NEGLECTED ELEMENTARY EDUCATION.
Out OF rinety-scyen aspirants for militia
ry honors at West Point, thirty-two were |
sent back to school, bccau,c they could not |
write. spell or cipher or were not familiar
with maps or grammar This is not fiat
tering commentary on the educational sys
tom of the country in its elementary stages.
The coored candidates all failed.
THE DEFEAT OF THE STAGE DRIVERS STRIKE
is complete and conspicuous. Perhaps it
is as well that they made their impoicnt
attempt, as other classes of laborers will
be apt to think twice before they strike for
higher wages in the face Of declining mar
kets.
THE UNDERWRITERS,
who have made complete examination of
the steamer Idaho since her removal to the
dry dock, officially announce that she has
sustained no damage by the accident at
Fire Island, Captain Moore has not been
dismissed. and no action will be taken prior
to thaolflcial investigation.
AID FOR LOUISIANA.
There is considerable regret expressed
here that New York has not responded so
literally as is its wont to tie appeal from
Louisiana for relief Of the sufferers by the
recent floods. Boston subscriptions were
fm in excess Of those from here This
fact is probably not owing to any want of
sympathy for the sufferers, but because
the responsibility of insiituting measures
for raising contributions has been placed IN
inefficient hands.
THE LATEST ACCOUNTS
from Louisiana show there is great suffer-
ing and privation throughout the State
and the picture drawn by Mayor Wilt of
New Orleans is terrible. Fifty thousand
people are depending upon this committee
for bare sustenancc. Contributions have
almost ceased, and unless immediate relief
is afforded deadly famine must cnsuc.
A FAVOR TO NELLIE GRANTS HUSBAND.
1t is understood in Washington fashion
able circles that Mr. Disraeli has informed
Mr. Sartoris the elder that it is the pur-
pose Of the Queen, on the arrival Of the
bridegroom and bride in England, to con
fer baronetcy on the young man as a
compliment to the American nation, and
thus he will become of rank entitled to APP
pear at court.
GENERAL SHERMAN.
in consequence OF the encroachment of the
Secretary Of War, has ilrevocably decided
to remove the headquarters of the army to
ST. Louis. He will of course be accom-
panied by his staff, and will take his rec.
ords with him. The time set for his de.
parturc is October next Gen. Sherman
leaves Washington for the same reason
that led Gen. Scott to take himself and his
headquarters off to New York, viz, a de
sire TO avoid the annoyance of continually
recurring disagreements with the Secretary
of war about the management of thu
army
\ TREASURY MYSTERY SOLVED.
The house committee on banking ant
currency has been, for some time, secretly
investigating the source from which til,
large amount of new fractional currency
which was at first issued and known a
postal currency, has been put in circula
ton. 1t now appears that the entir
amount has beer put in circulation by
very cccentric.and wealthy old gentleman
who. when this first issue of the fractional
currency was made, deposited a larg
quantity OF it IN his safe and never hat
paid it out until very recently The secre
rotary at first thought of issuing a circula
warning the public against taking it. |
was afterwards thought the original plate
had been stolen, and for time the treas
ury department was thoroughly -frightene
by this rich old gentleman.

THE SECOND TRIAL
of ex- Bank Examiner Calender has prove
as barren of results as the first, owing t
the difficulty of proving by circumstance

sion, He does not bolster up the insolvcn
