American. Rarely indeed has it felt a
breath of hostile criticism. At home and
abroad it has alike been accepted as the
fountain head of intelligence in this coun-
try, as the eXemplar Of the wisdom, pro-
gress and culture Of the nineteenth cen
tury. Richard Grant Whites paper,
''The Public School Failure" in the De-
cember number of the North American
Review, is likely, in view Of these facts,
to create a profound sensation If it does
not carry conviction, it is certain to dis
turb our selt-complaCency; if we are not
willing to accept Mr.. Whites conclusions,
the array Of facts he presents will at least
cause doubts to arise as to the system
heretofore regarded as quite perfect We
cannot 80 into this question in detail, and
must give Mr. Whites conclusions very
briefly. In his opinion, the enormous
sums of money taken by process OF law
from the pockets Of individuals" for the
maintenance of public schools are eNpend
ed to no practicable purpose whatever.
Pupils are taught to repeat, parrot like,
certain rules and to read certain lessons,
but. "They cannot write simple letter;
they cannot do readily and with quick
comprehension, a simple sum in practi-
cal arithmetic: they cannot tell the mean
ing OF any but the commonest of the words
they read and spell SO i'll These are
sweeping assertions, but Mr.. White torti-
tieS them with proofs, the most startling
Of which are from the report Of Mr. George
y. Walton, agent OF the Massachusetts
State Board of EducatIon on the public
schools Of Norfolk county, "a county
which borders upon Boston, and the in
habitants OF which are somewhat eXcep-
tional i'll wealth and intelligence" Mr.
Walton intimattS that the scholars of
fourteen wears Of age did not know how
to read, to write or to cypher. They
could, 1t Is true repeat the pieces in their
school readers, and parse and spell in
classes, and rattle of rules in grammar
and arithmetic, not one word Of which
they understood; but if they were called
upon to write the shortest ot letters or
compositions, or to 70 through the plain

failure was complete. They had. in fact.

POLICE JURIES.

A bill was introduced in the
House last Wednesday providing
for the appointment of Police Jury
men by the Governor, for the four
years ending in 1884. This subject
is one which should have received
the earliest attention of the Legis-
lature, anu it was generally thought
that such would be the case, and
vet more than one-third of the ses-
sion has expired and nothing has
been done. The Police Jury is of
as much importance to the parish
as the Legislature is to the State,
and it seems to us that a large num-
Der of bills which have received the
attention of the Legislature could
well have been postponed until this
matter was attended to-especially
such bills as that of the New Or
leans Lottery Company, and others
of minor moment. Public senti-
,nent in this parish is divided upon
the question of the appointment or
election of the members of the Po-
lice Jury, but all agree that the
subject should be attended to with
out any useless delay.

RATTLESNAKES AS MISSION
ARIES.

In 1850 there lived in the south
ern part of Missouri a family by the
name of Weaver-very hard char
acters-the Old man, luis wife, and
five grown-up boys. During the
spring John Weaver was bitten by
a rattlesnake. Everything was re-
sorted to for his relief, but all to no
avail. When they saw he must die
they sent for an old Baptist preach
er to pray for him. He prayed as
follows: I've thank thee, AL
mighty God, for thy watchful care
over us, and for thy goodness and
tender mercy; and especially do we
thank thee for rattlesnakes. Thou
hast sent one to bite John Weaver.
We pray thee to send one to bite
Jim, one to bite Henry, one to bite
Sam, and we pray thee to send the
biggest kind of rattlesnake to bite
the old man, for nothing but rattle
snakes will ever bring the Weaver
family to repentance. There are
others in Missouri just as bad as the
Viewers. We pray thee to stir up
Missouri, and if nothing else will
bring the people to repentance, we
pray thee to shower down more
rattlesnakes. Amen.-Globe- Demo
Graf.

THE SILVER WEDDING.
lHarper's Weekly.l

Come, wife, sit here, and we'll rest
awhile,
Till the merry dance is DER.
Our silver wedding has made me feel
AS if youth were mine once more.
I've quite forgotten my fifty years;
Dear wife. can it be true
That twenty-five years have come and

Since loved and welded you?
Our daughter there-God bless the child !!
For she carries her mothers face;
Just as you looked when you won my
heart
With your innocent girlish grace.
How fair she is What? bless nay soul
Wife, what is that you say?
.'Our little girl has given her heart
To that rascal young John Gray.
Coaxed mother to tell me, did she, ell?
Well, wife, it never can be;
I'll never consent-you hear me, wife
just tell her that from me.
I What is it you ask?-''If long ago
Your father had answered nay,
What would have done?" Hin, well, ]
think
I'd have-married you, anyway!
Judge John by myself, you say. All.
i well,
The boys good fellow enough;
But don't encourage this falling in love,
| And this counting, and all such stuff
What is it you ask me? Have enjoyed
/ This silver wedding:" There, there,
When a woman attacks the weak side OF
man,
The galne-is hardly fair.
well, because of our silver wedding,
wife,
, Dear. dear, how fast time flies ,
/ can't say mo- to the child we love
The girl with her mothers eyes.
So here's kiss for the bride you were.
And one for the wife you are:
And another to crown this happy night,
Of which you are the brightest star. =
