1t is reported to-day on what Is regarded
as good authority that the Paving Com mis-
zion have decided to have part OF Pennsylva-
mia Avenue paved with the Grahamite and
part with the Neucnatel pavement. There
must be q mistake somewhere. The first
section OF the law authorizing this work to
be done requires the commission 'to deter
mine the best kind of pavement TO be used''
In paving the avenue, and, farther, "to have
said thoroughfare paved Herewith" The
second section provides "that said pavement
shall be of the best material" &C., &c. Now,
10 IL possible that ttco pavements, as unlike
as these, can both be "the best kind, }" and
both constituted of "the best material?''
"Best' is asuperlative term, and 1t is hardly
likely, If possible, that both patents can
exactly I'LL the bill. Under the law one or
the other ought to have been chosen for the
whole thoroughfare, for 1t could not have
been intended that this nne street should
again be made An experimental garden. As
Sir Boyle Roche would ask: Is dad under
the load of hay? Did tub have to be thrown
TO whale?

The Senate. In passing . bill giving mem-
bers OF Congress the ranking privilege, very
sensibly gave Q like privilege to the chief
officers OF the executive departments. The
doing away with the worse than useless sys-
tenn OF Official stamps was wise act, since
the government has actually lost . large
amount Of money annually by their use.
The revenues Of the Post ONCE department,
IL Ii true, have been swelled BY the system,
and those OF the other executive departments
diminished In consequence, but the govern
ment gained nothing whatever. The trans
action was an actual loss to the extent of the
cost of manufacture and expressage OF the
official stamps. The whole arrangement was
q humbug OF the most transparent charac.
ter, and the wonder Is that such q law ever
got on the statute books.

III The STAR felt the need Of any indorse-
ment OF the stand 1t has seen proper to take
In regard 10 the management OF our schools,
1t would ind plenty OF backing In the express
sions OF the other papers OF Washington In
the same direction. The Sunday papers are
unanimous In condemniDg the late action of
the majority OF the trustees, as are also the
otner journals Of the city, 30 far as we have
observed, both daily and weekly; and these
expressions are In turn only the sentiment
ofa large majority Of our citizens. The trus-
tees may have their way for little while In
their demoralizing and destructive course,
but they will ind that the end Is not yet.

Senator Blaine has been censured by the
democratic press for having insinuated in
his speech at Augusta the other day that
Gov. Tilden might attempt to scatter his
sheke,s In Maine during the campaign. The
charge or insinuation II not Q very serious
one, AL things considered. It Ii, In fact, sus-
ceptible Of proof that the Governor spent
good deal OF money, a. he had . perfect right
to do, to secure the Presidential nomina-
ton, and II II only reasonable TO believe that
he would not be averse to spending consid-
cradle more, In . legitimate way, to secure
bis election. Nobody can object to that.

Senator Eaton, OF Connecticut, Is An icon.
oclast- In speech on Saturday evening last
he made the somewhat startling assertion
mat "tbere Is no more necessity for min
lister At the court OF Great Britain than there
IL At the court Of Dahomey; not . particle
And the Senator told the reason why, which
was that "wIth the cable, when you can get
your Information in three hours, there is ab-
solufely no necessity for 1t; and there never
Will be difficulty settled between this coun-
Try and Great Britain, or this country and
France, or this country and Germany, at
either of the capitals OF the several coun-
tries" He then went on to say that "it will
he done at Geneva; 1t will be done at
Charleston; will be done at Boston; IL will
be done at Washington; IL will be done at
Paris; and 1t will not be done by Edwards
Pferrepont, or whatever his name may be;
but 1t Will be done by q commission ap-
pointed by the Government OF the United
States" Here the Senator names the CAPT.
tails of two countries, whereas In the pre-
vious sentence be asserts that no difficulties
will ever be settled At the capitals OF the
countries he names. 1t will also puzzle many
people to understand what the Senator'S rea-
tops are for believing that any OF our inter-
national difficulties win hereafter be settled
1T Boston or Charleston.

The Cuban revolutionists don't seem to be
losing any ground a all, but on the contrary
continue TO harrass and annoy the Spanish
troops on the island. Two successes by them
are just reported, one at Fort Jacques and
the other in the jurisdic ton OF Villaclara.
The inactivity Of the Spanish troops seems
inexpncable. If they desire to put down the
rebellion, why do they not send heavy
columns into the country Of the insurgents,
or land sufficient force at some point on
the eastern coast, thence marching into the
interior? They undouot adly outnumber the
insurgents nve to one.

out when you expect it least the same
lily will suddenly return to the same
spot. This is especially the case in the
early morning, when you wish to sleep.
This is the favorite time of the fly to
show his agility and to compel the
slumberer to rival the quickness of his
movement. Hyenas and tigers can be
tanned, parrots can be educated to watch
over infants and cats to suekle mice;
but the fly Is faithful to the instincts of
his race. One of the best of the dram
lists of queen Elizabeth's era, wishing to
give an idea of perfectly wild nature,
could only say that it was "untamable as
ties." What could be more expressive?
Educated fleas are common, but an edu-
Gated fly is an unknown creature. They
do not need any education, for they
know too much already. They have
eyes and intellect enough to make try
sting place of your nose, bridal cham
Der of your ear and a battle-ground of
your whole head. Flies are particular
ly fond of heads which are hairless, but
We have yet to learn of bald headed
man who did not regard fly with rage.

FLIES.

A census of the flies has not yet been
taken, owing to the expense to the gov
eminent and to the disgraceful deficiency
of our system of arithmetic. 1t is
thought, however, that there is in n New
York city alone upward of 5000, O0O,-
OOO, ZOO, 900, 900, 900, 900, 900 full grown
flies, exclusive of ancient chieftans
pappooses and squaws. This is an u
derestimate, but few billions more or
less make no practical difference. 1t is
enough that there are too many. The
vitality Of fly is wonderful. Benjamin
Franklin says that il you put fly in a
bottle of wine, cork him up and keen
him for hundred years, and then open
the bottle he will come out insensibly
drunk but that, put in the sun, he will
revive and make a direct line for your
ear
Wehave not yet tried this experiment,
but know that Franklin must be right.
The fiy is the most faithful of all crea-
lures. Dogs desert their masters and
horses try to run away, but the fly al
WAYS returns to u.s. Leaving your nos
triIs or the left corner of your eye, fly
will appear to forget your existence but
his fidelity is greatly abused. He will
soar around the room, buzz on the wins
