LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

ing a tramp called at the residence of J. r.
Bell, at Seventeenth and NJ streets, and asked
for something to eat The breakfast table
had Just been cleared off, and the Young
lady OF the house was engaged III washing
the dishes. She invited the tramp inside,
and soon set him out nice lunch. After
he had finished his meal, he thanked the
young lady and departed. Some two hours
later she discovered that her diamond ring
was gone. She then remembered that be-
fore washing the dishes she had taken the
ring off and laid it on a chair next the one
occupied by the tramp. She felt very bad
over the loss, and never expected to hear of
the ring again. To her surprise, in the
afternoon, the tramp came back, returned
the ring and told the following story: He
said as he was eating the meal given to him
by the young lady, he noticed the ring. He
then looked at the dilapidated condition of
his shoes, and concluded to take the Jewel
and sell it for a new pair of shoes. He
walked from the house to the Capitol
grounds, and at every step something
would keep telling him he was doing
wrong. He had been asked in and kindly
fed, and he was robbing his benefactress.
He got down TO the Capitol building, and
after walking around it two or three times,
he decided that he would rather go bare
footed than steal a ring from such a kind
hearted lady. so he returned. While tell
ing his story the tears came in his ewes
seeing which the lady of the house gave
him 81 and told him to go and buy shoes
WORRIED ABOUT IT.-The letter of Super
intendent Welcker, published in yesterdays
RECORD UNION, in which lie holds that
there is no law authorizing City Boards of
Examination of applicants for teachers
certificates, and that the County Boards of
Education have full power in the matter of
certificates, has had the effect of worrying
many of the city teachers, who do not
relish the idea of being compelled to pass
another examination. Some of them fear
that they may lose their schools imme-
diately. It's not at all probable that there
will be any trouble, supposing that the
superintendent views are adopted, for
some months. and meanwhile those who
desire to be re-eXamined will have an op-
portunity to read up While the State
Superintendent has not formally decided
thisvI question, he is understood to regard
al essates granted prior to the adoption
of the Sange in the Constitution in No-
yember last as valid for the term for which
they We're granted.
