A REMARKABLE RECoRD.-Another re-
markable financial movement has been sue
cessfully operated by Secretary Sherman.
On Wednesday the Secretary issued a circular
offering for sale Sl50,0000O0 four per cent
bonds at one-half Of one per cent above par,
and accrued interest to date of subscription,
and allowing commission of one-eighth of
one per cent. on all purchases of $1,000 or
over, the proceeds to be devoted to funding
the outstanding ten-forty bonds The offer
was ridiculed very strongly during the day,
as the market for four per cents was believed
to be glutted, and that it was folly to expect
anyone to purchase them above par when so
large an amount, estimated to be Sl65,000,-
900, was still on the market seeking purchas-
ers at par. However, the whole amount Of
fered by the Secretary was taken by New
York bankers within twelve hours after they
were offered. BY this operation an annual
saving to the government is effected of ST.
100000. The total amount of four per cents
now outstanding is S69S,07S,305; of -four
and one-half per cents, s250,000,0O0; of five
per cents, 1858, OO5,55O, and of six per cents
S34S, 1852, making the grand total 81 $40,
390,Sl2. The sum saved yearly to the
government by Secretary Sherman's funding
operations since September, 1877, aggregates
nearly 100000 A truly remarkable rec

CHANGE OF TExT-BooKs.--And now the
voice Of the book agent is heard throughout
the length and breadth of our land. The
binding force of the recommendations made
by the Board of Education in 1872, in ref
erence to the use of textbooks in the COM
mon schools of this state, expired by lmita-
ton last November. By the provisions of a
law passed by the last General Assembly,
towns boards consisting of each town super
intendent, and two other citizens of each
town elected at the annual March meeting,
are constituted, upon whose recommends
ton uniform textbooks are to be adopted in
every town. The use of different textbooks
of the same grade in the same school is a
fruitful source of vexation and serious
drawback upon the usefulness of the school.
There has been altogether too much of this
in the state, and we gladly hail any remedy
for this crying evil. We trust, however,
that these town boards will act wisely and
judiciously in making any radical changes
in the books already in use. The money
involved in any change Of this kind, if ex-
pended in procuring the services Of thor
oughly competent teacher, would be four
fold better Investment. A good teacher and
an indifferent textbook is greatly to be pre-.
ferred 10 the best textbook in the world
with poor teacher.

DISASTROUS FIREs.-A short time since
the town of Reno, Nevada sprightly place
situated on the Truckee river at the junction
of the Central Pacific and the Carson and
Virginia City railroads, took fire and nearly
all burned up. And now Eureka, another
Nevada town, has shared the same fate, two
thousand of its people having been burned
out and damage inflicted to the extent of
81 100000. Eureka was the southern ter
minus of the Palisades and Eureka railroad,
which connected it with the Central Pacific.
The burned town was situated due east of
Virginia City. 1t is not strange that fires
in such places are so destructive. These
towns are mostly composed of wooden build
ings, and are exposed to terrific winds.
When fire breaks out during one of these
gales, it generally makes very clean work.
