THE SCHOOLS.
Communications Referred TO the
city Council.

Communications Referred 10 the
city Council.
The following communication was re-
ceived by the Board OF Education at it's
last meeting and was referred by that
body to the City Council, which is ex-
pected to take some action in providing
funds:
ave, the residents and property own
ers of that portion OF the city known as
the West End, and in the neighborhood
of the school site recently purchased by
the Board of Education, fronting on Dia-
mond street, do most earnestly and ur-
gently petition your honorable body to
cause to be erected thereon, Immediately
or in time for the opening Of the schools
next fail, such a building as will supply
US with accommodations for the educa-
ton of our children which the rapidly
increasing population in that portion
of the city demands. During the
past year we have submitted with
what grace we could TO the incon-
venience OF long distances from schools
and the unsatisfactory half day sessions,
but we feel that the time has come when
we ought to expect some relief from the
'SNS=itNON ouVlittipiCc, do ~ NCI SItdtlN
affects US in our interests, both private
and public. Let the question Of the
legality of the bonds be settled in the
courts, or arrange for an increased taxa
ton, or devise some way, gentlemen, for
our needs in this direction. We must
have, and by rights we ought to have
schools"
This communication was signed by
long list OF property owners.
Another communication from g. citizen
was referred to the City Council. 1t
asked that some provision be made for
the teaching OF the scholars who have
been allowed but halliday sessions. 1t
suggests that these classes be continued
through vacation 50 as to give them a
chance to catch up.
The Directors OF the Board OF Trade
are taking some steps in the matter OF
increasing the facilities of the schools,
and it is probable that a special. meeting
OF that body will be called before long
to consider what is best to be doue.

Sermon by sgey. ". a. Ensghtcn at
Grace III. II. Church.


Grace III. II. Church.
Following is synopsis Of sermon
delivered by Rev. viii A. Knighten in
Grace NJ. +. Church, on First street, at
IL a. m. yesterday: The church was
tastefully decorated with flowers and
evergreens, and the ladies placed some
canary cages with the songsters fully
attuned for the occasion, in various
parts Of the church. 1t being Childrens'
Day the Sabbath school was well repre-
sented. The subject was Christian
Education" Text: II am come a light
into the world"-John IL, 43.
The enlightening agencies of the world
are traceable to the Bible. The worlds
light and darkness are used to denote
ignorance and superstition, as error and
falsehood vs. truth, knowledge and Wis
dom. Light is essential to physical life.
1t gives motion aud purity to air. 1t
lifts the waters from the seas, and settles
them back upon the flowers and the
grain. Our sun is a great center Of
power and blessing. Byron's dream
might come true, il he should be ''ex-
tingushed." There is mental system
and mental sun-mind that needs life aud
activity and purity. That must have a
center. Mind that is finite must have
light from the Infinite. The great need
OF mind is truth. To discover truth is to
approach nearer to God This becomes
knowledge. Man develops by the steps
be makes in the search after truth.
Christ is the direct and absolute truth
OF the ages. He was the truth. His
life explained his divinity. His law has
become the highest possibility of mind
Christ was the greatest of teachers.
He taught His disciples for three years
face to face. They learned the great les
sons that were to sway the humau miud
for all time. False systems have relied
on the sword Alohammedism conquered
its way. Chris. taught and preached His
way down the generations. He argued
ana reasoned on the greatest questions
Paul represented the light-shiaiug and
Felix the ignorance Of man trembling
One went en- and the other went 9owa
Christ is the spiritual light. He Gas
the embodied religion. He was the spn
dis radiant face at the open grave, and
His declaration OF resurrection power, re-
Vea!ed the reli i4;iods Or spiritual want Of

Gen. s1Itche1's "A1ule Gunboat."


BE concluded that it was necessary for
him to have a gunboat with which to
patrol the river. No regular boat could
pass the shoals to come far enough up the
Tennessee river for the purpose; besides,
If he asked the government for a gunboat
the war might end before he could get it.
He found an old mule ferryboat. This he
patched up, and mounting a gun forward
set her afloat under the name of the
"Gunboat Tennessee There is some
thing ludicrous in the military gravity
with which he gave his instructions to its
commander. When one considers the i'm
mense resources hat were placed at the
disposal of other generals and the make
shifts of Mitchell, working with nothing
except what he could improvise, there is
something more than ludicrous In this
order. 1t is pathetic:
captain: You are placed in command
of the Gunboat Tennessee, now lying at
Whitesburg. You will find one piece of
artillery on board the boat. You will
from your own company such as you may
deem necessary. You are also authorized
to take on board volunteers from the de
tachmCnt of the Fifteenth Kentucky. low
at Whitesburg. Go prepared for any
emergency to work your boat should the
horses and mules be killed.
The GunbOat Tennessee did good ser
vice. Steam soon replaced the mules, and
the peculiar looking craft continued to
patrol the river till Gen. Mitchell left the

AS n people the Chinese males arc better
educated than any other race Of people in
the world. Education to Il certain extent
is compulsory for all Chinese males,
although the mass cannot DO much more
than read and write; still to that extent
they are all educated. 1t has been the
policy Of the Chinese government for
hundreds Of years to select a certain num-
Der of boys from Zach district and educate
them for historians and writer's. Their
work is never completed, for as long as
they live and are able to do anything they
continue to study and write. Every five
years they pass an examination, and, nc
cording to their proficiency, they are pro-
NOTED to Office or rank. As n rule no
Chinese can hope to attain prominence in
any civil or military Office pertaining to
the government unless he has succeeded
rs n scholar, for the Chinese believe no
man can succeed rs n scholar unless he
has ability, and if he possesses ability,
why then, rs n matter Of course, he is n
