a visit to Mr.. Davis by the Lee Benevo-
lent Association of this city, and was
made in response TO an address by Major
W.T.. Walthal, president Of the Associa-
ton, in introducing the visitors in a body.
Mr.. Davis is, and has been for some
time, residing at "Beauvoir," Miss, the
residence Of Mrs. Sarah A. Dorsey, on.
The Gulf coast, between this city and
New Orleans, where he is engaged pre-
pairing, with the assistance Of Major w,

The Lee Association was on an excur
sion to New Orleans, and the train was
halted near the Beauvoir place for an
hour or so, to give an opportunity for the
visit. Leaving the cars, We proceeded
about a half mile, through a picturesque
woodland pathway, to the Beanvoir man
sion, a large, square frame structure, We.
randaed, balconied and porticoed after
the Southern fashion, and almost hid
away in the groves Of orange, magnolia
and cedar trees. The house stands i'm.
mediately on the beach, where the blue
waters Of the gulf roll up to its very gates,
and is q beautiful enough place even for
an ambitious man to forget his blighted
hnnna.

Economy In the Public schools.


If he gentlemen who form our pres
ent School Board cannot reduce ex-
penses it is their duty to say so, and re-
sign. They get no pay for the duties
they perform and they can have no pc
cuniary interest in holding positions in
which they are liable to become very un-
popular. There is firm belief existing
and growing in the community that as
the cost of education per capita was a
few years ago about half what it now is,
there may be some way of reaching that
position again. And we are confident
the gentlemen who compose the Board
do not wish to impose themselves upon
the people out of whose earnings, after
all, must come the chief part of the ex-
pense Of supporting the schools.
No one can build house at the cost
it would come to at former prices for
work and material. And no houses will
be built until the cost comes down to
what house will sell for. Nor will cars
or ships, or engines be built at former
rates; or materials, shoes or clothing
be manufactured at former rates or
made up at the high prices. The
people could pay, and labor had to stop
until all the prices were reduced. Now
It is unreasonable to suppose that this
branch of labor any more than that of
other departments can hold up its prices
and be continued under the inflated war
rates. The clerk who was worth $500 a
year is glad to take 5000; and lie who
got 5000 is often glad to take S400; and
he who got S40O is very glad to get $500
some young men who are favorably sittl-
ated get no more tnan $500. This NAV
seem very hard but it is better than dc
ing, say those who have tried both. These
rates respectively per week are about s15:
sl2; IS; Sc, and 81. These are rates of
wages that are not thought high. But still
very few Of our mechanics receive en-
much now. Many men who have a
family have to get along on SO, s. and
50; without regard to loss time, whcl
also often falls heavy on them. If the
School Beard continues to pay imitation
prices for books, labor and whateve
orms the, expense account it cannot ge
along any cheaper. But as we said be
lore, the members can give the people, OF
the lst of April All opportunity to cleo
new board impressed with the idea O
economy; and willing to make an effor
% meet the wishes Of the mechanic
and laboring people whose cmldrel
must be educated; and educated well
This can be done and yet at prices a
which taxation will not complain unde
The cost, or if doing so do it withou
Eeasonable grounds therefor.

F-RAIsED; OR, From THE

sion Of" IsHMaEE; or, N FuE DEPTHS,
BY the same author, and is just tpublished
in book form, for tie .fisyt tinle, ~ large
'duodeciInO volumel of near seven hun
dred pages, by Z. B Peterson & Brothers
PhiladeInhia, in. uniform style with
"IsHMAEL" DR.. r. Shelton Mackenzie,
the Literary Editor of the Philadelphia
Press, agrees with Mrs. Southworth, in
saying that ''Self-Raised," and "ishmael,
are beyond all doubt, the best works she
has ever written. In ''Self-Ralsed,
"Ishmael WORTH" the hero rises from
the depths of poverty, misery and humi-
lation, and to trace his progress, step by
step, has been the authors labor OF love
There is a curious blending of realism
and romance in this work-the result, IL
may be, of the leading incidents having
occurred in actual life. The leading fe-
male characters, Claudia and Beatrice,
are drawn with woman's delicate and
accurate touches; but Ishmael, the sell
made man of mind las distinguished from
the lower class, who are "maue OF
money!, stands above every other person
in the tale. The interest is kept up ana
intensified by the dramatic positions
throughout the whole work. lt Is a
moral story, and one whlch addresses ~
self as giving an example of preserve
rance under difficulties and ultimate sue
cess. 1t is, we repeat, Mrs. Southworth's
best and greatest work, as 1t is strongly
marked BY all the merits of her style, is
an exceedingly interesting and powerful
story, and deserves great popularity, and
should be read by everybody. There Is
plenty of it, also, for. without any ad-
vance of price, it contains near seven
hundred pages. 1t is graced, too, with
view of Prospect Cottage. the home of
the author, on the Potomac, with its
surroundings, finely engraved on steel,
from a photograph taken on the spot
People ike to see the "countertelt re-
semblance" of writer who pleases them,
and as a splendid portrait of Mrs. South
worth was given In "Ishmael," view of
her Cottage, with its surroundings, on
the Potomac, in each copy of "Self-
