properly within doors the yard might
have its appointment of varied shrubber-
les, with every species named and bill
leted, so that miniature aboretum should
grow up around the school-room, and
become source of healthy pride to both
pupils and mistress.
Will some of those elderly gentlemen
who believe only in the old measure of
ugliness and the "Rule of Three" give
us their objections to the palliatives of
teaching we suggest?

OF SCHOOL ROOMS.

and dreary thing 1t is TO our young peo-
pie? Certainly our teachers are ladies OF
taste. Gould they not have a place like
the description below:
The room was new, the walls pleasant
ly toned, the low, skirting wainscot of
native woods, left of its natural color and
simply oiled !; but, best of all, before both
of the south windows which flanked the
position of the mistress were two wide
trays, of rustic finish, in which were
grouped a geranium or two, few start
ing jonquils and hyacinths, variety of
weaknesses, and ivys which clambered
up on either side the windows and skirt
ed them with tairy-like hanging off
green.
Could a prettier lesson or a worthier
one-Which should teach at once regard
for and love of Aowers-be taught by any
pictures inzthe school botanieS?
The furnace-heat of the day LETT
gentle temperature for the night, and all
that was needed to guard against frost
was a screening bit of muslin upon a
Saturday night, or little reFlenishment
of the furnace-ires. Even this might be
avoided by an adoption of the Wardian
cases. So, then, the thing is every way
feasible. And what JUNCTION might not an
adroit teacher give to the first lessons in
botany, with scores of eyes beaming
upon the little leaflets which turn so
eagerly to the sunshine, Or upon the bulb
lifting its green spears day after day, and
unfolding by degrees some wonderful
pile of blossoms?
What now if we were to add to this, in
country School-roomS, some assemblage,
under glazed case, of all the insects
which haunt the neighborhood- the beet
ties, the butterflies, the moths-all in
their different stage of transformation.
and all these to contribute decorative
features, while familiarizing the little
ones with their appearance?
Then the minerals of the neighborhood
might have their case, and the teacher
challenge the pupils to bring in new
types of their own finding, with some
little reward for the eager and quick
sighted ones who should furnish a posi-
lively new specimen.
Still another cabinet might have its
array Of native woods, distinguishable
by form of twig, Or color of bark, or shane
OF leaves all of which might then be
taught by the best and surest kind Of
object-lessons.

A CHAT ABOUT OATMEAL.

No one can live long in Scotch COM
munity without noticing the healthful
look of the children whose food consists
largely of oatmeal, compared with those
fed on fine grains, or even greats, which
are the same, onl y without the husks.
This chat, or husk, however, which is
left in the meal, contains some points that
act as a stimulant on the coats OF the
bowels to keep them active without med
1cine, and render this food of great ben
eft to the dYspeptic, There is no method
of cooking oatmeal equal to the making
of porridge, and when properly prepared
it is generally a favorite dish for break
fast. "What makes your oatmeal por-
ridge so good?" is frequent question in
our house from strangers, and they think
the meal must be of superior quality. But
to prepare it properly the water must be
boiling, necessary salt added, and the
oatmeal then stirred in slowly by sitting
it through the fingers. The process must
not be hurried iflumps would be avoided.
When it begins to boil up well, stop stir
ring and close the pot tightly. Set at the
back OF the stove while you cook the rest
of the breakfast. Lift the porridge with
out any more stirring, as it is this that
breaks the grain and makes it waxy.
The Scotch do not stir with a spoon, but
with smooth, fattened stick called a
"Spurtle, that any one can make &C
cordlng to their own idea. This gives
more evenneSS to the mixing, and if
cooked In this way the porridge will be
sweet, whole-grained and wholesome.-

Allen Convicted.

VIM. Allen, the Salvation Army convert,
who robbed Mrs Capt. Glover of $50 sew
eral months ago, was tried in the Hus-
tings Court Yesterday and convicted. He
was sentenced to the penitentiary for five
years.
The case occupied the attention of the
court for both a morning and evening
session. In the morning the jurors were
sworn, and the evidence for both sides
heard
Ats o'clock the Court adjourned until
$50.
When the evening session began the
argument was opened by Commonwealth
Attorney Witt for the prosecution, fol
lowed by Beverly 7. Crump and Colonel
r. G. Scott for the defence. Mr.. Witt
then closed the case in an argument for
the Commonwealth, the equal Of which
has seldom been heard in this city. Allen
was ably defended, but TO no purpose;
for the jury very short time after
retiring to their room brought in the
above verdict Motions to set the verdict
aside, and for new trial, were overruled.
TO these rulings counsel for defendant
excepted, and were allowed until. Tuesday
next TO file their bills.

false pretenses. Bradleyis newly-grad-
uated student-doctor, and has charge Of

malformed, being almost bent double
Sometime ago Bradley approached her,
and told her that for the sum of 81 he
could obtain for her some patented APP
pliance by which the child's legs could be
Strengthened. She gladly accepted his
offer, and paid him So on account, the
balance to be paid when the same was re-
ceived
A few days ago Bradley came to her
house with a box marked " c. p. Bradley,
Express Office, Richmond, Vac. O. D.,
So" She paid Bradley the remaining 50
due, and received the package in ex-
change. On opening the box it was

Death of Young Bishop.

Charles ]. Bishop, died in New York
Monday night, aged % years He was
the son of Charles B. Bishop, the we'll
known comedian, and Josephine Parker,
daughter of the late Joseph Parker. In
the days of the old Marshall Theatre,
Joseph Parker was, for several seasons,
the low comedian, and pretty Josephine
Parker was the favorite soubrette. Both
she and her estimable husband will have
the sympathy of many Richmond friends
in their great affection. Young Bishop
was a nephew of Mrs James b. Polk,
who will be as well remembered as little
Julia Parker in other days as she is as
Mrs. J. b. Polk in the later ones.

A VERY FAVORABLE REPORT.
The Number of Deaths During the Past
Month.

Month.
The Board of Health has furnished a
monthly statement of the prevalent con-
tagious zymotic diseases for the month of
October. This included deaths from
scarlatina, typhoid fever, and diphtheria.
OF scarlatina, eight white and two
colored cases were reported. There was
only one death; that was of white
patient.
Of typhoid fever, twelve white cases
and one colored case were reported.
There was only one death, this one also
of a white person.
Of diphtheria, sixteen white and two
colored cases reported There were three
deaths-all white. 1t will be seen that
these contagious diseases are not raging
very bad and that there is no occasion
for alarm. A remarkably small number
have proved fatal, and the whites seem to
be the worst sufferers.
The total number of deaths for Octo-
Der was-whites, So; colored, 90; total,
1871; still-born-white, 7; colored, 12
White males, 40; white females, 45; col
ored males, 40 colored females, 90.
Comparative motality October, 1888,
l57; October, 1884, 161; October, 1885,
1874.
Of the deaths last October, III were
natives of this country, 6 Of foreign lands,
and were unknown.
The death of children under one year
was 45, or one-fourth of the whole num-
Der. Over sixty years of age, 30.
The rainfall for the month was 1 40
inches The rate of mortality was of
whole population, 21.72; of white, 1921;
colored, 26.1S.
This statement is, however, based on
liberal estimate that Richmond has $4,000
whites and $4,000 blacks. Total, 100000
inhabitants.

The following cases, Justice d. G..
Richardson presiding, were disposed OF
Yesterday:
William Sullivan (colored), charged with
throwing rocks in the street. Whipped by
his mother.
Emil Zulauf, drunk, fined $3.50, and
sent to Jail in default.
C. II. Baker was fined 81 for contempt

The case of c. Cries, charged with
selling liquor by sample without a license
was n0Ae pr0Sequied and dismissed accord
ingly.
HON. GEORGE d. WISE ACQUITTED.
Mr.. Wise was before Police-Justice d.
C. Richardson yesterday morning on the
charge of being about to engage in
duel Major Poe, Chief of Police, testi-
fled that he did not wish Mr. Wise to be
arrested, but only swore out the warrants
against Messrs Wise and Lamb as pre-
stationary measure. His orders were
that Mr.. Wise was not to be arrested UNI
less Colonel Lamb came to this city, in
which event both were to be taken into
custody. The serving of the warrant
was mistake, and was done by an officer
who knew there was warrant for the
arrest of Mr.. Wise, and was not cOgni-
zant of the chief orders in relation
thereto.
Mr.. Wise stated that, as could be plainly
seen in his card, he had no intention Of
fighting duel whereupon the case was
promptly dismissed
A WARNING TO YOUNGSTERS.
Sam Vandervall (colored) was charged
with striking a little son of Mrs. Saunders
with whip.
The evidence showed that the boy was
hanging on the rear of the hack driven by
Vandevall, and while endeavoring to
dislodge his quOndam passenger, Vande-
vail cut him little about the face with
his whip. 1t was shown that he did not
do so Intentionally, as the driver could not
see the boy from where he was sitting,
but was only trying to prevent his CARR
age from being scratched. lie was &C
Quilted, as he was only endeavoring to
protect property entrusted to his care.
TOOK 1T VERY COOL.
John Mcdowell was up for being
drunk, and was fined $3.50. Mcdowell
is an eliminate of the Little Sisters Of the
Poor institution, but was turned out on
account of bad behavior. His Honor
thought that, of course, he had no money,
and only assessed moderate fine against
him, as above stated. His chagrin may
well be imagined when Mcdowell DELHI
erately reached his hand into his pocket,
pulled out a roll Of notes, and noncha-
lantly inquired, Is that all?'
SENT ON TO THE HUSTINGS COURT.
James Allen (colored) who attempted
to rob Mrs. O'DOnnells boarding house |
during the day Tuesday, was sent on to
the grand jury. Bail was refused.

uneyenhanded justice in either when a
Richmond jury makes up its mind to

it in hurry, and some of the smallest
