A School Teachers Heroism


Miss Mollie Green is the heroine of a
story which comes from Perry county,
Tennessee. where she teaches in country
school. One day, correspondent relates
the children were busy with their lessons,
when shaggy dog, foaming at the mouth,
swapping and biting, dashed in at the
door and made toward one of the little
ones The brave woman sprang be-
tween them and the intruder, told them
il was mad dog. She then kicked at
it, her skirts protecting her, and, by the
aid of heavy ruler, kept it at bay until
all the children had fed. The infuriated
animal repeatedly sprang at her throat,
but she was too agile to be caught, and
resolutely held her ground. When all
the little ones were gone she desperately
fought off the dog until she reached the
door. which she pulled 10 after her, and
fell ftinting outside. Tie children had
in the meantime run TO the nearest
houses. an eighth of n mile distant, and
given the alarm. Two men came up
and after reviving the teacher, killed the
dog. The animal had been terrorizing
the neighborhood for two days. The
grateful parents of the children took up
a subscription and gave the young lady
n fine saddle horse.

Some Fighting Quakers.

Many anecdotes of the early Quakers
are preserved in Philadelphia to show
how even under Penn's rule the impulses
of human nature struggled against their
rigid laws Of duty and submission. Not
a few Of the young men of Quaker fami-
lies served in the Revolutionary Army
and in the navy Of 1872, and wore on the
fields their rbroad-brimmed hats and shad-
beliied coats
II is said that one of these Young
Fighting Quakers," as they were called,
met his father on the stree; on his return
home. The old man laid his hand re-
bukingly on his sons arm, saying:
THE wool in that coat was sheared
from my sheep and woven in thine
own mothers loom, yet there is blood on
t!v
And the blood is thy Blood boldly
replied the young man. If thou hads,
been 20 instead of 90, thou, too. wouldst
have fought under Washington"
Zachariahr s,ammered the old man,
1t may be so, Zachariah. Thou hadst
better go into thy dinner"
A well-known story is that OF Friend
who was in sailing vessel boarded by a
British press gang of 1872. He paced the
deck with folded arms during the fight,
until he saw one Of the assailants climb
ing on deck by means of cable.
Friend, dost thou want the rope - he
said, calmly, hurrying up, knife in hand.
Thou shalt have il, and he cut it. The
man dropped into the sea.

so1ne Ins ana outs of Building.


 Certain architects. in a place which we will not mention, were instructed to make plans and specifications for house to cost certain sum, and to contain accommodations which could not possibly be provided for that sum. As we all know, this method of giving incompatible directions is very pop~ ulsr among clients, who are thereby enabled whatever the architect may do for them, to resist paying this bill if they happen to be so inclined, on the ground that he disobeyed some of the instructions,s which he was of course obliged to do in carrying out the oth~ ers; and like the rest of us, the architects in question devoted themselves diligently to finding out what their patron really wanted. This was house costing considerably more than the proposed sum, as they told him. Bids were obtained the lowest of which was more than the client wished to spend, so he himself took the lowest bidder in hand, and with him modified the drawings and speci6- cations so as to bring the cost of the build ing within his means. The architects were informed of this agreement and requested to draw up contracts in accordance with it, which they did. When the outside of the house was done the contractor notified the owner to send some one to paint it, as the painting was not included in the specified tions or in his contract. The owner, as usu- al proceeded to the architects and demanded that as they had forgotten to mention the painting in the specifications, they should pay for it themselves, which they declined to do As it happened, their side of the case was complicated by the fact that they had inserted clause at the end of their specif- cations reciting that "all work necessary to the complete finish of the building should be done by the contractor without extra charge, whether specially described in the specified ton or not" The other builders who had estimated on the house told them that under this clause they had included the painting in their estimate, and the contractor told them that he should charge no more for painting the house at the stage where it had already arrived than if he had included it in his orig inal estimate, so, as far as their work was concerned, they could not see how the owner had suffered any damage from the omission. As to the point whether the contractor, un- der the saving clause in the specification, was bound to do the painting, they took le- gal advice, in the owners interest, and learned, what architects who depend upon blanket clauses should remember, that such a stipulation is with difficulty applied with special sorts of work not expressly mem

SOME VALUABLE TRsT1MONY.

The town and city governments of New London were consolidated fourteen years ago. Major Tibbits gives some interesting and reliable testimony concerning the work ing of this consolidation. He says that the results of it have been eminently satisfactory. The abolition of the dual form of government has promoted economy and efficiency in the administration of public affairs and after an experience of fourteen years the universal sentiment is that the present system is a marked improvement on the older order of things. A movement to resurrect the town government would to-day command the SUD- port of no one outside of the corporal's guard of chronic grumblers that aflicts every com munitg.
 Under the revised charter of New London all the principal town officers, except the clerk and registrar, se1ectmen and registrar of voters, are made officers of the oity, elect ed at the annual city meeting and charged with the performance of the duties and the exercise of the powers imposed upon or vested in such officers of towns. These off, cers and the treasurer of the city are also constituted officers of the town of New Lon don and authorized to discharge all the due ties required of such officers by the general statutes. The property of the town of New London is, by the same section, transferred to the city, and the city is made liable for the obligations of the town and charged with the performance of its duties and the exsr- else of it's rights. The only powers remaining to the se1ectmen of the town, as such, under the consolidated system, are those vested in them by the constitution with reference to the admission of electors. Under the city charter, however, they are ex-oficio mem bers of the court of common council and it has been the invariable practice to assign them to the committee on town affairs, in which capacity they have a general super vision of the commissioner of charities, who discharges the duties ordinarily devolving upon selectmen as to the poor.
 Major Tibbits declares that consolidation tends to economy of administration. He says that New London people hold that, for the purpose of making judieious appropriation of the public funds, the city meeting, as regulated and restrained by the charter, is a marked improvement on the town meeting, which was at times on the impulse of the moment, liable to vote away money reckless ly, and again just as liable to refuse appro- priations which were imperAtively demanded by the public interests.

 Senator Gibson of Louisiana says of ths situation in that State: We have 1s5 OeO registered white voters, 1000 registered oolored voters. Of the white voters five out of six can read and write. Of the colored voters only one in six can read and write. The State has the right to prescribe the qual- ifcations of it's voters. We are already Mov- ing on this line in Louisiana. We have been preparing the way. At the meeting of our legislature last May called the conservative leaders of the State together at my hotel and placed before them my plans for the adoption of 6 constitutional amendment making the ability to read and write necessary qualif- cation for voters. told the leaders to sound their people on this issue. Such change in our constitution would disfranchise at the outset 25,000 white men, but it would at the same time take the ballot from more than 100, 900 colored men and settle the ques- tion of race dominance at elections once for all. It would have the effect, too, of stimu- lating the %, 600 whites and 100000 blacks to greater diligence in acquiring the rudi- ments of an education.
