THE BEL AIR GRADED SCHooL.-We had the
pleasure of visiting the Graded School of Bel
Air, on Wednesday, with Mr.. VIM II. Harlan,
Public School Examiner, who was on his peri
odical round of inspection. The school num-
bers on its rolls 122 pupils, 1O1 of whom were
present. Ten or twelve ofthe absentecs, we were
told, are large boys who have been withdrawn
from school since the term began. The school
is divided into three departments, and classified
in seven grades. The 1st I'd and Sd grades,
| composed of the youngest boys and girls, is
taught in the lower room of the Academy build
ing by Miss Gertrude Richardson. They were
examined in arithmetic, reading and spelling and
showed that good foundation was being laid
upon which their education is to be built.
The next higher department is composed of
the 4th and 9Th grades, taught by Miss Annie E.
Ofley, iu the basement of the Presbyterian
church An exercise on grammar, in this de-
partment, did credit to the class, but the girls,
as a general thing, showed themselves superior
to the boys, although many of the latter were
very bright also.
The highest grades are the 9th and 18th, which
are taught by Mr.. John ID. Worthington in the
upper room of the Academy building. In adj
dition to all the studies pursued in the lower
grades, algebra is taught in the seventh grade
| This grade was in the midst of ar algebra les
son when we entered, and acquitted themselves
in a manner rejecting credit upon their teacher
as well as upon themselves Among those who
were most deserving of notice, for the advance
they have made in algebra, are Annie Young,
| Florence Young, Hannah Winkler, Charles For
wood and John Hanna. The sixth grade were
also examined in geography, and the ready
answers of many of the pupils showed retentiye
memories and considerable degree of know
ledge of the subject
The course of study pursued appears to be
admirably adapted to bringing the pupils along
the road TO learning by easy stages, and when
they have passed through all the grades they
will be well grounded in the rudimcnts OF an
English education, and be ready for the battle
of life or to acquire with facility classical edit
cation. We are gratifed 10 have had an oppor
tunity OF seeing this excellent school
While the children show that they are wei
taught it appeared 10 us that the rooms are
too small for the health and comfort Of the
| teachers and scholars. There is no place il

advantage while reciting their lessons. snit

Assassinat ton OF the Gar Of Russia.

After coming unscathed through five at
tempts to take his life, Alexander H., Gar
of all the Russias, has at last fallen victim
to the mysterious vengeance of the Nihilists
On Sunday afternoon, about two o'clock, as
the Emperor was returning to. his palace from
parade, glass bomb shell, charged with
nitro-glycerine, was thrown under his car
rage, and exploding tore the back out of it,
The Gar and his brother alighted, and the
former resisted the entreaties ofhis coachman
to re-enter the carriage. A second bomb,
thrown from person on the opposite side OF
the street, exploded under the Emperor's feet
His right leg was nearly torn from his body
and his left leg was badly shattered. The
explosion also killed three of his military es-
cort, and wounded about twenty other per-
sons The Gar fingered an hour and a
half and died in great agony.
The two men concerned in the crime were
arrested, and one of them died from the rough
usage he received at the hands ofthc sol.
diers
The late Gar is succeeded by his second
son, who assumes the throne with the title
Alexander Ill He is SO years of age, and
was married, in 1866, to the Princess Dag
mar, daughter of the King of Denmark.
Alexander H. was elevated to the throne
of Russia during the Crimean war, which he
brought to close by acceding to thedemands
of the allied powers, England France and
Turkey. He at once began to reform his
empire by cutting down the army, re -estab
fishing the shattered finances of Russia, and
by vigorous efforts to lift his empire out OF
the slough of barbarism. His greatest act o.
reform, and the one which WILL perhaps
give him better title TO an honored place in
history than any anything else, was his eman.
cipati0n of the Russian serfs, twenty three
millions of whom he set free in 1861. In
1864 he also set the Polish scrfs free. He
attempted to secure popular education, trial
by jury, and the establishment of elective pro-
vncial assemblies, but without success. The
opposition of the nobility was too great, and
he practically abandoned it and governed
Russia in the autocratic manner of his pre-
decessors
Numerous efforts were made to take his
life by the Nihlists, secret revolutionary
society. In 1866 his life was attempted at
St. Petersburg, but the attempt was foiled by
a Russian peasant, who was at once ennobled
and enriched for his devotion to the Gar
In 1867 another attempt was made to kill
him, at review in Paris, during the great
Exposition.
In 1860, at st Petersburg, one Solowjew
made an unsuccessful attempt on the Cars
life, for which he was executed.
In 1879, a train, on which the Gar was
supposed to be travelling, was blown up near
Moscow. Fortunately for him he was on
the following train and escaped
In 1880 the Winter Palace, where the Gar
resided, was blown up. The attempt was
timed when the Gar was supposed to be in
his dining room, but he was not there and
escaped.
The last attempt was successful.

Malone With the Republicans.

The doubt about the political position OF
Senator Malone was resolved, on Monday,
by his taking his place and voting with the
Republicans to prevent the Democrats from
organizing the Senate Senator Hill, of
Georgia, is entitled to the credit of uncover
ing" the willy Virginia Senator, and COM
pclling him to define his position. A sharp
passage of words took place between them
in which Senator Hill asserted that Malone
had misrepresented his constituents, by vot.
ing with the Republicans. Hills speech
was caustic and severe, and Malone WINGED
under it. In his reply he declared that he
had not been elected by the Democratic
party and did not stand upon the floor as the
representative of Democratic principles -
His speech was weak and he resorted to the
argument of the bully--a threat of personal
violence to Hill
The course of Malone is not very sur
prising to those who know his character
lie has shown himself to be Repudiator in
more senses than one. What reward he ex.
poets from the Republicans is not clearly as
certnined Perhaps they will help him in
his schemes of population in Virginia by al.

Malone was elected by the votes of Re.
