expects to come near being Surrogate.
The TArTLEB hoped to be able to present
Ex-Surrogste McCague's portrait, too but
he is 80 long that there wasn't room for it
in one of our columns. Some day, when
we haven't much news, perhaps we may
give up a page to him-if we can crowd
him into that compass. Nature moulded
him for use, apparently, IN the era of the
mastadon and megatherium, but laid him
aside till he was forgotten, and then pre-
cipitated him into this era of the. pigmies.

MIR. JosLIN,s RE4FPoIN1MENr.
What is Said by Member of the Board in
Explanation of 1t.


What is Said by a Member of the Board in
Explanation of 1t.
The appointment of Ex-Principal Joslin
of the High School to the Principalship of
Public School No. 10 on Crescent avenue,
occasioned surprise throughout the city
when it became Known.
SIT was for this reason that he was ap-
pointed" said member of the Board of
Education to an enquiring TATTLER last
evening. +" A good many of the gentlemen
whose judgment l took upon the subject
of Mr.. Joslin's removal from the High
School, felt that his punishment had been
severer than the nature of his offence call
ed for. He had been pulled down from a
high position as an educator, and they
thought that his mere expulsion from the
High School, if followed by an appointment
to some other school, served all the ends of
Justice. We concluded that these views
are about right, and as he had been billed
in all the papers--and especially in the
educational papers-and SO prevented from
going anywhere else, we agreed that we
could afford to be merciful, and put him
back in the Principalship of No. IL school,
He had served in that school for eighteen
years, and made an unblemished reputa-
ton there. Mr.. Day, the principal of that
school, did not resign to make room for
him. He is about to enter upon the prac-
tice of medicine, and his resignation was in
no wise related to Mr.. Joslins appoint
ment."
When will Mr.. Joslin enter upon his
new duties7" asked the TATTLER.
Well, was the response, :" Mr.. Days
resignation is to take effect October /. Mr..
Joslin goes into No. 10 school the next
day."
1t is said that President Walker was the
hardest member of the Board to convince
that Mr.. Joslin should be reappointed ;
but he finally consented.

Mrs. Marks is the keen witted daughter
of Mrs. McSherry, who keeps a boarding
house at No. 227 Warren street. Friday
afternoon Mrs McSherry was away, and a
neat looking little fellow who applied TOR
board was waited upon by Mrs. Marks. He
engaged room, and when board was de-
manded in advance, explained that he
would first go the depot and attend to his
baggage. He was gone an hour, and then
he came back. He had been in the house
but few minutes when the door bell rang
and messenger from TIC. Brown & Van
Angler stepped in with bundle for
the new boarder. The new boarder an
swered the bell himself, gathered the bun
die under his arm, told the messenger to
sit in the parlor while he got the change,
and went up stairs. Mrs. Marks liked
neither his looks nor his actions, and fol-
lowed him up with demand for the adj
vance board. -. 81 20
"Haye you got change for SOP" he
asked.
He knew very we'll that Mrs. Marks
"Well, !" he said, ST will go and get the
change" g5a 4
He started out, with the bundle under his
arm Then quick witted Mrs. Marks knew
his whole game was to swindle T. @. Brown
and Van Anglen out of the money to be
paid for the goods in the bundle. He had
been to the firms house on Newark avenue,
purchased supply of winter undercloth-
ing and ordered it sent to the house. Mrs
Marks rushed into the parlor.
. If you want your money" she said
hurriedly to the messenger, ssyou will have
to go after that man who just went out of
the door" IA
Quick as flash the messenger darted
into the street, and oyerhauled the thief.
He had no money, and gave back the
bundle.
