Why the President and the Cabin
ct Didn't Go.

Neither the President nor his Cabinet
were present at the Bunker Hill Cen
tennial Celebration. The New York
Herald gives the following reasons
thereof:
Our Long Branch correspondent in
formed Us recently that the President
had resolved not to attend the celebra-
ton At Bunker Hill. and that the Cabin
CT had arrived at the same conclusion.
The information is confirmed by the fact
that neither the President nor any Of his
Cabinet were il attendance at the cele-
b%ration. The reason for this action on
the part of the President is that he re-
scntS the discussion which has taken
place rs to the bills incurred by himself
and his party when they visited the eel
ehratiun of the battle Of Lexington. The
President felt that the discussion on the
part of the local authorities Of New
ENGLAND was an offenSe of the SraveSt
character, the insult of Il host 10 a guest.
The President visited New England at
the invitation of the authorities. His
ilCScUtt IL al -idSlou' t"N NiLtLS uIl,
adding largely to the success of the eel
charlottesville was not allowed to incur
any expense or to bear any portion of
his entertainment. Yet as 500 as he
returned he found that the bills for his
entertainment had been made matters
OF discussion, and that questions had
been been asked as to whether the
President should or should not drink
wine. or should or should O smoke
cigars; that the amount of wine charged
in the bill had been a matter Of amaze
ment and Ieproach, and that one of the
committee went so far as to express his
alarm lest the habits of President Grant
should lead him into an unusual and
painful condition of life.
We do not see really how the Pres
ident could arrive at any other conclu-
sion.

A Principal at Stake.

In Sonoma county, California. a mule
was drawing a load Of lime, which en-
rouragcd by a brisk shower, went into
vigorous combustion. The wagon took
fire, but the mule, r~eSeating this demon
s~tration in the vehicle, and with a view
perhaps Of investigating it, stood still.
The driver suggested that he proceed;
but the mule PIT his fore feet to the
front. laid his ears to the rear. and main
tanned his ground. In due time the
fire on the wagon singed the NIUE; then
it scorched him. Then it blistercd him.
Then it roasted him, but he never
moved. There was a principal at
stake, and he calcinated in his tracks
III support of it. When the process mad
ended, all that was left of what had
been Il mule was q half barrel OF ashes.

The Flood Of Charlton County.

The Salisbury Press ofJu3y 9, says:
The Charlton river and all Che water
courses running through Charlton coun-
" have OverilGwn their banks and for a
week past thousands and thousands of
acres of land have been completely de-
luged. A large portion of the county
is one vast sea of water. 1t is impoSsi-
bic for us to estimate the destruction
that has been wrought. Hundreds of
farms are covered with unbroken sheets
of water. Fences, bridges, houses,
crops, and even people have been swept
away, and lost in II common and in
discriminate ru;n.-Thc very best lands
in the county are covered over with this
widening and deepening sea of water.
The crops have ben damaged and de-
stroyed to such Il frightening degree
that we cannot venture upon an esti-
mate OF the loss. The prospects for Il
good tobacco crop i'll this county are
frighttully damaged, for, outside of the
overflow, this crop has suffered severe
~ from the inccs>ant rains which have
washed up much of it and buried other
portions beneath the mud. Many fam
lies have been driven from their homes
by the raging waters and others awake
each morning to find themselves encir-
cled with the liquid enemy and all pos
sihle means Of escape cut off, and were
it not for such signals of distress as the
firing Of guns and the blowing of trum-
pets they would fail to be rescued by
Cheir friends beyond.
The railroad track was under water
tor several miles west of Salisbury. The
waters have since subsidized, and it is
hoped the farmers can 60 to work now

In tho Schools of Boston.


Tho teaching of sewing TO the girls in the
Boston schools has been stopped because of
a decision by City Solicitor Healy that sal
ariee can not legally be paid to the teach
ers Of the art, because the statutes make no
provision for instruction in sewing The
decision is not accepted as final by the
press or the committee. Instruction in
needlework in the public schools is one of
tbs old customs, 30 old that the memory of
man or woman goeth not to the contrary;
and if the right TO teach children to sew is
not mentioned in the bill of rights, in the
constitution or in the general statutes, il ia
because, like the right of the children to
warm their feet at the fire, it was taken for
granted. The people of Massachusetts
were supposed TO know something" And
one of the things which they were sup.
posed to know was that when an intelligent
woman is entrusted with the education of
an ignorant girl the best thing she can
teach her is the use of her needle,
