Rumored Defeat of the French by Black
Flags.
A rumor was current in Paris on the 9th
that the French Admiral Courbet, with his
forces, had been defeated in Tonquin by
the Black Flags and his communications
cut off. No authentic information had been
received from the French Commander,
which fact caused general belief in the
rumor. A semi-oficial announcement was
mad in the newspapers to the effect that:
"We are authorized to declare that up to
the moment of going to press the Govern
ment has received no dispatch from Ton
quin unfavorable to the French. Alarmist
reports may therefore be regarded as
false.n

A Lesson in Honesty

A very pleasant incident occurred in
one of our public schools not long since.
1t seems that the boys attending the
school, most Of whom are at the age of
from seven to eight, had, in their play
of bat and ball, broken one of the win
dow panes in a neighboring house. No
clue could be obtained to the boy who
| had broken it, as he would not confess
his act, nor would any of his associates
expose him.
| The case troubled the teacher. The next
day gentleman called to see the
school, an acquaintance of the teacher,
who knew how to talk to children.
After telling him of the breaking of the
glass and her inability to ascertain who
of the boys had broken it, she asked
him to make some remarks to the school
and to speak of the wrong the boys were
doing in not acknowledging the act.
The address to the school, therefore,
was upon the conduct of boys in the
streets and at their sports. He told
them in simple words that honesty,
truthfulness and kindness should govern
their conduct everywhere, even when
they were alone and no one but them
Sclfeo anu uOu hucN Wlldt lu6f were
doing. The scholars seemed inter
ested and somewhat impressed by the
remarks of the speaker.
A short time after he left the school
a little boy arose in his seat and said:
miss Lane, batted the ball that
broke Mr.. Dash's window. Another
boy threw the ball, but. | batted it. and
it struck the window. I am willing to
pay for it.
There was death-like stiffness in the
room rs the little fellow was speaking,
and it continued for full minute after
he sat down.
Il don't think it would be right for
Charley Drake to pay the whole for the
glass; said another boy, rising in his
seat. s.All of US who played ball then
should pay something, because we were
all playing the same as he was. I'll pay
my part.
.sAnd T.
s.And L.
A thrill of pleasure seemed to run
through the whole school at this display
of honesty and of right feeling by the
boys. The money was brought the
next day, and the lesson will not be
forgotten either by teacher or pupils.
