EDUCATIONAL. - Second and Last Day's Session of the Convention of 'School Su- -perlntendents.

At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the Conrention of School Superintendents was called to order by Professor Ulose, in the School Board rooms. There were quite a large number of new arrivals noted. The subject for discussion was "Promotion." Numerous details of methods in use were printed, which were not the same in any two cities. General agreement was reached on the following points: (1) That semi-annual promotions are desirable in all large schools. (:') That final examinations alone should never form, the basis of promotions. (3) That all previous examinations and the teacher's opinion of a pupil's ability and energy should be considered in promoting pupiis bliphtly below the required average. () That full monthly examination in all studies was not desirable. (5) That daily records of a pupil's recftations was not desirable, but rather injurious. (6) That the grade of promotion should be fixed after the examination, not before. A spirited discu.ision on the course of study took place. It was agreed there should be a minimum course of study used in all the school of the State: that the questions of the State lioard, except In physiology and history, were not too difficult for use in examinations far promotion to the High SSchool., and that every High School course should embrace a full review of all the legal branches. In the course of discussion the following figures were given relative to the maximum and minimum salaries of teachers in the different cities: FIRST TEAR TKACHER8 Min. . 400 Max. 450 I ml i Annpoll (rreencastle Viacenues...... .....

Finally a Committee, consisting of Messrs. Tarbell, Study and Charltu, was apixjinted to rejHirt on the subjfct at the next meeting. Messrs. I'.loss, McCrea and Townsend were apoiiitcd as an Kxecutive Confiuittee to call and prepare for the next Convention. After many remarks regarding the good of the present meeting, and that that is sure to be derived from those in the future, the Convention adjourned. Legal Opinions. The Attorney General has given the fol lowing opinions: 1. You ask what rate of Interest nhall be charged uuiler Section V" of the school Uw (1 R. H. upon a sale of real estate by the County Auditor. which had been mortgaged to the school fund and bid in for the State at the salo of the real estate for the amount due ou the raoru,'KO. Said sectluu direct a private sale upon a credit of live years with Interest payable annually, in advance, at the rale of 7 ix-r cent. Section 71 of the school law, as amended iu lsT.l, says: All moneys belonging to the schol fund shall be loaned at a per cent. This iMsjtloii applies only to loans and not to sales of real estate lorletted to the scliool fund, lne two sections relate to dlilerent transactions one to a loan, the other to a sale aud lti no wise conMicL. The unpaid purchase money, then, draws only 7 per cent. Interest. 2. The statute makes no exemption from taxation of bonds in nied by a County to aid In the construction of tcravcl roads, as authorized In the ..tti .if lit?? n tu. Thitiu Kfind. ttAlfifnt tu linll. viduals, are their property, and are as liable to be taxed as any note or niortiraije owuel by them. :i. Sections t;J and 70 of the tax law of 1M require you, at the suine time you assess the individual, to make out certain statistical tables to be signed by the party assessed. You receive 3- er day for the time actually employed in the duties of youroflice, not exceeding sixty days In each year. Making out these 11 -.is for statistical purposes Is one of your duties, and you are uot entitled to any extra allowance for It. 4. You ask if publication of notice of a Sheriff's aale, and other leal notices, in a German newspaper, but iu the Engllth language and set up in 'toOIM''. J V , ft., m 0.4IIII f UlFll.lhlWil Wl au.! notices. The Courts of l'ennsylvanla have decided that "when an act of Assembly provides for notice in a newspaper, it always means an English paper, nnlosa some other be expressly mentioned." (Tyler vs. llowen, 1 Pitts. Kep., 2i"; Kent's Appeal, 2 id.. 4il; same case, 44 Penn. St., 277.) These decisions are applicable to our own statutes, and the conclusion can not be avoided that such a publication as you refer to does not come within the meaning of our statutes. Visitors to the Insane Hospital. The following will prove of inteiest to tLose who visit the Hospital forHhe Insane An Act to rcKulatc vlsltinK the Indiana Hospital lor tue insane, approved January vz, lssz.

This law will be rigidly enforced, and Tlsitors are hereby notified to that effect. Jos. G. Hogers, Superintendent. The Scandal. A Washington special, dated the 2Mh, to the ' Chicago Times says: Nearly all of the political intrigues of the day in "Washington intermingle. The Star Route scandal is beaming a part of the deadlock tight. George C. Gorham is the city editor of the National Kef'Ublican. and lirady owns a controlling interest n lu stock. The paper is each day making bitter insinuations agaluttt General Garrield, aud is apparently on the verry verge of a malicious attack. This paper claims to have in lu podeaion the evidence of numerous scandals connected with the President's name, and it is certain that the evidence will be printed If the President does not respond to the ImpertUve demands oi the Star Service King. yearly every editorial paragraph that Gorhara writes contains i some insinuation or threat against the President. He insinuates that the Pn-sldent akcdforan assessment of the Star Route contractors to help carry Indiana, it also goesfurther, and charyea Samuel J. Tilden Is at the bottom of Brady's downfall, in revenge for the latter's being the principal means of exposing Tilden'a cipher frauds. Gorham charges that Gartield is actiug at Tllden's beck and call. These attacks are made by a man who is the candidate of the Republican JBenators for the highest ofike in their gilt. They can not persist in indorsing Mr. Gorham without indorsing his charges against the' President. Such a raid has been made upon the President, and so tierce are the threats of Brady and Company, that quite a number of politicians are predicting that reform ia the Posto.lice Department is at an end (ill that there will be no more removals. Sixth Auditor McGrew. who audited the star route accounts, ha called upou the President, aud says that he has received personal aasnrances from Geuerai Garield that he would not be disturbed. There is no reason why he should be retained when Chief Clerk Frei.ch has been dismissed. While the Star Service people are drilling In lines, ex-Sena-. tor Dorsey, aping virtue, in an Interview, calls Brady a d d scoundrel. Then Brady'a organ here prints tho following sentence: "Has Dorsey returned from Indiana yet?" And this Ulfatmanlo sentence makes Dorsey come out and swear be never called Brady a scoundrel, although one of the most reputable men in Washington swears that Dorsey did ao declare. The talisman ic sentence that brought Mr. Dorsey to time is supposed to relate to $-'0.'AX) forwarded by the Star Route ' contractors to Mr. Dorsey In Indiana.' These contractors claim that Dorsey only spent oue-nalf of this mm, and has yet unaccounted for the balance, General Garfield', friends aj there is

nothing In the story that General Garfield wrote a letter eaTUnx for an assessment of the Star Koate Contractor. They say, bowever, that there te this fonndatiMi for the story: They say that Brady did write to Garfield, suggesting .such a thing, and that the Preident saw that If he answered the letter favorably the answer would be held over Irün after his election, so he made no answer at all. ... . Attorney General JKcVeagli submitted some of the result of bis researches in the Sur Route lnr vestlgation records to-day to the Cabinet meeting. The Attorney General believes that in these records are good grounds tor indictment and prosecution of the tuen who are guilty of the criminal extravagance shown the Star mail service. Mr. Mac Yearn has not yet concluded his examination. Ills opinion to-day created some discussion lu the Cabinet, but no conciiion was leached. A Washington special of the 30th says: General Brady Is out In another card, which Is printed in to-day's Tribune, and has attracted much attention here. It is a general defense of the management of the Contract Oiliee. He says: "As soon as Gartield was inaugurated I became aware of the pressure upon hira for the position I held, and in order to relieve bim f rem embarrassment 1 caused him to know that at any time it would accommodate him my resignation could be had. There were no charges against me of any nature of which I then knew, and when it was sugxested to me by the Postmaster General that the time had arrived when I could accommodate the President, I promptly made good my assurance. If the Postmaster General had intimated to me that my resignation was asked for in consequence of any disatlecüou with my administration, I should have demanded 'a clear bill' before complying with It. As it was, I supposed I was smoothing the path of the President in making a much desired vacancy, and therefore did not hesitate a moment." He adds that he has since learned that the President did not uk for his resignation, but that it was the work of the Postmaster Geuerai. Of Key he says: Ju ige Key will not thank you for your defense oT him, that he was aimable, wel ux aning and honest, but a mere figure-head. Judge Key informed himself thoroughly concerning all matters for which be was required to take responsibility." . - He cites several instances of expedited routes to show the necessity for it. The Tribune editorially riddles his defense. It fays: "General Brady must address himself (squarely to the charges against him. Ttis he does not attempt to do in his letter, lie foesotf on unimportant side issues, and seeks to distract attention from the serions accusations concerning bis management of the Star Route business. It is of small consequence to the public to know how he left the DepartmeHt, r how many Congressmen recommended the expediting of this or that route, or what Judge Key said or did In a certain case. What concerns the public so tar as General Brady is concerned, is not that he has retired, or been retired to private life, but to bear from him au explanation, if he has any to make, of his conduct in enormously increasing the pay of the contractors on ninety-three Western routes, immediately alwr letting the contracts at moderate rates. He was bound to know the frequency and speed of the service required on these routes before advertising them for bids. He had every facility for knowing this before making the contracts. If there was a public demand for Increased service it would have been felt at the Department when a new letting was to be made for a period of years. Why. then, did he advertise the routes as weekly routes, aud let them as such, and then, a lew days or a few weeks later, make them daily routes? If we cau stretch the possibili ties to cover the supposition that he was honestly mistaken, and became convinced that the daily routes were required, why did he not advertise for bids for tne increased service as the law commanded him to do? "These are the points to which he would do well to address himself U he has any genuine

apology to mate. A Gallant Deed. From an Albany, K. Y., special of the 2Cth, wo have the followiug patrlculars of a very gallant deed by the coachman of the Governor of Wew iora: Michael White, Governor Cornell's coachman, became a hero this afternoon by risking his own life in a successful effort to ave the lif ( drowning child. He was driviiiK the Governor's carriage in tue i ara at tne west end of the city Mrs. Hastini and Mrs. Case, sisters of Mrs. Cor neu. were the occupants. As the carriage was H'uuk KioiiK mc nan uear mf läse snore, and at the extreme western end. the ladles were startled by hoarinKthet.il rill cries of a child, the sounds coming from the direction of the water. Looking iroiu mc wimiow. nvy saw a BiruRKIing Object in the water at the opposite side of the lake, perhaps loo feet away. A second glance told them that a mue cnua. scarcely more than an Infant, was In danger, aud both ladles immediately Irani the coachman, Michael White, to do something to save it. .Michael Is a man of family andja strong fellow, and he needed no urgiua- to undertake the rescue. Flinging off his hat and coat, but forgetting or neglecting to remove his boots and gloves, he piungea in. ine water is very deep, and with his wet clothing and water filled boots, the man was able to make slow progress, the ladies watch ing htm lu au agony of iear lest the child should sink before he could reach it. By great effort Mike succeeded in grasping the little one Just as it waskinking. and although he was thorouirhl v exhausted he managed by shoving the chiid's body ahead of him aud then swimming after it to get it to snore ana clamber out Himself. A crowd having gathered it was soon ascertained that the child was Freddy King, four years oi age. and that his mother lived near bv. Fredd had gone out to play on the lake shore with thrve or lour other children about his own age. Running along the rhore he lost his hat overboard, and, unmindful of danger, waded out to regain it When lie began to cry his companions ran awav. and but for the timely arrival of Michael White mere is good reason to believe that ho would nave been drowned. A Ghnstly Spectacle. A Chicago Tribune jecial of the 28th from San Francisco says: A ghastly sight was presented In the Central Hospital this morning. Propped up in bed sat a pallid-fared Chlnamau with his neck bandaged up and blood ilowlng from his mouth. Close by, ittinff riouhlpil Ii n with lioth fit ou iholp fhiafp were two other Chinamen, also with bandHged necks. The three were found early this moniiinr struggling lor possession oi a pen knife and with their throats gashed in a frightful manner. The following account of the affair was obtained from Chong Foand Tum Tay, proprietors of an under wear store: At about li o'clock last night Ah Sung, another Chinaman, was granted Dermis-l u to sleeo in the store. About dayllttht Chang Fo was awaaencu oy tne unpleasant sensation of a k ii, le traveling across bis throat, aud beheld Ah Sung bending over him intent on murdering him. His struggles awoke bis partner, who, coming to his assistance, waa also attacked by Sung, and cut in the throat. The assassin was overpowered, and was iu turu labtKHl in tne throat with bis own knife. Chung Fo had a gash extending almost from ear to ear, but neither jugular vein nor wind pipe was cut. lie had another ga,h across tne forehead, which severed the temporal artery. Tum Tay was also badly cut In the throat, and Ah Sung, who made the attack, stabbed in both the jugular vein and windpipe; his recovery is doubtful. The two partners claim that Ah Sung's intentions were muruer ana rob very, sung has nothlag to say. Heroic Kflort to Save Ills Wife. The following special, of the 25th, from Manchester, O., to th.e Commercial, relates the heroic efforts of a man to save hi wife from drowning: Mrs. Thompson, wife of ex-Representative J. D. Thompson, of Lewis tJounty, Kentucky, living about four miles from here, while crossing Straight Creek in a small boat, with her husband, about 7 o'clock last evening, when near the center of the creek one of the boards in the bottom of the boat came off, and the boat sank. Mr. Thompson caught his wife and swam with her to the boat, and white she tried to climb into it the boat upset. Again he caught her and swam to the boat. She now being unable to hang on to the boat he held her above the water with one hand, and held on to the boat with the other, and called for help. A man living near came, but being unable to swim could render no assistance. Thompson sent the man for his brother, who lived a half mile distant, Thompson still held his wife above water, and by the time his brother reached them, he had managed to get her near enough the shore where he could touch bottom, but was so exhausted that be couKl not get out of the water, and when they were taken out Mrs. Thompson was dead, and he is lying In a very critical condition, with little hopea of recovery, he being a weakly, consumptive man. The Deadlock. The Washington special of the Chicago Times of May 1 says: It is probable that very little will be done in the Senate to-morrow. There is a very decided weakening on the part of Republican Senators since last Thursday, and it Is believed by some that tne? win notoniy yield tlielr pnoltlon so far as to consent to the holding of executive seasions, but will, in a few days give ud the entire election of Senate officers. This much was intimated by Senator Hale in an interview this morning. lie said there would undoubtedly b; executive ses sions, beglnnlnst, perhaps, to-morrow. The aillerences In the Republican ranks over certain nomi nations will be adjusted and the pending noi itnations all disposed of before the Senate adjourns. As to the election of the Gorhara-Riddleberger ticket, which has been the bone of contention between the two political Idee, Mr. Hale is represented as saying the motion to elect it will not, after a time, be renewed, and the whole äuestion will be allowed to go by e fault, the Senate adjourning sine die as soon aa the executive business is Snisbed Mr. Hale ii also represented as saying that the only thing for the Republicans to do is to back square down from their present position, as It is useless for them to continue the fight any longer. It is evident that tha Democrats are determined not to

rive up their reslstence to the confirmation -of what they are pleased to' term the Mabone barcaln. In their opinion they kave leas to rfek and wore to gain by keeping up the tight, if nntll next December. The opinion Is grwlng aarong the Repnbliean Senators that the ratlflcatton of tne Mahone.com pact s. after all, 4 leas consequence tbaa aa early adjournment of the senate. The evil consequences to the party of an sir-sumsicT's session are hardly compensated by the benefits V be derived from a final settlement of the matter in their favor. Even Coakling it ts said Is les ilposed to prolong the seasion v carry bis point, whether in regard to the Mahone bargain,, so-called, or the consideration of Robertsou's nomination, than he was, knowing the utter nselessncss of such a course. He. of course, wishes to defeat Robertson's nomination, but, if he is not able to do so now. will devote his energies to having it go over to next December, rather than prolong tue seasion simply to prevent action upon it at this time. More Mormons Coming. A special dated Sew York, April 29, says: The steamship Wyoming on yesterday brought

Wash. McLean for Governor. A Cincinnati special of the 2Sth says: The desire of Democratic leaders in different parts of the State to see Washington McLean put forward as a candidate for Governor, which fi'st became generally known to-day, has created mu. h talk. The old wheel-horses of the party in a'.l parts ot the State are said to be favorable to his nomination, some of them enthusiastically, and the rank and file of the party are disposed to receive the suggestion with favor. It is argued that the time has oome to try one of the old-line Democrats again, and Wash McLean is one of the shrewdest and most distinguished of that sort. and. In addition, he is wealthy, and In that respect would be a match for Charley Foster. Their best nan is needed as a standard-bearer. Wash McLean could probably act in that capacity If he u cm res to, aud it would help blm to realize an ambition with which he is rredlted to succeed George II. Pendleton in the United States Senate. Home of bis friends say. however, that it Is doubt fill whether he would accept tha Gubernatorial nomination. Two Brothers Drowned, From Ottawa, Ont, we have the following In a dispatch of the 21th: Two sons of Mr. G-aham, aged eight and ten, were drowned butt evening at St. Ixmla Dam, about one miic from the city. Mr. Graham had given his sons permisnlon in the afternoon to go lishlng, and as they did not return before dark, m requested to do, he went In search of them. On the way out to the dam he met a stranger, who axked him it he was looking for two boys, and when he said he was. the stranger told him that the boys he was looking for were drowned. The search for tho bodies was continued all tilght. and they were found this morning. sile by side, uear the spot were thev first fell Into the water. Last year two sons of Mr. riraham died within a short time of eaca other In England, whither they had been sent to complete their studies, and this last bereavement takes from him bis only re maining cnuureu. Refurnishing- the White House. A Washington dlpatch of the 30th styi: Tho visit made by Mrs. Garfield U New York was the second one she had ever nude to that city. Whilo there she looked ut furniture and carpets for the White House, but gave no orders, as tne appropriation wiii nut become available liefore Julyl. All will b pleuaed to learn that It has been deemed to rehloro to the Parlors the distinctive colors by which they nave always been known, and with which their furubhluir haa onlv partially corresponded since the lat time they were mica up. eiunt years ago. The lied 1'arlor, for Installed, has for a long time been called so by courtesy only, havtnir le of that color than auv other In it. It bits lieen decided Ut replace the expensive carpets woven in a single piece, eiecialiy for each room, with cartKts sold by the yard, which are less costly. It is thought useless extravagance to put the most expensive carpet In room so constantly used as are those at the White House, and by a class, of people who do not take care to brush mud or dust from their Icct before entering the Mansion. A Widow Finds Her Son. A New York special of the 29th says: John Belgier, of Jersey City, was killed at the name oi inchester. lie left a widow, and a son thirteen years old. Mrs. liuirier placed the bovon a farm uear I'lainfleld, and went to work herself in Jersey City.

Thursday Mrs. bugler was found and the letter delivered. It proved to be her own son, and Informed her that he owned a large farm in Missouri, and was weaitny. lie aesirea tnat his mother should Join mm, auu sue nas uecmea to ao so. The Widow of President Lincoln. Special to the Bentinel: SruixoriELD, 111., May 2.

A New York special says: Kx-Henator Dorsey. iu a card printed the Her. aid, says: "In due time 1 shall reply to the criticisms of various correspondents and newspaper respecting my connection with the Inland Mail Service. For the present I need only say that there is not a grain ef truth in any of the allegations that I have been corruptly, unlawfully or dishonestly connected with any contract or other business with the Government. Fred Douglass to Succeed Sheridan. A Washington special says: Geo. A. Sheridan.

A traveler called at nisihtfall at a farmer's house, the owner of which beinc from home. the mother and daughter being alone, refused to lodge the traveler. How far then. paid he, to a house where a preacher can get lodging? "Oh, If you are a preacher, said the old lady, you can stay here." Accordingly he dismounted, lie deposited bis 'addle bags in the house, and led his horse to the stable. Meanwhile the mother and daughter were debating the point as to what kind of a preacher he was. "lie can not be a Presbyterian, said the one, for he Is not dressed wel! enough." "lie is not a Methodist," said the other, "for his coat ia not the rieht cut for a Methodist . If I could find his hymn book, said the daughter, I couid tell what sort of a preacher he Is." and with that she thrust her hand into the saddlebags, and pulling out a I flask of liquor, she exclaimed: "Lai mother I he's a Hard Shelled Baptist."

A FABLE.

The Wolf and the Hares. On CP ntmn - a . "i 711 111111 mere was a certain Jny ofllares. with plenty to eat, lots of J" for re-creation, and perfect harmony Pween them.

The Wolf arpuei and the Hare protested, but the Wolf tinally made a part of the colony believe that they were terribly oppressed and badly steppsd njion, and he set them up to demand more territorr. When the old Hare saw them about to 'depart he said: "You had better let veil enough alone. In seeking to grasp too much you may lose all. We have lived here in peace and plenty for years, even when it was bard for the owner to pay taxes and keep this land out of market Be satisfied that we have all we earned." His words fell uran tie air. The Wolf. too lazy to work, aud too unprincipled to get credit, bad thoroughly excited the Hares, and away they went. "What!" exclaimed tha owner after they had stated their grievance, "are you not satistied with free rent for naif my lashd?" "Hut we are oppresed!" sheuted a Hare. "How? Have you not fharcd my pros perity T' "Yes." "Haven't you been wel fed?" "Yes, but we want our rights." "What are they?" "We want more room." "Hut I can't 8iare ir. Even now I am rivint? vou more than I cm snare." u f i "Well, we must either kave more room or else we shall leave. We will not be oppressed and enslaved." The Farmer could grast no more room, and the Hares at once withdrew from the lands. In a week, after enduring cold and hunger and discomfort, tl.ey returned to the colony. "You are not wanted liere," said the old Hare, as lie met them. "You are too con ceited, too selfish to refpect the rights of others, and we could not live in harmony." The Hajes then went to the Farmer, and he replied: "You were sot satisfied with half, and so you shall hav none; go where you will." The Hares wandered over the country, hungry and dejected, and one day met the Wolf and upbraided him for thejr condi tion. "You go to grass" was his sturdy reply. "You knew me for a lazy, seditious V olf, and if you were fools enough to obey my advice, you must take the consequences. By setting you against the Farmer I set you against eacii other, and now while you re criminate 1 will indulge In rabbit pie. moral: i Rabbit pie is good when you aren't the rabbit. In Search of it Fortune. little Kock Gazette.l An old lady with a tdrange history lias been in Little Kock for two luv, and several persons have become interested in her. She is fully seventj'-five years old, and looks,' with her gray hair, faded and treuibl ing features and bent form, like some old witch returned from purgatory. Her nsme is Mrs. McKetinv, and her home is in Winchester, Ya. The old lady is considerably out of her usual beat, entirely alone, but she has been even further than Little Kock, for the came here from Texas, where, at Houston, is the loadstoao that sent her forth on a pilgrimage, aged as she was. The particulars of Mrs. McKenny's travels, and their cause, form a remarkable combination of circumstance, uch a fiction does not present, in the ltaiJt at Hnuston there are $10o,U00 waiting for a claimant. Such a windfall dot s not usua'Jy remain long in obscurity and without recognition, and in this case the claimant has turned up in the weird shne of old Mrs. McKenny. Her husband's relatives left an estate, which was strangely enough without other heirs than Mr. McKenny. An account has been in the papers of the advertisement for the heirs to this property. Mr. McKinney'i husband heanl of it and prepared to start for Texas but was ta'en sick with the small-pox and died. The old couple had two boys, but they are in feeble health, and not able to travel or do anything else. So the brave old woman packed up a valice and started out alone in quest of a fortune. Started to seek a fortune at seventy five, when most people are preparing to abandon that which they have already obtained. She went clear to Texas'and found there that she would be obliged to prove her claims to tWe proierty. Unused to business forms, suspicious of everybody, and not knowing where to turn, .she managed to make her way this far on her rond to Memphis, where she says she can lind a lawyer that will undertake the case. She said in reply to the question, "What will you do with this' money if you get it?" that there wasn't much left for her in this life, but her dear boys could be made comfortable. Nothing could exceed the touching nature of the old woman's shaky utterances. With one foot in the grave and the other pushing forward toward money, through obstacles that would seem impossible, she forms one of the most remarkable spectacles of endurance and tenacity of purpose that has ever been known. The fortune ia not for her, and the old lady does not want it for herself. Leaning ovtr lier stick, her sunken lips and shaking Jbands make a picture that can not be forgotten by any one who has seen herj esjecially when her history unfolds itself in all its strange contrasts and lights and shadows. Old Mrs. McJwinnv' was so feeblewbcn she arrived in the city that some good Samnritana procured her admission to thellospital. and she ha been for two days trying to gain strength enough ' to continue her journey. Aid wtft be furnished her when in a condition to travel, arid noetic as well as prac tical justice will be preserved if the fortune should drop into her tattered apron.
