Allemainia,s Reception and Banquet.

Probably the toniest event among the
societies and lodges of this County this
season was the reception and banquet ten
dered last Monday night by Allemaine
Lodge, No. 1872. F. Il A. NJ, to its friends.
Pohlman's, where the reception was held,
looked handsomer, with its adornment of
flowers and tropical plants, and banners
and bunting, than ever before. The name
of the Lodge in full, made of beautiful
paper roses, of different colors and two
floral sswelcomes" made the ball room
doubly pretty. It was an invitation affair,

tle Heights were present. Each lady as

senator Bob Hart at the Tabernacle.

The Jersey City Reform Club begs to an
nounce that Senator Bob Hart will pos
itively appear at their meeting in the lab
ernacle this afternoon. This gentleman
was formerly with the well-known Birch
and Backus minstrel troupe, and earned
the title of sfSenator" by his remarkable
abilities as ssstump speaker" He has,
however, left the profession in which he
was without peer and now amuses the
public with his experience with intemper-
ance without the formidable linen buster
and burnt cork). The people of Jersey
City should avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity and give the Senator hearty well
come.

School Superintendent Edison, of this
city, shows, in the carefully printed in
structions be La about to distribute among
the teachers. a comprehensive idea Of the
purposes and methods of education. In a
future issue of the TATTLER we shall take
occasion to refer to some of the more
notable features of his course of study. In
general. it may be said that he sees that
the advantage of school learning is not so
much the acquaintance with few facts
of history or science that one acquires at
school as the unfolding Of mental powers
that each new study assists, and the men
tai activity 1t arouses. He has as little
patience with the system of memorizing
which, when we were at school, was one

quently to forget the facts the committed
passages convey-if, indeed, the pupil has
any intelligent idea of what the words
mean when he repeats them; and Mr..
Edison warmly urges teachers to encourage
pupils to repeat what they learn, not in
the text Of the books, but in their own
language. That means that the pupil
must have an intelligent comprehension OF
what his books teach him; for If he does
mot know what the text means. he cannot
possibly put it in language.

James N. DAVIS. James is the personif-

words. when James has nothing else to do
in a political way, he is willing to fill in as

the fact that men should be so lost to

will do these things, but they win, and all
that modest and unseifsh people can do is
to deplore the fact--as, James does. His
conduct is highly becoming, under the
circumstances, and it affords us unmiti-
