GENERAL EXERCISES AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
1T has been a very agreeable custom at the
Portland High School, for some years past, to
arrange bi-monthly for literary olio, consist
ing of readings from popular authors, declama-
tions and recirations, Ito make proper dis
tinctionl; the whole pleasingly interpreted by
vocal and instrumental music. On these occa-
sions which are denomnated general exer-
eises," both departments of the school, consid-
cred as to sex, unite in the girls school room,
without any 'full dress" display. The parents
, of the pupils, former graduates of the T. IL. 3.
and other friends of the school are honored
with standing invitation to occupy the room
so far as the limited space will allow, and en-
joy alike with the pupils the sensible literary
entertainment presented, and the consequent
revival of school day see mes. One of these lit
erary gala-days occurred on Saturday, and
quite number of friends attended, First, the
singing by quartette Misses Greeley and Alb
bott and Messrs. Robinson and TwitchelD was
very well rendered. Miss Small read quite APP
propriately character piece from some face
tious author. Mr.. Charles B. Eden gave as a
defamation the ever popular poem of the ''Rs-
yen." by Poe. Two good compositions were
then read by Misses Curtis and Clark. A trio
on the piano forte was handsomely performed
by Misses Wiley, Drew and Allen. The read
ing OF tho school paper, "The Asptrant" was
next given by Miss Greeley with the proper ex-
preston to the diversified articles, in which the
New York Tribune was noticed and due credit
given for its allusion to the new dress move
ment in this school. A song, finely sung by
Miss Webster, closed the enjoyable occasion.
The new uniform lately adopted by the young
ladies' was worn for the first time, and it is but
Justice to say that it attracted general notice
and admiration for the good sense and good
feeling thereby illustrated. Four colors are al
lowed only, viz: black, blue, brown and drao,
and the dresses are made in shirt waist with
one rufle only on the skirt.

shillings for strewing Westminster
Hall with herbs and PUSHES. 1t is this
custom which Shakespeare refers to in
'.Taming of the Shrew" Where's
the COOKE Is supper ready, the house
trimmed, ruskes streared, cobwebs
swept ?r-and in other plays.
Those were the days when they
had oiled paper or thinly shaved
pieces of horn in what they called
windows, or the openings were filled
with strips of wicker, interlaced in
checker work when scarcely a church
even could boast Of pane of crystal,
and when a nObleman, who had thin
layers of beryl in his castle windows.
was looked upon as very luxurious in
his tastes.
After the cloth was arranged, the
salt-cellar was set on, then the knives
fif they were so fortunate as to have
any) were placed, the spoons, the
drinking horns and the trenchers.
The salt-cellar was the most i'm
portant article of all; very large, and
made with cover. 1t is this latter
peeuliarity which Shakespeare alludes
to, where he makes Launce say" The
cover of the salt hides the salt, and
therefore it is more than the salt"
Where the host could afford it, it
was of solid silver, deliberately chased ;
often very substantial piece of plate,
as costly as his means would allow.
And this accounts for the greed with
which Queen Elizabeth once seized
upon one, on the occasion of visiting
certain great official; she already
received valuable gifts from him, but
before her departure she took salt,
spoon, and fork of fair agate"

NEWSPAPERS IN THE SOUTH.-A
Southern paper says: A great evil of
Southern journalism is, that the South
has at least twice as many papers as
she will support She could support
the number she now has, but she does
not, and, Judging the future by the
past, she will not. There are several
reasons for this. The South has
never been educated to support news
papers. This lack of the proper APP
probation of the Inherent power and
value of journalism is one of the
curses entailed upon the country by
her old slavery system and slavery
civilizations. Under that system and
civilization, the masses, in q great
measure, took their opions of pub
lie affairs, and cast their votes, ac-
cording to the opions and wishes, and,
too often, the dictation of the wealthy
planters, and the politicians their in
terests, whins, or preiudices led them
to support. People thus led had no
particular use for newspapers. And
then, the South not being free
school country, there was not sufficient
education and taste for literature and
culture to cause newspapers to be
sought after The same classes,
equally as poor, and having to work
harder to make Il living in the North
and in Europe, read newspapers
eagerly, and highly value them, be-
cause popular education has dissemin-
ated taste for reading and a thirst
for knowledge.

New Postal Law.

The new law just passed makes
some interesting changes in existing
postal regulations. The most impor-
tant is the authorization OF one-cent
postal cards for correspondence or
printed circulars, similar to those in
troduced in Great Britain nearly two
years ago, and now in use in nearly
all European countries. The House
provided in the bill for cards with
paper flap to cover and conceal the
writing. The Senate changed this to
an open card. In conference commit
tee the style of the card was left to
the discretion of the Postmaster Gen
eral, who prefers the open card, and
will order only that kind to be manu-
featured. The face of the card will
bear a 0ne-cent stamp, and will be
provided with lines for the address,
and the back will be ruled for the let
ter. The price of the card and stamp
will be only one cent. 1t will proba-
bly, be three or four weeks before they
will be ready for sale, as the plates
for printing have yet to be prepared.
The postage on circulars, newspapers
and other transient printed matter,
which, under the old law, was two
cents for every four ounces or less.
Small circulars, which formerly cost
two cents to mail, can now be sent
for one cent, an important reduction
to business men who use the mails
largely to advertise their business.
The change is now in force, the law
being immediate in it's effects, but the
First Assistant Postmaster General
claims the right to suspend the opera
ton of the law until it can be prOmul-
gated to postmasters throughout the
country.

The Table Manners of our An
ceStOrS.

Our Saxon ancestors had some rude
customs about their meals, which are
in striking contrast with modern re-
finement. To begin with, they had
no table, but instead of one IL board
,{bordD, which was brought ont for the
occasion from some place of storage,
laid on trestles, and when the meal
was ended, carefully put away again.
This was called laying the board, to
which our similar expression owes its
origin; and from the same source
comes our word ''boarder n--one who
sits at the board to eat.
The guests and family were sum-
moned by horn, and after they were
seated, the cloth was spread; and
about this they We're extremely par
ticular, but of what kind of fabric it
was made does not so clearly appear.
1t cetainly was not linen, for that was
not introduced into England for such
use until the reign of Elizabeth. For
a long time carpets and pieces of Ia
pestry did service as coverings for
tables.
The use of a carpet for the floor
does not SEEN to have occurred to
those easily satisfied individuals who
were willing to sleep on a straw-mat,
with log under their heads. or at
best a sack filed with chaff or straw,
for bolster. Floors were strewn
with rushes, occasionally renewed as
the accumulation of rubbish made it
necessary. Among the items at the
time of browning Isabella, Queen of
<lohn there is a charge of thirty three
