THE Baltimore Sun objects to the teaching
of German in the public schools of that city
In answer to the argument that gratuitous
instruction in this language would meet a
popular demand, the Sun remarks with some
asperity that doubtless free ice-cream. or in
struction in dancing or roller skating would
also prove popular features of the public
school curriculum, but that these and other
extras German included, can better be left
to private and individual enterprise and effort
Wherever the sentiment of thinking PEOPLE
makes itself known, it is found to be in the
direction of looping off superfuous studies in
the public schools. The managers of the sys-
tenn are so far outside the current of opinion
that their tendency to add to the curriculum
is in no wise abated from its early vehemence.

THE meeting this week of the survivors of
the antecedent Legislatures, as well as Of the
one which first assembled under its provisions,
will be an event of great interest, not so much
because of the work really performed by those
bodies, but because of the natural interest CEN
tering about an assemblage of men who have
lived SO long, and seen so much of the progress
and development of the State and Nation. We
cannot feel that there will be any special oc-
casion for rejoicing or felicitation over what
was done in the constitutional convention;
the resultant organic law was not one to
particularly challenge the admiration of man
kind, either then or now But the meeting
will serve the purpose of showing how far the
State and the country have outstripped the
petty prejudices and narrow bigotries of that
day, some of which found expression in the
Constitution. and have always been reproach
to the Commonwealth; and it will, in addition,
give the opportunity for reminiscence and
personal reunion, that cannot fail to
be to the last degree pleasant to
the older generation of men, and of
the deepest interest to the younger generation
that has grown up within the last third of
century. The men composing the convention
and the Legislature were, of course, prominent
In their several localities. Many of them
have since that date risen to high distinction,
and occupied places that brought them before
the eyes not only of the country but of the

OLD GATHER" DAVIDSON, of the Green
vile Conference, Kentucky recently aston
ished the sweet singers of that State in way
that they will not soon forget. The choir
didn't sing to suit him. and he criticised it.
He advised the members to pray for grace to
sing with the spirit and the understanding.
They probably didn't do as he recommend b,
or if they did, they received no benefit. He
couldn't stand it any longer, and repeatedly
during his exhortation he would raise his
hands and devoutly cry: Lord, save the
choir~ The phrase Caught on" as the
worldly say, and it became by-word on the
streets whenever member of the ill-starred
choir appeared. The result was that they
could not muster courage to occupy their
accustomed place of prominence in the church,
and it is not at all likely that they will while
Brother Davidson remains at conference.
'Lord, save the choir!" might with reason be
cried up and down the land everywhere if the

TWENTY boys, averaging fifteen years in
age, and all graduates of Boston grammar and
high-schools, were examined in that city the
other day to see which was best qualified to
fill position as general clerk in an insurance
Office. The requirements were moderate de-
handing only fair penmanship, good spelling,
correctness at figures and the use of good En-
glish, but out of the twenty not one came up
to the required standard. The Boston paper
which mentions the occurrence gives various
reasons for this lamentable failure, but reach
es the root of the matter, probably, when it
points out as defect Of the school system
that pupils are not made to depend upon
themselves, bat that the teachers do the work
and give so much oral instruction that
the children, though entertained and some
what enlightened, do not get the permanent
benefit to be derived from laborious study, and
leave the school room with a confused
jumbling Of facts and no firm foundation of
learning fixed in their minds. 1t is a popular
notion that children nowadays study too
much and too hard; but there is reason to be-
heve those among them who cannot endure
the school work are bewildered more from the
multiplicity of subjects which demand their
attention than from close application to their
books. AT all events, it is a fact not to be
denied that boys and girls of former genera
ton, whose entire schooling was comprised in
half dozen three months terms learned
to spell, and write, and "cipher"
with an ease and accuracy which many chill
dren do not now attain after ten years
course in the schools. Under the old system
the pupils did not listen to so much instruc-
ton in geology, botany, physiology. astron-
omy nor did they devote much attention to
music, drawing nor to German and French
all of which are dinned into the ears of even
the babies now; but what they did learn was
of immediate use, and an excellent ground
work for the practical education which must
come in later life. The boosted system, as it
now exists, needs considerable remodeling
before it meets the demands of the people
who patronize the schools.

The attempt to discipline Bishop Merrill,

Conference, for having the temerity to ex-
press his opinion against the folly Of those

seeking admission into the Pittsburg Confer

A PHILADELPHIA woman calls upon house
wives to keep the cholera away from this coun-
try by saving and selling paper-rags as their
mothers and grandmothers used to do, and thus
preventing the demand for filthy and possibly
infected foreign rags. 1t is great idea, but
impracticable. Contrary to tho opinion of the
Philadelphia woul6-be philanthropist the women
of to-day are more economical than their mothers
and grandmothers and have no rags to waste in
paper making. They put them all into crazy
quilts and PERSIAN rugs"

MADAME JuDIC.

1t is very distressing to learn that, after all
the rejoicing of the New York dramatic crit
les over the exceeding condescension of Mad
anne Judic in exiting herself from her be-
loved "Paree" for the sake of American thea
ter-goers, after all the highly favored antici-
pations of pleasure, or, more properly, antici-
pations of highly favored pleasure after all
these preliminary jubliations it is sad to
learn that these same critics are disappointed
in the Nadame's figure. For French actress
Of Che ''protean" type to possess an ungraceful
form is little less than sin, and it would not
be surprising to read that the eager-eyed and
expectant admirers had, in their dismay pro-
nounced her an utter failure. This, however,
is not the case One of them, at least, waited,
after the first appearance Of the short, heavy,
ing actress, to the end of the first act 1t was
well for his erstwhile disappointed soul that
he did So Although Madame Judic is stout
and far from vivacious, although her voice is
$50 light as to be scarcely worth considering
in a musical sense" she sang and smiled her
self into the impossible "Crinkle's" heart.
Before she had sung her first ''chanson'-your
true dramatic reporter just naturally drops
into French-he was in love with her. She
used her voice with so much fnesse, we are
informed, and emphasized it's nuances-look
in the back part of Websters Unabridged
for this-with such charming tricks of
gesture and flashes of countenance,
whatever they may be, that she was
charming in spite Of too exuberant physical
development. Several times, says this reas-
sured and once more happy young man, the
lines dubbed out of the actress as if laughed
instead of sung and in singing her songs, he
remarks eloquently if not elegantly, she trans
fused them with a calm and exquisite drollery
as unlike the 'chic" of Theo as rose is un-
like a mosquito.
1t is great dramatic mind which can rise
superior to sight Of square waist and no ankles
to speak of where there had been reason to ex-
pect sylph-likc proportions, and that this
metropolitan Journalist has done so
is the more to his credit, since it
is so unexpected. Although the provinces"
have had their expectations as to legs and
other physical features of the drama raised to
a high pitch by the earlier and mistaken dis
sertations of these metropolitan critics on
Madame Judic's art, the feelings of these gen.
tlemen will be considered and no malice
treasured up for them. Theater-goers of the
country who are fortunate enough to see the
Madame flush her countenance and bubble her
lines will esteem this sufficiently remarka-
BILE privilege, and will forego the usual part of
such protean entertainment without muir
mur.

understanding with her agent Chizzoia. The
latter having made the contracts in Europe with
Colonel Mapleson, which brought the primo

that he could not accompany her the voyage
he was bound to Madame Ristori. The fair
Emma promptly lost her temper and declined
to be consoled when she learned
that Chizzola had arranged for the
prima donna to be escorted to America by bis

introduced 10 her agents brotherjn-law, she
seemed to be soothed by his appearance. and
pleasant relations soon sprung up between the
two young people. At shs time Miss Nevada
was engaged to young American named Chat
terton, and by that gentleman's influence she
joined the Catholic Church. She was apparently
very fond of her lover, and looked for happy
time with him in New York When it was
announced over here that Chatterton had been
given his congo and that Palmer was to be the
happy man, there was no other comment except
unbounded surprise.
