The CATHOLIC SCHOOL QuEsrloN.-This
question, which rises ghost-like every now
and then, was up again in the School.Board
meeting Tuesday night. We had thought
that the action Of the Council had it's quietuS
given; but it seems to be endowed with ex-
traordinary tenacity of life,
The previous history Of the case Is no
doubt familiar to our readers, and we will
not recapttulate. 1t came before the Board
again on Tuesday night, on the resolution
OF member to receive the Catholic school
into the regular school system of the city, to
be continued at the church, provided it was
practicable to do so, and not contrary 10 the
school laws. .
A majority and minority report or the re-
solution were submitted, both opposing it.
The question was discussed at length, the
meeting being protracted until nearly /
o'clock at night. Two Of the Protestant
clergy Of the city were present, and partici-
pated in the debate. The encounter of words
was, We learn, warm and lively. Finally,
the resolution, unamended, was adopted, ard
the Catholic scheme has preyailed-th is, if
the superintendent finds it practicable -
and not in conflict with the law. With him,
We believe, rests the decision.
If the plan Is carried into effect, the money
is to come from surplus 10 the hands Of the
Board which 1t was proposed to appropriate
to MISUNDERSTANDING Firginian.

Franklin stove with wisp and dust.pan,

Her wrapper had been firted into the fire.
Instantly she rolled through two doors to an

scorcb, when she tore the clothes from her
back and put them in the waSh-basin.
Pieces OF burning clothing alighted upon the
dresses of the children and burned them
through. Saying nothing, she rang the bell
and sent for her husband, who was closeted in
his Office on F street. At his return she was
found with her blistered hands in wash

if there was not fire within, to which she
replied, "Only some rags" She was found

places, the burns exhibiting the creases of
her dress. The physicians said she would
have been fatally injured in another minute.

JAMES RIVER AND kANAwHA CANAL.-The

While neither Colonel Craighill nor his
assistant engineers will give information in

to the detailed results of their summers
work it is believed that the reports will not
be upfavorable as to either the practicabilty
