Good Example Better Than Spanking— The Lady With Government in ter Eye. To ras EDITOR OF THE HERALD: Reading the articles in your paper upon putting the whip into the public schools again, reminds me of the struggle we had 25 (more or less) years ago 40 get it out of the schools. The only astounding shing about it is that it can have any advocate rom refined, cultivated, educated gentiemen, The Alsposttion comes from a low, barbarous, uncuiti- ated nature and from one who has not yet learned bo govern himself. Was @ teaciier myself in those days, and quite near me Was a district school—the principal a wen- sleman, He had large boys, 17 and 18 yeurs ola, He kept @ rattan and used it Ireely; he also kept & Finis, and this, if he saw any boys across the school- im ooking: a little ‘oapicivas, he ula sling itt their heads, ms, the boys cailed, “circulating bhe Seriptures,” and “the Bible going on a mis- pion.” Hearing the reports trom this school, [ | made the remark that I belleved I could put a | young lady into that school, a pupil of mine, who woul govern It With one finger. One oi the trus- igs caring I had made the remark, came to see He sald the boys had taken the teacher up mdity the day betore and carricd him out into the itreet and sat him down there, and that he had no doubt it was the worst school in the city. I said, nevertheless, | would like to try it. The young lady I had in my mind belonged to one of the first families in the State and was at home, sie was further advanced in mathematics than bee other I could recommend. 1 wrote er all the particulars, She hesitated at | Qrat, but her iather, who was ‘‘oue ot atures noblemen,” urged her to come. She | id, and never bad tne least trouble with one of | hose boys. She kept no rattan or any other whip, | The school filled up, and was one of the best dis- | riplined sohgols in the city. The reason was she rould control herseif, and she had government in | | her eye. When she spoke she was obeyed. There ‘8 no government in the whip; it is mere power the stronger holds over the weaker. ‘ihe man shat cannot govern a school wituout a whip had better be turned into the street to break sioue; ‘% would be @ more appropriate empioyment, There are scores 0} ladies Wo would better fill his glace.

MONEY EASIER. Gold Stronger in Consequence of War Rumors. pool EEE Ed GOVERNMENTS STEADY. Other Securities Firm—Prices for the Present Believed To Be Near the Top. * WALL STRERT, Fray, Dec. 5—6 PB. M. While the stock market ts steady and prices are stu! obedient to the manipulations of local specu- lators the external symptoms, the reports from business circles, the dulness of trade, the deprecia- tion of values, the discharge of workmen, the decline in earnings, the renewals of notes in banks, the thousands upon thousands of {dlers gathered tn towns and cites, all tell of a financial situation that does not warrant whut is going on with deceptive results in and around Wall street, If it be trae that “whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad," we shall not be surprised to Seo another monetary crisis more or 1ess dangerous tn its influence and surroundings. A report is before us showing the fuilures for a few days preceding the 4th of Octo- ber of something like 247 firms. If this number speaks for one or two weeks, what must have been the record of the month? What may we expect on the lat of January? How many corporations will be compelled to show weak hands when the day of reckoning appears? In short, what has the country to hope for until our paper appreciates the value of gold, and a policy is adopted by Con- gress which shall restore public confidence ? THK UNITED STATES TREASURY. The following are the balances in the Treasury :— Currency, $630,718; special deposits of legai ten- ders for redemption of certificates of deposit, $22,480,000; coin, $85,778,963—including certiti- cates, $30,865,100; outstanding legal tenders, $369,056, 718, The foregoing report justifies a question or two. According to the same there is a currency bal- ance:— December 5. December 1 + $6,020,718 » 1,850,000 + $4,780, 718 Increase Legal tenders outstanding December 5. December 1 = $369,000,000 + 8 000 Increase .........+ $2,098,000 The balance in the Treasury has increased $2,682,718 more than the issue of legal tenders, Where does the Treasury get the excess? 1s the Secretary selling gold or bonds’ If a balance on the 1st of December of $1,350,000 was enough tor the purposes of the Treasury, aud the receipts are in excess of the payments, as they appear by some $2,682,000 for the past four days, why is it neces- sary, with @ balance Jast night of $5,250,000, to make.a further issue of the so-called reserve to-day of $500,000. Is this for Wall street purposes? The Customs receipts to-day were $260,000, The Assist, ant Treasurer paid out to-day $35,000 on account of interest and $205,000 in redemption of five-twenty bones, | THE MONEY MARKET, Money was somewhat easier to-day, and ranged from 7 per cent gold to 4per cent currency. The latest business was dode on the basis of 5 and per cent. ‘The foreign exchanges closed dull and steady at 108! for prime bankers’ 60 days’ sterling, and 1093 for demand, Commercial bills ranged from Thi associated banks now hold $89,180,000 legal tenders, an increase over Thursday of $1,945,000. THE FORRIGN MARKET. Little has occurred in foreign circles to-day, ac- cording to caple despatches, to lend additional in- terest to our home market. The Bank of England gained £91,000 in bullion.

Tue President of the company is about to return home. He has not been successful in his mission. The following appeared in a contem- porary yesterday morning:—“A story prevats to the effect that the Lake Shore Railroad officials have decided upon an additional issue of $10,000,000 of bonds to pay off the floating debt, to go on with necessary construction and to provide for the next interest upon the stock and bonds, This report, which aid not seem improbable, coulda not be oficially substantiated.” Of course it is not im- probabie. It is just what they appear to have been doing since the present road was organized, selling bonds and new stogk, and borrowiug money to pay the dividends, Asharp movement is taking place in Alton and Terre Haute shares. These have strongly advanced asasequence of the Improvements of the com- pany inearnings. We note sales at27a 29. Time was when this stock belonged to the dukedoms of j the street, A general review of the attitude of the stock market, however, is not extremely encourag- ing. It has attained what in England would be called the “apprehensive” point. There is no strength to it, But for the efforts of a few specu- lators it would drop of its own dead weight, and it is by no means certaim that these very speculat- ors are not making @ market on which to sell.

An jnexpressibly shocking announcement ape pears in the despatches this morning, giving aa additional pang to the profound grief feltin the community at the sad death of Judge Rufus w. Peckham. George W. Peckham, an eider brother of the late Judge, has long residea in Milwaukee, and is well known to many of our older citizens. Om hearing o! the terrible iute of his brotner be became temporarily insane, and while in that conditiom wandered to the bridge which spans the Milwau- kee River, iell or leaped into the stream, and was THE drowned. The double jatality is @ sad and mourniul one. Two distinguished men, whe | nave passed the best portion of thetr lives im this city have met violent deaths in quick succes- sion, Both were full of years and houors, and the tragic termination of their lives of uselulnesa is felt with peculiar force in this community. George W. Peckham was the senior of the Ju by a lew years, and possessed similar characteristics and ability. The brothers opened a law office in this city half a century ago, ana they won a well de- served reputation together. Alter a few years the firm dissolved and the brothers separated, the elder proceeding to the West, where he gained ad- ditional renown, and alter acquiring a goodly | competence retired from the practice of the law.
