The regulation, of course, prevents colored children from getting into the Righ School and obtaining the saine educational advantages as white children.

THE GAME AGAIN COMING INTO FAVOR.

Few English sports can boast a much greater antiquity than the homely pastime known as skittles. The fact that the game is generally played in a covered shed, and

to himself and to Her Royal Highness, that the shed in question is almost invari-

and he trusts that they will continue to

keep up the discipline and foster that |

military spirit which now pervades all ranks. Although they may never be called out to defend their country, these will be the best safeguards for peace, securing both at home and abroad. | —Now that the United States has suc- cessfully adapted a cheaper rate of letter | ‘postage, the press of Canada are also.

making a move in this matter, maintain- | ing that the time has arrived for a two cent rate for Canada. La Concorde, of , Quebec, refering to this matter says that | “‘the entire press is agreed on the sub-' ject of a reduction in letter postage. The rate an letters weighiog only half an

ounce should be two cents for all parts

,of the continent. There is no doubt that

this system would be a most beneficial

one. The fact that the United States: have adopted this system and are pleased | With it should be sufficient example. The | three cent stamp should be withdrawn.” The Montreal Herald also favours Cheaper postal rates and is of the opinion ‘that successful as have been the three cent postal rate and tie one cent pos- tal card we want something cheaper.

| forecast that may be adduced from them | of the next Presidential contest, and now as these elections are about being held, every indication of the political outlook ‘is being carefully scanned. For the pre sent month only two State Elections were set down, both of which came off on the fith inst., one in Towa and the other in Ohio. In the former State, the Republi- ean candidate for the Governorship was ‘Buren P. Sherman, who was opposed by Democrat and Greenback candidates. By latest returns the Republicans claim a majority of 15,000 for Mr. Sherman, In Ohio, how- ‘ever, the result has been entirely Opposite, the Democratic nominee has secured his election by a very large majority, not- ‘withstanding that he was apposed by Republican, Greenback and Prohibi- tionist Candidates. The result of these two elections. each of the two great parties securing one Governorship, will be to increase, rather than diminish, the excitement as regards the political out- look.

— Frederick Mann, the murderer of the Cook Family at JL/Qriginal, was hanged on the 12th inst. He came from London, England, and at the time he committed those sanguinary murders the horrible revelations of which make oae’s blood run cold, was only eighteen years of age. He stepped upon the fatal door with firmness, carefully inspected the pinioning of his legs, wore a cheer- ful smile, said good-bye to his attendant and nodded to those he recognized about the scaffold. After an impressive prayer had been offered by Rev. Mr. Phillip’s, Manns spiritual adviser, the bolt was drawn and the murderer was dangliag in the air. The executioner did his work in acool manner, and in 94 minutes after he had touched the fatal spring, the pulsations of the murderer’s heart ceased. He died apparently without a struggle and is credited with having said that its only ahop, step and leap from a sinful world into an eternity of love. In the morning he joined heartily in devotional exercises, singing with great zest a sweet tenor to that beautiful hymn, “Abide with Me, fast falls the eventide.” Fifty persons witnessed the execution.

—A question that has been engaging the attention of the authorities of Hali- fax, and one provoking much discussion, is whether the colored children of that city shall be allowed to attend, or wheth- er they shall be excluded from the city free schools. It appears that in 1876 the Halifax Schcol Board passed a resolution that separate schools be provided for colored children; separate departments for boys and girls, and that, as soon as accommodation should be provided, no colored children be admitted into any other schools. Two departments, one for boys and another for girls, were es- tablished under this resolution, and now colored children are not admitied to the other Halifax schools. This is felt to be a great hardship, because these schools

ably situate in the rear of a public house, has, perhaps, detracted somewhat from the dignity and respectability of the amuse- ment. But prejudices of this sort should not be allowed to stand in the way of the general recognition of skittles as a fine vld British instutition, which combines exercise and pleasure is about equal pro- portions. Pussibly the name “skittles”

sounds a trifie low, and has thus been a dis-

advantage to the pastime; whereas if we

call it ‘‘nine-pins,” like our grandfathers,

that designation may be considered by the

fastidious to border oa the childish. It has

occurred to a practical genius in the west of

England that there is really no good reason

why skittles should not be played on a lawn

just as well as in a skittle-alley; and in

order to carry out this idea all that is need-

edis to set up the bottle-shaped bits of

wood on flat stands on the grass, with a

cricketing net behind to stop the ball which

is hurled by the players. Possibly the

popularity which may follow this laudable

attempt to add one more to our out-of-

door amusements will make garden-skit-

tles a rival even to lawn-tennis, A

variety is always charming, and, when

the soul is satiated with the pleasures

of giving impossible ‘‘serves” over a tennis-

net, a ehange to lawn nine-pins may prove

areal blessing. Neither bowls nor quoits

flourish very much in England; yet the former game is a far greater favorite north

of the Tweed than lawn tennis, and there 18 no question that the skill of hsad and

eye required is at least as great as in the latter popular sport. In skittles also there is room for the exercise of a considerable amount of dexterity, while a very ‘large ad-

mixture of the element of chance increases: the excitement. It is an advantage that any number of players could take part‘%n this new game, and a lawn sixty feet long is: all the ground that is required.

Dickens’ Birthplace.

“A week ago, being in Portsmouth,” writes a correspondent of the Pa/i Mali Gazette, ‘I was desirous of seeing the birth- place of Charles Dickens, and was surprised to find uncertainty preveiling on the sub- ject. It was known to be one of the hotses in Mile-end terrace, which is on the left side of the Commercial road, Landport, Portsea, and about one mile from Ports- mouth Town railway station. Proceeding thither, I found four small old houses, with gardens infront, and green railings and trées. I had been directed to the first house of the four (now No. 387), but I afterward learned from some of the old in- habitants of the immediate neighborhood that the last house (No. 393) was considered to be the right one. With reference to the birthplace, Forster, in his ‘Life of Charles Dickens,’ vol. i., p. 2, says, ‘He has often told me that he remem- bered the small front garden to the house at Portsea, from which he was taken away when twe years old, and where, watched by a nurse through a low kitchen window almost level with the gravel walk; he trotted about with something to eat, and his little elder sister with him. He was carried from the garden one day to see the soldiers exercise. I venture to suggest the desira- bility of clearing up the doubt, (if any really exist), and that the true house, when ascertained, should have a small tablet placed upon it. To do this would, I think, be a creditable action on the part of the citizens of Portsmouth, and it would also be a great boon to all casual visitors who, like me, take a profound interest in even the slightest reminiscence of Charles Dickens.”

Star Gazing in October.

October will be a fine month for star gaz- ing, but those who wish to behold the chief glories of the sky will have to be up after midnight. Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and Uranus are all morning stars, and the three first named are very brilliant. Saturn's rings are so widely opened now that a small telescope will show them, and ina good telescope the great planet looks like en exquisitively carved ball of ivory, shaded with delicate tints,and surrounded bya double ring of gold even more beautifully ornamented. Jupiter presents a wonderful appearance, his disk being covered with colored spots and belts which change con- tinually in form andtint, and furnish no end of material for speculation as to what can be going on upon this giant globe to produce such surprising phenomena, visible at the distance of four hundred million of miles. Except inthe sun, there is not within range of human eyesight any exhibition of material power equal to that presented by the unstable surface of the greatest of the planets. Mars and Uranus are not in good positions for study with a small telescope.—New York Sun.
