A Tea cher's vindicatiOn.-On

A Teachers VindicatiOn.-On Friday
evening last, Mr.. Armstrong, Principal of
the Public School in this town. was given
hearing before Justice Kiger upon a charge
of assault and battery upon small son Of
Mr.. Jacob Poss, a pupil of the defendant,
and was dismissed. The evidence before
the Justice on the part of the State was that
Mr.. Armstrong whipped the child unmer-
cifully-welting his back in several places
and without provocatlon. Mr. Charles w.
Prettyman, counsel for defendant, showed
that the law gave teacher the same discre-
ton in using the rod as that of parent,
that rule of the school had been violated
that thorough investigation by his client
pointed to the guilt of Bernard Poss, and
that under these circumstances his client
had acted within the law and demanded his
dismissal.

Repairing the Aqueduct Bridge.


Mr. DUNCAN, one of the lessees of the
Alexandria canal, and president of the
Aqueduct Bridge Company, went to Balti-
more yesterday to conclude certain arrange
ments about the purchase OF lumber for the
repairs of the latter during the coming win
ter. The rapaHs will be confined almost
entirely TO the trunk, as all the necessary
heavy repairs were made last winter, and
those to be made next winter will, it is sup
posed, avoid the necessity for making any
more for several years. The canal is well
supplied now with water, boats are arriving
rapidly, and brisk business on it is ex-
pected to be done during the remainder Of
the season. Coal ireights have advanced
recently ten cents, being now ninety and
ninety-five cents to Georgetown and Alex
andria respectively. Many canal men do
not approve of the proposed enlargement
of the locks on the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal during the approaching winter, and
say that the existing capacity of the canal
is more than sufficient for the business that
will be done on it after the capacity shall
have been increased, and that while the
motive power requisite for two boats will
not be double that required for one, it is
certain that two boats cannot be propelled
by the same force that is sufficient to prope
one Wash. Post, Sept 30.

AUTUMN.

Autumn with her cooling breath
Comes welcome messenger,
To fan the mostened brow OF summer,
And wipe the death dews
From her fevered brow.
Rich in all the pageantry
OF gorgeous leaf and flaming flower,
She comes, not clad In sable
Robes of manteled woe,
But decked in bright array.
She comes the herald Of q dawning day,
When, weary OF life complete,
She falls asleep mid her own sweets
To wake brighter morn q at.f
Mid Joyous notes Of warbling song.
o. And thus it Is with him whose
, Life has been replete with E8
Noble deeds, ever bearing the heat
And burden Of the day, Lad, ,g.te
That he may be strength and stay
To those who faint along the weary way.
Glorious will the morning be
To him who self forgets,
And with words OF hope and cheer
Sees the dawning day appear. ..s

a question as to the existence of spotted Ca
giles on the west coast of Ireland has elected q
very interesting letter from Mr.. j. II. Sheridan,
of Dugort, Achill Island, Mayo, to Q London
paper. The writer asserts that this eagle, dis
tinguished by white spot on each shoulder,
is still to be seen there. These birds are ter
ror to the lnhabitant They will even goad
horses toward the cliffs, that the latter may
fall over, get killed or injured, and so afford
them food. Mr.. Sheridan tells story of .
mother was tending sheep, and her baby,
swathed IN red flannel, was lying on the
ground. While she was absent while the
bird swooped down, seized the flannel In Its
beak, and carried the child to nest on the
cliffs. A man descended the cliff and found
the baby NOW fine woman, not long since
resident IN AchilD lying on a ledge of rock.

The cholera is spreading IN the East and
advancing toward Europe. 1t has already
made considerable ravages at Alden, and has
reached Mecca where the Mussulmans are Im.
plorlng their Prophet. Two other epidemics
attract serious attention. The first is the vel.
low fever in Senegal. where the number of
victims has been great, and the second diph-
iberia, which has killed more people in the
south of Russia than any other epidemic, pot
excepting the plague. 1t has prevailed there
since 1872. In BessarabIa, $4,000 out of 80,

All kinds of burns, including scalds and
sunburns, are almost Immediately relieved by
the application Of a solution of soda to the
burnt surface. 1t must be remembered tina,
dry soda will not do unless surrounded with a
cloth moist enough to dissolve it. This meth
cd of sprnkllng it on and covering 1t with a
wet cloth Is often the best But it is sufficient
to wash the wound repeatedly with strong so
luton. 1t would be well to keep bottle OF II
always on hand, made so strong that more OF
less settles on the bottom. This Is what is
called saturated solution, and really such a
solution as this Is formed when the dry soda
is put on and covered with meisfened cloth

Patent Absurdtties.

The crudltles and stupidity of our system of
internal revenue, by which many millions in
excess of all reasonable demands are extorted
from the people annually, are we'll illustrated
by few samples taken at random. In his
last annual report, Commissioner Raum, the
chief of the Internal Revenue Department, in.
dcated few instances where taxes might be
reduced or abolished entirely. The needless
and annoying tax in the shape of bank check
stamps, which produced $5,27O,421 tor the
year ending June 30, 1880, is one that should
no longer be tolerated. In like manner the
tax of $2,347,5GS on "bank deposits" and the
sum of $l63,207 on Savings bank deposits, -
are unconditional nulsances. The tax upon
the meagre savings of the poor and humble,
deposited IN savings banks, Is especially OBJ
noxions and abhorent to rightthinklng peO-
pie; but when the tax Of two and halt mil
lions of dollars per annum, exacted from the
depositOrs is contrasted with the paltry amount
of 1871 436, levied upon and collected as n tax
upon the vast banking capital of the country,
the mOnstrosity becomes more mOnstrous The
tax upon friction matches, simple article
which IS used everywhere, from the palace of
the millionaire to the cabin Of the humblest
laborer IN the land, produced last year rev.
enue of SO, 56l 300, an amount more than four
times greater than the whole revenue derived
from the entire banking capital OF the country
The revenue derived from the tax on patent
medicines, pertumery, &c, was 81 ,S36,674 last
year, or more than double that imposed upon
banking capital, and the operation OF this tax
upon perfumery, it is alleged by dealers and
manufacturers, "has driven American perfum-
cry from the Mexican market"
These citations sufficiently show the stupid
absurdltles of our internal revenue system, and
call loudly for reform at the hands of Con-
gress but our Solons Of both parties seem so
immersed In schemes for their own personal
and political ACKNOWLEDGEMENT that we are not
sanguine of securing their attention to matters
which only affect the happiness and prosperity
Of the people These latter are dwarfed to
|lillputian proportions when they conflict with
the personal seishness or the political ambi-
ton of the average member of Congress-

The following facts IN reference to mutila-

ped, bored or mutlated," and give figures of
the pretended reduction. This is all fraud
on the innocent holders Of this sort OF coin.
THE government has done no such thing, and
any officer of the government who should at
tempt to do so would be liable to indictment
and heavy fine, as Congress has passed Sc
we're law to protect the people against sharpers.
The law is, however, that clipped or bored or
mutilated coins are not a legal tender, and are
worth exactly their weight in the metal Of
which they are composed, and this has fixed
standard value by law out of the reach of spec
uators Don't submit to this pretended reduc-
ton of 65 cents tor dollar, 80 cents for half
dollar, Is cents for a quarter and cents for a
dime. Go TO the bank or jeweler and they
will weigh your coin and pay accordingly.
This is game Of the sharpers and should
be stopped. The Secretary of the Treasury IN
behalf Of the government" has published q
card denying that the government has fixed
any rates of deduction on coin of any sort.

Your dispatch Of 4th inst. received.
We all feel grateful to the depart

ready to carry out his plans to the letter
Since the second inst, when 1t became
necessary to resort to extreme measures
against the hostiles, Ihave shown nothing
but kindness to them, and have abstained
from taking any steps which might have
any influence upon Sitting Bulls move
ments. He, with about $50 warriors,

and ready to bring him in whenever such
duty is entrusted to my hands; whenever
the peaceful negotiations OF Major
Brotherton and Scout Allison are ended,
I am ready to move against the remain

the appointment of my command to be
sure of success.
