Orleans are not fashioned after those Of New York
or Boston. But how can they be with such a
Board of School Directors you have had OF late!
In Boston, music and drawing are made proml-
nent features of study; St. Louis natural history
and chemistry. In Europe, great attic Ition is
given to school buildings, and upon this subject
our American cities are, it seems, considerably
divided. Boston has achieved her present fame
on the subject OF schools and their government,
by careful attention to all branches of the sub
ject, and . vie policy OF introducing the best
features Of other eectiOns and venturlng into eX-
perimental paths on her own account. Chicago,
st. Louis and San Francisco are closely following
in her track but, unfortunately for those cities,
the persons chosen for school directors or COM
mittee-men, or whatever you may choose to cal!
them, have not always been the wisest and most
judicious selections that could have been made.
Here in Boston, the "sctool committeeman y
only exercise their true functions. and leave the
more strictly prof ssional duties Of education in
the hands of those more qualified by experience
and lifelong study for its performance. Ii your
"echoOl directors could be induced to take a
step IN that direction, it would be found produc-
tive Of much good they would feel highly
f1attered at the re; ut.
The interest in the Centennial Exhibition
among the artists seems scarcely go general as ii
was hoped would be the case, although 1t is con-
jectured that st the last moment deeper feeling
may be developed. As matters now stand, it Is
Jude stood that there will be rs C ntributors
from this city, which is a fair representation
compared with the $50 of New York, 81 from
Philadelphia and about lis from the rest of the
States. 1t is understood the committee of ten
on the selection of pictures will visit the prln-
cipa cities and sit in judgment on the local col
lections. They will probably visit this city in a
| few weeks, and consequently the chet-d9urres Of
New Englands artists ara on exhibition In the
principal stores on Washington and fremont
streets. Some Of the paintings are characterized
by attractive subjects, vigorous handling and
clear, rich color, while others are mere daubs and
scarcely worth the time spent in their prepare
tion The finest picture Of the lot is ''The Boston
Boys and General Gage" by Henry Bacon. 1t is ,

To show highly this old bird is
appreciated throughout the coun-
try, We reprint the following bit
of irony from tho New York Tri-
bune Of . recent date:
The president seems to share the
mistaken opinion Of . great many
Americans that tho Centennial
Exposition Il to Be . show Of Gu
riosities rather than Of the best
products of American culture.
He has assigned to duty there
Major Lewis Merrill Of the 7th
Calvary. There will be 20 much
curiosity to see this remarkable
officer, whose operations In Louis
lana during the political campaign
Of 1874, were theme Of general
comment al over the country,
that we trust he Will be given
conspicuous place in the United
States government building. Il
would not be q bad idea to exhibit
with him . copy Of Lieutenanl
Col. M0rrow'sreport to Genera
Emory on Major Merrill's be'
haiviour in "impairing tho reputa
tion Of the service for fair and i'm
partial conduct in the delicate and
responsible duties it is required te
perform in conjunction with th'
civil authorities in the Southern
| States.

The charges of literary piracy
which General Butler has brought
against Richard II. Dana, Jr., were
fully sustained by the decision of
Judge Clifford, Of the United
States Circuit Court Of the Dis
trict Of Massachusetts,, IN 1850,
whom the suit Of Mr.. Lawrence
was tried. Judge Cliffrod decided
that the editor Of second or third
editions ofa work can not borrow
from citations introduced into the
previous ones by another editor
without infringing tho copyright
on them though they arc not &C
companied BY extracts previously
presented with tho citations, moi
can he borrow citations, Of au'
thoritics, although without re-
marks or comments, even when
preixed or appended to notes moi
other wise Objectionable. Thu
Mr.. Lawrence was decided to h
the owner Of the copyright Of th'
Notes On Wheaton, but he hal
never obtained an injunction, ant
the whole edition has been sold
| for the reason that the case was re
ferrcd to . master in chancery
who was instructed to examine
the matter and report tho exten
Of Dana's piracy. This ofIlcia
never reported, but it docs no
better Mr.. Dana's position in vicy
Of Judge Clifford's decision.

reap the advantages conferred by labor saving
machinery, which their brains have created.
Eighteenth-To secure legislation provid-
ing for the assessment and collection of mon
ies required to prosecute wars from the
wealth of the nation, -on the principle that
II the government possesses the right to draft
che poor mans body for purposes Of national
defense, it has an equal right to appropriate
the rich mans accommodations under the same
conditions and in order that such debts as
that which now Expresses the people, may
never again be entailed upon ourselves and
our Posterity.
Nineteenth-To prevent, by all lawful
means, the practice now in vogue Of invoking
the aid Of the military whenever or where
ever the toiling masses refuse to submit to
the arbitrary or unjust demands Of aggregated
wealth or unprincipled employers-by which
the men enlisted as the nations defenders be-

Resolved, That the preservation of our ma
tionaf life imperatively demands that every
American voter shall attend with care to all
primary nominations and elections Of compe-
tent and honest men to all Offices in the gift
of the people.
Resolved. That we demand the imr,aGiate
reform of abuses in the civil service through
which the patronage Of the government Is
dispensed as a reward for partisan serices,
rather than with regard to the public neces-
sites.
Resolved, That we are in favor Of improv-
ing and perfecting the navigation Of our
lakes and rivers and water connections, as
soon as it can be possibly done
Resolved, That we demand the repeal of
the specie resumption and national bank

paper money for the national bank cir
culation; the perfectlng Of none
tary system based upon the faith and resour-
ces Of the nation and adapted to the demands
OF legitimate business, which money shall re

express terms of the law creating it made pay
able inmetalhc money, this money to be in
Interchangeable at the option Of the holders
with registered government bonds bearing a
rate Of interest not exceeding 3.65 per cen
per annum.
Resolved, That as the tendency of much OF
the legislation of Congress has been to en-
hance the value Of the interest bearing bonds
OF the government and to depreciate the val.
ue Of the equally sacred obligations issued

demand in all future legislation equal and
exact Justice To all classes

Of the public lands, the heritage OF the PEG

capital and labor, the removal Of unjust tech
nicalities, delays and determinations in tn,
administration of justice, and the adoption o
measures providing for the health and safety
Of those engaged in mining, manufacturing
and Building pursuits
| z soired, That the right Of the Legislature
to regulate and control the railroads an,
other corporations by the State must be YIN
dicated, established and maintained as al
essential Of the State government.
Resoired, That we demand a reduction o
| all public expenditures to the end that tax
alton may be reduced to the lowest possibl
