Facing 1t Out.

New York, March 2.-Henry A
Gould, the head of the firm of Henry A
Gould & Co., of Boston, which assigned
yesterday, arrived here to-day. He says
that the firm sustained heavy losses by
fire in Boston, in 1870, by the failure Of
Vogel & Co., in China, in 1880, and also
by the misrepresentation of its funds by
some of its; but, as our general business
was good, he added, we COW
cred up these losses. In 1887,
by the failure of several rubber
companies we lost in the neighborhoo ]
of $145, 900. AT the time of these failures
We went to our friends, who are now our
largest creditors, and told them as much
about our situation as we thought pru-
dent, and they gave us to understand
that they would back us in our attempts
to get our merchandise into friendly
hands and to place our loans at low rates
of interest until the goods were sold and
cur credit had been established. We
differed with our friends as to the advisa-
bility of making this assignment, feeling
that the value OF the stock would be
largely deprecated and our credit ruined
thereby. We were confident that,
within three years, We could have paid
every dollar of our Indebtedness, and
meanwhile, SO strengthened sur credit al
to have got along without outside
assistance.
The statement that we owe about c
million dollars is correct, but there is {
large amount of assets.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-The President
gave dinner to the members of the
Cabinet at the White House this even
ing. The Cabinet officers remained with
the President for several hours after the
dinner was ended, assisting him in the
consideration and dispatch of Congress
sional measures, and in closing up the
affairs of the present administration.
Over a hundred bills we're acted upon.
There was decided lull in the Cabi-
net of speculation to-day, the general
opinion being that seven of the eight
places to be filled have been disposed Of
AS to the Agricultural portfolio a
doubt still prevails, although the belief
of the majority of politicians is that
Governor Rusk will be asked to take it.
Senator Palmer is out of the race.
The Ohio man in this connection proves
to be Grand Master Brigham, of the
State Grange, not Bingham. He fulills
the alleged requirement that the Secre-
tary must be farmer.
The friends of Chairman Houstontare
still endeavoring to prevent the appoint
ment of w. II. H. Miller as At
torney-G General, but are not much
encouraged. They have the sup
port of the Pacific coast people, who
believe that if Miller is not otherwise
disposed of, their section of the country
will be called on to furnish an Attorney
General. They have indicated their
willingness and ability to do this. But
Miller, who, of course, says nothing, is
evidently in the hands of his friends.
All indications point tonight to the set
tlement of the Cabinet in accordance
with the slate given last night, with the
substitution of Governor Rusk for Secre-
tary of Agriculture.

The Belgian ball.

The masquerade ball, given by the
members of the Belgian Benevolent
Society, in the Turnverein Hall last
night, will long be remembered with
pleasure by those who participated in it.
There were Just enough people present to
make the affair enjoyable, the over
crowding usual on such occasions being
antire1y absent. Some Of the costumes
worn by the maskers were very
fine, and displayed great taste
on the part Of the wearers, the
onlookers finding plenty to interest
them in watching and criticising the pa
geanters. Excellent music was provided
by one of Dolls orchestras, and, under
the able management of Mr.. Charles
Raskin, the Belgian Consul in this city
everything went off without hitch
The fun was prolonged until long past
the sounding of the hour which usherec
in the Sabbath, and as the merrymakers
left the hall they were unanimous in
their expressions of pleasure at the gooG
entertainment that had been served VI
to them.

school REFORM.

The mania for competitive ex amina-
tions as sovereign test of merit, has
nowhere done more damage than in our
public schools, and therefore the report
of the Committee of the Board of Educa-
ton exposing it's destructive effects, is a
hopefdl sign of coming reform in the
school system, This rage for examining
and marking is at the bottom of the
whole trouble with the schools. Itmakes
of them machines for the torture of
pupils and teachers, instead of semina-
ries for the useful instruction of
boys and girls. The places OF
the teachers, and their chances
of promotion are made to depend on
their ability to cram their classes, so
that, when the dreaded examination
comes around, he shall find that the
children are all shaped according to one
mould, and with one voice are able to
answer his routine questions. The anx-
| iety of the teacher, therefore, is not to
| impart knowledge and train young intel
lects, but to discipline the class, that i:
shall make good appearance before the
examiners. Whether the children un-
derstand the subjects about which they
answer SO glibly is matter OF no conse-
quence, so long as the teacher gets the
marks requisite for promotion.-lN. Y.

"A ROAD CONGRESS-


The Georgia Road Congress-, which

should initiate.
The object Of the congress was to de-
wise means for improving the public roads,
a commendable undertaking and some
thing no commonwealth or community
should neglect.
GOOD public roads are one Of the great
est essentials OF a perfect civilization, and
no civilization can approach perfection
without them.
Public roads in Alabama are very far.

question into Alabama, but it does insist
that some effort should he made to i'm
