The Proposed School Law.

The new school law which it is pro
posed to submit 10 the legislature, mas
been published i'll the olympia .>tojs-
dcwd.. 1t is quite lengthy, ana intro
duces features which have Teen hereto
fore untriei i'll the business OF iucation
i'll this Territory. Our space Will not
permit the publication of the document
in these co umnS, but a short sketch
will be practable, and such we give be-
low.
The bill first provides for the office of
TERRITORIAL SUPERINTENDENT,
and provides among other things, that he
shall travel in the different counties
during three months in the year FOR the
purpose OF visiting schools, consulting
Superintendents and of addressing pub
lie assemblies on subjects pertaining to
public schools He is allowed $500 !or
his expenses, and his salary is fixed at
5000 per annum. He shall attend
Territorial Teachers Institute once
year, and shall be ex-oifcio President
of the Board OF Education. The bill
then provides that Il
BOARD OF EDUCATION
shall be elected at the general election
in 1873, composed of one person from
each Of the three Judicial Districts of
the Territory. One to be elected for
two years, one for four years and one
for six years. And at every election
thereafter, one member shall be elected
for the term of six yeaas. This Board
is to hold semi-annual meetings at the
capitol, and shall have power to author
ize a series of text books to be used in
the public schools, and to provide rules
for the government of the schools
They shall grant lie diplomas and Ter
ritorial certificates. The lie diplomas
emitting the holder to teach in any
public school during life. The territor-
ial certificate shall entitle the holder to
teach in any pubic school for the term
of six years. The proposed law gives the
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT
power and makes it / is duty to visit
each school i'll his county at least once
each year, to enforce the course of study
adopted by the Territorial Board of Ed
ucation, make an annual report, appor-
ton the school funds, etc, etc; and
shall receive a salary of ten dollars per
annum and no more, for each district
school in his county visited by him once
during the year, with mileage the same
as Sheritl's, to be paid quarterly the
same as other county officers are paid.
1t is made his duty to ho,d county
teachers Institutes. The provisions of
the law relative to
SCHOOL DISTRICTS
are very full and comprehensive. 1t

An Interesting Scene.

To persons unused to such scenes, Il @
feet OF canoes which were ahoat on Il G
bosom of Puget Sound, Saturday, WI
one of peculiar interest, and to ''the old
est settler, not without its usual inter
est a light northerly wind was stil-
ring Il gentle ripple on the sound, and
the atmosphere was quite pleasant.
Within view from this city, there were,
at one time, fifty canoes, each of which
had its sail spread to the breeze, head
ing for the mouth of the Puyallup riv-
er. Each canoe represented family
OF from three to six or seven persons.
An inventory of the cargo of one canoe
would have shown, perhaps, men, wo-
men, children, dogs, chickens, guns,
fishing lines and spears, games for gam
bling purposes, cooking utensils, blank
cts and other property incident to In
dian camp life; and this would be a
fair sample OF what was contained in
the other forty-nine canoes. The Sc
attic Dispatch describes the smallest
one OF these canoes as follows: "A
canoe about ten feet long, and net
more than as many inches wide, left Oh e
CT the wharves this morning loaded as
follows: One siwash, one klootchman,
two sacks OF flour and lot of other
muck muck, and a complete camping
outfit, weighing altogether probably not
less than 300 pounds. The canoe was
certainly not one inch out Of the water. y
In response to a call for hop pickers,
these Indians have come to the Valley.
and they will remain there until the
close OF the hop picking season, which
viii last but tor few weeks. About
$4,000 will be distributed to hop pick
ers In this county within the next thir-
ty days which sum will be divided
among Indians and Chinese picker.

One of the Changes at the
White House.

Jerry, who was Mrs. Grants foot
man, is about the handsomest darkey
who ever rolled his eyes. A magnif-
cent figure, over six feet tall and
broad in proportion, but 1.-THE and ac-
tive; fnely shaped head, well
poised;a a moustache and imperial that
a prince would be proud of, and fine
y-cut features; face as black as mid
night. 1t is not Jerry's manly beau
ty alone that makes him eminent as
footman, but his general accomplish
ments and perfect manners. When
there is business in hand, people of
importance to usher or escort out,
Jerry blooms in all the grandeur of
his magnicence. When there is a
delegation of citizens or citizenesses
from the country, who are suspected
Of having loose change concealed
about their persons, inspecting the
White House, Jerry rises with the oc-
cassion. and Lord Chesterfield would
blush at his own boorishness.
On reception days at the White
House for the last eight years, in
swallow tail and white kid gloves,
Jerry assisted Mrs Grant, and was the
most diStinQte feature Of the enter
tainment. He knew the face and
name OF every person worth knowing,
and had penetration enough to see
that it pleased the average member
of Congress to hear his name spoken
by so eloquent an usher as he cntert
the White House door. "Ah. a col
ored member of Congress, strangers
would say as they noticed his elabor-
ate attentions to distinguished people;
"a fine looking man, isn't he? and he
seems to know everybody, too"
To see Jerry usher party of ladies
from the White House vestibule to
their carriage is worth long journey;
and it was better than looking at
King. to see him on the box of ex-
President Grants carriage, with his
arms folded, his eyes straight before
him. as calm as Buddha and as mo-
tionless.
But this is a pleasure of the past.
Jerry is dying of broken heart. He
is still retained at the White House,
but is compelled to perform menial
labor, and goes around with a checked
apron tied about him, rubL>ng up the
door knobs and mantel ornaments
with piece of chamois skin. HUI
inflated, depressed, broken in spirit,
he is dropping like wilted flower

MY CREED.
By JOHN @. WHITTIER.

/ hold that Christian grace abounds
Where charity is seen; that when
We climb to heaven, It's on the rounds
OF love to men.
hold all else named piety,
A selfish scheme, vain preten3e;
Where centre is not, can there be
Circumference?
This I moreover hold, and dare
Affirm where'erc my rhyme may 20;
Whatever things lie sweet or fair
Love makes them so.
Whether it he the lullabcs
That charm to rest the nesting bird.
Or that sweet confidence of signs
And bushes without word
Whether the dazzling and the flush
or softly sumpt,tous garden bowers,
Or b. some cabin door bash
OF ragged flowers.
IT'S not the wide phylactery,
Nor stubborn iact, nor stated prayers,
That makes Us saints; we judge the tree
By what it bears.
And when a man can live apart
frUm work, ON tncOluyic t,ust,
] know the blood about his heuit
Is dry as dust.

condemnation of Gambetta. J..

On appeal in the case of Gambetta it has
been shown that in the higher as in the
lower courts OF France the subserviency Of
the judges was equal to the demands of the
government. With ready haste the higher
court has come to the assistance of the
Ministry to guard against the contingency
that ''the laws delay" might defeat the OPP
pressive intentions of the govern
mcnt by giving the opportunity to cover
the victim with the privileges Of
delegate That possibility now no longer
exists, for the condemnation as first pro-
nounced is definitely affirmed and the
sentence must take effect. AS the legal
points are given in the despatch the appel
liant certainly makes a singular argument.
He is represented as reasoning against the
competency of the Court and demanding a
trial by jury. TO appeal to Court and
then hold that it has not jurisdiction of
the point appealed is SO irrational thet
there is probably an error in the state
ment 1t would be fortunate for the
some error in its relation to this case. But
that is only too plain and clear 1t de-
monstrates to the French people that the
freedom of speech and of the press which
are nominally guaranteed by their laws to
every citizen not possessed as rights, but
only enjoyed as privileges at the caprice OF
authority. Ifthis does not prove last drop
in the bucket, and so swell the indignation
against the government, already great, as to
give the elections to the republicans by an
overwhelming majority we shall be greatly
surprised.
