The fourth general mesting of the creditors of the Home Insurance Company was held yee- terday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, in the United Btatea Circnit Covrt-room, under supervision of the Register. The Assignes presented his re- port, showing the condition of the Company ever since the fire. He mcconnted for the delsy in closing the estats. by the fact that {he Company’'s books were burned, suad that fres remort had been hsd by creditors to legal proceedings, which hnd causel grest delay. The Assigues ihen said be had bven suthorized to sell some of the Company's asseta, ana asked to hsve the di- rection of the creditors as to his foture course with the uncollected assets, there being two ways to convert them,—one to put them in judg- ments, azd sell the judgmeats; the other to foreclose the mortgagea securing them, and get the money in that way. The following is the synopsis of the report : ‘Total Total disbursements Total abilities.. Total asssts, including OlCuuraanesnnn: Amount on hand.. ver Amount dus but unclaimed on foymer div- mm‘:' 10 be divided a} present meeting. 3 Mr. Holden, the attorney for the Assignee, then began selling the notes and judiments which had been ordered to be sold, A large number of notes for amounts ranging from §4.75 to §750 wero soldBall but twoto J. N. Witherell, the whole bringing $356.20, while their face value was $2,833.65. Among these were some notes for §1,350, all secured by trust deed, which ouly bronght £332. A curious incident, 28 showing the manner in which insurance com- panies Bometimes do busineas, ocoarred in the sale of two notes—one by a James Dickivson for $700, the other for $50 by J. J. Kearney, & batlifin Judge Rogers’ Court. Each of tbess notes was given for a loan made by the Company to the maker on proposed loans which were never effected, probably owing to some de-~ foct in the real estate offered as security, No security was gfveu for the advance, and now the most persistent search fails fo reveal say- thing of Mr. Diclinson, who, as & craditor ro- marked at the mesting, *'is just $700 ahead,” whila the otier, J. J. Kearney, was ssid to be execntion-proof. Mr. Dickingon’s note was sold for 85 cents to Mr. Witherell, aud Kearney's note, or rather réceipt, went for $2.60, to the ‘same party, A judgment sgainst William A. Hertng, obtained on stock owned by him, wag from 20, by low degrees, and Sually went for 81,000 to Abrabam Hart. As Mr. Herting was ranzed at nothing, the pur- chaser must have had some oceult mode of real- 1zing from his venture. A judgment for £3,252.05, against John Hea- noy, secared by trust-deed on a piece of land 50 feat Bquare on the comer of Clinton_and Harri- eon streets, was next put up, and sold for 2,045 to Peter Toomey. Lot 83 in Block 16, of Phillipa’ Subdivision of the 8. W. X¢ of Sec. 81, 88, 15, was sold for 12, and Lots 85, 37, 88, 89, 40, 41, and 42 of the same subdivision for §0.10 each, to Mr. Heele- man. A dwelling-house and lot on the vorthwest corner of Aberdeen and Harrison strests was offered, with the statement that s party not present had offered £9,000, and, no one appearing to wish to advance on that figure, it was not sold. A judgment for £178.20 egainst 0. B. Chladek brought £25, and one for $187.75 M. Schoell went for €5.10. The last as- set was a judgment for £191.85 agamst Huogh which Mr. Witheroll took ia for $10. On the basis of the £58,000 on hand,a dividend of 3 per cent was declared, which will be payable in about ten dsys. The Assignes has atill abont $62,000 in notes and claims which he is collacting a8 fast a8 ible, bat which it was not deemed best to sell now. The aales made yeaterday wers of desperate debts. ‘The ramaining assets will be converted into cash dunicg the suwmer, if possi- bie, and a final aividend of about 8 per cent will be declared in fhe fall. - % —— THE PUBLIC LIBRARY, MEFTING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

McClufi; stated that the Constitution pro- vided for asemi-annusl review on the first Mon- day in June, but owing to the fact that the Gov- erpor dosired to review the regiment dwing this month it was thought prop- et to do away . with the regular parado. Under these circumstances he consmd- ered it as emipently proper that two regi- menta drills sbould take place, aud he desired that all the companies should then turn outin full.

COLE & CO. I TROUBLZ. A businesd suspeosion of considerable magni- tude took place on South Water street dsy befors yosterday. Tho unfortuvate house was thatof T. F. Cole & Co., No. 93 South Water street, who deal largely in provisions, nnd also transact a'commission business. The failure did not be- come generally known oo the stree: until yester- day, when the storo was visited by many of the creditors who were avxious to learn its extent, and the prospects for realiziog npon their claims. The firm attributes its suspeusion to the fail- ure to carry throngh a corner on lard which has been manipulated by severa! Bonrd of Trade men for the past month. Messre. Cole & Co., relying upon the strength of the operators to corner the lard market, mvested hearily, and for » time there was a fafr prospect that their ven- tare would reslize coasiderable profit. The Iarge receipta of hogs during the last two weoks, and the conseguent increase jn the lard producs, caused a decided decline in the price, the corner collapsed, and the firm was obliged to suspend. Their jiabilities are about $40,000, which con-~ sist of “ differences " resulting from the failure in the corner sod of merchandise bills. The latter they expect to be able to pay without much delay, and the other claims they ara de- termined to mest if given time. ‘Lheir aasets, they think. will cover their liabilities, thoagh they canpot bs made available immediately, A good deal of money is due them from count: customers. All of thewr creditors express mucl sympatuy for them, and they ara inclined to give all the time the firm requires. Messrs. Cole & Co. aro an old-established firm of undonbted integrity. They passed through the fire and the panic gncceesfully, and think they will extricate themselves from their present ulties. ——— LOCAL LETTERS. SALARY OF TEACHERS. To the Bditor of The Chicaco Tridune : Cmcaco, May 28.—The question of the sals- riea pald to public-school Principals is being ex- tensively sgitated by persons intereated; this ahall bs the apology, if suy is needed, for intro- ducing the subject of -the relative pay of assist- ante. At present, the head assistant, in every school where one is employed, receives $1,000 a year, the highest of assistants’ pay, probgbly bscauss the first grade class nuder her charge, preparing for the High School, is considered to be the most important claes in .the school, involving greater responsibility, and longer experience on the part of the teacher than any class below it Farther than this, she has charge of the records of the school,—no inconsiderable part of her daties, a8 any one cdn testify who has i the very infricate systom l;quhiah Lh:!xw‘t?’l:: Z{} the publia schools are kopt.

In this thers is a manifest injustice. In tho woik alone of the grammar grades, as compsred with the primaries, there is cnougn difterence to warrant & considerable difference of pay. The ‘primary teacker dismisses s portion of her pupis 0 each recess, and is thus relieved of atlenst half her work and suoxiety for the rest of the session. 8he can finish all her work _duriog Achool honrs, and finish it well. The studies pursued in the lower grades ara of such. a naturs that they do not permit of much work being done by the teacher, excapt while the pupils are with Ler, 50 that at 4 o'clock, or a fow minntes past, she can, if sho feel so disposed, Jook her school-room door, hang up her keys -with the sraditional “*sigh of relief,” which we teachers'so often boar of, zod (be it said to oor credit) so seldom hear, and turn her steps homeward, thus makiog school hours comprise her eptire working day. With the grammar toacher, the case is eutirely duffersnt, Let her work as faithfully as shecan, the days are few and far betweocn on which sho can feol at the close of school that her day's work 18 done. 2 Itis impossible to accomplish well what is now expected of a teacher in 20y of the higher grades within the limits of tho #chool-day, If Bhe wishes to aitain to that degree of success which avery real teacher aspires to, she must come early and stay late,- She_must come eariy, because bafore school a great deal of time must be spent jn writing on_the black-boards, the topics for the day, 1n_selecting from the great storebonss of knowledge, and arranging into suitaple and palatable shape the daily bread to feed all the active brains thay look to her. for snstepance, The backward pnpils, who come eatly for apecial instruction, must bave - their = weak or unwiling feot guided from the level plain of thewr Ppresent. intelligence, up the steep cliffs and over the many stumbling-bioox whioh bes.t the ldng and devious road to ths Temple of Learning, too often typified in the mind of the averago pupil by that stonerbuilding on Woat Monros street. After school, when the doubting, dreamiog, inguiring onee who have gladdened or saddensd her afl day fong have nsked their iast questions or made their last statemerits, and after a short spasm of indecision bave finslly made their se- tection of text-books for the evening study (for they, too, must work out of school hours in or- der to succeed), and have gous home, then she bogins a thorough looking over and cor- recting of writing-books, spellers, examples in mental and practical arithmetic, and sny miscellaneous written work that she may have felt it necessary to require of her papiis. This daily, the Iast of the week or the mouth, if het olass is wall advancad ia the grade, bringa with 1t extra written examiuations, uati, if she hanga up ber kova aud shakes the dust of the schoul- room (or tries to) from her skirts bafore § o'clock, it is an indication either tost she is ».very rapid worker, or thut she tages some of her ‘‘papers bomo to corract by gaslight. But the actusl amount of labor done is not the only basis upon which this particular branch of industry should bs pall, ,In teacaing, mare, perbaps, than io most other kinds of laoor, the oxcelipice of the work is in direct proportion to the experience of the individuals engaged in it. ‘I'be grammar-teachers are, or should 0o, those who, by long tnal, have proved themselves com- petent to fill places of responaubility. 1t must bo obvious even to the most careless observer, that to teach a very few simple branches, and to properly control mall childraa, does not requirs theexparience nor the constant thought and. care that it does to teach clagses ‘whose lessons include the greatest variety of subjects and whose inciination to learn things wrong, or to learn nothing st sll, is often so firmly grounded, by the tame they are of & B ble age for the grammar grades, as to - ca: 3 feeling of surprise to mingle with the nataral sensation of aunxious discoursgemsnt that such cases awaken in the teacher’s mind. Aside from these. considoravions, which per- baps aromore valid to the teacher than to otbers, unless the pay of the grammar teachers is made more_to correspond with their greater Iabor gud experionce, the dificulty esen now appatent of flling such positions with eficient teachers witl certainly increase, aud thers will ensae, in con- sequence, an 1nevitable depreciation 1 the qual- ity of tho teachiog. 1t may be that there are, na wae often hear said, plenty of teichera to be had, Dt the supply of good teachers willing to wors for insufficient pay ia not in excess of the de- mand at present, and excellent teachers are needed in grades whers the instraction ana example of one incompetent teacuer may do mdore harm to tho immacture judgment and par- tially founded characters of her pupils than many subsequent yoars can eradicate. oo CHICAGO COAL-FIELDS. To the Editor of The Chicago I'rivune : Cmicaco, May 29.—Your * Commissioner ™ kaving reported me in your lsat week’s issue as having fonnd o large Yein of coal, which I tried to bide from overy one’s eyes, I first thought of ignoring the injustice donsme. Bat since dar- 10g the week a large number of people came to fill their pockets with coal found upon the ground " (but really not mined there), aud my time was taken np 8o much by pooplo in search of information, that I fear its conticuation would reguire an *‘ immense coal-mina " to ro- compense me for lost time. I take the liberty of stating, for the benefit of several who alresdy have sunk several hundred dol.ars in the vain atternpt to find & coal-mioe in the vicinity, and for others contemplating the same, that asye 1 have not had the luck to strike s * bonanza " coal-mine, and that which your Commissioner nas mustaken for large heaps of coal were large heaps of blood, accumulated in the conrse of business,and to be removed a¢ ounce. Fur- thermors, the * misterioua” comfort at my works end bome during tho seasou of low ther- mometer appers less mysterious when viewed through my numeroua coal bills, open always for yoar inspection. Ideem it my duty, in the interest of truth, to warn people of tho nselass waste of money 1a drilling in that vicinity for *tveios of coal,” and for iovesting or paying fabulous p:1ces for *‘ coal-lands, ' consisting prin- cipally of sand and mosquitoes. Ail the lands I care about having in that yicwity I have, and have had secuied for a long time pist, 80 pray do not think, like your Commissioner, that [ wisn fo myutify you. « J. M. Hrmsm, SALARIES OF ZALE AND FEMALE TEACHERS, To the Kditor of The Clacago Tribune? ~CH10AGO, May 29.—Benedict's argument is not. 80 nawas he seems to think,—being the old fa- miliar acqusintance without even the merit of & new dress, in fact with tha' old one quite worn and tbreadbare, So much’logic bas been wastad upon the abutract question of what ought to be, and s0 many fine-spun thoories torn to cobwebs by coltision with facts, that any attempt to patch up a consistent and ** permonenc ™ theory of ‘the respective spheres of men and women seems 2 waste of time. Twenby years ago it was seriously doubted whether a woman could keep a winter-school in the country. In fact, there were soms town- ships where it wag doubtfal whether even a man could ‘‘keep” a echool. For three consecutive winters the large boys in one school had whipped the maater aod put him out of doors. One- of the youths preserved as s tropby the rawhide wrested from the hands of the foe. As » last resort a woman wes brought into the school, mors in the hope that tbe large boys would give up going to echool and leave the temple of learning for the advantage or the. ohildren, than with -sny ides of quelling their insubordivation, But young America would not surrender its .right to be ed- ncated even though 1t were only by & woman, The big boys, one stalwart six-footer; one a carpen- ter by trade, a third engaged to be married to one of the large girls, all walked cver to the school-housa the t day, and took their seats, on mischief bent. But they dia not put the mia- tress out, or go out themseives. To the aston- 1shment of the community, they settled down, in some unaccountable way, into paaceable sub- jects, and, . as the . lady asserted, became ber cordis! supporters in the government and diecipline of the school. That woman received $20 per month for her winter's work ; the men had received from 835 to 840 for theirs. Bhe is (or was at last accounts) teachiog suil. They.(at least two of them) have gone into oth- er business. A few years ago it was asserted that a woman could ‘not ?ccautmly conduct a large city school. Now thera ‘are hundreds of such schools admirably tangbt and fiovsrned by women Principals,—the most faithless skeptica concerning the experiment being fully converted byita resalts. What the ideal society wonld bs when men shonld do ail the earning of money and women be only spenders, it ia not neceisary to discass, while in Chicago alone there ara 80 many mar~ ried Wwomen who teach school for a ltving. Thecry 18 ome thing, fact quite another. W ight speculate a8 to what the effeat would be on the schools if all the women were romoved and their fix:m supplied with men, but we shonld not ba ikely to arrive at any condlusion. As Bene- dict states it, the question is merely one “of = judicions combination of and feminineinfiuence.” = Up to the present tims, ‘wherever the fomining bas been ad- mitted into the schools 1t is ackuowledged fo bave been for good. Undoubtedly 21t would be an evil to haye it preponderate, aé it has beon an evil to have the masoulino influsnce preponder- ate. Supply and demand, 8 has been suggested, will bo likely to regulate the matter. When women will do just s good or better work for Joss moner, they,will be likely to get the work, unless discrimination ia made in favor of men. If women teachers prove failures, they will lose the chances to teach. Thoorotically, women shonld be less permanent than men-teachess. Prachiecally it is not so. . Pretty carefully com- piled statistice, especially in the older citifes, and in the higher grades of schools, show that fewer women leavo the profession than men—and 28 & rule the women found at work in toaching at middle life sre smong the most capable and intellectaal of the sex; teaching having been, till of lats, tho only opening for an ambitious woman. ' But the o teachers of public schools are often -persons: of moderate talent who take up teaching because they have no reasonable hope of making a living at any- thing else, or mercly engage init tgmpnn.nij with a view of payiug their way to a higher ixo— fession. . . MORE BUNKO. To the Editor of The Ghiccoo Tribuns s Cricaoo, May 29,—Now, I do protest against all these invidious distinctions.
