o It was Done.

1t will be remembered that the com
mittee on selection of teachers in their
report stated as follows: THAT they re-
GREETED that, owirg to serious illness,
Mr.. Picket was unable TO give the COM
mittee any assistance in selecting teach
ers." We have it from good authority
that next day after the selections had
been made Colonel Townsend, one Of
the committee, stated that the commit
tee had nothing to do with the selection
OF teachers, as it was left to the ladies
who we're selected as district principals,
each of whom selected the teachers she
desired in her district, and that the list
was submitted to the sick man Picket,
who Endorsed it, and thus it appeared
before the wmittee and the Board who
unanimously voted for the list as Sc
lected. This furnishes the reason why
many of the best teachers we're dropped,
and especially those who did not indorse
the Picket theories of education.

sTATIOS.HOUsE FORMULA.
The Way Druaken Men Are Cares
For.

When a prisoner is brought to the sta
u~on-house at night he is marched up to
the counter to confront station-house
Keeper Forrest. Turnkey Tim Hope
takes his stand By the side o the arrested
person and If necessary props him up in
order hat he can give an account Of him
self and undergo the following inter
view:
Station house Keeper" What's your
manner The drunken man looks puz-
zled; takes a sight with one eye at the
interrogation and grunts out-"whatY'
What's your manner mildly asks Tim
Hope, as he shakes up the drowsy and
drunken man. What's your name?
Are you ashamed to tell itp" This
intlmation arouses the chap and makes
him mad, as he replies: mo, sir,
l never was ashamed of my name. Ny
name, sir, is Charles johnson. / can
lick any man who says I'm ashamed of
my name" BE Aisy now" says Tim
Hope. Keep cool; l knew you were
not ashamed of your name" While the
s~tation-house keeper is recording the
name, probable occupation, ETC., of the
prisoner, Turnkey Hope is giving the
chap a new surprise. He is searching
his pockets, running his hands around
his waist, down his legs and arms for
deadly weapons. He feels him all over
IN a scientific manner, very much to the
a'tonishment Of the prisoner, who sobers
up suddenly and demands, What are
you doing to me9' "0nly searching
you answers Hope, "just to see what
you'v got" as he turns out upon the
counter a key or two, pocket-knife, a few
dimes or a dollar or two, SOM old papers
and other things Of little value. When
this is gone through with, the patrolman
who has made the arrest says: "Put
him down as drunk and d~isorderly."
Who is drunk2' quickly asks the. man
you are drunk yourself, you -"
Silencel' sternly says Hope. Come
with me" And turning him round and
seizing him by the shoulders, runs him
into the jail-yard with a rapidity that
before the drunken man RECEIVERS him
self he is on his way to the cell.
1t is astonishing how quickly they
sober up about this time. 1t seems as If
instinct comes to their assistance and
clears up for a few minutes the clouded
intellect, but it is only a lucid interval,
for on being locked up in the cell they
drop ON the floor and sink into the arms
of both Morpheus and Bacchus. Prob.
ably in an hour or two some friend or
the wife of the prisoner comes around
to try and get him out on a forfeit, but
such is not taken for drunken men who
are disposed to be d~isorderly, and they
remain in prison until next morning,
when the Recorder settles the matter BY
a fine of either FIVE, ten or twenty-five
dollars.

Inquest ON a FIoa,or

Late last evening the decomposed
body OF a drowned white man was dis
covered floating in the river near the
foot OF South street. Quite a number Of
skitfs lowered around the body, the oc-
cupants being 10th to take hold of il,
but at last q negro carried it ashore. 1t
proved to be the remains of a gray.
haired white man, and from appearances
the body must have been in the water
several weeks, the flesh having fallen
from the hands, feet and face. The ap-
p~earance of the face and head rather
suggested the idea that the man had
Come to bis death by violence. The
body was dressed in a plain white cotton
suit, and nothing was found upon the
remains that would in any manner lead
to the Identification Of the man. OF
course the body must have been riGed of
such articles either at the time of death
or by some pirate who went through the
body up the river as it aoated past and
then turned it loose TO float onward
until caught and inferred. Coroner
Spelman held an inquest and the verdict
Of the jury was simply death from
drowning"
