BROOKLYN HAS had political SCH
sation. She has Il Democratic mayor,
Howell, but the Republicans have a
majority in the board Of aldermen, in
consequence Of which a deadlock hes
existed some weeks in the appoint-
mcnts to several tat offices. Taking
advantage Of Mayor Uowcll's illness,
the acting mayor, Republican, named
Ray, attempted to make Republican
nominations and have them confirmed.
Three Republican aldermen, however,
voted with the Democrats and made
tie. Then scene ofgrcat confusion
occurred. Ray ordered the sergeant
alarms to arrcst q Democratic alder
man for alleged contempt, but the
latter shook his fist in the scrgcant's
face, and, being backed by number
ofoutsidcrs, refused to leave. Every.
body got to speaking and gcsticulating
ut once, and the meeting broke up.
The Democratic mayor, though sick
III bed, has assumed the reins again,
though tho acting mayor says he will
not obey them. Meanwhile the ap-
pointments are not made. The trick
attempted by Ray was n contemplate
one. 10 take advantage Of anothc,
mans illness to put n job through
cannot be justified.

Teachers Meeting.

The meeting of the Association at
Salem last Saturday seemed to us to
lie an unusually interesting one, al
though the attendance was restricted
to faithful few"
The points brought out with regard
to the school law of Kansas were of
special importance to the teachers and
will probably save some of them from
inconvenient blunders in the future.
\ subject Of equal intesest, and of per-
haps greater Importance was the dis
cussion Oh practical Grammar"-how
tn enable our pupils to write and speak
correctly. The general conclusion
seemed to be that the pupil should have
abundant and long continued written
exercises, until he can correct 1T sight
any error in a manuscript, or write a
letter free from orthOgraphical mis-
takes of any kind and this, nOtwith-
standing the apparent difficulties in
the way, was shown to be consum-
nation as easily to be obtained as it is
devOutly to be wished.
Many other subjects of interest were
touched upon; indeed the meeting was
characterized by an unusual freedom
in discussion, and We venture that
every one who braved the unpleasant
ness of the journey, felt more than re-
paid for the sacrifice. n.
