Teaching on Saturday’s. |

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Deak Sir,—In Toe Weekty Examiner, | of the 8th inst., I noticed an article Over | the signature of ‘Teacher’ in which the | writer shows the bad effects teaching on! Saturdays has on the average daily attend- ' anee. Now, Sir, my experience, and ‘that Jof the majority of country teachers are precisely the same. What are we then to infer from these facts? The only inference which can be drawn is, that sending chil- dren to school on Saturdays is not ap- proved of by the majority of the people. Indeed, in most cases, it is little better than a waste of time for the teacher to go to the schoolroom on that day, as he is re- warded for his trouble by being compelled to look at the empty seats, and~ what teacher can keep up enthusiasm with half a dozen pupils. [t is an old proverb,.and a true one, that says: *‘All work, no play, makes Jack a dall boy,” and is it not reasonable to s»ppose that.a chill’s mind may become weakened by excessive appli- cation to books? I know that my pupils always enter the schoolroom with brighter faces, and work with greater interest the week in which they are to havea holiday on Saturday.

Besides all this, I see greater reason why we teachers in the country should not teach on Saturdays. The teachers in the City Schools have eight weeks in mid-summer, a week at Christmas, the same at Easter, and every Saturday, which makes about eleven weeksannually. Now, all country teachers have, are three weeks in the Spring, the same in Autumn, with the first and third Saturday of every. month, making, in all, about eight weeks. Therefore it can be easily seen that we have to teach nearly a month more during the year, than our favor- ed brethren of the metropolis. Now, why this difference! Have we not to pay the same fer our education! Have we not to go through the same training? Yes; and do we enjoy such advantages as city teachers ? Are we paid as high salaries? No. Why, then, [ ask, are we not placed on a level with them? I seek for information. Let some person who knows, kindly answer, and oblige,

A Country TRACHER. Dromore, Sept. 15th, 12:82.

The North Sydney Murder Particulars regardivg the shooting of the English sailor Patrick Farrel by Black Lizzie are at, hand. It appears that the place which is kept by the family of a negro woman, is frequently visited by sailors, some of whom remain there for weeks. The man shot went to the den lost Tuesday evening in company with another sailor and found it occupied by a young negro woman named Lizzie, daughter of the keeper, who is known by the vame of Black Hannah and by whom the information was carried to the police. One of two men shortly after left, stating that he was going back to town, but be had not gone very far from the house before the report of a pistol was heard inside. He immediately re- turned and looking through the door saw his companion of a few minutes before trying to wrench from the girl a pistol she held. He succeeded in getting po- session of the weapon and handed it to his mate who threw it away. Black Lizzie states that the sailor insulted her when they were left together, which she resist- ed, when he threatened to murder her. She then seized the pistol and fired at him and was attemptlog to fire a second time when he seized her hand and frustrated her. The sailor suffered terribly all through the night, vomiting blood every few minutes. ‘The murderess is in jail. sty baiiiediasl

Swan’s Skin and English Complex- ion. An English «statistician says that no Jess than 7000 swans’ skins are annually imported into London atone for the ex- ‘elusive manufacture of the “puffs” used for the purpose of laying powder on the ‘face. Every swan’s skin makes about ‘sixty puffs, which would make an annual ‘cousumption of 420,000 puffs. Is then, the natural whitenuess of the Eaglish skin amyth? ‘The same English statistician

The Turk on Ireland.

A startling rumor, says Vanity Fair, comes from Cuustantivople. It is said

= that the grand old Turk, seized with a

sudden enthusiasm for order and horrified by the tales of massacre and outrage which have reached him from Ireland, has countermanded the forces desticed for Egypt and has* dirceted them ‘to proceed at once to Dublin Bay. The

ships. on their arrival will take up

positions within easy range of the for- midable Martello towers which guard the Irish coast, and their instructions are

‘on the first appearance ot hostile symp-

toms, to lay Dublin in ashes, Prompt measures, the Turk feels, are absolutely necessary to curb the rebellious spirit of the Irish and to restore the authority of Lord Spencer, who now finds himself un- able to trust even the Praetorian guards assigned for his protection. It is satis- factory to learn that in all this there is po unfriendly intent toward this country. So far from it, England is to be invited

;to send a contipgent to assist in restoring

order in Ireland, the only condition being ihat such contingent must place itself under the orders of the Pacha in com- mand. When Ireland has been thorough- ly cowed, aud Mr. Parnell executed, the future destinies ef the country will be arranged by a conference of the in- ditferent Powers, to be held in London.

Captain Shaw of the London Fire

Brigade.

Capt. Eyre M. Shaw has returned to New York onhis way home. He has visited nearly all the promiuent cities of the country, and has paid careful atten- tion everywhere to their fire departments. He says:—“I visited the United States ten years ago, and then the fire depart- ments were away behind the age. Since that time the rest of the world has far advanced ; here not a siugle step on- ward has been made, In fact I noticed many evidences of a decided retrograde movement. The London Chief inveigh- ed strongly against the influence of polities in the service. The “best American fireman” seemed to be the in- dividual who had “the strongest pull on the political string.” He had heard a great deal of boasting, he said, about the wonderfully traived firemen of New York. They had talked to him loudly and long of the magnificent drill of the department, He had seep it all, and it all amounted to a litile exhibition in harnessing horses. He had seen ladders in America which he had been informed cost $4,000. In his experience his de- partment never bought but. one ladder that cost over £100. They couldn't afford to buy ladders at such an enormous price. He was in the habit of paying £400 fora fire engine ; it would be ex- travagant to. pay more, During his trip he had seen machines costing from $19,- 000 to $18,000- The low-priced En- glish engines he was certain were superior to the high-priced American ones. ‘The hose used in America, he says, is of a very inferior quality, aud sold at a base- ly extortionate price.

Mourning Colors.

In Italy women grieve in white gar- meuts and men in brown. In China white is worn by both sexes. In Turkey Syria, Cappadocia, and Armenia celestial blue is the tint chosen. In Egypt yellowish brown, the hue of the dead leaf, is deemed proper, and in Ethiopia, where men are black, gray is the emblem of mourning. All of these colors are symbols. White symbolizes purity, an attribute of our dead ; the celestial blue, that place of rest where happy souls are at peace ; the yellow, or dead leaf, tells that death is the end of all human hope, and that man falls as the autumn leaf; and grey whispers of the earth to which we return. The Syrians considered mourn- ing for the dead an effeminate practice, and so, when they grieved, they put on women’s clothes, as a symbol of weak- ness, and as a shame to them for a lack ot manliness. The ‘Tracians made a feast when one of their loved ones died, and every method of joy and delight was employed. This meant that the dead had passed from a state of misery into oue of felicity. Black was introduced as mouruing by the queen of Charles VIIL of France. Before that the French queens wore White mourning, and were known as “white queens.”
