THE GERMAN SCHOOL.
Its Objects and Aims-The Comm q
VOIks.fest sr Its Benefit.

The German American School was
esta blished some two years since, in the
basement of a building in the rear of the
First Presbyterian Church at Ninth and
Market streets, the entrance to which is
on King street, just above Ninth. 1t
was not the Objec of the Orignators,
neither is il the object of the present
managers, to establish or maintain a
school exclusively for German children
r where the tuition is exclusively in
that language Oh the contrary, the idea
was and is,to instruct German children
in II Knowledge of the English language
and thus fit them to take theirplaces in
Tie excellent public schools with which
this city is so well supplied.
The originators also thought it ad-
visable to offer facilities to the children
Of American parents to acquire a
knowledge of the German language,
thai cannot fail to be Of the greatest use
to them in after life, hence the name
selected or the SChool--German-Ameri-
can. Part of the day is devoted to
teaching the lessons in German, and
part III English, thus the American
children acquire Il knowledge of Ger
man, and the German children knowl-
edge Of English.
The price of tuition is 20 cents per
week for one scholar, but where two
from the same family attend, is but
35 cents for both. AS the parents of
some children are unable to pay, their
children are taught without charge.
The committee have secured lady
ftom Baltimore, who now has charge,
and there is not the slightest doubt but
that she is well fitted and every way
capable to fill the position.
There are many PERSONS who h We the
mistaken idea that the school was rs.
tabliShed exclusively for German chill
dren, and that all the instruction is in
that language, ,and it Is to be hoped that,
from what has been said, such persons
will see their error, and understand that
one great aim OF the school is to make
good American citizens of the children
of the Germans residing in this city.
The school has never been self-sus-
tanning, aud last year a volks-fest was
held for its benefit that realized 5000 in
two days. 1t is now again in need Of
funds to enable it to be conducted in "A
proper manner, and next week another
volks- fest will be held that will con
time for three days, al which it is
hoped to realize funds enough TO
place the school on Il substantial basis.
The volks-feSt will be in lgurated by
! parade, that from presrut indica-
lions will eclipse anything Of the kind
ever attempted in This city, and Chief
Marshal RhoadS says that 1t will be
1t least twice as large as any that ever
ook place in this city.

week, during which time parrot had

been addressing everybody in the street
with he lree-and-easy invitation, " Kiss
me, kiss me, kiss me quick !" given in
perfect imitation of the human voice.

boring rancho, where they obtained a
supply of lilnorand started for home.
On the way two of their number,
named Eossiter and McKeever, engaged
in an angry dispute ON trivial matter,
and all repaired to he herders' quarters
to settle the difficulty. As soon as they
were inside the men clinched and both
fell to the ground, fighting desperately,
their companions urging them On.-
The tables and benches were removed,
and in an improvised ring the men beat
and tore at each other with the ferocity
of tigers. The ou-lookrrs in their ex-
element madly howled and danced
about, brandisling their revoDvers and
encouraging their favurite in the fight.
While the orgie was at its highest the
oil lamp was knocked tr"m its place
and the room was in darkness.
The men, now completely mad, ran
upon each other, and in minute after
the light had been extinguished, the
melee was general The door was lock-

each man fought for himself. Amid
the resounding blows and curses, a pis-
