1t was a long time, however, before anything re.

Mr. Tappan was about to speak, when the Presi-

pan said, aloud
II can see no objection in the world to give this
gentleman the information he desires. There Is
not the least doubt that Mr.. +. L. Iaintor Is
guilty OF having embezzed $500, 600 oil the banks

Should the Salaries Of Teachers Be Reduced -
What the Pay Has Been and What
-. ItI'-"Ths Isb9rsr Worthy
= Of His Hire" "s,

During the past few weeks public attention has
been more than ordinarily directed to the conduct
and management OF the common school system in
the metropolis. The system OF education IN the
public schools has been brought to a point as near
perfection as could well be expected; but this re-
suit has been attained only after years OF expert
ence on the part OF those to whom the work OF ar
ranging and directing the grades and studies has
been committed. The people had become satisfied
with the teachers and the way In which their work
was done, and gave no evidence OF disarection or
dissatisfaction at the salaries paid the directors Of
'the young idea" 1t is not everybody that can he
a school teacher and as owing to the recent
changes in the School Boards and the peculiar ideas
OF economy present prevalent in the city, it has
come to pass that an attempt is to be made to
cut down the salaries OF the teachers TO up If
possible, some ooseness In other quarters The
movement in this regard was originated by Mr..
West, one OF the new Board Of COMMISSIONERS
gentleman who was formerly a member OF the old
Board and one who should have known better than
attempt to make a show OF economy by curtailing
the amounts now paid to the teachers. There are
few men, If any, IN this country who understand
the responsibility OF the teacher better than the
present superintendent OF Education in this city,
Mr. Henry Riddle. In 'sManual of Discipline and
Instruction" prepared by that gentleman it is said
mo task can be more responsible or require the
exercise OF greater than that Of educating the
young. To perform u Alright special preparation
and study are indspensaby necessary, not only IN
relation to the branches OF knowledge wkch
may have been selected basis for
the instruction. but in regard to the proper method
and appliances to be employed in order 10 render
the instruction truly effective A class OF people
who can properly answer the requirements OF the
school teacher should be-and they undoubtedly
are--beyond the ordinary limits OF 'lnteectua
people" Tor kbey must not only possess 'brans' but
obedience, enforce discipline and train the tender
minds Of those committed to their care. 1t cannot
be gainsald that the idea OF cconomzing by re-
ducing the pittance allowed such people is erro-
neous, and that II reform must be practised in
the schools it should be commenced In some other
quarter. TO show exactly how the salaries are ap-
portioned, the following tables will he found very
pertinent. They show what the salaries have been
as lar back as 1864 and how they have been ad:
vauced in compliance with undoubted expressions

Dress Plainly.

Some one has given the following
reasons why people should dress plainly
on Sunday. These reasons are as valid
on any other day in the week. Here
they are:
L. It would Tighten the burden of
many who now find it hard to maintain
their place in society.
2. It would lessen the force of the
temptations which often lead men to
barter honor and honesty for display.
3. If there was less strife in dress at
church, people in moderate circum-
stances would be more likely to attend.
f. Universal moderation in dress at
church would improve the worship by
the removal of many wandering thoughts.
5. 1t would enable all classes of peo-
pie to attend church in unfavorable
weather.
6. It would lessen, on the part of the
rich, the temptation to vanity.
Z. 1t would lessen, on the part of the
poor, the temptation to be envious and
malicious.
g. 1t would save valuable time on the
Sabbath.
9. 1t would relieve our means from
serious pressure, and thus enable us to
do more for good enterprises.

Brain Food.

Some day we may read of a man offer
ing substitute for brains now we are
satisfied to read of brain food. Once
Prof. Agassiz intimated that he dined
on fish when he wished to do little
extra brain work, and forthwith sundry
men ordered and ate fish dinners, but
without, SO far as the world knows, a
corresponding exhibition of intellectual
ability. Now comes Mr.. Gerald Massey,
an English minor poet, declaring that
oatmeal is a brain-inspiring diet. fThere
is deal of phosphorus in oatmeal, -
says Mr.. Massey, " and phosphorus is
brain. There is also large amount of
phosphorus in fish. Consequently I
never miss having a fish dinner once a
week, and like plate of good, thick,
coarse, well boiled Scotch oatmeal por-
ridge every morning in my life" All
if DIR. johnson were only alive He
would revise his famous definition of
oats-s' in England food for horses, in
Scotland food for men," which led a
Scotchman to say, .'And where do you
find such horses as in England, and such
mec as in Scotland ?''

The Shah,s European Tour.

The Perseverance, publishes letter
from citizen of Milan, who has COM
mercial relations with Teheran, contain
ing the following details regarding the
visits of the Shah of Persia to Europe
The journey is definitely fixed for the
month of April next, the Persian mon
arch having been officially invited to the
Universal Exhibition, at Vienna. He
will be accompanied by the principal no
bles of the Empire, with the pomp beft-
ting the "King of Kings" The moiachs,
or priests, oppose the journey of their
Sovereign to Europe, but the latter re-
mains firm in his purpose. He is prond
of the idea that he will be the first Shah
who will have abandoned the old usages
which have been maintained by the infu-
ence of the priests, and which prevented
the Sovereigns of Persia from leaving
their own dominions, and above all from
setting foot on European soil. The sa-
cerdotal influence is the main obstacle
to advancement in Persia but it will be
greatly shaken by the impressions which
the Sovereigns and his Ministers will
bear away from their European travels.
The Shah will visit st. Petersburg, vi
emma, Berlin, Paris, and perhaps Lon
don, then Constantinople, probably 60
ing there by way of Italy.

A Great Bridge.

The proposed Hudson river bridge is
to be one of the largest suspension
bridges in the world. It's exact location
will be four miles north of Peekskill-
at Anthony's Nose. 1t viii be 1 ,665 feet
long between the towers, and 155 feet
above the Hudson river water. 1t is to
3O2 miles of steel wire, weighing, with
the iron and steel in the bridge, II, ,005
tons. 1t will be made strong enough to
hold up safely "a, 900 tons, and to break
through with 25,171 tons. E. w. Ser
rell, the engineer, says 5000, 900 tons of
coal from Pennsylvania, 1000 tons of
iron from Eizabethport, and 5000, 900
tons of through freight from the Midland
and Erie, will pass over this bridge and
over the New England railway, which
will run from Turner'S on the Erie road
over he.sbridge to the New York, Boston
and Montreal railroad.
