Mr. Borges was directed to see that the manufacture of the furniture, especially with regard to the choice of the wood, having duc consileration to the climate of Brazil. Yesterday morning Mr. Borges, accompanied | by Mr. William Ballantyne, visited the Franklin school building, and the distinguished visitor was escorted cB h the building by Super: tendent Wilson and Trustees Hart, Stuart, and Harris, and the whole machinery of the public schoo! system was fuliy explained. The object of the visit was not so im witnessing the regular school exercises as for the purpose of examining the furniture and the | use to whieh every article is put. The explana- tion was most full and thorough, and Mr. Borges was impressed, es eyery other visitor has been, with the excellence of our system. He will, at some future day, visit the schools to witness ‘the class exercises, and will give his government the benefit of all he may see and hear. Many reasous have been given why Congress and the national government shonld be liberal toward our school system, and this visit of the | Brezilian Minister furnishes an opportunity to advance an additional reason—the presence here of representatives of all nations, and the | faet that all the wo-eld seems to be directing its | attention to public education. Our schools are naturally looked toto furnish models. Only a | few months ago the members of the High Jolut : sion visited the schools, and took mach rest therein. Last week we had a delegati: Japan, and now the great empire of So: America seeks light on the subject. Is it 1 sume, theretore, that the schools alot the United States are to becom: eis tor the public schools of the world? They become, therefore, of more than local | importance—they assume a@ national import- sce, and Congress should not fail to make such | sppspriation'taa extend such aid as will bring | our schovis up to the most perfect standards. 8 | the mod ees Transfers of Real Estate. ‘The following transfers of reai estate have | heen filed sinee our last report in the effice of the Recorder of Deeds: March 22.—W.

CommittEp Fir- —On the Iith of May, 1857, a prize fight took place between two young rat- bamed Marphy and Courtney, in the . 243 Water street. The two men were seconded by James O'Donnell, aged 21 yeur-, residing with his aged mother on the coruer of Oliver and Cherry streets, and Michael Hayes, both of whom imbibe: freely, and, as usnal under like circumstances, a quarrel scon ensaed which was kept up for some little time in the street. From words the combatants came to blows, and from blows to the use of knives, when Hayes plunged his knife into the abdomen of his adversary. who fell to the ground. and was thence removed to the New York hospital, where he died the next day. At the inquest Held by Coroner Connery thesjury held Hayes respon sible, and declared one Thomas Hayes as an ecessory before the fact; but neither party cov'd be brought to justice, th ving left the country. All efforts to secure the accused proved unavailing; and the case, like so many others was forgotten. Michael Hayes, who ine. mediately after the murder had fled to Cali- fornia, thought that the case was forgotten, re- turned at last to the Empire City, where he was wet in the street by a brother of his victim, who instantly recognized him. Atter havin, learned the whereabouts of Hayes’ residence, Donnell prevailed upon the district attorney to lay the case before the grand jury, the old indictment having, meanwhile, lost its torce by limitation, and Haves was indicted anew. Yesterday even ing Hayes was arrested on the bench warrant, charging him with murder in the first de; a and ‘detained at police headquarters. ©. ¥° Standard, 2eth. Hornip.e Arrarr tx Oris, Mass.—On Fri- day evening last, at Otis, Mass., there occurred one more of that long list of uni slaughters by the criminal practice of “fooling” With firearms and pointing at people “in sport” The foolishness of such acts is beyond the power of words to describe, and it is a criminal tolly results in death in himdreds of cases. The pa ‘cular cause ot this criminal folly was one Philo Clark's. He hada gun in his hand. He fays he had cleaned it out with water and sup. pesed it to be empty. His sister, Mrs. Ellen urner, who had come into her brother's house with her husband and her little daughter to make a call; sat near by, with” her husband. Clark’ was in conversation with them, and was holding the gun in bis hand ‘The little girl asked what be was going to do with it. “Shoot your mother,” said he, and ‘the gunather head. “Take aim, ‘aid the lady, and her daughter ran and glaspcd her arms around her mother’s nee The next moment Clark tired, blowing sister’s head in pieces. and injuring the tittle girl's arm 9 that amputation will be necessary. “He had no evil intentions. being on the best of terms with Mrs. Turner, and is overwhelmed with grief.” He is a steady, industrious man in the employ of the Gold Spring Iron Comp; Mrs. Turner was only 22 years of age, and daughter is 6.

Henri Rochefort fell. something of his prison life in a letter to Victor Hugo. “After congratulating M.

We walk all day round a circular plat form with no other excitement than seeing the weathercock shifting from southwest to nort west. However, to-day we have been feact y excited. Four soldiers fell into the sea and would probably have all been drowned if two convicts had not, at the first alarm, rushed in at the risk of being swallowed up in the heavy surf, and succeeded in rescuing two of then. The most curious fact is, that it was precisely the two men who were firtt sentenced to death, Viel aod Gentelet, who, like the great criminals that they are, did not hesitate to risk their lives to rescue soidiers who had been set to guard them. All the right-principled newspapers will, of course, point out the detestable conduct of th communists. I may add that the sal lieutenant in command of the party also lea into the waves to assist in saving his men, unfortunately two of them are still in the oj sea. 1 beg of you to send me newsof everybo. eee A Lrsson IN Mopern BLack-MatLing.—The other morning one cf our wealthiest bankers, as he was sitting down tothe breaktast table, was told that a lady wished to see him in the recep- tion room. He went in and found a middle-age Woman standing in the middle of the floor. -I want,” she said, “a thousand dollars in monc and T want it now. I want a place in your ban! ing-house for my nephew, worth $2,590 a year.” ‘+I shail give you neither,” was the reply. “Then Tt come down to vour banking-house and de- nounce you, and | will also ‘Soecunse you to our wife.” The banker rang his bell, and av e servant appeared, he said, “Ask my ‘wife to sep im here, and send in the coachman.” They bo by! ayes about the same time. The coach- man ws ordered to go for the police. To hi- wife the gentleman said, You have often heard of a black-mailer; I want you to look at one.” The word police was enough for the visitor, and she burried out without standing upon the order of her going — New Yrrk Letter. ee A TRIAL FoR WitcHcrarr under the old Mesaic law has hardly been heard of in this country since the days of the Pilgrim Fathers; but in’ Louisville, Ky.,a lady has been sum. moned for trial before a Presbyterian session. It seems she has avowed a belief in modern spiritualism, and for this the session cites her to appear, stating her crime to be violations of the first, second and third commandments. No rexporse having been made to this citation, the session serves a formal notice that if accused does not appear at acertain set time an advo- cate wou! assigned her by the body and a trial be preceeded with as if she had appeared and denied the charge. To this the v4 re sponds she will appear at the time set if she may have the benefitor counsel, but otherwise will deem the affair a sham trial and refuse to have anything to do with it. Whether the ecs- sion will permit of counse! does not appear; but it is quite likely such will be the case, and an teresting trial may be thus expected. $$$ Tnx Lesson oF Lire.—A worthy Scotch cou- ple when asked how their son had broken down so carly in life, gave the fullowing explanation: “When we began lite together we worked hard and lived upon porridge and such like, gradu- ally adding to our comforts as our means im proved, until we were able to dine off a bit of Toast meat, and sometimes @ boilt chickie, eee but Jack, our son, he worked back- ward, and began with the chickie first.” A NEW SPECIES OF HORSE DISEASE has made its appearance in Canada, New En ‘and the northern parts of New York.
