There was, no doubt, something attractive
in the Lancasterian system Boys, like men,
are pleased with Office. To be q monitor
was an honor. Some emolument, also, came
to the higher grade, Of monitors an allow
ance per week sufficient to buy a top, a
pocket knife, or bali of twine with which
to fly kite. Another attraction of the
school was the trainingin elocution received
by the boys. Mr.. Lowell was an accom-
plished elocutionist. His exhibitions, it
was said, were as good as a theater, and
the basement room, notwithstanding its low
ceiling and bad ventilation, was fer several
successive nights near the close of term
filed with admiring audiences.
Such was the Lancasterian school as it
came before the mind of the writer while in
conversation with Mr.. Lowell on the occasion
adverted to at the head of this article. A
history of the Lancasterian school, from the
time of its organization in the spring of 1922,
down to the time of Mr.. Loyell's resigna-
ton, would make a chapter of interesting
reading. And as such history would as
a matter of course contain biographical
sketch of the veteran author and teacher,
John E. Lowell, it would without doubt be
Welcomed by thousands of those who have
been his pupils in former years. What the
writer of this article has attempted to do is
simply to give his impressions of the opening
of the school and scraps of its history dur
ing the eighteen months of its existence.

John z. Lowell And HIS Famous School.
To the EditOr of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Among the guests assembled at the golden
wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. J.. B. Baldwin was
Mr.. John E. Loven. so long and SO well
known in this community. MIR. Lowell is
now approaching his ninetieth year and
seems to possess good degree of bodily and
mental vigor On the occasion just referred
to, this veteran teacher met one, at least. of
his earliest pupils, one of the two hundred
and fifty New Haven boys who met him in
the basement of the old Methodist church on
the northwest corner of the Green on a
pleasant May morning in the year 1922.
The writer of this sketch was the pupil just
referred to, and at the meeting with his
former teacher his thoughts very naturally
reverted to the olden time. Sixty-one years
have passed away since John E. Lowell COM
menced his work as teacher of the Lancas-
terian school in New Haven, and very dis.
tinctIy does the writer recall the opening of
that school. The school room, teacher,
boys gathered from all parts of the city, up
town and down town, Glitch Corner" and
''Sodom Hill" as different sections of the
city were then called, are present to the
mind Now Mr.. Lowell at that time was
about twenty seven years of age, small of
stature but full of energy with all those
qualities which fit man for success In teach
ing. To the boys then and there assembled
it might have seemed hopeless task to or
ganize and control such turbulent mass of
juvenile humanity. Some one has
said that noise and boys were synonymous
terms, and the saying was fully realized on
this first day of school But order and
quiet after time took the place of noise
and confusion. The school was organized
was successful and popular, and the appilea-
tions for admission soon exceeded the accom-
modations. Doubts as to the feasibility of
the Iaucasterisn plan seemed to be satisfied
The writer has the names of more than three
hundred bows who attended the school with
in the first eighteen months of It's existence.
The room in which the scnool was taoght
was. as has been said a basement room 60x60,
poorly lighted and ventilated, the ceiling
low. the air damp and unwholesome, making
a strong contrast with the school buildings of
the present time. And yet, as have said,
the school was popular. Mr.. Lowell intro
duced- sort of military drill. The boys
formed in line upon the Green. extending be-
low the North church. Each class had its
standard bearer and at the click
0f the school hall marched with
measured step into the school room.

The forthcoming list of pensioners will be
printed in few days. It will consist of ten
volumes, numbering five hundred pages each,
giving the name, address, disability and
amount of pension of each of the three hum
dred Thousand pensioners now on the rolls.
The expense of printing will be over sixty
thousand dollars Commissioner Dudley
says that the catalogue will be a benefit to
the pension agents and to no one else. The
definite information thus given to the agents
will enable them to still further systematic
and increase their efforts to get the last
possible dollar out of the treasury. AS
things are now going, the files at the pen
sion Office are being thoroughly searched to
reach any cases thas may have been over
looked. General Dudley is very anxious to
pay out as much money this year as posi-
BILE. He wants to reach somewhere near
his estimates of $1oo, 100000. There will be
at least twenty millions left over on July 1
in spite of his efforts. When the fiscal year
is over the list will be almost cleared up. AS
things now look, it will be hard work to
keep up the recent high pressure much long
er. The number of cases on hand will not
permit it. What increase the new publica-
ton will have is not known. The opportu-
mites it will give to work up pension busi-
ness are SO great that several pension Off
ciais are thinking of resigning and becoming
claim agents. There are now 250 special ex-
aminers out through the country investiga-
ting alleged frauds. They do not settle two

UnmaSk the PretenGers

That Malone and his associates, says the
Richmond State, seriously wished to settle
the debt, their recent course has plainly
shown to be false. For they have been
founderinc awkwardly, now hoping that
they may deceive the people into believing
that the debt has not been settled, and now
fearing that If they do prove this to be so
they will be unmasked and their false
prophecy be exposed. But the debt ques-
ton has been settled, and it is out of poll
tics to return no more, and it cannot be
brought back despite the efforts of the Ma
hone leaders, who have never used this is
sue for any other purpose than their own
selfish ends. Grown desperate by the loss
of the single question upon which they
could divide the Democracy of Virginia,
they are struggling against their own
knowledge to hang on to this dead issue,
and their stump-speakers are now revamp-
ing their hackneyed harangues of '91, only
to make clearer their false pretenses that
they ever wished the debt to be settled.
The debt gone, where are these Mahone-
ties to go? Into the ranks of the Stalwart
Radicals. Have they not declared the foul
sentiment, "We are for Arthur because
Arthur is for us" and do not their cam
paign speakers-these political ''colonels,"
as they are dubbed when their appoint
ments are announced-refuse, with all their
sham military titles, to tell whom they will
support in 1884? Will you support Arthur
in 1884? has been asked them, and they
have feared to answer. They have lodged
the question and sat silent, the very picture
of misery, whilst by their duplicity they
brought themselves into the contempt of
all honest men.
No party can go before the people car
rying with it not the faintest pretence to
principles.
The debt having been readjusted, Read
justment is 10 more. Why then should
there be any Readjusters? But hanging
on to the old name these plunderers call
themselves Coalitionists. What does this
mean? The coalition or joining together
of some renegade Democrats and Stalwart
Radicals. For what2 For the public

robber.
Let no Mahoneite escape this question,
Whom will you support in 1884? Let the
people know that these fellows are only
seeking after plunder. For what honest
man can respect party which has no is
sues, no principles, no anything save an
insatiate hungering after the spoils9

From the Barbour (w. va.) Jeffersonian.I
A War Incident.

Editors Jefersonian: When Jones made
his famous Raid through Morgantown, in
1864, among the Rebel officers, was hand
some young Lieutenant Colonel, in COM
mand of one of the regiments. AS the bat
tle-scarred and travel-stained veterans came
troop;ng into town from every quarter, the
people, Cor rather the women, for the val
liant men of that loyal and war-like town,
had fled, leaving their wives and daughters
to the tender mercies of the famished rebel
hordes,) poured out into the streets to see
whether Lees fighting men wore horns or
feathers. This Colonel, young and hand
some, seeing bevy of young ladies on the
corner near Wallace's Hotel rode up to the
curb stone, and politely lifting his slouch
hat, said, "We hoped to have the pleasure,
ladies, of capturing United States Senator
in this town, when we came here" One
of the girls, a sprightly brunette, stepped
forward and said, "And what woSld you
have done with him had you been success
full? To this the Colonel replied, "We
would have treated him very kindly, Miss,
and given him free pass to Richmond, the
Capital of the Cenfederacy." To this the
lady sharply replied, 'FYou did not get him,
did you? He was too smart for YOU.
Why, he has more sense than the whole
Rebel Dynasty" Our young officer again
lifted his hat, and asked if he might inquire
her name, the young lady replied, that she
was Julia Wiley, the daughter of United
States Senator, Waitman T. Wiley. And
so the bloody war went on, and the young
lady is now the wife of State Senator VIM.

BILL ARP ON THE OFFICE-SEEKER.-
Uneasy lies the head that wears postofice
or most any other ofice-especially one
that has politics in it; most especially one
that comes from Washington where politics
is studied as a game of chess, and every
pawn and every piece has to be moved to
protect the king; that is, the President.
The player not only catches his adversaries
and sweeps them from the board, but when
the king is in danger he will sacrifice his
own men, who have been fighting faithful
ly, and sweep them away too. 1t is a won
der to me that anybody will banker after
such business. Before man gets an Of
flee he is doing something that makes a
living for his family, and breaks up and
loses his trade or custom, and begins to
live on salary and feels good for while;
but suddenly he goes overheard, and has
no trade or custom to fall back on. In the
meantime his children are growing up, and
have got new ways and habits, because pa
is in Office and handles more money than
he used to, and they must step up little
higher in society, and dress finer, and give
more parties, and take more fashionable
pew in the, meeting house. And so when
the fall comes it is a hard one, and the poor
fellow don't know what to do. He can run
q postoffice or collect the revenues, or get
after the moonshiners with alacrity, but
postofices don't lie around loose, and when
a feller loses one he can't pick up another
and keep on in the same line of business.
