NOTES on EDrC1TLON

The San Francisco Board of Education
is considering plans for making the com
pulsOry education law operative in that
city.
The Cleveland Industrial School in its
Is years Of existence has enrolled and
instructed over 5000 vagrant children.
The annual expense of sustaining the
school is about $4,000
Prof Bonamy Price in a recent lecture
on Education. said that Americanss should
have great educators that they should
not be content to resign the training of
their children to omere respectable medi-
ocrity.
The Cincinnati School of Design has a
class in carving of 105 members, 26 of
whom are married ladies. During the
year they they have had in hand or com
pleted S22 pieces of work in wood. besides
sundry tasks in metal and tile-painting.
Sporadic complaints that the drawing
system in the Boston public schools took
too much time and was of little practical
utility, have been rendered of small ac-
count by decisive vote of the School
Committee continuing the system.
The question of cutting down teachers
salaries has started an inqsiry as to how
the expenses of our common schools NAV
be lessened. "The Troy Wing" suggests
lhat we go back to the plan of furnishing
an education at the public expense only
n the common branches of English.

PENPIcTURE0FMR. cARLSCHURZ

Gath, the Washington correspondent
of the Dispatch, furnishes the following
spicy photograph of the Missouri Sena-
tor:
Carl Schurz will 90 to Europe in the
summer with his family and break
ground upon his work the political his
tory Of the United States Il very necessa-
ry work of which he will find a fair mod
Ell and plenty of help in Jabez Ham
monds political history of the st te Of
New York. The extreme Federal side
of this history is carried out in Hill
dredth's opinionated book, to the end of
MadiSon's Administration SchuZ is a
sort Of semi-det ched man, a gentleman
without l0cum-teneRS, a scholar without
a sanctuary, a Bohemian surrounded by
all the orthodoXies of family, friends and
honor. Few men have ever been so
blessed and so unhappy. He illustrates
the impotence of the individual to bear
up against the strong Democratic cur
rents Of American politics One mis-
step carries the greatest person over the
dam. Little rhetoricans like Banks,
composed chiefly of bladder can come
up again and dart through the cataract
like shad or bass, but solid personality,
having such manly gravity as Schnrz,
can only finger the piano when he sees
his hopes and ambitions borne away on
some inundation of the commonplace,
like the nomination Of Greeley by John
Cochrane and'Theodore Tilton
Ii required only success to have made
of Schurz Hamilton or Gallatin. He
is accomplished above American Sena-
tors in general, and few in Europe have
his versatility. His charac' er is pure.
He is tender and beloved husband and
father, and very perfect host His
weakness is intellectual selfshness and
no stomach to go it alone" He came
to the Senate on the misfortunes of John
B. Henderson, and his first bolt with
Grant was on the matter of the Missouri
patronage. Grant treated him coarsely;
Schurz retorted behind the obtuse barri-
cade of Charles Sumner. Barricade and
man went down full of honor and again
Schurz is a wanderer, Very well. 1t is
better to be fine Bohemian than to be
some Senators. The pure life of Carl
Schurz will be to his credit when his
speeches on French arms and Santo Do
mingo are ploughed under.

ACTUAL RUNNING EXPENSES AZ
THE-WHITEE HOUSE.
[Cor. Boston Globe.l

A large proportion of the running ex-
penses of the White House,is borne by
the government. The entire appropria-
ton for this purpose foI the present fs-
cal year is $l2S, 200. This includes the
Presidents salary, the salaries of his sec
retaries, clerks, messengers, policemen,
uShers, watchmen, furnace keeper, Stew
ard light, and for takingcare of the man
sion, repairs, plumbing and gas-litting,
stationery, and contingent expenses
With the exception Of the steward, the
President pays out Of his salary all his
household servants, cooks, walters, cham
bermaids, CJaChmen, fOOtmen, &c. But
the list is not long, and the costno more
if as much as the servants of any private
gentleman. heard President Johnson
say, on one occasion, that it cost him
about $4,000 to live while in the EXecu-
tive Mansion, and he remained there all
the year round, from January to Janu-
ary. President Grant IL usually absent
six months of every year, on an average
and it is presumed that uis expenses
when travelling or at Long Branch are
less than in the White House The gen
eral impression is that it costs Grant
about $1,000 a year. He has hosts of
friends, not only at home, but abroad,
who never fail to remember him, and it
is no secret that many of the expensive
luXuries of life are supplied by them at
very little cost to the Presidential purse
Mems opinions differ about what Mr.
Sumner termed "gilt-bearing Greeks =
Andrew johnson. for instance, would not
accept even span of horses while he
was President. His tailor related an in
cident to me the other day about him,
which shows how very particular he vas
in such matters. When he became Pres
ident, after the assassination of Lincoln,
his tailor thought he wculd make and
present him a suit of clothes in honor of
the event, or rather as a celebration of
it. Having his measure, and knowing
exactly what the President liked nothing
was said about it until the suit was finish
ed and sent to Mr.. Johnson with re-
ceipted bill and the compliments of the
tailor. Next day the tailor was summoned
into the Executive presence, when Mr.
johnson gave him to understand that he
could not accept any present, and gave
him a check for the amount of the bill,
and admonlshed hiM, il he valued the
executive as a customer, never to repeat
the operation. But, as l have said, the
views ofmen, in and out of Office, differ
upon these subjects.

THE FINANCIAL BILL A DEL LUSION.

To suppose that the passage of a bill as
party measure by the House of Repre-
sentatives, in the same way it was forced
through the Senate, would do anything
to restore the public confidence, is a
delusion. The party that opposed it
would have every advantage in discus
sion before the people The bill is i'm
potent for good If it becomes law the
Republican party will go into the next
campaign, not only not relieved, but with
an additional mistake to explain and
apologize for. Much less acuteness in
politics than iSrequisite to be a member
of Congresswill enable man to see that,
instead Of contemplating in good faith
the resumption of specie payments, it is
Il device to postpone consideration on the
subject until after the next Presidential
election. Such postponement might be
very acceptable to some politicians, but
what the business of the country de-
mandS, what patriotism requires, is i'm

purpose to accomplish resumption in

A Baltimore Mfser.

Baltimore is called upon to mourn
the death of an elderly miser who, in his
Journey through this world, had spent
little else than his life. A short time be-
fore his dea h he informed friend that
ne had never given away a cent nor
spent one when the expenditure could
possibly be avoided. Four years ago he
married third wife, and though che was
young, and he was in his dotage, he had
entire ascendency over her, compelling
her to work in factory and turn over
her wages to him. He assumed the
whole responsibility of the household,
ana, under his penurious management,
nothing went to waste. Some six wears
ago he purchased cheap pine coffin,
and stored it in his tenement, biding pa-
tlently the day when he should need it
Tor his final wrap. Shortly before his
death he told his wife that his funeral
expenses must not exceed ten dollars.
and to that end he directed that his
body be carried to the grave on the
shoulders of men, instead Of in a hearse.
Learning, however, that the mode of
conveyance would cost at least twelve
dollars, he decided upon the emplov.
ment Of an express wagon, which could
be had for the purpose for about five
dollars. Finding that a BARRIERS tariff
for shaving corpse was something
more than his charge for the service to
sick man, he sent, on the night before
his death, for one of the razor craft, who
did the work to the old gentleman's sat-
isfaction. The widow was mindful Of
her deceased lords injunctions, and the
total expenses of the funeral were a. ~
The miser left property valued at
$4,000, the result of pinching himself
and family through a long series of
years. By his will it was divided be.
tween his wife and son by a former
marriage.

a kind OF general name given to mkt
