1t was pleasant sight yesterday morning
to see tho streets alive with children on
their way to school Commencing soon be-
fore o'clock the gathering Of the clans was
observed, and about $50 the streets were
thronged. Tho fronts Of the schoolhouses
were gay with the variegated colors of their
dress and their happy appearance. 1t was
observed that each OF the little ones seemed
eager to go. As q rule, with few exceptions,
the Washington public schools are very pleas
ant TO the children.
The Irregular" scholars, those who were in
their seats when the schools closed last ses-
sion, were seated at once and everything was
soon in working order. The greetings be-
tween pupils and teachers were warm and
CHEEKY. In most cases. however, the greet
ings were almost Immediately followed by
farewells, rs the transfers were already made

Trouble over Rent.

The neighborhood of Tenth street, between
G and | streets southeast, was considerably
agitated last night over the actions of a
colored man known as Squire Moss and n
colored constable named Taliferro both of
Anacostia, who, it is.alleged. forced their way
through tho back window of the
residence of young married couple
residing on that block and seized
n lot Of furniture for debt. The young man
who owns the furniture stated to o REPUBLI-
CAN reporte that the house is tho property
of Mrs Kaufman, and that she told him not
to paw any more rent to the agent, Mr. Lowe,
bntto hold it pending certain negotiations.
He did as she requested, and laid the money
aside. Being ready to pay at any time he
was, therefore, very much surprised last night
to find his windows forced open and the
furniture removed by Moss and Taliforr0. lie
