We publish this morning the closing
proceedings in the habedS corpus case of
Reynaud, late misunderstanding Of the
Howard association, charged with EN-
bezzlement. 1t will be seen that At
torney-General Wright promptly, on
the close of the testimony, moved for
the release of Mr.. Reynaud, neither
he nor the court regarding it conclusive
enough to warrant them in holding him
for trial. The prosecution, actuated
from the first by desire solely to Sc
cure justice, adduced all the evidence
possible to establish proofs of the charges
against the defendant, and left nothing


undone necessary to that end, both be-
fore the criminal court as well
as in the committing magistrates
court. We may therefore conclude that
the failure to make case yesterday
will put stop TO any farther proceed
ings, and that Reynaud is to be regarded
as standing acquitted Of any crime.
While rejoicing that man, who, dur
ing the yellow-fever epidemic proved
himself so useful and so thoroughly
humanitarian, has been able TO free
himself from the charge Of embezzle-
ment, and regretting that any necessity
should have arisen for the prosecution,
for the sake of the Howard association
we are not sorry, since the concurrent
testimony of all the witnesses went to
prove the very systematic manner of
doing business, which has in the main
characterised it, and the trustwOrthiness
and reliability of its members and Off
eers. Sift as they might, and cross
examine as close as they would, the
lawyers on either side could only find
that it was next to impossible fer Rey-
maud to commit the crime with which
he was charged, so strict were the rules
and so close and scrutinizing were the
examining and auditing committees.
Therefore, while it is to be regretted that
Mr.. Reynaud's conduct was made the
bysis of this trial, resulting, as it has,
in the triumphant vindieation Of the
Howard association, it furnishes Occa-
sion fH rejoicing for all our citizens,
anxious as they were that the good name
of the city should not suffer at their

WE informed the public in our last issue that the report had been brought to town, just before going to press, that the Apaches had attacked the herd of LeOpOldO Carri- llo on the Rillito and had taken 50 head of stock. We have since learned that the story was very much exaggerated. On re- ceipt of the the news at Camp Lowell, Col. Crlttenden promptly sent detachment of soldiers to recover the stock and punish the Apaches. The soldiers found that two Apaches had come down from the noun tains for ratiOns, and had only succeeded in getting away with two, head of cattle, and before taking them far they killed them and took the meat of a part of one with them to their mountain home. Col. Crittenden is desirouS of doing all he can to get those Apaches out of these noun tainS, but has only few men and no guides; and as the Indians live and hide in the most difficult places of access and are always on the alert, it will undoubted- ly be impossible to get them or drive them out of the mountains without the assis- tance of our Apache allies. It has been rumored that General Crook was going to send Lieutenant Ward into these mouE- tains with his Apache scouts. We hope the rumor will prove true as there is Q general feeling of insecurity, and will be as long as they remain there. ...-

 THE Apache scouts that came in with Capt. Hamilton were in town on Tuesday and were the lions of the occasion. Their old enemies, the Papagos, looked at them from a respectable distance and acted as though they were willing in consideration of recent services, that they should live but did not care to cultivate intimacy with them. Gov. Stafford took them to Neugas' restaurant and gave them lunch and after wards they called in a body on the Gov nr-rl n in

 seeing so large 6 town and pleased that they and the whites were now the same as men and brothers. Archy, bright-eyed

 Apache, rather small of stature, about twenty years old, is the leader of the scouts that came in with Capt. Hamilton. In one Of his campaigns the Captain struck a small trail made by hostile Apa- ches, and Archy solicited permission to take ten Indian scouts and follow it and Capt. Hamilton finally consented to let him go. The next day he returned with three stout athletic prisoners, and seemed to feel chagrned that he had not made good Indians of them. He hastened to tell his story, he said he came upon them and they would not run, in fact they could

 not be coaxed to run, but stoically sat down and told him to shoot them if he de- sired. One of them being a brother, his chivalry got the best of bim and he con- cluded to bring them in alive, but we for got 10 mention that a chief named Skillet pan who was with the aforesaid three, at- tempted to run and Archy sent bullet through his yitals that sent him without preparation on t13e other side of Jordan.

border, and an exquisitely fine half or full
wreath, embroidered in one corner with
the initials or monogram. White gloves
are restored to favor for full dress, or faint
est tint of flesh color. These invariably
accompany white or black ties; no other
color of glove or tie is admissible for full
toilet. Gentlemen rather passe wear laven-
der instead of white. All shades of buff,
nankeen, cafe au lait, drabs and grays are
fashionable. Other colors display dorrbt-
full taste.


In scarf rings, taste in artistic beauty of
design can be gratified by the elegance
and marvellous cuttings of antique stones,
in which, upon foundations of burned GER
annie, are carvings in chrysophose, onyx,
jasper, and sardonyx of every mythology
cal design. Upon base of vivid green is
the exquisite tiny face of Psyche, Phryne
in rosy chalcedony, or bacchante in choc-
olate onyx wreathed in vines. The set
tlngs of these rings are of dark red gold,
or golden with greenish tint, or in dull
Roman gold with filagree setting for the
stone. The ball sleeve buttons connected
by links are very fashionable, but general
ly reserved for full dress or men of leisure;
business men find them awkward, and
prefer the flat sleeve stud. There are
rumors of lace ruffs at the wrists, and fall
lace edged cravats; but just now, instead
of being "plumed like estridges," men
are attired as soberly as the guinea hen.
An air of quiet refinement and taste marks
the wardrobe of a gentlem an.


LusterIess, dead black cloth is made up
in plain full suits for mourning, with wide
bindings; for business and serviceable
wear a cloth comes of jet black, with a
mere speck of white. A fine and pretty
fabric is made up for young gentlemen of
blush or blue granite gray check, and
another style of broken plaid; the plaid
is in the fabric, and there are dainty little
silks. The opera turban is worn by the
young gentlemen, as well as low silk hats,
and another style in soft crowned felt with
turned-up brim. Fashion admits great
latitude in canes and walking sticks. The
black thorn is very substantial and polish
ed highly. There are the beautiful English
hawthorns of as rich brown as the darkest
walnut, the delicate holly, and great
many styles in variety of polished woods,
nearly all finished just as Nature made
them, gnarled and knotty.

The teacher should aim to secure the
constant attention of every member of the
class. The whole class should be constant
ly at work, thinking or giving expression
to thought. The one who secures this re-
suit, other things being equal, is the sue
cessful teacher. How can it be done?-
Not by rules, nor by force, nor by devices
even, though these will help. The teach
er must strive to secure real interest on
the part of the pupils by having and man.
ifesting real interest in the subject him
self. If he has not this interest, he will
fail. If he has it, the following sugges-
tions will help him:


1. Let it be distinctly understood that
you will repeat no question, unless it be a
long and intricate one, after you have ask
ed it once clearly and distinctly. If
pupil says, 81 don't know what the ques-
ton is" give him failure, and pass on.
Ask the question but once, even though it
60 around the whole class. Persevere in
this, and it will teach each pupil to notice
carefully all the questions that are asked.


2. Do not go through the class in regu-
lar order, but call upon the same pupils
irregularly, skipping about from one to
the other, sometimes calling upon the
same person two or three times before you
get around the class. Let each one feel
that he may be called upon at any time.
This will keep them attentive. If you see
a pupil whispering, or inattentive, or look
ing around the room, fire question at
him. Ask him if the answer just given
by some one else was correct, or ask him
to give it. He will avoid inattention, if he
knows that it will surely bring question
to him.


3. Ask the question before you indicate
who is to answer it. This cannot always
be done, but it can in most cases. If you
call on a pupil first, and then ask the
question, the others are at ease until that
question is answered. But if you ask the
question, and then wait moment before
calling on any one, each pupil will be
thinking Of the answer, not knowing but
that he may be called on to answer it. If
you pursue this course, the one called on
must be expected to answer without any
hesitation.


4. After pupil has recited, call on the
class, in proper way, to criticse him.
This will make him recite care fully, and
will keep the class on the lookout for mis-
takes. Those who have a correction to
make should indicate their desire to do so
by raising hand.

CHINESE METHOD OF RAISING MONEY
FOR RELIGIOUS PURPosEs.-An English
traveller lectured before scientific society
in London recently, and described the
Chinese method of raising money for the
building or repairing Of temples as follows:
- In the streets of Pekin | one day found
a man in sort of wooden sentry box;
large nails had been driven into it, so that
their points projected through. This pre-
vented the man from leaning against the
sides, and the only rest he had was from
sitting on board within. He was
monk, and never seemed to sleep, for he
had string with which he night and day
sounded a large, sonorous bell every few
minutes, as a sort Of advertisement for his
purpose. This was, that the benevolent
should come forward with money: each
nail represented sum. When any one
paid tlIat sum his name was stuck up on a
bit of paper, and the nail was pulled out,
making it more comfortable for the hermit
within. All the nails represented the nee
essary amount for the repair of a temple
which was close behind. This is common
proceeding for raising the wind for such
purposes. | was told that this monk had
been two years shut up and that he would
likely be another year before he got out of
his cocoon of nails"

THE PROCESS NANUFACTURE. 4.


In the tower there are several floors, but
t.oo of them are used only for dropping
shot. One next to the roof, two hundred
feet high, from which TTTT's to B shot
are dropped. The other, one hundred and
thirty-five feet high, from which No. l to
13 are dropped. On each of these floors
there is brick furnace with an iron kettle
large enough to hold five tons of lead; here
the lead is melted. The dropping pans are
circular with holes punched through the
bottom like an ordinary collender, except
that the holes are perfectly smooth, and
pan made for each size of shot. The pan
is suspended on a frame directly over a
well or tank of water at the bottom of the
tower into which the shot falls, which both
cools and prevents the shot from being
dented. The melted lead is dipped out Of
the kettle, by two men, into the dropping
pan. The lead is repenished by putting
in pigs of lead and pigs of temper, for
without the temper the lead would not
form into globes, but would run through

begins the pan is prepared with what is
called setting stuff, or scum, which is
placed in the bottom. AS fast AS the shot
falls into the well, the elevator with shot
buckets dips it up and carries it up the
tower some sixty feet and discharges it
into spout, and thence into a large re-
ceiver where the shot is drained of water.
From this receiver the shot passes through
another spout on to steam drying pan on
the floor below, and as fast as it dries it

we have o criminal violation of the Election
laws, a conviction Of the offenders in . court
of justice and chance for the reform Of re-
form. When the old Tammany spectators
were in difficulty the cry raised by their
friends was similar to that now heard from
the friends of the new lights of reform-their
offences were technical, and public sym
pathy was claimed in their behalf The
Tammany Sachem might have taken few dol
lars in loose kind of a manner out of the
city treasury, but it had been for the benefit
of his party, and the money had been used for
political purposes. The Police Commissioners
may have violated the law, but they did so
with good intention. To be sure the money
was traced in the one case into the pockets Of
gained by the violation of the Election law
was to inure to the benefit of the perpetrators
of the offence. But that matters nothing.
Their Intentions" were all right and their
guilt is only technical" The people who
have an interest in the matter may by and BY
should not show the purity of their
motives and their devotion to the
public interests by strict adherence
to the provisions OF laws designed TO protect
those interests. When they do it will not be
long before they overthrow reform" as they
overthrow Tammany, and try another set Of
rulers. Whether the result will be any more
propitious than that which has followed the
replacement of the old Tammany Ring by the
combined rings of political reformors is
question that time alone can determine.


Meanwhile we may look for general
scrambling and scratching among the poll
ticians for the vacant Police Commissioner
ships, for we presume that the attempt to
prove that conviction for violation Of law is
not conviction for violation of the oath of
Office, that misdemeanor which comes
within one portion of the revised statutes
is not such o misdemeanor as comes
within another portion, and that an
act declared to be criminal by the
verdict of a jury is not criminal act
after all, will end in failure. Tammany will
will make determined effort to do the same.
What course the Mayor may pursue is uncer-
tain, for his ways are puzzle alike to men Of
sense and men of honor. But whatever the
eccentric old gentleman who at present con-
trolls the municipal government may do, the
change in the Police Commission must have
an effect on the situation and necessitate new
schemes and fresh deals among the active
politicians of the city.
