MASY complaints are made of ilie new telephone company. Since making the purchase, they have taken little, if any, notice of the xchange, just letting things TUN ai they will. The only step taken, was to dismiss the janitor, without ap'pointing a new one his place.

Mr. Young, the Old Folks' insurance ipanipulator, says he is "skinning lots of cats." There.is no question that if he is doing any business at all it is a "skinning" business, but tbe indications are hopeful that the claws ot this monstrous wild cat will be cut before long, and then Mr. Young will have to go to bonest work or hunt up some new confidence scheme to work tor a livelihood. Ifhe chooses the former of course be will have to act as an apprentice for a few years, and can't expect to make much, but then he will escape all the hazards to which the subornation of forgery and the otherwise disreputable means ofhis present business render]him liable. In Ohio, Where the Standard Life has its home office and is better known than here, active measures are being taken to suppress it. Note the following from the Cincinnati Commercial CHARGES AOAIKST AN INSC1UNCE CON

CERN,

Colonel Moore, State Commissioner of Insurance, thia afternoon filed charges with Attorney General 9 ash against the Standard .Life Association of America, office at Mansfield, charging said company with doing a graveyard business. The attorney General at once commenced the propei\proceedinga in the Supreme Court, requiring the Association .to show cause why they should not be restrained from doing business in this State. Among tbe charges are the following:

It issues certificates of membership upon application, not signed by tbe persons who are purpoi ted to 1« made members thereby, and without the knowledge of such persons.

It has issued, and ^continues to issue, certificates of membership to very aged and feeble parsons, no matter what their infirmities may be and without regard to their prospect of continued life. [Those who have insured insurable subjects will appreciate tbe important of this fact, for they cannot fail to see that it is impossible to continue payment on sucb numerous losses as these subjects will subject them to.]

It baa failed andjitill fails to submit the minutes of the meetings of its Board of Directors to the duly-appointed Examiners of the Superintendent of Insur. ance for their examination, though requested so to do.

It is not depositing all of its money witn its Treasurer. It is delaying the approvals of proof of death on file in its office.

There are sixty-one proofs of death on file in its office on wbich assessments have not been made. [persons taking insurance now will have little prospect ot the payment of their claims so long as there are sixty-three old claims still unpaid, and tbe present members—those who have been in long' enough to be assessable for them—must pay 8ixtv-three. assessments before any persons hereafter Qf ing can hope to rea lize. This will explain the delay which many are experiencing.]

The charges conclude as follows: "It has knowingly and unlawfully received moneys from third persons and then refused to permit such persons to participate in the benefits. Therefore the said Attorney-General prays tbe advice and judgment of the Court in the premises, and the rendition of a judgment acting and wholly excluding said defendant from being a corporation, and from exercising any of the franchises, priveleges or powers ct a corporation, and for all other proper relief."

The chompion crooks and confidence men no longer travel on trains with the three myateriana cards, but have gone into the insurance business j#!

A Boy Eight Years Old (fader Arreetfor Rettery., am S.f

From Tuesday's Daily.

Deputy Sheriff Butler this morning went up in the country north of this city and arrested John Julian, aged eight, at the ipstance of Mary Arnold, with whom he lives, for robbery. Hfrs. Arnold keeps a boarding house. The boy lives with her, and he is charged- with abstracting varioua artielea of more or less value from the pockets of the boarders. Mrs Arnold has raised the boy since he was three years old, and her object in giving him over to the officials is to have him sent to the Plainfield Reformatory, where he may possibly be broken of the per nicious habit he has contracted while so young

The boy was seen at the jail this morning. He was not locked up, but kept in the Sheriff's house. He does not appear to be over six years old. ssir rr\ Uaoi -tiT .nEjti Edacatieaal. To the Editor of tbeOAZBTTK:,,

I entered a school some time since. It was a High School—at least they called it suoh. Asking the senior class to name three English authors, you can imagine my surprise when each student made a complete failure. They were' then asked to name three American authors but again failed.

This is not true, as a rule, of our town and city schools but we venture to affirm that it is true of a large per cent, of our country schools.

How can this be remedied We will give one of several methods. If our teachers will invest two dollars and a half in thoSe beautiful, "Steel Plate Portraits of Eminent Authors and Poets," enclosed In such convenient and elegant cases (they may be found at any good book store) take one of these at a time to their school room have any appropriate selection made/'from the same author. Now all know bow anxious we are to see some noted person and how much our pleasure is increased if we are introduced to him. How many will go to see and hear Booth next Turaday eveniog prompted by thia same inherent longing to see a noted person

Mow introduce your school to your special author through bis photograph, let them examine it carefully, then read, or which is batter, hare one of your pupils thoroughly prepared, ton ad the selection in an attractive style. This rssociating the avthor with the selection from his works, forms a nucleus around which will develop future acquisitions, as well as aesiet in forming a very valuable habit in tho student. Ask the popils to naftie soap otter selection from the name author if they fail, suggest the name ot one yon are certain they have read, and ask ho# many have seen it st their hands come up, inform them tbey have been introdoeed to the lady or gentleman. In few days ask for the name of the author ana the name of the selections. Then introduce a second, and be sute to make it so attractive and interesting that every pupil shall consider the exercise a rich mtellectoal treat. Cam this on for several weeks and you will find it to be the beet investment you have made, not only for your school, but also foryoumelf.

You will also help to correct one of the most dangerous evils of our dsy by removing, in sokne degree, the demand for the vast amount of vicious literature that floods our land, and is so eagerly sought and devoured by our ^oung peo-

NAVAL HISTORY.

Tho Story of first Vav&l Battlo of the Rebellion

•i.'t

Interesting Eeminisonces by Capt Jonathan Yonng now Visiting ia tbeOfty. »T km r\ .y09^.' »t*l *i 4

Captain Jonathan Young, brother of Dr. S. J. Yotkn? of this city, was visited by a GAZETTE reporter last night, and interviewed in regard to certain naval experiences of hid, during the war. The captain is off duty at present, awaiting orders. HiB last post was Portsmouth, N. H. He was on blockade duty for over forty months, during tbe war, and in such position met with maoy interest* ing experiences. The monitor Sangamon was under his command for a considerable time.

Commander Young entered the naval service as a midshipman in 1841 served in tbe Mexican war and In a war with the Indians in Pnget Sound, W, .T. Where he acted on shore in command bf the landing forces. He participated in the Paraguay expedition, and on tbe (breaking out of tbe rebellion was among the first to return from tbe Mediterranean and take part in it.

The first naval battle of the war waa fought in Hattenu Inlet,May 1861. Captain Young was at that time a lieutenant on the war frigate Susquehanna, and participated in the two days fighting, which led to the surrender of rats Hatteras and Clark.

As the firstjbattle of the war (Bull Run was fought about two months later) a short account of it may be interesting.

In the first part of tbe war, there were no admirals, and tbe highest naval commander was called tbe Flag-Officer.

Tbe North Atlantic fleet, the one which made the attack upon the forts, consisted of six large vessels of war, and several smaller ones, and was in charge of FlagOfficer Stringham. The first days firing waa opened about noon, and continued untilSfour o'clock, when it waa thought that Fort Hatteras had raised the whits flag. Port Glark was in the tear of Hatteras, and was not st first knoWn of. After tbe firing coattsd, Gen. Butler landsd with the purpoee inP '1 view' of taking poSssatlon of the fort, which was in the oommacd of Commodore Barren, lormorly a naval ofBcer. But Barren reftned to surrender. The land forces laid over that night, on ahore, and tbe following morning firing recommeaced. Both forts, Ha'teras and Claris were soon dismantled, an| taken, possession of.

jv'VT

Tho n&t natal little Mgftrid at Port Royal, in November of the same year. Capt. Young participated in it, as lieutenant of his ola vessel, tbe Busquehehns, which had been transfered from the South, to the North Atlantic Squadron, commaded by Duponr. The federal fleet was quite strong, consisting of about a dozen war frigates.

The "Wabash" was the flagship, and the Susquehanna was next in the line. Commodore Tatnell commanded the rebel squadron, consisting of five frigates. Tbe confederate fleet was assisted by the heavy guns of two forts, on Port Royal. After four hours of steady firing, the eneihy surrendered the forts.

The capture of theee two places was of more importance to the successful termination of the war, and more disheartening and damaging to tbe rebels than any other naval victory, as it gave us a foothold on the soil of North and South Carolina, which were rendezvous for our blockading squadrons, and without which we could not have kept up the blockade. They were the first important naval engagements since the war of 1812, and by their successful and brilliant terminatioa assured the country that we knew how to accomplish our task let it be ever so difficult.

Soon after this, Captain Young was detatched and received orders as executive officer, on board of the Jamestown, commanded by Captain Charles Green. He filled the same posiitoo a few months later, on board of the PoWhataa, under Captain Godon.

IH tbe spring of 1863, Captain Young obtained his first command, the gunboat Pembinta, blockading off Mobile. Early in Marcb, he waa under fire from Fort Morgan, while, reconnoitering that poei tion. March20th, 1868, he waa. under fire from musketry on ahore while en gaged in destroying a rebel blockade rrinner. On the 9th of April, 1861, he had a warmly contested action with tho rebel shore batteriss, which, after an hour's lighting, he suocesded in silencing and driving OT. A

Sherman]' bad just established communication withp tbe fleet, but as yet no junction had been effected. It remained with Capt.
