On the contrary, does it not show a desire on his part to reduce the expenses of the Government by cutting off every public office that} can be dispensed with? EP >.> Laxe a Buaxcvarv.—The Union ays: Some one having quoted from the New York Tribune that ‘Grant and his pclicy deserves the very highest credit;” that ‘‘General Grant has never beeh beaten, and never will be,” and that “the people of the United States know General Grant,’’ the pregent editor of the Tribune replies that these opinions of the late editor, which he names ‘‘certificates of character,’ were obtained under falge pretenses, just ‘‘as servants uently manag to get what they cal} ‘characters’ at the age of fifteen, when they are sober and industrious,” atid use them ‘“‘at the age of forty-five, when they are inebriate and lazy.”’ . The wit of this reply is feeble and the tone of it. bred of blackguardism. The fact is that the Tribune never ceased to speak well of Grant until Greeley’s vain ambition got between him and the truth and made it to his personal interestto falsify and defame the President. As the express train neared Greeneastle, Ind., a fewdays ago, a little miller flying in the air struck the engineer bo squarely in the ear that it entered his ear and so crazed him that the train had to be stopped and surgical aid procured: paceman ‘Ta., has become insane through exeessive ne laburs.‘edaeation as t ats somes ip are as mon ae ws ee i scovitapipiuininemendcemibinaunaraii bi eeiaibiien ae ews wc Dey bi xa a hn re, ‘to religion: . other, the state of oo indicates ‘the regard which its builders and guardians have for the object to which they have devoted it.

In Nevada county the school buildings compare favorably with other counties in the State. There sre many thatare superior in point of convenience and architectural design.

It is hoped that the work will be continuéd until such accommodations shall be had as will reflect credit upon the educational interest of the people of the county. W. Whispering. There is, perhaps, no question connected with the maintenance of order and discipline in our public schools, upon which there is a greater difference of opinion than upon the question of whispering. Some advocate its entire exclusion, while others, whose experience entitles their opinions to respect, say that itshould be allowed. ‘It is not necessary,” say they, “‘that a death like stillness Should reign in theschool room.” A . little noise may be allowed if it does not interfere with the working of the school. They maintain that two scholars may render each other mutual assistance in the preparation of a lesson if allowed to communicate. To a certain extent these opinions hold good, but there are many objections to be urged against whispering. If allowed at all it is difficult for the teacher to decide how much shall be allowed. Scholars who whisper are apt to get noisy. Noise and play seem to accompany it, and if the teacher does not totally prohibit whispering he disorder, since whispering, its primary cause, is allowed. Again, I do not think scholars materially benefit each other by communicating with regard to their lessons. Aside from the noise and confusion created, it ‘tends to make scholars dependent upon each other. A scholar who has been in the habit of relying upon another foraid in preparing his lesson finally becomes to w great extent, incapable of getting along without this aid, but if all communication is prohibited and each one ‘is made to understand that he has to depend upon himself alone, he does not look for éxternal aid. His mind is awakened to exertion, He can give the lesson his undivided attention bevause it is not taken up by things foreign to it, and here we find one of the principal objections to whispering, namely: cannot reasonably complain of this Miri cating, and he will find that in @ majority of the cases the subject they were talking of has no connéétion whatever with their lessons, but most probably concern some event which happened _ outside, this kind whispering is deleterious because. it distracts their attention. To the question, therefore, “should whispering be entirely abolished?’ we answer, yes. Its banishment secures order and quietness, promotes self dependence and does away with thé possibility of the introduction into the school room.of—matters—notrightfully belonging there. Cees > The Cosmopolitan Ball. The Cosmopolitan Ball, ut Concert Hall, Grass Valley, on Friday night, was a very pleasant affair. Though well attended the immense dimensions.of the room made the party look small, Mr. McDonald, the proprietor ofthe hall, made every effort to render the affair pleasant, Several couples were in attendance from Nevada, though the ‘ride over the road in its rough condition on so dark. night, made the trip quite an undertaking. The supper gotten up by Mrs. McLeod, of the) Hotel de France, was most excellent, the tables being: neatly arranged and supplied with the best in the market. . ‘Ehose who attended the »party spent a most-agreeable evening, and the managers deserve credit for their successful efforts:to make ane occasion pleasant.’ toe Se Preaching Sunday. tes Services in the Congregational Church, every Sunday morning and evening, at the. usual hours of worship.

Pettijohn, situated in the vicinity of the North Star mine, French Lead, was entered by robbers on Wednesday night, says the Grass Valley Union, and robbed of some $300. A lot of sulphurets had been worked up, and M. Pettijohn expected to clean up the settler next morning; but the robbers taking trme by the forelock done the gleaning up themselves, and vamosed with the proceeds. Two Chinamen were arrested on suspicion on Thursday, but on being examined yesterday before Justice Davis, were discharged from custody, there not being proof sufficient to connect them with the robbery. : Sonoon TEacHERS IN BRripcErort Townsuir,—We learn, says the War Club, that Mr. Geo. E, Robinson: formerly teacher of the Grammar school at this place, has received the appointment of teacher in the Sebastopol district. Mr. F. H. Carr, teacher at French Corral last year, takes charge of the Cherokee sehool. W. S. Marshal has charge of the French Corral school. -Miss Allie Newell, we learn, is to take charge of the Birchville school,and the Sweetland school, now in charge of Miss Mobley,, will pass into the hands of its former teacher. In this district Mrs. L. M. Moore has been re-appointed teacher of the Primary school. Owingto the declination of Mr. Lyon, the Grammar department is yet without a teacher.

Tue AxaBaMa Qvuerstion.—If the givings out from Geneva are correct, there is reason to believe the Conference has “agreed upén an award to the United States, on account of the Anglo-rebel. privateers.

THE few sore-headed recruits that have gone over to Greeley may hope to find advancement under his colors, but they will gettired waiting for “the happy hour to come.’ The people have investigated the Administration of General Grant, and have found it just, honest, economical, and loyalin every particular. They know what Grant can do in the future, by what he has done inthe past. They know that a continuation of his wise administration of affairs will bring peace to the South and prosperity to the whole country.Correct.—The. Vallejo Chronicle puts it thus: Dr. Johnson once said that ‘the last refuge of a scoundrel is to call himself a patriot.’’ Nowadays the last resort of a disappointed office seeker is. to call himself a Liberal.

To the question, therefore, “should whispering be entirely abolished?’ we answer, yes. Its banishment secures order and quietness, promotes self dependence and does away with thé possibility of the introduction into the school room.of—matters—notrightfully belonging there. Cees > The Cosmopolitan Ball. The Cosmopolitan Ball, ut Concert Hall, Grass Valley, on Friday night, was a very pleasant affair. Though well attended the immense dimensions.of the room made the party look small, Mr. McDonald, the proprietor ofthe hall, made every effort to render the affair pleasant, Several couples were in attendance from Nevada, though the ‘ride over the road in its rough condition on so dark. night, made the trip quite an undertaking. The supper gotten up by Mrs. McLeod, of the) Hotel de France, was most excellent, the tables being: neatly arranged and supplied with the best in the market. . ‘Ehose who attended the »party spent a most-agreeable evening, and the managers deserve credit for their successful efforts:to make ane occasion pleasant.’ toe Se Preaching Sunday. tes Services in the Congregational Church, every Sunday morning and evening, at the. usual hours of worship.

Pettijohn, situated in the vicinity of the North Star mine, French Lead, was entered by robbers on Wednesday night, says the Grass Valley Union, and robbed of some $300. A lot of sulphurets had been worked up, and M. Pettijohn expected to clean up the settler next morning; but the robbers taking trme by the forelock done the gleaning up themselves, and vamosed with the proceeds. Two Chinamen were arrested on suspicion on Thursday, but on being examined yesterday before Justice Davis, were discharged from custody, there not being proof sufficient to connect them with the robbery. : Sonoon TEacHERS IN BRripcErort Townsuir,—We learn, says the War Club, that Mr. Geo.

In this district Mrs. L. M. Moore has been re-appointed teacher of the Primary school. Owingto the declination of Mr. Lyon, the Grammar department is yet without a teacher.

THE few sore-headed recruits that have gone over to Greeley may hope to find advancement under his colors, but they will gettired waiting for “the happy hour to come.’ The people have investigated the Administration of General Grant, and have found it just, honest, economical, and loyalin every particular. They know what Grant can do in the future, by what he has done inthe past. They know that a continuation of his wise administration of affairs will bring peace to the South and prosperity to the whole country.Correct.—The.
