NonsensicaI Notions About Educa-
tiOn.
r-n..n Ahn Nav Ynrk Ladaar.

From the New 1ork Ledger
The speakers at educational conven.
tions. and writer's on education, in many
cases seem to have lost their wits in
these latter days. The idea of having
children taught their lessons in good
honest fashion is one which these gentle
men seem to have lost sight OF alto
gether. What they demand is that the
" essential manhood Of the boy and
the Ideal womanhood" of the girl shall
be developed. Yea, the teachers are to
"cast aside their humdrum lessons and
search out the infinite capacities for
good or evil in the child, and stimulate
the one and exterminate the other.
On this issue we shed our ink in de-
fense of teachers-yes, and in defense
NJ the scholars also. II is asking too
much of a finite teacher to employ him
self in searching out infinite capacities.
And. in fact, how is he to search out an
infinite capacity2 And how is he to tell
AN infinite capacity when he finds it2
And, above all, what is to become OF the
poor child that has to suffer such an
Infinite ransacking2 1t would be a
miracle if the poor little creatures has
any capacity left at all alter rev months
of such treatment.
And then as to the essential man
hood of the boy aud the ideal wo-
manhood of the girl that are to be
developed, how is a teacher to hnd out
and lay hold of those elementsf Will
any lecturer on education point out the
essential manhood " in any boy, or the
Ideal womanhood in any girl, what
ever2
Such talk about education as these
people indulge in is twaddle. The busi-
ness Of a teacher is to see that mis- sehol-
ars learn their lessons and do their duty
from hour to hour. Children thus taught,
and brought up properly at home, will
be pretty sure to exhibit in later life al
the manly and womsnly qualities which
their positions in life msy demand.

The Tomb of the Author OF Fra
DIavOIO.

The Tomb Of the Author OF FRA
DiavOlO.
Paris Correspondence New York Times
After paying our annual visit to the
tombs of MN. D'Abrantes and AIRY
Scheffer where again saw the two mod
est pots of flowers placed by some tinid
hand upon the threshold, i went to see
about the tomb of Auber. A short time
ago we were shocked to hear that the
great composer was still lying in vault
belonging to an undertaken, and for
which so much per month has to be paid.
As Auber left a fortune which can be
counted by millions, every one asked
what sort Of kindred it was that he left
behind him on earth. And since the
monthly stipend has not been paid, one
asks why it is that Auber's remains are
thus left in pawn. Few, indeed, could
believe the story true. 1t was regarded
as another invention of the reporters.
But it is strictly true. The common
cross stands in circle at the end Of the
grand avenue; on the left is tomb and
recumbent figure of Godefroy Cavaignac;
opposite or the right is large tomb, on
which is craven the words, "Sepulture
proyisoire." And lower down we read:
hCaveau provisore, No 10. appartenant
M. Camuset, marbrier." j." Here, arranged
in tiers upon the shelves, are many cot
fms. You enter by an iron gate, open
on this day, and find the interior very
simple. There are twelve crowns, com
posed of pearls or of yellow immortelles,
upon the altar, upon one of which in black
letters, one reads, To my mother" on
another, ITO my son" These are the
usual cheap traditional offerings. Every
thing is simple aud cheap about the tomb
of NJ Camuset, because it is here the
people leave their dead when they do not
want them buried in common ground and
caunot pay for concession a perpetulte,
but who manage to exc out the stipend
due each month for the rent of the last
resting place of their dead At the back
is a pile of cords, shovels, bits of wood,
and other things, showing that the under
taker, Camuset, uses this as sort OF
store house for his tools. And beneath
this pile of wood and rope sleeps the
great Auber. Honorable merchants,
rich, but without fame, have castles here
for monuments. Upon them are statues,
busts, palms, marble crosses, or allegori-
cal figures, the arms of the family or the
family name, but the author of Fra
Diavolo," the Domino Noir," and other
enduring works, has not even a grave OF
his own. His name does not appear,
but above his remains, registered under
a certain member, is the name of the
great Camuset, undertaken" But this
shocking state of things is about TO be
repaired, to the shame of Auber's heirs,
be it said, by public subscription. Some
of the composers friends have already
guaranteed the sum necessary to pur-
chase monument, upon which will be
placed statue of Clesinger. | do not
know the real history of this affair, but
| am told that Auber was no sooner dead
than his heirs pounced upon his rich
estate, quarreled among themselves,
went to law, got out writ after writ, in
terdiction after interdiction, and mean
time left the composers remains in the
vault Of "Camuset, the undertaken.

A Long Branch Bride aud Her Toilette.

A bal-dress, the property Of a newly-made
wife, is formed of the finest silken tissues.
The skirt is covered by ingeniously arranged
gathered ruffles of the same, bordered by
fine edging of old Spanish blonde lace THAT,
you know, which looks like delicate web of
silk, and is just off white in color); the head
ing of the lace being wreathes of forget-me-
nots wrought by hand in coloIed flosses
round the trimmings of the dress. The waist
is high, with a deep pointed neck, and deep
waist points before and behind. Laced in
the back, the waist is partly concealed by a
long scarf, Embroidered all over with match
ing wreaths), which is worn over the shoul-
ders, and crossed on the bosom like fichu,
and whose ends tie loosely low on the short
train. The gown is said to be from Worth !;
but / think it a long way from Worth, so
much finer in taste, and so much more deli
cate as TO finish, than any have ever seen
from his hands. 1t is not known who made
this dress, or, indeed, any Of the really ele-
CANT outfit of this especial brideling. she re-
fuses to confide to the sympathetic and ex-
pectant public anything about her clothes, or
the value of her betrothal diamond, or her
ante-matrimonial affairs generally. She is
known to have been comparatively poor be-
fore her marriage to her rich and devoted
lord and, as she always seems busy with one
or another bit of needle-work, when not
reading to or walking with her spouse,
shrewdly suspect that many of her prettiest
costumes may have been not only the design
of her own brain, but the execution Of her
own fingers. The other morning she went to
breakfast in fine plaid white muslin dress,
so absolutely plain that not even Quaker
could have criticised it. The skirt was guilt
less of rufile, or tuck, or puff, a broad hem
the only finish. The polonaise, baving just
the right degree of stiffness to hang in the
softest of folds, was bordered by narrow
edging of fine cambric. A loosely knotted
barbe of blue guipnre, with tiny bunch of
| fresh rose-buds, was at the neck; and not a
| jewel or bit of gold except her wedding-ring
was to be seen. The materials for the suit,
| probably, did not cost $40; yet nine out OF
| every ten casual observers would have picked
| her out as the most elegantly-dressed woman
| in the breakfast room. There is no disput-
| ing the fact that the woman makes the
| clothes, not the clothes the woman.
