This afternoon all the public schools OF
the city closed for the Christmas holidays.
In many of them there were pleasant en-
tertainmonts given, aud in nearly all OF
them there were presents exchanged
among teachers and pupils. The boys
high school is very deliberately decorated
with laurel and ivy, and at 4 O'Clock this
afternoon sOmG pleasant surprises, Or
ganized by the boys, were expected to
come of. In the girls high school,
concert, gotten up by tho pupils,
is announced. In the Chestnut street
secondary schools there we're pleasant
musical entertainments this forenoon, aud
Mr.. LevergOod's boys presented him with
huge gobbler, drawn to the school by a
team of dogs. Miss NJ. Iug, of the
Lemon street girls secondary, made
new departure from the usual Christmas
services, and inaugurated plan for tho
formation of school library. WITHIN
three weeks the teacher, parents and
pupils working in concert, have purchased
for the library forty'ti elegant volumes,
handsomely bound, beautifully illustrated
| and treating of many interesting schooi
subjects--history, geography, astronomy
botany, natural history, etc., etc.
At several other schools entertainments
and presentations took place, OF which we
may have more TO say to morrow.

THE Examiner deemed it notable that
the Democratic House of Representa-
tives in Washington should select one
who had been confederate soldier for
clerk and another for dOOrkeeper. When
reminded tnat the Republican Senate
has selected an eX.rebel soldier over a one
armed union veteran for sergeant at
arms the ECaiainer replies that " in
all probability the late rebel soldier has
been so thoroughly reconstructed as to
be better Republican than the union
soldier, and moreover, probably better
qualified to discharge the duties of the
office he has been honored with" THE
rebel sergeant alarms was chosen in
part because he represents q Southern
STATE where the Democratic majority is
doubtGul-in short, 80 small that it may
be wiped out in 1881 To this end the
said rebel may bear a good part. We
trust he will. There was no sentiment
in his election" This is the frankness

porary, There is no " sentiment about

City Finances.

Those who approve or pass lightly
over the tendency INDUCED 10 by
councilmen, from whom the taxpayers
have a right to expect better things, to
draw upon the appropriations of the next
fiscal year to meet the expenses of this
year, will do well to take warning from
the exemplary experience of this city
during the years ls7i.7S. During that
time the total increase in this fund, es-
tablished by law to liquidate the muni.
cipal Indebtedness, was not equal to the
interest on the balance in the fund at
the beginning of thisperiod The amount
in the sinking fund June |, 1874 was
SSS,15S 06. Had even the interest on
this been faithfully applied and rein
vested annually its total, without further
additions, by 1878 would have amounted
to Sill ,205.O6, whereas there was really
only 500 25s. .O6 in it, or sl2,037 less than
the amount to which the interest ac
count should have swelled 1t. At the
time of Mayor MacGonigle's induction
into Office there was no money in The
CITY treasury to buy bonds for the sink
ing fund and none available for thi:
purpose until after June |, 1878, This
too, In spite of the ordinance which de-
clares that it shall be the duty of tn,
finance committee to direct the invest
ment In the bonds constituting thu
funded debt Of the city, Of all approprla
tions that are now or hereafter shall bt
made to the sinking fund, and also III,
interest dccrting upon moneys non
held" Since the time Mayor Mac
Gonigie entered upon his duties the
sinking fund has been increased from
500, 25s, ,O6 to June |. 1Ss3,) Sl99 ,05s.05
This has been done only by holding tn,

SARA BERNHARDT can act effectively
off as we'll as on the stage. We hope her
latest enterprise will not add prison
experience TO those which she can give
from personal experience, though it
seems likely To do so, as the continental
countries are not such respecters of
women as to consider that the laws
are not made for them. Though Sara
may have our sympathy In her exploit,
she was clearly without the pale of the
law in executing her vengeance, and it
would never do for the police authorities
to permit TO pass unnoticed the raid of
an angry woman and attendant men
