The CIoud on the RIO Grande.

The Administration has found
Sick Man on the Rio Grande War
talk grows louder at Washington a
we'll as at San A ntoniO aud Fort Clark
The Governments disclaimer of any
desire to annex Mexican soil recalls
the Czir's declaration that he did not
covet an inch OF Turkish territory
declaration which prcfaced his cross
ing of the Turkish frontier.
The line of the Rio Grande between
Mexico and Texas is thousand miles
long It is admitted that the lower
part of the river, for several hundred
miles, is now free from horse thieves,
aud that the successive Mexican com
manders of the Matamoras region have
aided in bringing about this result
But hundreds OF miles further up, aud
chiefly opposite to where, on the Tex
an side, the Rio Pecos and the Rio
San Pedro pour into the Rio GraDde,
there is a wild, mountainous region
utterly uDinhabited save by the Lipans
and other Indians who are engaged in
raiding on the Texan ranches
Now, if our Government is bent on
making trouble with Mexico, this con
dition of the Rio Grande will furnish
an easy ground of quarrel. If it in
sists on holding Mexico responsible
for every lawless crossing OF the river
by Indian thieves, it can always have
an excuse for invading Mexican ter
ritory.
To claim. however, that Mexico
should have a sufficient army of occu
patton on the Rio Graude to patrol aud
fully guard its entire right bank, Is
preposterous. Our own forces would
not pretend to do as much for the left
bank. Mexico has announced her
willingness to co operate in guarding,
As best she can, the enormous stretch
of uniuhabited country; but with a
recklessness which bodies i'll for her
future, she objects to being invaded
by our troopers.

LAWLFSsNEsS IN MISSISSIPPI AND MAssACuU
sETTs If Governor Stone, of Mississippi, is
correctly reported in our te1egraphc summary
of an interview which be is said to have had
with o correspondent of the Memphis AudldHchS,
he considers himself to have done all that the
laws of Mississippi allow the executive to do
in the matter of Dripg gipg the "Kemper County
rioters" to justice. He went in person to tho
scene of the riots, and requested the Circuit
Judge TO call extra session OF the Court at
once and put the accused parties on their trial
His opinion is that jury in the county can
be found to convict the accused, and IL this
should prove to bs the case it will clearly be
his duty to his State TO take other steps
Meanwhile we shall doubtless hear q great
deal in the Northern Radical papers about the
1a Wless and awful condition of Mississippi. 1t

an IMPORTANT PUBLIC SCHOOL DE-
CISION.

Not long since Mr.. Charles Hallett, o mill
owner of Riverhead, L. 1. directed his son Carl,
apnpii OF the Union Free School of that town.
not to declaim when ordered to do so by the
teacher. For this young Hallett was expelled
and the Board of Education confirmed and
approved the action of the principal in expel-
ling him. Mr.. Hallett then sued the Board of
Education, and the case, which was recently
decided by Justice Pratt of the Supreme Court
and jury, has excited considerable attention
because of the important educational principle
involved. Mr.. Hallett, who ex preesly instruc-
ted his counsel not to press for damagess, but
simply to get decision on the question oflaw,
son should, or should not, be instructed in
certain studies, provided they are not included
in the statutory list.
In his charge to the jury Justice Pratt took
tue ground that the parent, knowing the teui-
permanent and capacity of the child, had the
undonbted right Co prescribe what he should
and what he should not study, SO long as he
did not interfere with the statutory list.
Hence, when the principal, with the approval
of the Board of Education, expelled young
Hallett he exceeded his authority. Still,
both the board and the principal acted in good
faith, snpposing that they were authorized to
carry out what was thought to be beneficial
rule.
The charge continues; "I am constrained to
hold the law to be that, where there is an ir-
reconcilable difference of opinion between the
teacher-or the Board of Trustees-and the
parent, in regard 90 a study which is not in-
cluded among those that the trustees are em-
powered to prescribe, the will of the parent
must control. l think that the law has not
taken away the natural right of the parent to
control the education of the child In that re.
gard. When the teacher trustees under |
take to say that child shall pursue O partic. |
ular study which s not included in the atatu- |
tory list of studies. think they exceed their |
authority. And when that is made the basis |
Of an attempt to deprive the child of its right |
to attend school end enjoy the benefits |
which arise from the laying of o common bur |
den upon the community, bold that they are |
liable-technically lable-for the acCD
The jury awarded nominal damages to Mr..
aallett. This was considered test case, and
the rulings of Justice Pratt are sustained by
decisions IN other States.

ROME.
London Register, May ~.

Lonuou NSRloter, May
l. The Holy Father undergoes the enor-
nous fatigue now forced upon him day
after day in giving audience to the multi
tudes of pilgrims thropgipg into Rome, in
manner that is little less than marvellous.
Although upon the verge of his eighty
sixth year, his Holiness is every forenoon
able to descend from the portable chair or
throne in which he is conveyed from his
private apartments to the door of the
grand suit of audience, whence with firm
step and apparent ease, ard without the
assistance of q cane to support him, he
passes round the whole series of crowded
halls, giving his sacred hand to be kissed,
and addressing gentle words to the pill
grims. Advancing to his throne ON Satur-
day, when receiving the 1900 pilgrims
who were assembled in the principal hall,
the Pope, seating himself there, received
the animated and devoted address deliver
ed in French by the Count de Demas.
Afterwards rising up, his Holiness, in re-
ply, pronounced impromptu, with tender
emotion, in French, discourse remar ka ble
for it's majestic vigour and delicate point.
Then, with his accustomed fervency and
sweetness, he impaired to all the Apostolic
Notwithstanding, at the same time,
as usual, the Papal blessing and indul-
gence to the medals, cruciixes, rosaries,
and other objects of devotion brought
there by the pilgrims.
The English pilgrims, on Thursday af-
ternooD, we're solemnly received in audi
ence at the Vatican by the Holy Father
the venerable, white robed figure seated
upon the Pontifical throne having at the
time ranged around it, on either hand, a
scarlet and purple throDg of Cardinals,
Bishops, and Monsignori. Four Prelates of
the English Hierarchy and a number of
priests were in the deputation, the lay
members of which, to the number of about
100, were headed by his Grace the Duke |
of Norfolk, hereditary Earl Marshal and |
Premier Duke of England. The Address /
presented to his Holiness by the English
Catholics was published, by anticipation,
on Tuesday in the Voce della Verita. The
document bore nearly lalf a million, or, to
be exact, 466, I56 signatures. 1t was joy
to all Rome, at the moment of these arri-
walls of pilgrims from England, France,
Belgium, Savoy, and numberlees other
more or less remote, to learn,
from a most welcome announcement just
issued from the Vatican, that once more
for the first time since Is7O-there will be
the celebration of high mass at
the High Altar of st. Peters A special
Bull, in point of fact, has been issued by
,he Holy Father delegating his Eminence
Cardinal Boromeo to ofticate in his (the
Pope's) stead upon the occasion of the
grand function of the 2Ist in the Vatican
3asilica. The vacant throne in the sane
usry will have about it on that day pro-
ound and pathetic Significance.

sTRANGELY PRoFHnTrc.-The Irish Monthly
is publishing reminiscences of Richsrd Dalton
Williams, the graceful poet who first made q
reputation in the old Natio" over the signature
of of"Shamrock." The author of the sketches in
the Monthly relates in the current issue, and
in q footno5e. a curious instance of fulflled
prophecy. We give the note in full: ain the
course of my Shamrock gathering explora-
tions, have come across what seems TO be a
very euriously verified prophecy, A squib,
called Lord Clarendons Pound published in
the Nation of November 29tb, 1851, contains
these lines:
Great Dan and De Grey gone from uS
That the fret is in heaven let us hope
And the other-do you think may promise
One day will come round to the Pope.
Twenty years after, this nobleman did come
round to the Pope not in person, but by his
representative; for Lord De Grey is now
Marquis of Ripon." Whoever manufactured
tho squib could hardly have offered the sugcc
geetion seriously-indeed the atmosphere of
sauibs and lampoons is not favorable TO
