We have been favored by a visit from
HH.Leon Trorsdale. State Superintendent
On his return from Blountville, he gave us
a call. Tho friends Of public schools

On the public school question. He ar.

an admirable system. notwithstanding
there may be some defects. These, how

effort. The rich who oppose free schools

Coal for the Schools.

Mai. Connolly, president os the school
board, in answer to an inquiry in last even
ing's ARGUS, says that coal for the schools,
last winter, was purchased at Cables yard
for / cents, cost of delivery added; that
the cost of delivery at some of the houses
was more than at others, according to dis
lance, and the average cost of all the coal
used was not over l23 cents,-snd that
the agreement with Mr.. Gable was that
he should wait until the end Of the fiscal
year for his pay, which was equivalent to
a saving of about per cent on the money.
Maj. Connolly has shown US the bills
paid and they fully warrant this state
ment He also says that other coal deal
ers were consulted and declined to furnish
coal on as favorable terms.
If the board Of education had published
its proceedings regularly these explana-
tons would be unnecessary. The board
should publish the full proceedings of every
meeting. The expense of running our
schools is about as much as that of the
city government, but the people are gen.
orally ignorant of everything done by the
board-except big taxes.

Thinking of Marriage.

When a young girl reaches the age of
fifteen or sixteen years, she begins to think
of the mysterious subject of matrimony,
a state, the delights of which her youthful
imagination shadows forth in, the most
captivating forms. 1t is made the topic
of light and incidental discourse among
her companions, and it is brought upon
the tapis. When she grows little older
she ceases to smatter about matrimony,
and thinks more intently on the all-impor-
tlut subject. 1t enerosses her thoughts
by day and her dreams by night, and she
pictures to herself the felicity Of being wed
ded to the youth for whom she cherishes
a secret but consuming flame. She sur
veys herself in the mirror, and as it gener-
alp tells 'fattering tale, she turns from
it with q pleasing conviction that her beau
ty will enable her to conquer the heart of
the most obdurate, and that whosoever else
may die in state of single blessedness,' -
she is destined to become, ere many
years roll by, happy bride. From
the age of eighteen to twenty is
''the very witching time of female
life. During that period the female heart
is more susceptible to the soft and tender
influences of love than at any other; and
we appeal to our fair readers to say
whether, if inclination was alone consulted
in the business, more marriages would not
take place during that ticklish season than
in any by which it is preceded or followed, II
is the grand climacteric of love, and she
who passes it without entering into state
Of matrimony may chance to pass several
years of her life ere she is caught in the
meshes of Hymen. The truth is, that the
majority of women begin to be more
thoughtful when they have turned the age
of twenty. The giddiness of the girl gives
way to the sobriety of women. Frivolity
is succeeded by reflection, and reason
reigns where passion previously held un-
disputed sway. The cares and anxieties
of life press themselvesimore, probably.
They tend 10 weaken the effect of the san
guine anticipation of unmingled felicity in
the marriage state which the mind had
formed in its youthful day dreams.

A Pastoral Call Under Difficulties.
From the Detroit Free ppeaa

When she came to work for the family
on Congress street, the lady of the house
sat down and told her that agents, book
peddlers, hat-rack men, picture sellers
ash buyers, rag-men, and all that class of
people must be met at the front door and
coldly repulsed; and Sarah said she'd re-
pulse 'em if she had to break every broom
stick in Detroit.
And she did. She threw the door open
wide. blutfed right up to 'em, and when
she got through talking the checklist
agent was only too glad to leave. 1t got
so after awhile that peddlers marked that
house, and so the door bell never rang ex-
cept for company.
The other day, as the lady of the house
was enjoying quiet nap, and Sarah was
wiping off the spoons, the bell rang. She
fastened to the door, expecting to see a
lady, but her eyes encountered slim man,
dressed in black and wearing 4 white neck
tie. He was the new minister, and he was
going around to get acquainted with the
members of his flock; but Sarah wasn't
expected to know this.
