IL at the end OF the year he knows as much
us at the commencement. Children must
be sent TO the school-room and kept there
long enough to have some impression
made on their minds, else there will be a
failure, no matter what qualifications the
teacher may possess. The large number Of
absences in the schools would seem to be
reason enough tor almost any want of i'm
provement in them; yet in spite of these
drawbacks they have improved, and II on
ly shows how much more might be accom-
plished with a more constant attendance.
Parents should strive TO help the teachers
of their schools and try to arouse that pride
in the pupils which tends towards punctu-
atty. A comparatively poor teacher, well
seconded will succeed, while the best, If
hampered, If they do not fail, will at any
rate fall far short of their standard of sue

A visit to the new green house of Mr..
G. T.. Allen, on Canal street, will we'll re-
pay one at this season of the year. There
are to be seen about 1000 varieties of plants
under cultivation. many of which are now
in bloom, and the effect of such spectacle
upon snow-blinded eyes Is beneficial in the
extreme. Commencing the erection of his
propagating houses in 1870, Mr. Allen has
steadily progressed in business until he is
now prepared to fill orders from home or
abroad for any of the choice varieties of
towering or vegetable plants, shrubs or
trees. The new green house, begun last

considerable excitement has prevailed

threatened wholesale prosecution of the
rumsellers, but there seems to be Glitch"

motion is subsiding and society is resum-

rum spasms have become chronic, but they
are considered harmless. Public meetings
have been held, resolutions passed, COM
mittees appointed, proclamations signed
by multitudes of citizens have been issued,
veteran temperance lawyers employed to

George w. Curtis, the retiring president
of the civil service board, has been "inter-
viewed" by a New York reporter, and
makes some interesting statements in re-
gard to the causes of his resignation and
the future prospects of the service reform.
He says: "Some of the journals seemed
to take it for granted that my letter of res
ignation was intended to reflect upon the
President. The fact is that the Presidents
views of the character and requirements of
the reform differed from my own. Had I
questioned his sincerity in this matter 1
should certainly NOS have assured him Of
the continuance of my support" The re-
form thus far, he thinks, has by no means
proved failure. Political pressure has in
some instances proved too strong for the
President, but the reform, must and will
eventually succeed, despite the influences
which now oppose it.

The wave of temperance reform is roll
ing over the south and west with a force
and fury that is somewhat astonishing even
to old stagers of the most sanguine temper

Mississippi, though it has passed license
law, has affixed damage clause similar to
that of Illinois. A bill has passed the Ar
kansas Senate, making liquor dealers re-
sponsble in damages for any one who may
be made drunk from liquors purchased
from them. Even in Texas committee OF
the legislature has reported favorably upon
the adoption of bill similar to the Ohio
law, and indications are favorable for its
passage.

The assassination of Gen. Candy and
his companions by the Modocs, on the oc-
casion of pretended conference for peace,
will be likely to result in the entire exter-
mination of the treacherous warriors. Gen.
Sherman teegraphs TO Gen. Gllem "You
will be perfectly justified in their utter ex-
termination !" and the common feeling Is
that their punishment should be severe.
The feeling of revenge, however, should be
tempered by the humiliating fact that the
present conflict was instigated by white
men as debased as the Indians themselves.
II is but the old story repeated.

The queen murderess of the age is now
undergoing in Durham, England. Dur.
ing the last twelve years she has poisoned
as many as thirty persons, including three
husbands, her mother, and all of her chill
dren and those belonging to her husbands
by previous marriages. Her plan was to
get an insurance of from 1916 to $50 on the
life of each victim and then to dispose of
him or her by repeated doses of slow poi
son. This monster is said to be handsome
and prepossessing, having pleasing face
illuminated with fine black eyes. She APP
peared in court with her two-months old
child at her breast-born in prison-and
the only one of her offspring that has been
spared by this most unnatural mother.
There is said to be no doubt of her guilt
and of her speedy conviction.
