A School Committee Cor nered. lUichmomi Gazette. J At an examination of a public school on Staten Island, the teacher, justly proud of his scholars, addressing tho audience, said : “ Lculiua nn'i gentlemen, to prove tliat the boys nre not crammed for tho occasion. I will direct ono of tboin to open tho arithme tic at random und road out tlm lirst problem. Then I shall invito a gentleman out of tho audience to work out tho sum on tho board, und to commit intentional errors, whicii, yon will observe, tho boys will instantly de tect. John Hm ith, open tho book and reud tho first question!" Tho scholar obeyod and road out: “ Add flftoon sixteenths und nine elevenths.” Tho toucher turned to tho audienco and said: "Now, Supervisor --------, will you stop to tho blackboard and work it out?” Tlio supervisor thou hesitated, then said, "Certainly,” and advanced a step but paus ed and asked tho toachor, “ is it fair to put tho childron to so difficult a problem?” " Oh, never fear,” replied the toachor, “ they will be oquul to it.” “ Very well,” said the supervisor, “ go on.” Tlio boy be gun tlui question, “ Add fifteen sixteenth—”. " No, no I” said thb supervisor, “ I will not bo a party to overtaxing tho children's brains. I havo conscientious scruples against it. This forcing system is ruining tho rising generation 1 ” and ho gavo back tho chalk and loft tho room. ~ “ Well Judgo Castloton, will you favor us?’’ asked tho teaehor, tendering the chalk. “ I would do so with pleasure,” replied tho judgo, but 1 have a caso comiug ou iu my court in a minute or two,” and he left. " Assessor Middleton, wo must fall back on you ” said tlio teaehor, smiling. ",Oh,” said tho assessor, I pass—I mean I doclino in fav or of Collector X.” “ Woll that will do,” re plied tho toachor; “ Air. Collector will you favor us !" “ I would certainly--that is—of courso,’> replied tho collector, “ but—uhuml I think it should bo referred to a commit—Why, bless mol I’il novel' catch it. Good bye? Homo oth er timo!” And ho left. "I know Justice Southfield will not refuse!” suid tho teacher, and tho justice stepped promptly up to tho blackboard amidst a round of appl.auso from tho audience. The scholar a^jiiu began to road tho sum, “Add flftoen-sixtoonth!—” A dozen hands Wont up os tho judgo mado tho first figures. “Well what is it?” oskod the teacher. “He's got tho denominator oil top of tho lino!” cried the boys in chorus. “Very good, boys, vory good; 1 soe you nro attontive;” said tho judgo, ns ho rubbed out tho figures, turuud rod, and bogan again, but wus interrupted by the class calling out: “Now he’s got tho numerator and denom inator under tho Hue!” “Aha! you young rogues, You’re sharp, I see!” said thu judge, jocosely, uud aguiu commenced. That ain’t a fraction at all! It’s ono thou sand five hundred uiul sixteen!” wus tho cry that huilod tho judge’s new combination of figures. “ Really, Mr. Teacher,” ejaculated tho judgo, “ I must compimont you on tho won derful proficiency of your scholars in algebra! Xwon’t tire their pationeo any more.” “ Oh, go on,” said tho toachor, and again tiie judgo wrote somo figures in off-liuud manner. "Tliut ain't a faction! It’s six thousuud ouo hundred and fifty-one!” yolled tlio boys. " Air Teaehor.” said tho judgo, “ it would bo ungenerous on my purt, und imply an un worthy suspicion as to your efficiency, to put thoso extraordinarily bright children to additional tests; I would not—I could—Oh ! oxouse mo I There’s Brown! I have inijxirtunt buisnosH witli him I Sheriff ! 1 wunt to seo you,” and ho loft. Homo days aftorwurds a boy was brought beforo Justice Southfield for throwing stones ln tho street. “ John ,” said tho judge stern ly “woro you tlio boy tbut laughed in school ou Monday, whilo I was Working that prob lem?” Yes, sir 1” waa tlio reply. John got thirty days.— Tho City of Roses. 1 don't believe there is uny region on earth .where rosos grow in such abundance, vari- oty, beauty aud sweetness as thoy do in this (Now Orleans) country. A Mississippi gentleman, to whom I have been indebted for information on various subjects, tolls ino that thoro is growing and in bloom at bis homo this rubmont a Lumarquo rose vino SO foot long. Tho stem is eight inches through in the thickest part, lt is twined around u vornndu, und its gorgeous clusters of creum- tlntod rosos aro splendid to behold. At Now Orleuus tho Marshal Noil roses causo tho Northerner to storo in speechless wuuder. I saw oue of tho plunts that must have boon fifty foot loug. I havo soon vines of tho sumo rose that long in tho North, but they wore acrnggy uud leun-lookiug nnd in tho florists’ groonhousoH. At Now Orleans thoy run wild and revol liko a midsummer night’s dream. Tho blossoms grow iu georgoous clusters of hulf a dozen or moro, and the flow ers are so luigo tliat they would moro than cover the top of u large-sized coffee cup. A singlo one of tho pale gold beauties will fill a room with perfume. Tbey ure as plenty down horq us “ whits' top” in u Northern luoadow. Aud they sell for ono dollar a bad up North I In some of tho private citizens’ yards in Now Orleans there are as many as u hundred different kinds of roses all iu bloom at once. They do uot require protection from cold ut uuy timo cither. They all stand out doors in tho open ground, mul many varieties bloom more or less all tho winter through. The rose is a favorite flower at New Orleans. At the Jockey Club races wo saw dozens ol hand somely dressed ladies witli exquisite bunches of rosebuds ut their belts and elsowhore .in thoir dress — the swoet, lovely flower that na ture made; none of your abominable arti ficial things. Tlie rose the French inhabitants of Now Orleans are fondest of for decorations is call od tho “Gold of Ophir.” Northern florists have it, but it is uot Common. The bud is especially prized for its beauty, lt is a small ish rose, of a very pale pink, shading off to ward the heart in deep, rich color. Faint streaks of crimson touch tho outer petals. It is ouo of the loveliest roses 1 ever saw.

It used to bo said of Pilgrim, who was a resident of Clinton county, Mich., for thirty yoars that ho nover puid a debt in his life, nnd further, that no ono over found a way to make him. Tho nearest ho ovor camo to such a climax was whon a neighbor found bim mired in a swamp in tho woods, two milos from any houso. Pilgrim was over his knees nnd slowly going down, whon ac cidentally discovered, und the situation offer ed tho neighbor just tho chance ho wanted. Taking a seat on u log near by, ho said: Pilgrim, you owo mo $16.” “ It’s outlawed,” was tho reply. “1 can’t help that. It was a just debt and you’ve got to pay it or PU leave you to sink out of sight.” 1 never pay outlawed debts,” was the grim reply. “ Then down you go,” said tho creditor, os ho started away. Of course ho did not moan to leuvo old Pilgrim to die, but ho wanted to give him a scare. Ho thoroforo hid in the bushoB where ho could sec him, and during tho two hours lio was thoro tho debtor went dowu until on ly head and shoulders were ubovo tho swamp. It wanted only an hour to sundown whou tho creditor came forward and said; “ Pilgrim you’re in a bad fix.” “ Yes rather bad.” “ Unless you have help you’ll bo out of sight in two hours.” “ Looks thut way to mo, too” “ Now then, will you pay that debt?” “ It’s outlawed.” “ I can’t help that, you owe mo $16. Will you pay it if I’ll help you out ?” Pilgrim glanced around at tho darkening forest, uud soerucd to fully realize ilis situa tion; but after a moment’s reflection lie cull ed out: “ I’ll toll you what PU do. i’ll wait till I go down to my chin, and then if no ono else happens along, or tho boys do not como this way aftor tho cows, I’ll give you my note for $10. puyablo in a yoar. How’s that?” “ I’ll let you go down, and bo hanged to you!” roared tho creditor us ho moved away. “ Hold on! hold on!” callod Pilgrim, I for got to say that tho note must ho without in terest; aud you must agree not to sue on it.” He was uctuully down to his chiu whon tho neighbor returned with help, but he was not In a debt-paying mood. On tho contra ry, When ho found that his boots had boon loftiu tho mire behind him, he growled out: 1 don’t say us I shall Aio any of you for tho valuo of them boots, I won’t agree not to bring iu tho claim if wo over make a horse- trade.” Faraday’s Lost Cup. Air. Pentecost, tho ovaugolist, replying to tho charge of foUy mado against thoso who believe that God will raise the dead, gave this bouutiful illustration; “ Thero is a story told of a workman of tho groat chemist Far aday. One day ho knocked into a j ar of acid a little silver cup. It disappeared, was eat en up by tho acid, and could not be found. The question came up whether it could ovor bo found. Ono said ho could find it, another said it wus hold in solution and them was no possibility of finding it The groat chem ist came in, and put some chemical into tho jar, and in a moment every particle of tho silver was precipitated to tho bottom. He lifted it out a shapeless mass, sent It to tho silversmith, and the cup was restored.

Staten Island, the teacher, justly proud of his scholars, addressing tho audience, said : “ Lculiua nn'i gentlemen, to prove tliat the boys nre not crammed for tho occasion. I will direct ono of tboin to open tho arithme­tic a t random und road out tlm lirst problem. Then I shall invito a gentleman out of tho audience to work out tho sum on tho board, und to commit intentional errors, whicii, yon will observe, tho boys will instantly de­tect. John Hm ith, open tho book and reud tho first question!"

Tho scholar obeyod and road out: “ Addflftoon sixteenths und nine elevenths.”

Tho toucher turned to tho audienco andsaid: "N ow , Supervisor --------, will youstop to tho blackboard and work it out?”

Tlio supervisor thou hesitated, then said, "C ertain ly ,” and advanced a step but paus­ed and asked tho toachor, “ is it fair to put tho childron to so difficult a problem?”

" Oh, never fear,” replied the toachor, “ they will be oquul to it.” “ Very well,” said the supervisor, “ go on.” Tlio boy be­gun tlui question, “ Add fifteen sixteenth—”.

" No, no I” said thb supervisor, “ I will not bo a party to overtaxing tho children's brains. I havo conscientious scruples against it. This forcing system is ruining tho rising generation 1” and ho gavo back tho chalk and loft tho room.~ “ Well Judgo Castloton, will you favor us?’’ asked tho teaehor, tendering the chalk. “ I would do so with pleasure,” replied tho judgo, but 1 have a caso comiug ou iu my court in a minute or two,” and he left.

" Assessor Middleton, wo must fall back on you ” said tlio teaehor, smiling. ",Oh,” said tho assessor, I pass—I mean I doclino in fav­or of Collector X .” “ Woll that will do,” re­plied tho toachor; “ Air. Collector will you favor u s!"

“ I would certain ly--that is—of courso,’> replied tho collector, “ but—uhuml I think it should bo referred to a commit—Why, bless mol I’il novel' catch it. Good bye? Homo o th ­er timo!” And ho left.

"I know Justice Southfield will not refuse!” suid tho teacher, and tho justice stepped prom ptly up to tho blackboard amidst a round of appl.auso from tho audience. The scholar a^jiiu began to road tho sum, “Add flf toen-sixtoonth!—”

A dozen hands Wont up os tho judgo mado tho first figures.

“Well w hat is it?” oskod the teacher.“He's got tho denominator oil top of tho

lino!” cried the boys in chorus.“ Very good, boys, vory good; 1 soe you

nro attontive;” said tho judgo, ns ho rubbed out tho figures, turuud rod, and bogan again, but wus interrupted by the class calling out:

“ Now he’s got tho numerator and denom­inator under tho Hue!”

“Aha! you young rogues, You’re sharp,I see!” said thu judge, jocosely, uud aguiu commenced.

That ain’t a fraction a t all! I t’s ono thou­sand five hundred uiul sixteen!” wus tho cry th a t huilod tho judge’s new combination of figures.

“ Really, Mr. Teacher,” ejaculated tho judgo, “ I must compimont you on tho won­derful proficiency of your scholars in algebra! X won’t tire their pationeo any more.”

“ Oh, go on,” said tho toachor, and again tiie judgo wrote somo figures in off-liuud m anner.

"T liut a in 't a faction! I t’s six thousuud ouo hundred and fifty-one!” yolled tlio boys.

" Air Teaehor.” said tho judgo, “ it would bo ungenerous on my purt, und imply an un ­worthy suspicion as to your efficiency, to put thoso extraordinarily bright children to additional tests; I would not—I could—Oh ! oxouse mo I There’s Brown! I have inijxirtunt buisnosH witli him I Sheriff ! 1 wunt to seo you,” and ho loft.

Homo days aftorwurds a boy was brought beforo Justice Southfield for throwing stones ln tho street. “ John ,” said tho judge stern­ly “woro you tlio boy tbut laughed in school ou Monday, whilo I was Working tha t prob­lem?” Yes, sir 1 ” waa tlio reply. John got th irty days.—

1 don 't believe there is uny region on earth .where rosos grow in such abundance, vari- oty, beauty aud sweetness as thoy do in this (Now Orleans) country. A Mississippi gentleman, to whom I have been indebted for information on various subjects, tolls ino th a t thoro is growing and in bloom a t bis homo this rubmont a Lumarquo rose vino SO foot long. Tho stem is eight inches through in the thickest part, l t is twined around u vornndu, und its gorgeous clusters of creum- tlntod rosos aro splendid to behold. A t Now Orleuus tho Marshal Noil roses causo tho Northerner to storo in speechless wuuder. I saw oue of tho plunts that must have boon fifty foot loug. I havo soon vines of tho sumo rose th a t long in tho North, but they wore acrnggy uud leun-lookiug nnd in tho florists’ groonhousoH. A t Now Orleans thoy run wild and revol liko a midsummer night’s dream. Tho blossoms grow iu georgoous clusters of hulf a dozen or moro, and the flow­ers are so luigo tliat they would moro than cover the top of u large-sized coffee cup. A singlo one of tho pale gold beauties will fill a room w ith perfume. Tbey ure as plenty down horq us “ whits' top” in u Northern luoadow. A ud they sell for ono dollar a bad up North I

In some of tho private citizens’ yards in Now Orleans there are as many as u hundred different kinds of roses all iu bloom a t once. They do uot require protection from cold ut uuy timo cither. They all stand out doors in tho open ground, mul m any varieties bloom more or less all tho w inter through. The rose is a favorite flower a t New Orleans. A t the Jockey Club races wo saw dozens ol hand­somely dressed ladies w itli exquisite bunches of rosebuds ut their belts and elsowhore .in thoir dress —the swoet, lovely flower that na­ture made; none of your abominable arti­ficial things.

Tlie rose the French inhabitants of Now Orleans are fondest of for decorations is call­od tho “Gold of O phir.” Northern florists have it, but it is uot Common. The bud is especially prized for its beauty, l t is a small­ish rose, of a very pale pink, shading off to­ward the heart in deep, rich color. Faint streaks of crimson touch tho outer petals. I t is ouo of the loveliest roses 1 ever saw.

H o w P ilg r im W e a k e n e d .It used to bo said of Pilgrim, who was a

resident of Clinton county, Mich., for th irty yoars that ho nover puid a debt in his life, nnd further, th a t no ono over found a way to make him. Tho nearest ho ovor camo to such a climax was whon a neighbor found bim mired in a swamp in tho woods, two milos from any houso. Pilgrim was over his knees nnd slowly going down, whon ac­cidentally discovered, und the situation offer­ed tho neighbor just tho chance ho wanted. Taking a seat on u log near by, ho said:

Pilgrim, you owo mo $16.”“ I t’s outlawed,” was tho reply.“ 1 can’t help that. I t was a just debt and

you’ve got to pay it or PU leave you to sink out of sight.”

“ 1 never pay outlawed debts,” was the grim reply.

“ Then down you go,” said tho creditor, os ho started away.

Of course ho did not moan to leuvo old Pilgrim to die, but ho wanted to give him a scare. Ho thoroforo hid in the bushoB where ho could sec him, and during tho two hours lio was thoro tho debtor went dowu until on­ly head and shoulders were ubovo tho swamp. I t wanted only an hour to sundown whou tho creditor came forward and said;

“ Pilgrim you’re in a bad fix.”“ Yes rather bad.”“ Unless you have help you’ll bo out of

sight in two hours.”“ Looks thut way to mo, too”“ Now then, will you pay that debt?”“ I t ’s outlawed.”“ I can’t help that, you owe mo $16. Will

you pay it if I ’ll help you out ?”Pilgrim glanced around at tho darkening

forest, uud soerucd to fully realize ilis situa­tion; but after a moment’s reflection lie cull­ed out:

“ I’ll toll you w hat PU do. i ’ll wait till I go down to my chin, and then if no ono else happens along, or tho boys do not como this way aftor tho cows, I’ll give you my note for $10. puyablo in a yoar. How’s that?”

“ I’ll let you go down, and bo hanged to you!” roared tho creditor us ho moved away.

“ Hold on! hold on!” callod Pilgrim, I for­got to say th a t tho note must ho without in­terest; aud you must agree not to sue on it.”

He was uctuully down to his chiu whon tho neighbor returned w ith help, but he was not In a debt-paying mood. On tho contra­ry, When ho found th a t his boots had boon loftiu tho mire behind him, he growled out:

“ 1 don’t say us I shall Aio any of you for tho valuo of them boots, I won’t agree not to bring iu tho claim if wo over make a horse- trade.”

F a r a d a y ’s L o s t C u p .Air. Pentecost, tho ovaugolist, replying to

tho charge of foUy mado against thoso who believe that God will raise the dead, gave thisbouutiful illustration; “ Thero is a story told of a workman of tho groat chemist Far­aday. One day ho knocked into a j a r of acid a little silver cup. It disappeared, was ea t­en up by tho acid, and could not be found. The question came up whether it could ovor bo found. Ono said ho could find it, another said it wus hold in solution and them was no possibility of finding i t The groat chem­ist came in, and put some chemical into tho jar, and in a moment every particle of tho silver was precipitated to tho bottom. He lifted it out a shapeless mass, sent It to tho silversmith, and the cup was restored. If Faraday could precipitute tha t silver nnd restore tha t cup, I believe God can restore my sleeping nnd scattered dust.
