The school Board aud Nr. Gates.

tHf Nfh'bt HHu
EDITORS INruLLIGENCER: Your crti-
cism of the action Of the majority of the
school board in refusing To approve the
verdict of the investigating committee in
the Gates ease, has met with the approval
of the great majority of our citizens. We
begin 10 think our learned and digniiiod
school board, like the " "IIeathcn Chincc,"
isa little peculiar" Let Us sce.
ON motion of Mr.. ilegener an investigat-
ing committee was appointed to inquire
into the truth or ialsity of the very serious
charges brought against Mr.. Gates by r.
X. Buohrlc. Mr. Hcgcner and Drs
Bolonius and Rai,h were appointed upon
that committee, and they made unani-
nous report that the charges were false and
untounded. Although the committee care
fully examined the evidence as presented
before them, the board refused To accept
tho verdict of the committee aud that, too,
without hearing the evidence read, or with
ont expressing II desire To hear it. And,
not only So ; one of the memhors of the
committee, AFTER signing the report, voted
against accepting it rs the Judgment of the
board. How does that strike YOU? In the
language of one of our distinguished citi-
zcns l am led to oNClaim, "Oh, CON
sistcncy, where art thy iowels?" And il
should be remembered that Congressman
BroSius,. who voted for the appoint
ment of an investigating committee,
positively voted against receiving the re-
port as the judgment ofthe board, although
he had never heard a word of evidence in
the cases. How does that strike YOU? DO
YOU think this distinguished gentleman is
Ivy prccept and example setting his more
humble colleagues in the school board an
example worthy To hc followed?
Another strange matter noticed by read
ing the school board proceedings is that
some members voted against generating
Mr.. GatoS from the outrageous charges
brought against him and yet voted for hi,
reelection Inconsistency has any "jow els
here is the place where some oft them ought
To he found, In one breath, they vote that
II man is dishonest and immoral, aud in the
next breath they vote for him rs u teacher
of the Duke street grammar school. Such
consistency touches the very cookies of
our heart" Polo.

The Secretary Paid.
Springfield Republican.


A few days ago, when Secretary of
War Proctor was returning from q
visit to his home in Vermont on the
Bennington Rutland Railroad, he
found that he lad neither ticket nor
pass with him, but he assured con-
ductor that he might be relied upon
to make it all right with the corpora
ton. and thus hoped to be allowed
the silence and solitude of his berth
without further parley. heconduc-
tor, however felt the full weight of the
enforcement of the rules, which will
not recognize IL deadhead pure and
simple, even in SO important a per-
sonage as the Secretary Proctor is
evidently notso skilled in emitting
the payment of railroad fares as his
more distinguished predecessor in
Cabinet office, Daniel Webster. Mr..
Webster was once on his way to
Washington, and was seated in a
group of congressman and Senators
when the conductor came and boldly
demanded tickets" All delivered
except Mr.. Webster. The conductor
touched him and impatiently re-
peated his demand. who is the
presi lent of this road?" asked Mr..
Webster.at the same time gazing at
the man from his deep-set eyes in
a way that was rapidly doing him
up. The name was given, and Mr..
Webster dispersed all further doubt
as to his right to free ride with the
remark: "Well, he is a friend otmine,
and will paw him."

Thousands of Cats.


when l was living in a steamboat
town on the Mississippi" remarked
an old man in a BARRIERS shop few
days ago, "there was a fellow who
put up Il very neat job on the in
habitants, against whom he must
have had n terrible grudge. He
came into the town one day and dis
tributed hand bills right and left,
taking special pains to put as many
as possible into the hands of farmers
who come to sell their gram. That
was before the railroads came to
take business away from the river
towns, some of which Had an iIi-
mense trade.
''The place l was in had 5000 or
5000 inhabitants, and was the
shipping port for all the grain raised
for miles around, as well as the place
where the farmers obtained all Their
supplies. The last time was there
it had dwindled down to q village OF
1000, and perhaps by this time it
has no existence at all, even on the
map. These bills that were SO freely
scattered about stated that the
advertiser had q contract with q
certain steamboat company for
furnishing a large number of cats to
destroy the rats and mice that were
very numerous about the warehouses
at different landings along the river:
He Therefore offered S3 for each full
grown tom cat, 50 for each healthy
feamale puss, and so cents head
for kittens old enough to get their
own living. All the cats were to be
delivered at a certain place in the
town on a Thursday evening-the
night that particular boat was
due.
"Well, that Thursday afternoon
came and all the streets of the town
were just crowded with people. They
came in wagons, on foot; and on
horseback, and every person carried
sack, some of them several. By
evening between 5000 and 1000
cats had been brought into that
defenseless city. They were left in
and about vacant building near
the landing: The man who was to
purchase the cats was nowhere il
sight. The country people were
making inquiries for him everywhere.
A crowd of boys, attracted by the
caterwauling, went into the building
and began amusing themselves by
hntying the bags and letting out the
cats. Of course the cats began
fighting and raised noise like TO-
600 demons.
Suddenly a stampede occurred
and the animalsrushed pell nell into
the crowd, crawling over people,
Jumping and fighting, and climbing
walls and roots in a mad face for
liberty. The boys took after the
cats, and the men joined in, deter
mined to rid the town of the feline
invaders. The next morning there
was a good many stray cats seen
about in back yards, and a good
many dead ones lying in the streets
and valleys. One boatman said he
counted 400 dead cats in the river.
The man who perpetrated the joke
was never again seen in the place,
luckily for him. "-Pittsburg Dis

Railroad Anecdotes.

Celebrities often have amusing
things said to them in railway trains.
There is well known story about the
late Matthew Arnold, who was
bored to the extent of longjourney
by an ignoramus who would talk lit
erature to him. Mr.. Arnold would
not dispute with him, but when, with
the portentous seriousness of one
who has discovered q great truth, he
said: "In. my opinion William
Shakespeare was q greatpoe F." Mat
thew Misunderstanding. his hand, and
with equal gravity said: "Do let me
shake hands with the only admirer
oi my tavorite poet. A story of a
very different kind is told of DR.,
Oliver Wendell Holmes. Travelling
down to Gloucester he heard a long
conversation taking the autocrat's
hat and saying, II read something in
the paper the other day about the
size of great mems heads, and l
thought I'd like to know the size OF
yourn. But what bother's me is, my
heads the biggest of the two."-

Moses Was Mad.

A laughable illustration of how
anger causes q man to make himself
ridiculous is given in the following
incident from q German newspaper:
Banker Rosenthal directed his book
keeper to address q sharp letter to
Baron Y, who promised several
times to pay what he owed and had
as often neglected to do so. When
the letter was written it did not
please Banker Rosepthal, who is
very excitable, and he angrily penned
the following: Dear Baron Y:
Who was it that promised to pay up
on the first of January? You, my
dear Baron, you are the man. Who
was it that promised then to settle
on the first of March? You, my dear
Baron. Who was it that didn't
settle on the fist of March? You,
nv dear Baron. Who is it, then
who has broken his word twice, and
is an unmitigated scoundrel? Your
obedient servant.
Moses Rosenthal. %
