THE SANITARY CONDITION OF THE
WALLACE SCHOOL BUILDING.-The Board
of Health met last night. DIR. Verdi in the
chair. A report by Health Officer Keene
upoD a further examination of the Wallaeh
School building was read, in which he states
that he, in company with the inspector of
buildings and a number of the school trus-
tees, called there to ascertain If his former
Instructions as To certain Improvement
necessary to its sanitary condition had been
carried out, and he found that they had been
only partly executed. The work is now in
progress. The janitOr having secured house
In the vicinity, will move his family from
the basement next week, and the rooms they
now occupy will thereafter be vacant. He
states that he visited all the schOol-rOOms in
the building late In the afternoon, just before
dismissal of the pupils, when the atmOs-
phere would likely be most impure, and
found them, with one exception, compare
lively free from offensive OdOrs or the i'm
purities ordinarily recognized in such rooms.
In the one excepted there was the odOr of the
basement concrete. This building will com
pare favorably with any in the city used for
school purposes. The existing defects will
be remed ed and the health of both teachers
and pupils be propOrtiOnately benefited.
The president. DIR. Verdi. read his annual
report, in which he treats in detail OF the
labor performed the past year, and suggests
remedies for existing insanitary conditions
for the future action of the board. The report
was not complete, and the board adjourned
until next Monday night 10 hear the remain
der and consider the general subject of
reports.

The Firemau,s Daughter,

i was large school, the pupils were
assembled and busily engaged in their
work, Nhen tiiefs-~ &C. alarm of
fire. As usual, a terrible panic ensued.-
r. ma confusion ard with shrieks and
cries every one darted to the doors Of the
schoolroom, forming there mass 50 dense
as to render escape absolutely impossible
to many. In the struggle to get out, sew
eral of the children were se1iouslyinjured,
and Que young lady, a teacher, rushed to
an open window, and jumped out Of it.
Throughout this scene Of confusion one
little glrl-one of the best conducted in
the school-nlaintaine her selfcomposure
and remained seated on the bench, where
she had been when the alarm commenced,
without once moving The celor had in
deed forsaken her face; her lips quiYered,
and some tears rolled slowly down her
cheeks; but not one cry, not one word es-
capped, and there she sat silent and mo-
tionless as a white marble statue, till all
danger was declared to be over.
After order had been restored, and her
companions had been brought back to their
places, except those who were too much
hurt or too much frightened for their duties
for that day, the question was asked her,
how it happened that she had been 50 com
posed as to sit still when every body else
was in such fearful state Of fright? Her
reply was, MY father is fireman, and he
has told me thatif ever there was an alarm
of fire in the school must just sit still, I
thought Of his words and did as he desired
me, and this was what made me stay so
quiet

A Donkey Race.

The officers Of a cavalry regiment sta.
toned at a dull English garrison town,
lately got up a donkey race for their
amusement, and very amusing It proved to
be. One donkey took the lead from the
start, and rapidly neared the goal amid
the widest shouting. When within few
feet Of the winning post his rider thought
to put on fine squirt, and SO gave the
beast spur, but with disastrous effect
The brute put his head down, kicked fur
iously, stopped dead short, and would not
bulge an inch Those who were running
second and third saw their comrades diff
Guilty, and redoubled their efforts. Slowly
but surely they came along, every stride
bringing them nearer to the goal. At last
the rider Of donkey number one came to
the conclusion that some action ought to
be taken, and that at once. Should he let
the prize slip from his hands, when itseem-
ed almost within his grasp? He sprang
to the ground without a moments hesita-
ton, and seizing his steed' tail, put it over
his shoulder, and dragged the unwilling
animal backwards past the post An OBJ
lection was lodged, but the decision was
given in favor Of the winner.

Mummfes Converted into Paint,

Few persons are aware that veritable
Egyptian nummies are ground up into
paint. But in this country and in Europe
mummies are used for this purpose, the
asphaltum with which they are impregnat-
ed being Of Q quality superior to thatwhich
is elsewhere attained, and producing a
peculiar brownish tint when made into
paint, which is priced by distinguished ar
fists both of this and other countries. The
ancient Egyptians, when they put away
their dead wrapped in clothes saturated
with asphaltum, builded, as it were, better
than they knew, and could never have re
allied the fact that ages after they had
been laid in the tombs and pyramids along
the Nile their dust would be used in PAL nj
ing pictures in a world then undiscovered,
and by artists whose languages were to
them unknown. That portion Of one of
the Pharaohs, or a Potipbar, or even of the
historic Mrs. Potiphar, may even now be

Church, who may question?

Headin, the conjurof, used to tell of a
Count de Torrini, who, being reduced to
poverty took to the dieplay of his skill as
q eonjuror for the means Of living. He,
too, used to do the William Tell trick, and
place the apple on the head of his son, OF
whom he was deFotedly fond. ~On orc oc-
easion, when continued success and a
crowded audience had raised his spirits
to the highest state Of pleasurable excite
ment, he placed the apple on his dear
boys head, aimed and fred. To his aston
ishment, the boy fell fat upon his face on
the stage. At first he smiled, and then
his face grew sfhite with a terrible fear

have been an awful scene to witness. Fran
tic with horror he denounced himselfa as a
murderer, and demanded justice on the
slayer Of his son--himself He afterwards
confessed that the exhibition had been no
fair feat of skill, but a mere coniuring
trick. The ramrod removed the bullet
as he thought with unerring certainty
but in this case it had failed to do so, and
his sons life had been sacrificed in con,

! THE TWO LAST FIGURES CT THG PREsExT YEAR, 1877
The total of two segens will give,
The age of youth and fun,
When years through vista bright appear,
A glorious race to run.
Three sovens again make twenty-one,
A charming time for all;
For beauty's form may then be seen
AT party at ball.
But now, alas! another seven
Gives statclier twenty-eight;
And then If not already weed
There's LITTLE time to wait.
So pass we on til! seven bright sevcns
Announce us forty-nne;
Yet still we are much wiser grown,
And have not reached the prime
For sons and daughters round us sit,
With wife just seven times five;
80 we may hope that seven times nine
With pleasure will arrive.
But here pause, for sickness comes,
Entailed by Adams SIM
And ere we ten long sevens count
Death may have entered in
Seven times eleven make seventy-seven,
Last figures for the year;
While seven times twelve are past the age
Affixed for mans career.
Then let us hope this double seven
Will, as in days of old,
A seTen-foId blessing bring TO all.
