AMONG THE SCHOOLS.

Supervision Of the schools is a matter
of the greatest importance. We have
Just returned from an extensive tour
among The schools Of the 2nd, 4th,. 9TH,
and Sth school districts. Some Of the
schools are preparing to close few have
already closed. The people in the main
are ready and willing to do their part
In act,there is general anxiety to improve
the condition of the district school bous-
es. In some districts the schools have
not given entire satisfaction, owing to the
uncomfortable condition of the school
house. 1t is impossible to teach school
successfully in o school house that is open
lcaky, dirty, dark, damp and uncomfor>
table in every sense. We find q few
school houses Of this description, but the
number is rapidly growing less. .+
How long will the people contiuu, to
waste their money in such school houses?
We find that the patrons often do not
know the condition of the house to which
they send their children. When their
attention has bccn called to the matter
they seem to be surprised. The truth is,
tire school house Las been sadly neglec>
ted. If the supervision of the schools be
instrumental in waking up the people on
this subject, great good will be accom-
plished. 1t will be worth thousands Of
dollars to the country. Ask the common
people their opinion. Shall we have bet
ter school houses? Shall we maintain
the school system? The questions con-
tain the answer. ~

TRENTON ITEMS.

The News of last week furnishes
these items:
We are sorry to learn that Mr.. John
Fitzgerald'smill was burned last night.
1t had only been few days since Mr..
Fitzgerald's hand was cut off by his
mill. This illustrates that troubles
never come singly.
Geo. a. Matthews left here last
week for Gallatin to see his sister,
who was thought to be dying, and we
learn that she had died before he reach
ed his destination. This is a sad be-
reaved family, for it Is only as it were
Yesterday that he followed his sister,
Yrs. .Senter, to her grave. Thus one
by one the roses. depart; who will lie
next We know not.
We understand that all Of our fam
lily groceries are going to quit keeping
whisky; most of them have done SO.
The t'Nyomen's perambulating prayer
meeting did not scare them out, for
We have not got so low as to have such
a thing yet. Our grocery men quit
from sense of duty and profit, for
there is more whisky drank as sample
than they can sell.
The impression has gone abroad
that the school tax in this county has
been defeated. 1t was only deferred
until the'April term, and the prospect
was never better for another tax 10 be
levied. for school purposes. In several
districts the vote has been taken by
the people and it has been uniformly
carried by a large majority. The peo-
pie are satisfied, even those who OPP
pose public schools, if no tax is levied
by the epurt il will be a death blow
to all schools, either private or public;
that the tax levied by the State Is
not sufficient to keep them alive two
and just enough to prevent
any private school from taking their
places. We now have more schools
and better schools than we ever had,
and everyone knows this, and it would
be doing the country injustice for the
justices, to take retrogradc step.
They will not do it, but on the contra
ry there will be large majority in
favor Of another tax. At the next
court they viii be united on the
amount TO levy; this was not the case
at the January term, and hence the
delay.

OzF Cft5 Prison Bsrucd-Narrow e.
cape or Two Men.

Last Friday John Galbraith and
"Dennison were arrested for drunk
enness and disorderly conduct and
carried before his honor, Mayor Jor-
dan, for trial. Galbraith was fined
and remsnded to the calaboose until
he could find bail. Dennison was
very violent and noisy while in the
court room and was sent to the lock-
up for contempt. Between eight and
nine o'clock p. m, flames were seen is
suing from the prison and screams
were heard within. The alarm was
raised and efforts made TO break open
the doors, without avail. Just as the
prisoners were almost sufocated with
the smoke, Mr.. Mcdonald, city
marshal, made his appearance and re-
leased them.
From what We can gather, they set
fire to the building, expecting to burn
a hole through the wall, 50 they could
make their escape. Galbraith says
Dennison did the work, and he tried
to extinguish the fire, but failed.
Turpentine was poured on the wall
and match touched to it.
Saturday they had triad before
ESQ. Dickinson, on the charge of ar
son, and remanded for trial at the
Circuit Court in a bond of 81 200
each. Galbraith gave bond and Den-
nison went to prison.

Much is said in cur days about po-
likeness. Parents try to instil into
their children the Importance of be-
ing polite. Teachers try to inspire
their pupils with desire to behave
well. In all plans of instruction it
seems to be thought of paramount inn
p0rtance. There is much artistic per-
formance on the part of Indies and
gentlemen who would be called polite;
but the politeaess Is too often merely
the form, the beautiful outside, the
delectable and pleasing havors of gen
crosby and refinement 1t is because
manners are so often external, the
veneer and varni>h, the bright glitter
ing gold, the rind, the exterior which
cloaks that which is coarse, bad and
dissipated that so many good people
object to politeness, and watch with
suspicion whoever shows good breed
ing.
l disdain pretenders; we have no
love for polish that IS used as a substi-
tute for principle; want the real,
not the delightful ostensible. / pre-
fer thousand times ever little rough
ness, plainness and awkwardneSs of
depOrtment-a manner that has the
hearty and hardy elements of ma
ture" in and behind ito any of the
extra airs and snowy graces which
seem Indispensable in our best society.
There is true and false politcness, and
their difference is as the real features
and flesh of the face to mask.
So, dispense with afectation. Make
man affable, generous, intelligent, no.
bic and philanthropie, and his actions
will naturally tend to true politeness.
Having these qualifications, it needs
but an effort to express them in the
simplect, noblest and most natural
manner to acquire true politeness.
IT'S not the flirest form that holds
The mldest. purest soul within;
IT'S not the richest plant that folds
The sweetcS, breath Of fragrance in.
