enee with the Commissioners.
The District Commissioners have adopted a
plan Cor the improvement Of the vacant space il
front OF the Centre Market, between Seventh aud
Ninth streets, submitted by Mr.. William Saunders
Of the parking commission. By order Of Lieu
tenant Hoxie; the work will be commenced at
once, under the superintendence of tie parking
commission.
The District Commissioners Thursday addressed
a communication to Major Richards setting forth
that in future the work Of caring for the parking
in the carriage ways will be under the charge Of
the parking commission. and requesting the serv-
ices Of the police in arresting all persons found
cutting the grass or otherwise trespassipG thereon
without written authority for so doing from the
Commissioners.
Yesterday Mr.. James A. Hoffman, represent
ing the butchers, called upon the District Com
missioners to settle the routes for driving live
stock through the city. MIR. Hoffman said that 1t
was difficult to determine upon any particular
routes as the slaughter houses are scattered all
around the outskirts of the CITY, from the Eastern
branch to Rock creek, and even to the Potomac
river. 1t would be difficult to select route from
the Baltimore and Potomac railroad cattle pens
on Maryland avenue southwest to the slaug inter-
houses north of Georgetown without passing over
or crossing some parked streets The proposition
he was authorized to make is that the butchers
Will enter into arrangements with the railroad
company to deliver their stock at o'clock IN the
morning and they will promise to have all their
cattle out Of the way before any one is stirring
and as far as possible pass over streets that are
unparked, avoiding the denseIy populated streets
in The heart of the city.
The Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company
transport all the stock that is slaughtered in the
District, and he cattle can be brought in the
morning as we'll in the afternoon. Mr.. HOf-
man stated that some butchers had been in the
habit OF employing boys and irresponsible men to
do driving because It could be done cheaply. He
promised that hereafter the butchers would en-
ploy at the rate of one man for every five cattle
Major Richards came in during the discussion,
and II was decided that the butchers should meet
him at his office next Monday TO determine upon
which the plan could be submitted to the Com
misslCncrs 1Or approval.

HENRY CLAY.

Or. Cox on the Great "Pscifcator."
Ou Thursday evening last, by invitation of the
Law Department of Howard University, DR.. q.
c. Cox, OF the Board of Health, delivered before
large and appreciativc audience at that institu-
tiOn an able ami instructive lecture on the life
and character of Henry Clay 1t is a difficult
about whom we have heard and read much, even
though his genius be tTanscendent, and mis-
achievements many and great; but after listen
ing over an hour with rapt attention and enthu-
sissm on this sSiun it seemed to be the unant-
mCus opinion Ofthe audience that they never
listened TO an eulOgy SO replete with el0quence
and instruction.
The Doctor discussed Clay three fold character
as man, statesman. and orator and showed to the
satisfaction Of bis audience that the illustrious
subject of his discourse had in the first relation
few sUpcriOrs, in the second few equals and that
liant galaxy Of orators by whom he was sur
rounded. The speaker dwelt with great force and
elCquCDce upon Clay's devotion TO the Union and
the principles of liberty, in the defense of which
he gave the best energies Of his great nature.
Mr.. Clay's honesty and consistency as politician
were especially exhibited as examples worthy of
study and imitation; and calling up with each
successive step In his analysis some well-remem-
bercd instance Of selfEacrihcng patriotism, the
lecturtr brought his audience to feel perhaps
more IOrcibly than ever before, that the name Of
Clay must necessarily go down to posterty and
OF our national history.
1t is impossible to give an adequate idea of the
power Of description, the anal ical dscrimiua-
tion, The pathOs and elOqueUce exhibited through
out by The Doctor in his discourse. He must be
heard in order to be fully appreciated. lie was

Kinderparten Normal School.

As most oil our readers are aware, Miss Emma
MarWedel, German lady OF intelligence and
cultare, and an enthusiastic educator, has estas-
lished and successfully conducted, for several
years past, model Kindergarten, which is
patrOnized by many OF cur first citizens. Actua-
ted by desire to diiIUse a knowledge Of this ad-
mirable institution. the paradise Of childhood"
she has established, also, normal department
to train others in the method Of teaching it, and
the irst class, six in number graduated few
evenings since.
The exercises. which were held in the room =,
No. 200 Eighteenth street, were comparatively
private, only few personal friends OF Miss Mar
wedel and the graduates being present. Speci-
mems Of the work done by the graduates we're dis.
played on tables. They were executed in excel
lent taste, with great care In every detail, and,
at the same time, in accordance with the scien-
tiic principles that underlie the system, proving,
even to the superficial observer, that the Occupa
tions of the Kindergarten are something more
than pleasant, but unmeaning and mechanical
pastime.
Each Of the graduates read a very interesting
essay the subject OF Kindergarten education,
and Miss Marwedel, after a farewell address, in
which she eniOined upon them to become bene-
factors to the human racein the field OF education,
presented to them their diplomas. Their names
are Misses CAIRO :. Leland and Jennie Russell,
York; Misses Rebecea Noerr, Helen Schmidt and
Olga HesselOack, OF this city. After the cOnclu-
sion OF these exercises the remainder ot the even
ing was passed very pleasantly in social inter
course, enlivened by some Of the kindergarten
plays and marches with songs.
As an evidence Of the increasing interest in the
kindergarten Instruction.. and the demand Ior
qualified teachers, we may mention that four out
0i the six graduates have already secured places:
two as assIsthnts to Miss Marwedel; one at Girls.
