Old.FashiOned Ideas of Official Duty.

The following letter, written nearly
95 years ago by Gen. Greene, has a
special interest at this time, and might
be read to advantage by some of the
public office-holders in this city and
elsewhere:
CAMP. Octob. 13, 177S.
DEAR SIR: l wrote to you some time
past by relation of mine, Mr.. Griffin
Greene, from the State of Rhode Island,
in which requested you to give Mr..
Greene such letters of recommendation
and credit as he might stand in need of
to execute his business to the best ad
vantage. l also desired you to give
him all the assistance in your power,
and to send him such sums of money
as he might want, and that would be
responsible. For fear you should mis-
take my intention, l have thought prop
er to write you this letter to acquaint
you that it was not my intention that
you should give Mr.. Greene any aid or
assistance in business that he may I'M
dertake which will il terfere in the least
degree with the duties of your Office or
affect its reputation. Neither must you
lend Mr.. Greene anv public moneys.
If he should want cash, and you cannot
supply him without making use of the
public money, his demand must not be
complied with. 1 make it a standing
rule never to make use of the public
money for any private purpos, what
ever. But if you can oblige Mr.. Greene
in your private capacity, orfurnish him
with money out Of your own private
stocks without injury to youself, 1 shall
be much obliged to you to do it. am,
with great respect and regard, your
most obedient, humble servant,
NATH. GREENE, A. NJ. G.
James Calhoun, Esq.

We have so often answered questions
as to what we would advise people to
cultivate, that it almost seems work Of
supererogation to repeat; but We re-
member that what man wants to know
is just as important to him as if no one
ever knew it before, and the answer is
as valuable as if no such instructions or
suggestions had ever been made. We
give this general rule: Learn first what
your soil will produce, and then study
the wants of the market upon which you
must depend for the sale of your pro-
duce-and the nearer home you can find
that market the better-and try to pro-
duce the best of its class of articles, and
sell them as cheaply (retaining reason
able profit as any one else can. This is
in brief the law which should govern
producers in selecting crops TO cultivate,
or stock to breed.

REQUIEM Mass FOR NApoLEoS.-Con.

REQUIEM Mass FOR NAPoLEoN.-Con-
siderable excitement was caused in
Paris by the celebration of the mass in
ten churches for the repose of the soul
of the late Emperor Napoleon. The
ceremony, which had been delayed un-
til such time as those imperialists who
had attended the funeral obsequies at
Chiselhurst should have been able to
return and take part in it, was of sn
exceedingly solemn character, and at
tracted vast numbers. The churches
selected were those of st. German
Auxerrois, st. Augustin, st. Eustache,
La Trinite, ST. Clotilde, st. Etienne du
Mont, st. Paul, st. Vincent de Paul,
st. Pierre Montrouge, and st. Pierre
Montmarte. Everywhere the services
were conducted with perfect tranquility,
and they were mainly attezded by very
large congregations, many of the per-
sons present wearing violets.

NEW ORLEANS, June l9, 1913.
EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
Under the head Of "Canriba)ism on the
Increase" Roundabout shows the undis.
guised nature of his professed friendship
for the teachers. Not Tong since he pub
lished an account-on the statement Of the
boy who had received it-of q brutal pun
ishment inflicted in one Of the schools back
Of town. Instead Of investigating the mat
ter himself, and having statement from
both sides, he gave place to the magnited
story OF the boy. and afterwards found out
that there was different light than the
one in which some evil disposed persons
would have it presented. Now. he says
there are "rumors' Of increased bruta lity.
II Roundabout wishes to assume the respon'
sbiiity of correcting abuses in the schools.
let him in justice be sure there are grounds
for his interference. instead Of relying on
"rumor." These criticisms certainly can
avail nothing. II there are wrongs the
school board will act promptly. They have
the effect of intimidating teachers. and in.
creasing a spirit of insubordiRation in the
pupils. thus producing effects detrimental
to good discipline. This disposition is too
noticeable in some Of the schools already,
and is attributable only to lack Of interest
on the part Of parents. Parents are solely
blamable for many of the whppings their
ch ildren receive. They very seldom visit
the schools. or have any conversation with
the teacher concerning their ckildren's pro.
gress or behavior.
They-the children-knowing their pa.
rents are ignorant Of the schoo! workings,
and of the nature Of their conduct while
there, are induced to act in manner that
they would not dare to if they were home.
What if they do get whipping: Many OF
them do not care unless j: be OF very Sc
we're nature. One oiense leads to another.
until at length the pupil gets severe pun.
ishment. a ''rumOr' Of this punishment
greatly magnifed-reaches the parent,
and he or she. very much enraged. gives
the item to Roundabout, who publishes it,
a. the same time very severely criticising
the teacher. withou: really knowing what
he is criticising.
The whole blame rests with the parent
for not taking more interest in the school,
not visiting it more frequently. and not
more earnestly cooperating with the
teacher.
