send 80 or 40 of the 100 teachers
required, and that colonial teachers
could be found to take the remaining
posts.
From a discussion in the meeting
held 9 November we learn that a
more practical view had been taken of
the matter. The Government had re-
ferred to the several municipal councils
the question whether they wished to
retain the Brethren or not, and the
results expected may be gathered
from some remarks of a member of
the General Council On. Fl. ThaIy).
He says ut is of the greatest impor-
lance that our President should know
what communes have voted for lay
teachers and the number required
for each. | think if a principle of
liberty to leave it to those communes
who wish for clerical instructors to
make their own arrangementswith the
Brethren. If, in spite Of the sympathy
which has been lavished upon them
by a great part Of the population, the
Brethren should still go, the respon-
sibility will lie with themselves. But
it is possible that in the presence OF
the votes Of a certain number of COM
munes they will remain, hoping to re-
gain the lost ground, and, gentlemen,
it will be excellent for our children
that we have the two elements to COM
pare with each other, In France, l
know, the general desire is for lay
teaching, but it is necessary to take
into account the manners and habits of
our country, which is a new country.
Having these two elements (the clerical
and the lay) we enter, so to speak; on
an experiment ofcomparison, and later
will be able to test by general compe-
titions the value of each"
Somemembers blamed the Govern
ment for having referred the matter to
the Municipal Councils. "The NUM-
cipal Councils" said one member
"have had to choose between lay
teachers having no existence, and fri
ars who are actually present"
The last speaker told the Director
of the Interior that the Govern
ment ought not to have called on the
Municipal Councils at all but should
have left the Communes to speak Of
their own accord. After which, says
the report, the incident closed"
We have no later information on
the subject, but from the above
it seems likely that a mixed syetem will
be followed in Martinique, some Of the
Primary Schools remaining under
the charge Of the Brethren, and others
being taughr, by lay teachers and we
agree with what is implied by M.Thaly,
that the two systems will stimulate
each other.

loughby street within pistolshot of the
City Hall. Mr.. Barnes, the President Of
this benevolent enterprise, (Albert S.
Barnes s. Co., Publishers) spoke at tho
dedication ON Saturday to the following
effect:
We invite you, my friends, to witness
the result of an enterprise, feeble i'll its
ineipiency, undertaken with much hesita-
ton by a few gentlemen, for the purpose
OF providing meals for the poor at the
smallest possible expense, the primary OBJ
ject being to provide for that class of our
population who are too easily tempted to
drop into places so numerous i'll our large
cities bearing the attractive titles of "free
lunch", "sample rooms, shades &c
where so many of the simple and unsus-
pecting are enticed. and too ofen ruined.
"In the Winter of 1867 a suitable build
ing was found on Willoughhy street, and
was soon made ready for a restaurant. A
board of directors were elected, constitu-
ton and by laws adopted, and before
the LIST of January, 1877, the Good Samari-
tan opened doors under the superintendent
cy of Mr.. Whitney, who offered q bill OF
fare, at 5 cents, which satisfied any Ordi-
nary appetite, and for 10 cents the most
vOracious would be more than satiated.
After an experience of a few months, we
became satisfied that, although we were
administering comfort to the hungry, whose
means we're contracted and who WOul
rather buy than beg, We were not doing
all that their necessities required. Many
OF our patrons whose earnings Won buy
their food, had no place to lay their heads
at night. They had no home, nor sufficient
means to pay the ordinary price for room

meet this requirement by hiring another
building adjacent, and provide lodgings as
we'll as food for our customers. We ac-
cordingly secured the house on the corner
opposite, and appropriated, the upper
rooms for lodgings; and by placing beds
in near proximity to each other, we have
furnished a resting place for about seventy
wearied ones every night, who, for ten
cents, have had a good bed and quiet rest
and shelter instead of walking the streets
or living in some yard or doorway, or per-
chance on the hard floor of a police station.

NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE OF
"ST THOMAS TIMES.

We had a cordial hand -shaking the other
day with the Rev. John 2. Knox, formerly
Pastor of the Reformed Dutch Church i'll
st. Thomas. Mr.. Knox is in good health,
and although his hair is snowy white, he
is still hearty and strong, and continues to
take a lively interest in tho welfare Of
your island,
Day before yesterday q young Dane do
ing business as a Stock Broker in Broad
way committed suicide by shooting him
self through the head. Yesterdays morn
ing papers give the following account of
the sad affair:
"a singular suicide took place yesterday
at No. $40 East Fitty-eight street, New
York. There resided at the above number
a young broker named Nicolai Gedalia,
aged % years, He was a member Of the
Mining Board. and had an Office at No. 10
Broadway. He resided with his elder
brother, his sisters and aged mother, He
was a native of Denmark, and his father
at one time figured as one of the most sue
cessful tinancierS of Europe, an agent of
the ROthSchilds and a manipulation Of Gov
ernment loans and bonds on a large scale.
He is a baron and still resides III COpen-
hagen where he carries on a small bust
ness. He came to this country with his
family in 1877 to build anew his shattered
fortunes, but aid not prosper, and returned
to Denmark. leaving his family here. The
father began life i'll Copenhagen as q sad
der, but soon developed a rare genius Tor
bold and successful speculation. He was
one of the earliest dealers i'll UniIed States
Governments during and after the war.
He became the Scandinavian agent OF the
RothSchildS and amassed great wealth.
He placed several large loans for European
Governments and was made a baron by
the Austrian Emperor. The financial
stringency of 1S75-76 hurt him, and he
embarked in losing speculatiOns abroad,
and lost the bulk of his fortune. Then 1T
was that he came to this country, but
he could not fall in with the ways Of the
New World, and so returned to Denmark
leaving his family here.
A year and q half ago the young man
Nicolai Gedalia started a modest business
as a broker. He purchased a seat in the
Mining Board. and won esteem among his
fellows as q capable business man. He
did not prosper, however, of late, and be.
came discouraged.
Yesterday morning the members of the
family were at breakfast, when they were
startled by the sound of a pistol shot from
the young mans chamber. On entering
the room he was found lying on the floor,
with a smoking pistol clenched in his hand
and a gaping bullet hole in his temple. 1t
was evident that business reverses and
discouragements had caused him to take
his own life.

10 the Honorable Board Of County

you the following proposition for the
year 1880:

I will do all the rest Of the coun-
ty printing, including the tax list,

for County Superintendent, and ev-
rvthing except blank books. l am
ready to bind myself to the above.
Yours Respectfully,

good and appropriate for the occa
sion. The recitation of Eta Davis
and the reading by her sister Hattie
were we'll received. But it is need
less to particularize, as the whole
entertainment was pleasing, and vel
worthy of the patronage it received
