his thirteenth annual report, recently
presented, says that of the two grand
objects which the Board has from the
beginning had in view-namely, the
promotion of commOn-school education
and the professional training of teach
ers, the former has been so far attained
that it may. in great part, be safely left
in the hands of the people, and the
chief attention henceforth be given to
the latter.

I'm a lecture delivered before one OF
the English mining societies lately, a
novel illustration was given of electricity
performing mechanical work. A saw
bench was placed on a platform con-
nected with dynamo-electric machine,
which, in its turn, was connected by
wires with the machine outside the hall
used for producing the electric light
during the lecture. On the electricity
being communicated, the saw was set in
notion, and timber up to five inches in
thickness was cut into strips. This re-
suit has inclined some of the leading
cOlliery owners to test the practicability
of working coal-cutting machines and
other underground machinery by cleo
tricity-compressed air being at present
the only power that can be used for
driving these machines without interior
ing with the ventilation of the workings.
Electricity is said to possess the adj
vantage Of doing the work at less cost.

It was hot and noisy fourth In Washington.

It was hot and noisy fourth In Washington
There were, however, remarkably few accidents
and no destructive fires to chronicle. When the
small boys OF Washington grow up, there Is
some reason TO believe that New York will need
to look to its laurels as the most populous
American city. Thousands of boys went down
the river or on picnlcs into the country; yet
myriads. apparently, remained to celebrate the
day by continuous fiZz, crack bang of fire.
works. The boys seem as patriotic as they are
numerous. They de6ed the miniOns Of law and
the broiling sun to explode fire. crackers. They
are not states-rghterS. They disregard local
regulations to show, presumably, their love for
the constitution and the union. ALL things con-
Hdered, however, the fourth did not come up to
the mark OF its oStentatious predecessors. The
usual performances by which the day is &C
customed to assert itself, as 1t were, had In two
notable respects been anticipated. The grand
mpromptu display Of fireworks on seventh
street, Tuesday evening, has not been surpassed
by any OF theimore elaborate pyrotechnic ex-
h1bitions, and the terrible tornado, expected as
usual on the fourth, struck the west Wednesday
evening. Thus In these degenerate times, the
fourth In its patriotic and weather associations
Is coming to be more and more neglected

The ingenious Baltimorean has set his wits TO
work to evade the Sunday laws respecting the
sale OF liquor, excursions, etc., with eminent
success. Under decision Of Judge Gilmor
that clubs are exempted from the operation OF
the law so far as the selling Of liquor to mem.
Ders Is concerned, every bar-room, restaurant
and beer saloon is becoming the meeting place
OF regularly Incorporated club, made up OF the
proprietor and his patrons. In the case of the
clubs In respect to which Judge Gilmors de-
c1s1on was given, it was shown than many
OF the members took all their meals at the
clubhouse, using 1t to all intents and purposes,
except for lodgings, as their home, and it was
held to be cruel to deprive them of whatever
appet1zers other citizens at their houses might
enjoy. But these new clubs are legally incor-
porated, and under the decision can guzzle beer
on Sunday to their hearts content. The eva
sion Of the part Of the law which prohibits Sum-
Gay excursions, Is to be accomplished by the
establishment Of post offices at the resorts of
excurs1onists. The United States mails will
need to be carried In spite of local regulations,
