your psinstaking reporter has, with an accuracy
Of detail truly refreshing In this warm weather,

This is very good far as It goes, but 1t does not

Of this important kind has only been whetted BY

PUBLIC SQUARES.
Can't We Get Rid Of the Loafsrs.

To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: The New York papers are now discussing
how to get rid of the loafers In the squares, and
think the subject will bear little writing up"
as regards the public squares in our own city.
Every day the seats In the parks, especially
Lafayette, are monopoliIed by set Of dirty, idle
and worthless men, principally negroes, to the ex-
cluson of ladies and children naturally repair
to these resorts for little recreation. Genteel
persons are forced to forego the pleasure Of q
visit TO these breathing spots Just en- account OF
the laZZaroRi who seem to have taken permanent
possession Of them, presume BY the right Of
tsquatter soysreignty."' The writer notices the
same faces, the same crippled limbs, the same
filthy garbs, all ensconced in the same seats
daily the owners of which seem TO eat, Sleep and,
in fact live there, The officers In charge should
have imperative orders to abate the nuisance.

A Child Shut Up and FORGOTTEN.

A Norwich (Conn. letter to the Hartford Timss
says: "In the Greenville school district some two
weeks ago, one Of the female teachers inflicted
what has proved to be q terrible punishment on .
little boy not yet fre years old. 1t seems he was
detected In splitting on his slate, and the teacher
shut him up In 3 room, locking him in. When
the school was dismissed he was forgotten. The
child's mother, . poor widow compelled to work
in the mill to support large family, missed the
child, and on inquiry found him locked up and in
state of imbecility. He Is still under the physi-
clans care, with some hope Of his ultimate re-
covery. The mother, Of course, Is obliged to give
up work to watch over her child, and beyond an
apology from the teacher there does not seem to
be anything done by the committee or anybody
else toward aiding her In her dificulties."
