During the course of the year the following
changes have taken place in the staff OF
teachers:
From the goth Of May Mr.. J, G. Isaac re-
tired from his post as teacher in the town
schools and was appointed teacher at Two
Williams Country School. From the same
date the teacher at Two Williams School, Mr..
P. E. Paul, was appointed a teacher in Ere.
deriksted Free School. From the 31st OF
August, Miss A. Sill, acting teacher in Frederik-
sted Free School, retired from her post, which
was temporarily given over to Miss Summer,
sill, teacher in Christiansted Free School,
whose work during her absence was entrust-
ed to Miss Moorhead and Miss Totten, two OF
the assistants in the school. In the month
OF November q preparatory class was esta'
blished in Christiansted Free School, which
was entrusted to Miss Jacobsen. Lastly, Mr..
Pr@torius, teacher in Danish in Christian
sted Free School, resigned in May and was
replaced by Mr.. Clausen, upon whose retire.
ment in October the post was left vacant, the
instruction being carried on Professionally by
the regular teacher of the classes concerned,
Mr.. King.
With regard to the above mentioned
ehangesi IN the Frsderiksted Free School, it is
remarked that they were caused by the con.
tinuedS unsatisfactory condition OF the School,
the Board having considered that a thorough
improvement ought to be sought through q
partial renewal of the teaching staff, even if
such renewal could only be made by remov.
ing from the school two otherwise serviceable
and trustworthy teachers.
With regard to the instruction in Danish
it 10 remarked that the prospect Of having to
continue to make frequent changes together
with the difficulty of finding teachers who 10
q knowledge of the Danish language unite
some experience in teaching, has drawn the
attention Of the Board to the desirability of
not being always dependent on teachers by
the hour for the instruction in this subject.
and the Board has therefore prepared the
way for turning it over to the permanently
appointed teachers in the schools by procur-
ing the Governments ratification Of a rule.
according to which the granting Of seniority
a~llowancssto the teachers wouldb be influenced
By their capability of taking over this
-bfAuch of the instruction.

The Roman Catholic country school on,
the estate Orange Grove was closed from
the beginning of the year. In view OF Ahe
extraordinarily bad attendance from which the
school had suffered and which its manager
the Catholic Priest in Frederkstedl had
striven in vain to improve, the Board cannot
describe its closing other wise than as q bene-
fetal event, by which it was made possible
completely to carry out thu School Ordinances
also in the District in which the school was
situated.
In Mr.. Stewards school the annual examl-
nation was held, as usual, in the month OF
MAY. The progress of the pupils in this
school must on the whole be described az
pretty satisfactory, when expectations are hn&|
entertained in regard to it, which the school,
from it's whole character. cannot fulfil. 1t
would be unreasonable to regard the
school as q Danish "Realskole' and
to make demands on it accordingly.
On the other hand the Board has kept
steadily in view that the demands must
not be fixed too low either, and especial
ly that a sufficiently large amount OF work ID
required to be gone through every year. b
grant to the school, which depends partly on
the number of the pupils and partly on the
results of the annual examination, has amount
ed in 1885 to S960.70.
In Mr.. Moore's school in Frederiksted the
annual examination was held in the month OF :.
August. The knowledge of the pupils was
shewn to be still very deficient, and 1t was
plain that it would be a long time before the
school would be able to meet the demands
which must be made on a higher boys school.
since the preliminary knowledge of the papils.
on which to build was throughout, even"
among the bigger pupils, extremely meagre.
It is to be regretted that the school, tor
which there was evidently a want, has a.
ready now lat the close of 1889 had to step
on account of not being able to retain. q suns
Gent number of pupils to entitleiit to'snaes
grant from the public, and that Frederksted
thus again stands without a school giving y;
struction of a wider range than that glven'in
the Free School. During the year 1888. the.
school has received a grant of s4OO. =
With regard to the other schools named
on the foregoing list there is nothing special
to remark. ....s :

religious man. Almost all the out
spoken and hearty defence Of the
selection Of Wanamaker has come
from clergymen and religious news
papers. Almost all the foul abuce
which has been heaped on the
EUeung Post for being the first and
loudest to protest against it, has
come from lips trained to prayer and
praise. The workings explain this
to us with a smile by telling us that
Wanamaker and his kind, ''the
P~harisees,'' as Judge Gresham calls
them, dehaucb the clergy by their
contributions to churches and Sum
day-schools, and debauch the reli-
gious newspapers by their "ads."
II this be not true, it looks so like
the truth, there are so many facts
which give color and plausibility to
it, that it has obtained a Judgment in
the public mind which cannot be
shaken. And we should like to ask
those religious men, both clergy and
laity, who are troubled by the
decline Of church influence in this
city and elsewhere, and by the growth
Of agnosticism and Indifference,
and who meet every now and then to
debate its causes, whether they have
ever seriously considered the effect
on doubters, unbellevers, and SCOT
fers, of the spectacle, so frequent in
our days, Of corruptionists of every
description, using the church and
the Sunday-school and the religious
press us a sort Of fortified camps
from which to make raids on the
things which all civilized societies
hold dearest? If they have not.
they cannot begin to ponder it foe
soon. 1t is to-day by far the
greatest enemy with which the
Church has to contend in thi!
country. Nothing is easier for 1
large class among us than to Civ
lavishly in checks to religious
objects, and nothing more di>heart
ening for those who are trying t.
raise the standard Of political nor
atty than to find these check
fiourished in our faces as answers tt

Yours truly.
J. II. PRESTON

Governor Lowry has appointed a
formidable list of the best men in
the State (all candidates for Cover
nor) to interview the commission
appointed to select a site for a navy
yard in the South. The Mississippi
coast puts up a claim, at least the
Governor does for it.
Such matters should be pushed
when there is some foundation to
warrant some prospect of success.
But to ask the location of a navy
yard without an harbor, or security
against exposure from storms and
enemies, is rather ridiculous. The
Mississippi river, somewhere at or
above New Orleans should hava that
navy yard. 1t would be the best
location in the country in every
respect.

With his many friends, who are by
no means confined to this section Of
the State, and who will regret the
withdrawal OF his name, we also
regret it. AS an able and expo
rienced public man, who has with
faithfulness and real ability filed
every position to which he has been
called, there Is no room to doubt
that as Governor Of the State his
course would be equally wise, firm
and patriotic.
South Mississippi is rightfully
entitled to furnish the nominee for
Governor on the Democratic ticket
in the ensuing election. Not within

getting old, in fact not since the
days immediately succeeding her
advent into the Union as a State,
has this high Office been awarded to
South Mississippi. The voting

Railroad Connection by Juna LIST

From reliable parties it is learned
that the branch road Of the Mississ-
ippi Valley Road from Slaughter to
Bayou Sara will be in operation by
June 1st, thus opening up one Of the
richest sections in the State. No
doubt but that Bayou Sara will take
on q regular boom when the road
does get in operation .-B. R. Advo-
cate.
We hope so Bro. Sambola, and in
this connection we would suggest a
grand orally" and jollification Of
the citizens Of East Baton Rouge,
East and West Feliciana and Wilkin-
son county, Miss, at some point on
the road, to be selected by a.proper
committee. Let meetings be held
in each parish, and in the county OF
wilkinson, and delegates selected to
attend a general meeting empowered
TO appoint all committees and per-
feet arrangements for a grand old
fashioned barbecue and jollifcation,
on the fret day that the road is
opened for trade and travel.
WI commend this move to the
press, of the above named parishs
and county, if it meets their appro-
val-boom it.-IDdustrlal News.
All right Bro. Mumiord. Our
people are always in for q jollifca-
ton on general principles and will
be especially willing we believe to
celebrate their rail connection with
the outside world. Let us have
something besides "a grand rally
however. Such 3 meeting could do
something perhaps that would put
the ball to rolling by which an immi.
grafton movement might be started
to settle up the waste places on the
line of the road and in the adjacent
country.

upon this they are all agreed:
MADRID, March 20.--In The debate
to-day, Senior Morel, Minister Of the
Interior, in reply TO a question, said
that the government had no knowi-
edge of a scheme to sell Cuba to the
United States. He declared that
there was not enough money in the

ton Of Spanish territory, and that il
necessity should arise, Spauiards
