A WHIST PARADox.-There is that fa- nous hand III which the Duke of Cumber- laud held ace, king, queen, and knave in one plain suit, ace, king, queen in anoth- CT, ace, king in the third, while in trumps he he held king, kuave, nine and seven aud yet WI h this perfectly magnificent hand and the lead, leading also quite cor T. ctly, he d,d nor take a single trick. This seems incredible :; but when the hands are suppl ed, the solution of the problem will be readily seen. The four trumps lying just over those held by the Duke of Cum- berland, viz, the acA, queen, ten and eight, were on his left. wi h nine diamonds, while on his right were five small trumps. He led a trump, which was taken on his left, and a diamond ltd--trumped on h,s right. Another trump was ltd through him which was similarly taken, and anoth- CT diamond led, which was also trumped on his right. Another trump led through the duke caused his last trump but one to fal; the last was then extracted by the player on his left. The duke had now no diamonds, that being the suit of winch he hat held only the zee and king. Then the diamo ds on his left wer,. as good as trnmps, ani maie all the rem ming tricks. -R. 4. Proctor

Look TO the Primaries.

The primary schools are emphatically
and distinctly the schools of the people.
Nearly all who share the benefits of the
public school system begin in the primaries,
and many of them 60 no further. The
number who graduate from the highest de-
partment of the system is relatively small,
Embracing on their rolls the largest nun.
Der of pupils and teaching the rudimentary
branches, the primaries, in larger degree
than the other grades, are in strict accord
with the original idea of the common
schools.
In very few places, however, and in the
minds and attention of very few directors,
we apprehend, do they receivethe attention
and provision which their importance de-
mands. AS rule, the primary schools are
crowded far beyond the capacity of their
accommodations and the ability of the
teachers to properly handle the large num-
Der OF scholars entrusted TO them. In this
city, for instance, one teacher reports an
average monthly enrolment of rs,
another of 81, and two others of
6S each. This is far too many. The
mother Of half-dozen small chill
dren knows better than any ore else
the large responsibilities and difficulties of
caring for such a family none
viii appreciate better than she the i'm

possibility Of q teacher managing, to her
own satisfaction and TO the benefit OF the
school, more than fifty pupils.
Under such embarrassments there must
necessarily be little individual attention
and less acquaintance of the teacher with
the scholar the one is list sight of in the
whole, the time, energy and patience of
the teacher are taxed to secure quiet and
restrain disorder, and the result is merely
mechanical system which fails to satisfy
the teacher and to do justice to the scholar.
The primary schools are in the main the
schools of the poor. Their children it is
who must quit school earliest and during
the short time they stay they are entitled
to at least equal advantages with the better
favored. The cheapest teachers, the most
insufficient apparatus, the poorest school
houses, and the largest number of pupils
| to the teacher are found as a rule in the
| primaries. Is it fair! Is it eXpedient?

Dubious SInteryieWs."

The papers TEEN with interviews y
nowadays with representatives of the adj
ministration and their critics. upon the sub
ject of removals and appointments and the
principles and policies which should govern
and control them. There are such fine
shades of difference in the opinions upon
this theme that it Is by no means safe to
accept the " interviews " us they are sent
ont by the correspondents.
In a recent newspaper statement of Mr..
Hays views, for instance, the important
word not y was omitted from one of the
versions published and another " inter-
view with him, widely published, was
almost entirely fictitious, we have high
authority for saying.
a Col. Goode, of Missouri, reports pri-
vate conversation purported to have been
had by him with Mr.. Randall, in which the
language is, no doubt, twisted to convey a
different meaning from that which was in
tended by Mr.. Randall; and indeed We
have authority for the statement that il
some particulars the alleged conversation
reported is entirely fictitious.
1t is safer and surer and fairer to credit
! public men only with the views they pro
claim by their own tongues, over thei
own signatures or through unquestionet
authorities
We have no doubt, however, that MI
Randall, in common with his party genel
ally, believes that most Of the offices shoul
be filled by Democrats under Democrat
administration, entitled to agents in polit
cal sympathy with it, and that the teri
offensive partisans will be seized upon b
the Republicans in the Senate to max
trouble over removals that needed no sue
pretext to justify them in the eyes of goo
citizens and sensible politicians.
