INTERESTINGLY Of the people Is all in, but the
Testimony Of the respondent is not all taken (;
yet it ,s proposed 10 publish that portion OF the
testimony taken. The complaining witness IS
che owner OF the Courier. and to assist in
manufacturing puolIc opinion to aid in sustain
ing the complaint, it Is proposed to publish the
TESTIMONY thus far taken Now this ls al
wrong The fact OF the arrest Of any man on
crim,na. charge puts him in precar1ous SIT
uation, and at great disadvantage. He has
not only the charge to meet but also has to
face pre-sormed public opinion, based many
times on the bare fact OF the complaint and the
issuing OF the warrant, backed up by all the
power OF the people in.the enforcement oil tho
law against the accused. The publication OF
the testimony taken on a preliminary examina-
ton often operates to the injury OF the re-
--epoDdent. We think the testimony should

MIR. John Mullaly, so well known
throughout tho, United States as the editor
of the Metropolitan Record and as most
eloquent speaker, delivered an address
before the Catholic Union of New Jersey
recently, on the school question. He said !:
In tho city Of New York education is
given to one hundred thousand children.
According to tue estimate az the Board of
Education, the amou nt required for the in
struction of the children auring the present
year would be four millions of dollars

ton OF each pupil, according t. this calcu.
latioR and this does not take into consid-
GRAFTON the interest that is to be paid, nor
the public school buildings which may be
erected in the city of Now York. On the
other hand, it costs only from eight to ten
dollars O year for. the education of each Ca.
tholic child in the Catholic schools of the
city of New York and there are twenty
thousand Catholic children in the church
schools of New York, and, according to that
calculation, 1t would take only one hundred
aad sixty thousand dollars year to educate
those children. Now, suppose we apply the
proportionate charge of education in the
public schools-that one hundred and sixty

OF public school education, ought to be

A Story of the CuIfsw,

has made the word curfeW familiar to every
English speakihg hoy aud gal. The word

use when William tho Norman, the frst
monarch of England of the present line,
made law that I'll fires Sou d he extin-
guIshed at the sound of the bell.
To many hearts il tho ell country, that
cherish it's traditions, the cuIfen recalls a
| story of loves dey ,tion.
In the time OF Cromwell "A youup soldier
for some offeDe", was condemned to die
and the time of his death was fixed at the
ringing of the curfew. Naturally such a
doom would be fearful and bitter to one in
the years OF hope and prime, but to this
unhappy youth death was doubly terrible,
since he was soon to have been married to
beautiful young lady whom he had long
loved. '''e
The lady, who loved him ardentlv in
return, had used her utmost efforts to avert
his fate, pleading with the judges, and
Cromwell himself, bat all in vain. In her
despair, che tried to bride the old sexton
not to ring The bell, but she found that
impossible. The preparations were COM
plotted. The officers of the law brought
forth the prisoner, and waited, while the
sun was setting, for the signal from the dis
tant bell tower.
To the wonder of every body it did not
ment knew the reason. The poor girl, half
wild at the thought of her lovers peril, had
rushed unseen up the winding stairs add
climbed the ladder into the belfry loft and
seized the tongue of the bell.
The old sexton was at his place nromnt
to the fatal moment, He threw his weight
upon the rope, and the bell, obedient to his
practiced hand, reeled and swung to and
fro in the tower. But the brave girl kent
her hold, and no sound Issued from it's
metallic lips.
Again and again the sexton drew the
rope, but the young heroine held on.
Every moment made her position more |
fearful every sway of the BELLS huge
weight threatened to fling her through the |
over window but che would not let 90. |
AT last the sexton went away. Old aud

Pasigraphy.

The idea 80 long discussed of a univer-
Sal written language seems about to be
realized, A pasigraphical dictionary has
already been Issued by Messrs. Trubner,
Munich, in which the 4 900 or 5000 COM
monest words of given language are ar
ranged alphabetically at one end, each
with its numerical equivalent. At the
other end the numbers run consecutively,
paired with the words answering to them
he same numbers express the same ideas
10 all the languages. Grammar there is
scarcely any, and what there is is expressed
In the simplest way by means of diacriti-
cal points or dots, and lines scored over,
under or through the Numerical groups.
Tins, $50, which means book in English.
hrre IN French, bueh to German, when
underscored, denotes the plural, books.
"A through scored verb is in the past tense,
an over scored one in the future, and so
forth. Elegance and exactitude are sacri-
feed to utility. They are no more aimed
at than In transmitting messages by the
doubt, mistakes are possible, and without
gumption on the part of pasigraphers, will
scarcely be avoided.

In the Committee of Thirty to-day the Constitu-

on the bill submitted by NJ. Lambert dc Sainte-

pointed three Commissioner viz: NJ. Ventavon and

After many meetings, debates. and wranglings tho
citys budget was finally passed upon yesterday. and
the names of the members Of the Board of Estimate
and Apportionment added thereto. When the meet
ing opened Messrs. Vance and Wheeler seemed de-
termined to carry their points, and, although the
heat in the Controllers office was oppressive, the
interest in the discussion scarcely tagged for mo-
ment. At one portion of the proceedings the Mayor
expressed his disgust rather vehemently, but soon
cooled down and apologized. At o'clock he yielded
to Mr. Vance and Mr.. Wheeler, and signifed his in
tention of voting for their budget. Then the Con-
troler in neat speech, gracefully yielded, as he
said in the interest of the public. The sum total of
the apportionment is $31 s2 39l TO- and as the total
valuation in the city is Sl1d029,l76. the tax-levy
for the year will DO about 81 76 on every 800.
