A few weeks since a man named
Charles Won Hoffman was mysteriously
arrested in Berlin, and, after short de-
tention, as mysteriously released, with
ont any one being able to ascertain the
cause Of bis arrest. Hoffman is now
about thirty years of age, and is said to
he the son If a glass manufacturer in
Karisbad. In early youth he was at an
English naval school, and afterward an
officer in the English army and royal
messenger. He has Travelled in France,
italy Poland, Russia and America, and
wears the decorations Of English, French,
Prussian and Swedish orders of knight
hood. He married the daughter OF the
wealthy proprietor Roseler, in Warsaw;
hut his marriage was not a happy one,
Il 1871 his wife obtained decree OF
separation. In 1870 Hoffman acquired
from Prince Radziwill the estate of
Arkadia, in the province of Warsaw;
later he became interested in railways.
While living in St. Petersburg, 1t is
stated, Hoffman was appointed Consul
General for the United States in Russia
and Poland. When arrested in Berlin
he was living in the Butcher Palace,
where he rented an entire floor fer 5000
thalers per annum. He occupied his
rooms only occasionally, but the rent
was always promptly paid. When the
police found him in his elegantly iur-
nished rooms, be had apparently only
81 so in his possession.

The Bavarian law requires boys and
girls of sixteen to go through an exami-
nation, and sends them back to school If
this test shows that their education Is
imperfect. The Prussian law Fixes the
period of schooling for boys at eight
years and for girls at seven. This long
duration of tuition is possible in Prus-
STA because the population, imbued with
the idea, dating from the Reformation,
which depended for its progress on the
power of al men to read the Bible, that
elementary instruction is an indispen-
sable provision for after life, works with
instead Of against the schoolmaster. In
Italy, on the other hand, the results oi
education are as yet but meager, chiefly
because, although education is compul-
sorry and the system Of instruction thor
ough and efficient, the habits of the peo-
pie do not permit it to retain bold
upon the young for a sufficiently long
period. In this matter much may be
done by consulting the needs Of poor
parents in the arrangement of hours.
Thus the primary schools in Prussia be-
gin work very early in the morning and
close at ten a m. during the summer, by
which means ample time is allowed for
the children to help at home.
