An IMroSroR's Dop0E. - Yesterday
morning n lean and hungry looking Cas-
sius dropped into Marsh's cigar factory,O
Water street, and told sorrOwiul story to
the proprietor. lie said he was a Stranger
in a strange land, without aduCat in his
pocket, and owing TO circumstances over
which he had no control, had tasted two
days. He was not O beggRr, and all lie
wanted was a chance TO work long enough
to earn a sufficient sum to notify by t6I0.
graph wealthy friends in New York Of his
condition. when q remittance would be
forthcoming at once,
Mr.. Marsh had no work that the fellow
could do, AID perhaps the visitor knew Il.
However, wishing - help a lellow-human
in distress, the big-heat::s:d tobacconist
said he would go with him to the telegraph
office and be responsible to the agent Tor
any dispatch he wished 10 send to his
friends. They proceeded to the Western
Union office, where the stranger wrote a
dispatch 10 Thomas Hamilton, Of Rondout,
New York, asking him TO forward him $50,
to which he signed the name, IN. Wheel.
err" The dispatch was sent, and in due
time an answer came from Thomas Ham.
ilton that he did not know any such man
as Wheeler, and would not pay for
his telegram, Accordingly Mr.. Marsh
paid for the first dispatch and returned to
his store slightly ~prejudiced against his
new acquaintance. Subsequently, Mr..
Marsh learned that the fellow who had
victimiEed him had registered at the Cen.
tral Hotel under the name OF W. S. VIII
son, claiming to be from California, and 4
printer by trade. The fellow did not
come back to receive the answer to his
dispatch, and his present whereabouts are
unknown. He no donbt expected to get
some money from Mr.. Marsh, and the
turn that gentleman's sympathy took did
not altogether answer his purpose, as it
waS without return so far as he was con-
cerned, and yielded him not a penny.

OVERCkOWDED SCHOOLS.

AN INSPECTION BEGUN-INTERvIEw WITH Sc
PERINTENDENT JAsPER-EvENING INsTRUC-
TON.
reporter of the HERALD yesterday called upon
John Jasper. Jr.. the new Superintendent OF City
Schools. with view of obtaining his views upon
the overcrowding of the public schools.
"That is subject" said Mr. Jasper. "that am
now giving special attention 10. With the aid Of
my assistants will to-day begin inspection Of all
the schools reported to be overcrowded and from
which children reported to have been turned
away, we'll those schools where it is believed,
many of these pupils can be placed. The inspection
will also the sanitary condition OF the build
ing Until have all reports am scarcely in posi-
ton to give opinion to the remedy that should
be applied. and would prefer not to do So
''But." said the reporter, 'in an interview had
with the late Superintendent Kddle, he spoke of
the Fifth ward. where. in North Moore street. the
school Is overcrowded, while the Vostry street
school, i'll the same ward, can accommodate 200
moro pupils. would like to know what you think
of the rule that permits children to apply tor ad-
mission to schools outside OF the ward district in
which they reside.
'In Boston" said Mr.. Jasper, children are not
permitted to go outside Of the district i'll which they
live while there Is room tor them III any of the
schools there II there be not room In the schools
OF tho district they must apply to the School Com
missioncrs for permission 10 enter other schools,
and must advance good reasons for the request l
WORK well here. It possibly might. in a measure
relieve the overflow in some schools. But have
not had time to give the matter my attention. When
these inspections are made may be able to offer
some suggestions.
TIE EVENING SCHOOLS
Mr.. Jasper was questioned as to the schools that
opened last evening. AS yet he has not secured
ports from principals rs to the number OF appt-
registered in tho past two weeks but from the
fact that the principals OF number of these schools
have made acquisitions for additional teachers ho
concludes that the applications exceed those OF last
year. The term covers eighteen weeks, or ninety
evenings tho hours OF instruction tor males being
from a quarter past seven to quarter past nine.
and for females from seven to nine O'Clock. There
is a ruIo that requires the principals to devote
half an hour each evening to arranging pupils in
classes and receiving applications. MIR. Jasper said
that, as many pupils could not leave their work
until late perhaps would be advisable to devote
one evening each week to applications and cassifca-
ton. and other evenings devote the entire time
to the imparting OF instruction.
