TO ASSORT OCEAN MAILS.
German Postal Officials in This Country
on an Independent Mission.

New YORK, December 15.-Among
the passengers on the Trave, which ar
rived here yesterday from Bremen,
were Herr a. Sachz Ministerial
Director of the German Postal Ser
vice at Berlin. and his secretary
and assistant, Herr ii. Petzold.
Their object in coming to the United
States is to arrange, If possible, for the
appointment of postal inspectors, who
should also represent the Custom House,
or board German mall steamers coming
to ports in this country. The duty OF
these inspectors would be to inspect
and assort all mails on board the YES
sells while they are en- route from Ger
man To American ports.
1t is claimed that this system would
insure the delivery of foreign mails at
least twelve hours sooner than under
the present system. The German post
Office officials will, it is said, willingly
place officials for the same purposes on
mail steamers sailing from American
ports to Germany. The director and his
secretary left for Washington yesterday

Pleasing Entertainment.

Pleasing Entertainment.
There was very pleasing entertain
ment given yesterday afternoon at the
new Madison school building, on the
Island, an entertainment something
above the ordinary run Of these school
events, and one which reflected meri-
torously upon the talents and ingenuity
of the scholars, Principal Stevenson and
qis efficient corps OF teachers, who were
the guiding spirits, receiving the first
medal OF praise.

nature and rather surprised the specta-
tors in not only its picturesque effect,
but in its completeness OF detail. The
exhibition was given in one Of the large
recitation rooms on the second floor,
and large stage capable OF holding
fifty or more scholars, was constructed
for the occasion, and well appointed.
Wires were strung and an appropriate
curtain arranged. The entertainment
yesterday was more especially for the
children, and at the hour OF opening
the programme, the room, seats and
standing room were occupied with little
boys and girls. 1t was sea of bright,
twinklng eyes and happy faces.
The entertainment was made up Of
chorus songs, recitations and tableauy,
the last OF which were all given in
pretty and appropriate costumes, and
were well constructed pictures, espec-
tally those representing Faith, "Jep-
tha's Daughter" and pyramids OF
Beauty" The. tableauy entitled
(Which is your favorite flower" was
participated In by little children be-
tween the ages Of two and four, and was
one of the hits of the afternoon.
The tablcaux were conducted by
MisScr Virginia Norton and Rida
l.. Dean. In the table exercises Miss
Lasley, tot OF singer, especially dis
tinguished herself The flag drill Of %
feature Of the program. There were
also lots Of other good things present
ed, and nearly 100 pupils took part in
the entainment. The teachers who so
cleverly prepared this dIsersion were
Mrs. NJ. Burt, Mrs. M.Lynn, and Misses
Mollie Poguc, Mary Faris, Lizzie Tap
pan, Minta Foster, Estella Hull, Han
nah Whally. Jennie lIersey. Alice Eng
lish, Annie Ewing. Kate Hall, Virginia

This entertainment will be repeated
this evening at the same place for the
benefit OF parents and others who de-
sire to attend. Colored fires will be
burned on the stage to increase the
briliancy of the tableaux. but Principal
Stevenson has arranged an ingenious
device by which not particle OF the
odor escapes into the room.
