A FALSE ALARN.-The whole town was aroused
on Thursday night last by the report that the
steamer from Australia was outside. and the pilot
aud the boat-bOys were considerably sold. At
about ten O'Clock, what were reasonably supposed
to be the steamers lights were seen,-green and
red, and above these a white masthead light, an
swering to the description of u "sea-going steam
ship. when under way Accordingly everybody
believed it was the City of adelaide from Sydney,
and preparations were made to bring her into port,
by placing guide lights on the buoys at the
entrance, and the pilot went of-only to find that
it was only a coaster. 1t may not be remembered,
nor generally known, that by a statute law of the
kingdom. sailing vessels under way. are required
to carry the same lights as steamships under way,
with the exception of the white masthead light /;
and our law on this subject is identical with that
of both England and France.

A NICE OT1RREL.

The democrats have quarrel among them
selves at Annapolis, Nd. One of the earliest
acts of the new governor, after his qualifca-
ton on March 4. last, was notification that
the resignation Of the then Adjutant General
would be accepted. McBlair declined to COM
ply, and Gen. Frank Bond was appointed,
and directed to take possession of the Office.
McBlair resisted, and for ten days there were
two occupants of the Adjutant's office, each
claiming authority and refusing to recognize
the pretensions or acts of the other The
Governor and officers of the State held official
communication with Bond alsng, and few
days ago he secured entire possession of the
office property, locking the doors during the
absence Of McBlair. The latter, nothing
Gaunted, has rented an apart nent near the
State house, from which he still carries on
the contest and watches an opportunity to re-
cover his old quarters by strategy. McBlair
contends that his appointment was for the
whole term of Governor Wbyte, and is not of
such character as to follow his person or be
vacated by his retirement. The difficulty is
growing into dangerous proportions. Both
contestants have many political friends.

PRESER rATIoN OF WAR RECORDS.

Senator Logan, Chairman Of the Military
Committee, is considering proposition look
to the preservation of the records of the war;
by printing those portions which are essential
to full and impartial history. At the close
Of the war, Congress directed that this work
begin, and quite mass of records were
copied and sent to the printer Before any
were put in type, for some reason not fully
understood all further steps were suspended
Twice since, the larger part of these records,
including the Confederate archives, have
been seriously endangered by fire, and as
none are 10 fire-proof rooms or buildings the
risk of their destruction is very great. Aside
from this, the custom and rules of the War
Department do not permit any inspection of
these records for other than official purposes.
Several persons DESTROYS of preparing a his
tory Of certain campaigns or battles, have
found it impossible to obtain access to the
proper official documents. This difficulty
does not arise from any desire on the part of
the authorities to conceal them, but such his
tory is distributed through reports, collections
of kilograms, orders, &C., belonging to papers
of the office and of many headquarters, and
such search as would be required cannot well
be made for individuals. Aside from the
question of the preservation of the records, it
is regarded as just that all who served in and
all who supported the war should have its real
inside history made known. At this late day
it is held that no one could be injured by such
publication except such as deserve to be,
while countless unjust things done would be

Reports from the wool and sheep crop
in the west give larger number of sheep
and about the same weight of wool as
last year. In the States Of Illinois, Indiana,

and Wisconsin, the reported number of
sheep of ali kinds in 1873, was nearly ten
millions, sixteen thousand Q0,0l1 900 j
the estimated increase over last year in
the number to be sheared, averages for
the eight States one and half per cent.
and assuming the rate of increase in the
number of all kinds to have been the same
the result is an aggregate of trihe over
1,127 900 sheep. In obtaining the proba-
bic yield of wool, the rate of three and
one-half pounds per fleece is made basis,
which places the total clip last year in the
eight States named at a little more than
Sc, SOC, 900 pounds. The estimates of our
crop reporters and correspondents indi-
cate for this year an average falling off in
the weight of fieeces of three and two
tenths per cent. Taking the slight gain
in numbers. and the loss in weight of
feeces, the result leaves probable short

amounting to little over /. $50, 900 pounds
of wool. The past winter has been gen.
orally very favorable to sheep breeding,
and while the average condition on March
Is was over one per cent. better than at
the same date last year, the increase Of
lambs has been considerably greater rs
compared with the previous winter.

The business Of life insurance has devel-

have been several brilliant examples lately.
The latest and most brilliant is that Of DIR.
Uhiing OF New York. He took a policy for
$4,000 on the life OF Miss Germs, which was
to revert to him in case of her death. Then
he reported her death and obtained permit
for her burial. Suspicious were reused as to
the manner of her death, and the body was
exhumed and found tie consist Of nineteen
bricks, done up in paper and placed on laths.
The profits Of this transaction are not likely
to be gathered, but the enterprise displayed

OUR public schools are now closed
for the season. Omaha has q very
creditable school system, but there is
still much room for improvement.
The duty Of recognizing this
system for the coming school
year, devolves upon our Board
of Education. The efficiency
of every educational institution
depends upon the qualification
and character of its Principals and
Teachers.
The public schools of Omaha are
no exception to this rule. In order
to make our schools what they
ought to be the Board must place a
competent and energetic Superin-
dent at their head. A practical
teacher possessed of superior execu-
tive ability and corresponding or
ganizing power, is imperatively de-
manded at the head of our schools.
The quality of our teachers will, Of
course depend in the main upon the
efficiency of the Board of Exam
liners. The Board should maintain
q high standardin classifying teach
ers, and the rules governing the
qualifications necessary for teaching
in any particular grade should be
ngidly enforced. In no case should
teachers who have certificates for
any particular grade or branch, be
permitted to teach pupils in higher
grades, or other branches, without
submitting to a re-examination.
Much will, however, depend upon
the qualification of the Superin-
tendent and the harmony Of action
between him and his subOrdinates.
To this matter as well as to the
branches of education that have
been or may be taught in our public
schools, We intend to recurs at an
early day.

Calling LouisN apoleon's Duke OF
