the English schools under the School
Board is unequal to the demand. The
death of assistants is, to some extent,
due to so many giving up the school
desk for matrimony, but an even
greater reason is the exceedingly stiff
preliminary examination which the
young girl teachers are now required
10 pass.
Experiments on an extensive scale
have been made by the Dutch Govern
ment to ascertain the relative strength
of iron and steel girders. The soft
steel Orders proved to be 90 per cent.
and the hard steel Orders &C per cent.
stronger than the iron girders. 1t was
pretty we'll established that the strength
of steel Orders is about the same for
the two fanges if they are made alike

This act caused him to be fifteen min

that his first duty as soldier was to

with their feet covered with blood and

How a Fan was Confiscated.

The other day gentleman in pass
ing through the Niagara Falls country
bought n feather fan, for which no paid
50. On his way to this city the rail
road conductor informed him that he
would have TO pay duty of 81 so to
the custom officials at Detroit, which
news was received with surprise, some-
what spiced with indignation. As he
pondersd over the matter he observed
that the conductor was watching him
closely, and concluded that he was
acting TO q certain extent as 'spottern
for the customs officials. 81 wanted to
down that conductor" said the gentle.
man in relating the incident, land
watching my chance took the fan out
of the box and wrapped the box, empty,
up again just as / had received it.
Then put the open fan carefully I'M

emily, when | was sure the conductor
was looking at me wrapped the box
up ia my overcoat. When | got on the
boat to cross the river was conscious
that the conductor had posted the
customs man and so was not surprised
when the official walked up to me and
taking my overcoat unwrapped it let
ting the fan box fall out. How much
for the FAM says he. Three dollars
says !. The duty is 81 50,' he con-
tinued. and responded with. Not
much! He allowed that he had no
alternative, he must confscate the box
and fan, and that | could get it at the
customs office by calling and paying
the duty. So l let him take it, and for

The Democratic Clans Gathering

Ihe pemOcfhtlcS StHus Ghthefiuk.
CHICAGO, July 3.-The gathering OF
the delegates to the Democratic National
Convention goes on but slowly. A num-
Der from distant points and one solid
delegation, that of California, are here,
but as yet things in the local political
world are comparatively qaiet. The
subcommittee ON arrangements, OF the
National Committee, have been hard at
work here for the past week, but so far
their labors have been all in the direc-
ton of arranging and perfecting the in.
Vulnerable details OF the convention.
The changes in the hall are all but com
pleted and it is expected that the thea.
ter chairs for the delegates, aud other
seats, will go in position tonight. 1t
has been deci1ed to light the
hall with electricity, which will
not only illuminate the building
better, but also insure much cooler at
mosphere. W. III. Barnum, Chairman
ot the National Committee. did not ar
rive to-day, ms expected, but will be
here in the morning.
Among the passengers on the New
York limited express, which came to-
day, was ID. j. Manning, Chairman OF
New York State Committed, accom-.
panied by Edward Cooper and dozen
other Empire State Democrats, among
whom are two delegates. Mr.. Manning
said he did not 60 ne here with music
and bluster 10 nominate Cleveland, but
he came RS Al Democrat who be.
lieved that tbs best interests of the party
would he subserv,d by NJ. Clevelmd's
nomination. According to Mr.. Man
ning's calculations Cleveland will have
4S majority in the New York delegation.
An important caucus Of the New York
delegation will be held here on Saturday
night, at which Clevelands strength will
be actually determined. Referring to
this proposed meeting, Mr.. Manning
said: 1--WE don't propose to hold this
caucus unless all the delegates are pres
ent. We have no desire to take snap
Judgment. Mr.. Flower has members of
the delegation who will work to have
him nominated. We have no objection
to that; Mr.. Flower is good man, but
we do not think he has as fair show of
carrying New York as Mr.. Cleveland
has"
The California delegation brought
word that from fifteen to twenty promi-
nent California Democrats would be here
Saturday. They will open elaborate
headquarters aud work in the interest of
Justice Field. The California delegates
themselves, however. have announced
that they will inaueurate campaign
against Mr.. Field. Their efforts will be
gwen to secure the nomination of Tilden,
in spite OF his letter, but il that should
prove impossible, they will work and
vote as n unit for Thurman.

A Crystal Mine.

There has been found from time to
time, on the great Santa Margarita
rancho, in San Diego county, small
specimen of crystal or "pebble stone, "
as it is sometimes called. Now comes a
man who says that in the interior he
has discovered vast deposit of this
m ost valuable material, which is the
purest form of crystalized quartz, from
which eyeglasses and lenses for opera
glasses, microscopes and telescopes are
made, This man brought to the city a
sample of pure crystal, about eight
inches in diameter, from which a large
specimen was obtained for the HERALD
office. The specimen is equal to the
best Brazilian pebble, and cuts even
glass like diamond. 1t can be manu-
featured into personal ornaments and
articles of use for the table, and carries
the flash OF the diamond in its transpar.
ent substance. II this deposit is what it is
represented to be, il will add millions to
the wealth of the country. Truly South

made an examination necessary, were
discovered through inside vigilance, but
purely through accidental circumstances
on the outside. Senator Hale's proposal

The New Time Standard.

EDITOR HERALD - While dissent
ing in entirety from the argument
and deductions in your article
of Saturday last, headed "Tinkering
Time, | venture to call your readers at
tentioA to most extraordinary compli.
cation which, to my knowledge, has
actually resulted from the adoption of
this new method of reckoning time.
In the suburbs of Connecticut city,
farmer insured his barn and contents
against loss by fire with an Insurance
company, which we will call "a, " for one
year from noon, on the 25th of Novem-
ber, 1882, to noon, same date, 1883. As
the time of expiration drew near he was
persuaded by another company "B, to
accept their policy in lien of renewal
of his insurance in "a" The new stand.
ard of time had meantime been adopted
all over Connecticut.
The insured barn was totally destroy.
ed by fire, which was proved to have
originated at 1852 A. M, new standard
time--the alarm reaching all the fire de
partment quarters before l | :55. But,
the insurers contract with company
"a was made under the old method OF
computing time; and. by that system,
the equivalent of | l :52 A. NJ, new time,
was proven to be 1907 p. NJ, old
time. Hence, insurance company
"a" claimed exemption from liability
under their policy Of insurance, as the
one years indemnity hereunder had
expired.
The unfortunate insurer accordingly
was forced to look to "B" for indemnifi-
cation; but, as the fire started at IL :52
A. NJ. Tor before their insurance policy
came into eifect) he had no valid or legal
claim against them.
The case is being watched by Eastern
insurance men with much interest, and
may be novelty to our underwriters
here. There is certainly no legal re-
sponsibility attaching to Company "B;"
and there is none as against Company
"a, unless the court rules that the fact
of AS non.dissent to the act of the
individual who regulated its office clocks
in changing their intimation Of time to
the new standard is to be construed into
tacit consent of the company that all its
policies in the district in which the fire
occurred have been extended about 20
minutes beyond the one years insurance
originally granted.

THE Boston Adrsrtiser of a late date
contains a very elaborate letter giving
an inner history of the modHs operandi
by which Blaine and his friends captured
the late Republican National Conven-
tion. In all previous struggles of the
Planned Knight he was represented by
men OF national reputation and standing,
Senators Frye and Hale being his more
conspicuous fuglemen. The descent to
Powell Clayton and Steve Elkins, with
all the disgusting details of the lowest
order OF machine management, are
minutely described by the Adpertiser's
correspondent. The average Republi-
can voter is keenly alive to the change
from bad to worse which has been chron
icled in the national councils OF his
