FOREIGN MINIsTERs.

Mr.. Cleveland is evidently fond of
making surprises. When such. old
democratic war horses as Thurman and
voorhees, and Macdonald were left out
of his cabinet, his friends answered the
complaints by saying that he was re-
serving them for.important foreign mis-
sions. On Monday the president sent
the following names to the senate to be
confirmed as ministers plenipotentiary
of the United States: Edwin ]. Phelps
of Vermont to Great Britain, Robert NJ.
McLane ofMaryland to France, George
III. Pendleton of Ohio to Germany and
Henry r. Jackson of Georgia 70 Next
co.
So the important foreign missions
are all filled, and the old war horses
are still out in the cold. The appoint
ment of Pendleton is not surprise and
Is very creditable, but no comments
can be made on the other appointees
for the reason that the world knows
nothing about them. 1t is surprising,
by-the-way, what a quantity of hither-
to unsupported talent and ability Mr..
Cleveland is unearthing. Or he still
endeavoring to fill his offices with men
who know less than he does?

ROSE HILL SCHOOL.

1t was with great pleasure that we
awaited ourselves last Friday morn
ing of the invitation of Superintendent
Henderson, to accompany him on a
visit to Rose Hill school. 1t was the
last day of the winter term and when
we arrived at the school house about
1l:30 we found quite number of the
patrons of the school present to cele-
brate the occasion. The teacher, Mr..
8. H. Patterson, now one of our furni-
ture men, was conducting the various
classes through an DIAL examination
on the studies pursued during the
term. The answers were prompt and
accurate, showing a training that was
alike creditable to scholars and teach
er. During the hour and a half follow
ing our arrival, more visitors contin-
ued to arrive until the house was we'll
filled. About one O'Clock the examin-
atoms were brought to close, and Mr.
Patterson, with an explanatory word,
presented Miss Laura Swinney and
Master Remsburg, each with a diction-
airy as a reward for the best records in
the advanced and the primary spelling
classes respectively. He then made
the hearts of all the other pupils happy
by a generous distribution of candy and
oranges.
School was then dismissed and
the house was turned over to the ladies
of the district. Tables were quickly
spread, great baskets full of good things
were brought from dozen or more
wagons; and in a short time we were
invited back into the house to take our
place at bigger spread" than we had
seen for many day. We have heard
something about hard times this win
ter, but they surely haven't struck
Rose Hill district yet. The multitude
made steady raid on the eatables for
fully an hour, but were finally obliged
to give up the assault, leaving still
fragments enough for a small army.
At about $50 the school was again
called to order, and by request of Mr..
Patterson remarks were offered by Mr..
Henderson and by nearly all of the
patrons of the school whowere pres
ent. 1t was certainly gratifying to
the teacher to be assured, as he was by
every one of his employers, that the
term of school just ended had been
the most satisfactory one ever taught
in their district. Indeed we never re-
member to have visited school in
which the relations between teacher,
pupils and parents seemed more cor
dial. 1t was pleasure that we shall
not soon forget, to visit school where
the teacher appeared to think of some
thing besides his wages, where the
pupils evidently came to school because
they wanted to and not because they
had to, and where the parents came on
the last day to feast and congratulate
the teacher instead of to abuse him.
