Safety Of Children on the Streets,

10 the Editor OF THE EVENING STAR.
The remarks of Judge Slell in a case before
his court a lew days ago have caused some COM
ments. Think that those persons who have to
drive horses through our streets will most
. heartily approve of the judges lecture. Our
beautiful, wide, smooth streets offer to children
such Il tempting playground that one mas to
use the greatest care in driving or he will run
over one or more playing children. Groups of
boys Of all sizes may be seen kneeling down
deeply interested in holly contested game of
marbles; Ii you are driving YOU will try to get
past them and avoid running some OF
them; Just as you are about passing the players
one OF them suddenly darts light under your
horses feet in attempting to recover over
shot marble. Ii q gentleman is driving he may,
should he have gentle horse, succeed in stop
ping him and tn US save the boy, but should the
driver be lady, the chances are that the horse
will strike the boy and become frightened him.
self and perhaps run away.
Then it is not an uncommon sight to see two
or three little girls, holding one anothers hands.
attempt To run in front of Il horse. You care
July guide your horse and think that the dam
ger Is past when one OF them will suddenly run
should escape runnin. her down it will be a
miracle but if you should strike the little one
you are called a reckless brute and will be ar
rested for fast driving. Nor is this ali: Children
OF all ages turn our smooth streets into skating
rnhs and 20 darling and flying about so that it
is quite Impossible TO avoid running over them
Children going to school will often run in front
OF your horse and then attempt to frighten h m
by throwing out their arms school bags
almost TO the very face Of the frightened horse
Now, it seems to me that until our streets
are made safe for those who drive horses and
children are taught that the streets are not
Fairgrounds and skating rintss and are also
Taught to use more care AND less reckessness,
too much blame should not be attached to thos g
who drive horses G. A. NORTON, NJ. d. I.

the Soudan? Mr.. Grover Cleveland was elected
TO the first place in the gift of the people
without any competitive examination what
ever, and we dare say he is totally ignorant
of the important facts that Henry Irving wrought
the Infamous injury to Mrs. Langtry which
drove that lady to the stage, that Hamilton
killed Aaron Burr by foul, that the who
fired the Ephesian dome was far-off uncle to
the late j. Wilkes Booth, and that Grant won
the battle of Waterloo by a prehistoric and
thoroughly cca.emptib!e agreement with the
Duke of Wellington to that dsgraceful effect.
1t Is as lamenta6le that men IN high place should
be ignorant of the rule of three. or whatever the
number may be, as that men in low place should
be unfamiliar with the ways of Charlotte Corday,
the late Mr. Byron Lucretia Borgia, his serene
majesty George the Fourth, and, may add,
the Hon. Mary Queen of Scots
SO the Graphic presents the excellent Mr..
Dorman g. Eaton as Schoolmaster general and
Educator Extraordinary in and for the United
States. Possibly he may have to undergo
competitive examination with that end IN view;
but, happily, whatever his grammar may
amount to, there is nobody who can approach
him judge of knowledge and wisdom and it
is the clmacterc ecstacy of this reform philoso-
ply that somebody must be at the head as an
inevitable necessity, whether he knows anything
or not. Mr.. Dorman B. Eaton must go to the
front. He must be utilized by all the little and
large conventions, so that it may be positively
ascertained whether man is fit to
serve as delegate, pound master,
a town clerk, a State SENATOR a United
States senator, a Cabinet minister or
President. If it shall transpire that the people
have elected the wrong man to any of these
places, Notwithstanding the Schoolmaster-e gen
erals previous unfavorable judgment regarding
him, why it will be merely necessary to hold
another election and select the Schoolmaster-
generals man. 1t is quite true that this will
subject Mr.. Eaton to a great deal of hard work.
His infinitely wise spectaces will have to bob up
and down with as much serenity as possible in
six different places at once. But he is great
man, and we feel sure that his competitive
animation, if he were to have one. would show
him to be entirely competent for the numerous

honors of his position be inherited by his de-

Cleveland, Gen. Chinese" Gordon and King
Humbert, of Italy. In addition to these the
volume is illustrated with numerous wood cuts
of other distinguished personages connected
with the past years history, and of various arti-
cles that have come into prominence. The work
rounds up the year, and has the advantage OF
being thoroughly trustworthy. In addition to
running history of all the countries OF
the world, the book presents the
discoveries in all branches of science,
archaeology, astronomy. medicine, microscopy,
photography, electricity, and, in fact, all the
circle of advanced knowledge. The remedies
that have been brought into prominence are
described and named. The campaign in Egypt,
the Afghan complication, the war in Tonquin
and Formosa, the political troubles in France,
Spain and England the progress of the cholera,
and similar topics of general interest are fully
considered and eluc:dated The neurology among
