The Philadelphia Star inquiries: why is it
that in nearly all large cities school teachers
are the last persons paid by the municipal au-
thorities? Here in Philadelphia the complaint
has been a chronic one" 1t is quite evident
that Philadelphia and the other large cities
need to be Congressionally investigated. But it
Is odd that the independent" lIbelers of Wash
ington have not q word to say about the unpaid
teachers In all the large cities of the country.

Spain Is trying to please the Hayanese with a
charge in the Cspsain-G enerslship, and the
sanguinary Concha goes out to replace the
milder Jovellar. The patriots NAV expect no
mercy from COncha, whose former rule for
many years was noted for its tyranny and
avariee. But he is now "a years old, and while
he may exhibit the same qualities of cruelty
and greed. he will scarcely be able to display
the same vigor and activity.

Mr.. Sumner was not professor OF religion,
although he had great respect for sacred things.
He was q believer in the existence Of a God, as
his frequent illusions to q Supreme Being in
his various speeches and writings prove, but did
not regard many Of the forms Of religious wor-
ship as essential to the practice Of christianity
He was not an attendant at church worship,
and usually spent the Sabbath in his library.
1t will be noticed, also, that he did not invite
the presence of any clergyman in his dying
hours.

manifest that such efforts are not confined to
either party, but that both parties, from differ

democrats in some southern communities hope,
By exciting the prejudice OF race, to isolate
their opponents and reduce their strength to

Alabama, and rome parts Of Louisiana this trick
doubtless will be played to the advantage OF the
democrats. On the other hand, similar tactics

The fall business season promises hopefully
Ia New York, according to the papers. South
ern and Western buyers now in that city are
not laying in largely 1T present, but are waiting
Tor prices TO get steady and ct their lowest. The
money market offers every encouragement to
anticipate considerable activity In general trade
circles. Already the banks are beginning TO
ship currency, mostly national bank notes, IL Ia
said, although the bank statement shows q loss
of nearly 500 900 legal tenders each week to the
West, to aid the crop movement. The banks OF
New York hold s26,T5O 900 in excess Of their re-
CURED legal reserve, and can well afford to
stand heavy drain, so long as the money
drawn out enters into legitimate use.
The Lesson of the Day-as delivered by the
New York Graphic-"It is high time that people
began to recognize the fact that parsons are not
made of hne porcelain, as seems to be generally
supposed, but of common clay like the rest of
mankind. 1t is also high time that we stopped
calling them 'divines,' or even especially
when they are younR) 'reverends.'."
Col. Forney writes that such thing as q tele-
graph pole Ia unknown in England. The wires
are stretched along the tops Of the houses, and
he asks why the some plan is not adopted in our
country. Why, indeed? 1t would save Wash
ington from the Disagreement of its streets by
the present telegraph poles, which are surely
the u2lest and clumsiest ever put up.

in the trial and excursion, and who made a
very desirable addition 10 the good looks
and general good feeling of the party

ton was reached at half past one and the
end of the journey south was completed
Here carriages were in wal ing to take the
company to the Gates House, there to par
take of that welcome repast called dinner,
at the Invitation of Mr.. Mltimore. The
hospitable doors of that well-known host
elrie were thrown open at their approach
and the wants of the inner man were soon
satisfied in the most substantial manner.
AT half past three the party started on
the return trip to Rutland, making few
stops and regretfully leaving few of its
numbers at different points along the way,
and arriving at Rutlandabo seven o'clock
in the evening.
1t is the intention of this test to make n

Miltimore and the one now in use. Fol
lowing THIS decision the train Will return
TO Arlington this morning, leaving here at
seven o'clock, which place will be the end
of the route with the Miltimorc patent.
The trucks will then be changed and the
old axle substituted, the dynameter in the
meantime recording the figures, and the
second round trip will be commenced. The
party will return again to Rutland, Thurs
day evening, and next morning will leave
for Arlington on the last Tip, which
finished will decide the test intended 10 be
made of the two axles.
Several other prominent railroad men arc
expected to join the excursion to-day and

given by the dynametcr. will be made pub

Cardinal DC IsIchelicu.

The lecture tonight in DR.. Lords histor-
ical course, we are glad to learn, is TO be
on Cardinal De Richeieu, one of tho most
interesting and wonderful characters in
history. The prime minister of Louis the
Thirteenth of France. by the simple force
of his great talents alone, was in reality
more OF king than the king himself. In
our modern speech, he was the great "wire
pullcr" of his time. And the merit of DR..
Lord as Il lecturer on history, consists in
his ability to portray character, and draw
those lessons of profit from his subject,
that makes the study of history something
more than the mere gathering up of long
catalogue of dates and facts, but he demon
strates that the treasures of the past may
exhibit valuable lessons for the present.
Let none forget DR.. Lords lecture 2on
the great "wirc-puller" of the seventeenth
century. We have statesmen now who
handle their puppets very shrcwdly, but
we doubt if one of them, or even all of
them put together, is the equal of this Car
dinal, who declared that to the resoute
soul, determined to win, "there is no such
word as TAIL.

4 Mysterious Affair.

The village of st. Marc. 7. O., has been
thrown into state OF excitement by the
mysterious disappearance of farmer
named Paradis, who lived at that place.
He was last seen on the 18th ult., in his
usual spirits, but on the following morning
the doors of his house were found unbrok-
en-, while the room inside presented the ap-
pearance of scuflle having taken place in
it, and Mr. Paradis could not be found,
while his papers had been removed from
the place where they were usually kept.
He was u wealthy man and was reputcd to
keep Il large amount of money in his
house. lie was a bachelor and lived al
most alone For some weeks past he had
been suffering from petty thefts, which he
suspected had been committed by some OF
his neighbors. A police officer has been
sent to investigate the case, but up to Mon
day morning no satisfactory conclusion had
been arrived at. AS usual in such cases The
report has gone abroad that foul murder
has been committed. st. Johns Ners.
