ACTORS JUDGES OF PLAYs.-It Is an Old saying
that has with some people passed into a trulsm,
that piece which pleases the actors is very
likely ii not certain to fall with the public. A
long experience teaches mo that this Is alto
gether absurd. There are 10 better judges OF
q play than actors. But what you have to do
Is to get at their Judgments judgment un-
warped by personal Considerations a purely
unself1sh opinion. Unfortunately, the calling
OF the actor is essentially selfish one-eyerT
one wishes naturally to be the "cock salmon )
as the late William Farren described himself
and an actor who has q bad part THINKS
less of the piece than he who haS q
good one. But so far from a favor
engaged being inimical to the chances of q nlay,s
success, common sense will suggest to evervS
body that company In good temper and ha-
liev1ng in the material they have to work unnn
must throw themselves more heartily into thar
work. and consequently help to the desired
result, than troupe dissatisfied and disap-
pointed. AS to the power OF the press to m AXE nr
mar play, hold it OF little consequence WHen
failure Is bound to be one all the praise in the
world will do no good, and, on the other hand no
ABUSE can Kill piece which hits the fancy Of
the multitude. But-when play Is metan6ori.

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN SCHoOIS.-InS State
against Miner, As Iowa, PAS, IL was held that a
school teacher has the right, when necessary to
maintain discipline, moderately to chastise his
pupils. In the same case, recently again before
The court, 1t was held that such chastfSement, to
De ]9sthable, must be for definite offence
which the pupil has committed and that fail
ure to pursue the studies, or to attend at the
hours liked by the rules, was not such an Of
renee, and that whipping therefore was not
justifiable The remedy In such case the court
thought was expulsion from the school The
right OF teacher to chaStise In moderation a
dfSOrderly pupil is very generally recognised.
But the above decision In Miners case usefully
illustrates the fact that the law does not justify
brute, even though he happen to occupy the
position OF teacher, Ia assaulting his pupils
without good and Sufficient cause. In Wizard
against Neate recently decided by the Bath
county court England, it was held that an ordi-
nary school teacher and a Sunday-SchOO teach
er were on the same footing so far as relates to
the right OF chaSt1Sement; and that this right
extended to the maintenance OF proper diSci-
pine and order during pleasure excursion or
ssouting" SO far as we know this is the only
case on this phase OF the Question.-[Al bany Lac

The Water Question I'm GEORGETOWN.

Editor Stor:-There Is at present much inter-
water supply and the tax already imposed for
Its use. 1t is also intimated that our District
commissioners are now urging Congress to au-
thorize them to increase this tax. Great in-
justice has been done to our Georgetown citt-
Zens by the extension OF the water laws OF
washington over our tOwn-aS the original act
OF Congress and the report OF Gen. NJ. c. Meigs
or February, 1868, will explain. The complaints
now being made by citizens on Capitol Hill and
other high points in the city can all be removed
by the adoption OF the plan and suggestions of
Gen. Meigs', and at same time save at least
$500 GOO, instead OF adopting other plans pro-
posed to meet these demands. Our Georgetown
property paid all the original act of Congress
demanded IN four annual payments, and this ,oas
ts be JuU payment for all mater supply '.foreper"
In the report OF Gen. Meigs. page i5 you will
llnd that he says: ''They, the citizens, will at
me expiration of the four gears hare mater free
toreper," &C. We have to pay an annual
TAX In addition to our former paid up tax as
stated. Why Will not the two committees OF
the Senate and House consult Gen. Meigs on
this water question, as he Is perfectly familiar
with the whole subject, having had great ex-
perlence In his management OF the original SUP.
ply OF water. Please to urge the members OF
Inc two District Of Columbia committees of
congress to consult Gen. Meigs before APPROX
ing any additional tax on Georgetown PROPERTY
In view OF the facts stated.
