ANNUAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Paw Paw Public School

The unusual success of the past two years
of our Schools il undisputed, and the deter
mination of the Board and Corps of Instruc-
tors is to spare nothing to make the year of
1856 surpass even those in the efficiency
of the work done, and the discipline and reg
ulations of the school. Those who are fit
ting themselves for work as teachers will
find in the teachers course advantages
beyond those offered by any other school of
our county. This course includes thorough
review of branches required for third grade
certificates, with privilege of regular classes
of High School in higher branches. The
tuition for Teachers Course is placed at the
very low figure of $3.50 per term of nine
weeks, being one-half regular tuition for
Fall Term, and class closes just previous to
fall examination. To all desiring to prepare
for college, we offer a course of study ap-
proved by our University, Agricultural Col
lege and State Normal School through the
proper executives, and the thoroughness of
preparation and intensity of work for which
our corps of instructors is Justly commended.
ALI specialties that are demanded by the
needs of the pupils and the best interests
of the school will be added, and all the eff
cient instrumentalities of the past will be re-
tanned.
New and improved heating apparatus is
being adapted, and all difficulties of the past
in heating will be entirely overcome.
1t is with the feeling that we offer the best
that we solicit the patronage of the public.

CoLoRED DEMOCRATS ASKING RECoGNI-
TIoN.-Mr. John W. A. Shaw, who was
chairman of the Colored Democratic Asso-
citation of New York, has made application
for the consulate at Antigua, in which
place he was born. From the time of his
naturalization he has been democrat, vo-
ting for Tiden and for all democratic can
didates since. Mr.. Shaw says he is dem
ocrat from principle, and he has always en-
deavored to impress upon his race that the
democratic party is the party for them. He
has resided both in the North and the
South, and he says it is undeniable that the
status of the colored man in the South is
better than in the North. To-day he was
presen ed to the President by Vice-Presi-
dent Hendricks. He said to President
that he and other democrats had to encoun-
ter many difficulties and oftentimes con-
tumely. He was not a spokesman, and he
was a democrat because he believed it right
to be one. He had no doubt that this ad,
ministration would do full justice to the
coiored people. As to the coloied demo-
Gratis, lie suggested that they should be
placed on the same footing as the white
democrats, and that the administration
should show its appreciation of their labors
and sacrifices by substantial recognition
The President listened with evident inter-
est to Mr.. Shaw, and assured him that what
he said should have serious consideration

ter to Russia, stating that NJ. de Gicrs, the
Russian minister of foreign affairs, asked

whether arbitration was required to settle
the pending difficulties. As result of the
cabinet discussi d, Earl Granville init
mated his Willingness to defer the laying OF
the dispute before third power for settle
ment provided NJ de Glers admitted the
principle of arbitration. A further COM
munica,ion from Sir Edward Thornton was
received at the foreign office tonight. 1t
is reported that the English minister states
in this dispatch that Russia accepts the
principle of arbitration. a cabinet cpun-
Gil has been summoned for tomorrow.
The Czarina. whose influence is nearly alb
solute over the Gar, is actively assisting
in the peace negotiations.
The Sunday editions of the London
newspapers confirm the report that secret
treaty has been made between England and
Turkey, according to the terms OF which
England will be allowed to send men-uf-

Of war.

CLEvELAND's LAST APPOINTMENT
The President is naturally supposed To be a
very c'ld man when approached by tn
o..iiee seeker, and the Office seeker now rep
resents the alleged popular sentiment.
The Mngwum is the demon of the office
seeker, because he whispers to the Presi-
dent to make appointments on character
without recommendation. The President,
like the good Caliph Haroun Alrachid
pronounced Alrasheed, accept on the last
syllable), likes to find out tue truth when
the politicians will let him. He was driv-
ing out the other evening by the Soldiers
Home when as the carriage entered tho
gate a little newsboy ran up and called out
his schedule in the prof ssonll way of the
gamin. But the little chap bad such q
gay, honest look about him that the eX-
Sheriff Of Buffalo, who knew something
about the incipiens struggles Of ambition,
was very much struck with the little news
boy. lie could see at a glance that lie had
been there selling papers all the winter in
storm aid shine, and wien be asked
about the little boy he found out that he
was working for q poor mother. The
President drove on after buying a paper,
but the next day the little nowsboy was
summoned to the White House. He had
ilVeu oH toH centS gay anu sdVeu us Iest
of his profits for his family. He was as
much astonished as Cinderella when she
saw the fairy chariot to take her to the
bali, but he appeared before the Admins
tration and told his story. The President
said he must refer the anecdote to the
Treasury Depa. tmen5 and sterply dismissed
the ne wsboy. who went over to the Treas
ury DEPARTMENT and presented the little
scrip Of paper which the President had
given him. MIR. Manning smiled and APP
pointed lin messenger at $40 a year,
which beats selling newspapers at the gate
of the Soldiers Home. This is a bright
light in the Office seeking campaign that

PLENTY OF TIME.-Persons who COM
plain that the substitution of Democratic
for Republican officials in the federal SER
vice is proceeding very slowly should re-
member that it is nevertheless going on,
and that there are still at least three years
and ten months in which to complete it.
The people, no doubt, voted last Novem-
Der for change, but they are not in a hur-
ry. They see that there must be careful
deliberation in S, lecting officials for respon-
sible positions, if the administrative short
comings of the Republicans are to be
avoided. They want ''clean sweep" be-
you'd question. but they want the offices
cleaner six months after they have been
swept than they were before the sweeping
Sun.

ii. ST. GEORGE TUCKER FOR ATTORNEY
GENERAL.-From letter, dated Char
lottesville, April 9th, and published in the
Warren Sentinel, of May LIST, we extract
the following:
The importance of making good Sc
lection for the position of Attorney Gene
raj at this crisis is almost impossible to ex-
aggerate. In canvassing the list of our
aoie and learned bar, we point with proud
pleasure to one Of VirginiA's purest and
pest statesman, Fl. St G orge Tucker, of
oIaunton. Va, lawyer of great learning
ana ability, Democrat of the old stock
IN tne last two campaigns no man in the
otate deserves mole credit for his exertions.
labor, ard time given to his party. His
talents, requirements, patriotism. experi-
ence in public speaking. and his urban;tv
to all citizens, give him an influence in the
State OF Virginia such as few men have
ever possessed. know not his intention.
but the enlightened judgment of the peo,
pie should claim his services and make him
the nominee of the party with unanimity
which he cannot disregard"

For GOvERNOR.-From different parts
of the State we hear the demand for Fitz
Lee for Governor. 1t is well to analyzs
these booms sometimes, and see what starts
them. Those who personally know "Little
Fitz.," as his troopers loved to call him,
can tell you that he is a man to love-a
glorious, open. warm hearted fellow-that
would be a leader in every company of the
populace. "Who is that officer with plumes
in his hat, sitt ny on the ground at the
picket post?' asked Federal picket of
Confederate while swapping tobacco
and coffee. ''That's Gen. Lee," said
Johnny "What Gen. Lee?" ''Fitz Lee,
General of the cavalry" ''That's what's
the matter with our id service" said
the Federal. "We Ike off cur has and
stand with 1t in our hand before Colonel,
and there is General sitting ON the ground
talking and laughing with the men,"
That is one point. A man with a kind,
brotherly htart-a man of the people.
Another point is, he i true man-never
deserts a friend-never forgets favor
never afraid to face a fact.
Then he is brave man, morally and
physically, stands by his convictions and
his princIples-treats mel as a gentleman
should, and makes them treat him in the
same way.
A splendid soldier Virginia gentle
good fellow! This is what brought
the cheers from thousands on Pennsylvania
avenue on Inauguration day and this makes
the boom for Fltz. Lee for Governor
Lynchburg AdUaRce.

THE END OF THE REVOLUTION IN PAN
AMA.-The forces of the United States of
Colombia Thursday occupied Panama with
out opposition from Alzpuru, the insurgent
leader having surrendered and given up
his arms in accordance with the arrange
ment of the day before.
Quiet is restored and business is every
where resumed. This happy conclusion of
the troubles of the Isthmus is most probably
due to the moral effect of the prompt and
decisive action taken by the United States
in landing troops and demonstrat ing to the
turbulent element the futility of any move
ment on their part that involved peril to
the lives and property of American citizens.
The Cleveland administration may fairly
congratulate herself on its determined
course in the matter, the result having
proven the soundness of its policy.-BaH.
