The tragic dignity of Mrs. Seguin’s “Gipsy Queen” rather astonished those who have thonght her only fitted for the lighter characters, which she aesumes so charmingly.

They have reference to the white schools, but they apply with equal force to the colored schools. Changes of beoks, perhaps, in them are more frequent than in the White schools, and we can’t see any sense in it. I regard it as an unnecessary and shamefui tax, and one that colored people generally can very illy afferd to pay. Their employment is ot of that remunerative kind thet they have Wore money than what is required by abso- Jute wants of life. Their existence is only aus tained by constant struggle, and but few of them realize more from their labor than a mesgre support, Ihe trustees of our schools sbould have a regard for the circamstances of those whose children are ynder their charge for useful and inexpensive education.

A large number yesterday and to-day availed them- selves of this comfortable and expeditious line, and, as the trains arrived promptly on time at each end of the route yesterday, that being the first day, passengers may rest assured that the time can and will be made. This will be the favorite train this summer for travel via the sound lives, as it makes the best time and con- nections we Bave ever had from here. t ——e—— Aw Urror M Exewptioy.— Last night Officer S.
