After all, there is a pleasure
In the pedagogic sphere.
First, we realize the privilege,
! Socially, in meeting here.
| Then To listen to discussions,
From the deeper fountain, stirr'd
Like the bee ace gather honey
| From the eloquence of word;
And store it up for future use,
| Should occasion call us out.
| But, our muse seems retrospective
| SO, will vary this our theme
| Wander back to early school days,
| And enjoy pleasant dream.
Then, we used Old Comly's Speller
Which Taught lessons from the bee,
And the gentle lamb s and Jennie
| Also of the big oak tree.
And how paper was invented
| Aud how sugar is refined,
This We deem'd wealth of knowledge
And we stored it up i'll mind.
But in time-oh vast prom notion
One came in, from Yankee land;
And, with dignity Of purpose
Took the matter quite in hand.
Then, there was a renovation
In the system of that school,
When our worthy diguitarian
Issued for his modern rule.
When tue Van he call'd to order,
Marched we, single file, complete,
In posture erect, and proper
With a chalk mark at our feet.
This meant halt, for exercises
On the black hoard-fearful strife
When we came to face the music,
Found our Knowledge scarcely rife
Pike was left, and modern Davies
Took the mathematic stand.
Still we clamber'd to the summit
With our faithful eastern guide,
And made the complex series
With renew'd am bilious pride.
And to-day there's laurel wreathing
Above thas worthy sleeper's head,
j ohm O. Skeele, we'll ne'er forget him
Though he's nun ber'd with the dead.
Where are now the dear old school-mates
Fate has bid us dwell apart;
Still our feelings are congenial,
And they center near the heart,
Some no chose the teachers portion,
Have by death been called away.
Some, the marriage bells have told them
OF the fate that time will show,
And l, to-day alone remain
To represent the long ago.
| must cease this rhyme of feeling;
1t has carried me astray,
If your patience can endure it,
I'll close in brief soiIoquy:
Here l am, still pedagoguing
As in years of long ago!
Do I represent the worthy calling
This, l would be glad to know,
Conscience, dost thou speak upbraiding
OF my conflict in the field,-
Have | not been firm and loyal
To the cause | could not yield;
Have l, with discrimination,
Fathon'd depths of youthful mind
Have | used the proper measures
Christian virtues to enforcr,-
Watchful of their truth and honor,
Thus to share their future course!
Six and thirty years of teaching
And two thousand pupils taught,
Memory fingers Ger the picture,
Full of anxious care and thought.
Speak now, conscience, speak it truly
DO | find in thee a friend
Wholly unalloyed by nature,
Thou art mighty to defend.

All things, untamed and Tree
As winds unchecked that blow
From fields of balm TO fields OF snow.
Ofbirds nest-building in the budding woods,
Of fishes leaping in the flashing floods;
All lie. untrameled like thine own,
Inspired thy discourse, breathed in gladstone
tone.
Upon my care duled ear
Thy joyous accents fell
AS wild birds note might chance to hear
A captive in his cell.
Now, the first snowfall; joy inspiring sight,
Which filled thee ever with delight,
Shall fetter like a winding Sheet
Those ever bounding restless feet:
And hands close clasped in endless rest,
Above the lilies on thy breast.
Thou art not there, meath the cold wintry sod,
The bright spirit roams the fields of God
Beholding there the crystal streams,
The fadeless bloom OF flowers and trees,
Oh, come to my sad dreams
And tell me still OF these. A. G. q.

TWO BULLETS IN HIS HEAD.
"A Queer Shooting Case in Buffalo
Conflicting Statements About ii.

BUFFALO, n. Y, May S.-A queer shooting
case occurred at Main and Balcom streets last
night About 1890 o'clock, a man who gave
his name as Patrick A Nealon. and said he
came here from Binghamton last Wednesday,
was found on the sidewalk with two bullets in
bis head. He was removed to the general hos
pital where one OF the bullets was removed
from the top of his head, it having passed
through his temple. The other bullet which
had passed in at the ear could not be found.
Nealon told the officers that he had been shot
by Charles Sergeant, a saloon keeper, in whose
place he had room. He said Sergeant accom-
panied him up stairs and when he began un-
dressing Sergeant pulled revolver and fred
three shots at him and then grabbed him and
pulled him down stairs and out on the side
walk Nealon claimed they had no quarrel
Sergeant, on the other hand, claims that he left
Neslon IN his room and on his return down
stairs heard a fall He returned to the room
and found NealOn swapping a revolver. Ser
geant grappled with him and carried him to

THE INAUGURATION SURPLUS.
Suggesting that Half Of it (S13, OOO)
Go to the Ftremen's Relief Fund.

In considering the subject Of proper dispo-
sition OF the surplus Of S26, 900 left on hand
with the inaugural committee, after meeting
all its obligations, Commissioner wheatley sue-
gested that the committee might, if requested
assent to the use OF portion Of that fund as an
addition to the fremens relief fund. and after
consultation with Major Raymond addressed
the following letter to Mr.. A. T. Britton:
"Reiative to the a26, 900 surplus of receipts
OF the inaugural committee over its expendi-
lures, which your committee 90 generously
voted to purposes Of public benevolence, and
placed in the custody Of the Commissioners in
trust Tor that object, the Commissioners take
the liberty to suggest for the consideration Of
the gentlemen who comprise that commettee
mat they be authorized to use q portion of said
surplus, not exceeding one-hah Tor tie Fire
mems Relief fund. The District is now well
supplied with charitable institutions, and Con-
gress annually makes an appropriation Of S15,-
ooO Tor the general relief Of the poor, which is
aPPhed IN furnishing medicines and medi-
CA tsl attendance to the outdoor poor
ment, and in furnishing general relief
through the agency Of the police department.
ihe sum thus provided, supplemented by the
work OF the Associated charities and the other
kindred agencies, has generally proved so
nearly sufficient that large portion Of the
earnings of the fund your committee has cre-
ated would be likely to remain idle, If the use
OF thpse earnings should be restricted to the
relief OF the poor alone. As an addition to the
would not only directly minister to the relief
OF those disabled in the hazardous duty Of
fireman, but indirectly increase the efficiency
OF an important branch of the public SERVICE"

THESE INDIANS ARE CITIZENS.
And they Want the Offices Because they
Have the Votes.

A Sioux City, Iowa, special to the New York
World says: The last legislature Of Nebraska
created the new county Of Thurston from the
Omaha and Winnebago Indian agencies, few
miles down the river on the opposite side from
this city. The county is inhabited almost en-
tireiy by Indians. The republicans held the
first convention yesterday to nominate county
officers, and when the roll was called it was
found that twenty Of the thirty-one delegates
were Indians, six or eight Of whom could not
speak English.
An interpreter was appointed and all went
well until an attempt was made to ballot for
sheriff, for which Office the Indians had a can
didate. young buck named Oscar Chase, who
has recently returned from school, took the
floor and made an address in the Indian dialect
that greatly aroused the Indians, and for over
an hour they howled and gesticulated, deciar-
ing in broken English that the white men were
trying to beat them out Of their possessions.
For Q time there was imminent danger that vio-
lencs would be done to the white delegates, but
quiet was finally restored and nominations
made after the demands Of the Indians had
been acceded to. Many Of the Indians, how
ever, are dissatisfied and may bolt and vote the
democratic ticket, which was nominated by Q
convention having only two red delegates.
