While the rivermen were in town
last week, one OF them seeing the

Prof. Samuel q. Bartlett of
Chicago has accepted an invitation
to deliver the Grafton at the Cen.
tennial Anniversary of the Battle
Of Remington. 1t was considered
proper that the State of Stark
should furnish the orator for that
occasion, as she furnished tho Gen

troops. Prof. Bartlett is a native

Bartlett, who fought at Benning-

be IL fitting one. The Grafton will

the 10th, which will lie peculiarly a
Vermont celebration, doubtless a
Vermonter will be chosen as orator.

woMEN's RIGHTS.
The National WOmen's Rights
Association held its annual meeting
in this city. Thursday last. These
meetings used to be very large and
enthusiastic, but the interest in
them has perceptibly declined. This
year Masonic Hall was not one'quar-
ter full. and it was hard work to
get up any steam at all. Isabella
Beecher Hooker was there, aud so,
likewise, Blake, and Austin, Lozier
and the regular stand bys. They
were all more anglar, more shrew-
ish, more petulent and more wasp
ish than ever. The usual papers
we're read, and the usual resolutions
adopted, and the ancient women
dispersed, probably never to meet
again. Ten years ago these same
women were petted and made much
OF, and they don't understand why
they are not how. They are better
developed, intellectually, than they
were, and better fitted to grapple
with grave questions. The poor old
girls don't seem to understand that
all this is precisely what is not want
ed. Men don't want women who
can ''grapple" with questions great
or small, or have any especial amount
Of intellectually. And then they
must remember that q pretty little

the present system, in Richmond, which has

No city in the Union has better teach
ers or more efficient school officers than
Richmond; and our people are to be con-
graduated upon the fact that these ladies
and gentlemen can be relied upon in every
respect. Mr. Alfred Moses, to whom we are
indebted for much OF the interesting! and
valuable information under the head 5of
Public Schools, is the efficient secretary OF
the Board, than whom it'would be hard to
IND more competent officer. Hehas wisely
administered the affairs OF his responsible
position during the year, and the Board are
to be congratulated in having secured the
services OF SO valuable an officer.

RICHMOND PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

We published inithe New-Y ears edition
OF the Dispatch for January, 1876, very
interesting history OF the public schools oil
the city Of Richmond, dating from its In.
auguration in the year 1869, showing their
rapid and solid growth, as also the general
popularlty Of the system, it having brought
TO its support in the short period Of seven
years all classes OF citizens within the
boundaries of the city. ~
j, The school session OF 1S75-'76 terminated
June Is. 1870. All the white schools held
their closing exercises at the Richmond
Theatre, which was packed from PIT TO
dome on each occasion. The same interest
was manifest at the colored school closing
exercises. The general opinion OF all who
witnessed these exhibitions was that pubic
schools were fixed institution, and ndis-
pensable in the city Of Richmond.

The above comparative table shows that
the city OF Richmond furnishes cheaper
public instruction than other cities equal to
it in population. The last reports at hand
from forty-nine cities show that the aver
age cost per scholar is S21.24, which is
S5.37 per scholar more than public educa-

A French machinist has discovered
that by keeping his turning tools con
stantIy wetted with petroleum. he was
able to cut metals and alloys with them,
although when the tools were used
without the oils their edges were turned
and dulled. The hardest steel can be
turned easily if the tools be thus wetted
with a mixture OF two parts of petroleum
with one part o~fturpentlne.
