beneficial to children, and yet so searching
as to effectually purge out the great cor
ruptions of the blood, such as the scrofllous
and syphilitic contamination. Impurities,
on diseases that have lurked in the system
for years, soon yield to this powerful anti
dote, and disappear. Hence its wonderful

1t is an excellent restorer of health and
strength in the Spring. By renewing the
appetite and vigor of the digestive organs,
it dissipates the depression and listless Ian

for cleansing the blood. The system moves
on with renewed vigor and new lease of
life.

ARRESTED FOR A MURDER CoMNITrYn FRI
TEEN YEARS AGo.-On the 18th of Nav, 1857. a

thence emoved to the New York hospital. where

coroner Connery the Jury held HAYES respon.
sible, and declared one Thomas HAYES AZ an
accessory before the fact; but neither narty
cou'd be brought TO justice, they having left the
country. All efforts to secure the accused
proves Unavailing; and the case like so many
others was forgotten. Michael HAYES. who inn
mediately after the murder had fed 70 Cali
io1hla, thought that the case was forgotten. re-
turned AT last to the Empire City, where he was
met In the street by brother OF his victim. who
instantly recognized him. After having learned
the Whereabouts of Hayes residence, O'DonnelI
prevailed upon the district attorney to Law the
case before the grand jury, the old Indictment

MODELLING THE SCHOOLS OF THE WORLD APTsR
FHEN-vIsIT OF THE BRAZILIAN MINISTER
ANUTHKR REASON wnS CONGRESS SHOULD
Councillor A p de Carvalho Borges, the
Brazilian Minister 20 the United States, few
days ago received a letter from y. A. Coerea de
Oliyera, the Minister of the Interior OF Brazil,
inciosing plan for a school building to be
erected IN the city OF Rio de Janeiro, and di-
sets OF school furniture for the rooms in said
building. Mr.. BOrges was directed to see that
the greatest care should be bestowed on the
manufacture of the furniture, especially with
regard to the choice of the wood, having due
consideration to the climate of Brazil.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Borges. accompanied
by Mr.. William Ballantyne, visited the Franklin
was escorted through the building by Superln-
tendeDt Wilson and Trustees Hart, Stuart, and
Harris, and the whole machinery of the public
of the visit was not so much for the purpose of
witnessing the regular school exercises as for
the purpose of examining the fur niture and the
use to which every article is put. The explana-
ton most full and thorough, and Mr.. Borges
was impressed, as every other visitor has been,
with the excellence OF our system. He will, at
some future day, risit the schools to witness the
class exercises, and will give his government the
bcnt lit of all he may see and hear.
Many reasons have been given why Congress
and the national government should be liberal
toward our school systen m, and this visit of the
brazilian Minister furnishes an opportunity to
advance an additional reason-the presence
here OF representatives of all nations, and the
fact that all the world seems to be directing its
attention to public education. Our schools are
naturally looked to to furnish models. Only a
few months ago the members of the High Joint
Commission visited the schools, and took much
interest therein. Last week we had a delegation
1Iom Japan, and now the great empire of South
America seeks light on the subject. Is it not
safe to presume, therefore, that the schools in
the capital OF the United States are to become
the models tor the public schools of the world?
they become, therefore, of more than local
lmpOrtanee-they assume a national import-
ance, and Congress should not fail to make such
and extend such aid as will bring
our schools up TO the most perfect Standards
