The Resignation of supt. Parish

The Resignation of Supt. Parish.
 Ariel Parish, superintendent of the public ! schools of New Haven since 1865, has ten dered his resignation to take effect Jan. l, 1882, although the time he was elected for does not expire until June, 1882. The step has been in contemplation by MT. Parish for some months past The; following we take from the Biographical and Historical Record of the class of 1885 in Yale College for the fifty years from the admission of the class to College work recently prepared by Prof. Thacher of Yale for his class:
 Ariel Parish was born in South Coventry, Conn July 20, 1908; was the son of Jeremiah Parish, who was for many years prominent | lawyer in Holland county, and Lydia Man ning), his wife. He began to fit for college \ under the instruction of Mir. Strong, late Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States, and completed his preparation at the | Ellington High School, where he was teacher as well as learner before he entered college. l When in college he acted to some extent as l assistant to the college treasurer. He began | teaching at the age of IT years, and from 1 that time to the present (September, 1981),
 with the exception of four years in college,
 he has been devoted to the education of the
 rising generation, eitheT as teacher or su- superintendent of schools.
 | After graduation he first taught, in 1S35-7, l private school in Berlin, Conn had charge
 of Westfeld Academy Mass, in 1s37-44,
 was principal of the High School in Spring
 field, Mass, 1s44-65 from which many pu-
 pills passed to various colleges and into the
 higher walks of life In 1865 he was called
 from Springfield to the very responsible
 office of superintendent of schools in New
 Haven, Conn, which position he has held
 through period of sixteen years. During
 his residence in Massachusetts he presi-
 dent of the State Teachers association two
 years, and member of the State Board of
 Education eight years He was one of the
 originators of the Massachusetts TeGcber, and
 an associate editor of the same ten years The following statistics are interesting in
 the above connection. WheD Mir. Parish
 entered upon his work here in 1865 there were 95 teachers in our public schools. The
 present number is 234, the number having , 1 much more than doubled. In 1865 there ; were 90 school rooms. Now there are 20f school rooms and of scholars in 1865 there
 were between $500 and 3,900; now there are about 10000. MT, Parish's resignation takes effect in January.

MUCH has been reported relative to Mr..
Blaine's connection with the nomination OF
Robertson to the New York collectorship,
but the Troy Times makes the most COM
plete and interesting statement yet made
concerning it, President Garfield himself
giving the testimony. The Times says that
when the late President was in attendance
upon his wife at Elberon he was visited by a
distinguished citizen of the Empire State, to
whom, in the course of conv ersation, Presi-
dent Garfield said: "The appointment OF
Judge Robertson was my own act, and Mr.
Blaine had nothing whatever to do with it.
Indeed, he knew nothing of it until the de-
cision had been made. l feel now that it
was a mistake, that it would have been bet
ter perhaps if it had not been made. But
Judge Robertson was my friend. Discover
ing an unwillingDess to recognize his SER
vices to the country and the party--a dispo-
sition to crowd him out of all consideration,
even to his exclusion from the Office of Unit
ed States district att orney, determined to
act for myself, and without consultation
with anyone nominated the judge to the col
lectorship." President Garfield also de-
clared to Collector Merritt, whom he had
thus displaced, that Mr.. Blaine knew moth
ing whatever of the appointment of Gen.
Merritt's successor.

JUDGE PORTER, who has been leading
Guiteau such merry dance in cross-exami-
nation, was on the bench of the New York
court of appeals during the trial at Albany
before Judge Hogeboom of George W. Cole
for killing L. Harris Hiscock. On that trial
the question Of insanity was allowed to be
raised only in strict relation to the time of
the shooting. The judge, in charging the
jury as to the point of time, said of the ac-
cused: 'sWas his reason then dethroned or
was it them operative? Was he them able
to comprehend the nature of his conduct or
not? So lonsas reason preserves her domin-
ion over his intellectual powers he is held
accountable for his acts and must abide the
fate of other criminals"

Prohibition.

The letter of Neal Dow, elsewhere print
ed, gives gratifying assurance of the working
of prohibitory laws in other States. In this
matter statements of facts are so much col
ored by the opinions and prejudices of the
witness that it is very difficult to learn the
truth. Contradictory reports come from
Kansas respecting the working of the pro-
hibitory system, but the people of Kansas
seem satisfied that they are getting good
from it, and evidently propose to continue
it. This is, perhaps, the best possible test
of its practical usefulness. If it were not,
on the whole, for the advancement of the
community it would be promptly repudiated
whenever the voters should be brought 10
pass on it. So 1t is in Maine. Many per-
sons, some of them intelligent, virtuous and
disinterested, declare that prohibition is a
failure, and that we should be better off
without it. Exactly how they can come to
this conclusion, it is difficult to see. 1t is
true that there are defects in the admins
tration of the law, and that it has given
prominence to lot of noisy blackguards
who cover base and selfish purposes under
pretended zeal for the cause of temperance.
But these things are only incidents and are
likely to accompany any reform movement.
But, in general, taking the State as whole,
prohibition has doubtless accomplished
great good. This is specially true of the ru-
raj parts of the State, which include the
great body of the population. In some OF
the cities, particularly in Portland and Ban
gor, where Democratic sheriffs omit to en-
force the law, much Intoxicating drink is
unlawfully sold. But even here the con-
dition is much better than if license were Civ

THE recommendation of our Naval Board
that the Government build number OF
swift cruisers, having iron-clads to develop
under the fostering care of foreign expert
| menters, has struck terror to the hearts of
our British cousins. The Pail Mall Gazette
finds wisdom in the decision, and shifts the
smoke of some future conflict when Guer-
riere will strike her flag to a Constitution,
or Macedonian to United States. The
American idea it realizes is to have some
ships 'sa little larger, little stouter, little
faster, and to carry guns little heavier
than the corresponding ships of other ma
vies." SIT is just this little superiority all
round" the Gazette adds, (which makes
the deadly difference" and then it says, re-
ferring to the little casualties above mem
toned, that "incidents such as these, how
ever bitter, should never be forgotten, even
though popularity hunting historians may
try to ignore or explain them away" The
moral of it all is that even though England
may think and hope war highly improba-
BILE, and though it may seem heretieal and
paradoxical to Europe to say that iron-clads
are not necessity, the English people can
not afford to trust their existence-"not
only as nation, but as human beings"-to
supposed improbability. Evidently the
American eagles scream has been heard
beyond the seas.
