High Schools.

A writer in the Examiner this
week advocates the establishment OF
County High Schools and quotes the
law governing their establishment.
Although we have carefully read the
article by Rex, we are not clear in our
ideas as to what he would have the law
in the matter be. We quote that part
of his letter in which he refers to the
law; it is -
ut would seem that under the present law
there can be established two kind of High
Schools, viz: District High School and
County High School. TO enable the Com
missoncrs to establish District High
School, a suitable building for the purpose
must be donated by the Election District or
Districts fol wlic.i such High School shall
be established, whilst to establish the Coun-
ed with the power and discretion to do so,
whether the building thereof be donated or
not and in the language of the law, High
Schools established by the county shall be
under the direct control of the Board of
County School Commissioners Prior to
1880, the General Law authorized the Board
of County School Commissioners to establish
County High Schools, but in that year the
Legislature passed special net for Freder
ick County Commissioners in their discrc-
ton to appropriate sum not exceeding &c.
600 in any one year for the erection and fur
nishing Of new School Houses. From a
comparison of the General Law and this
special Act of Assembly, we would infer
that the power to establish a County High
School in this county is vested in either or
both Of the above Boards
AS lntimated in this paper several
months ago, there is evidently on foot
in this county some project for the es-
tablishment of High or Classical schools
and this letter is in our opinion but u
"pointer" or "feeler' in this direction.
There is in our opinion, no good rea-
son why SO large and wealthy county
as Frederick should not have Public
School facilities vastly superior to those
now enjoyed, but until the schools are
kept open during the entire scholastic
year as originally and by law intended,
we fear that to place an additional bur-
den of expense upon the school fund in
the shape Of High Schools would be to
curtail the privileges even now enjoyed
by the lower grades.
We repeat it, though, that it is a
burning shame that the Public Schools
of Frederick County are not only not
open during the full scholastic year,
but that we do not have High Schools
Of II grade known to the Pennsylvania
system for fully twenty five years. Is
it not too bad that we are 80 far behind
in The matter Of orr Public Schools?

An odd and imposing scene occurred
at the funeral of Alphonso XII, King
of Spain. When in the order of the
exercises, the body reached the monas-
terry, the Grand Chamberlain knocked
and asked admittance for Alphonso.
When inside the gates the chamberlain
unlocked the coffin and called three
times in Alphonso's ear. Then &C.
cording to the ritual he said There
is no reply; it is true the King is dead.'
BE then relocked the coffin and broke
his wand of Office.

The Euphrates river, once q mighty
stream, seems likely to disappear alto
gether. For some years the river banks
below Babylon have been giving away
so that the stream spread out into a
marsh until steamers could not pass
and only narrow channel remained
for the native boats. Now the passage
is being filled up, and the prospect is
that the towns on the banks will be
ruined and the famous river itself will
be swallowed up by the desert.

CHILDHOOD


oh re golden gates Of childhood.
Ope once more your portals vide,
ENTRANCE 10 that bliHsfnl region,
Where the joys Of life abide
Oft I've longed again TO wander
In that happy summer land.
Where we saw. with childish rapture.
Blooming flowers on every hand;
Where we heard the Joyous carols
OF the birds in every tree.
Found the echo. OF their singing
In our spirits secrecy.
Then our griefs we're Only shadows.
And our pleasures uneloyed,
In our lives no empty spaces,
In onr hearts po aching void.
FaE and wide Through earth I've wandered,
Mid the plca<ured men call best,
But | ID give them all in barter
For aa hour of childish rest
q. We happy days Of childhood,
Cast hale round my way,
let the echo Of your music
Break the silence OF to-day.
Dmly run thro dnrk.ning distance
Visions Of those golden gates.
And before them. closed forever,
Ny expectant spirit waits.

How the Mahdi's Forces are Organ
lied.

How the Mahdfs Forces are Organ
lied.
An Arab paper contains an interest
ing description of the organization of
the Mahdi's forces, according to which
the tactical unit of this army is the
brotherhood" consisting of ten men.
who are originally under the orders of
their senior in age. Any soldier, how,
ever, who especially distinguishes HIM
self may be promoted to the leadership.
Ten of these brotherhood form a
company, at the head of which is a
ferlk, and ten companies form regi.
ment, which is commanded by an emir
and his lieutenants. Every company
has It's linen flag, which invariably
bears the crossed swords that form the
military device of the Mahdi; but the
color of the flag varies, each regiment
having its own, and, in fact, being
known by Its color. Deeds of bravery
are rewarded by a present OF gold, and
any private NAV, by continued gal
lantry, raise himself to the rank of
emir When the Mahdi commands in
person, he is accompanied by ten emirs,
who constitute his staff, by ten officers,
who act as aids. de camp, and by four
mounted standard bearers. These
twenty-four immediate companions of
the General in Chief are alone eligible
to sit on courts martial and councils of
var. But the Mabdi has several unofh
eial councillors, and among these
doubtless are the two Frenchmen who
| according to the Paris papers, have
thrown in their lot with him.
