Good Teachers For the Primaries.

Supt Buehrle, in his last monthly report
to the school board, dwells forcibly upon
subject to which the INTELLIGENCER
has frequently called public attention-the
Importance of securing good teachers for
the primary schools and of keeping them
there. To secure this result there must be
less disparity between the pay of the pri-
mary teachers and those in charge of
schools Of so-called higher grade.
The city superintendent, in common with
nearly all other educators of wide expert
ence and keen observation, knows ''of no
good reason why all the beginners in teach
ing should be obliged to experiment on the
youngest, the most impressible, and hence
the most easily and the most last
ingly injured pupils" The error in
thepublic schools is possibly one that per-
vades our whole social system. In the
training of the family, as in the culture of
the school room, too often the plastic
mind is heedlessly left to be affected by
influences, which if not positively bad,
are at least weak and insufficient for the
receptiveness of tender years. Supt.
Buehrle comments with due severity upon
the practice of not only putting the begin
ners in instruction into the primary schools,
but "as soon as they show superior qualifica-
tions as teachers replacing them by such as
have no experience, thus condemning these
schools to be taught either by the inefll-
cient, or by the inexperienced.
1t is unquestionably true that there are
some persons who have the special gift of
successfully yimpartiny instruction to young
children these teachers cannot always
stand the "best examinations" OF, as ex-
aminations go, command the highest GER
tifcate; but superintendents, directors,
and Others interested in securing the best
school system, ought to be able to find out
them and their merits, and when they get
the right teacher in the right place he or
she should be kept there and paid his or
her worth, regardless of an arbitrary and
artificial standard, which afllxes salaries
and assigns teachers irrespective of special
aptitude and merit.

Butler's Address.

General Buffers eulogy upon General
Grant deserves careful reading and close
study. 1t is the expression of an able and
original man, whohas something to say and
says it in the most direct way. There are
some objections made that il is devoid of
rhetoric. On the contrary it is master
piece of rhetoric in the best sense of the
word" the art of elegant and accurate
composition" Its author has not sought TO
conceal ideas, nor has he hunted for gar
nishment to deck out the nakedness of
thought with frills and frippery. This
speech is full of substance.
There will be many to disagree with
Buffers estimate of General Grant few
will assent to it in each and every particu-
lar. But his must be narrow and parti-
san mind who fails to recognize behind
this grafton man of great mental force
original habits of thought and a large
knowledge of his subject. 1t is idle to say
he speaks of Grant with prejudice against
him because of their military differences
He anticipates that criticism and hits il
squarely on the head though there was M
need of it, for the close association of him
self and Grant in civil and political life il
well known TO the country.
On the whole, General Butler has thu
far delivered the most notable Grant ora
tion.

THE question of what is real amusement is
now deeply exercising the minds Of the sum
mer population of Ocean Grove and Asbury
Park along the New Jersey coast Asbury
Park is frivolous enough to permit skating
Kinks, bowling alleys, billiard rooms, cigar
stores and that most sinful of all mundane
pleasures, dancing. To the godly people liv
ing on the other side of Wesley Lake, which
separates the resorts, all these are the abomi-
nation of desolation. But Ocean Grove is
forced TO contend with more insidious evil.
1t seems that the dreadful bathing suits
which custom makes necessary at the sea-
side are very fashionable as street attire at
Ocean Grove. So general became the prac-
tice of wearing these robes on the street that
it became necessary TO post the following
notice: awe arc sorry to see that the regu.
lation respecting people parading on the
streets i'm wet and very brief bathing suits is
not observed. In less than an hour fifty of
these mops were counted as they passed one
corner" 1t would require considerable psy-
| Geological research to determine which form
| of amusement is moro godly-that of the
| rinks, billiard halls etc, or that of the folks
who play the part of animated dish rags in
most unpoetic suits of blue flannel. To an
| impartial third person it would seem that
| more genuine fttn-eould be evolved in the
survey of the latter.

KILLED BY BUEGLARS.
A New York Merchant Shot in His Own Hou
Monday Afternoon.

Monday Afternoon.
Albert r. Herrick, liquor merchant, OF
No. GO William street, New York, was shot
at his residence, No. 239 Pearl street, Brook
lyn, Monday afternoon, and has died. IL is
supposed that burglar, who had entered the
house and concealed himself in the cellar,
fired the shot Mr.. Herrick staggered from
his house about halfpast p. M. crying in
faint tones " Burglars Police Murder "
He had not been within doors more than fl ve
minutes when he was seen TO come out from
the basement door,
Mrs. Frank, the wife of druggist at the
corner of Pearl street and Myrtle avenue, was
wheeling her baby along Pearl street al the
time and Mr. Herrick appeared in his court
yard. She ran to her husbands store when
she saw Herrick fall upon his grating. Two
or three gentlemen who were in the drug
store ran out to Herrck's assistance, but the
wounded man expired while they were try
ing to help him. Before he died he
murmured "burglars." A pistol shot wound
was found in Herrick's left side. lilo held in
his hand portion Of a candle.
On investigation tracks OF blood we've
found on the steps leading to the cellar OF
the house, and the police think that Mr.. Her
rick had gone down TO that portion of the
house on some alarm, and there been shot
A neighbor, Mrs. SamInis, saw man seal
ing the fences of the same row of houses
just after the shooting, and gave fair dc.
scription of him. The probable burglar en-
tered one OF the houses on the block and ap-
parently passed through il TO Jay street. Mrss
Herrick formerly kept the Windsor hotel at
Coney island.

LANCASTER, AUGUST II, 1885.
The Origin OF Stamps.

Probably few of the millions of persons
who daily place stamps on their letters and
deposit them in post box at the nearest
lamp post know that it is only thirty-eight
years since stamps were first used in this
country. Fewer still know that Anthony
Trollope, who was one of the most efficient
of postoffice officials as well as one Of the
greatest and most productive of novelists,
secured the adoption of pillar boxes in
England long after they had been in use on
the Continent
1t was seven years after the germ of the
present postage stamp was adopted in
England that the system was finally put
into operation in this country. In 1887
Rowland Hill, the genius of modern post
Office progress, began his agitation in favor
of cheap postage and the more prompt and
efficient delivery of letters. Various sug-
gestions were made as to stamps, and de-
signs were submitted by a large number of
the artists Of England. OF these the most
famous is the Mulready wrapper, unsoiled
copies of which now command many dol
lars.
About the first of August, 1S47, in ac-
cordance with a measure approved on the
3rd of March, just preceding, stamps of the
denomination of Sand 10 cents were issued
by the postoffice department at Washing,
ton. Cave Johnson, who showed himself an
efficient postmaster general, had ably and
zealously promoted the adoption of the new
system. This answered the needs of tn,
service until July 1851, when the reduction
of postage made necessary the series of
and 8 cent stamps, which were soon supple
mented by new SIS and los, and by add
tional denominations OF ~, "a, 80 and 81
cents. Since that time the changes hav
been too many to require enumeration, ant
the aggregate issue ran into the bill
lions last year.
Too little attention has been paid TO TIN
artistic beauty of these stamps, and tn
( vignettes of some men unworthy this homo
have been given an unduly wide publicity
The present series, while defective at man
points, is an Improvement over its prede
cessors. The stamps are larger than neces
saQy and their artistic execution not cred
liable, and their printing very bad. AS n
new denominations of stamps will be re
quired for many years by any further re
ductiOn of postage, it would be well if tn
president and the postmastergeneral wOul
give some attention to this matter and sc
cure the issue of an altogether new series
in such shape as shall satisfy the astheti
instinct as well as the convenience of thei
millions OF constituents.

Fool or kuaye!

The New York Times gives an admira-
BILE setting down to Mr.. William NJ.
Hancock, who has lately been removed
from the Office of postmaster at Meridian,
Miss" In his place was appointed J. j.
shannon, of the firm of Horn & Shannon,
owners and editors of the Meridian Me,-
curry. That paper, on July 25, coarsely a.
sailed the memory of Gen. Grant, and a
clipping of the matter published has been
sent over the North to evoke condemnation
OF bhannon's appointment. Hancock sent
tito the Times for that purpose.
But the Times points out that in the

A DOUBTLESS well-meaning contemporary
recently criticized the use by the ISTELLl-
GENCER of the term " funeral obsequies"
in describing the contemplated burial of Gen.
Grant. 1t is always most sagacious to wait
until one has fallen before offering to pick
him up. "Funeral obsequies" conveyed
the exact idea which the INTELLIGEN-
GER wished to convey. Obsequies is
from the Latin of Scquor, / follow,
and Oh against, or after. Thus in its primary
sense it referred to the last act In the burial
of tho dead. BY custom it came to be used
for the whole funeral service by those who
did not understand its derivation. The ad-
jective "funeral" is very properly applied
to the last rites or "obsequies." No less a
person than Milton wrote:
Him I'll solemnly attend
with silent obse9uy and funeral train.

Mercury Of Aug. 5, it finds card from
Mr.. j. j. Shannon, in which he says
The article thatlappeared last week in the
Mercury headed Grant is Dead was written
by Col A. q. Horn, and does not in any
sense express my sentiments. first saw 1t
in the Mercury after 1t was published and at
once expressed my disapproval of II, and
desire to say ! am In no way responsible for
Its publication. While the whole nation,
North and South, sympathized with Gen.
Grant In the many sufferings of his last i'll
ness, and now mourn the death OF so distin-
guished soldier and citizen, the article
strikes me as singularly inappropriate, and,
in my opinion, in no way expresses the feel
ings of the Southern people"
As this appeared in the daily edition OF
the Mercury before Hancock wrote to the
Times, 1t concludes that he knew of it and
sought to misrepresent his successor, like
his coadjutors in the North seek to misrep
resent the entire Southern people because
of one FOOLS screed.
