Why the Havrc dc Grace teachers should get
more Than other teachers is n mystery
Ifdurinm the last year they goi 50 900 for thron
terms and 4 half, their average salaries were
larger than any other teachers in the county
If they received -, 800 last year, their average
salaries were quite double any other teachers
Now, why first grade should in one locality get
twice as much US first grade in another locality
of the same county, does seem mysterious. If
there is scale ofprices arranged not according

NJ. Trowbridge. The first chapters Of his story
appear in this holiday number of 81. Nicholas,
which shows great increase in size while the
guilty of Its contents is superior to that of the
earlier numbers, and that is saying great deal.
1t is usually rich in stories. There is a New
York Christmas story, called "Pete," which is
most admirably told. Then there is German
Christmas story, by Mary Lockwood, and fairy
Christmas story, "The Elves Gift" by Arthur
Crosby. Among the other stories is "The Boy
who Worked" by Roswell Smith, one Of the
Publishers, in which the career is shown of
poor boy who worked his way up be to gentle
man: "A Garrett Adventure" a bright story,
and "The Story Of the jolly Harper Man," illus
tratcd by six jolly pictures by Stephens. Be-
sides all these, there are no less than three ser
ais now running in 81. Nicholas. "What Might
Have Been Expected" by Frank X. Stockton, a
story for boys, which was commenced in the first
number, and which continues this month, be-
sides watery adventure, description Of Il dcci-
dedly curious Christmas tree. Then there is the
first installment of serial for girls, "NimpU's
Troubles" by Olive Thorne, SO welt knownas Il
writer for young folks. And thea comes Trow-
BRIDGES East Friends" which opens with some
exceedingly real character-picturrs of country
life in the Northern States, and has besides,
some lively stories of boys adventures Oh canal

DETECTIVES ABoUT-Last Friday several
detectives, said to be from Philadelphia, were
in Bel Air, in search Of a young man named
Jacob B. Walton, who, it is alleged, stole
several hundred dollars from relative in
that city. Walton was at one time in the
employ of Mr. William Anderson, for whom
he carried the mail between this place and

POPULAR SCIENCE MoNTHLY.-The Janu-
airy number of this admirable scientific jour
nal is one of the best that has ever been
issued, and we can commend it to all who
take an interest in scientific pursuits or who
desire to keep up with the march of science
A most interesting article it contains is by
Camille Flammarion, in which n diagram is
given of the appearance that will be presented
by the well.known constellation Ursa Major,
or Charles Vain, one hundred thousand
years hence, if the universe should endure so
long, and there should be human eyes to be-
hold it. This change will be the result, the
writer AYERS, of the procession ofthe equinox
es, and when that time comes the Polar Star
will be no longer the guiding star of the mar
liner, but will have totally changed its posi-
ton with reference to the EARTH The article
is curious and suggestive, demonstrating, as
it does, that those things in the material uni
verse that we deem fixed and unchanging,
are subject to a constant law of progression;
and the thought comes to the rejecting mind
that in the whole universe, the Creator alone
is unchanging.

4 Pleasant Surprise.
DIN VI. COOLEY,
Darlington.

On Friday last our most esteemed and eillcen
minister, Rev. b. F. Clarkson, received sur.
prise visit from his friends of Bel Air, Thomas
Run, Darlington and Franklin. Those kind
friends came loaded with a profusion of good
things. They filled the Rev. gentlcman's bins
with oats and corn, and his lardcr with beef,
pork sausage, groceries and other good things.
The meeting was social, conyivial, friendly and
entertaining. Mr.. Clarison richly deserves this
wcll-mcrted tribute of respect from his friends,
for since his sojourn amongst us, he has been
laborng ndefatigably in the vineyard of the
Lord. His preaching is chastc, eloquent and re-
work ofhis Immaculate, Divine Master He is
hightoned, social gentleman, and everybody
that has had the good fortune to make his ac .
quaint0nce esteCms him. We regret when we
think that the next Conference may send our IA
voritc minister to some other field of action
but go where he may, he will be followed by the
kind wishes of his numerous friends of Hartford,
for his continued welfare. MARS

The School COMMISSIONERS ANNUAL
STATEMENr.-Thc annual statement of the
board Of school commissioners of the county
W hich is now being published, will be read
W it'll interest. Although, perhaps, not so
clear and explicit in regard to certain eXpen.
diiures as it might have been, yet we believe
that the affairs of the Board have, in the year
past, been more judiciously managed than ever
before. In one point, especially, most fnyors-
BILE contrast is shown with preceding rrponEE
and that is in the amount expended for books
and stationery. In 1871 the amount expended
for these was $5,3G319. In 1872 il was So
1896; while the past year il was only ST..
84S01. This decreased expenditure was
brought about by the gradual introduction of
II different system of text books, and q change
in the contractors from whom they were pur-
chased
We are glad to note this evidence of prac-
teal wisdom on the part Of the board and
hope that economy may continue to be the
rule, in every department Of expenditure
connected with the schools. In the matter of
teachers salaries however, an increase
would not be amiss. Their duties are of u
high and responsible character, ard their
salaries should be commensurate herewith.
The best way to increase the efficiency of the
teachers is to pay them good salaries. They
will then take more pride and pleasure in
their work, and the result will be the more
thorough education ofthc children entrusted
TO their care.

A New Phase of the Virginius Affair,

The steamer Virginius and the survi-
vors Of the cruel butchery that took place
last November, have been delivered to the
United States authorities in accordance
with the terms Of the treaty between Spain
and the United States. Now the Attorney
General of the United States, on the strength
Of evidence furnished by the Spanish govern.
ment, has decided that the Virginius. at the
time of her capture, was not registered accor-
ding to law, and therefore had no right to
carry the American flag. But whilst declar-
ing that the register obtained by her quasi
I owner, one Patterson, "was fraud on the
( navigation laws of the United States" he
holds that Spain has no jurisdiction what
Sever over the question: nor any right to cap
#ure vessel on the high seas, even though
sshe may be improperly under the American
Ng'-such illegal use of the flag being a
tier ofwhich the United States alone could

Attorney General, it is reported that
Spain has decided to make demand upon
aR',e United States for the return of the Virgin

Sivered up, with the intention, doubtless, of
Treating them as pirates.
