WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 81, 1881.

WE HAVE BEEN panied to soc going the
rounds a pretended explanation of the
sudden and mysterious visit of the alleged
Postmaster-General to New York the other
night. This explanation runs to the effect
that when the surgeons gave the Presidents
case up as hopeless, poor James was seized
with utter panic, hied him to New York
and implored Arthur to retain him in the
Cabinet, whatever might happen to his col
leagues. We feel authorized to declare that
this statement is not true. James is a very
weak man, and capable of doing very silly
things; but hardly this James does not
know much but among the few things that
he does know, is the fact that Arthur knows
him too well to render any such mission as
the alleged one of the slightest use.

WE SEE 1t announced that the Hon.
Samuel j. Randall will take the stump for
the Democratic party in Iowa this fall, but
we can't imagine what use the Iowa De-
mocracy has for Sans peculiar genius. His
sole usefulness is that of making minorities
out of Democratic majorities, and Iowa, of
all States in the Union, affords the least op-
portunity for talent of that order. But per-
haps Sam is going out there to see if he can
make the Democratic minority any more
hopeless than it is-as a sort of final test of
his power.

FHE st. Paul Dispatch is developing into

enough arbitrary nonsense in postal regula-

TODAY THE CRITIC celebrates the four
teonth anniversary Of its birth, and the
auspices under which we ask our kind pa.
irons to partake in the festivities
of the occasion are most 1attering to our
pride. The growth and influence of this
paper, so small and uapretentous when it
first appeared, have becL as milestones in
the history of WashingtoTs progress, and
as THE CRITIC to-day is on a better basis
and has a brighter future tnan ever before
SO is Washington ITSELF resting on the
most solid foundations and confronting the
future with confidence and increased hope.
Said tho founders of The CRITIC In their
opening legend: "The province of this
journal will be to speak of the merits and
demerits of actors and artistes as they de-
serve, without fear, favor or affection, and
to present melange of operate, theatrical
and miscellaneous matters, which we trust
will be acceptable to our readers" 1t was
true to its promises of fair dealing. 1t
began with the only true principle that
guarantees success no matter how small the
scale on which It is practced, of keeping
faith with public which Is inclined to
take stock in your sincerity.
By degrees this small theatre bulletin
under the most skillful nursing, outgrcw
its cradle clothes, and within less than
two years an increase in size was dc.
manded by its business patronage. AS it
grew in stature, it grow in grace with the
community Five separate enlargcmcnts
have been called for, each indicating u
steady, reliable growth and increasing popu-
larity. 1t has been the policy of THE
CRITIC to watch the march of events, to
keep abreast Of the times, to take all now
channels of enterprise that appeared.
This policy has been improved upon by
the present management, and its wisdom
further vindicated by the most cordial sup
Poio "hu 5ohStouo appreciation. Hc cu-
largement in the sizo of THE CRITIC, made
when the present managers took control,
has already been found inadequate for our
rapidly increasing business. New blood
and a more Independent policy have met
with unexpected favor at the hands of
the public, and we SHALL as soon as
the arrangements can be Effected, add an
other column to each page of the paper,
and in other ways improve vastly upon our
news and press facilities. In short, when
ever the public calls, THE CRITIC will be
found quick to respond.
We have ordered and shall soon receive,
| from the mammoth establishment of r.
Hoe & Co. large new perfecting press, re-
flecting the very latest improvements, and
Col. Hoe, that veteran in the art, assures
us it will excel anything he has yet de-
vised.
Hence the present anniversary calls for
some display of pardonablc pride. We
thank the public for its confidence and sup
port, and assure our patrons we have come
to stay and to win success by deserving it.

SOMETHING is evidently out of plumb in
the office of the New York Tribune. The
Atlanta Conaitaion, for instance, has a
remark that the "letters written by special
correspondent of the New York Tribune,
who recently made an extended and
leisurely tour Of the South, have been
gathered together in convenient shape for
preservation. These letters, as we have
already had occasion to observe, are by far
the most valuable that have been written
from the South since the war. They are
not impartial, for their author appears to be
an earnest party man, but their value lies
in their absolute sincerity. They embody
faithful pictures of Southern society and
the situation here as they appear to II
thoughtful Northern observer. These
letters ought to have wide circulation in
all parts of the country Little Brooches
will get the concern into trouble at this rate.
Concessions of this kind will endanger the
usefulness Of Whiteaw Reid.

A Crisnean Hero.

Few, indeed, in this country are the
survivors who participated IN the battles
of the Alma and the heights of Iuker-
man and the "Charge of Baiaclava." ;"
La tho Office of the GAZETTE may be
found "typo" who was present al all
these engagements, besides the nume-
rous trench assaults and the disastrous
attack on the Redan battery, which oc.
Cured IN the Crimean campaign of
twenty seven years ago. The regiment
to which he belonged is the 2lst Royal
North British Fusiliers, which was, at
the battle Of lnkerman, under the com
mand Of the late Lord West (afterward
Earl Delaware. 1t will be remembered
that the Russ an forces were ten to one
against the British. In defiance OF mil
taTy strategy and without distinct gene-
raj orders, the soldier was LETT to fight
the enemy on his 'sown hook" And he
did fight-history tells the tale OF this
fearful engagement, which is now
known as the "Soldlers' Battle" Lord
West, now deceased, who commanded
the above regiment, was brother to the
new British minister, Hon. Lionel Sack
ville-West, who presented his credentials
to President Arthur the other day.

Dr. MayO's Address.

Rev. DIR. A. d. Mayo, of Boston, lec-
tured in School No. l, yesterday after
noon, on "Natural Methods of Educa-
tion." He divided the elements of a
child's instruction into three classes:
First-To teach it to reverence, utilize
and direct properly natural curiosity to
know things; second,to direct the child 8
attention to things themselves and then
sharpen its faculties by use, third put 1t
into Gods great university, the world of
nature, world of humanity and world
of books.
In teaching languages he urged in
structors to connect written words with
objects the children are acquainted with,
and then let them write the names. He
considered that the great secret of SPELL
ing is to rely more upon the eye than
the ear. Object teaching was strongly
recommended, in connection. with good
text books.
In The evening DR.. Mayo lectured be.
fore large and intelligent audience in
the oratory OF Wesleyan Female College,
on the subject, "Does Universal Educa-
ton PayP" His conclusion was deci-
dedly in the affirmative.

WASHINGTON, November IT,
An addition to Secretary Kirkwood's
annual report to the President
was finished to-day, comprising an
abstract Of the annual report of the
Bureau of Railroads submitted by
Commissioner McCammon.
1be gross and net earnings of the
Pacific railroads for the year ended
June 80, 1881, are stated as follows:
Union Pacific, gross earnings, $22,-
765, ,7520S; operating expenses, $11,-
494, 4,910.08; net earnings, $11 POO, ,S42 !;
total number of miles operated, 1879.
Central Pacific, gross earnings, $22, $685.
344.57; operating expenses and rentals,
$l8,502 ,5lA.4S; net earnings, $780,
$4,000; miles operated, 2,614. Northern

The last annual report Of the opera

yet been received, but Secretary Kirk
wood reports that work upon this road
Is being pushed rapidly forward and it
is anticipated that the line will be COM
pleted and trains running to Ell Paso not
later that January l next. The Secre-
tary suggests that the Thurman act of
May 7, 1878, should be so amended rs
to embrace the subsidized portion of the
Kansas Division of the Union Pacific
Railway within Its operations.
