To School Friends.

Several times since | have been
teaching in Silver City some of my
particular friends ~ have taken
pains to go to members of the School
Board PRIVATELY and complain that
neglect school work during school
hours. This complaint is msde with
out any foundation whatever, and is
a base fabrication. 1t is made by
men for purposes of their own; by
mon who never visit the schools, and
who prefer this underhand way of
doing business Instead of coming to
me or coming.to the School Board in
open session, where they would be
met and their accusations refuted.
AT the present time l hear regu-
larly fifteen classes every day, and
also remain half an hour after school
every night to hear two extra classes
for which | have no time in school
hours. Any teacher in the State will
say that this is more work than is
required of him. If any have com
plants to make, let them come out
plainly and make them in open
meeting OF the Board and not in this
low, uDderhand way on the street.
Respectfully,
MILLS VAN WAGENEN.

The Parties and Taxatiop

j. S. Moore, the cold Parsee Me,-
chant" holds fearful club over tho
heads of the Democracy in congress In
letter to the New York Post he shows
that the Republican party abolished
$50, 100000 If internal revenue taxes
just before the presidential election in
1863, and about $50, 900, 900 more imme.
diately before the election of 1872. "Tn
1876" he continues, "the Republicans
were no longer responsible for reducing
taxation, and the Democrats made the
first blunder in not remitting a single
dollar of taxation. This political crime
Is chargeable to some of the most
prominent Democrats But you had
at least slight excuse by pointing out
that, inasmuch as the senate was Repub-
l1can and antagonistic, no tariff reform
was probable" If the Democratic party
neglects to reduce direct and indirect
taxes very materially at this session, Mr.
Moore says they will find that not only
the presidency is not in their grasp, but
the Democratic majority in the house
will cease. And, mark my prediction"
he adds, "the first thing that the Re.
publicans will do when they get the
house will be to reduce taxation by low
erlng the tariff Duties"

The Republican Gains i'm Indiana.

The Indianapolis correspondent of the
Democratic Cincinnati Enquirer, writing
under the date of April Is, says: "The
recent Indiana election was the most
spirited and actively canvassed election
that was ever held in the state, as it In
volved radical change in important
parts..of the state constitution. The lines
were closely drawn between the two par
ties. Up to to-day rs counties have re-
ported to the Enquirer Bureau here
their full vote on township trustees.
The total vote is as follows: Demo-
cratic, 15O,340; Republican, 15S, 5O4.
Total vote SO far reported, 30S, S44, Civ
ing Republican majority of s, 164 votes,
or gain of II, 233 to the Republicans in
the same townships over the last cleo
tions. The total vote will be about 375,-
600, or $4,000 votes less than the highest
total vote cast in 1876. In addition to
this apparent Republican gain, the cleo
ton machinery in several important
Democratic cities has passed into their
hands"

Amherst is a trump; and may he

it hadn't been for him, l should have
been of all men the most miserable to-
day. What do you think he did? Why,
he wrote me all that sad little story you
thought right to tell him, and added that
he would not deny he was making a sac
rifice; that in renouncing you he re-
nounced all that made life lovely to him,
except his work; yet he felt it was better
one should fail of heaven on earth than
two should suffer; and that if I loved you
as l had once said, would take his place
at the marriage, and allow HIM to sol
emnize it? It was within of his to have

THE STATUE.

snake me a statue" said the king,
OF marble, white az snow.
It must he pure enough To stand
Before my throne at my right hand.
The niche is waiting. Go"
The sculptor heard the kings command
And went upon his way;
He had no marble; but he went
With willing mind and high intent,
To mould his thoughts in clay.
Day after day he wrought the clay,
But knew not what he wrought
He sought the help Of his heart and brain,
But could not make the riddle plain
1t lay beyond his thought.
To-day the statue seemed to grow
Tomorrow il stood still
The third day it went well again.
Thus year by year in JOY and pam
s. He served his masters viii.
At last his lifelong task was done;
II was fateful day;
He took his statue to the king,
And trembled like guilty thing
Because it was but clay.
Where is my statue ?" asked the king.
.Here, lord,n the sculptor said.
"But / commanded marble " "True,
had not that--what could do
But mould in clay instead 2"
:! Thou shalt not unrewarded go,
Since thou hast done thy best.
Thy statue shall acceptance win;
1t shall be az it should have been,
For l viii do the rest"
He touched the statue, and It changed
The clay falls off, and loi
marble shape before him stands.
The perfect work Of heavenly hands,
An angel, pure as snow.

Graves of the HaWthOrneS.
fFrom the Congreeationalist. |

There are many lovely and noted places
in the quiet town of Concord, Mass, but
not one lovelier, Or more universally WIS.,
tied, than the peaceful cemetery OF
Sleepy Hollow.
Numerous are the noted graves of this
secluded spot Samuel Hoar, 50 re-
nowned as a lawyer, so much more re
nowned as a Christian abolitionist, his
sweet and gracious daughter Elizabeth,
whose presence saved her intrepid faith
er's life at Charleston, Mrs. Hoar, her
mother, who was a granddaughter OF
Roger Sherman, Henry Thoreau and his
gifted sister, quaint old DR.. Bartlett,

easy to tell book written by anybody
who ever lived i'll Concord, for he is al

more, any one of whom would have
made any other town in the common
wealth famous. But, over all, the grave of
Nathaniel Hawthorne draws hither wor-
shippers of genius and lovers of good
books.
Sleepy Hollow was well-known to him,
and was his favorite walk when he lived
in the cold Manse" between 1913 and
1916. He had only to cross the high
way opposite the Manse gates, strike III
to the woods, and thus down to the post
office or Mr. Emerson's; so no figure
was more familiar to the romping chill
dren than his tall, broad-shouldered,
handsome one. His face they did not
often see, as he usually looked down
as he walked. and often it was mutfied IN
heavy cloak, but all were sure it was
very handsome likewise, for was he not
the author of Grandfather Chair"
They made his grave ON the highest
point of gently swelling ridge, near to
many whom he cared for in life, but
sufficiently remote to allow the feeling
of freedom and isolation he so greatly
priced. The lot, in which Is no other
grave, is large, but long rather than
wide, While even the width it does pos
scss is not uniform, and is absolutely IN
state of nature. 1t Is covered with
short grass, vines and dwarf shrubs,
and on its front is the low white stone no
bigger than the foot-stone of It's more
ambitious neighbor, whose black letters
say only Hawthorne.

and sympathy with, her gifted husband
are everywhere known, has found lar

Tue Hartford Courant commenting upon
the recent tom meetings in Connecticut,
compares the general result with that of
four years ago, and finds in the comparison
the indisputable evidence that the Republi
can cause is stronger and more popular than
it was in 1876. lii accounting for the loss
of Connecticut by the Republicans in that
year, it says that there has ''never been
any doubt that the Republican vote in 1876
was seriously lessened by the disaffection
resulting from business depression. Many
men voted for change then because they
reasoned that any change would be an i'm
provement. There can be as little doubt
that the result this year has been influenced
by the renewed prosperity of the country,
and the determination to avoid the uncer-
tainties which mus: result from any change.
The same men who favored change four
years ago now reason that it is not wise to
give a certainty for an uncertainty. They
know that even if there were likely to be no
change in the general policy of the country
in relation to finances and home industries,
ton must inevitably be followed by long
season of paralyzing uncertainty until til e
future policy is definitely settled upon.
They know also that the hostility of the
controlling element Of the Democratic party
to the present financial policy and to the
protection of American industries would
greatly increase the uncertainties of the fu-
ture in case Of Democratic success.
