evening, a crowd oflawyers had collected
around the fire that blazed cheerfully on

no one moved to give him room to warm

wall in the back part Of the room.
Presently smart young limo OF the

returning from the Portugal street Thea
ire in a hackney-coach, he ordered the
man to drive to the Sun Tavern, Clare
Market. Passing one of the parlor win
dows that was invitingly open, Rich
sprang out of the coach into the room.
The eoachman just then hating, and find
ing the vehicle empty, slammed the steps,
cursed the cheat who had bilked him,
and mounted the box to drive off. At
this moment Rice jumped back. and put
ting out his head told the man to turn
the coach and set him down. After he
got out, Rich swore at the stupid fellow,
and offered him fare. Jar7ey declined;
he did not like the looks of things, and
said stoutly his master had ordered him
not to take any money all that night.
Rich replied, Your master is fool;
here is a shilling for yourself. But the
man was resolute, regained his box, and
as he drove off, shouted: "No, no, Mr..
Devil, I know you IN spite of your shoes,
and so you're made fool of for once"

with him, provided the services of
more competent personcannot be secured.
When the teacher holds limited license,
| or when be requests the Board to COM
municate with the Superintendent for
the purpose of procuring such license, my
advice to the Board is: Do not hire him
while there is left possibility of engage
ing properly qualified person within the
interval preceding the day on which your
school is to be commenced. If no suita-
Bile applicant belonging to the county
seeks the position, write to the president
of normal school, or to the principal Of
some well-conducted graded school and
ask him to send you teacher whom he
can recommend. Our home talent should
be promoted when it is meritorious, and
preferred when it is Of an order that de-
serves recognition but even Horace
Greeley would not advocate protection
for class Of teachers who do not spend
dollar for educational works, nor give
az hour to study, and who are indolently
waiting for something hotter 'to turn up.
Reasonable wages should be offered, suf
fcient to induce competent persons to ac-
cept the positions rendered. Some teach
ers accomplish more in three months
than others in six or nine months; and.
if children receive more sound knowledge
from the new teacher in one term than
they formerly acquired in three terms,
the district saves money by making the
change, though double the usual salary
is paid. As the only alternative, the
teacher holding limited license may be
engaged when the members Of the board
think his instruction likely to prove bet
ter than none.
A number of applicants who had some
experience in teaching will be refused GER
ti6cates this spring because they have
failed to pass satisfactory examination.
Others may expect to be set aside just as
soon as the contracts under which they
are now teaching have expired. Every
teacher in the county whose examination
average is below 4 i-2 must understand
that his position is insecure, and that he
is merely tolerated until some one moro
worthy can be found to take his situation.
Continuing him in place single day be-
yond the time when his services can be
dispensed with, is offering a premium on
incompetency and the hope that his So
cial or political standing, or his family re-
lations with some members of the school
board may insure him certificate, will
prove delusive. His only safety is in his
own exertions to fit himself for the work
he has to do.

NO HEART IN 1T.

The Detroit Tribune is the leading Re-
publican organ in Michigan, and has at lis
masthead the names of Grant and Wilson
as candidates for President and Yice-Prez
sident Of the United States. Yet,says the
Cincinnati Eaqtirer, it is evident that the
Tribune can have but little heart in the sup

Governor Austin Blair with the Liberal
Republicans, which is personally highly
favorable to the Ex-Governor, the Detroit
Tribune says: @ - Ga Efs

ency to regard the Government as an en-
gine Of jobbery, and she Republican party

interests of individuals; the in-timed and
senseless resistance to demands for investi-
cation; the insidious opposition encountered

all these things have been perceived by
Gov. Blair, have been steadily resisted by
him, both in bis votes and in words OF bold

created in his mind bias, Of which his
present action is but a natural sequence"

the case in stronger terms than the above.

four days; that Bancroft, the American
envoy notified the Emperor's aid, Gen.
Schwartzkoppen, that Sherman would be
happy to pay his respects to the Emperor;
that Sherman called promptly on Schwartz
koppen the day of his arrival and expressed
a desire 10 see the Emperor; that he never
pretended that he had no uniform, though
on this Visit he was in civilians dress and

ceiyed reply. the following day TO the ei-
feet that ths Emperor lad no objection to
rereising Gen. Sherman. Bancroft advised
Gen. Sherman not 10 accept the privilege on

man did not, but pleaded his engagements.
The German side answers to the state
ments of Ten. Sherman that he had no
RIGHT to esl, an audience Of the Emperor,
except in his character as General, and in
the Uniform of his rank. The etiquette Of
the Prussian court or this subject is as old
as the monarchy; that Sherman dined in
uniform at Bancrofb's the night Schwartz
koppen's answer was received, and Schwatz-
kopDen was present and called attention to
the fact that Gen. Sherman is the highest
representative in the field of department
of the American Government; which sup
piled the enefiies OF Germany with arms
during the war of 1870 and 1871; that he IS
likewise well known here for his pronounced
procliyites for France then and since, and
had therefore no right to expect from this
Government any but purely official civilities.

which is surveyed and in process Of con,
