AS the people fled Into Jefferson school building hall, Soutn Washington, last night and took their seats their attention was attra. ted by the sight of twelve miniature desks with seats arranged in V Shape on the platfarm, backed by along biack- board, on which a horse, pursue! by three boys, had been drawn in chalk. Around the figures were written: “See the horse run,” “Hoys, catch the horse,” “Can the boys cateh the horse,” and “Run, Doys,run.” In addition to these sentences there were ‘& number of words written separately on the board, ‘The audience wondered and wondered what this Was for, and it was not long _be(ore their curiosity Was satisfied.

There were six little boys and six little girls. Each one was hard- ly more than seven years oid, and all were Pupils of the first grade’ of the public Schools. At another tap of the bell the boys sep- arated and proceeded to the desks at one side, and the little girls to those on the other. Another tap of the bell and ail were seated with their hands crossed behind their backs. The last tap of the beli brought Il hands to the front and on the desks, and the scholars were ready to show their fatheTs and mothers 1m front how they learned to Tead, spell and cipuer. ‘The use of the blackboard Was inade apparent when Miss Crump, the took long potnter, and by its ald began interro- ating the little oues as to the figures and sen- ees On the board. ALL ABOUT THE HORSE. ‘Miss Crurhp first read the sentence, “ Boys, catch the horse,” several times to the little ones, and then made tuem repeat it after her until they had it learned “by heart.” Then foliowed a number of questions by Miss Crump wuich W re intended to 1x What had been learn-d more deeply in the culidren’s minds. Some of the answers given by them were of the most tngenuous character, and the fact that they were given through the Dilssful | iguorance of the children only served tO render them more | amusiag, and | Kept the audience convulsed with laughter.

Tae Trx eves on the table here came into play. One was a pint measure, another a quart, and the other a galion measure. The children were then tanght the first incipies of arithmetic by such simple examples: ‘Suppose Mamma Was going lo make a large cake | and bad to put in a quart of milk. How much 1s ‘that? ‘Wo pints,” shouted one little red-headed Sa at the top of bis voice. Another was | asks “Ifa milkman has a gallon of milk and | sells a quert at a time, how many does he sell?” ‘This question staggered him for « moment and then he triumphantly exclaimed: “One at a time.” ‘This brougnt down the house, and for a minute no sound save that of laughter was heard in the wail. This conciuded the lesson in reading and ‘rit umetic. The stage was cleared and Miswrs Amelia Stern and Cora Thompson sang “Sign, Gentle Gules,” In satisfactory manner.

An- swers to the telegrams sent out describing him to the Canadian police officers say that he was in Toronto on Monday night, and was seen in Hamil- ton and tn London on Tuesday and Wednesday. He hada woman with him who is not his wife, Jackson entered the Sub-Treasury as clerk in 1870. He had been employed in the National Cur- Tency Bank and other banking institutions, and came to Gen, Hillhouse, then Sub-Treasurer, highly commended. At Grst he served under Cashier Floyd, and when he left for Canada was directly Under Caster seerer. When Chas, J. Canda was appointed Sub-Treasurer certain changes in the working staff Was made, and Jack- Son Was made paying teller. His ability, quick- and remarkable coolness were noticeable. ‘Sub-Treasurer Canda, in speaking yesterday ot Jackson's theft, said that Jackson had $1,000,000 within his reach every minute between 10 in'the morning and 31n the afternoon, and that nomeans hid as yet been devised to Keep paying-teliers honest. “They might be stripped and searched every night, Just as gold miners working for the owners are,” Jackson's cash Was examined on Oc- tober 13 and 17, and found to be correct.
