As I have? said, pupils are not found in those grades of your supposable class. My obser- vation is that graded schools do not “keep back” pupils. Their defects are, as I judge, in the opposit direction. The exact stand- ing of different pupils can be de termined in each grade by the monthly writ teu examinations. and ambitious pupils and the best scholars in a cl: in their desire to excel, are ant to overwork. As arule, ] have observed that those who complete the s grades and who are the best schola: the brilliant pupils are seldom over 14, oftener 12 or 13 As another rule, I have observed that those who, hay- ing completed the sixteen grades, pass the best examinations for admission to the high-school are notover 14 years of age.

The Case Will Go to the Jury Monday A Spat Between Connsel. In the Stern murder trial yesterday Court sat from 10a. m. until 2 o’clock in the after- noon’ listening to the continuation of Mr. Johnson's argument for the defense; and, as he was then apparently as far from the end aswhen he began, Judge Gardner inter- rupted witha suggestion that the court ad- Journ until 3. o’clock. Everybody was tired ‘out, and no objections were offered. It was nearly 3:39, however, before the jury took their seats, and Mr. Johnson then spoke for exactly ten miuutes and came to a sudden standstill, greatly surprising everybody. Le had been suffering all day .with a severe cold, and was so . hoarse that it was with the greatest difficulty that he was “able tospeak at all in the afternoon. He dia not, however, ask any time or indulzence of the Court on this account, but ceased sud- denly of his own volition, and notified the State’s-Attorney that heehad done. The Court, wishing an explanation of something | in the instructions furnished by Mr, Jobn- sony had a few words privately with hin, at the ‘conclusion of which Mr. Johnson re- sumed his position, and entered a protest against any further adjournments at the re- quest of the prosecution. TheCourt said he had just privately informed Mr. Johnson that he should not require the State’s-Attorney to proceed, owing to the Jateness of the hour. ‘Mr. Mills remarked that the defense had con: sumed nearly seven hours in argument, and thatthe remarks he himself intended to make would necessarily he somewhat lenxthy. He called attention to the hour, Within fifteen minutes of the usual hour for ad- journing the court. . “Mr. Jonnson interrupted by saying that upwards of an hour yet remained; that the Court frequently sat until 5 o'clock. Mr. Mills retorted thaton the day before court was adjourned at 3:30 o’clock simply. to oblige Mr. Johnson. Le did not wish to begin with so short 2 time at his disposal, be- cause the same ground substantially would have to be gone overagain at the next session, which could not possibly be until Monda. In important cases which ran until the ex of a week attorneys had frequently played the trick of CROWDING THE PROSECUTION INTO THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE SPACE of time, but he would not say that it was in- tentionally done in this case. If the Court * were willing to prolong the session until he had finished, it would be midnight or near it before the case could go to the jury, and the Tatter were already tired out with the long forenoon session and the clos¢ attention they had paid througnout the entire week. | Mr. Johnson proposed that the question be left with the jury, and that ther. ‘decide whether to prolong the session until5 o’clock and hear a portion of the State’s Attorney’s reply. - The remainder could be heard at the next session. . The Court remarked once again that the hour was late; that the jury had been de Jayed from their dmner, and were half an hour late in returning to thecourt-room. One of the jurors leaned over and said: “We were back at 3 o'clock.” | Mr. Johnson was on his fect in an instant, and demanded to know where the jury had been during the interim, and why they were delayed. Judge Gardner replied that he _undoubted- dy had the right to inquire into the doings of the jury, but-he did not think that the proper time, As he had said before, he would not require the State’s Attorney to proceed unless he was willing. For his own part he would be pleased to hear from him then, but it was generally the ease that when the argument was subdivided a great deal of time was wasted. ‘ Mr. Mills manifested ina short sneech his . disinclination to proceed. Ile could not fin- ish in one session und perhaps in two. Mr. Johnson remonstrated that it would be no worse to fear the first. half of -the State-Attorney's speech then, than to hear one-half Monday forenoon, and the other in theafternoon. Ile again suegested that THE JURY DECIDE THE QUESTION: Judge Gardner said he would be pleased tobein courtas early as 9 o’clock Monday morning, and then perhaps the State's Attor- ney night be able to conclude before ad- journment. © Throughout the discussion Mr. Jolinson continually, whenever the opportunity pre- sented itself, intimated that the State’s Atior- ney had everything too much his own way. He now, in quite an ‘angry mood, said that ifthe court was to be adjourned until 9 o'clock for Luther Laflin Mills, he wanted it adjourned for himself. “Would you like to continue your argu- ment, Mr. Johnson ?”. queried the Court, “I would Jike to continue at 9 o’clock Monday morning.” was the testy response of 3p. Johnson. ‘Iam in no condition to pro- ceed now,” * **Very well then,” said Judge Gardner, after a moment's thought, ‘let the court be adjourned until 9 o'clock Monday morning for the purpose of hearing further from the detense,”” : ‘The attendance in court was large, larger by far. than it has been on any aay since the trial began, and long after adjournment eruups of people gathered in the room and corridors without-to exchange opinions as to the legal spat which they had just witnessed. <= THE LIVERMORE PEN.

Itis scarcely six months since the opening here of the frst permanent gallery Chicago has had since tho fre of October, 18il—the Lydian Gal- Jery—and the success of that project in attract- ing visitors and in bringlig about the saleof ex- cellent pictures by artists of high standing has been in the bighest degreo encouraging. The fact has been amply demonstrated that Chicago people necd not go away from home in order to buy good pictures, and with it the fact that good pictures can be bdrougnt here and sold at good prices. Scat- tered all through the vast region tributary to Chicago are to be found people in constantly increasing numbers who have become suflicient- ly wealthy to be able to turn their attention to- ward adorning weir homes with works of art, and there is no good reason why Chicago should not supply this grawing demand. itis undoubt- edly true that the absence of uny free gallery for tho display of the artistic productions of America and Europe, as wellas the absence of uny institution. for free instruction in art, operates in - some degree a3 a bar to the success of this city asa distributing point for art pro- ductions—a bar which existsto te shame of Cnicayo and ber weaithy citizens; but the ori- vate galleries and schools, with theirlow rates of admission and tuition, cando much toward overcoming this disadvantage for the present, and are worthy of encouragement and support | at the hands of the public.

Close- jy following comes the Cosmos, an art resort As directly bearing upon the question of de- veloping art in Chicago, a communication given below should command attention. The writer, who is evidently an enthusiast with a practical vein, urges that In devising plans for the erac-* tion of a Public Library bufiding in Dearborn Park provision sbould be made for a free art gallery ang afree school of instruction in art. Jt is argued that there is ample room in Dear- born Park to combine a Museum and School of Art with the Vublic Library, and that the pros- pect of obtaining funds by private contribution purtment. That such aninstitution would con- fer lasting honor ana distinction upon our city no one cau for a moment doubt, and the subject is one which stould commend itself to the se- rious consideration of Chicago's wealthy and public-spirited citizens. The American Art Gallery, located in Central Music-Hall, and under the mariagement of Mrs. M. J. Green, will give a recepticn next Tuesday evening to all artists and members of the press, who are invited without further notice to a private view of the puiuvtings, after which it will be thrown open to the public. The rooms are three in number, connected by arched door- drapery hung over each picture. The furniture of tis room is of ebony: upholstered in crimson brocade and plusb,~ and consist3 of tivo téte-a-tétes of unique design, one or two sofas,and a number of chairs of artistic style. ‘Phe central or reception room, svbich is the first entered from without, is of an‘olive-green tint, the Hoor covered with acurpet of Persiun do- sign, and ligt tables and standgof carved cbony are arranged to hold rare Chit pee vases, one of the tables supporting an imihense plaque of French workinuuship and pecubar beauty. Ad- joining this room is another, finely lighted and carpeted and tinted in a delicate green, the walls of which will be hung with the largest paintings of the collection. Altogether it is as elegant and artistic a surrounding xs can weil bo turnished’ for pictures of the highest class. AS enters “the principal room the attention {3 directed at once to an elaborately-draped life-size portrait of the late George B. Carpenter, which occupies the entire end ‘of the apartment. This portrait was executed by Mr. Frank L. Rockwell from a photograph of the deceased, and, as he has never seen the orizinal, he was obliged ta fol- low tho photograph implicitly—a necessity which can never be quite satisfactory, although ia this case Mrs. Carpenter was 60 well pleased with the result that She at ouce purchased the picture, The artist has represented Mr. Car- penter as standing at the foot of the stairway in the main entrance to Central Music- Hail, of which he wus the founder. Ho wears upon his face a pleasant smile, put there 4s somethtng lacking in the treatment of the Yackground and surroundings which leaves an unpicasant Impression. ‘Turning to either side of tho gallery one sees ata hasty glance that the pictures ure bung low, are beautifully draped, not too crowded, and are, in sbort, Shown to the very best advantage. Among the more notuble paintings iv this room is the {atest.work of Bierstudt, entitled a “Scene un Green Kiver, California.” The canvas isa large one, and shows a soft, bazy mist ‘over dis- tant mountains, trees turning a golden brown in the early autumn, whiic the utter loneliness of the place is expressed by the deer which ure standing = fearlesly by the placid water of the forezround—a lovely picture.of that * glorious climate of California,” although totally unlike the firey sunsets aud vast mount~- ainrangesto which Bierstadt bas accustomed us. “Gates Ajar,” by Jerome Thompson, strikes one at first as too brilliant, but upon further consideration it greatly improves.

For tho erec- tion of a building to, be used for the general public, where they can receive instructiou with- cut money and without price, the wenlthy men of our city would doubtless contribute liberally; and tha Academy of Design {ntend to establish not only a free art gallery, but also free art f Schools, where all branches of-art will be taught under the eyo of- skillful professors, without cost tothe pupil. The plan of the academicians is to construct the building in such a manner as to producé an’ income, which,.when added to what can be realized from commiasions on sale of pictures, etc, etc., asufficient sum can be obtained to remunerate Professdrs, teachers, janitor, Recording Sccretafy, and also pay in- surance, etc. Chicago if fast growing to be the the people are preparmg for Thanksgiving.

GRIFFITH’S VALUATION. The Lana Courts, as a rule, are reducing the rents so that they approximute “Griffith’s valu- ation.” [In many cases they are much lower.— Ep.) This is the Government estimute of the letting value of tho farm and houses of Ireland for tho purposes of taxation. It is called Grifith’s valuaion because the first general valuation during this generation was made by: Sir Richard Gritith. For the purpose of taxation, with some excep- ticns, it is a fairyaluation, butas a standard of rent it is an infamous exaction. For, in Ireland, itis the tenant who bas made all the improve- ments on his “holding” (or little farm); and “-Gritfirb's valugtiun” was founded not on value of the Jand as the landlord Jet it, but as the Assessor found it. Generally, its main fact- ors wero the itnprovements of the tenant, which, in same parts of the North, are the sole property of the tenant under the old Ulster custom. Yet, two years ago, 1 found that the proprietor of the West of Irdand who did uot charge more than 50 per cent over * Griffith's valuation” was looked on as a “decent landlord.” (Gritfith’s vaation” was made fifty years ago, and was ptblished in IS, It was made ag the vatuation of the tarms for cess or tuxation purposes, and,is Mr. HR. says, embraced the vulue of the improvements put on the land by the tenant ‘fhe average rent of land in Ireland, exclusive of Dublin, Cork, Htelfast. and , other large towns, was Ws, 5d4. per statute acre. The total landed rent- ‘ alof Leinster. a& that time, according to nis valuation, Was’ £34 2450; Munster, £53,801,510; that of Ulster, £3, that of ; Connaught, £2236, His estimate of tha , s total rental of Leland was £12, 000: ‘The presert rental of Ireland, on the lan Jord rack-rent grstem, is about £17,000.000, or over $85,000,000.

Rack-renting ig almost universal in Ireland, 1 secured official returns ot reuts from seventeen” counties. Itcost’mouey to gathor these im- portant statistics, and Ihave the only ‘copy in America. They-have never been published in Ireland. * : 1 shall select one or two illustrations of rack- renting from each county to show tho. univer- sality of it, and how inadequate these vaunted reductions ure that Gladstone's Land Court is making. COUNTY CAVAN. Inave twenty-four returns from this county, each return representing a diferent “holding.” Mr. Nixon, landlord, charges Marcus Gwinan, tenant, for mountain land £6; the rental in 1848 was £1 103. Owen Gwinan pays £10 tore tract for which he paid £3 3s. in 1818. Maj. charges John Fiynn about double Valuation.” James Blake charyes tho £24 and £19 for * boldiugs,” of which * G valuations " are £4 15s, and #6 153. respectivel: Other tenants of these landlords are similarly taxed. Lady Lisgur nearly doubles “ Griflith’s valuations "—Widow Farrelly, for instance, pay- ing £16 for a “holding” vatued by Griilith at £3 10s. All the improvements -on those lands wero made by the tenant. The increase in rent rep- resents the tax levied by the landlords on their tenants’ industry and expenditures. COUNTY DONEGAL. The rental of Donegal has been raised since 1800 from £47,000 to £367,000. The increase, also, is bused exclusively on the improvements made by the tenants. Two illustrations will suffice to show how this incrense hus been made. -* Grif- fith's valuation” of the **holding” of Neal Mc- Laughlin (of which Leslie Alexander is landlord) is £16, and the rental is £31 10s. The Goveru- ment valuation of William Donerty’s “ holding” of three acres (J. H. Todd Thornton, landlord) is £2 los., and the rental is £10 10s. COUNTY GALWAY. This Is a very poor county... The landlords are mostly absentees. They are all rack-renters. Omitting the names of the tenants, 80 ww to savo space (although I shall give the names in any particular case quoted to any doubter), I shall select one or two illustrations of the rack-rents ged by the landlords in this county:, Martin charges £2 fora farm valued at Robert W. Waltman charges £28 1hs, for a i Iss. furm valued at £14 10s.. Edward Guilfoylo ehurges £4 for a farm valued at 10s,!— that is, ciyit times Grilith’s ‘valuation of its lett value. I bave alist of ten of his farms, and the total rental is £41, al- though the Government yaluaton is only £13. The rentals ot Robert J. Martin, J. P. Goudboy, «J. W. Fair, the Rey. Willinm Jamieson, and Lerd <Annanny are always nearly or quite double the Government valuation. Col. Clemens (the beir of Lord Leitrim) often triples the rents on his Galway estates. Peter Walsh bas bad bis rents raised by Lord Leitrim tour times since 1849, from £45 to £180, although the Government : Valuation is only £53. Some. ot Leitrim's ten- unts haye bad their rents: raised much higher— -the Widow Walsh, for example, now pays £100 Tor a holding of which tho reot was £15 15s in 18{8; the Government vaiuation is £22. Charles Kilkelly charges double * Griffith’s Valuation,” and he won't allow his tenants to build stables. C. W. Ilullam charges James Sul- livan four times the Government valuation. His other Tenants are charged on an average thrice “Grilfith’s valuation.” Sullivan's rent “was raised 12s a year for having removed from ao fence a few sods, contrary to the “rules of the estate,” although it was sworn to in. court that the value of the sod thus removed was not one hualf-penny. Lord Duodandle charged £13 lis 6d tora farm valued at £5 15s. The rents of. J. D. Meldon’s tenants are more than double the Government valuation. Miss «Hon- orla Monahan's rents are nearly thrice th Government valuation. rd Dundandie, in nadition to extortionate rents, compels bis tenants to draw home his turf with- out pay, which takes each of them three days inthe year, He. allows no guns and no dogs on his estates, and his tenants are. thus further taxed by tho destruction caused by rabbits. Lord Ardilaun was formerly Sir Arthur Guin- ness, the * Dublin stout” man. ‘Ihave ten re- rts from his tenants, and they show that he wg increased their total rental from £4953, which is the Government yaluution, to £60. However, his“object is to get rid of the tenants, not to exact ruck-rent asa revenue.~’’ Charles Vesey, on four farms, raised the rent from £20 15s (Griffith's valuation) to £10 12s, “Lord Ashton churges ex- aetly-double “Griffith's valuation.” ‘The repre- sentatives of the Inte Maj. O'Reilly charge £68 ‘12s for farms valued at 20953. Martin J. Browne charges more than double “Griliith’s valua- tion;". and s0 does John-Morris; and so does George L. Lynch, "=": -? Widows are not allowed to marry again on Lynch's estate on pain of eviction. The tenants are not allowed to keep dogs, although the rab- bits, whicb are vers numerous, do immense damaye to the crops on Lynch's estates. FROURE’S MANTYRED LANDLORD. On Lord Leitrim’s estate tive shillings-was added to the rent on every “change of name. that fg, it the husband died the widow had to pay tive shillings more rent every year for the tarm; and when the son succeeded, at the death of ‘tha mother, the same increase was put on, and the teuant bad to pay the legal cost of the contract also. “No tenant could cut the turfon his own _ 4 holding without permission of the landlord. Be- Louisa de a Pr. O'Reilly.” :Willlam Niscon more than quadruples his valuanon, raising his rents from £19 153.to £10. Mr. Benrisson satis- fies bis avarice by only charging about thrice as much as*Grifith” estimates! “ COUNTY SLIGO. I have thirty-one reports from this county. They cover seven great estates. The average rentals vary from 3 per cent over Grilfith’s to more than double. Pussing over five unknown landlords, T come to two notable names—Sir James W. Mackey, who is well known in Ireland, and Col. King-Hermun, who was selected to. act as one of the committee to disburse the New, York Herald relief fund... Sir Jnmes Muckey\ charges seven tenants £186 for faring valued by “Grillith” at £70 ds. He has raised the rents of these tenants three times. As fast as they im- prove the value of his estate by their own labor, and at their own expense, this noble gentle- man tines thor by an increased rental, to ex- dient his great gratitude tothem! Col. King Herman was extravagnotly extolled as a mode! Arish landlord. For three farms in Sligo this model landiord charges £3 103, although the Government valuation is only £13. COUNTY LIMERICK, Thave fifteen returns. covering seven estates. D. F.Gabbet, M.V., seems entitled to be re- guarded as the boss rack-renter-ot Limerick. He charges £417 193 6d for six farms that are valued by the Government at £172 Ids. The extent of the holdings in acregon Mr. Gabbet’s gqstate is about cqual_ to one-third of -the ‘rent. ‘There is a Mrs. Gabbet, ulso, who charges £204 fot farm of which Gritlirh’s valuation is £72, There is, likewise. an R.J.Gabbet, who taxes three tenants £305 Ms for holdings valued at £15. Mr. Pund (an absentee) churzes Michael Sheehan £400 tora farm valued at £15 ‘The hundlurds themselves are taxed on the Govern- ment valuation, and not on their rents. They thus again “Increase the rents indirectly. by causing their tenants to pay higher local taxes than would otherwise be levied if the landlords were assessed -on their reatuls. In the same way the landlords evade their due share of the imperial taxation. COUNTY TIPPERARY. Thave thirty-four returns from seven estates. ‘Mr. Robert Fitzmaurice on ten holdings bas in- creased his rents until what *Griftith’s valun- tion” estimates at £! 9s he charges 2362 10s for. On hls estates, with very few exceptions, all the rents have been more than doubled ‘since 18s. Richard Walker charges four wretched tenants 22 ls{éd for box-lands—".Grillith’s valuation ”” being exactly £3. Mr. Gladstone's Land Court should redude this man’s rental even one- half, what a bow! of *contiscation” would be raised, or how tha decision would be in- stanced as an illustration of tho fuct'that at 4 last complete justico bad been done to the tenants of Iretand. And yet this rent has-been increased sevenfold by the lundlord, and that, too, on an estimate originatly made’ on holdings all the improvements of which were made by the tenants themselves. The Earl of Normanton charges 50 per cent over the Government valun- | tion. He reuts 1st acres tor £550 lts. 4d.—the |. Government valuation being £27. Lord Wate: 4 charges 30 per cent over “Grillith’s valu ‘Thomas Dowling, 2 Dublin man, has i his rentals from the £97 of “Griitith’s { valuation * to £308 143. A sweet creature of tue | nume of Harriet Armitage understands rack~ } renting as well as if she were one of the sterner sex, for she makes John Mayer pay £45 fora hold- ing valued ut £4. Vulentine Ryan, a resident, charges £53 for a holding valued at Hu. In ad- dition to this ruck-rent he compels bis tenants to do two days “duty work” for hirm—that is, to work. for him two days’ a year without pay, and even without food, Thisisa relic of the feudal Limes that has lingered in Ireland up to within | TWO years. COUNTY WATERFORD. Restdents here are often praised as the most Jenient landlords. I did not fiad it so anywhere. Here, in Waterford, for instance, are three resi- dent landlords—C. E. Kennedy, Bart. who charges one tenant, with a family of eight, £100 for a farm valued at £46; Joseph Power, who ebargds £250 for a holding valued at £110; and Thomas Stephenson, who charges £158 lis fora holding valued at £83 103. “ KINGS COUNTY. Lieut.-Col. Cox forces John Dolan, with a fam- iy of seven, and William McGlyn, with a family. ot weiye, to pay him for tbirty-tive acres £13. only $55 18s. although the Government valuation is COUNTY WICKLOW. : x Vese Coyle charges nearly double “Griffith's valuation.” [f he is an average Wicklow land- lord, no‘wonder that there were so many appli- cations from tbis couaty to the Land Court to | fixe judicial rent. | THE QUEENS COUNTY. John G. Adnir(to whose wholesale evictions, some years since, in Donegal, 1 devoted one let- } ter from that county) has estates in the Queens ; County. He charges his tenants there, some- times double *Griflith’s valuation,” and some- times higher. Maj. Fitzmaurice is content with exacting twice “Gritlith’s vatuaton.” William Clark hus not quite doubled bis rents, but be bus approached within a fraction of it in every case reported. In one more letterI shall complete this re- view of the worst rack-rented counties of Ire- land. ‘These returns show that the Irish bave no reason to be grateful for Mr. Gladstone's Land bill, because, while it does mildly modify land- : lord-exactions. itis making the reductions so disproportionate to whut the increnses have been that they wilt afford no: permanent, or even temporui, relief to four-fifths of the ten- antsin Ireland. National cancers cannut be cured by Parhamentary poor-man's plasters. Even with the recent and much-vaunted reduc- tionsordered by the Land Courts, the Irish in America would still have to pay, as they have paid tor years, more than half of the rcut sof the sinuller holdings in all the West of Ireland. [tis time that. this drain on our National resources should be stopped forever! JAMES REpraTu. <<< $$ Dramatic Entertainment, An entertainment was given by the Saturday Night Clubon the 1th inst., at which gentlemen well known In the dramatic world were called upon tospeak. Mr. Mapleson neing called on sald he had come to regard America as his home, and he intended it to be his. permanent home. He was gind if he had been able to ad- vance the standard of musical art in the United States, and so help to make the-country in that as well as in other respects the foremost in the world. Sig. Rossi made a speech in Italian, in which he said: “Ihave met with unex- pected success hero with my old repertory, ‘and I hope to meet the same kind re- ception in ‘my new ‘one. I ‘am amply ‘rewarded for and more than satisied with my reception.

Dr. “John {Hall was returning from‘a church in Harlem:Sunday evening last he alighted from the front platform of a ‘Third avenue car at Fifty-sixth street before the car had come to a stop. The crossing ‘was muddy, and Dr. Hall fell, striking’ his face on the curb- stone. Dr. Hull's son, the physician, was with him, and he assisted him into a carriage. At bis residence, No.3 West Fifty-sixth street, itwas found that the clergymun’s nose was’ broken on the left side, and that there was a deep gash under the left eye.
