IMPORTANT MEETING
OF THB
tOMKOLLERS OF PUBLIC SCUOOW.
A very Interesting mopting was lield last
Thursday In the Directors' Room of the Insane
Asylum, for the purpose of taking iuto conside
ration the subject of having the newspapers
rrad In the Tublic Schools, instead of the old
fashioned books now used, such as the different
'Headers," elale "Histories," and accounts of
nations now dead or half dead. The various
ologk'B now studied, and descriptions of extinct
monsters (.particularly the prc-Adaralte insects,
to haunt the minds of our children with their
terrible Images that au ordinary nightmare is n
usury.

The Rev. I. Mnro
was called to the chair. On taking it (which
he did very gracefully by the arm), he said he
hoped to see the time when the papers, particu
larly ouch papers as the National Dipist, and
ether live papers, would occupy our children's
attention. lie was of the opinion that the
proceedings of the different religious bodies was
thing which our children at present were
Tcry ignorant of.
Mr. P. CJrecn
aid he had been a member of the Board for
many years, and had seen there was something
wanting in the childreu. Ho once made the
cnggestlon, on his own account, that the Dally
JVooie be served regularly to all the schools.
(Great laughter.)
Mr. S. Malta
taid he hoped the Sunday Tltermometer would
be added to the Ncose; that the present sub
jects of school reading were very di
1.
nr. O. 1. IMUilock
would move that the Monthly Purge and Lancet
be added to the list. He had noticed, when he
was a visiting county school director, many
children over twelve years oi age an age at
which all well-regulated railroad companleB
charged the same fare as for himself that could
not tell the difference between a "cataplasm"
and the "spinal column." He would, therefore,
like to see more attention civen to Materia
Medlca, so that cases of Acute Pneumonia would
be as familiar to children as frosted feet.
Mr. It. Guo
would ask why, if newspapers are to be
read, we should be confined to the Americau
papers? He would like gee the Amtrile Sols
chafer, and occasionally the Yyyllmorr L'lweddd,
a sprightly paper published at Gwyuedd, in our
Rtale, read. . He was sure there must be much
In these learned periodicals that our children
were unacquainted with; and why not? Let the
thing be tried. Why not ? He would like to
hear from some gentleman. He wa9 opposed
to most anything for the sake of argument.
Why not?
V
Mr. I.. O'Qucnt
hoped they would only suguest the papers with
the largest circulation, because they were the
-CfD
X.'!
most Influential, and generally were a better
Index of the public taste. He would name, as
meeting the case, The Catholic Unicorn, a
weekly published right la our midst.
Mr. V. lleement
was surprised at this beating around the bush
and no conclusion come to. No one would like
to see the newspapers In the Public Schools
more than he, but let them bo such as were
appropriate. Arc our children to grow up with
out any minds of their own? Form them with
opinions as are opinions. There is the New
York Dai'y Tribulation, or, for children with
opposite politics, there is Pomeroy's Daily
BrkVlat, a paper of a decided character (a
voice, "But a decided bad character"); that may
be, but how are we to appreciate light without
darkness T (Applause.)
ifrm
Mr. ii. 01oy
now rose nnd taid he thought the meeting would
fpend all their time in talk, and do nothing.
What we want is facts. If any gentleman has
teen the Strata lii vieio and Sandstone Journal,
he has fccd a specimen of a true paper, a type
of which la seldom lound out ot the office. He
would no more think of educating children
without a knowledge of the oolite, lias, and red
marls of his county than ho would of letting
them grow up without a knowledge of the gene
ral dip of the stratified const of his own State.
Yet he was sorry to say that very many of the
children at our Public Schools have no more
knowledge ol the dip of their own county than
they have of the comparative anatomy of a
megatherium or a pterodactyle. When he
thought of this he, like Jefferson, trembled for
his county. ,
At this ttage of the proceedings
Tbe Series Editor
of Tub Evemnc Telegraph reminded the gen
tlemen that the last car into the city would
leave in a few minutes, and that they only had
time to put one motion if they wished to take
any decided position to-night. He would there
fore move,
"That the newspapers be read in the Public
Schools, as an experiment, onre a week for six
mouths, and the Supper Table Series every
week be the subject tor thi3 experiment."
The President put the question.
One voice was heard "aye."
As the "nays" were about being taken the
Scries Editor cried out, "The last car !" causing
a complete rush of the members out of the
room.
The meeting theu was considered adjourned,
and the motion of the Series Editor unanimously
carried.
A doctor, recently Installed in a new hou?e ou
one ol the new boulevards, P.ris, received a
visit from an unknown person.
p , being a neighbor, I have taken
the liberty of calling on you."
"Ah I jou are"
"Yes, blr. I have established myself on the
floor below, and I have taken the great liberty
to beg you to recomuend me, when the occa
sion demands, to jour patient?."
"Willingly; but what is your"
"I have opened a mourning store."
A Caniid EriTArn. Tombstone inscriptions
are generally accused of want of candor. The
following lines, which are to be found on a
stone in the churchyard of Darcnth, near Dart
fore, England, certainly do not err in that
direction:
'Ob, the liquor bo did love, but never will no more,
For wbat lie loved U it tur His t. e:
For on lbs Mill J miliary, 1741. tbat foul day,
Tbe lab I lie owed ue then uld pity."
An Accommodating Servant. A gentleman
addressed his servant, "Jamct, I have always
placed tue greatetd. confidence in you; now tell
me, James, how is it that my butcher's bills arc
so large, and I always have such bad dinners ?"
Really, sir, I don't know; for I am sure wo
neer have nuythlng nice in the kitchen that we
don't send Bomo of it up in the parlor."
A little girl was asked whether she could
explain the meaning of bearlug lalsc witness
against one's neighbor. "Please, sir, when no
oce does nothing to nobody, aud some one goes
and tells on it
The papi rs speak of a mau who discovered
he is bis own grandfather. That is nothing to
whut happened to a certain venerable friend of
onrs, who found out that be was an old woman,
nnd therefore possibly his own grandmother.
There was a ferryman whom some of his clas"
sical neighbors had entitled Cbarou. "Why do
they call you Churon, Donald?'' inquired a pas
senger. "Wcel, I suppose, because I take care
on the boat, sir "
A lady in New York called at the fchop of a
maker of chimney ventilators to see if he bad
any contrivance which would make her hus
band stop smoking.
Some one who was swindled in the Nevada
mines insists tbat tbe I'ont-of.arnirj of that State
ought to bo a sham rook and a lyre.
"How do you get that lovely perfume?" asked
one lady of another. "It's iccnt to me," was
the reply.

The End of u Ljyc The letter E.
Mr. Fnneh and General Orant,
Prom London JPuncJu
'MB. rBRlDEHf-II.KCT, ULTSBM OrABT, of
the United States of America, I congratulate
yon, sir, and the great American Nation, upon
your election to the throne of King George
Washington, and, In this goblet of driest
champagne, I wish yon a merry Christmas
and a happy reign," said Mr. Punch.
"Festive cuss l" Bald General Grant,
smiling.
"Yonr name, my Ulysses," said Mr. Punoh,
pensively, "appears to me to be of good
angnry for yourself and country."
"Defy omens."
"Man of brevity (which is the aonl of win
net to say of silence (which is golden), you
are right.
And I. too, hold her General's blade
Columbia's omen ana her aid.
Nathless, Odyssens, a pleasing coincidence
meriteth notice. There be points in the his
tory oi your classio namesake which a West
Pointsman will recall, and which somewhat
adumbrate your own history."
'Stat 'm
"Sir. thus. You did not desire to he em-
ployed in war, hut like the King of Ithaca,
wuen engaged, you snowed the utmost saga
city, activity, and valor."
"ioo brown to blush."
"There is no need. Nextly, happier than
some heroes, you were universally applauded
by your countrymen, and rewarded with the
arms of Achilles; that is, the most exalted
military honor in the nation's gift."
"Onnil ntrnin I"
"Ulysses, sir, was famous in conueotlou
with the horse. He valiantly carried away the
horses of Rhesus, and he invented the horse
that took Troy. I think, sir, that you are a
greai autnoriiy in tne matter of horses."
"Health, old hoss 1"
"Thanks. Then, sir, in steering for the
wished-for shore, I find that you stopped your
ears to all Siren blandishment, did your beat
to prevent Windbags from blowing your ves
sel wroDg, and escaped safely from republican
Scylla and democratio Chary bdis."
"Classio cuss 1"
"Again, sir, I find in your peculiarly wise
dealing with the shoals ol hungry beggars for
office, the antitype of Ulysses smashing the
Suitors."
"Blow em !"
"Further, sir, you have given a lesson to
the Cyclops, or one-eyed people, who can see
but one side of a question, and forget that a
King, or President, must rule for all. That
lesson was given by a hot pole, and there was
never a hotter poll than at your election."
"Playful cuss 1"
"But, sir, your greatest similitude, save
one, is in tbe fact that, like the Ithacan your
namesake, you, inspired by Minerva, (ioddess
of Wisdom, 'resolved to give peace to the
Tribes."
"Tot up."
"Yes, sir, for here is your last and grandest
similitude. Equally with Ulysses inspired by
supernatural wisdom, you secretly departed
for a gloomy region,
'Where, In a lonely land, and gloomy cells,
Tbe dusky nation of Britannia dwells.
1 be nun ne'er views tne uncomfortable seats,
When radiant be advances or retreats.
Unhappy raoe whom endless night Invades,
Cloud, the dull air, and wraps them round with
FbadtP.'
"In the dark, now. Where's that?"
"Here," said Mr. Punch, mildly and forgiv
ingly. "Is not that the view taken by you
Americans, and by the French, whom you
adore so, of the mental and physical condition
of this rotten, little old island?"
"We have fools. Haven't you ?"
"Many, thanks be to the Parcai, or how
should the wise live ? Well, sir, you repudiate
the description, but you accept the fact tbat
you made a secret and mystio journey to con
sult Tiresias, the most profoundly wise crea
ture in all creation, upon your future course.
TireBias, I need hardly add," said Mr. Punoh,
modestly, "is myself."
"By Jove," said the President elect, jumping
up, clasping his venerable friend's hand with
one of his own hands, and raising high the
goblet with the other, "you are Tiresias, and
your buton is the staff which was given him
by Minerva, when he lost his eyes for "
"Never mind about that," said Mr. Punch.
"I have not lost mine, and if you have studied
my works, you will know that my peculiar
gift is that I never see anything which, true
reverence forbids me to see."
"Right, Mr. Punch, and I would that all
censors were as conscientious. I glory to
know you, sir. I came by the cable, and I
shall return the same way, for I cannot be
bored with passenger chatter. I came to ask
a favor."
"If possible, it is done. If impossible, i t
shall be done. That's the way to answer
Queens and Presidents. Speak, Ulysses !"
"Firstly, however, I want you to say some
thing civil for me to John Bull. Say that I
have some more of that difficult steering to
do, and that I may not at present see fit to
express for him all the good feeling I enter
tain. But my watchword is 'Peace,' and Mr.
Reverdy Johnson does but amplify the senti
ments all really good Americans have for yon.
In my name, if you'll be so good, return John
Bull belt wishes for a happy Christmas, but
give him a linger only, until you cmpre
hend?"
"Thus," said Mr. Punch, dashing off a
sketch with Ktene-like facility.
"Just that; bravo I And now, old man, give
me your Fifty-fifth Volume.
