Atroet sights in Rome.

1t is something, if you must be 20 prosaic
as to enter old Rome by railway, to find
that the depot is put down on the map as a
part OF the old baths of Diocletian; and
house-hunting, with hurried glimpsos as one
goes from street to street, of Traian's
forum, and the fountain OF Trevi, and the
Tibcr, is calculated to stir strangely ones
fancy. And the picturesquencss of the
streets strike one at once. What with
priests and soldiers, and tho passion of the
women for brightness, they are all life and
color. Priests in brown, priests in white,
priests in scarlet; soldiers with an opulent
variety of,uniform, and Eplumcs and tassels
and silver braid enough to ruin modest
government. Is it because war in itself is
~ little aliuring that soldiers are always 80

Gus chanting rose to our windows, and be-
low was the long line of priests bearing the

barefoot. and bearing long wax tapers,
their chant, their dark procession, had in
it something weird and impressive. But
the charm Of the dead city one feels most,
perhaps, from the public pleasure grounds
on the Pincian Hill. The vision of ali

Tho san Francisco Vigilant Committee Of
1850.

In 1860 great excitement prevailed in
San Francisco caused by tho summary ex-
ecution of Whitaker and Mckenzie, two
memhers of tho "hounds" association, the
predecessors Of the present "Hoodluns. :"
In September Of that year, repeated strokes
of tho bell summoned the vigilantes to
their headquarters In couple of frame
warehouses, with gables on the street, in
the lofts Of which their meetings were
held, and which were furnished with two
projecting Deems over the walk below for
hoisting in goods. In this case tho meet
ing was called to consider the foul murder
of a peaceful merchant, whose store on the
wharf had been entered, his throat cut, and
a safe containing q large I.Ount of gold
dust and money lowered into boat and
carried of at the hour of 2 o'clock p. m.
Although the robbers and murdercrs had
been arrested and were in prison, 1t was
| well known that from measures which had
been taken they would escape unharmed
from the grip of the law. Aftor the pro-
ceedings at tho meeting held In the loft, q
| finer battalion than that which assembled
and formed In the street below could not
have been seen on that coast at the time.
The march TO the JAIL the securing Of the
| two Botany Bay men, despite the bravado
of the Sheriff and myrmidons, occupied
scarcely half an hour, and the culprits,
Whitaker and Mckenzie, were arraighed
before Judge Lynch at the lofts of the
vigilantcs. Their trial occupied about
two houra more, and they were then delib.
crately sentenced to dcathby hanging within
twenty minutes. It was oil done formally
and without heat or passion by the authori-
ties appointed by tho meeting. In the
presence OF the vast tllrong assembled, the
eulprits confessed their guilt of tho murder
and robbery. Then came the execution.
A suitable rope Was procured and rove
through the slieavcs In tile projecting
beams, at the, open doors of the lofts,
and fore and aft, the latter through leading
blocks, 80 that the whole crowd could hold
on, and none present were suffered to he

SOME CRITICISM.

ED1roR APPEAL: A successful business
man. heavy tax payer, and one whose judg-
ment is looked upon as excellent III almost ali
matters of practical life asked nae lately what
| thought of our schools. Said he: do you
think that any of the girls and boys, whom
thew graduate. as they call it, from the higher
departments are fit for any thing Can you
find me boy, now in the public school, VINO
is able to solve the problems tina: come up In
the common run of business! Don't you
ebink that our boys and girls lack thorough
ness? I think there is no doubt about IL.
Nav. if this ia true, what is the causes! ana
he want on to say further that he thinks there
is an unwholesome pride and ambition felt oy
teachers to push their pupils ahead, and ols
position to challenge comparison on the
Ground of advancement, without due regard
to the essential qualities OF rudlmentary
training. As bearing on the same topic he
wanted to know whether the grade does not
| rise to a higher plane than is consistent With
the shirt of our schools, which are a public
institution and supported by public taxes.
The critic is an old man and chllaess. he
is naturally little sour, for to him the com
mon schools seem very much like an affair OF
charity But, aside from any personal con
sideration of his own in the matter his cues
tions are fair and ought to be answered. Be
inc alive to all that concerns the welfare OF
the community and having great force III dis

the old man puts in issue. The glst OF MS
inquiry is whether the utmost Is being done

the best and most thorough manner for the
duties of life, for the inevitable sphere OF or
dinary things in which all of US must move

fuls of strong black coffee every two hours,

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Of the consideration of all persons interested
in the welfare Of the scholars attending our
pablic schools. 1t brings up for discussion a
very important subject, and it is to be hoped
that responses will be elected upon the ques-
tions propounded. If there Is better way
70 inpart instruction pupils should have the
bsne6t of such advance, and the teachers
should be glad to receive suggestions ana
profit by them. The recent agitation OF SCHOOL
M alters has freshensd the interest OF many
persons who would otherwise give ht1le

the natives of those Islands. Though glVlag
much praise to the missionaries for the good
they have done, he blames them III great
measure for the ill health of the natives. He
claims that, while teaching the natives to
look after their souls, the missionaries forgot
to teach them how to look after their bodles'
thus rendering their efforts in great degree
worse than useless.
