PERSONAL AND IMPERSONAL.

Complaint is made by parties living North
Of the railroad track about the depredatlons
of loose stock in that part of town. One
gentleman informs us that three horses broke
into his enclosure on Thursday night, tramp
| ling flowers under foot and doing considerable
damage. There is an ordinance against per
hitting stock to run loose within the city
limits, and it ought to be enforced, and
doubtless will when Officer st. Clair's atten-
ton is called to it.
Dwight Crittenden, one of the heavy Com
stock operators, went up on yesterday morn
ing's train to Virginia City.
State Superintendent Kelly, just from the
Great East, passed through yesterday morn
ing to Virginia City, where he was to award
diplomas to the pupils of the High School,
accompanying himself with a little speech.
Looked well after his journeyings through
sage-brush and alkali.
Among the returned ones yesterday from
the Lake were r. NJ. Huston and L. L.
Elrod, OF the Mint, who report three or four
days of good time up there. Carson, they
say, is well represented at all the points
around Bigler.
Yesterday excursion train to Reno was
discouragingly light Conductor Hobart re-
ported seven passengers from Virginia City,
one of whom got off here, none from Gold
Hill, and thirteen Carsonites purchased
tickets at the office here. This is not very
strong encouragement to railroad managers to
put on excursion trains for the accommoda-
ton of excursionists. But to get people to
60 thirty miles or more to see a race these
times, there ought to be highly attractive
racing programme, and candor compels us to
say that in this matter the Reno people have
not done justice to themselves.
That gathering about the Curry Engine
House yesterday was over the arrival of new
bell for the Company, just received from the
bell foundry of W. T. Garratt, San Fran
CISCO When the Currys disbanded about
year ago, they presented their bell to the pub
lie school. But having recognized, the Com
pany have purchased this new bell, weighing |
twelve hundred pounds, Of which they gave |

THE KINDERGARTEN EAAM1 NATION.

| THE KINDERGARTEN EXAMINATIONS
! The little folk who comprise Miss Babcock
| Kindergarten class underwent their annua
examination yesterday. 1t is the happies
school-fu of scholars that anybody ever saw.
The exercises are the most sensible and i'm
proving of any system ever invented. The
Kindergarten adapts Itself to the nature OF
children, sympathises with it, moves with its
motions, develops with its developments,
grows up with it. All other systems insist,
primarily and arbitrarily, that the nature of
the child shall adapt itself to its own require
ments. We do not believe in bending the
twig out of its natural course and inclining if
that course be healthful and comely 1t is
the instinct and expression of true childhood
to play. Little boys and girls can be beguiled
into knowledge of letters and words under
the pleasant DISCUSSES adopted by this system.
There is a deal of hard work in what is called
play. The kindergarten relieves play of much
of its righteousness and turns it into the little
walks which converge upon the broader paths
of usefulness and practical life. One always
reads with pleasure the very excellent literary
notices in the Atlantic Monthly. The critl-
cism is sharp, clear, and more or less convinc-
ing. In the customary notes upon Recent
Literature in the July number of that period
cal we have the following statement of con-
illusions regarding the kindergarten: cit is
l.: IL ;,.I4 +6o+ 10
ton of our public schools tends to discipline
and order; that the drill of the school room,
the marshaling in ranks, the prompt answer,
the evolutions, are all forces in education as
well as helps to government, and that princl-
pies of public life are thus taught. But we
claim higher ground in this respect for the
kindergarten. Obedience as taught by the
system of the public schools is an obedience
to rules; it is to be likened more closely to the
obedience of the soldier,-a noble thing, but
not the highest form of human subsection of
the will. Obedience as evolved III the true
kindergarten is a conscious obedience to law.
In the one case the will is broken; in the other
it is guided into subordination to a higher will
asserting itself in reason. 1t is not asserted
that in the public school system there is often
given training which issues in self-govern-
ment the good teacher is always better than
the best system, and many teacher in our
primary schools is a true gardener; so the sys-
em of the kindergarten will not prevent play
rom degenerating into purposeless mechan-
SIN under the hand of foolish teacher 1t
5 claimed that government in the public
schools is far more natter Of rule and regu-
alton. and therefore Incapable Of developing
he highest power Of order and sef-goyern-
nent; tuat government in the kindergarten
made ali essential part of the education OF
he child; and that the art IF living with

Yesterday afternoon, when about ten miles south
west OF Squan Beach, the crew Of the fishing
smack George W. Rodgers noticed what they
supposed TO be u small whale from the regu-
larty Of its "blow." A yawl manned and
chase given. When the yawl approached near enough
TO permit the use OF the harpoon II was discovered
that the origin Of the blow" not that Of whale
but something In the shape OF turtle It's color
was let black. 1t struggled SO freely that no
account was taken OF It's other pecuiiarities, the
men beng intent It's capture. Not
until IL had been harpooned in several places the
supposed turtle secured II was towcd to the smack
and hoised deck when all HANDS were asonished TO
