An Indignant BondboIdcr.

There appeared at the Treasury yester-
day an old gentleman from an interior town
of Ohio who had with him 1900 in bonds,
which he had purchased in 1861, and which
were called in July last He took position
in the principal room of the REDEMPTION
bureau, and delivered in a loud tone ofvoicc
and with much emphasis and gcstfculation,
severe lecture npon the improbriety and
immortality of the propositions which have
been made from time to time to pay of the
public debt in other than gold coin. He
was informed that the efforts in this diroc-
ton had all come to naught, and that there
was no difficulty in paying off in gold, or its
equivalent, but he insisted upon finishing
his discourse, and said the Government had
promised to pay gold. He had paid gold
for his bonds and wanted gold, and no
equivalent about it. 1t was represented
to him that draft on the United
States Treasury was rs good as
gold anywhere, and the gold could be
obtained for it; that if he preferred it
the gold coin would be paid him, but that
as $4,000 in gold would weigh about sixty
pounds he would find it somewhat trouble
some to carry it all the way out to Ohio.
This staggered him little, but he said it
was the principle Of the thing he was con-
tending for, and he must have his gold, and
he would take it home himself, as he would
not pay the swindling charges imposed by
the express companies. He then went
across the corridor to the Office of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury to impress some
wholesome views upon that official, but
after waiting two or three hours for an
audience he became disguised and went
Off with the remark that he would come
back and wanted his gold to lie ready for
him,

AutIprOnOIOricnI.

The forty-third regular meeting of the
Anthropological Society was held last even
ing at the Medical College, on ii street. Mr..
Hinman read very instructive and in
teresting paper on the Stone God, or "Tun-
KAN" of 'the Dakotas. He showed, from
native illustrations, gathered from the In
dams, what the god was and the manner of
worship paid to it. Also, by old tradition,
that this worship was once probably unver-
sal The paper closed with legend of
Standing Rock, giving the Indian origin of
that name. Prof. Mallery followed with n
lengthy and exhaustive paper on symbol
and sign language, and, from chart,
illustrated how the Indians, by certain
characters or signs, marked important
events in their history. lie also carried his
subject into algebra and mathematics, and
demonstrated the use and necessity for the
symbols in those studies and their applica-
ton. At times the comparisons would be
humorous and served to keep an attentive
and agreeable audience.

JUSTLY INDIGNANT.
Withholding Pay from the Hard.
Work Cd V,eonnars.

About thirty school teachers of the first
division met lest evening at the franklin
School building to take some action in re-
gard to the failure of the District ahthori-
ties to pay the salaries dre On October first
Mr.. +. a. Paul principal of the High School
was ~ the chair. Superintendent Wilson
was prcsentand was requested to explain the
delay. He stated that difficulty had
arisen between the auditor. and tho School
Board certain information had been asked
for by the auditor, and as it had already
been furnished he did not know why the
payment was not made. The following
resolutions were then read and unani-
monsly adopted:
whereas, the failure up to this date Of the
District authorities to pay the public school
teachers their salaries for the present school
year Is causing not only inconvenience but
actual distress and suffering.
Resolred, That The Withholding of the
money appropriated for salaries when
teachers with families are in need of food
and clothing, and new teachers are threat
encd with eiectment from boarding places,
and all teachers are in great distress, is an
act of injustice which should no longer be
continued
Resolred, That the authorities are hereby
requested 10 pay Immediately the salaries

roll of the public school teachers exceeds by
$500 for each school month the amount ap-
propriated for the present school year. to
continue paying the salaries until the ap-
preparation is exhausted, whereby the
teachers, in event of such emergency, can
provide for IT,
In this connection we have received
the following communication
TO The Editor of The Erening Critic:
As the press is often used to hold up to
public odium those who have no con-
science, beg you to dip your pen in caustc
and severely rebuke those who withhold
the teachers salaries. 1t has been alleged
that Congress has made an insufficient APP
consequently, few persons
are perplexed how to reduce the teachers
pay, in order to come within said appro-
priation. 1t would strike any Just mi nd
that those who receive forty or forty-two
dollars month, which has to be cked out
to serve also for the two vacation tbs,
have little enough without reduction. |
cannot think Congress is so parsmonious.
Why not use the appropriation and call for
more?
Some ofthe teachers have homes and other
means for support, but the powers that be
know well that many have positively moth
ing but their salaries and it is n burning
shame that after being hard-workod they
should be harrassed in mind how td%ieet
their board bill. 1t is recognized fact
that no enc can live on air. 1t would
be humane to remember that the last pay
ment was made in June, and the poor little,
pitiful sum is exhausted. The treatment
is simply barbarous and there is no excuse
for delay.
Stand up for the right.

Lost Children.

Two bright little colored girls named
Martha and Annie johnson, and aged ten
and eleven years respectively, left their
home on NJ street, between Twelfth and
Thirteenth ON Monday morning last to go
to school. The children were dressed alike,
In red plaid bingham dresses and white
sailor hats, and each had bundle of books.
On Monday afternoon the children did not
return as usual, and the efforts made to find
them soon made known the fact that they
had not reached the school, but had last
been seen a short distance from it. All day
yesterday search was made for the little
ones, and up to the present time the in

Judge WyIic Makes An Order in the
Christiancy Case.

The Christiancy divorce suit occupied the
attention of Justice Wylie, sitting in Cham
beers, for few moments this morning. A
motion was made by Captain Cole and Mr..
Oliver, of the counsel for the defendant,
for temporary suspension of the cross'eX-
animation of Mrs. Christiancy, in order to
allow the taking of the testimony of four
witnesses from New York city. Mrs. Chris
tiancy made affidavit that her oss-exami-
nation commenced ON the 18th inst, and
had to stop on the following day on account
of illness and she was unable to appear UNI
til the ensuing Saturday, the 18th inst. The
cross-examination then continued until the
counsel for the complainant declined to pro-
coed further on that day, although she was
willing to 60 forward and finish
On the 18th and 18th, although still
i'll and suffering, she again submit
ted to cross-examination until the counsel
for the plaintiff declined to go on. She has
been anxious to complete the cross-exami-
nation as early as possible, both because she
was i'll and that she had nonresident wit
nesses waiting to be examined at consider
able expense, and some of them could not
remain here longer than to-day.
Judge Cuppy, of the counsel for eXMin-
lister Christiancy, resisted the notion but
the court decided to grant it, and the tax

progress this afternoon.
