''lt is so simple that you will have no

In this way she is enabled to rest, and

This is the prescription as Nine. Bern

The BODY of Prentice Milford, well-known
In New York and in this State as newspa-
per writer, was found in canoe on the
afternoon of Memorial day in Sheepshead
Bay. lie had evidently been dead about
four days. But all this is of so compare
lively recent date that for the details of his
death and biography the @. G. refers you to
the newspapers of that date. As regards
the other subject-matter of inquiry it must
be sad that Milford was, in a certain sense
OF the word, misanthropic. His mind was
speculative, and more particularly in regard
TO future conditions after the soul throws off
this earthly body. A tendency to spiritual
lstlc dogmas developed into full-fedged be-
lief, and he was to have written an essay
Tor his publication, ''The White Cross"
while lie was on his trip. and it was to have
reached the Office on the day on which the
BODY was found. Mr.. Milford was
no. only spiritualist but a medium.
Although blessed with a fine mind and a
faclle pen Mulford's friends say that in re-
cent years he had grown somewhat eccen-
URIC, ms weak point being q tendency to
spirltuallSm and kindred fancies. Within
one Year he had written thirty-seven essays
TOR the White Cross Magazine, nearly all of
them having to do with what lie was pleased
10 can the force of thought and the silent
power of the mind" The letters found in
the canoe close beside Muford's body prove
very c0ncluSlyely that the spiritual world
had firm hold on him. He wrote them, it
appears from their context, at the dciation
OF a splrltualiStic being, who chose this
means OF communicating with him. The
letters were filled with assurances that the
spirit was close beside him, watching
over him and guarding him from harm, and
Jilat brighter DAYS were in store for him.

FIRST PUBLIC SCHOOL,. s.. City. In
September. 1851, the Common Council of
San Francisco passed measure "for the
establishment, regulation and support Of
free common schools in the city," so that
under this school ordinance the first public
school organized was, strictly speaking, the
Happy Valley School, organized on Novem-
Der Is, 1851, and located at the corner of
Bush and Stockton streets. There were
other schools before this, it must be remem-
berfd, and they were called public schools
because they were chiefly supported from
the public funds. though in fact the City
Council had nothing to do with the organ
Zail0n or management. In June. 1850, T.
j. NevinS. who was the first Superintendent
Of Public Schools, obtained for school pur-
poses the free use Of a building in Happy
Valley, near where Mission and Second
streets now iuterSect. and on July 18th it
was opened as a school and continued until
about the spring or summer of 1851. when it
was suspended. 1t was originally supported
by voluntary contributions chiefly, but near
It's close the Common Council voted an
appropriation for the relief of the teachers
