The SCHOOLS.

The sem;-annual examination OF the pub
lie schools of the city Las been in progress
for several days, and viii! continue during
the whole of next week. The examinations
this week are Of the lower grades, and the
general result shows very satisfactory pro-
gress. We have been unable TO attend all
the schools, ard only "drop i'm occasionally.
hence have not furnished daily reports. We
called at the Third avenue school--Miss
Blackmar, prineipal-yes:erday morning;
the seventh grade, under The charge of Miss
Oliver, was undergoing very rigid e1amin-
alton at the hands of Prof. Williams,
and it is only justice TO the school TO say that
the pupils acquitted themselves in 4 manner
that reflected credit upon themselves and
their teachers. notwithstanding the pres
enoe of 4 large number OF visitors, causing
the pupils more or less embarrassment, the
little ladies and gentlemen answered prompt
ly and generally very correctly, all the ques-
tons put to them, showing ready familiar
ity with the work of the grade. The gov
eminent in this room was particularly good,
and the unexoeptionably neat and tidy APP
pearance Of the scholars showed that tie
teacher had paid proper degree of attention
to thesr personal habits, and while training
their minds had no. been unmind:ul of their
bodir.

ANOTHER CANARH.

The best informed eastern papers say the
sensational dispatch of n few days ago, in
timating that the relations between the gov
ernments at Washington and st. Petersburg
have suddenly become so unfriendly
that diplomatic communication is
on the point Of being broken of,
should be taken with considerable salt. The
Fish-Caiacazy quarrel is an unpleasant epi-
sode in our diplomatic history, but the two
governments will not 90 to loggerheads over
it, or the friendly relations Of the two NJ
tions be injuriously affected. Russia is play
ing little game in Asia that viii eventually
bring it face TO face with England, and when
that time comes-now apparently not far
distant-it will not care to have sore spot
ranking in the American mind. Ii is Rus
sian policy to cultivate the most friendly re-
lations with the United States, and American
policy is in the same direction. There is no
cause whatever for the two countries to dis
agree on territorial considerations, and there
is too much good sense on both sides for
them TO get seriously by the cars on matter
of diplomatic punctilio.

Horse Power vs.. Mule Power

Two turner's living near GaIesburg, got TO
bantering about whether team of hor es
belonging to one couldpull more than team
of mules belonging to the other. 1t was de-
cided to try it in the middle of the main
street of the village. The mules were hi,ched
to the end of long stout chain and the
horses to the other end. At the words get
up" quick sprang each span, both sharp
shod, gaining and losing by fits and Starts,
the horses finally pulling the mules after
them. Another trial the mules went off with
their load. This was followed by a long.
cheering shout from the crowd. But after
various trials i. was decided that the horses
were the stonger, fer in the last trial they
pulled the mules after them, turning them
about in their harness, amidst the great APP
plause of the bys.anders.-Louisrilte Courier

sixth grade, under charge of Miss Geyer,
was put through the ordeal of "examina-

the compliment was richly deserved. Grade

And gold be found at root of tree.

And no horse or ass lie at his side
Under water men shall walk.

Fire and wafer shall wonders do,
