Including the districts that have had
school, and the different rooms in our grad
ed schools, the number of different teachers
actually required for our schools is about
5000. The excess of 1881 over this num-
Der, indicates the number of persons that
teach only one term in districts that have
two or more terms within the year.
This practice of changing teachers every
term is detrimental to our schools. OF the
teachers last year 6O2, or u per cent, have
attended one of our State normal schools,
and 254, or per cent, are graduates Of
these schools. About thirty others are re-
ported as graduates of colleges and UNIVERSE

Mrs. J. S. Eammond.-"Belle
BOyd.'

This lady. who las been a resident
of Baltimore for the past three or four
wears. surrounded by an interesting
little family, has kindly consented to
give a reading next month III Iiamil-
ton, Ontario, Canada. The benevolent
institution in behalf of which she will
appear. and her qualifications for the
task she assumes, are thus fiatteringly
set forth in the Hamilton FreHiag
Times OF Monday last:
Tnis distinguished lady who has so
generously promised a dramatic enter
tdinment in aid of the st. Georges
Benevolent Society about the 26;h of
next month, has had a most romantic
history. Representing one of the most
ancient families of Southern chivalry,
she while vet a young girl, ardeutly
| espoused the cause of the Confederate
| States. She was then Belle Boyd,'
a name which at that time fired the
gallant hearts OF the Southern soldiers
as none other could. She became the
protege of the immortal Stonewall
| Jackson, who has left on record many
glowing eulogies Of her brilliant
achievements. and who conferred on
her the honorary rank of Lieutenant
Colonel as a souvenir of deeds of hero
ism, which George Augustus Sala, an
eyewitness, declared had elevated
Belle Boyd to tine proud position of
the Joan of Are of the American
War" Miss Boyd was at length cap
tured by the Federal troops and i'm
prisoned i'll Washington, from whence.
after a time, she made her way to Eu-
rope, and became there a notable per
SOnage in aristocratic society. The
author of Guy Livingston" was a
warm admirer of Miss Boyd, and she
figures as one of the dramatic PERSONA
IN his celebrated novel, BORDER and
Blstile." After the war Miss Boyd
was married to Col. is. Hammond, a
brave and distinguished soldier of the
Confederacy. For a short time previ-
Gus To her marriage, Miss Boyd APP
peared ON the stage in the principal
theatres of London, New York, ST.
Louis and New Orleans and every
where was recognized as Il star of the
first magnitude. Since her marriage
she has strictly devoted herself to do
nestle duties, only occasionally emer-
ring from retirement to assist some
charitable cause. Mrs. Hammond Is
a splendid elocutionist, interpreting
our great authors with the force and
power of true genius. She is herself a
poetess of no small ability, aud her
prose work, Belle Boyd in Camp and
Prison" is famous all over the world.

an arrow sticking closer To him than

How to Pay g Back Rent.

4 Frenchman named Courtade has
found a new way to pay a back rent.
He had been sued for arrears and
threatened with expulsion. He insis-
ted that the judge, the clerk, the
bailiff and the landlord should examine
the premises. These four men with
the landlords wife entered the yard
together and the tenant told them he
was willing to pay up, only he wanted
an extra grange and the well. He
said, I'll go and fetch the agreement"
and went into the house. He brought
back two guns and a pistol. Now,
he said, 1--WE are on the battle field.
We must all die here. These are for
youths for me-" And he pointed to
the arms in his hands. Come, come"
said the judge, kindly, "this is child
ishuess. Put down those arms Cour-
tade fired, and the landlord and the
Judge fell dead where they had stood.
The clerk and the bailitf followed
next. The landlords wife ran into the
house and locked the door. Courtade
followed her and fired through the
window. She had a child in her arms.
Both fell. He then walked quietly to
his own place and shut himself mp.
The house was soon surrounded. lie
tried to kill himself, but did not suc
coed. The four men in the yard were
dead. The woman, thanks to her pres
ence of mind, escaped. Courtade tried
to appear mad, but did not deceive the
doctors. He is terribly afraid Of dying
now. He hopes to have the sentence
of death commutel to hard labor for
life.

The question whether the number of
suicides in this country shows a yearly
increase is one which cannot be posi-
lively answered. There is no place
where sta istlcS of this character are
collected for the purpose Of obtaining
comprehensive and correct information
relative to the subject. The Bureau OF
Vital Statistics of the Health Depart
ment of this city annually receives re
ports from some of the principal cities
of the country showing the number
and causes of deaths, but these reports
are often imperfectly prepared, and IN
many instances afford no valuable aId
IN making up tables or even correct
statements in any form. Last year
there we're 14S cases of suicide in thus
