The Barracks Street school.

1he closing exercises of the Barracks
Street School were held yesterday at the
schoolhouse, under the supervision of the
principal, Miss Cooper, and her able assist
ants, Miss McCarty. Miss Hebert, Mrs.
Dane, Madame Malliot, Mrs. Dearnford
and Miss Grant
The schoolroom was beautifully deco
by the scholars, in vases, wreaths and bo-
quets. Over the platform were raised four
arches of flowers, and under them the
young performers displayed their varied
accomplishments.
The school is composed of 450 scholars
divided into seven classes of different
grades, and the various exercises showed a
reasonable proficiency in all Of them and
were creditable commentaries on the eff.
cheney of Miss Cooper and her associates.
An original piece, ''The Bunch Of Violets,''
"The Busy Bee, Clock and B room," and an
address by Miss Julia Androni, only six
years old, were worthy Of note.
The most pleasing feature of the exhibi-
tion was the proficiency in music which
these young ladies have acquired under the
careful teaching of Miss Theresa Cannon,
who presided at the piano. This lady is
one Of the most accompl ished artistes in
city, and the school is fort unate in having
secured her services. Tho cantata, 1.-THE
Flower Queen" an operate allegory, in
which eleven young ladies representing
flowers contended for the crown before a
1ecluse, we'll represented by Miss Alice
Hawthorn, was excellently rendered. Miss
Millspaugh as the Rose obtained the ver-
dict, but Miss Mazzuri was as perfect Lily
as ever was seen. Misses Maillot and Orfila
also received much praise. A French chorus
from LA Grande Duchesse' was beauti-
fully sung. Sixteen pretty young ladies
then Represented the seasons and the
months, each with pretty ribbon sash and
golden letters naming her character. and
four Birds of Beauty" strengthened by a
small army of invincible little ones as
Heather Bells
These beautiful musical exercises were
the result of the genius and care OF Miss
Cannon, the music teacher of this school.
Besides the parents of the children and
their friends, who filed the room, there
we're present of the schoo authorities Mr..
McCarty, Of the Board of Directors, Mr.. b.
F. Joubert, Superintendent Boothby and
Assistant Superintendent C alhoun. At the
close of the exercises Mr.. Boothby bade
the pupils good-by in one of his pleasant
little addresses, and. with the other guests,
departed loaded with floral gifts of the
pleased young ladies'. The acknowledge
ments of the REPUBLICAN representative
are due to Miss Reggie, who appeared as
August" for tender of beautiful bas
ket Of flowers and fruits, which were as
tastefuly arranged as her costume.

Hyacinthe and the Pope.

An interesting letter from Geneva, in the
Debots, speaks of very successful lecture
delivered by Pere Hyacinthe on Sunday
evening last, the clearest and most cour-
ageous, it says, he ever gave and in which
he sets forth his religious programme. The
following passage is characteristic of the
man. You must know that he has adver-
saries in Geneva, not only the Ultramon-
tanes, but certain ,jovial fellows who style
themselves Freethinkers, and who would
better deserve that name if they ever
thought at all, and if they respected the
freedom of others. Now Pere Hyacinthe
having lately been at Rome, a facetious
critic spreads the report that he had gone
thither to be reconciled with Plus TX. On
Sunday the orator, when repelling that
calumny, said: "With willing heart he
would be reconciled with the Pontiff, but
upon two conditions: First. that the Holy
Father should consent to renounce his per.
sonal intallibility; and, secondly" eaid
Father Hyacinthe, "that he should consent
to bless the cradle Of my chlld!'

government for judicial reform in Egypt.
because England is deeply interested in un-
interrupted navigation in the Suez canal.
Mr.. Bourke, under foreign secretary, stated
that the chief obstacle to such reform was
France, who besitated to abandon the
position she had acquired in Egypt. If she
persisted in her refusal to conform with the
views of other powers, the only course
which remained for them would be to act
without her.
The opponents Of the public worship
regulation bill which passed the House OF
Lords last night declare it is useless and
dangerous, affects questions of doctrine un-
favorably, attacks ritualists unfairly and
jeopardizes the union of the Church and
State.
The Marquis of Salisbury and other To-
it is understood will appeal to the House of
Commons to reject it. The bill reorganizes
the present cumbersome ecclesiastical
courts 80 as to enable them to take speedy
cognizance of new ceremonies.

The Enemies of the Press.

Speaking of the members of the Senate
who passed through that body the notorious
press gag-law Forney's Chronicle says:
We hope that the press OF the country
will pass these names around, and remind
their constituents of these Senators of this
interesting piece of legislation. Men who
shrink from the criticism of the press are no
ft agents of the people, and the sooner they
appreciate this the better for the safety Of
their liberties. There are many names
among the supporters of this bill that We
regret to see, and more especially of such
men as Senators Morton, Ferry, of Michi-
gan, both the Morrills, Window, Ramsey
and Hamlin; the balance could not help it,
