The Governor has been annoyed by repre-
sensations To the effect that the cOlOrcd
schools have been badly managed. In order
to arrive at the truth Of the matter he has
requested Messrs. j. O. Wilson, superin-
tendent of public schools, and the following
trustees. viz: O. X. Harris, +. ID. Stuart,
\. &. Faust, +. F. French, and W. II.
Woodward, "to make an examination INTO
the present condition and management of
the colOred schools, and favor him with
report Of the impression derived therelrom."
We take the above from the Daily Ch,on-
icie of the Both ultimO. We only wish that
it had entered the mind Of the Governor to
place upon the above committee two or
three OF the race that is Immediately affected
by the good or bad management of the col
ored schools. 1t is a simple fact that mar
rowminded, illiberal, and selfish considera-
tons control the management of our schools
How far removed is the above committee
from that prejudice against our race which
feels that the most ordinary system Of edu-
cation is sufficient for us, we are unable to
say; we do know that the feeling prevails
among the white people in this community
that anything in the way of schools is good
enough for ringers" and for this reason
we would have preferred a mixed committee,
in the above examination, composed of our
ablest and most talented colored, as well as
white, men. We suggest to Governor Shep-
herd to give the educated colOrcd people a
hearing in TIL, matter OF the management
Of our schools. They are as capable OF
judging as Ii their interests as persons who
are not III full sympathy with them in feeling
and asniEations.

How Stokes Takes His Sentence.

A special telegram from New York,
dated Thursday, tells how Stokes, the
murderer of James Fisk, received his
sentence
Edward S. Stokes arrived at the
Tombs little after IL o'clock, last
night, and Immediately went to bed and
slept soundly This morning he ate a
hearty breakfast, and read the morn
ing papers. AS soon as the prison doors
were opened, he received call from
his counsel, Mr.. Dos Passos, who con-
graduated him upon his light sentence.
Stokes thanked the lawyer, but seemed
to think that he should have been ac-
Quilted. About 10 o'clock the pris
oner's father called, and had long in
terview with him. Shortly after Stokes
father had left him, the writer was ad-
mitted to the corridor. The prisoner
is in the condemned cell, on the ground
floor, and just under the one occupied
bv Scannell. He was surrounded by a
group of handsomely dressed ladies, who
were condoling with him upon the harsh
ness of his sentence. Stokes received
the homage of his fair admirers with
the air of a martyr. He was dressed,
as usual, in short, double buttoned
coat, and looked moody and dissatis-
fed, presenting in every way a marked
contrast to the overjoyed man who, of
few weeks ago, received word that ne
had been granted new trial. During
short conversation which was had
with him, he expressed himself as very
much dissatisfied with the result OF the
trial He believes that he should have
been acquitted. When asked how he
was feeling this morning, he replied
"Oh, about as we'll as man can feel
who sees the State Prison before him"
"Did you expect better result9"
"Of course [ did. Any one who
heard the evidence must have done so.
But suppose I must be satisfied"
The feeling generally in prison is
that Stokes has been very fortunate,
and surprise is expressed at the man
ner in which he received the verdict.
One of the keepers said he had never
seen Stokes so gloomy as he had been
since the end of the trial.
EDO you really think, then, that he
believed be would be acquitted?"
eyes, he replied, g he finally be-
ieved it. Why, this morning when I
congratulated HIM upon the result and
said I supposed he was very much
pleased, he replied: PLEASED What
should I be pleased at? Getting four
years Tor an act for which [ should
have been condemned, for which, by
God, should have received testi-
monial !"

JEFFERoON'S POVERTY.
How Monticello was Saved from the
Sheriff's Hammer.
From the Atlantic Monthly

Mr.. Jefferson's affairs did not mend,
though ne en- Dyed the able and reso-
lutte assistance of his grandson and
namesake, Thomas Jefferson Ran
dolph; and he resolved, at length, to
discharge the worst Of his debts, in the
fashion of old Virginia, by selling a
portion of his lands. But there was
nobody to buy. Land sold in the
usual way would not bring a third of
it's value; and consequently he petit
toned the Legislature to relax the
operation of the law so far
as to allow him to dispose of
some of his farms by lottery,
as was frequently done when money
was to be raised for public object.
The Legislature granted his request,
though with reluctance. But, in the
meantime, it had been noised abroad,
all over the Union, that the author Of
the Declaration of Independence was
about to lose that far famed
Monticello, with which his name
had been associated in the pub
lie mind for two generations, the
abode Of prime and the refuge Of his
old age, Mecca to the Republicans
of many lands. A feeling arose in all
liberal minds that this must not be

Home, Mayor of New York, raised

cords, 49, 500; Philadelphia sent $5,-
900 and Baltimore $1,000 The lottery
was suspended, and Mr.. Jefferson's last
days were solaced by the belief that
the subscriptions would suffice to free
his estate from debt, and secure home
and independence to his daughter and
her children. He was proud Of the
liberality of his countrymen, and proud
to be it's object. He who had refused
to accept so much as a loan from the
Legislature of his State, glorifed in

A TRIBE Silver Wedding.

Mansfield, O., (Oct. Soy, Correspondence OF the
Cincinnati Commercial.
An extraordinary silver wedding was
celebrated this week at the residence
of Mr.. E. d. Lindsey, of this city.
The reunion was one of more than or
binary interest, for various reasons.
The parties thus celebrating the TWEEN
ty-fifth anniversary Of their marriage
were Mr.. and Mrs. E. d. Lindsey, of
this city; Mr.. and Mrs. Ohio Willet, Of
Bryan, Ohio, and Mr.. and Mrs. James
Ravens, of Urbana, Ohio
They were married at as nearly the
same moment as possible, at Marion,
Ohio, and together made their wedding
tour, accompanied by their various
bridal attendants, making a large
party Upon their return they sepa-
rated, with the mutual understanding
that if all were living at the expiration
of twenty five years they would cele-
brate their silver wedding together.
There was tinge Of sadness in this
arrangement, for it was but reasonable
to suppose that the lapse of two and a
half decades would bring serious
changes to some of the number, at
least, of so large party. AS the years
rolled on, and each trod separate life
path, the friends lost sight of each 9TH
er; but the promised reunion was not
forgotten. Then rose the query in the
minds of each one, Were the other
parties still living? A thorough search
was made, and the result was this triple
silver wedding. Their bridal attend
ants, as we'll as the officiating minis
tiers, are strange to say, all living, but
were too widely scattered to be gather
ed together again.
A large company was assembled at
the residence of Mr.. Lindsey to witness
the reunion of these long severed
friends.
During the evening we learned that
each couple had the same number Of
children, and but one girl in the whole
number.
After refreshments had been served,
one of the "brides y read brief but
appropriate address. in which she
thanked God for the extraordinary
privilege Of such reunion, and closed
by extending the invitation to Mr.. and
Mrs. Ravens to meet the entire party
at the celebration of their golden we'd
ding at their reside nee twenty-five
years hence.

Hari !

A truanJ child o'ertaken by the dark.
In sad beWiderment where two WAYS meet
White robes or morning draggled and her
feet
Beclogged with mre; and many bleedin
mark
OF awkward reach through briars, bristline
stark,
For flowers, or berries which she dares not
eat,
But clutches still scared at her own hearts
beat,
And crying to the lonesome sky. When bark
A voice and from the frightened heart a
voice
Responsive. thrilling up through cloud and
night!
My child - ''Oh, father, take me to the
light !"
Her apron emptied now from blessed
choice!
Snch, Lord, was l, when, through the dark
Thy call
Made empty all my heart for Thee, my All.

Caleb and Ruth.

CdIcD duu MULE
Uncle Caleb and Ruth, his wife,
Caring little for outside weather,
Fifty years Of their welded life
Spent in this tiny cottage together.
Messy the roof and gray tie wall,
Narrow the window, low the door
But loves own sunlight hallowed it all,
From RATED ceiling to sanded floor.
Silent the day but silver sweet
Voices of children long ago.
Keeping time to their restless feet,
Followed the mother to and fro.
Scattered afar from East to West,
Seeking their fortune far and wide,
No one stays in the Old,n nest
Where such beautiful memories hide.
Stranger feet on the time-worn stair
Wake the echoes of other days
Stranger voices are lifted where
Caleb once &C turned the tune of praise.
Caring naught for the desolate pain
Of ae wind in the pine-tree tops,
Caring naught for the grieving rain
That SO sadly over them drops F.;
Needing as little the sunbeam's kiss,
Falling sweet from the summer sky,
In narrower house than this
Caleb and Ruth together lie.
Up where the many mansions wait
Is there, I wonder, cottage small
Not too stately its pearly gate,
Not too shining it's golden wall,-
Where these two may in peace abide?
Heaven where none Of these must part
Caleb away from her gentle side,
Ruth afar from his faithful heart
Hand in hand from morning to night
Travelled these two the long earth day.
Surely they walk through the field of light
Hand in hand on the shining way.
Blessed love OF husband and wife,
Love that lasted through cares and fears
Filling this place with the chrism of life,
Peace unclouded for fifty years.
