The PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF RICHMOND.
A correspondent of the Washington Re-
publican, in recent issue of that Jour-
nal, speaks as follows of the public schools
Of our city:
ut is true that the public school build
ings in Richmond are credit to the city
and state. 1t is also true that the people
of Richmond never neglect an opportunity
to make the most of them. Whenever
they catch sightseeing Yankee in
their streets they point to those buildings
as proof of their reconstructed habits and
the existence of their free school system.
But they can show no statistics to prove
the effectiveness of the working of that
system, or the honest use of the literary
fund designed by law for its support"
While the public schools Of this city are
substantially under the charge of our local
authorities who are opposed to us POLITICAL
ly, we think it our duty to notice the charge
therein as to ineffectivencss in mana cement
and honesty in the disposition made of the
literary fund. We personally know the
gentlemen on the board of education, and
are confident that they are earnestly labor
ing to advance the educational interests
of all classes of children in the city, and
that no misuse of the fund named would
escape their attention, or be tolerated by
them for a moment; while the superin-
tendent is as assduous in his duties, and
as earnest in his parpose to build up the
schools as any member Of the board. If
any facts can be adduced to substantiate the
charges made by this correspondent of The
Republican, we shall be prompt to inves-
tigate them, and, finding any just ground
of complaint, shall be equally prompt to
administer censure

class forces the system into preternatu-

Gated alcohol is as dangerous as to apply

Formerly raw silk was boiled in bags.
IN solution of soap, whereby it's gloss
was frequently injured. Afterwards this
process was modified by exposing the
silk to the action of steam after having
been impregnated with the Marseilles
soap. The removal of the gum from raw
silk has since then been still further
simplifed, and requires neither boiling
nor steaming. The silk, suspended upon
sticks, is moved about for a quarter
of an hour in hot bath containing a
quarter of pound of soap for every
pound of silk, and then treated in the
same way in second bath, containing
only one-ffth pound of soap for pound
of silk. Simple as this proceeding is, it
has nevertheless been found successful
in rendering the silk soft, smooth, and OF
higher gloss.
