The practice Of young men congrega-
ting On the corners of tue streets is be-.
coming too general in our city. The
remarks made in many cases will net
bear repeating, and offences against coed
manners are too common. The law
should be- enforced, and the several par.
ties he compelled to seek other quarters
in which to pass their leisure time.
There are reading rooms as well as
churches, that are open nearly every
evening, and in them something far
more ennobling might be learned than
generally proceeds from street corner
loating. We hope the police will do
their duty, and dispense the various
gangs which are esteemed by a great
many citizens, a commo nuisance that
is becoming almost unbearable In
other cities the police are able to break
up street lounging and there is no good
reason why they should not be adeq uatt
to the task 10 Wilmington.

THE changeable weather of the pre-
sent season has been very bad on the
flowers generally. as well as on corn
and vegetables. Flowers are very
easily chilled by sudden changes, and
are slow to recover from an attack
They can stand great amount OF
either heat or cold if either comes on
gradually, but they quickly droop un.
der sudden changes, For this reason
roses as general thing have no,
bloomed out as brightly nor kept in
bloom half as long as they usually
do, and the ever boomers are very shy
in opening their full transcenden
beauty with the therm ometer ranging
above the nineties one day and almos

Tho number of graduates from the
high school this year Is far In excess Of
the number for any other year within
our memory, . fact whish Is highly
commendable. Some few years ago
the number was seven or eight, rarely
exceeding ton, but last night the mum.
Der reached twenty-five, and with the
three colored children who graduated
the night before, the number WAS
twenty eight. This is . very good
ending Of the years work In Whining.
ton. The schools have been effectively
taught, and We have not heard of a
10 Wering of the standard required for
the gradua ting in order to increase the
number. We hope that for the future
the number Of graduates will not de-
crease. Though the number this year
is large, 1t is no larger than it should
be considering the great number of
scholars who attend the public schools.
When we think of this it would not
look unreasonable to expect hundred
graduations In year. But We have
to make great allowances in this mat
ter.
1t Is quito an easy matter to enter q
child In the public schools ut six years
of age, but who can tell what may
happen before 1t reaches eighteen or
moro years With all due diligence
1t could scarcely be expected to
graduate sooner, and there are number
less reasons why 1t may not graduate
at all. The ill health Of many chill
dren is q drawback, moving from
place to place beyond the reach of the
public schools of our city is another
drawback Q necessity for taking chill
dren from school and putting them to
trade or to labor to help to support the
family Is the most serious drawback OF
all.
Considering all these hindrances, it
Is with a conscious pride our educators
can point to the public schools of the
past year, and the graduates of last
night and the night before rs the result
Of the efficiency of our system of edu-
cation. The great crowd who attended
the opening exercises last night should
never be anything else than friends of
public schools. The splendid essays
read last night by the graduates would
have done honor to q graduate of Yale
or Harvard, and we have no doubt
those unread for want of time were as
good az those that we're read.
Ii these grad yates are wise they will
not look upon their education as
finished simply because they have been
enabled to graduate with honors after
having passed through all the various
grades Of study laid down. The fact
is, 1t is only the commencement of a
higher education to follow. The com.
mon school education has but laid the
groundwork, to build upon that
groundwork is to be the work of those
who have passed from the graduating
class in our public schools into still
higher schools or into the business OF
trade department of life. The educa-
cation thus early acquired is but the
stepping stone to the more practic cal
education that is to follow. The theory
Is acquired, but the practical part il
yet to be acquired, but there is nc
station in lite in which the education
acquired in our public schools will no
appear and act as an incentive to reacl
forward and Gull richer fruit from tn
tree of kno Wedge.

Linens. The best word
we ever have to say OF linen
is that linen here is really
linen. We have to say it
over and over because Gin
en-" elsewhere is apt to be
half-cotton.
Let's not do injustice to
even one of our craft. There
is a store in town-one
store among the hundreds
in which you never get cot
ton tor linen; one store be-
sides our own; one store
that is careful to serve it's
customers honestly in the
matter of linen.
Let's not do injustice to
the hundreds who sell cot
|ton.and-linen for linen. The
very fact that almost every
merchant does it, here and
everywhere else, is held to
make it mercantile-mark
the word-if not honest.
After all do we blame our
selves very much when we
are about as honest in trade
as the average dealer? We
are not calling our caftsmen
hard names. We are simp-
ly stating a fact that every
merchant knows to be a fact
that linen" is often cot
|ton-and-linen.
Why don't we conform
to the current usage?
A fair question. The an
swer is easy. We sell one
fortieth OF ell the pure linen
THAT comes to the United
States from Ireland, Scot
land, England, Germany,
Belgium, Austria, France
and Russia. Is the question
answeredl
The statement is an ex-
traordinary one-ana stound-
ling one. One retail store
not in the largest city, not in
the greatest centre of trade,
SELLS one-tortieth OF all the
pure linen that ffty-millions
. LOT people buy! 1t is true.
: if the U. S. Customs Re-
J. turns are true; and it has
, been true for three years!
d There's another fault in
!, the lower grades of linen
/ that needs to be thought Of
$ the presence ofwoody fibre
. tow. There's a difference
. in that respect. No lowgrade
r linen is clear oft. Butchers S.
linen at 40 cents and unde,
Ills mostly tow. Table-liner
!, at 40 cents and under is
o either tow or half-cotton, OF
n both. Glass.toweling at IL
r. cents and under is eithel
g e tow or halt cotton, or both
r. 1t isn't practicable to avoit
3, tow altogether. All coars'
Sc table-linen, toweling an,
+, butcher's-linen are tow,-no
flax. Few merchants ar,
expert in linens; few care +
a be exact in having then
be true they are eager to "bu

A BOYS CONFESSION TO LEO XIII.

A friend Of mine lately had a
private audience OF the holy father,
writes a Rome correspondent OF the
San Francisco Chronicle. lie took
his son with him-a most intelli-
gent, original little fellow of . years
Of age. Leo XIII. is very fond OF
children. He is a nervous, cold,
reserved man to grOwn-up persons,
but delightfully."- accessible and kind
to the little folk. Claude, my
friends son, was soon mounted up.
on the holy fathers knee, perfect.
ly at ease, with all that divine un-
consciousness of children; more
over, he is accustomed to clerlcals.
His best play.fellows out Of the
nursery are certain learned dis
tinguished ThOmist Dominican and
a scholarly Benedictine father. So
Claude played with thepOpe's scrOss,
and listened, half.cOmprehendingly,
to the conversation on the Difficult
ties and responsibilities Of parents,
and the pre.dispOsition to good or
evil of children. The pope looked
tenderly down on dear little Claude
and said, Il hope you are always a
good boy Claude flushed a hot
red up to his very blonde temples,
but answered, bold as little lion,
'Oh no | bit Marie yesterday
'Whatp cried the pope. Bit
whom ?
Marie, my sister,, said Claude.
'She called me a little pig and |
bit her hard on the arm.
That was too much for the pOpe's
selt.cOntrol he burst into a hearty
peal of laughter, then said; st was
not nice in your sister to call you
names, to be sure; but you ought
not to have bitten her, you known.
'Of course not exclaimed Clude,
with delightful agreement, 'for you
see | am neither a pig nor dog
Again his holiness went Oh into
another good laugh. The boys
naive courage and frankness were
delicious, and the pope had the true
heart to enjoy it.

to be vitiated by the fact that he
