When the report of the recent ex-
animation of applicants for teachers
certificates held in this county was
published, Mr.. Bray, of Gold Hill,
and other teachers of Storey county,
took exceptions to one of the tests
applied because, they said, 1t was not
"written history" and if the appli-
cant answered according to his po-
litical bias, he was apt TO be blocked"
ten points by the examiners, who
might be of different political
faith. The teachers above referred
to misunderstood the question; it
called for statement of fact, and
not for an expression of opinion.
Furthermore, it Is written history, as
can be ascertained by reference to
page 1888 Of Anderson's School His
tory Of the United States, where,
under the head ELECTION of Hayes
to the Presidency" the following
may be seen:
AS the Constitution did not clearly
provide any means of settling the
dispute, commission was formed to
decide questions at issue, and thus
aid in counting the votes. This body
having given its decisions, the Presi-
dent Of the Senate, in the presence
of both houses of Congress, assem-
bled in joint convention, declared
Mr.. Hayes to be the President elect !;
and William A. Wheeler, of New
York, the Vice President-elect.
And, below, in a foot-note, the
following:
The Commission called the Elec-
toral Commission was composed of
fifteen persuasive members of the
Senate, five of the House of Repre-
sentatives, and five Associate Justices
of the Supreme Court.
The question did not, however, af-
feet the applicants detrimentally, as
they were allowed ten points each
the maximum-fo their answer.

Effect of Rise fin Mining stocks.

The present rapid rise in mining stocks moves a San Francisco editOl to get off the following:
 Mining stocks continue to " boom, , and there Is every prospect of har yesting a new crop of millionaires This delights us, and throws a rosy glow of real sunlight over everything The horse market is reviviDg, and as soon as the summer winds are over, ouI Golden Gate Park and ocean drive will be filled with fast pairs and fours-in. hand, with drags and tandems. This rise comes just in time for fall bonnets and gewgaws of French fashion. If there is anything we delight in it is the millionaire; and if there is one kina of millionaire that pleases us better than another, it is new one. Old wine, old families, old books, old pic lures, old china, old silver sets of sol Id bullion, old family mansions, with their traditions, are well; but new mil lionaires are something superlaiively charming, with theIr new clothes, new airs, new carriges, new houses They make the money fly and make every. body happy.
 Pima county is growing some mil liOnaires in Tombstone, Aztec, Gro Blanco and other districts. Happiness is cropping out on a number of coun- tenances. New clothes and airs, new carriages, new houses are evidently in their minds eye. Perhaps all will not succeed a. they expect to do, but all levity aside, the prospect that some will is very bright.
