes OF livelihood for girls, and, con.
1 tending as she does for the necessity OF
the female element for the management
of every school, shows her aptitude for
this duty very effectively. Miss Davies
is of comparatively mature age, is Of very

in her demeanor, and exhibits none oI
the ways which are attributed 10 the con
ventional (" strong-minded. Her self
possession when addressing the assembly
seemed 10 be derived wholly from 4
sense Of fitness for the duty which she
seeks 10 undertake, and an earnest pur
pose. Miss Garret speaks like an elo
cutionist, and with considerable com
mand of language, while Miss Davies

ioal than exactly eloquent. Both ladiei

A MARE sH.-Two fishermen recently
captured rare fish, apparently speci-
men of the spinous shark, between Low
lee Buoy and Mouse-hole Island, in
Mounts Bay, Cornwall. The fish is eight
feet long and three feet girth, and weighs
about three cwt II has six large fins,
and small saw-nke teeth; il is almost
covered with numerous short spikes, of
the shape and size of the common black
thorn prickles. 1t has been very seldom
taken in British seas. The men were
fishing with hook and line, but seeing
the size of the fish, they CALLED and then
drowned il.

Scarcity of Women In Southern California

A lady in Green Bay, Wisconsin, re-
Gently gave a party at her house, at which
there were present eighteen babies, most
/ of them with tneir mothers, and no less
/ than sixteen baby carriages were standing
in the yard at one time. A California
correspondent writing from Sacramento,
notes this event, and makes il the text
/ for the following:
, How Southern California 1ghs regret
fully over such paragraph Instead OF
sixteen baby carriages in one yard, what
/ do YOU think of fourteen horses tied TO
I the horse rack before the door of one
marriageable maiden?
Appropos of these matters little
story which occurred in my own expert
ence When was journeying scroSs the
continent afoot one day, when L was APP
preaching Los Angeles. / came 70
house made of rough boards, standing
absolutely alone IN the vast clover plains.
There was the aforementioned number
Of horses hitched before the door, and i
thought from the remarkably lugubnous
counteDances of the people standing
about, that there must be funeral. But
: when i went in 20 procure drink OF
water, asked the boy, and he told me
with much gigghng and ducking OF his
head into his shoulders, that they were
all come coarting his sister. This piqued
my curiosity at once and determined,
I if possible, TO get a glimpse OF maiden
who could exercise such potent attraction

this Penelope. The rest formed them
selves into melancholy row or queue,
waiting for their turns to take n peep
through the crack OF the door. At the
end OF this queue stationed myself, and
soon found that, as soon as they looked,
most of them came back again to their
turn. There Was one poor fellow whose
distress was pitiabie. He could only
apply one eye TO the crack, and he kept
dodging backward and forward, right
and left, rs if TO plead:
"Drink 10 me only with thine eyea,
And | will pledge with mine"
or at least one OF them. But presently
brilliant suggestion seized him. He
turned his head to one side and ranged
both his eyes on the crack at once, but
this gave him such an overwhelming i'm
preston of her charms that he sighed
and dropped tear.
At last, when was pretty near the
gaol, my neighbor next in the rear began
10 suspect there was foul play, and scru-
tinized me from head to foot, evidently
not liking my appearance, and not rel
ishing the prospect OF having his four
teenth chance reduced to a fifteenth.
I Then he said TO me:
"Scuse me, stranger, are you resi-

"Well. now, stranger, less you've took

New STATES. A Washington specia,
SAYS there is n probability that two new
States viii be admitted during the present
Congress. Senator Nye has introduced
bill to admit Colorado, and the House
Committee Oh Territories have agreed tc
make n State of New Mexico, under the
name of Lincoln. Colombo came within
a few votes of being admitted some year
ago. and went so lar as to elect United
States Senators, who went to Washington
and waited for weeks in the expectation
of getting their seats. Utah viii also
knock for admission, aud her claim

Cool all Around,

A California paper tells the following
story The house of Charles Lines was
entered by "a burglar about two o'clock
in the morning. The fellow made so
much noise that Mrs. Lines was awaken
ed. She reused her husband and inform
ed him that some one was IN theroom.
After listeninga moment and hearing no
unusual noise, he turned over and lighted
the gas to quiet HIS wife's fears, and then
settled himself for another snooze. Mrs.
Lines, feeling positive that she bad
heard the footsteps of some one IN the
room, and craEled cautiously down and
peered over the footboard. There she
saw the burglar crouched upon his hands
and knees. Unlike utmost women, she
did not announce the discovery by a
series Of little screams but she crawled
back and whispered in her husbands ear
the unwelcome intelligence, There is a
great big robber right down behind the
footboard.p Mr.. Lines crawied down to
take a peep for himself. Sure enough,
there the fellow was, doubled up into as
small space as possible, anxiously wait
ing for the light 10 be extinquished 81
that he might continue his researches.
Mr.. Lines seized him by the hair, and
was on the point OF giving him severe
talking 10 and then kicking him down
stairs, when the burglar presented a
revolver, with his compliments, and told
him he could continue 10 live, provided
he kept quiet and behaved himself. Mr..
Lines acquiesced, and the foiled ruiiiar
hastily left the premises. He wns vel
dressed. and from the fair view that Mr.
Lines had he thinks he viii be able q
identity him il they should chance tc
meet again.

The REPORT Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture in reference
10 the cotton crop, says the returns
Justify an estimate of 8. 500, 600 CONNER
cial bales, l, 767, ,O00. 600 pounds, or eigh-
ty-two per cent, of the crop of 1883,
which was 2,154, $40, 900 pounds. The
increase in sugar-cane over last year is
estimated at thirty per cent in Louisi-
ana. A similar rate is returned or Tex
as, and some advance has been made in
Georgia and Florida. So much cane is
annually used at "plant-cane" in ex-
tending the areage that the product of
sugar and molasses does not represent
the real increase in cane-growing.

We are informed that an establishment for
the manufacture of plug tobacco will shortly go
into operation in this city, under the MANAGE
meat OF Col. W. w. Leftwitch, of Liberty, Va.
1t will be stock company, and We learn that
the undertaking has been met with the most
gratifying success enough having been already
subscribed to commence operations. -
This is an enterprise that will succeed, and
will prove source Of profit to the owners and a
benefit to this section. Tobacco is one Of the
most profitable crops raised, and when the
farmers know they have market for the raw
article at their very doors, they will engage in
its culture and find it rsmunerative. Many of
thsm raise small patches now, but it il chiefly
for home consumption, but in time it viii be-
come staple, as it is with the planters Of Vir-
ginia. - - 81 rs
The climate of East Tennessee is peculiarly
adapted to tobacco culture, and We have only to
refer to the success of Mr.. Joseph Williams as q
corroboration Of this assertion to set any doubts
at rest. e.,9.,,.-, $500
We saw yesterday . sample of tobacco raised
in this county, which was pronounced by q
Virginia dealer to be equal to any grown in the
Old Dominion. and what one farmer can do

little attention. A market for milk could
not be found except near the larger towns,
and just for producing milk alone, a dairy
farm would not be profitable. When
made into butter and cheese, we have no
doubt but that it would pay. Cheese has
never been manufactured TO any consider
able extent, but the business has been
tried here previous to the war, and we be-
lieve on q small scale since, the quality of
the article being excellent. Good Western
Reserve cheese sells here, at wholesale, for
10 to 20 cents per pound, and retails for %
cents. AT these figures it does seem as ii
the business could be made to pay. But
ter always finds . ready market and COM
rnands fair prices.
There is no question upon which we re-
ceive more inquiries, than the facilities for
education. Those contemplating immi-
grafton, as class, are anxious to know
about this. We regret that we have not a
better report to give on this subject. We
have no State system of Common Schools.
The counties are left to maintain. free
schools or not, as the County Courts may
determine The result is, that five-sixths
of the counties are without free common
schools. There has been considerable
talk on the question of late, however, and
we trust something may come ofit. Knox,
and few other counties have recently
levied a tax for the support of such schools
but as yet they are not in operation. We
trust they will be during the coming sum-
mer.
We have a number Of good schools in
East Tennessee, under the management Of
private individuals and corporations.
Among them is the East Tennessee Uni
versity, located at this place, and which
was some time ago endowed with the State
Agricultural College fund. We predict
for this school a prosperous future. The
East Tennessee Wesleyan University, at
Athens, is an institution of high character,
and promises great deal in the work of
education. There is fine Collge at Mary
vile, with large, well-constructed buildings
just completed. We have good male and fe-
