TIE MODERN SCHOOL TEACHER.

Twas Saturday night, and teacher sat
Alone her task pursuing;
She averaged this and she averaged that
OF all that her class was doing.
She reckoned percentage OF so many boys
And so many girls all counted,
And marked all the tardy and aosentees,
And to what ali the absence amounted.
Names and residence wro'e in full,
Over many columns and pages
Canadian. Teutouic, African, all,
And averaged all their ages,
The date Of admission OF every one
And cases of hagellatlon;
And prepared list Of graduates
For the county examination
Her weary head sank low on her book,
And her weary heart still lower
For some of her pupils had little brains,
And she could not furnish more
She slept she dreamed, it seemed she died,
And her spirit vent to hades,
And they met her there with a question falr,
state what the per cent. Of your grade Is =!
Ages had slowly rolled away,
Leaving but partial traces,
And the teachers spirit walked one day
In the old familiar places
a mound OF fOssuized school reports
Attracted her observation,
As high the state house dome, and as wide
As Boston since annexation.
She cana to the spot where they buried her bone
Aud the ground well built over;
But laborers digging threw up skull
Once planted Oe1eath the clover.
A disciple OF Gaen, wandering by,
Paused TO look az the diGgers,
And picking the skull up ook'd thro' the eye,
And cav it was lined with figures
"Just as l thought, said the young D.
How easy it is 10 kill EN-
Statistics Ossifed in every fold
OF cerebrum and cerrebellum."
ats a great curiosity, sure" said Pat,
by the bones you can tell the creature
"Ob, nothing strange" said the doctor; "that

THE NAVAL ACADEMY.
Secretary Chandler on the Recent Trouble
at Annapolis

Secretary Chandler on the Recent Trouble
at Annapolis
WASHINGTON, March 11.-Secratary Chan
dler yesterday addressed the following letter
bearing upon the recent trouble at the Annapo-
lis Naval School to Captain Ramsay, the Su-
perintendent of the academy:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 10.
Sir,-The cases of the Naval Cadets Frazier,
Quinby, Sweeting, Sparting, and McCord are
referred back 20 you for further consideration
and final recommendation. All the papers
concerning them which have been transmitted
to the department by you are herewith return
ed and various letters interceding in their be-
half are also forwarded to you for considera-
tion. 1t is not the intention of the department
to interfere, except for extraordinary reasons,
with such measures and rules as the Superin-
tendent and academic board may adopt for the
discipline and instruction of the cadets. Such
frequent interpretations procured by the parents
or influential friends of the cadets
would soon demoralize the academy,
and would ultimately change it from a school
OF special instruction and severe discipline de-
signed to fit the cadets for the perils, cmergen-
cies and patriotic enterprises of a naval life in
to an ordinary institution of learning If it
ever becomes such it could not be hereafter
maintaing at public expense Of $45O,O9O an
nually. In making your final recommendation
REASONABLE leniency should be shown those Ca
diets whose improper conduct may have result
ted from haste or youthful thoughtlessness,
and their future career should not be clouded
by dismissal for light causes. On the other
hand, the real welfare of the whole school
should control the action of its authorities, and
the effect which may be produced upon the
great body of cadets by the retention of persis-
tent wrong doers should have full weight in
and decision.
Very respectfully.
VIM. L. CHANDLER,
Secretary of the Navy.

THE STAR ROUTES.

Delegate McGinness on the Witness
Marehf shffYpd. Y5.d ns ueroneo opssss
the days proceedings In the Star route trial by
calling Delegate Martin BIcGinniss, of Mon
tana, to the witness stand. He had favored the
establishment OF the Bismarck-ToDgue river
route because it was the natural eastern outlet
for the mails Of his territory. After the estab
lishment he had sought to have the service in
creased and expedited. He did that in COM
pliance with the requests of delegations and
petitions He called upon Brady with that OBJ
ject several times. BE thought Gen. Miles ac-
companied him on two of these occasions. Be-
fore the establishment of the Tongue river
route Salisbury controlled the only inlet into
the country, and it was with the additional OBJ
ject of breaking up the monopoly that witness
sought to have the service established. The
contractor and the amount oil pay were un-
known to him. That knowledge was not with
in his province. At the conclusion of his tes-
timony the introduction of official papers was
resumed.
The court showed much annoyance at the at
tempts on the part of the defence to argue
upon the admissibility of certain class of pa
pers. After court had ruled them out and per-
empGorlly ordered Mr.. Hinkle to be seated,
that gentleman promptly noted an exception to
the language of the court, to which Judge
Wylie rejoined sharply, "The court will use
any language that will be effective for the pur-
pose, and will not stop at language either"

connection with the Kearney Kent route,
showing, he asserted, Brady had refused the
request for expedition, although if the Gov
erument's theory were correct he might have
pocketed some money without risk by granting
the request.
Mr.. Merri TX objected because it was an offer
to show that man had not committed one
fraud by showing that he did not commit
another and a subsequent fraud
The court said it could not assume at this
stage the Government had proved fraud, for
that was what they were trying. The mott ses
of the Second Assistant Postmaster General
were worthy of serious consideration. The
act offered to be proved tended to throw light
upon those motives, and the paper should bo
admitted. Walsh's testimony had been intro
duced TO show Brady habits,and this evidence
would be received for the same purpose.
Reading of the papers was continued up to
adjournment.

Virgins Claims His Prediction was Full

OTTAWA, March 12.-Wiggins to-day claims
his prophecy literally fulfilled. The highest
tidal wave ever known at Halifax was expert
enced and kilograms received from all parts in
dicate a severe tempest, He has always enter
tanned the greatest anxiety for safety on the
shores of the Bay of Bengal and Gulf of Mexi-
co. In the former the major tidal wave of
which the minor on our coast was reflection
must have occurred on the afternoon of the
10th, London time hundreds of thousands of
lives perishing. He characterizes that storm
as the greatest that can occur on this planet
and the greatness of its extent is the only hope
of safety in any particular quarter. He makes
sly hit at the Canadian and United States
authorities for not hoisting their storm signals
until after the storm was actually beating up-
on the continent. Some people he adds, ex-
pected an impossible storm yesterday, but he
repeatedly said his object in making the pre-
diction was for the safety of mariners, as no
danger could possibly occur ON land except in
the vicinity of places named as being exposed
to the tidal wave, but people like to be fright
ened and cling to their own Interpretation in
preference to mine.

Arrives at Halifax all Right-The Cap
tain's Account of che Voyage.
HALIFAX, March 12.-The steamer Missouri
of the Warren line, with the disabled Inman
steamer City of Chester, came to anchor at 5
O'Clock this afternoon off the wharves. Capt.
Watkins, of the City of Chester, reports:.-
"Sailed from New York March 3D.; had fair
weather and all went well until LOS ON the
following Monday afternoon, the steamer then
being $50 miles from Sandy Hook, when sud-
denly the engines raced away, and on exami-
nation the screw shaft was found to be broken.
Sail was at once put on and the ship proceed
ed, keeping in the track of steamers so that If
we should be spoken assistance could be OBJ
tanned. At 2.30 Tuesday morning the steamer
Suevia was signted. The latter laid by the dis
abled ship until morning and took her in tow.
Abou $50 on the morning of the 7th one of the
two ropes connecting the ships suddenly parted.
The captain of the Suevia then signalled that
he must proceed for New York alone. 1t was
blowing heavily and Capt. Watkins requested
him TO lay by the City of chester until the
weather moderated as he wished to be towed
back in the track of steamers but the Suevia
replied she was in want of coal and steamed
on her way without rendering any further as
sistance. Sail was put on again and the City
OF Chester continued towards Halifax. At 6
a. IN. on the 10th the steamer Missouri, bound
outward, was signalled Tow ropes were
adjusted and the two steamers head
ed for Halifax. Between IL and IL Satur-
day night hawser parted but tho shipSiwere
again connected and good progress made to-
wards this port. On Sunday the wind blew
very heavily but no further accident happened
until 10 O'Clock this morning as the ships were
making Sambro, when the line parted a
second time, causing further delay of several
hours. The City of Chester was again got in
tow and was brought into port without further
mishap.
One of the passengers on the City of Ches-
ter this evening stated that considerable anxi-
ETY. was exhibited by his companions after
the ship was left by the Sueyia, as she was in
much worse position than when first picked
up. Sable Island, with its many dangerous
shoals running cut for miles in every direc-
ton, lay some so miles to the leeward OF the
steamer and a good southerly breeze was blow
ing towards this dreaded spot. The steamer
was drifting at the rate of two and half or
three miles an hour for fourteen hours. This
continued when the wind changed to west and
the fears of the passengers subsided.
The mails and passengers of the City of
Chesterlwill probably be forwarded to their des-
tination by the Allan Line mail steamer leav-
ing here Saturday.
