SCHOOL EXAMINERS.

The following are the most important
provisions relating to Boards of School
Examiners, which was passed by the
General Assembly of Ohio lately:
The terms of all the present members
of the county, city, and village boards
are continued until the end of the school
year, August 81. The terms of one-third
of the members in each board are to ex-
pire each year, in the order of the times
for which they have been appointed. If
two or more examiners are appointed for
the same time, the appointing power shall
determine their order. A similar rule is
applied to the State Board of Examiners.
The State Board may issue only life
certificates. These may be of different
grades, according to the branches taught.
All certificates issued by local boards,
whether county, city, or village, must run
from the day of examination. The in
hibition of antedating, which was drop
ped out OF the statute six years ago, is
now re6nacted. All local boards have
the same powers as to the subjects of ex-
animation. Physiology and hygiene shall
be added after January l, 1889. Per-
sons desiring to teach the primary de-
partment in any graded school NAV be
examined with special reference to their
qualifications to teach such primary de-
partment only.
Every local board may issue certif-
Gates for five years to applicants of three
years experience, eighteen months of
which shall have been in one place.
Such certificates for five years shall be
renewable without examination at the
of the board. The four years
and ten years terms are no longer used.
The ten years term was for awhile auth
orized and then partially omitted from
the statute. 1t is now replaced by the
renewable five years certificate, intended
for the professional teacher.
In the trial of charges against teach
erS every local board is empowered to
send for witnesses and examine them
upon oath.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

Prudent self-control is wisdom'S root
Keep your own secrets if you have any
Don't attempt to vie with rich neigh
bors.
To rule ones anger is well; to prevent
it is better.
Don't sacrifice comfort or health to
appearances.
An angry man opens his mouth and
shuts his eyes.
Discretion is conduct and speech is
more than eloquence.
If you utter affronting speeches, you
will have to hear them.
When a man is wrong and won't ad-
NIT it, he always gets angry.
1t is best to be with those in time that
we hope to be with in eternity.
To see what is right and not do it is
want of courage or of principle.
Open suspecting of others comes of
secretly eondemning ourselves.
All controversies that can never end
had better perhaps never begin.
Curses are like professions: the return
to the place from whence they come.
He who does not engage in the quar-
rels of others will have few of his own.
The slander of some people is as great
Recommendation as the praise of others.
1t requires very little ability to find
fault That is why there are so many
critics.
What we believe is right is more often
so because it grinds our axe than 9th
erwise.
Kindness is slowed away in the heart,
like rose leaves in a drawer, to sweeten
every object around.
Set a watch over thy mouth, and keep
the door of thy lips, for a tale-bearer is
worse than thief.
Heavens gates are not so highly arch
ed as princes palaces; they that enter
there must go upon their knees.
Sincerity is the indispensable ground
of cOnscientiouSneSs, and, by conse-
quence, of all heartfelt religion.
Inviolable fidelity, good humor, and
complacency of temper outlive all the
charms of fine face, and makes the de
Gays of it invisible.
The hardest thing for man to do is
to own that he has made a mistake in
his judgment. 1t is an impeachment of
his weak side-his mind.
No preacher is listened to but Time,
which gives us the same train and turn
of thought that elder people have tried
in vain to put into our heads before.
Never let a man imagine that he can
pursue good end by evil means with
out SHINING against his own soul! Any
other issue is doubtful; the evil effect
on himself is certain.

CARL SCHURZ.

Ohio State Journal
The honOrs bestowed on Carl Sehurz
in Berlin recall the time when the we'll
known editor was a fugitive from the
soldiers and police of the same govern
ment whose representatives entertained
him. This is the third or fourth visit of
Mr.. SchurZ to his native land, which he
left in 1850, after his successful rescue
of Professor Gottfried Kinkel from the
prison of Spandau. Sehurz was a pupil
of the professor and follower of his
liberal teachings. When the revolution
broke out he joined the revolutionary
army and took part in the defense of
RaStadt, and managed to make his eS-
cape to Switzerland when the fortress
fell. The following year, 1850, he re-
turned to Germany to aid in the escape
of Kinkel. Disguised as blacksmith,
he worked near the prison and succeed
ed in perfecting the bolt plan which re-
suited in Kinkel's escape. A warder
who was in the plot released Kinkel from
his cell, and he effected his departure
from the prison by means of rope lad
der. Sehurz was waiting for him with
carriage, and in this he made good his
escape, while the prison warders were
being entertained by an innkeeper who
Sympathized with Kinkel and his views.
Mr. Schurz did not dare to return to
Germany until after 1861, when the late
Kaiser assembled the PrusSian throne and
declared an amnesty for all political Of
fenses. Mr.. Schurz's present trip to
Europe is partly for pleasure and partly
in connection with a publication, de-
signed to extend American manufaet-
ures abroad, in which he is largely in
tereSted.

ST. LOUIS, April 29.-Telegrams from
/ the Northern cities of Texas report very
/ heavy rain storms, which have Swelled the
rivers beyond their banks inundated the
bottoms, and almost SWamped towns
causing great deal of damage to proper
| ty, and an immense amount of good to
I crops. The WaShita River, in the Chick
aSaw Nation, has flooded the low lands,
washed away Daugherty Station and one
mile of railroad track, including culvertS
and bridges. The Red River is higher
than ever known before. The East and
West portions of Gainesville, traverSed by
Pecan and Ellen Creeks, are inundated.
and several dwellings washed away. No
less of life has been reported. but there is
much discomfort, and many families are
hOuseless, having been compelled to move
out. The West Fork, Trinity, BrazOs and
other streams within ridius of two hun
dred miles of Fort Worth are rising rap
idly under the influence of steady pour
of thirty-SiX hours. Railroad trains are
all delayed. Some roads have tempOrar-
lily abandoned traffic to the large Cities
In Choctaw Bayou, few miles from Sher-
man, people were compelled to take to the
trees Friday. and were not rescued until
yesterday morning.
The Texas Pacific Railroad has suffered
great damage from washouts; and South
Bonham has been overtlowed to the depth
of four feet in many places. Near Den
ton three bridges are washed away. An
other bridge is reported down near Dallas.
Forty families near Atoka have been
compelled to abandon their homes, and
reports from MuSkOgee, |. T., indicate
much misfortune throughout the Terrific
ry, especially along BOggy and Cauly.

Frenchtown is under water, and people
have been compelled to move out.
There is anxiety on all sides, and fears
are entertained that there will be q repe-
titiOn of the flood of 1884.
At Wausau several lumber yards are
under water. Men are working day and

A PARADOX.
Cleveland Leader.

Cleveland Leader.
The politicians of the third party of
Ohio are becoming alarmed because of
rapid spread of temperance sentiment
They are wise enough to perceive that
the Republican party is granting to the
citizens of the State such liquor Iegisla-
ton as the exigencies of the case demand,
and that it is only a question of time
when the third party will no longer have
an excuse for existence. In consequence
of this fact the third party organs have
turned their heavy mud batteries, which
we suspect were borrowed for the occa-
sion from the Democrats, upon the Dow
law, the Owens Sunday law, and other
laws that the Republicans have passed
for the benefit of Ohio. What they ex-
pect to accomplish by their foolish and
nonsensical bOmbardment we are assur-
edly at loss to understand. In all Sec
tionS the present temperance legislation
is giving the best of satisfaction. There
has never been law in Ohio that an
Swered the purpose so well as the pres
ent, and it is doubtful if, with our mix
ed population, any better could be de-
vised.
That it finds disfavor with the third
party shows the strange inconsistency of
that organization, and that it should be
denounced by its bigoted organs is direct
ly in line with the previous course of this
ally of Democracy. The more we see of
the conduct of the Prohibition party, and
its perpetual denunciation of all temper
ance legislation that emanates from an
opposition organization, the more we be-
come convinced that it is not fight for
principle the third party is waging, but
to aid the Democracy. As such it should
be treated like any other political party,
and not snivel and whimper when its
toes are tread upon.

in the South. OF the seventeen cases
five involved "moonshiners" in Ken

two concerned violations of the OleO-

does not appear to be devoutly anxious
to enforce the laws pertaining thereto
without fear or favor.
