yesterday TO ascertain whether the company

The city could afford TO be lenient but he pre-
ferred TO refer Mr.. jackson TO Administrator
Diamond, who bss special charge of

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
THE smOEDLACK LICENSE.

An individual applied yesterday at the Treas
ury Department in the City Hall, TO inquire VIVA,
WAS the license tax on shoeblacks, saying, At The
same time. that he intended to go into the bust
ness very soon. He was informed by the license
clerk that, out Of respect for public opinion and
ne well for the hoporabty OF the profession,
which contains 10 many shining lights, IL had
been many years since no license tax had been
imposed on shoeblscks. The fact was repeated
once or twice TO the applicant, who still fingered
IN doubt and with detected oountenanoe around
the desk Of Mr.. Mcpherson.
At first In answer to question, he replied
chat nobody had told him that he must FIRST oh.

but subsequently said that he had 40 been in

the French Market. The man appeared 20 be
very much In earnest. tfhis story be true, IL is
sad commentary on the intelligence Of the police
man he refers to. aud II We were living under the

THE LESSEE TAYLOR EXPLOSION.

And Now It's Said the Government Ii
Not Responsible.
The Lessie Taylor explosion investigation was
resumed yesterday before the Local Board Of In
spectors, the only witness called upon being Mr..
Elisha M. Stats, chief engineer OF the steamship
Hudson.
Mr.. Stats testified that
THE PIECE OF BOILER
shown him had been overheated, and he did not
think that it would be safe with press IRE of
over eighty pounds Of steam. He thought that
under all circumstances the chief or first engineer
Of a boat was the proper person to take charge
OF the donkey when the main boilers were being
inspected, and did not consider the local inspector
responsible for any accident that might occur to
the donkey boiler.
The Board Of Local inspectors on Friday last
addressed letter to Capt. Kenison inviting
him to furnish 3 list of such persons as he would
like to have examined. but up to last evening no
reply had been received nor had list been fur
nished. 1t ia now stated upon the authority of a
legal gentleman we'll versed in such matters, that
action for damages in the case OF the late ex.

Matters and Facts Connected Herewith
That Are Important.
No information has yet been received from the

when they will reach here. Major Upper in

at Atlanta. Montgomery, and other points in

with the people of those places. Those States
have the same csim-the shortest water route

the two claims may be joined in the same bill.
Major Tupper's visit will be entirely in the
INTERESTS or THE BRAZILIAN MAIL LINE,
and to secure at least portion Of the proposed
subsidy for New Orleans. He tells us, and the
information 10 authentic, that the Brazilian gov

LOQUET-LEROY INSTITUTE.

The kindergarten exercises Of the Loquet-
Leroy Institute took place yesterday morning al
the institute. A large number of the parents
and friends OF the children we're present and
evidenced much appreciation at the prog ress
made by the little ones, az they reflected much
credit upon their teacher, Mrs. N. Cooper.
The kindergarten, the Froebel system, wal
first introduced by Miss 8. L. Blow, in the Ameri.
can schools, which is more clearly explained by

by that lady before the Normal Teachers Asso.
citation, in st. Louis:
at ia truth now universally recognized b,
educators that ideas are formed in the mind Of q
child by abstraction and generalization from the
facts revealed to him through the senses; that
only when he himself has perceived Of the vi ible
and tangible properties of things can serve az
the basis of tn ,ught and that upon the vivdnest
and completeness Of the Impressions made upon
him by external objects will depend the clearness
OF his differences and the correctness of his iudg-
ments. 1t is equally true, and generally recog.
nized, that IN young children the perceptive
faculties relatively stronger than at any later
period, and that while the understanding and
reason still sleep the sensitive mind is receiving
those sharp impressions Of external things which
held fast by memory, transformed by the imagin.
alton. and finally classified snd organized through
reflection, result in the determination of thought
and the formation Of character.
The practical basis Of the kindergarten
method is expressed in the formula We learn
Froebels that the world is sick with thinking and
can only be cured by acting; and accordingly in
the kindergarten free activity is the essential
thing. The children roll and throw their balls
build with their blocks and lay figures with the
sticks; they fold, they sew, they weave, they
model, and gradually the labor Of the hand clears
the thought Of the mind. and by using objects al
material for work their properties and powers arc
learned. In this lies the great difference between
Pestalozzi and Froebel; for while the objec,
lessons OF the former appeal directly to the
powers OF observation, the latter realized
that children would never carefully and exhaus.
lively observe any object with which they were
not practically occupied Children in the Kinder.
garten observe, because they are constantly try
ing to reproduce; and their failure to attain salts
factory results causes them to notice objects
more and more carefully. Another excellent result
of Froebers demand that the child shall learn
through doing, is that it eectuslly prevents that
rapid acquisition Of superficial knowledge whioh
is the bane Of the present age. 1t is true tina,
the path of learning should be made pleasant; il
is not true that it should be made 80 smooth
