‘r filBUS’ KOBiSAIi SCHOOL.
. Messrs. Editors: Knowing the interest you
Bare manifested in the 4iuse ofpublic edupa
tion,l ash the favor using your cdliimnsito;
perform an act of justice'to
cf this city, by communication
which has been denied,' by the joiujnal upon
wliich, in common fairness, ; the justification
devolved. In the. Philadelphia Inquirer-o fthp
16th hist., an editorial j'appe^red,'cpUiplaiuing
ef a rule in reference’to admissions into the
Girls’ Normal School which does not exist.
In the same issue was published a commu
nication criticising unjustly and unfairly the.
teaching in some of the departments in said
school.: v„ 1 ■ > -i i
After waiting a w'cek for the publication or
a reply sent, I felt obliged again to"call" the.
attention of the Inquirer to said' reply, in the
following words: “I have felt it proper to
give you an opportunity to do siihple justice,
in' correcting an erroneous stateipeut, as it
might'be construed into an act of hostility
were 'the correction to appear, in another
paper.” In the Inquirer of Monday last there
appeared a reply to. my communication, which
they had refused to publish.
«The conclusion, therefore, seems to be that
■ the Inquirer volunteers to publish more than
160 lines in condemnation of the Normal
School, whilst about half that number .is too
muchforit to publish in justification; and.
whilst it is quite ambitious to “ trot. the.don
key out,” it complains ofdiscourtesy because
we do not admire the “ length of its ears.”
It was probably an-experience. of..similar.,
character which .induced the late Dr. Rush to
form the unfavorable opinion expressed by him
in regard to the newspaper press.
1 have submitted to a number of personal
communication? of an abusive character from
the Inquirer, not esteeming them worthy of
~nofice7burwhen"this~‘attack-is~made~ott-the
jjormal School I think it my duty, as Chairman
of the Committee, to state as follows:
There is no rule in the Girls’ Normal School
" of this city requiring pupils- to; hecome-teach-•
ere. The policy of haying a school exclusively
for teachers, I think, sould be a, good one, for
there are very many things, not found in"" text
books, to be learned before the proper ability
to teach is secured. That the teaching of the
Normal School might he mainly, directed to
ti e preparation of teachers, the Board of. Con
tit!,established the “Senior Class ” in the Fe
male Grammar Schools. In this, I am well
assured, the pupils may obtain all "that" i 3; ne
ccssary for any position in life, other than that
ef a teaehcr.
The Boys’High School has little reference to
the preparation of teachers, and therefore doe 3
not stand in the same relation as the Girls’
IS ornial School, to our public school system.
There are about’ 1,400 female teachers in the
public schools, while there are but about SO
male teachers. "With the exception of the
Professors in the Boy's’ High School, the Princi-
pal of the Girls’ Normal School, the Principals I
of the Boys’ Grammar Schools, and a few
consolidated schools, the teaching is done
. entirely by females. As these female teachers
are supplied mainly from the Normal School,
—there is, I think, good reason... why_.this.school.,
should he entirely devoted to the preparation
of teachers, especially when it is no uncom
mon complaint that it does not now _supply
teachers enough for the requirements* of the
of our'-city.
The communication of “ A Constant Reader”
in the inqut'rcr, to which I have referred, says:
.‘tit seems to be the opinion of certain of the
teachers that the object of hearing a lesson is
not to ascertain how much the pnpils know
about what they have studied, and to grade
them accordingly, but rather to put the greatest
number of irrelevant catch questions, which
have about as much bearing on the lesson as
the color—of the-dress wears.
■We-will give adew-specimGns ol this improved
style, of instruction and let the public Judge of
its value.
“ A class of young ladies have a spelling
lesson to recite; some get words to spell;
ethers get such questions as these (and we chal- ~
lenge denial): How many word 6 in the lesson ?
How many begin with capitals? How many
begin with small letters ? (This is intended as
an exercise in subtraction, we suppose, the
data being the answers to the two preceding
questions.) Wiiat is the number of the page ?'
How many columns of words in the lesson ?
How many words in each column P How
many words are connected with a hyphen ?
Give me a word that commences with ‘ p.’
Give me one commencing with 1 i.’
“Let ns shift the scene, and try geography.
Miss So-and-So, bound the United States?
Pnpil answers, l On the north by Canada and
British America, east by Atlantic ocean, south
by Gulf of Mexico and Mexico, west by Pa-
cific Ocean.’ This is counted unsatisfactory,
and the question is passed by half a "dozen
pupils before some one, tired of guessiug, ven
tures to inquire what, then, is right? and is
told that the failure is due to not bounding on
the west by Canada, the Gulf of Mexico and
the Pacific Ocean—Canada because that is west
of Maine and New York, and the Gulf be
cause it is west of the peninsular part of' Flo-
rids. Now we would like to know what is the
hindcrmost part of a donkey? Possibly some
may say that it is the end of his tu.il, but we
count it a failure, and .assure them that it is his
hoofs, wlieu he kicks.”
'i he public who will read the charge know
nothing of its truth or falsehood ; whether true
or false, the injury is the same, if this school
or any other institution is to be subject, with
out proper redress, to the spitefuLiuuLanonym
ous abuse of disappointed, aspirants or other
prejudiced parties, its usefulness will be sadly
impaired,or,possibly, entirely destroyed.
It is easy to break down what we have not
the intelligence to build up, and even a
“ donkey ” (if 1 may be permitted to use the
illustiation in Natural History presented by a
“ Constant Header ”) may overturn with his
heels wliat he could not improve by the use of
his brains. 1 desire here to say the Girls’
Nonnal School is open to public inspection at
any time during school hours; if there is any
cause for complaint i am sure no one can be
more anxious to hear of it than the Committee
having charge of the school. Doubtless the
“ Constant Header ” (who may have been a
teacher) was fully aware that, a Committee,
was appointed by the Board of Control to di
rect the affairs of the Normal School; if then,
the object was to secure the correction of an
evil, how easily it could have been acconl
.plislicd by notifying the Committee. If, how
ever, the object. was to injure the school, it
could be best accomplished by precisely such ,
communications as that of a “ Constant
* Header.”
Regarding the lesson in spelling referred to,
I would say it ir possible, in the iamiliar dis
cussion of tha subject, questions may have been
given not directly connected with the branch
wider consideration. So far, however, as Xam
able to learn, no such series of questions, as a
test of the pupil’s knowledge, or basis for mark
ing, was ever submitted. Every intelligent
teacher is fully aware that, very frequently,
more than the mere spelling of the word is re
qnisite in a spelling-lesson ; and, doubtless,that
._ir.„w.hicb.wi)u;d seem trifling - to - mere spectators t
would appear otherwise had they the’. full
knowledge’ of the subject possessed by the
teacher. It happens the branch of study nauied
is in charge of a lady who has no superior in
her profession in this city. <
In reference to the Geography questions, it
is submitted, the “Constant. Header” has made
objection to that which is strictly correct. In the
Mjltmul School it is intended to give a full and
precise answer to every question; and it would '
fee Bimjply Abe duty of thei teacher to give, with
proper explanation, the precise answer objected
to by a “ Constant Reader.” :

, ' .RichmoXld, April lift.—Business is [almost!
'entirely susriendefl; in this - city to-day.'jThe:
bells are tolling, and the day Is being observed;
as. one of general mourning. The citizens are
all .attending the funeral of friends’who .
were'victims., So great is .the demand/for
backs and hearses that it is almost impossible
to obtain them. In several instances funerals
will lake place from the same church, one just
after the other. The funcrals-of Thomas H.
Quarles and Captain Pettigru Woolfolk are
now taking place together from 1 the Sycamore
street Church. The church is crowded, and
the remains are escorted by the Howard Grand
iDivision Sons .of "T.emperanee and other or
ganizations. The funeral J)f N.P. Howard is
;also taking place from -St. James’ Church,
[which is crowded. The funeral of Policeman
!Cox has just taken place, and the remains were
(escorted liy members of both police forces. ‘
t At 5 P. Ml the funerals of Patncli, Henry
jAylettyPowhattau Roberts, Samuel'A. Eaton,
R. H. Manry, Jr., and young; John Turner will
take place.
, This morning Thos. S. Baldwin, the clothing
merchant, died, after great 'suffering. .
; Mr.' W. C. Dunham, agent of the Old Do
minion Steamship Co., is better, and there are
hopes of his recovery.
. Ex-Governor Wells is better, but his condi
tion is still considered critieal. The point of
one of his ribs has entered his left lung, which
causes much spitting of blood.
Remnrliable Escape.
Oneofthe most.remarkable escapes ofyes

Legislature; from Elizabeth City.; He fell
through with the rest, and did not receive a
scratch; Helfid not leavethe spoL'lnirdespite
the suffocating dust worked vigorously to get
out the wounded and dead. ■
Major Kelly, of Fredericksburg, was con
versing with Mr. Aylett when the crash com
menced, aud says Aylett was killed by a beam
from the gallery. The larger number of deaths
occurred among those persons who were stand
ing under-the gallery. I) r. Brock was just in
reach of it, sitting at the table writing, when
tlie same beam that killed Aylett struck him.
He was breathing when brought from the
riiiifSj' but died in a few miuutes.;
The scenes on Capitol Square were .such as
cannot be described. ’ln se,vfiral " instatices

One was sosliocked IhaT'it is- scarcely hoped
that she can live through the day, and another
is insane, with hut little hope of recovery.
A member of the Legislature describes the
fall as follows:
' “1 heard a low, rumbling sound, and felt
myself sinking rapidly. 1 was facing-the gal
l ;ry, and saw it falling towards me. Fortu
nately it did not leach me. I saw men scram
bling over each of lief' in the gallery, and heal'd
what seemed to be one unearthly yell of agony,
which seemed as if sent up from one mouth.
Then came the crash, and I sank intojdaikness;:
I found myself under a mass of rubbish, with a
-dead-body over me, and-a wounded man under
me, and another at my side. The poor fellow -
under me said : ‘ Oh, my! if.l could only fear
God always as Ido now. How wicked I have
been all my days. Oh, God! forgive me 1
Spare me,-and l: will —be a~true—follower of
Jesus.’ The man at my side exclaimed: 4 Oh!
death, where is thy sting? Oh! grave, where
is thy victory ?’ 1 heard a number of cries all
about me. Some were speaking about their
wives, others of their children, while others
were begging for air. I believe many of .the
men died from suffocation, for, althongh but
little hurt myself, 1 should have died from suf
focation if 1 had not been removed when I
as.” ;

dent concerning Dr. Brock: “I wassittingdte
hind Dr. Brock and fell under him. flay with
my mouth to his cheek, and could feel him
growing cold. He,asked my name, and when
1 told him Who I was, he said : 1 l am dying;
tell my poor wife how much I loved her and
thought of her in my last moments.’ ”
Telegrams of sympathy, offering help for the
afflicted,.are coming in from all parts of the
country. A citizen of New York has given
authority to a gentleman here to draw $l,OOO
for the relief of the sufferers.
A telegram from Alexandria announces the
death, from sorrow, of. Mrs. Brewer, wife of
one of the'victims.
An experienced architect has reviewed the
plan of the Capitol building, and says that the
girder which gave way was composed of two
pieces of timber, bolted together, making,
when combined, an area of 13 Uy 20 inches.
It was formerly supported by columns, which
were subsequently removed to improve the
appearance of the hall of the House of Dele
gates. In the centre of the girder was a mor
tise, which reduced the available strength to
O’ by 20 inches. The fatal error was in
making interior changes without examining
the girders with reference to their capacity to
endure the neW stress placed upon them.
Kicbmokj), April 28.—There have been
about twenty-five, additional funerals’ this
evening,-a majority—of- which -took—place—ia
pairs. Hearses could not be obtained for all of
them, and furniture
draped, had to be used. While tile funeral of
Mr. Aylett was going on five processions passed
the church. The funerals of John M. Turner,
a little page in the House of Delegates,,and
rowhattan Roberts, took place from the Monu
mental Church at the same time. The General
Assembly attended the funeral of young Tur
ner in a body, the pages of the nouse acting as
pall-bearers, and the scene was very affecting.
.There were none present who were not in
tears, young Turner was a bright,'handsome
boy, about thirteen years old, and universally
beloved. The funeral of Mr. Aylett took place
from St. Taul’s Church, and the building was
not crowded, the people seeming to have ac
(piifed 'ti rively lharof crowded-houses, The
streets about the church were crowded.
Major Calvert, late State Treasurer, makes
the following statement :
“1 w as in i be clerk's office, just under the
gallery,looking through a window in the court
room. Standing by my side were Maury,
Roberts and Baldwin. T was nearest the door
leading out. A friend of mine started to come
in, and be remarked, 1 1 will not stay here ; it
is much,safer outside than it is inside.’ He
stepped out of the door and had hardly disap
peared when the crash came. I tried to get to
the door, and lujd almost made ray escape
when I was borne-down into the "darkness be-"
i low, 1 hardly remember anything but the con
| fused din of voices aiid falling timbers, and
found myself entirely covered, my loft side
| seeming to he nearly crushed, but my fight
| arm was free, nnd with this I removed the rub
bish from about my head, and was thus
enabled to breathe. 1 was released in about
three-quarters of an hour. My left leg was
badly broken, and my left side bruised.”
Mns» Meet Ini;.
In pursuance of an announcement a mass
meeting of citizens was held in the square this
noott. About 4.000 were assembled on the
swaid.south.of .the. Capitol, and. on the portic'o
were gathered the General Assembly and
many prominent citizens. Governor .Walker
presided and addressed thn meeting as follows:

I prny God, my fellow-citizens, that .during
the remainder of my life and your lives, our
eyes may never again rest. upon, a scene; so, ap
palling and heart-rending as that wo witnessed
here yesterday, where, when all was life and
,h ope, over fifty of ;our fellow-citizens, .in a
hnomeiit/withbut warning or preparation, were
suddenly.-.plunged into eternity. It was, in
deed, my fellow-citizens, one ■ of the' awful
’sights 'which rend the hearti which language
falls to describe, add which has to be witnessed
:to be appreciated. On a solemn 'occasion like
‘ 'tliis"jit, ,js fitting that we should appeal to the
Throne of Grace for aid and succor in this our
time of .affliction. . •
The Rev. DivHdge then offered prayer, and
a Committee.. on Resolutions was appointed,
headed by Judge W. Wi Crump, and the foj-,
lowing resolutions were then'adopted:
With hearts ernsbed and bleeding; with a
mournful and overwhelming sense of our be
reavement, we have assembled to testify our
Sorrow, for the dead; to offer our tenderest and
■deepest sympathies to the living, and to mingle
ourteats with the stricken households over
which the'Angel of Death has so. suddenly
passed. With heads bowed in reverential awe
before the Great Disposer of 'events, we con
ftmplate with shuddering anguish the fearful
and terrible catastrophe which has hurried into
The fearful disaster which has brought lamen
tation and' mourning to us all,- with
out distinction, has, in the universal sorrow
which \ it has diffused, touched that chord of
sympathy among jus which makes all mankind

fined alone to this mourning city, but it has
left its sombre shade throughout and beyond
the limits of Virginia. 7 ‘ln' the capital, of our

these were the inevitable hazards of war, to
those who stood upon the perilous edge of bat
tle, and though Nature could fain have tears of
anguish to flow, y.et there was wanting to our

Resolved, That we mourn with: profound
sorrow the loss which our. State and our city
has suffered in the death of her citizens ; that
we offer with saddened hearts and: tearful eyes,
our profound sympathies to the bereaved and
to the sufl'eriug,-and fervently pray that as their
days of affliction are, so may their strength be.
Resolved, That Wednesday next, May 13d, be
set- apart as a day of humiliation, prayer, and
religious services, on which day the people of
the city are requested .to assemble in. their re
spective places of public worship, at such hours
as may be designated by the clergy, who are
respectfully invited to cooperate in the pur
poses of this resolution.
The Judge followed in a few remarks.
Judge Ould spoke forcibly of the horrors of
the scene of yesterday, the dead and dying, the
horrid pit where old and young were mingled,
some crushed out of all semblance of human
.. ity, and contrasted the beauty of the day with
the grief of our people, and said Richmond
was like “Rachel weeping for her children,
and would not be comforted because they were
not.”
Mr.A.H.Kelly briefly addressed tlie meeting,
alluding in the. most affecting' terms to the
death of little JohaM. Turner, one o"f the pages
of the House.
Henry A. Wise drew a vivid picture of the
horrors of'yesterday, and, in alluding to the
fraternal spirit which animated the sufferers
and workers on the occasion, asked why such a
spirit should not continae to animate us all?
The meeting then adjourned, with a bene-,
diction offered by the Rev. Dr. Hoge.
The streets are as still as on a Sabbath.
Active measures are on foot for th£ relief of the
destitute families, and contributions are offered
from all quartern.
—This afternoon has been one of ftmerals.— In
some of the churches three or four bodies were
before the altar at the same time. Many of the
ministers denounced the.carelessne.ss of modern
architecture, which placed in jeopardy'the lives
of citizens. In nearly every principal street of
the city funeral processions were going out to
the cemeteries. All business was suspended-
The Dixputch , State Journal, aiid other news
paper offices, were hung in mourning. The
flags on the Capitol and Custom-house, and all
public buildiDgs, and on all vessels in the
harbor, were at half-mast. The railroad trains
coniing,to the city were covered with emblems
of mourning, and many of the trucks and carts
through the streets were also so covered. At
all the funerals the old organizations to which
the deceased were attached turned out, and at
one of them the State Grand Division of the
Sons of Temperance, now in session here,
followed the corpse to the cemetery.
At a late hour this evening no more, of the 1
wounded had died, and their condition was no
worse. 1
Governor Walker to-night
gram fShnouncing that the Illinois Constitu
tional Convention had to-day adopted resolu
tions expressive of regret at the calamity in
Virginia, and had adjourned out of respect to
the sufferers. A suitable reply was sent by the
suflerers, thanking Illinois on. behalf of the
State of Virginia. "- 1 ■
A despatch to the Enquirer- says that Fred
ericksburg has closed her business houses, the
lire bells were tolled all day, and the merchants
were arranging to raise funds for the sufferers
here. " . ' <
A Berlin letter has the following: “Mr.
Brown, Secretary to the Chinese Embassy
brought to Europe by the late Mr. Burlingame,
lias been here for some days,and is to leave im
mediately for St. Petersburg. Since the death
of the late chief the mission has been repre
sented by the two native diplomatists.. .These
will shortly proceed to Brussels for an exchange
of declarations or explanatory notes similar to
those which passed at Berlin between Count
de Bismarck and Mr. Burlingame. Some
journals of Ber)in have announced that Mr.
Brown was to. remain here for some time-to

It* is told by a PehtonVille preacher. There
was in his;.dlstr.ipt a smoker who had ruined..-
himself by his “ bottle and pipe.” One day, it,
appears, he; was' disputing with his wife pn
the subject, and, filially yielding, he promised
that he would never again smoke, adding:.
“If I do not keep my promise, may I lose
my eyes; may I lose the use of my limbs;
may my blood turn to corruption.” The rev

OBITUARY.
Alexaadre Thomas Marie,
The death of this prominent French states
man and lawyer, once Minister of Public
'Works and President of the Assembly under
thejproyisional Government of 1848, occurred
in Paris yestsrday; M,- Marie was born at
Auxerre, Yonne, February loth, 1797; was
educated at the college in that city, studied law
in Paris, and became a member of the bar of
the Cour Royale in 1819. He rose rapidly in
his profession, and in a few years took rank
among the first advocates in France. Xn 1830
he' was elected a member of the council of
his order, and wsa re-eleotod annually for
thirty consecutive years. He gained great
■eclat in 1833 by his defence of M. Cabot, who
" waa prosecntedXor hls work unon the rovolu
tion m 1830. He also defended Pepin, the ac
complice of the assassin,-Fieschi. ThejpoUti--
cal arena likewise had its attractions for ,M.
Marie. He entered the Chamber ol'.Deputies
in 1840, and was re-elected for several terms.
He took his place with the opposition, and
in the revolution of 1848 was an ardent Ite
publicab, though not so extreme in his views
as Rollin and Louiß Blanc. Under the pro
visional government he was the first Minister,
ot Public Works and afterwards ■ President-; of 1
the Assembly. After the election of Napoleon,
as President, M- Marie United himself closely
■with the Democratic party. He opposed the
Roman expedition and the general policy of
the Prince President.. The.success of the em
pire forped him from political 'life, but he re
sumed bis old position at the bar and : gained
renewed’distinctlou. In 1863 he was returned
to the CorpsXegislatif as an opposition candi
date, from Bouehes-du-Rhone, by a large ma
jority, of votes. M. Marie, who published some
works, was also a frequent contributor to the
leading French reviews.
A Guide’s Speech.
1~ Mr. Edward King writes to the Boston Jour
j nal this version of his guide at the Cologne
j Cathedra!, of the story of the eleven thousand -
[ virgins of Cologne: 4 - '
tYou zee, Mezzieurs, de virshin’s was come
down de Rhein mit a small boat from Eng
dandt, yen dev went must Can’t go to Rome,
dor the peelgreeinage,' uhd' de Pope he pleased
'em. Und ven dey was come nach Cologne,

Voundt be married no how mitout deir own

i This, an average specimeii of guides’English
lL Xtkeir French’ is much worse), explains the •
touebing taie rather more even,
| than do the antique - frescoes,-which are quite
| disgusting.' The explanations (by' guides) of
: the stained glasses in the Cathedrals would
i alsoniake a spicy paragraph., Cologne has a
j number -of singular sayings about: its noted'

and the column on which stands, airily poised,
