Col. FOrmey on English Hotels and
nesIaMrimts CharIes Ieendc.

In a recent letter to the Philadelphia Press,
dated at London, Col. Foney thus speaks Of the
English hotels and restaurants:
/ have often said that the English in tho ho-
tells do not live az well AZ we do and have yet
to meet an English restaurant equal to Angus
TINS in Philadelphia, or Delmonico's in New
York; and no establishment like that of the
Continental and the CoiOnade in the first, or the
Brevoort House on Fifth Avenue, or Windsor in
the second. But i'll such houses as have allud-
ed to, in their rural or suburban, or London
homes, they rival our best The best cooks, the
best wines, attendants trained by long service
their dinners are, to say the least, ,unapprOaclahe
They generally breakfast about A. NJ, lunch at
l p. NJ, and dine at p. NJ. the last often ex-
tending long into the night, winding up with bill
lizards and cigars. They do not drink champagne
freely, as with III it comes on after the lighter
wines, and il never oycr-iced, except for their
American guests You soon fall into the habit
of your hosts. An English gentleman seldom
drinks before dinner, but he never failsito do
Justice to his appetite when he gets his legs uii-
der the mahogany.

Shall the Teachers whip ,

The mooted question whether corporal pun
ishment shall be administered in the schools is
up, once more, and the Board of Education in
brief discussion, last evening, gave indication
that large number of its members, if not
majority, were strongly in favor of forbdding it
altogether. The sentiments expressed in the
course of the dabate, bya number of gentlemen
proves the progress we are making, and shows
that, in spite of all discouraging appearances to
the contrary, the principles of humanity and phi
lanthropy are being engthened amongst us.
The Law of Love has many advocates in the
Board.
The question: however, whether to abolish tile
rattan, entirely, il pure matter of Judgment.
Excessive whipping is, Of course, disapproved OF
by ALL hut whether moderate punishment of
that sort may not be of value, in some cases, it

the discretion of the teachers, and experience
proves that they are extremely careful in til,
use of the rod. In period of years, the case
brought to the notice of the Board in which I'M
due severity had been shown, havo been yer
rare.

scnurz ON the oiv,I Rights n,n.

In his speech at st. Louis, last week, Senator
Schurz dwelt with severity upon some of the
features of the proposed and defeated Civil
Rights Bill, and especially upon the school sec
ton. He said
''If the bill becomes law it will break up the
whole public school system of the southern
states, and nobody will be greater sufferers
thereby than the colored people. 1t il well
known fact that in the states containing tue bulk
of the coOred populations there existed wide
spread aud powerful prejudice against the i'll
PRODUCTION of a system of common schools to be
supported at the public expense. We know some
thing of that even in Missouri. 1t II equally
we'll known that large majority of the white
people of those states, even large majority OF
those who arc sincerely anxious to secure to the
colored children the largest possible advantage
of education in separate establishments, still
are very strongly-nay violenty-oppoaed to
any law which, like the civil rights bill, would
force the admission of colored children with
white in the same school rooms.
"Ihat opposition exists, and we have to deal
with it as fact. Try to enforce under such cir
cumstances system of mixed schools, and this
will be the result the old prejudice against the
system of public instruction to be supported by
taxation, as it still exists i'll the States in qucs
ton, will ut once find itself powerfully rein
forced, and to an attack 30 strengthened against
| a defence in the same measure weakened 1t is
most probable that systems of education abori-
| ously built up will succumb. There il scarcely
greater misfortune conceivable that could be-
| fall these communities. But what would espe-
cially tho colored people have gained Now
| they have at least their separate schools at the
| public expense ~ part OF the general system
Destroy that system and they will have no mixed
schools, while their separate, schools will perisl
also Would the law then benefit the coloret
race at all A colored man might then indeed
enforce his rights to ride all over the country il
pullman palace car, to board at rst-class ho
tel-, and sit IN the dress circle of theatre, bu
such things can he enjoyed under any circum
stances only by a very small number of the
Wealthier people among them and these plea
snres and conveniences of their few men o
means wonldho purchased at dreadful price
Interruptions of the public school system-ad
vantages of which they now enjoy in separate
establishments would deprive the children o
+ tho poor Of athing which is asncecessaiy to then
as their daily aread.'

A CONGRESSMAN WHO WILL NOT SPEAK

At the Kent county Democratic Convention,
last week, Messrs Cochran and Williams were
both present, but neither spoke 1t appears from
the official account of the affair, furnished in |
the Delaparedn, that they were introduced to |
the meeting and were received with great ap- |
plause," but it does not report them as saying |
single word. This fairly confirms what we have |
heretofore remarked concerning Mr. Williams
that he is not only not debater, but that he
cannot address public assembly, at all, and in
Congress would simply be silent man, casting
his one Demo, ratio vote according to the lead
given him by members of his party whose names
stand earlier in the alphabet. We do not I'M
pute this to him as derogatory of other abilities
which he may possess, and VIC admit that we
prefer silent man to babber, but it must still
be said that member OF Congress who il no
speaker at all lacks an important qualification
for the place he holds, and can never rise to
high plane of usefulness in that body. Caesar
A. Rodney, one of the earliest Representatives
whom Delaware sent to the National House was a
fluent, elegant, and eloquent speaker, and from
his time to the present the State has very rare
ly, if ever, gent "A member who could not at least
join in a debate, when occasion required OF
those elected in later years, such men as Judge
Houston, Mr.. Whteley, Mr.. Smithers, and Mr.
Nicholson, were ready and effective in address,
ing the House, commanding attention, and en-
forcing the view which they took with ability, as
well as raising to ts best capablity the influence
of a small State amongst 20 many larger ones.
We will not oven omit from the list of speaking
members Mr.. Bggs, whose style and matter sell
dom have deserved onr praise, but whose readi-
ness in debate, and the plausibility aud vigor
with which he employed partisan arguments at
least gave him prominence in the House.
1t is fair for the people of Delaware to judge
between Mr.. Williams and his Republican com
pettor, Major Lohand, whether man who con.
fessedly is no speaker at all, who does not even
respond with few words of acknowledgment tc
the applause of meeting of the people before
whom he is a candidate, is 20 we'll fitted to rep.
resent the State in Congress, as one who is a
speaker by profession, and entirely able to enter
debate when the occasion requires Mr.. Will
lams' abilities may fit him for Governor, but
give him no position candidate for Con-
greas.

A motner,s Holy Love.

The excitement that existed in Philadelphia
concerning the case OF the kidnapped Child ex-
tended to all classes, and every mother in the
city was SO wrought up upon the subject that
she could hardly be induced to permit her chill
dren to go out Of her sight Gillespie lives on
Tenth street. in the same row with Mrs. Magin-
mis-. He moved in few days ago, and Mrs. Ma
ginnis had not had an opportunity to become ac-
quainted with him. He is very near-sighted,
and when he came home the other afternoon he
thought he saw his boy playing in the gutter,
and he approached the youngster with the intent
TO pick him up and carry him into the house.
The fact, however, was that it was Mrs. Magin-
mis- boy, and that estimable woman was watch
ing him with one eye, while the other one rested
upon the second story window, which she was
washing.
When she saw Gillespie seize the child she
knew at once that the kidnapper had come, and
as Gillespie walked of with the booty under his
arm, red-haired woman, in u condition of fran
tic excitement, might have been seen shooting
down stairs and through the front door with the
velocity of light. Gillespie discovered his mis-
take just as he caught sight of the infuriated
Maginnis approaching him, and apprehending
trouble, dropped the child and ran. Blythe time
they had gone around the block twice, Gillespie
had not only Maginnis and six policemen at
his heels, but l 800 other people and half hum
dred dogs AT last he darted up an alley and
endeayored to jump over his back fence, but
just as he reached thetop the ayenging Maginnis
arrived and caught him by the legs, and before
he could explain himself the policemen had
hammered him considerably, and four OF the
dogs had bitten chops out of his legs. He is in
bed yet, and will probably not be around again
until the bumps on his head subside and the dog
bites heal When he does get out again he will
wear glasses. Adeler.
