Our school closed January -, after
profitable term, under the instruction Of
Mr.. Thomas A. Crabtree. Mr.. Crabtree IS
an earnest and thorough teacher, and has
made many friends here. The school gave
an exhibition in the evening, and made lots
of fun for the little folks.
On Sabbath evening. the 18th inst, Mr..
Crabtree gave temperance lecture IN the
school house, which was listened to with the
deepest interest. At the close the pledge
was presented and forty four signed it, But
few are left and we sincerely hope they
will see the barrenness of their situation and
join our temperance army. Y.

HoME.-Here is a man who has been
down town all day, in the full tide Of care,
that from morning to night, floods the mar
kets. offices, and streets of our cities
Tired, nervous, irritable, possibly little dis
heartened, he starts for his home. If it is
winter when he enters, there is bit Of
bright fire, that makes bad temper seem
like sin in the contrast; noise of chill
dren, that is not dissonant and an evident
care for his comfort, telling, palmer than
any words, how constantly he has been in
the mind of his house-mother, while breast
ing the stress and strife of the day; while a
low, sweet voice, that excellent thing in
woman, greets HIM with words that ripple
over the fevered spirit like cool water. And
the man who can nurse a bad temper after
that. deserved to smart for it. There is no
place on earth into which a man can 60 with
such perfect assurance that he will feel the
shadow of healing, as into such home as
that. 1t is the very gate Of heaven.-Robert
Collyer.

The following is dramatic criticism in
an Arizona paper: A company of buffers
gave show at Barney Hills. They played
a dlzzy snap called Hamlet. We never
heard of the drama before, and We never
want to see it again 1t is the snidest thing
in the way of show that we ever fell up
against. There amt no horses, singing fight
ing or dancing in the whole blamed shebang.
There was a lively dog fight, in the middle
of the play, that was great success. The
actors were not killed, but the duck that
played Hamlet was tarred and feathered.

Suspended Signal service Accounts.

OVER MILLION DOLLARS DIsALLoWED
Second Controller May nard has completed the
examination OF the suspended accounts of the
signal service. and has disallowed items to the
amount OF 81, ,OS1 1859. These occur in the ac-
counts Of Lieut.. Robert Craig. who succeeded
Capt Howgate; Capt. Samuel M. Mills and
Capt. F. b. Jones, disbursing officers of the
signal service. The alleged improper expendi.
lures extend back to 1880. The most Import
ant items occur in the accounts of Lieut. craig
and Capt. Mills, neither OF whom were under
bonds. Capt. JONES' as assistant Quartermaster
general, is q bonded officer. The troubIe Judee
Maynard says, grows out of the purchase OF sup
plies, &c, In violation OF the army regulations
ind the improper rendering of telegraph ac-
counts. These things, he says, have been going
on since 1880. Capt. Jones, he SAYS has
In measure, corrected them since he
assumed charge, and the difficulty with his ac-
counts is not so serious. The items viii not
amount TO over $1OO, 900, aud they grow prin-
cipatiy out OF bis failing 10 file duplicates of
dispatches with his accouuts This he NAV vet
do aud Clear up most Of the disaiiowance. Al q

accounts oil the other two Officers are chiefiv tor
the purchase OF supplies.
Judge Maynard says they violated the law In
not purchasing BY competition. Supplies were
purchased m0stly nom the same parties. and
the prices paid were two or three times a. much
In some cases as the prices paid now by Captain
Jones Tor the same supplies. He did not Know
what would be done In the matter. Lieutenant

Lord KOsebery Confident That II Can he
ErOumht AbOnt.

Special Cable Dispatch TO THE EVENING SrAR.
LONDON, Oct. 20.-Such political rtterances
as there are in this dnil season are all concerned
with the basis of a liberal reunion. Speaking
at New Castle yesterday, Lord RoSebery, who
represents Gladstones mind perhaps more
closely than anybody else, said: II do not
think that on the par, OF the real liberal party
in the country. those who have stuck close 10
their colors, there is any wish To be otherwise
than conciliatory TO our unlonist friends.
There are two things we cannot desert, but
snort of these two things there are many lines
on which we might meet again. We cannot
desert the particular lines OF our Irish policy
and cannot desert out leader Some of them
do not like our Irish policy. some Of
them do not like our leader. THESE
are our two vital points. i do not believe the
liberals can last longer than this parliament.
do not think it can last as long Rosebery's
view of
THE METHOD OF REUNION
was expressed in the following passage: "If
they have separated from US from high motives
OF conscience, how are we to be recohciled with
out a sacrifice OF principle? Suppose you were
to lay down the principle, which is the main
principle of our party, that the Irish be allowed
To settle their affairs in their own way far as
Is not inconsistent with the imperial principle.
L do not think you would find many liberal
nnioniSts VINO would differ from the PROPOSE
tion. If IL be only question OF degree surely
by "A little give and take, by little good VIII on
both sides, we may eventually arrive, at no
very distant time. at some arrangement with
the unionlst liberals.
In IA long letter To the Times on the home rule
question LORD Minck. who is land commits
sIoner for Ireland, and was once governor gem
eral of Canada. suggests as a basis OF reunion
an Irish parliament with strictly delegated
powers.
hclans that Lord Roscbcry's utterances on for
eign policies are so vague and meagre.
