To the MINING JOURNAL.
Permit me to say a few words
through the columns of your paper on
the public schools of this county. 1t
is about time the people of this county
be given hearing in school affairs
and high time that the judges who APP
point the school board should give The
matter serious consideration and do
something to give back the schools into
the hands of their friends where they
belong.
Never before in the history of the
schools of this county has there been
such II weak administration.
The people are sick and sore waiting
tor Il cha. &c. but, rs you say, it Is
changing backward Why it is tins
way is very plain when we consider
what little interest the managers ct
school affairs have in the advancement
of schools.
There can be no ohieciion to "A re-
liable person recommending ano>hrr
for position, but "infuencc" should
not be the first qualification to max,
one Il teacher. We think the teacher
should he. selected for ability and nut
TO satisfy the preference of his or hen

Everyone knows how perfectly
worthless lemons are when the Juice
has been squeezed out.
That is precisely the condition of
some of our recent State Normal grad
yates who hold prominent positions in
our public schools to-day. The pupils
squeeze them dry in n fortnight, and
then the sickly lemonade from that
same old lemon-peel grows thinner and
thinner as the weary months drag by.
Their inventory may be summed up
as follows:
a Jew facts in history, principally
dates they read the "Charg- OF the
Light Brigade" and "The Parting OF
Marmion and Douglas" in the most
approved Normal School style; they
know a few choice bits OF literature,
among which is-''The mills of God
grind slowly, but they grind exceed

sound was barrel of flour, which
made the family spring to their feet.
When all the good things were piled
in. and the company seated an address
of welcome was delivered by J. w.

same spirit was sung by the committee

pastor in a few we'll chosen sentences
was listened to with marked attention.
A few fireside stories were told which
brought forth bursts of laughter and
rounds of applause, And thus ended
one of the most pleasant evenings ever
enjoyed by the pastor and his people.

Guiding a regiment of cavalry, was drawn
up in front of the Jail. I heard Col. Lee
directing the pursuit. lie was in tower

a very angry tone. Said he: Don't take

All night long the guard talked over
their adventures. There was hammock
belonging to one of the prisoners in the
front room, and this he kindly permitted
me to occupy. 1t was suspended right be-
fore the window, and could hear and see
much that was going on. Tho guards had
their reserve around camp fire close by,
and could hear their discussion of their
parts in the ARRAY. Generally they
lauded their own bravery to the skies,
telling how they had served the prisoners
who had broken out upon them. Occa-
sionally one who had been present then
would suggest that it did not show great
their guns from them, but such limited
ISLANDERS were always received with the
contempt they deserved, and the work of
self praise went on. One wondered ut the
speed Of the Yankees who had been kept
in prison so long. Another, of a philo-
sophical turn of mind, accounted for it by
saying that they had received so much
practice in running away in all the battles
they had fought that 10 was no wonder
they were fleet of footl This sally re-
ceived prodigious applausel
This was doleful night. AS heard
one after another of the guards tell how
he had shot one Of the prisoners, how an-
other had been wounded and hau no doubt
crawled off somewhere to die, and speak
of the great preparation for the search, IL
did seem very doubtful whether any
would survive.
