A few Hours in the Schools.

The Public Schools Of this city will
be opened on Monday next for the
spring session. We were in several of
the rooms during the last week of the
winter session, and were much pleased
with what we saw. Desiring to under
stand the entire system of teaching pur-
sued, we began at room l., in the Gen.
trail building, where Miss Minnie G..
Tollman is the presiding genius. This
is the primary department, and we
were soon convinced that it is not in
our power to suggest any improvement.
The teacher appeared to have the con-
fidence and respect of her scholars, and
to be zealously devoted to her profession,
and we could not avoid the conviction
that their progress up the mount Of
science would be as rapid as they were
severally capable of, under her guidance.
Object spelling was the lesson they

with writing on their states constitutes
principally their course of study.
In room H. No. 2, we found Miss
Belle A. Gray in charge, and listened
to recitation in spelling by letters and
phonetically. The general appearance
of the school satisfied US that Miss
| Gray was hard working and faithful
teacher.
Room II. No. l, is under the care of
Mrs. O. Whitman. Here we found a
very interesting school. The spelling
lesson written upon the states, was ex.
ceedingly we'll done for such young
scholars, and the discipline of the
school seemed perfect. The exercises
in singing, under Miss Webster's direc.
ton, interrupted the, reading lesson
which was commenced soon after our
entrance and we had not time to await
it's resumption. rt.~.

From an Office Seeker.

=. WAsHINGToN, D. G. Mar. ~, 1877.
s. Dear SRI got here about the
Goth Of February, and have been on the
20 ever since. It was well understood,
all over the country, that President
Hayes would not turn out my Of the old
ofice-holders, except for cause, but it
seems that everybody who wanted an
Office thought that he, would have cause
to turn out the fellow whose particular
Office they severally wanted, for there
are enough Of us here and ''on file"
here to fill Ill tho Offices in the country
ten deep. 4 struck high. Nothing
less than \ seconc-olass ministerial po-
sition, the head Of . bureau, or first.
class consulate, would satisfy me when
I FIRST reached here. Now would be
content with the post Of messenger or
Waterman in one of the departments.
I would even put up with the c.
post Office, if they would advance me
the money to pay my way home to that
thriving burg. 4.s> ....
But what makes me maddest is the
way we are treated by the "present in
cumbents." They have utterly forgot
ten how it was with themselves four or
eight years ago, and regard US with
that peculiar don't-you-wish-y ou-were-
in-my-boots manner, which is so terri.
bly, affecting to the unfortunate. I
have hurt my hands by clinching them
to keep myself from opening on some
Of these supercilious wretches. The
truth is cannot stand it any longer, so
I have retired from politics, bought N.Y.
self trading outfit, and shall start
home afoot tomorrow, playing the part
of a peripatetic merchant in order to pay
my way. Mr.. Hayes may be a good
man and make a good President, and
all that, but I'll be hanged if it pays to
hunt Office under his administration.
By the way, you will hardly believe
what a number of democrats are here
expecting Office at the hands of M.
Hayes. They say that they under
stood the President intended appoint
ing only the every best men," and so
they came on in order to afford him
good opportunity to carry out his re-
form policy. They are very modest
gentlemen. I notice that the appli-
cants for Office generally who are now
here dissipate very little. Some who
have friends here, on whom they live
and some who have just arrived in
dulge more or less, but us old stand-bys
rarely take anything. We are 70.
formed; and, in my opinion, pretty
good way to reform a fellow who has
not gone too far ON the downward road
IS to reduce his f'cash on hand'' to
what his actually necessities require.
Us fellows, for instance, could not
drink if we would, unless somebody
should "set 'em up" for US.
If you like, I'll keep you posted OF
adventures on my route home, and I'll
know whether you want me by your
sending me dollar or two to EN-,
Maryland, where I shall stop for my
first rest. Yours truly, B. D.

MEANING OF AMEN.-A correspond
ent, writing from Lacon, ILL.,, sends the
following anecdote of boys attempt at
defining:
During the last winter there was re-
ligious interest at Varna, Ill. The pastor
Of the Methodist church, the Rev: Mr..
Deming, was in the habit of holding
daily children's meeting, at which the
boys and girls stopped for a few moments
on their way from school. In order to
interest and instruct the children, the
pastor presented variety of topics. One
day he asked the meaning of amen" :"
No one answered.
"You have often," said the clergyman,
"heard the brethren say Amen Amen !!
while some one was praying. What did
they mean Z? If any one knows let him
hold up his hand"
Up jumped little fellow, so eager to
answer as not to wait for recognition. Il
knoww he called out. "It means harry
ap and get through P
There was an audible smile, and many
of the elders, we have no doubt, felt that
the definition would be very useful it it
could be generally accepted, and "Amen"
used to shorten long prayers.

ter in charge, and have advertised for
proposals for an equestrian statue of Lee,
to be located in the Capitol Square at
Richmond. The models, &C., will be
opened or the first Monday in Septem-
ber for inspection, and on the third Mon
day the proposals will be opened and
considered, and three days thereafter the
award will be made, unless, in accord
with the privilege reserved, each and all
shall be rejected. 1 am informed by
Col. S. Bassett French, the Secretal Of
the Board of Managers, that he has al
ready received advice that several models
are now ready to be shipped to his order.
Every precaution will be taken to Sc
cure perfect and absolute impartiality,
and the artists names will not be made
known to the public or arbitrators until
their conclusion shall have been reached
and confirmed or rejected by the board
of managers.
Over one thousand persons are on the
floor, and the dresses and jewelry of the
ladies are superb, and surpass anything
of the sort ever witnessed here, not even
excepting the great Peabody ball in 1869.
It is estimated that the managers Of the
ball will realize about $4,000 as the pro-
ceeds of the ball, which will be turned
over to the board.
Among the gentlemen and ladies par
ticipating in the festivities are many of
fame and reputation both North and
South. Soldiers and civilians, mer-
chants, planters, bankers and profession
al men are here in great numbers. Col.
Wilson, of the Pittsburg round house
fame, represents the volunteers of the
North, while men of every profession, in
dustry and commerce attest by their
presence that this is no sectional affair.
It is needless to say that the South is
largely in the ascendancy where a tribute
is to be paid to Lee.

TUE IJsE OF BALLOONS IN WARFARE.

The USE OF BALLOONS IN WARFARE.
1t appears, from the report Of the re-
suit of series of experiments to deter
mine the utility of balloons for recon
noitering purposes, recently carried on
in Germany, and extending over a con-
siderable length of time, that after re-
peated trials balloon was constructed
that could be packed in a comparatively
small space, and carried about without
being damaged or rendered in any way
unfit for immediate use. A second diff
Guilty arose in providing portable appa-
ratus capable of supplying sufficient
quantity of gas for the imitation of the
balloon whenever and wherever it might
be required to use this latter. But this
impediment was likewise overcome, and
an apparatus was designed which could
generate, in from two to two and half
hours, enough hydrogen to raise bal
loon carrying three persons. Unfortu-
nately, however, there has been found to
be vet another obstacle in the way Of
using balloons for accommodating pur-
poses for which no remedy can as yet be
devised. From the height to which the
balloons must ascend useful observations
can only be made by the aid of tele-
scopes. The balloons must, however,
necessarily be Captive" that is, they
must be confined by rope and prevent
ed from drifting away, perhaps only to
fall into the hands of the enemy; and it
is found that when there is the slightest
current of air such captive balloon be-
gins to rotate about its vertical axis, and
this so rapidly as to prevent observations
being made with the necessary accuracy
and detail. Consequently the conclusion
has been arrived at that captive balloons
cannot at present be used for reconnoit-
ering purposes, and that, therefore, the
employment of balloons in war must be
limited to carrying dispatches and infor-

during the Revolution, and who was
often spoken of as the man who Con-
gress would appoint commander-in-chief
if Washington should be killed, was
reared in a blacksmith shop till he was
grown, with only such schooling as va
can't hours and winter nights afforded.
Schools, and particularly colleges, were
scarce in that age, and many of the men
who made their mark in that great strug-
gle orliberty were unlearned, in the COM
mon school phrase. To come nearer our
own time, the name of Andrew johnson,
of Tennessee, affords the most valuable
example to the young men of this day
that could be selected. He never went
to school a single day. At 81 he could
barely read. He married, and his wife
taught him to write. Poor, and his trade
tailor, yet he studied and thought, and
became alearned man. Starting in Office
as Mayor of his village, then to the Leg
islature, then to Congress, then Governor
of Tennessee, then President of the
United States. After his term as Presi-
dent was out, such was the confidence
reposed in him that his State elected
him Senator in Congress. While in that
Office he died. With a will and perse-
verance many may make themselves
learned and honored of all men, without
the aid of college or even school.
Whatever important proposition may
present itself to the young mind, prove
it to the bottom, and to all its ramifica-
tions before you quit it. You will learn

subject that will greatly benefit you in
