was held on Monday evening last, for
the purpose of selecting teachers for
the term which is to commence on the |
first Monday of next month. The |
teachers selected were Mr.. T. d. !

year, and Miss Ella Mays. The ques-
ton of securing a uniformity of books |
in our school came up, and Supt
Brockway was appointed committee
to ascertain what books were now in
use, and how many Of each series, to
report at a special meeting to be call
ed by the President Of the board.
Heretofore there has been a variety
of books in use, necessitating num-

good. They are most enthusiastic. The

reported that Generals Maxine, Gomez

aud well appointed force, have forced

in which over 600 Spaniards are said to
have been killed, among thema brigs-
der general, supposed to be Mendinina.
Since then another heavy encounter has
taken place aud considerable trepidation
prevailed at headquarters here. Three

EsrIVAL PARK.

A valued correspondent of the
LEDGER indorses its course in re-
gard to Sunday base ball, but
thinks we should go further and
attack the Sunday night concerts
at Estival Park. There is no com
parison between the two. Sunday
baseball, although attended by
some nice people, has a brutalizing
tendency, and is ruinOus to the
morals Of the youth who go there.
SO enormous has the evil become
that We have been constrained TO
make open, single-handed war upon
1t. There are u large class of peo-
pie IN our midst who regard the
Sunday night concerts as a disre.
gard Of the Sabbath This is
the strict orthodox view, and
while We entertain the high
est respect for it and those
who 80 hold, we have not vet
come to look upon these concerts
as an evil comparable to Sunday
baseball. On the contrary, the
music has a refining influence, in.
spring a taste for the harmoniOu
and beautiful. Quiet and orderl,
crowds Of ladies, gentlemen ant
children-many Of them educated
and elegant people-are in attend
ance, and nothing is seen to shocl
the sense of delicacy and prOpriety
except with those of rigid Sabbac
train ideas, and they, of course, d.
not attend, and are not seriousl
offended at the coming and gOin.
of the well behaved crowds.

FIGHTING 1T OVER.

The Battle of the Boyne was
fought on the 18th of July several
years ago-in 1890, if we are not
mistaken. The weather being warm
King James retired to the shade
and left the Irish chieftains to fight
it out. The boys went in on both
sides and one side got the worst Of
it for the time being. William of
Orange won the victory, though
his stubborn foe retired in good
order. The men engaged in that
fight were supposed to be all dead,
and the death of the last one was
announced in a reliable newspaper
long before the war. Everybody
believed that item, and gave the
paper credit for telling the
truth, but the sequel shows how
even the most pains-taking reporter
may be mistaken sometimes. 1t
seems that the survivors came to
this country and settled in a very
healthy part Of Canada, and that
these old gentlemen are in a good
state of preservation. The side
that won the fight concluded yes
terday TO celebrate the victory at
Montreal and other places, and
turned out with banners and rib
bons to make a parade. The other
side never having been entirely
reconciled to the result of the affair
in 1890 became enraged at the sight
of the yellow flags Of the Orange
men, and under the impulse of the
moment charged their old enemy
and put him to flight, Some people
were killed coming from church, and
Others wounded, but nobody scared.
Thus the battle OF the Boyne was
fought over again by our Irish
friends. 1t is a little family affair
rather difficult to understand by
any one but a student of Irish his
tory. 1t is no nearer settlement
than it was fifty or a hundred years
ago. Those who expect to live
until it is over should be careful of
their health. There is said to be a
religious controversy at the bottom
of it. Be this as it may, there is
undying courage and determination
on both sides, and neither will back
down.

Schenectady. 1t appears that on
the LIST of May last the total assets
of the company were $2,449,6S9,
and the total liabilities $3,445, 102,
a deficiency as regards policy.hold-
ers, of $l,005,4lS. For reinsuring
three other companies the officers
received from March, 1874, to De.
cember, 1876, a total Of $442 ,974,
in commissions, or nearly twice as
much as the entire assets of the
company at present. The officers
made sure of their enormous COM
missions, as usual in such cases,
while the innocent, misled policy
holders are left with the "bag to
hold" This is but another speci-
men Of the extrayagant and reck-
less management of life insurance,
as conducted by many companies
in this country. Everything goes
to build fine blocks, pay enormous
salaries and commissions. The
policy-holders too often find this
out after paying the premiums reg
ularly for ten or fifteen years.

). irwin be GOOD for The Paper.,,

There are many persons who Ia
Dor under the sweet delusion that
those affairs that Immediately con-
Germ themselves must be of i'm
mense interest to the rest of the
community. They are found in
city newspaper offices during the
hours that business is most press
ing and unsolicited interviews most
d~isagreeable. To argue with these
fanatics is to waste time needlessly,
for all the eloquence of a Grattan
or a Daniel Webster could not con-
vince them that they are not pres
ent in the editorial rooms, as the
benefactors of the papers. at is Il
most interesting article" they in
sist, sand, besides, it will be good
for the paper; it will get subscribers;
it will please everybody in our
block" The character Of the in
formation brought in by those de-
voted friends is peculiar. Yelled
jokes, which are about a half a
dozen people, whom the writer has
introduced into his mournfully hui
morous item. The men who have
fish to fry present an innocent state
ment about some new enterprise,

the fence, either at the beginning,

ways of special Importance to the
people. The mild, innocent being
who passes them over to the editor
is astOnished when informed that
his contribution isneither more nor
less than an advertisement. He at
first warmly insists that there is not
the least shadow of a puff in this
bit ofnews he gratuitously furnishes
to the paper for its own good, leav-
ing himself out of the question alto
gether. Then when tho Niger is
pointed out to him, he huns and
haws, and confesses that perhaps it
might appear to some readers as a
little favorably BIASED, and at last,
when the editor tells MIN that he is
much obliged but cannot accept the
contribution, the philanthropist
walks off Indignantly and declares
that he did once have a good opin-
on of the paper, and tried to help
it along; but he wasn't going to put
himself out of the way any more.
The number of people anxious to
help a paper along is surprising.
They are so earnest in this purpose
that they are not ayerse to having
their own names, business enter
prises, ETC., mentioned in connec-
ton with good work.-[San Fran

Vie ana Her Daughter.In-I.aw

/ remember once Of long
talk with the marchioness Of Ely,
the queens layorits lady, and l did
not gather, with all the honor Of
the position, that the life OF, the
lady in waiting is exactly to be
compared with the bliss of paradise,
though the queen of England is a
kindly and amiable monarch. Her
majesty, by the way, had one little
difference with her imperial daugh-
ter-in-law, the duchess of Edin-
burgh. The Russian princess, when
visiting the queen, appeared at
breakfast in a dressing gown. The
queen construed this careless attire
into a want of respect for the lady
of the castle, and spoke to the
duchess upon the subject with a
mother-in-lawish promptitude. Her
majesty dresses for breakfast, and
her daughters have always been ac-
customed to appear at that meal in
becoming attire. AS a rule, Eng
fish women dress more prettily for
breakfast than for any other meal.
The duchess accepted the queens
rebuke with becoming grace, and as
| have said before, her majesty con-
ceived a real love for the Russian
princess.
The education of Queen Victoria's
grandchildren is conducted on the
principle that the prince consort
introduced into the family. Par
ticularly is this true Of the children
of the crown princess of Germany.
They have to rise early and retire
early, During the day they have
punctually to perform their duties
and TO keep strictly the time allot-
ted to the various branches Of study
and recreation. They breakfast at
s with their parents, and the time
between 10 in the morning and 5
in the afternoon is devoted to their
lessons, with an interruption of one
hour for dinner. Accomplish
ments, such as dancing, riding and
skating, receive the same attention
rs art and science. Their meals
consists Of simple dishes, of which
they have their choice, without be-
ing permitted to ask for a substi-
tute if what is placed before them
does not suit. Between meals they
are not allowed to eat. Only ineI-
pensiye toys are placed in their
hands, and the princesses dress
themselves without the aid OF
dressing maids.
