Marshal Henry Talks of Fighting.
Special to the Cincinnati.


WASHINGTON, November 27.-A Star
reporter met ex-Marshsl Henry walk
ing around the rotunda at the Capi-
tol looking at the paintings.
Why, Marshal, said the reporter,
Il thought you were out of town"
''No," SAID the marshal, smiling,
Il went away after my family, and
got back yesterday"
"Wa the acton of the President
surprise to you?"
Hardy; they have been after me
for some Time, watching my every
movement, in ord.r r t, get something
against me, and finally they deter
mined to ge' rid of me at any rate "
''What do you think of the
charges?"
Simply infamous. They have
nothing against me. Why, these
two taiesmen that I selected voted
for conviction"
''Some say you were dismissed
because you were friend of Gar
feld?"
THAT seems to be the general
impression / find. But they will
find that while the friends of Gar
field will not whine on account of
loss of place, they will not suffer
assassination of character. Neither
will the people, and it will be found
that they have had enough of assas-
slnation IN every form ?"
What are you going to do, Mar
shall ?"
Il am going tonight" was the
emphatic response.
The reporter also saw Mr.. NJ w.
Parker, who was busily engaged at
the Capitol In the discharge If his
duties as officer of the day. He
SAID he did not know that he could
DO anything more than the letter
That he had written. He thought
that ne had been sasriGsed need
lesslv.

The Public Schools and the Public
Desire.
New York Sun.

ne-tenths of the children who
attend the public schools are sent
there solely for the purpose of get>
ting simple elementary instruction
They go to the primary schools to
learn their A B Cs, to be taught to
read and write. They are put in the
grammar schools to be grounded in
arithmetic, geography and history.
That is all the instruction that they
have time for, all that can be
properly given them in the time they
can spend at school, and all they
really have immediate need for. The
general demand, the vox populi, is
for that sort of instruction, and no
other. II the attention of the
average run of pupils is diverted
from these simple, elementary and
essential branches of study to others
which are more ornamental or valua
BILE only as q foundation for courses
to be pursued subsequently, their
time is so far wasted, and they are
defrauded of their right.

Secretary Folger Thinking More OF
MatrimonY Than Resignation.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial
WASHINGTON, November ~ Out
of a report that Secretary Folger
proposed to give up his handsome
residence near the British Lega ion,
at the expiration of his lease, De,
cen Der 18th, grew the rumor that he
was to retire from the Cabinet on
that date. This rumor was very Cir
cumstantially put in a dispatch from
Washington, published in New York
this morning. 1t was said that the
Secretary had rendered his resigna-
ton, to date from December 18th,
and that the President had
accepted it. It was added that
after his resignation he would
settle down in New York as counsel
for he New York Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company. Secretary Folger
classed both statements with the
nonsense which has been written
about his forthcoming report, as alb
solutely without foundation. The
statementas to his becoming coun>
sci for the life insurance company
was also denied by the president of
the company. 1t is stated that
Secretary Folger has renewed his
residence lease for another year, and
it is reported that before spring he
Will have married again.
A Stalwart friend of President
Arthur said tonight: Il have no
doubt that Secretary Folger is en-
tirely sincere in saying that he has
no present intention of resigning.
[ have reason to believe that the
President, with equal sincerity, has
recently expressed desire that he
would reign. Having taken Judge
Folger from what was practically
life position, the President does not
see how he can with decency shove
him out in the cold. But he hoped
that Folger would resign when he
was nominated for Governor of New
York, and that on another occasion
he was equally hopeful that Judge
Folger would accept the mission to
England. He would offer HIM any
Office in his gift gladly if he thought
the old gentleman would give up his
present position for it. It looks,
however, as if the President would
have to wait.

ments of the Press Thereon.
New ORLEANS, November 80. The
Picayunes Baton Rouge special
says: The Governor has issued a
proclamation ordering an election on
February 9Th for a Congressman in
the sixth district, to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of General Her
ron. The Governor has ordered
PRONUNCIATION of the vote of the third
Congressional district without givs
ing a certificate to any one. Kellogg
has 1887 majority. Senator Kel-
logg has left for Washington. The
Picayune, commenting on the with>
holding Of Kellogg's certificate by
the Governor, says: s'In reality we
suppose nobody seriously doubts
either that Kellogg is citizen of
this State, or that he was duly
elected by the votes of the third dis,
trict. Every attempt to defeat the
will of the people y legal subtleties
and fimsy pretexts is blow at the
popular will and a stain upon the
honor of the party which makes it. !"

Recently strange horse, of progresses
ing appearance, though heretofore unknown,
entered the race with the most favorite on
the track, and unexpectedly unfaveled such
marvellous qualities that when he reached
the goal, the palm of victory was awarded
him, and all (many unwittingly) had to pro-
nounce him without an equal. Such is ex-
actly the case with Foss & Schneider's
'NonpareiF Export Lager, for when it
first, and but very recently, was presented
to the public, everybody was at once aston
ished at its unexpected qualities, and all
pronounced it never to have been and never
to be equaled, and thus the s'Nonpareil, !"
after short, decisive battle, planted its
banner of victory on an unapproachable
