TACT is an essential to success in

those occupations in which man deals
with man. Every act Of the teacher
should show he understands himself
and those with whom he labors. His
tact is shown in his management OF

dual The patrons and the board may
seem TO have their own way, but in the

the following dispatch:
Hon. John c. New, formerly treasursr.af
tho United States, and now consul general At
London, has arrived in Washington and will
sail again for England on Saturday. Your
correspondent met Mr.. New and had an In
teresting talk on the silver situation In Eng
land.
Mr.. New said that In his honest judgment a
satisfactory solution Of the problem was In
the near future.
"The assurance OF bi-metalllc congress,
with England thoroughly aroused to the
pressing necessity Of affirmative action 10 In
] Itself great triumph" said Mr.. New, 'but

ise to our silver interests and to all CONNER

continued, land assure you that no efforts
to suppress tic rising In England In favor Of

from the London Standard giving report Of
bl-mctallic meeting held In Egyptian Hall.
"Look at the names, )" he said, samuel Lloyd

urging bi.mctalllsm, you will gain some Idea
OF the pressure which was brought upon Eng.

Of Trade was held yesterday. Eugene Greg

San Jose, :. J. StabIer Of Yuba City, /. c.
McAfee of Bakersfield. a. A. HibbeTd Of
Chico, ". II. Mills of San Francisco. John
P. Irish and Z. W. Masliu were present.
The fuEnce committees report showed
that the disbursements during April and
May were S1lS9 and the receipts $3.50. A
letter received from Parker Wellesley &
Go. OF London stated That the profits OF all
fruits sent from California TO England
which had not to pay duty was cents and
mills per pound; aud on apTicOts, plums
aud pruBes, upon which duty was chaTEeable
the profit was cents and mills per pound.
An agent Of the JOhnsOn-LOCke Company
has recently secured the State for tine dried
fruits for the London market but could
not find any, showing that all had been
sold, such was the demand for California
dried fruits.
J. BeTtOn. the local correspondent for the
journal des Debats Of Paris, wrote the
board suggesting that an invitation should
be sent 10 the editors Of the various French
newspapers during their ylslttO the World
Fair next year such an invitation if ac-
cepted would be a grand advertisement for
the State and many French wine-gTOwers
would thereby be induced TO settle here.
There was quite a debate on the subject
and the letter was finally referred TO the
committee On correspondence. W. II. NJ Ills
spoke very foTcbly and humorOuSly on this
subject and on the recent visit OF the
National Editorial Association 10 California.
Reports OF various committees were then re-
ceIYed and the meeting adjourned.
