THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
A Circular from Superintendent
Thompson.

"A circular from superintendent
Thompson.
Captain Thompson has issued the
following circular letter to the
school commissioners of the several
counties. Their attention is par
ticularly directed to the third
paragraph :
OFFICE OF STATE SUp'T OF EDuc'N.,
COLUMBIA, S. c., March 27, 1878.
TO the School Commissioner o.
County
SIR Tho act to amend tho school
law, passed at the recent session of
the Legislature, will be printed as
speedily as possible and copies will
be furnished tho several county
school commissioners. It will not
be possible in circular to indicate
the changes of the law. No altera-
tions have, however, been made
which will interfere with the man
agement Of the free public schools
now in operation. The law pro-
vides that the school commissioners
shall be paid out of the school fund
in the respective counties. The
salaries for this year cannot, there
fore, be paid until the taxes are
collected.
In answer to many inquiries on
this subject, I would state that no
act has been passed. to prohibit
county school commissioners from
approving teachers pay certificates
ut the expiration of each month, rs
now provided by law.
L would advise you to urge the
teachers in your county not to sell
their certificates for less than their
face value. AS soon as the taxes
are collected tho teachers will be
paid in full for ell work done during
this fiscal year, if the boards of trus,
tees have observed the caution given
in my circular Of December Oath,
1877, and have not made contracts
in excess of the School Fund. RI
would request that you make every
possible effort to secure the teachers
against loss by advising them to
hold their certificates until they can
be paid at the County Treasury.
Acts have been passed authorizing
tho levying Of a special tax to pay
past due claims in several counties
If the State, but no general law on
this subject has been enacted. Act
No. 465, to provide for the pay
ment of the past due school claims,
approved March 3, 1874, has het n
repealed, and IL joint resoluti n
hls been passed, directing trat
all unexpended balances of tie
School Fund shall be applied to
meet the school expenses of this
fiscal year, except in those counties
in which the payment of past duo
school claims has been provided for
by special acts.
I would advise that no further
payments, except for school claims
of the current year, be made until
you can obtain a copy of the acts
passed by the Legislature at it's last
session. Very respectfully,

Of the Legislature, has got into
new trouble. Some time ago he
bought watch from Mr.. B.
Visansha, of Columbia, paying for
it part in cash and giving for the
balance an order on the Clerk of
the House. Afterwards he went to
the Clerk and instructed him not to
pay the order, and payment was
accordingly refused. Then Prince
was indicted for obtaining goods by
false pretenses. The case was tried,
at Columbia, Tuesday, and Prince
was convicted. On Wednesday he
was sentenced by Judge Shaw to
pay fine Of fifty dollars and costs,
and to DO imprisoned for three
months in the Richland county iail.

Remarkable Presenttment.

In March last, while the ill-fated United
States steamer Huron was lying in the har
bor of Port Royal, South Carolina, Lieut..
Arthur H. Fletcher, her executive officer,
left the vessel on twenty-four hours leave
of absence, and, failing TO return at the ex-
piration of that time, the ship sailed to an
other port without him. A few days after
Mr.. Fletcher returned to Port Royal, reported
to Commodore j. H. B. Cliz, ''senior naval
officer present." and stated to him that for
some time past he had a presentiment that if
he went to sea in the Huron for the purpose
of finishing the cruise (two years)h would be
wrecked. This feeling took complete posses
sion of his mind, and he used every means 10
get detached; but the Navy Department re-
fused to order it without u better reason.
When he found that all his efforts had failed,
he left the Huron in the manner stated, with
the intention not to return. For this he was
placed under arrest and tried by court mar
tial, at Washington Navy Yard, in August
last In defense he made a statement in
substance as above, and called Commodore
Clitz, Commander George p. Ryan, of the
Huron, and other officers, to prove that be-
fore leaving the ship he had told them OF the
dread-in fact, horror-he had of finishing
the cruise IN the vessel. This is matter of
record, on file in the Navy Department, and,
though such line of defense was laughed at
when made, the fate of the Huron will cause
many superstitious people to think that Mr..
Fletcher's premonition was fully proven to
be a true one by the wreck off Kitty Hawk,
North Carolina. Washington Republican.

An Essay ON Woman.

The undomesticated editor of the Neacport
Local thus relates his matrimonial expert
ence: "A woman is mighty handy. thing
to have about the house. She doesn't cost
any more to keep than you'll give her, and
she'll take great interest in you. 1t you 60
out at night, she'll be awake when you come
home, and then she'll tell you all about your
self, and more too. Of course she'll know
where you've been, and what kept you out
so late, and will tell you yet, right after she
gets through telling you that, she will ask
YOU where you have been and what kept you
out so late. And after you tell her. and she
won't believe you, you mustn't mind that; and
if, after going to bed, she says she hasn
closed her eyes the whole night, and then
keeps up the matinee two hours longer ana
won't go to sleep when she has chance, you
mustn't mind that, either; it's her nature.

Paving TOO Much for u Pew.

A stranger recently located i'll an eligible
pew in q fashionable church in New York,
and had quietly ensconced himself in we'll
upholstered corner, which offered all posi-
BILE facilities for sound nap, when the owner
entered. He was alone and there was room
enough and to spare, for the day was rainy
and the congregation sparse. Indignant,
however, at the presence of the intruder, the
owner waited patiently for the singing OF the
hymn, and then quietly handed the book to
the visitor, with this welcome written on the
fy-leaf: II pay $500 a year for this pew. J"
that the door was just wide enough for an
immediate exit. He was a bit startled at first,
but soon handed the hymn-book back with
this answer: ''You pay altogether too much;
why don't you move out?" The result was
that neither of the combatants was edited by
the sermon.
