Monseigneur Dupanloup, the Bishop of Orleans, is
clever, sincere, and eloquent person, everybody
knows who ever reads his discOurses But he is
perfectly blind and antique as regards the question
of education i'm France. He desires to continued
the system which ordains eleven hours of I'M
interrupted study gives time for bodily develop
ment, no fresh air. and which scouts the modern
languages represented by German and English-in
favor of an endless round of Latin verse. My Lord
of Orleanss arguments, however, will have but
small effect upon the energetic Jules Simon. who is
endeavoring to introduce in the French curriculum
many of the modes and manners of the English
schools. Are we unreasonable in thinking that NJ.
Simon would not have doae i'll in studying the
American system instead of the Englishi If the
French 60 to extreme, so do the English to the
other in mania for air and exercise too often sacr
fcing brains to broad shoulders. The American
system poor as it is in its methods of instruction
combines in its programme the best English and
French ideas. We don't make our pupils weak and,
in the end, ignorant, by too many hours of study;
do make of them muscular young giants
with fondness for cricket and a generally misty
amount of information. We teach in ridiculously
imperfect and superficial way, but the basis on
which we have built our swaying and crooked
edifce is good and wholesome, aud worthy of study
by other peoples
Perhaps we may safely say that the blessed Spring
is here at last. The indications of the ethereal adj
vent are unmistakable, albeit they may not be alb
soutely pronounced. Gradually the body Of snow
is shrinking in the streets and the difficulties of
travel in this city have been very considerably
ameorated. The weather-wise predict another
fall of snow during the present month, from which
may the meteorological man in Washington exert all
his magic art to protect us The display of fragrant
Dubious plants in the parlors is and has been for
some time very beautiful. Those who are of sensi-
tive constitution recognize the breath of Spring
while she is yet afar off, and know that the scepter
of this cruel Winter is departing from him.
Is it necessary for to say how savagely imperous
he has been for the last three monthsi Really the
rigors had begun to DO just little tedious But
courage friends! The worst il wen nigh over
Bright skies. balmy airs. the green turf. the gay
parterre the amabe beauties of nature are at hand
and 1t will be pleasure worthy of the gods. if we
have the gods patience to wait to watch the changes
and the plea SAINT prospect Of the growing year. 1t
will DO our own fault if we do not wax kinder aud
better and pleasanter of spirit az the skies deepen
and the color comes back to the face of nature.

The Scannell trial comes to an end without
result. The failure of the jury to agree
probably adds to the prisoners hopes of final
escape but it is discouraging TO the general
cause of Justice that neither conviction nor
acauittal has been reached. The only thing
now TO be done is to go on with new trial
as soon as possible. The case seemed clear
one; but the prisoner is still entitled to the
only resource now left under the law. The
one imperative need of the hour IN our courts
here il TO get murderers promptly tried and
the sentences of the court promptly executed.
To postpone the trial of a murderer till two
wears after the commission of the Offense is to
diminish the chances of his conviction, and,
If convicted, to set half the community trying
TO secure a Communication of sentence.

The examination at Beeman Acade-
my, on the sixth and seventh instants,
passed offin manner very satisfactory
to the patrons and others who were
present. During Thursday, and Fri
day forenoon, classes in Arithmetic.
Algebra, Analytical Spelling,and Rhet-
oric, were thoroughly tested by the
Principal, ms TO their knowledge of the
several branches. Glasses i'm Algebra,
Physiology, and Physical Geography
were also reviewed by Mrs. Ieaven-
worth, and passed The ordeal with cred
it. The examination in the two last
named branches fully proved the value
of these studies, both in discipline and
in the enriching of the mind with use
full information.
Friday afternoon two hours were
spent very pleasantly in listening to
the reading of compositions by the
members of the school. Many of them
showed, not only original thought, but
skill in the clothing of their thoughts
in appropriate language.
The attendance at the "EXhibition'
held in the evening at the spacious
church, was large in spite of slumping
roads, and the hearty expressions Ol
satisfaction at the close and since, fully
attest the success of the entertainment
as also did the receipt of thirty dollar,
over expenses.
