[he Public Schools of this City were to-day re-opened, after the midsummer holidays. with an attendance of about one thousand pepils of ali grades. It i satisfactory to see 80 pene al an interest taken 1D the education of our youth, but there is still vas om for improvement in this respect No child of the prope: achool age should be detained at home while such great advantages are within their reach. We hope that all who have hitherto been dilatory in reference to this matter will give heed and keep in regular | uttendance at school | children io their charge who have a right to the enjoyment of the educational advantages of this Province

forced itself more prominently: than all others upon public attention, is the ne- eéssity of taking the Telegraphic System otit of.the hands of monopolies and plac- ing it under the immediate contro! of the Government. From one end of the United States to the other the press, with but ‘few exceptions, are making strenuous efforts to have this desirable object accomplished. As the Govern- ment wotld have no reason to misuse it, there is less danger from the Telegraph in their hands than in those of private parties. Ifthe former should attempt to turu its power to private and partizan ends, the people enjoy the privilege of being able to remedy it, a privilege they would not hesitate to exert. On the other baud there is no such remedy against the arbitrary power of a monopoly and nothing is left but to submit with the best grace possible. Bat Government lines would not bea monopoly. The purpose in view with governments would be simply fo supply the people with cheap and reliable tele- graph facilities. The telegraph, says an exchange, should be the poor man’s mail as well as the rich one’s.. Again under the control of Government there would be less danger of strikes. In its current issue Llarper's Weekly discusses this phase of the question thoughtfully and sensibly. Such interruptions, it says, as those arising from a strike produce not only incalculable inconvenience but loss, and it is only for the people to decide

whether or not they shall be tolerated. They will always be pessible and immi- |

rhe Franco-Chinese War. Cie hostilities. which have commenc- ed at Aunam have so far proved dis-

sterous to the French. ‘There is no doubt that France was hasty in provok- iug an attack upon China, She now sees the error she has committed ; but

she has to come out of the difficulty with credit to herself. Llowever , it is feared she will not do this. The first ment between the belligerents is reported the 22nd from Hong

in ul despatch ot Kong

‘On the 15th inst., an attack was made the French on Phouhai, in the direction

by f Sontap, a strong post seven miles from

«rt

Hanoi. The French were 2,000 strong and the enemy 15,000. The position was carried but found to be untenable. A por-

tion of the troops retreated to the river, covered by gunboats, while the rest went in the direction of Hanoi.

‘“‘The French were divided

into three

/ columns, 500 men in each, as far as Sontay.

rhe right then advanced along the river, supported by tive gunboats. After going five miles the enemy were found entrench-

led. The gunboats fired among them and the entrenchments were carried. The

ps then advanced to carry the fortified village with the bayonet, but the defence

was so vigorous they were thrice repulsed.

*\ , tro

| Toward evening the French, finding their | attempts fruitless, decided to renew the at-

next morning. The centre column met with faint resistance and oceupied Hanoi. They there awaited the turning movement of the left column; the latter ad- vanced along the rvad which the late’ Cap- tain Riviere took. Four hundred Chinese accompanied the column, which reached

tack

| Vong and there found the road barred by a

strong entrenchment. The artillery then fired into the works. The column advance- ed with difiicuity owing to the floods ; the horses were unused to harness and refused

to. drag the guns. The men took their places in dragging up the artillery. When

within three hundred yards of the enemy’s entrenchments the I'rench opened fire. For a time there was no return, but after soine delay they opened with a tremendous fusilade, which checked the advance. It was manifest the position could not be earried by a direct. attack and a flank movement was impossible, so the French retreated. The enemy shouting in triumph issued from their entrenchments and began the pursuit, They pressed around both flanks of the retreating col- umn; the French then fired shells into the ranks of their pursuers, but they continued to follow. The French preserved excellent order and carried everything off. the field,

including their killed and wounded. At four o'clock the enemy drew off. The French column reached Hanoi about 7 o'clock, completely exhausted. The centre column returned to Hanoi. The

right cecupies the position the enemy evac- uated. The French loss was two officers and ten men killed, and fifty-four seriously wounded; thirty of the allies were killed. The entire Red River Delta is flooded and many villages destroygd. Thousands of lives have been lost, “The French plan was to strike simultaneously at Sontay, Hue, Bacninh and Haidnong. So far only the latter has been taken.”

The Count De Chambord.

Henri Charles Ferdinand Marie Dieu- donne D’Artois, Count de Chambord and Die de Bordeax is dead. He was the son of the Duke de Berri. who was the son of Charles X. of Franceand grandson of Louis XV. The Count de Chambord was, there- fore, the legitimate heir of the Crown of France, and head of the elder branch of the Bourbens. In 1830 he was proclaimed King of France by the title of Henry V., the proclamation being made by command of his grandiather, who announced his intention of abdicating the throne in his favor. His reign was very brief; in fact he was never actually king, being compelled to fly from Francejin the ‘Charles’ and take refuge in England, and Lou‘s Phillippe, of Orleans, a representative of

the younger branch of the Bourbons took:

the throne. The Count resided in London for some years in a semi-royal state, claim- ing to be King of France and surrounding himself with his partizans. He made no overt attempt to enlist the sympathies of the people until after the disaster to the French arms at Sedan in 1870, when he issued a proclamation from Switzerland, in which he called on the people to give him their allegience. He also protested to the European governments against the bom- bardment of Paris by the Prussians and

of the situation is monopoly. To destroy monopoly is of course to relieve the| situation. The sneer that it is not the| place of a Government to go into business | is silly, beeause the Government has} already gone into busioess. In the Post | Office Department it has often deliber- | ately gone into a losing business because | the convenience and prosperity of the people are more important than the cost of the service to the Treasury, <A} general strike of the telegraphs and} railways would, in a very short time, | cost the Government and country very | much more than the construction of a| telegraph. The operation of such a! work should of course be beyond the| interference of trading politicians. But it is cleat that the expediency of- postal | telegraphy has become a pressing and | important question. Let us therefore have Government telegraphs in Canada and the United States.

There is little doubt that had he consented at this time to a fusion of the two branches of his family and become to own expression, ‘‘the legitimist King of the revolution,” he might have occupied the throne of France, but he was firm in his determination to stand by the traditions of his house. Siace this time several efforts have been made to restore the monarchy, with Henry V. at its head, and in 1873 it was thought that the event was at hand; but the Count hada weakness for wordy proclamations and a parading of his principles, which found expression in public correspondences and effectually killed hie prospects. In this last year he formed an alliance with the Count de Paris, whom he declared his heir. During recent years the ghost of the monarchy has stalked abroad on one or two occasions; but the Count never seemed equal to the effort of arousing the popular mind in his favor. He was a christian gentleman in every sense of the work; beloved by his friends and respected by his opponents. Had he lived another month he would have been sixty-three years old.—Telegraph.

CONFIDENCE Two |

The confidence operators are still busily | employed in Montreal, and as successfully | go throngh their confiding victims as if | accounts of such impudent robberies never Recently a French- Canadian named Peltier and his son arrived in that city from Massachusetts, and were proceeding by boat to Quebec, from which they had been long exiled. They had be- tween them $210 all told.. A fashionably dressed scoundrel with glib tongue, sat down beside the returning immigrants, and told them confidentially that he was a large merchant at Point Levis of the name of Jones, not a plentiful name certainly. After lengthened conversation the parties became very intimate, but their conversation was interrupted by a man rushing up and asking Mr. Jones for pay ment of his note for $250, due that day. The confidence villian said it was too late to draw the money from the bank, but said he had a mining bond for $1,000 that he would give as security. The confederate gaid that would not do, as he was directed to take nothing but money. Turning to his new feund friends, the plausible scoundrel asked them if they would advance the amount to get him out of the dilemma, and he would hand them the bond as security until he arrived in the capital,when he would draw the money and recompense them. The simple-minded Frenchmen, notwithstanding their years of residence in the States- where it is said people become sharpened by their experience, turned out all the money they had between them and handed it over in exchange for the absolute- ly worthless printed paper given in return. The two confederates shortly after left the steamer before she sailed, and of course are now in some new field for the exercise of their genius. The dupes proceeded on their trip without a dollar, but the lesson may have a tendency to open their eyes and sharpen their wits when meeting new friends hereafter.

Wholesale Murder in England.

A FATHER DESTROYS HIS FOUR CHILDREN TO GET RID OF THEM.

A shocking crime was perpetrated at Courtney Place, near St. James Street Station, Walthamstow, a father having drowned three of his children—Charles, aged three and one-half years; Herbert, two and one-half y&rs. and Frederick; aged sixteen months, and so seriously in- jured two others—-twin boys only seven days old—that one of them died shortly afterward, and the death of the second was hourley expected. The man’s name is William Gouldstone, aged forty-three em- ployed by a firm in Lower Thames-street, city. His wife was confined of twins, and she had a woman in the hours to nurse

her. One evening Gouldstone returned home rather earlier than usual. He seemed in a very bad mood and

said to the nurse that he wanted her out of the house while he had a chat with his wife concerning the medical expenses of the confinement. The woman went out of the house, and just before going she heard the father ask for the boy Frederick. The woman was surprised a short time after wards at seeing the cistern running over, and on going to it she was horrified to find the dead bodies of three children in it. At the same moment she heard screaming in the room where Mrs. Gouldstone was in bed, and knocking at the door was unable te gain entrance. She called asssistance and the door was burst open. Then it was found that the enraged father, after drowning his three eldest children, had struck the twin babies at their mother’s breast with a hammer. The police were at once sent for and the man was taken into custody and conveyed tothe Lea Bridge-road Police Station. When the nurse asked the pris- oner what he was doing he said:—‘‘Never mind, I am happy now, and she is a single woman, No motive, says the London Globe, can be assigned for the murders, except one, viz: that the prisoner has on more than one occasion grumbled with his wife because she had children so quickly.
