some Hints 10 Parents on the Educn-

school to stimulate him since he was six

there has been great loss-loss OF time.
of money, OF mental development, and
of moral strength. The case is not sin

it. This boy ought to have en-
tered college at sixteen, and to be
within one year of graduation at
twenty instead of being four years
from il with a diminished chance OF ever
reaching the goal at all The failure TO
reeoQnize this fact earlier on the part OF
his father may cost this young man a
liberal education, for there are many
more casualties attending o youth who

if he had entered at sixteen or seven

AZ 80 Trees.

To The Editor Of the Dispatch:
| observed in your paper few days
ago that a petition from a Broad-street
merchant to be allowed to fell the trees
in front of his store had been referred
to Colonel Cutshaw, and in this connec-
ton ask space for a short communlca-
ton.
Many persons, l am sure unre-
fectingly, have in my knowledge
objected to the presence of trees
in our business streets. 1t is hard,
in Richmond particularly, to understand
why anybody should desire to do away
with the feature which gives distinction
TO orr city, and viewed in another light,
particularly III the glare Of this torrid
August sun, how anybody could vote to
dispense with tue welcome shade that
We occasionally walk under IN some OF
our business streets. This prejudice
against trees must be Of English origin,
as it does not seem TO prevail on the con-
tn,nt amongst peoples who so far as
thrift. attention to business, and econO-
nv are concerned are the superiors Of
the Yankee nation. In the Dutch cities
the nasts of the shipping are confused
with the bOughs of the trees the same
is truo Of some of the French ports. The
boulevsrds Of Paris, which so many as
sociaie in their minds with pleasure and
irivolity only, are really the scenes Of the
buges. aud acutest traliicking. These
not only have line of trees on each side
walk, bat one in the middle of the
streets. Moreover, the entrances
aud conTt-yards of some Of the
largest Partisan bankers are beautiful in
a way that the average American in a
similar vocation would think trivial and
unbus;ncss-like, whilst that same party
would find 1t hard to cope in financial
skill with the "head Of the house, so
tricked out.
1t is to be hoped that Colonel Cutshaw
will, as he has heretofore done, exercise
a wise discretion in establishing prece-
dent by allowing the telling Of trees
when there is no valid plea to be urged.
The writer has many times felt grateful
10 the very trees in question after a long
stretch on sbadeless Broad street in the
s0lstice.

A VISIT TO HER MOTHER.

Mrs Bland is still living near Guise-
ley, and | WINS ANXIOUS 10 see her, though
knew that her mind was well.nigh
gone, and nothing was 10 be gained 10y
the visit. Those who had known her IN
other years told mo that she was an
utterly undressing person at best, but
| wanted to see her, nevertheless. Her
home is in n suburb called Yeadon. and
the house is little brick cottage, one Of
four standing on what was called Swain
Hill. | Am sure / DO not know why II
was called any kind of hill, but went
on TO the last of the four houses, IN
which Mrs. Bland has been living for the
past few years. She is hardly respon-
sihe for the impression she creates now,
and | must not say mnch of that visit.
She is a wreck. drifting until the tide
comes in that will wash her out 10 the
eternity beyond our human horizon.
Mrs Blind is n tall. spare woman,
perhaps pretty once, when her eyes were
bright and her complexion good, but the
face one sres how is gray, and grim, and
cold. She had faded-out look aud an
air that made me think Of theatrical tat
ters in every sense Of the word. Her
voice was harsh and vulgar, and her
manner so superficial that 1t would re-
duire much more accurate knowledge
than Cation has given III in his study
Of &" Heredity" to understand the rea.
sons for relationship between this wo-
mau and her daughter. Adelaide Neil
sons soft eyes looked down upon me
from photographs hanging on the wall,
and the poise Of her exquisite head was
outlined before me as | noted the i'll
shaped form of her mother. A remark
that was once uttered by Miss Nelson
WAS recalled AZ | watched with kindly
feelings this greatly -to-be-pitied woman.
My life was once horrible. she said to
an acquaintance, who had been talking
with her OF her trlumphs understood
it better, and also the woman who made
it, after seeing her mother.

has been thought by many that the girl

her head, saying "Adelaide was an

The woman who lives with her ventured
the remark that she seemed TO thInk a
great deal OF her daughters death, but
she rarely spoke OF her other children,
