no conception Of the Basilicas and
churches, with their grand treasures OF
statuary. All thatart and human genius
could do for religion has been done in
Rome, II is marvellous to see the amount
Of religious works that have been execu.

are old stone chairs in which Bishops
used to sit, and many memorials Of the
early Christians, besides the remains Of
trescos Of the third century, showing that
prayers for the dead, intercession Of saints,
devotion to the Blessed Virgin, the rae.

His Total Recovery Confidently
Expected,

RICHMOND, IND, August 2O.-Hon.
Isaac Jenkinson, Of the Richmond Datiq
Palladium, was among the attendants upon
Senator Morton last evening. This eve.
ming the following editorial Is published
in that paper: The general anxiety about
the condition Of Senator Morton and the
contradictory rumors ailoat in regard to
it, justify us in saying, and we speak from
a personal observation, that his improve.
ment in the last 4s hours has been most
remarkable. His rest last night was al.
most unbroken, sleeping the greater part
OF the time as calmly and as naturally as
though in perfect health. This morning
he was bright and cheerful, conversing
with his friends with the utmost freedom
and the kindest solicitude for the comfort
OF those in attendance upon him. Dur.
ing to-day this improvement continues
aad his friends everywhere may be assured
that his speedy and permanent recovery
can be. confidently expected.

A special examination OF teachers was
held at the School Hall last Tuesday af.
ternoon. The examination was conducted
in a manner most likely TO call forth the
Indignation Of all intelligent people, and
especially Of our German friends.
1t was run through in two and half
hours, allowing only limited time for
applicants to prepare answers to the Ques.
tions, or puzzles, properly speaking, put
TO them. The applicant for the German
department was informed that he would
also be examined in those higher branches
OF study usually taught in Colleges only,
the requirement OF which WAS meant as d
death blow against the appointment Of a
German teacher, and such Is the opinion
OF all our German people. We venture
to remark that the applicant to teach
the German department is ready to test
his abilities II allowed a fair chance,
against Mr.. Hoge, the examiner. 1t is
thought, however, that the Board OF Ed,
ucation will look into this matter thor.
oughly and provide remedies for any
wrongs committed.

The Wear ana Tear OF the Rus.
sian Army-ReintOrcements do
NOtCOmpenSate for their Heavy
Losses.
LONDON, August 29.--For many days
the army Of the Grand Duke Nicholas
has been closing together against Plevna
with view 10 attack. The wear and tear
o. the Russian army has been such that
the reintorcements brought up hitherto
have not compensated for the losses sulI.
cred from battle and other causes. With.
out anything like an epidemic there has
been considerable falling out Of the ranks
owing to sickness Of one kind or other.
Thus, despite the great reinforcements
on the way, the Russians may begin to
doubt II they will be able to have before
the breaking up Of the weather the mn.
merical superiority necessary for a de-
cisive result.

ENGLAND.
The Times Comments on Bank
Of England Rates.

LONDON, August 29.-The Times. COM
menting on the change in bank rate, says:
Independent Of possible further with.
drawals OF gold by the general govern
ment, the bank had to consider more
what's likely to be an export Of bullion
to America in the future than what has
actually been sent thither. The bills
sent in from the country yesterday were
probably negotiated in anticipation Of
Withdrawals Of gold to-day for that
quarter TO meet grain shipments. We
must take very much larger quantity Of
grain from the United States than we
have required in former years, but we
must pay much higher forit. This being
the case the bank has no other course but
to place itself in strong defensive posi-.
tion ia good time. II bad weather con.
tinueS the position can easily become
serious for the Bank Of England, for the
export Of gold in that case, looking at the
comparatively small general imports Of
the United States from Europe, soon
runs into many millions sterling.

The Matter OF u High School.

There ia disposition manifested TO
provide .some sort Of n permanent
school wherein n higher grade OF
education can be obtained by the youth Of
this city than our commbn schools afford.
This ia Il Creditable ambition on the part
Of parents and We feel desirous to en-.
courage it. The city ought TO have and
can easily have first class Academy, and
it can be made rs permanent rs our com.
mon schools. All that is apparently need.
Ell is the provision Of the proper amount
OF iunds on the part Of those who have
children to be benefited by such school,
We do not mean temporary funds, such
az tuition fees for one year, but perma.
nent endowment fund.
This means Of course that we are op.
posed to saddling on the general tax pay.
ers OF the city the burden OF such school.
We certainly are opposed to any such
scheme. The tax payers are car.
rying burdens enough without ad-
ding anything more to their load.
And even il this was not thecas It is not
fit tthat they should provide such school.
Why should the masses be taxed Tor the
5enet! Of the select few whose children
would receive the benefits Of such n
school? The common schools supply
Tree education to everybody, and it is
proper that everybody should be taxed to
support them. The children OF the rich
and the poor there meet oman equality,
and there they also separate at a certain
age, the former to go on with their eduCA.
ton in some Academy or College, and the
latter to go to work for livelihood. II
is therefore proper that all higher educa.
ton should be paid for by those who re.
ceiye it, and not by the general public
1t never was intended that the whole pub
lie should provide free academic or col
legiate education for one part OF the com,
muniIy. Such an idea is contrary TO the
whole end and aim of the free schoo
system. 1t is elementary education, suct

This being the case, the way to prOyid,
