Library Directors. or whoovor may havo to do
oido upon this question, will mover consent to
pay any rental of any kind or amount for lot
which nns boon obtained for that Library, and for
no other purpose. It Is immaterlal whether tho
title to tho lot DO in tho city. for the uae Of tho
schools or for tho uso Of tho Library. But to
tux tho Library with All anual rental to pay to tho
Hchool-fund is ono Of t1oso stupid complications
roBulting from tho division Of tho doyornmont
into Donrtls.
Tho Doard Of Education makoH IN annual oa-
timato Of how much nonoy 1t moods for tho
echoola for tho current yoar ovor and above Its
ronts, and tho city leyies a tax to produce tho
sum required. Tho public pay the cost Of tho
schools, and not tho Doard Of Education. If
the stun NODDED annually DO 100000, and tho
income from ronts DO $750O0 tax ia laid to
produce s725,00o. Now, 1t tho Library DO COM
polled to pay $4,000 ront and tho ta1 for
schools be reduced to $715000 how Ia the
city relieved whon tho $4,000 to pay tho
rent has to bo raised by taxattonP
There would ho about az much sense aud pro-
priety in tho city charging itao1f rent for tho
Mayors office, Comptroller'a Office, rooms for
tho Board Of Public Works, and thcn ratBing
tho money by taxation to pay the rent to itself.
II tho city has to raao by taxation all tho money
needed for the public schools in any event, what
possible end is gained BY collecting rent Of tho
Library to pay to the schools, md then taxing
tho public to raiso tho money to pay tho rent for
tho Library? Tho school property Of ossry na-
turo aud kind belongs to tho public. To act
apart portion Of that property for tho Public
Library is to do no moro tban what oYery house,
! keopor does In the arrangement Of his own house.
The city has resolved. In addition to keeping

tho improvement instruction, and education. OF

h recent caBo trini in PariB shows that a}l tho
cruelty in the laBt Paris revolution was not
monopol;zed by tho Communicates and Pefro-
lieuses. A widow namod Millioro sued ono Capt.
Garcin for damages on tho ground that ho had
killed hor husband without orders. Tho cir
oumBtancoB Of tho cnBe woro theHo: Captain Gar
Gin was dining, and probably wining, With General
Cissoy and liB staff at q restaurant, whom somo
soldiers came along, dragging q prisoner with
them. The Captaln walked ont, recognized
MilNoro, who wns member Of tho Assembly,
and told him tlat ho should bo shot Immediately.
AIinlero was thoreupon blindfoldad, forced down
upon his knees, and murdered Ill cold blood.
Notwithstanding this esidenco which darciu
admitted to bo true, tho Civil Tribunal of Vor-
sai1loB decided that 1t had nothing to DO with
the acts Of tho army, and threw tho costs Of tue

Tho Russian female students at Zurich, who
wore recently recalled by their Government for
taking part in political agitatious, have met with
anhther rebuff at tho hands Of tho Prussian
Government. Applications having recently been
mnde BY thnm for hdmisBion into tho German
universities to finish their education, the author
ities worry ungallantly replied TINT they could aoo
no rcason why they should altor thoir whole uni
vorBity Bystom simply because tho Russian fo-
males wanted to study. They wero gracious
en9asl, .eyss7er: te Intimate that they could in
all probability find employment In tho postal,
telegraph, Or railway service. Thts however,
waa d very Hafo offor, inasmuch as ladios who
arc studying for the law and medicine will not bo
likely to nvail themselves Of such privilege.
Tho offer, nevertheless, in general sense, ehowa
that opportunities for the employment Of women
are becoming more frequent. Some Of the
German papers, and evon eomo Of the
loading men in tho German Parliament
a1e vigorously agitatiug this question
Of employment for foma1es as = mattor Of ne
cesslty, from tile fact that tho atatsticai tables
show that emigration and other causos have
| enormously Increased tho number Of unmarried
women. Although the number Of women en-
| ployed in the Imperial postai and telegraph scr
vice has boon materially iucroasod, Germany j
still far behind Switzerland, France, and Englans
| in this respect. Meanwhile the Russian ladies'
lately of Zurich, Gun find tho opportunity the
dcsiro in this country upon reasonable terms.

In this total, tho emigrants from Russia and

total OF 1,886,000 persons Of German descent
born in Europe and living In this country, in
