GOVERNMENTS LOWER.
The decline In gold and the scarcity OF money
operated unfavorably on the government list, which
was lower, but could hardly be called weak. The

$500 200 at 100 1o9.12 owing to the limitation of

TUE BAND OF HOPE.
A brotherhood Of True Christians.

Brotherhood OF True CHRISTIANS.
This band or brotherhood was organized
about two weeks ago, with the Objectof follow
ing the Saviour's injunction, and going out in
the wilderness and hedges, as it were, and bring
those that were needy and starving to the mar
rage feast of the lamb They commenced with
about six members, but have added several to
the number since. They go from house TO
house, as they are invited, and hold meetings,
in which they preach, exhOrt, sing and pray,
and, thank God, are accomplishing great good.
The society has held several meetings on Wa
ter street and in that neighborhood, which have
been attended with signal success, and about five
or six persons have been converted. We were
present at one Of their meetings last night and
werc gratiied at the deep religious interest
manifested. There were two seekers last nj ght
one of whom made bright profession, and i'm
mediately went to work to induce her husband
to also try, and see that the Lord is good. Every
one present seemed deeply affected, and we
doubt not but what great good is being accom-
plshed. Many of their congregations are, per-
haps, hearing the word for the first time, or if
not that, are at least very irregular attendants
at any public place of worship, and therefore
their undertaking is the more worthy of COM
mendation. God speed them, we pray. in their
glorious work, and may the cir labors of love be
crowned with the best of success and scores be
converted to the God they adore.

OUR CITY FREE SCHOOLS.
A Visit to The Girls High school at The
Bell H0use.

We are truly glad to find that our free school
system is getting more and more in favor in our
community. The distrust and lack of conf
dence with which they have heretofore been
received by our people is fast passing. away,
and the system is destined to rise higher in the
esteem of all fair minded men as its workings
become more generally known and the benefits
derived therefrom are more fully appreciated.
We called in at the Girls High School at the
Bell House, and were pleased to find some of
the first families of Knoxville represented there
This branch of the free schools contains about
sixty scholars and is under the charge Of Miss
Grace Kimball, lady formerly connected with
and one of whom Professor Butler,
the principal, spoke in the highest terms, saying
that be knew of no one more competent to teach
the youthful mind than she. Miss Klmball Is
assisted by Miss Betty Ramsey, ALSO lady OF
good standing as a teacher. She evidently has
her school under perfect control and everything
is worked in a smooth, systemical manner. 1t
being Friday evening, recitations and compost
tions were in order, and were rendered in style
creditable to both scholars and teachers. Our
space is too limited to particularize, but suffice
it to say that a number of them were really
splendid and proved conclusively that their
mental training is in good and experienced
hands. In this room there is q piano, and the
1rSt lessons III music are Delng taught. II has
been suggested that Mrs. Wicks should take
charge Of this department, and probably will,
if suitable arrangements can be made with her.
The arrangements in the school room are
good the desks being of The latest improved
style, each accommodating two scholars also
blackboards and other school-room conven-
fences are to be found there. All the scholars
presented neat, tidy appearance and would re-
fleet credit to any institution of learning, even
of the highest grade. In the evening when the
school closes there is not that general rush to
the door, as is usual in schools, but system
and order prevails in every department. At
the ringing of the bell, lady performes a
march on the piano loud enough to be heard all
over the house, and by this music all the differ
ent schools in the building march out in the
street, commencing with the lowest class and
closing with the one we have been speaking of,
The Girls, High School. Success we say, yes,
success, we pray to the cause of popular educa-
ton in Knoxville.
