S. Shorb and his wife, Mra. Amanda Shorb, of the Sac and Fox agency, Indian territory. Mrs. Shorb 1s superintendent of the Sac and Fox Manual Labor School, and the charges st her relate principally to the mismanagement of that school. They are signed by A. H. Kirtley, farmer; Belle Stevens, teacher, and Clara Wil- bur, laundress, all of whom claim to have been forced to give up their positions by the brutality of CE Shorb and his wife, and are indorsed by M. E. Milford, clerk; E. B. Fenn, physician; H. H. Wigganhs, blacksmith, and C. Hutchinson, carpenter, at the agency. It is alleged that Shorb has, since October, 1879, appropriated to the use of himself and his family provisions and belonging to the Manual Labor School, including two barrels of seed potatoes, fresh and corned beef, hay, corn, vegetables, peaches, the milk from five’ cows, pillows, pitt low-cases, a clock, a rocking chair, and a number of other articles needed at the Mr. the Mrs. and with havii and teamsters quartered at the mission at the expense of the employé3.

A UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL DINNER SET. ‘The new and beautiful porcelain service for the White House was received there last eve- ning. Itisfromthe potteries of Haviland & Co., Americans, who are located at Limoges, France. In the spring of 1879 an order was given to this firm to furnish the Executive Mansion with a dinner service, which, as It Was to be used only for state occasions, Mrs. Hayes desired should combine elegance with appropriate American decoration. Mr. Theodere aviland called to bis sid Theodore R. Davis, the artist for Harper’s, who undertook the in- vention of designs for shapes and color to be Teproduced In chinaware. The varied experi- ence of Mr. Davis as an artist and as @ student of nature and antmal life peculiarly fitted him for the work. The designs for the service were made in water color, and although in nearly every instance bold and striking they were dfficult to reproduce perfectly upon porcelain with hard mineral color. To successfully ac- one this it was necessary to invent new methods and to have recourse to peculiar mechenical app! A high degree of finish was attained in every piece, Some of the Pieces when singly examined lose a part of their attractiveness, but when placed upon the table the effect is very pleasant and striking. ‘The artists who assisted Mr. Davis were all foreigners. They were Bracquemond and To- cham, from Auteull; Mg pewapcrs sore Paris; Lambert, Se s; Lissac, |, Valette, Charles Ricroch, ‘Barbarin, ‘Laforest, Hayon, Duclair, Dominique and Mile. Anna, of Limoges. The sets are com as follows: A speclat oyster plate; soup plates designed with twel ve subjects: Mountain laurel, the blue crab, In- glan cook of the XV. century, palmetto cab- bage, harvest moon, tomato, green turtle, outhward filght of ducks, clam bake, froz. 6, and okra. The fish series is composed of twelve subjects, which decorate plates shaped exprenaly for this course, and a platter which exhibits a careful study of the shad. The sub- jects are thece: Red snaj pets Spanish mackerel, terrapin,speckled trout, k bass,smelt,striped bass, fresh-water lobster, pompano, brook pike, blue fish, and sheeps-head. The dinner series embraces twelve illustrations besides the plat- ter, The latter has the wild turkey for itssubject. The others are: The may-flower (traliiag ar- butus), bear ina bee tree, male deer, buffalo, coon in a persimmon tree, chickens in a garden, Recearles, Kocky mountain sheep, antelope loativg for deer, crane’s walk ‘round, and on the plains at night. An independent butter late is a part of the service. The game course supplied with a novel platter, with “On Ches- apeake Bay” as its subject. Twelve other sub- jects are alsoin the course: The canvas back duck, rail, ptarmigan’s bath, ruffed grouse, bob white, California quail, wild pigeon, teal duck, yellow-legged snipe, rice or reed bird, the woodcock and pinnated grouse. For the des- sert or fruit plate there is a special design. The different pieces bear twelve subjects:—Chinca- pin nut, in hut, papaw, locust, mocking Dird, maple sugar, Concord rape, huckleberry, od, jaltimore oriole, persimmon, Ohfo'golden r irginia creeper and studio, The after dinner coffee cup and the tea cup complete the set. The form of the coffee cup is derived from a joint of the bamboo stalk; a sprout springing from the eye of the joint serves for the handle. ‘The decoration !s simple but very rich. The cup and saucer are of bamboo color. The tea cup Is shaped like an inverted mandarin’s hat; the handle fs formed by the stem of a tea plant, the leaves of which are used as a decoration for the exterior of the cup. The interior of the cup ts @ delicate green, The saucer is enriched with dead gold. gi ‘The oyster plate is something decidedly new. ‘The colors are laid upon the China clay under the glaze. Fine blue point oyster shells cover the princip: Tvice Of the plate; beyond these is a cluster of raccoon oysters. Sprays of sea~ weed cluster about these and serve for decora- tion. In the background is a glimpse of the ocean. The soup plate is modeled from the Kalmta flower, and is in shape more a ten-sided angular bowl aplate. The outside surface is a delicate pi Each plate has a separat Theplatter which ac- companies the first series is novel ln form, be- ing rectangular, with the corners rolled and en- riched with gold.

The of from the scallop shell, two of which are com bined to form the plate, the shell being designed for the dish and the smaller recet' the ration. The wild turkey is the design for the platter for the dinner series. Upon the surface of the dish is painted a nificent wild turkey, strutting through a light snow, upon which are delicate reflections from his mich plumage. A sunset sky, against which are defined the forms of distant trees composes the back ground. The form of the dinner plates is coupe, surrounded by & narrow The shape is unusal. The twelve illustrations are vigorous in subject, drawing and color. Tae independent butter plate is a close copy of the leaf of the water lily. The surface of the leaf is a tender mn color. Drops of water are on the leat, ‘he pe Plate is in form of a coupe or plaque, Jess in size than the dinner plate. The differ- ent subjects are exquisitely wrought. The fruit plate is modeled from the leaf of tne American wild apple. It is very beautiful. ‘There are over 500 pieces in the set. The Alleged Spanish Outrages. THE FIRING ON AMBRICAN- VESSELS TO BE INVES- GATED BY OUR NAVAL AUTHORITIES. The reports of the captains of the Philadel- phia and Boston schooners recently fired upon by the Spanish cruiser Nuncio are not as full or explicit as the government desires; nor is the Statement im regard to the matter made by the Spanish government accepted as final. In order to get at the exact facts the Navy depart- ment to-day issued ozders that the U.

We may add in passing that the russet brown color in the latter, to which some observers object, is true tonature. It isnot, a8 they sup) intended to represent natural color of the objects themselves, but to show the effect caused by Une red light thrown from a western sky at sun- set. This, as close students of nature know, often seems to obliterate all local color and to cover everything touched by it with a rich man- te of warmth. —The readers of THE Stak who s0 greatly enjoyed the very attractive Loan Collection Jately exhibited in the old Cooke mansion on Washington street, will be-glad to know that arrangements are now being made for another display of like character in this city early the coming fal.

They entered then and ther their solemn protest against such a proposition characterized the proposition as an outrag: upor the rights and well-known wishes of a great majority of the residents of that section of the city, as well as di tfal to the committee on the District of Columbia tn both houses of Congress, who had the subject before them during the last session of Congress, and ted in favor of retaining the market on the site In question and of the erection of a permanent market building thereon.

Mr. Dent replied that they have uone—they have the duty of selecting proper sites for school houses. Mr. Cook sald that he held that the school board have no legal power to select this ground without the necessary legislation, Mr. Dent sald he never thought this a proper site for a school house, it appeared to him to be too near the Abbott school, and his judgment is that the school should be northwest of this lot. Mr. Morgan concurred in what Mr. Dent stated about tne unfitness of the site. He thought too much ot the school children to send them across railroad tracks and in the neighborhood of restaurants to their schools. The schools ought never to go there. Mr. Dent said he would refer the paper to the schoo] board, with the expression of doubt as to the power of the Commissioners without ‘arther legislation to authorize the location of a school buliding on square No. 446.
