Some time ago the Flushiog, L.I., board of education determined to admit colored children to the high echool, and a number took advantage of the decision and entered. This caufed the withdrawal of while children who have not yet returned, and whese parents have petitioned the board to have the colored pupils withdrawn and educated separately.

They are having a miniature war in Grant county, Dakota, on the removal of the county Mat. Big Stone Cily waa the capital, but 300 voters of Millbank went over aad voted a change to their town, taking forcible possession of part of the records and removing them. Big Stone still baa a portion of the reoorda and offioee, and about 300 inhabitants are on the. ground day and night, prepared to defeat any further removal.

Washington, this state, seems to be in a bad way, too much democracy beiDg the cause. Laat Monday night the mayor handed in his resignation at the request of tho council, and it was promptly accepted. The taxes are heavy, and there are no visible improvements to show for it, and the city was recently refused a small loan to pay gas bills. All parties are very much dissatisfied, and there will be a change when another election occurs.

The names of those connected with the Peruvian Company will soon be furnished to congresa by the at ate department. As soon as the complete correspondence is submitted, Senator Blair will make his explanation, which is, in substance, that when he accepted employment by the company he had no idea that its afiair* would aver appear in congress, and was so aasured by a number of prominent officiala whom he consulted in regard to the matter.

The London correspondent of the New York Tribune, Mr. Smalley, thus writes of Mrs. Langtry'a first appearancs as Blanche Hays in "Ours:"

Tli? result of the evening was to strengthen the general opinion of a month ago, that a sure aud probably successful profestknal future lUs before the debutante. Mis. Lang try is siill judged, and ought to be judged, as a woman who stands at the threshold of a novel career. But she has taken the first step successfully. She has natural advantages which even professional jealousy, which is aioused by them, does not deny. She has shown clearly in thh early stagthe ability and disposition to make a right use of them. She has already found tho secret of making her beauty tell on the stage. Even the impression of its incomparable parity Is not lost. Her memory it never at fault. She has intelligence she has that indescribable quality called charm. What is wanting in her is experience.

The tones of her fine voice are not always sure her consciousness that she is acting is often too evident She does not forget herself and remember only her assumed character, and there are other faulta which any tyro in criticism can point out. All that it to be taken for granted. For the rest, I can only repeat that Mrs. Langtry has give* all the promise of real dramatic exoefiesce in the future which she or her ttiesOi oeold hope fox at the start

ASEBICAX SHIPPING.

The treasury department has jtst issued the asBiial report of the chief of the bureau of statistics on the foreign commerce of the United States for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1881. The report contains some valuable information in relation to our shipping interests, which is very readable at a time when the question of subsidies to steamship lines is being forced upen congress by eastern ship builder*.

The tonnage of vessels built last year was 280,459 tons, against 157,409 tons built during the previous year. The increase was sot, however, sufficient to offset the reduction of tonnage incident to the dscay of vessels, and the losses by caeualties, as is shown by the fact that on the 30th of June, 1881, the total toanage cf the country was 4,057,734 tons against 4,068,035 tons at the clese ot the preceding fiscal year.

The tonnage employed in the foreign trade of tho Cnited States decreased from 1,314,402 tons in 1880 to 1,297,035 tons in 1881, and the tonnage employed in the coastwise or home trade of the United States, embracing tonnage employed between American ports on the ssa-board, on the Mississippi river and its tributaries, and on the great lakes, increased from 2,637,686 tons in 1880 to 2,646,011 tons in 1881.

It is an unsatisfactory fact that while the foreign commerce of this country has increased about one hundred per cent, since 1866, it itl being carried principally in vessels of foreign nationality. The tonnage of foreign vessels entered at ports of the United States increased from 3,117,034 tons in 1856 ta 12,711,892 tons in 1881, an incresse of 308 per cent., whereas the American toaage entered from foreign ports increased from 1,891,453 tons in 1856 to 2,010,149 tons in 1881, an increase of only 54 per cent.

Of the 12,711,392 tons of foreign tonnage entered at onr port laat year, the British had 8,457,797 tons, Germany 1,172,563 toes, Norway and Sweden 1,035,078 tons, Italy 658,861 tons, France 804,800 ton?, Spain 277,163 tons and all other nationalities 805,121 tons.

The report attributes the continued decline of American tonnsge employed in foreign c'ommerce to various causes. No other branch of American labor is in so great a degree exposed to the competition of foreign enterprise. While other enterprises are protected this one has not, nor can it in the nature of things have protection. The report concludes "From the beginning of the preseat century until the year 1850, American ships entered Buccfssfuliy into competition with the ships of other nations, and seemed to be rspidly gaining ascendency upon the ocean by virtue of their superior seaworthiness and sailing qualities, and the skill with which they were managed by American seamen and Amerioan shipowners and merchants. But the growth of our merchant marine has, within the last thirty years, been checked by several intervening eircumstances, among which may be mentioned the introduction of steam navigation, and of iron as a ship-building material, also the terious losses sustained by our merchant navy duiing the late war.

Perhaps, however, the relative decadence of the shipping interests of the United States, is, more than to any other cause, attributable Indirectly to the opening up to commerce and industry of that vast and highly productive section of the country situated west of the Alleghany moantainn. The development of the enormous possibilities of the section referred to, as well as of the whole country, has presented much greater attractions to capital and enterprise than have the building of vessels and their employment in international commerce. Foreign capital and foreign enterprise have, however, been attracted to the apparently leu promising fisld ef enterprise upon the ocean.

But in this country a period of comparative repose, and of slower but more substantial internal development appears to be lucceeding the period of rapid and excited growth under the stimulus of the spirit of speculation. This is favorable to the return of capital and enterprise te maritime pursuits.

A prosperous merchant marine not only presents a large field for the employment of capital and labor, but It is also a most valuable source of recruitment for the military navy.

The ascendency of Great Britain in the international carrying trade of the world upon the ocean is at the present time more marked than at any previous period. Of the total tonnage of foreign vessels entered at seaports of the United States during the last fisoal year, amounting to 12,711,392 tons, 8,456,797 tons, or 66.5 per cent., was British tonnage.

In all other parts of the globe the ascendency of tho British merchant marine is equally marked. Especially is this the case with respect to steam vessels. At the present time British steamer lines to a great extent control the principal trade currents upon the ocean."

Speaking of the sale of the effects of the late Russian minister the Washington correspondent of the New York World sayt:

The crooked conduct of the Russian Minister is pretty well known, but there is a very strong suspicion now that what was called the auction of his household goods was really sn auction of some enterprising New York furniture dealer, for which the plenipotentiary received a pour bolre. The bouse was very handsome and situated in Diplomatic Row, on Connecticut avenue, but it was notorlouUy destitute of comfort As the auction day approached the house began mysteriously to fill up with elegant and luxurious things. Particularly was there a perfect harvest of the finest bevel edged mirrors, in quantities sufficient to have hung the kitchen and servants' rooms with beveled glass. Thtre were dozens of drawing room curtains sold: enough clocks to run a clockmaker'a establishment, and at least five times as much furniture was piled in the lower story as could have been properly arranged.

Mr. Bartholomei displayed his household goods with the air and manner of a Jew peddler, while Mme. Bartholomei screamed instructions over the balustrades. Everybody went to the sale, and everybody laughed at the grotesque performance.

It is announced that Mr. Blain has determined to make direct war on the president on his record as secretary of state. There la probably no truth In the statement.

XTXICIPAL I5D&BTBDKKSS.

The stRte bureau of etatistics has compiled from an sdvacce sheet of the census bureau's report, a very interesting table of the municipal indebtedness of the principal cities of Indiana, from which we take tho following:

Pop. Net debt

Evansvills ............. —. 2«,S80 11,884,000 Fort Wayne 2B.S80 SiC.SOO Indianapolis 78.05# 1,914 800 JefTersocville...*.. 6 857 2*0,880 Lafayette. 14,860 100,000 a 1 1 1 8 4 6 6 2 7 6 Madison. 8,946 282,051 New Albany 16,428 857,48} Richmond 12,742 167.0*'0 South Bend 18,280 86,975 Terre Hante. 26.012 2*7,224 Vincennes 7,680 82,000

Evansville leads the list with aper capita of $61.76. The next highest per capita is Logansport, followed in the order named by Fort Wayne, Madison, Jeffersonville. Indianapolir, South Bend, New Albany, Lafayette, Richmond, Vincennes and Terre Hante. This city stands lowest on the list, the per capita being $10.26.

The total bonded debt of the- twelve cities named is $6,958,700 floating debt, $315,948 total debt, $7,274,648 sinking fund, $98,890 net debt, $7,175,758 per capita, $28.50 total receipts, $2,568,753 total expenditures, $1,969,940.

Indianapolis has the largest revenue, followed by Fort Wayne, Lafayette, Terre Haute, New Albany, Logansport, Jeffersonville, Madison, Richmond, South Bend snd Vincennes respectively.

The following is the order of expenditures:. Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, New Albany, Lafsyetto, Terre Ilsute, Logansport, Jeffersonville, Madison, Richmond, South Bend end Vincennes.

Jeffersonville, South Bend and Terre Haute are the only cities in the list provided with sinking funds.

An analysis of the figures shows that all things considered our city is to-day in a better financial condition than any other cily in the state, and that it is steadily improving. The improvements made here laet year exceeded those of several years previous combined. Business of all kinds is flourishing. We have the handsomest city in the state, and business men snd manufacturers in search of a location wosld do well to stop here and carefully consider our advantages.

A London dispatch announces the death yesterday cf Major Sir William Palluer, the inventor of the projectiles which bear hia namo.

The Frankfort Banner handles without gloves the Clinton County Commissioners for awarding the new Court House contract to Mr. Bunting. of Indiauapolis, and the building contrast to Forman Pierce, also of Indianapolis. The Banner plainly intimates that the public interests have been trifled with, and that the entire transaction rests on a political basis, the Commissioners, architect and contractor* all being Democrats.

She said she went to Mrs. Taylor's Friday evening, and Mrs. Taylor used certain instruments. that on her way home she was taken with a chill from which she could not recover. On Sunday morning Deputy 8heriff Reissing, being apprised of the circumstance*, called for Coroner Roberts, who held an inquest.

Washington. A POSTAL HARDSHIP.

WASHINGTON, February 5.—Under existing treaties, matter printed in Canada comes into this country for about one cent a pound, while tbe same class of matter mailed in the United States pays one cent on every two ounces. Many publishers complain of this condition, and the United States postal authorities propose, in effect, that any second class mail matter mailed in Canada, and purporting to ba printed in tbe United States, or circulated in behalf of any persons er firms doing business in tbe United Statep, shall pay tho full.United States postage rate. Canada consents to adopt any regulation calculated to remedy the evil.

KOBESON'B BILL.

Bobeson's mail steamship bill authorizes the Postmaster General to contract for and establish a weekly mail steamship service between Fort Pond Bay, L. I., and Milford Haven, Wales, by mems of a line of first-class steamships, and provides for vessels of iron or steel, capable of making eighteen miles per hour, and wholly of American construction.

We shall, as fast as possible, ring out in this country, in the highest style of artistic work, evei'y famous art work of the Old World, and at prices which will enable the people of moderate means to adorn their homes with the choicest art works.

As an introductory example of the quality and style of work which will be produced by us, we will take pleasure in forwarding to any applicant- a Complimentary Copy Free of the first edition of art work produced by us In America.

Visitors to the Dore Gallery, London, will remember the superb painting, occupying nearly an entire side of the splendid gallery, entitled

Of this msgnificent painting—the mest important of Dore's works—a pure line steel engraving has just been completed in England. This engraving is only sold by subscription, and the price is £6, or about $30. It is absolutely impossible to secure a copy at a less price, except through this offer. The engraving represents the Savior as he is having the Prntorium, after being condemned to crucifiction. He is descending the steps leading from the judgment court. At the foot of the steps •lands two burly executioners, in charge of the cross which the Savior is to bear. On the right are the followers and believers of Christ,, with despair in their every look, while the mother of oor Lord is an agonized and fainting attend int. In the rear and on the left are the judges and scoffers, surrounding Pontius Pilate, who are looking with fierce complacency on their work. The central figure is that of Christ, aa he uncomplainingly descends the steps to tske up the cross and bear it to he scene of bis crucifixion.

The work in this portion of the engraving is more perfect and beautiful than we had supposed could ever bo executed. The expressions of the faces, the grouping of the Semes'and the careful attention to detail in the drapery and accessories of the picture, sre all carried out in perfection and with consummate skill. There is a very large number of figures in the work, and all are-depicted with life-like faithfulness. It stands today unquestionably The Finest and Most Talnable

Engraving in the World. The engraving of the plates cost upward of $20,000, and no copies from it are sold at a less price than $30, which, with duties and shipping added, brings the cost to American purchasers t3 about $40 per cop*.

This splendid work iB the first of a series of the prominent art works of Europe, which the AMIRICAI^ ART BZCHASOB will produce in America, simultaneous with their production in the Old World, and at prices which will enable the multitude to purchase.

Thia first work, "Christ Leaving the Pratorium," will be used as an introductory advertisement, and a limited number will be furnished

FREE TO ALL APPLICANTS! It is a correct reproduction of the English plate, which sells at $30 per copy, many of which have been purchased by a number of Americans at that price, who subscribed for it through the English house. The American edition will be furnished in the same size and with the same attention to perfect work aa characterises the $30 copies.

The object of this extraordinary offer is to bring our enterprise into immediate recognition in this country, so tlyit when we announce future works the public will have had an opportunity toj udge of the quality and beauty of the art work produced by the American Art Exchange.

Until the first edition is exhausted, we will ship a perfect copy of the engraving, "Christ Leaving the Prcstorium, to any applicant. The engraving (which is a very large one) will be put up in a heavy tube, and sent by mail. The only charge will be the cost of tubing and postage, which will be 10 three-cent postage stamps. It was at first thought 20 cents would be sufficient for this charge, but from frequent breaking of the tubes in the mail bags It was decided to increase the thickness and strength of the tubes (thus making them heavier^ so that they could not be broken except in case of an accident. Tbis necessitated an increase of charges for thin purpose to 80 cents, or 10 three-cent stamps.

On receipt of application we will immediately forward this superb engraving to any address in tbe United States, all charges prepaid, when ten three-cent stamps are enclosed in letter to cover postage and tube. At any time within one vear we will take b?ck the engraving and allow a credit of $3 for it in payment for any works issued by us.
