put.
At this point Mr. Matthews introduced
| a resolution to the effect that the entire
matter be referred to a committee consist.
ing of the nine members of the board OF
| education and nine citizens, same to re.
port to another meeting of the district to
be held on that day. This motion was de-
nal vote was passed.
| Before Attorney Fowlsr's resolution was
| put Principal Isaac Thomas of the HIGH
school gave several pertinent reasons why
the resolution should not be adopted. He
characterized the present condition of the
| high school as positively disgraceful. The
school was, he said, originally built to &C
commodate 400 pupils, aud 500 could be
| accommodated, but last year there were
| $50 names on the roles. After the present
senior class leaves there will remain 49O
pupils. There are 149 who will enter this
year without examination, while 1871 others
! are trying to pass the examinations. OF
this number If 800 only enter it will make
$40 pupils in the school, or 100 more than
| can be possibly squeezed in. He also
| agreed with Mr.. Graves In the statement
that the manual training school would not
relieve the high school for the same reasons
| as advanced by Mr.. Graves.
| Attorney Q. d. Fowler said in reply that
his object in presenting the vote was that
the board of education would give the
matter of the training school Its immedi.
ate attention. The appropriation for this
school had been made in September, 1881.
and yet nothing had been done in the mat,
ter. The building should be erected at
| once, and let the high school come later.
| When Mr.. Fowler referred to the board
of education cries of s'Turn them out +"
were heard In several parts of the hall, to
which Mr.. Fowler replied that he thought
probably the members had done as we'll as
they could, but If he knew for a certainty
that such was not the case he would be
among the first to vote to turn them out.
After some further discussion INDUCED
In by number of gentlemen, on motion
of Attorney J. T. Moran the resolution
was laid on the table.
The meeting then voted to authorize the
board of education to accept and carry into
effect such provisions for state normal
school ct New Haven as may be enacted by
the legislature, and to procure site for
such purpose either by purchase or con-
domination, and appropriate $50. 900 for
that purpose.

Oratory Still Powerful.

The orator and the audience occupy
the same relative positions they did in
the earliest age. If DemOsthenes and
Cicero were alive now they would sway
men as they did in the old time. Web
ster and Clay retained their hold till
the day of their death, less than fifty
years ago, and could they be supposed
as living now with undiminished pow
ers they would still convince and per
suade. If Patrick Henry We're alive
now with that wonderful voice with
which in his old age he amused him
self, he would make mems eyes glisten
and fill even as he did in old st. Johns
in Richmond. A gift of God is never
lost, nor, does it ever cease to be val.

ed. Is. W. Hartman, of RcadEeld,
used to drive the stage from Readheld
depot To the seminary 1T Kent's Hill. a
distance OF about four miles over the
hills. One clustering day of winter a
package containing five hundred dol
lars in City dollar bills was part Of
his charge. In order to be particularly
careful Of the money he put it on the
seat OF the stage. and then posted him
self on It. As he weighed about two
hundred pounds he considered the
money tolerabiy safe, but in some way
his weight broke the string and seal of
the package, and in 4 fateful instant,
when Hartman rose in his seat to
whip his horses through a particularly
stubborn drift, gust of north wind
swept under him and blew the green
backs far and wide over the snow
Hartman saw them speeding over the
field with a feeling of dismay; but he
happened to be near his own home.
and at once called on his neigh bors for
help. No one was more popular in the
town than this same T.. w Hartman,
and the neighbors turned out as to a
fire. BY careful searching of the
field over which the bills had blown all
the money was found but fifty dollars.
The most diligent search failed to dis
cover it, and it was given up for lost.
But they did not count on Harriman's
luck. The field where the bill was lost
was about a quarter of mile from
Harriman's barn, and one day the next
summer Hartman happened to be
standing in his barn door when a heavy
wind sprang up, blowing directly from
that field. His attention was attracted
to faded green object that looked
like leaf and was coming dancing
across the field. Hartman watched it
and saw it futter directly toward him,
and finally sail into the barn door like
a swallow. He caught it and examined
it. 1t was faded and worn, but
through all the wrinkles of time he
discovered the beautiful features of the
fifty dollar bill that blew away from
him the winter before.

These are arranged in row along
the floor in front of the performer. who
holds in his hand a stick, to be used as
pointer. One of the party is now
sent out of the room. while those in.
side agree upon a certain book in the
row, as the one touched. She is now

to one after the other, asks as he does
SO: rs this the one?" If she knows
the secret and has her wits about her,
she will readily guess Alright, and this
may be repeated again and again with
out the uninitiated being able to tell
correctly how it is accomplished.
The way it is done is as follows: Let
us suppose that the fourth book has
been agreed upon and the player who
went outside has returned. The per-
former points at, say, number three
and asks the usual question. No" is
the answer. He then points at five
No then at one-'.No;" then at four
Yes. which is, of course, correct.
At this juncture, very likely, some
one, with semi scornful, superior sort
of expression, will volunteer to go out.
Let him go. / have seen many of him
and much of his defeat. Likely
he will have theory plausible enough
but altogether wrong. That is where
the fun comes in. Half a dozen appar-
ent solutions will readily suggest
themselves to the clever mind, but the
real one scarcely ever.
The whole secret is this: The person
with the pointer is careful to touch
the fourth book at the fourth ques-
ton, and the preceding ones out of or
der. The higher the number of the
book the more difficult it is for the
two performers: thus, If the sixth
book had been agreed upon,
the pointer would touch five in the row
out of order; that is to say. the third
book at the first question, the first at
question two, the second at three, the
fifth at four, the fourth at five, and then
the sixth at question six, being the one
selected. If not cautious, it would be
very easy for him to touch, say, three
at question three, and thus lead the
player to guess the wrong one.
The game may be made the more in
teresting if the performer cleverly
practices little deceptive ruses, such as
manipulat his fingers in holding the
pointer, as as to lead the spectators to
think that therein lies the secret /
have seen many persons, disappointed
in this way, put on most ludicrous ex-
pressions of countenance imagina BILE
Then, too, the number of books or
articles may be increased to almost any
extent, but the higher the number of
the one touched, of course. the greater
will be the demand upon the memory
and the wits of the players.-George II.
Wesley, in Christian Union.
