To His Excelency, Francis Il. Nichols, Cover
nor Of Louisiana:
Goyernor-Under date of May 6, 1891. the
consul of Italy at this port p. Corte. saw
lit TO address to w. H Chafee foreman
of the grand jury then in session, a very
remarkable letter. The evening of the day
on which II was written the consul sent
copies of the letter by the hand of his sec
rotary to the daily papers for publication.
| inclose printed copy of that letter. Your
cXcellency being 4 resident in NewOrleans. is
fully aware of the fact that ever since the
assassination of Superintendent of Police
Hennessey on October 16, 1890, the papers
have tcemed with all manner of
vaporings from p Corte In the
shape of interviews. etc. For
these reported sayings he could not
properly be held as officially responsible,
and since he was scarcely credited
with one statement before another was
made either exactly opposite of,
or largely qualifying the first, his
vagaries and clustering We're regarded by
all but his own people rs either laughable
or contemplate.
This letter of May to the foreman of the
grand jury was very properly returned by
that body to the writer as being i'm
pertinent. Besides being impertinent. the
letter contained statement abso-
lutely false, and beyond ques-
ton known to cbe false by Corte
If italian Consul Corte has had any use Ill
ness he has outlived il. and has become,
through his own acts, not only an unaccept-
able person, but an element of danger to
this community, in that by his utter
ances he inciteS intiamable people to
riot or sullen opposition to the laws and
customs of the country. They have sought
him as being the depository, as he con-
fessed himself, of criminal secrets relating
TO individuals Of his race resident among
us. He refuses TO give the department of
police and justice information he has. and
thereby increases the danger to the COM
munity from these criminals. For these
reasons l have the honor to request that

PLAYING STREET CARS IN SCHOOL.
A Boston School Teachers Clever Method
of intoxicating Politeness.

A Boston School Teachers Clever Method
of intoxicating Politeness.
There is one woman in Boston who is de
termined that her sex shall not debar her
from putting heavy mark on the next
generation. She is a school teacher, and
one of the few who do not undervalue
their position and its influence. She has
suffered a deal in her time for the bad
manners prevalent in public places, and
every year she has about fifty boys and
girls between the ages of Z and 9 in her
power between five and six hours five days
out of seven, and she thinks that it will go
hard if she does not do something toward
intoxicating manners into them, and at
the same time hitting the parents a side
slap which may not be without its result.
This is one of her methods: Once Il week
half an afternoon is given to recreation,
and she invents games for the amusement
and instruction of her class, so that while
they think they are playing they are really
learning something. One of these games
the one, in fact, which the youngsters en-
joy most-is called street car" The CEN
trail aisle of the class room, with its row of
seats on either side, becomes the electric
car.
A boy is chosen for the motor man. This
post is given to a boy who has been very
good for the week, and in a simple way
the teacher makes the class understand
how the electricity runs the car. Another
boy is the conductor, and they have paper
checks for fares. The other children are
all passengers They are supposed to be
business men returning home to dinner
and it is impressed upon them that they
are very tired and very anxious to read
their papers-and women who have been
shopping or to the matinee.
One by one the children signal the car,
and the conductor rings his bell, the motor
man turns his crank the passenger enters,
walks down the aisle and takes a seat. FL
nally all seats are taken, and to point the
play the better most of the boys enter first
and take the chairs. Then the girls board
the inprovised car. The boys, being i'm
pressed that they are very tired, politely
rise one by one and ciyilly offer the girls
the seats until every one is up but one boy,
who is known in the game as the pig"
Then the teacher enters. She plays her
own part, and the children are supposed to
be her old pupils, who are glad to see her,
and all the girls, even, are anxious that she
should take their seats, and still the pig"
glanced at with surprise by all the chill
dren, sticks to his seat. Now this game
is very popular with the class, but no one
enjoys being the 'pig."
The teacher says that she already notes
the great improvement which her pupils
show in manners. They are most anx-
ious to do civil things for one another,
and" remarks the teacher, ''do you not
think that they tell this story at home?
Do you not think that the pig gets shown
up by those little ones in his true colors?
I do not know if the papas and older broth
ers are shamed by it, but am sure that
hope they are and mean them to be.''-

Age of the Ohio.

An examination of the geological struc-
ture Of the country through which the
Ohio flows shows none but the extreme
end of the valley to be of later age than
the carboniferous. Portions are, indeed,
far oldery but the area covered by these.
though perhaps extensive enough to allow
the development of some system of drain
age, was never large enough to develop q
stream of any great size. None of the
tributaries of the river, either from the
north or the south, flows through regions
more recent than the carboriferous, with
the exception of the lower parts of the
Ohio itself and Of the Tennessee, which
border on the quaternary. The lowest
formation in the valley is the Cincinnati,
which is just touched at single point, and
only for short distance, about twenty
miles above the city
1t may be stated, then, that since the
close of carboniferous time the river has
flowed mainly in the same channel. The
vast antiquity Of the river in thus easily
established, and the existence of the wide
valley, with its broad bottom lands, is
readily accounted for. The story of the
river during the long period of preglacial
time would be simple. For ages its waters
were probably poured directly into the
Gulf of Mexico, an arm of which extended
northward into the continent at least as
far as the present site of Cairo, ILLS. In
later time the Mississippi Missouri began
the formation of delta, which, gradually
extending, has left the Ohio q tributary
