Protection for School Teachers.

The principal of one of the Chicago
public schools was made the other day
the victim OF peculiarly brutal personal
assault on the part OF an aggrieved parent,
whose boy had failed to pass an exami-
nation. IL the case were an isolated one
1t would hardly call for comment, but
several incidents of the sort have oc-
Cured during the past year or two, and
the offenders have unfortunately escaped
with trif1ing fine. This time, IL APP
pears, the ruffian is likely to receive
something like his deserts. The school
authorities are determined to make an
example of the assallant, and see that he
Is punished to the full extent of the
law. There are too many parents, now
adays who, instead of seconding the
disciplinary efforts of their children's in
structors, are inclined to antagonize
them, and hastily to assume that II a
II must be the teachers fault. Instead
of taking 1t out of the boy.in the good
old way they take II out of the teacher
In the improved modern fashion. A
teacher Is public officer, and physical
assault upon teacher should be treated
more seriously than such an offence COM
mitted against private individual. 1t
is a matter of the highest concern TO the
State that teachers should be made to feel
that the law will give them full protec-
tion in the discharge of their duties, and
that they should not be terriorized into
an unduly lenient treatment of idle or
vicious children by fear OF personal vio-
lence. The attack now in question has
called out widespread sympathy for its
victim, and the criminal proceedings
against his assailants will be watched
with interest by teachers everywhere. -

SAVAGE THE RADICAL.

Rev. MINoT j. SAVAGE, Of the Church
of the Unity, in Boston, in his farewell
sermoa-he goes to New York to boa
soclated with DR.. CoLLIyR-reviews the
religious change and growth in Boston
during the twenty-five years OF his pas
toratc, and it must have been surprisingly
interesting to many OF the congregation
that packed the auditorium to be told
that when this distinguished minister
first came to New England he was re-
gsrded as a dangerous man to be shun.
ned by all but the most desperately radi-
cal. When SAVAGE was called from Chi
cago TO the Boston church number OF
the dangerous reputation that had pre-
ceded the new minister, although it was
the beloved DR.. EDWARD EVERETT HALE
who was largely influential in bringing
SAVAGE out.
SAVAGE unmasked his batteries, how
ever, promptly and fearlessly, and after
getting well settled in his charge he deliv-
cred series Of sermons on the religion OF
evolution. At that time Darwinism was
ridiculed rs absurd or denounced as dan
gerous. Today DR.. LYMAN ABBOTT has
made common among the orthodox
people this same doctrine. Twenty years
ago SAVAGE stood alone in Boston. To-
day there is not Unitarian pulpit in
the land that does not give him cordial
welcome. Thirty years or SO before,
THEODORE PARKER had been compel
led to leave the Unitarian fellow
ship for deliveries of the SAVAGE
kind and EMERSON had found
Unitarianism too narrow for him. Today
the Unitarian Church reveres PARKER
and boasts of EMERSON. Today Unitsr-
ianism is free from any binding creed.

Owners of Creole antiquities and relics
In Louisiana have just received an unpleas-
ant shock. Several Northern dealers in
antiquities and bric-a-brac rummaged
among the Creole households of Louisiana
few years ago aud unearthed and carried
OFF almost priceless treesurers, mainly in
china ware and furniture, brought here
by the early French settlers, who were
generally cadets of good family or emf
gres during the early days of the French
revolution. Two New Orleans bankers
who thought that there We're still more
important art treasures here, "blushing
unseen" started, some five years ago, to
make collection of paintings brought
over by the early French settlers. A
connaisseur, who took charge of the
paintings, was certain that there. were
some really valuable ones among these
family heiIlooms. The collection, which
has been steadily growing for the past
weeks ago, as ii was thought that the
paintings would bring better prices there,
besides being authenticated. A CT BILE
message has exploded the bubble. The
French critics pronounce the paintings
"no good, and not genuine, and they
will be shipped back to New Orlesns If
they are worth the expense Of shipping.
Those who are "out" on this art trans
action are unable TO understand why the
French emigres clung to paintings which
were of no value whatever, for there is
no question of their having been brought
over here and treasured, many of them
for over century in Creole families. The
emigres, at least those who went to
Louisiana, were evidently not good
judges of art. -Harper's Weekly.

CHAT.

DidSyou ever see tin wreaths, tin
flowers, tin "pillows," for funeresl pur-
poses?
never did until the other day, though
the weybosset street florist who had a lot
hanging on the wall told me they had
been In the market in this country for a
decade. Maybe / have looked at thcm
before, but thought them real.
The florist tells me that they don't take
in this country. Perhaps our people have
too much sentiment in their composition
to decorate the graves OF their loved ones
with floral offerings quilt to last through
wind and weather for year or more
providing thei superintendent OF the
cemetery dusts them OF occasionally.
II you have been abroad you may have
taken note of these productions. The
florist tells me that in France the "bost
people make use OF them, and order
special designs IN tin and porcelain fsuvos
and buds Stimulating nature In all the
familiar and unfamiliar styles OF ."tet
pieces" The prices run from couple OF
dollars, perhsps, for a modest wreath, to
Hfty OF q hundred dollars for larger pieces.

TICKETS FOR EVERYTHING.


Dearborn street business house q
day or two since turned over col
lection OF benefit and charity enter
tainments 1t had bought within two
months from representatives of various
societies and bodies who have come to
the office, and, as outlined in the fore
going, insisted on seeing the proprietor.
.The tickets numbered In all 122--an
average OF over. two day for the work.
ing days OF the time covered. he prices
ranged from rs cents to $40. the popular
hgures being 80 cents and 81. All sorts OF
bodies were represented in the collection.
Ii would seem that.all the nations OF the
earth and all the interests imaginable
some form OF real or alleged amusement
Tor public recognition and support.
There were charity balls and readings
and vaudeville entertainments for char
ity. There were musicales tor church
purposes, and musicales for the benefit
OF aspiring artists. There were balls
for labor. and balls for the
employees OF hotels where the purchasers
never ate or slept. Secret societies and
schools were, well represented In the list.
There were vereins and leagues and
gemeindes and councils and fairs and
associations and missions and reformator-
les and lodges and brigsdes and tourna-
what other sorts OF bodies.
some Of the events were to take place
In churches and some In beer halls;
some catered to the tastes OF the aesthetic
and some TO the notions of those who
only want a good time for an hour or
two. 1t was moIley collection and one
that would have been an eye-opener to
those uninitiated IN the mysteries of en-
tertainments arranged with designs on
the. pu blic purse.
A characteristic Of these entertainment
tickets is worthy of mention. There are
no balls or concerts simply, they are all
grand balls and concerts. Even the watt
ers and porters OF a tenthsrate hotel would
disdain to give ball without superla-
tive prefix or affix. There are, likewise,
no artists-all are eminent artists or the
best local talent. AS q rule, too the small
ler the event. the larger the ticket. Per-
haps this Is by way OF compensation.
Pointing to a pasteboard of gigantic
size, with enough Literature on ii to furn-
ish several minutes reading, the purchas-
er said: 81 don't grudge the money
paid for that. 1t only cost half dollar,
and there's that much paper and print

When Bishop Fowler was young man

that Miss Willard reported to mother that

Did you read about little Marcella and
the President of the United States?
Little Marcella's father--the family live
In Pennsylvania town-took her to see
the President. According to the story,
little Marcella had heard her father re-
mark that he thought Mr.. Cleveland was
"Iooking for a third term" She had
asked what third term was, and had
been delicately informed that it was
something she. was jet too young to un-
derstand.
When Marcella stood in the presence Of
the President, she looked up into his eyes
and with the fearlessness and artless-
ness of innocence demanded:
"Mr. Cleveland, is you looking for q
third term?''
It.is said that the President looked over
Msrcella's head into far distant space
and the child, perhaps, feeling intuitively
that she had committed faux pas hast
ened to relieve the big mans embarrass-
ment by remarking sweetly, "f you are
/ hope you will fnd it,"
Which reminds US that the innocence
of childhood can play the deuce with
even SO imposing thing as statesman

CANDIDATE AND CHANGES.

"The charges that are currently made
in connection with somo members OF this
1.-THE hcense) board OF commissioners
would seem TO justify an immediate and
Thorough investigation at your hands"
This Is an Official utterance, made pre-
sunably. with due elaboration in the
Mayors message. The "charges" referred
10 were made on the stump by the Mayor
before be became Mayor, and then the
Mayor after he became Mayor quoted and
approved them and called for the investi-
cation in language somewhat modified
from the. vituperation OF the stump.
The charges that candidate McGUINNEss
made and that Mayor McGUINNEss called
the attention Of the Council to could not
be sustained, and have not been sus-
tained. They were as unwarranted when
candidate McGUINNEss made them, and
when Mayor McGUINNEss endorsed them,
as they are now proven to be. Yet candidate
MCGUINNEss did not hesitate TO assert
that they were true and Mayor MoGUIN-
NESS allowed that they "justitied investj-
CATION" AS matter Of fact, no inves-
tigation OF charges made on the stump
by the Democratic partizan candidate for
Mayor were justified. If we look. back
into the records OF the Mayor we shall
find that where investigation of anything
he may say is justified IT is when his
statements are In the nature of endorse
mcnt and approval rather than Of
charges.

Where Gen. Grant Smoked His Last

Men OF the greatest prominence, such
as u. 3. Grant, August Belmont, Jay
B. +. Tracy, William C.. whitney, and
Sheppard Il. Knapp, were in the habit OF
going to Stony Ford for two or three
days at a time, and devoting sunlight to
an examination of the horses, and lamp
light TO the discussion of breeding
TOPICS. After dinner the party would
adjourn TO the smoking-room upstairs,
light cigars, recline in easy-chairs, and
give no heed to passing hours. Ere
quently the clock would strike two or
three before the discussion would end.
This smokinP-room SHOWS the stains OF
time, and IL its walls could speak, stories
of enhancing interest would be told. II
