Our Public School.
Tho Interest In tho matter of building
r.p a good school in our town is just nt
this time u'littlu more active limn usunl.
i'roni the most reliable repot (h, it is ap
parent that the academy lias opened
with classes larger than Iho average of
Hie immediate nasi nml 11 corps of
leaehcrs who, considering tho diHcottr
iigementB under which they labor, man
ifest nn earnest deeiro to improve tlio
school. Hut just hero it is worthy of re
mark Hint there uro three elements that
enter Into this work, and a full men cure
of success depends on nil nlike. First,
the teachers must be earnest in their
work. Unceasing vigilance must be
their constant watchword. They must
bo constantly on tho nlert, to guard
against error j to restrain from improper
conduct; to encourage to higher effort;
to tench subjects, not text books; to
teach pupils to 1I1I11L for themselves,
and to Impress them with the Import
ance of thoroughness, in work, punctu
alityand regulaiity in attendance, and
tyttna in everything. To accomplish
tliis the teacher must succeed in making
the school room nn interesting place and
nil studies and school work interesting.
The scholars, then, must be shown that
thoy themselves nro largely responsible
for w hat tho school shall be. If a grand
success, first, tho teachers must be zeal
ous workers, nud second, the pupils
must imbibe the same spirit and feel n
just prido in being helimrs in the great
work that, moro than anyone cleo, con
cerns themselves. Tho first two ele
ments that combine to mnkoup n good
school, It may be hcon, nio good tcacli
crs and, through them, good scholars.
Hut u third and no less potent factor
for good or ovil in tho accomplishment
of tliis end is the parents themselves.
Too often tho failures in school are
blamablo to parents. Tho young are
proverbially imitative. If tlio father or
mothor takes no interest in school mat
ters, how can it be expected that chil
dren will ? If parents, not familiar with
the inner workings of tho school room,
criticise the actions of the teacher, take
issuowith all new methods and rules
adopted by tlio teacher, nnd express
their disapprobation freely in the pres-
onco of the children, how can it be ex
pected tbnt tho latter will take much in
terest in tho school or-show much re
spect towards the teacher by yielding a
hearty obedience or compliance with tlio
rules and demands V How common it
is for parents, on evory slight pretext
that may uriso, to pernflt their children
to bo late ut school or to stay nwny all
day J A few extra dishes to wash, or n
slow clock, or sorno littlo errand tbut
could just ub well be postponed, is, with
the parent's consent, made the causo of
a pupil being nbseut from duty. All
business men, al professional men, nil
laboring men, till reliable men, rccog
nizo that to bo successful they must al
ways bo "present for duty," nnd always
thoroughly prepared to perform that
duty, it is equally essential that stu
dents should bo present for duty nnd
prepared for their duties, nnd that this
should bo taught them by parents ub
well ns by teachers. It Ib unfortunate
for our children that, nt best, they are
eompolled to labor under discouraging
circumstances. Thoy nro forced to sit
for six hourB a day on seats' that, were
parents themselves compelled to endure
them fur tlio samo ttnio every week,
thoy would soon replace by something,
if not moro inviting, at least more com
fortable. Tho pupils work with very
littlo help in the way of globes, charts
and other necessary school apparatus.
The school rooms nro bare, gloomy, nud
in every way tho opposito of tho com
fortable homes the children enjoy. It
is a standing blemish on tho good name
of .Marshfiohl that her school houbo is
ono of tho most poorly furnished and
equipped of all in tho county, nnd such
us would not bo endured fur u month in
other townB of equal siro and proton
fiiona. Tliis is a statu of affairs for
which parents aro hugely respousibo
by their indifference nnd one which
they should lose no tuno in correcting.
A school, to become nn interesting place
for youth, should bo made uttractivo,
und if it would bo mndo successful,
thero should bo harmonious action
among teachers, pupils und parents, und
parents should realize that not tho least
of theso responsibilities devolves upon
themselves.

The Forthcoming Overland
A loadingfenluro of tho "Overland
Monthly" for October will bo the first
installment of two very important his
torical papers upon the stoimy period
of "Governor Alvarado's Administra
tion," tho Graham affair, the beginning
of the American Invasion, and tho roots
of tho famous Hear Flag movement,
lion. Theodore Ililtell, tbu author, has
had access to hitherto unpublished ma
terials, nnd ho will fearlessly challenge
many conclusions of former historians.
His work will doubtless lead to wide
discussion of the closing days of the
Spanish era in California.
Prof. Joseph Lo Conto has been per
suaded to give to the public some
"Hough Notes of a Yoscmito Camping
Trip." The first paper will only serve
to whet tho reader's appetite for more.
Those "Notes," wiitlen in 1870, will
furnish a remarkably fresh and clear
idea of tlio impression made upon a
new-comer by Californian scenery nnd
camp-life
"Tho Rnncheria Affair," written by n
pioneer of Amador county, will form
another of tho striking "Overlund
Monthly" series of articles on Early
California.
A most attractive paper, nnd one
worthy of general attention, will bo
"A Bravo Life," the story of the life and
last days of Mrs. John Brown. So com
plete an account has not before ap
peared in any magazine.
Tlio plucky and widely-known travel
er, Miss C. F. Gordon Cum ming, will
write in her most entertaining style, of
"The Great Lama Temple in Pekin."
F.mclio Tracy Sweet, whoso stories
have been bo highly praised by compe
tent eastern critics, will contribute
"A Transportation Aristocrat: a Story
of Humboldt county."
D. S. Hick-unison will furnish one of
his characteristic sketches of tho South
ern California Coast, entitled "Brindlc
nnd others," a mo3t humorous narra
tive.
A strong aggressive paper upon "Free
Libraries: Especially San Erancisco;"
a thoughtful essay by Warren Olney ;
other short stories; poems; criticisms;
discussions of recent works on social
ism; and tin unusual variety of other
library attractions, aro also promised
for this October issue.

Our contemporary has repeatedly
tickled our vanity by attributing lo the
Coast Mail a wonderful influence at
Washington. But tbnt was under an
other administration. We did not ex
pect to havo tho influonco with tliis ono
that we now seem to have. A short
timo ago, in referring to the vexed sil
ver question, and in poino lemaiks cal
culated to lioln Cleveland and M inning
out of their dilemma, wo said that the
way in which to get tho silver out of the
treasury and into the hands of the peo
ple was to withdraw tho greenbacks un
der the denomination of 5; and now,
just after our paper lias had time to
roach Washington and bo road by the
president und his secretary of tho treas
ury, comes the announcement that the
aforesaid secretary has takon our ad
vlco and is withdrawing tlio small
greenback's. That is sensible, and it
this administration will only contlnuo
to follow tho advice of tho Coasr Mah.
tlio administration will wind up all
right, notwithstanding tlio many blun
ders it has already made.

THE MATTRE39 TRADE.
Feather Ilodi Valttablo Hair MnttreiuM
" Wool and Slmrlnci "Slioddy."
(Chicago Tribune.)
During tho moving and house cleaning
period the question of renovating und re
vamping mattresses and ticks Is an Inter
esting cue to housewives, who too fre
quently discover that what was purchased
a year ago as a valuable hair mat
Ircx h only a combination of
wool and shaving3. Tho feather
bed is stilt to be found in slock,
but the trade is confined entirely to tho
country. Except for pillows and bolsters,
feathers arc rarely called for In tho city
Iradc. The Lot bed olTcrcd is a forty
pound hair mattress. There arc, how
ever, two kinds of hair which aro rarely
worked up separately, becauso ono is too
expensive for the averase purchaser, and
the other has too little body.
The belter hair is made of tho tail and
mane of the South American horses which
are raised on tho plains of the Orinoco
and Hio do la Plata rivers. This 16ng
hale is cut twlco a year and shipped ia
knots to hair dealers in Baltimore, New
York, and Philadelphia, where it is
cleaned and curled by boiling. It Is then
run through a machine which picks out
tbe hairs and weaves them into n rope an
inch in diameter. Thee ropes aro sent
to tho manufacturer, who has them un
twisted by children.
Black hair h the best filling for berts
known. The whito is made by bleaching
black or sorrel hair, and, while it is worth
moro per pound, is not as good as tho
black, tho b'cachlng processes being
so severe as to rob tho hair of its strength
and elasticity. A genuine horsehair
mattress costs between f.'IO and -10, ac
cording to the quality of tho ticking used.
Cheaper mattresses aro made from tho
hair of cows and pigs. The hair Is treated
in the same manner, but makes a heavy
bed and one less durable than curled hair.
"Shoddy" Is the trade-mark for a mat
tress ruado of woolen ravclings. Any
kind of wool can be used for this purpose,
but tho principal material ia obtained from
old Brussels carpet, which Is unraveled by
steam heat, thoroughly cleansed, and af
terwards picked like lint A "shoddy "
mattress can be bought for .$7, and will
lost forever, but it is not readily ventilated,
is hard to move, and can not bo made
over. Such beds are used in hotels in
rooms that are not much occupied. A.
better mattress, so far 03 health goes, is
the husk mattress, with cotton on ono
side. Tho cotton top makes the mattress
soft, but it Is not reversible.
A great deal of cow's hair is used by
people who want a bed that will last Tlio
hair U obtained in Chicago in great
quantities, and after being washed Is sent
to all parts of the country. These beds
aro perfectly clean, but the hair is cling
ing, ana 11 laKes uie strengm 01 nn am
lete to. turn the mattress over for ventila
tion. Goat, deer, nnd pig hair is used oc
casionally for bedding, though more gen
erally is appropriated by harncssmakcrs.
Jftpeute or limine
clc&tM3 AmericiD.
A well informed merchant of Boston
recently said to n representative of a Bos
ton newspaper that lie bad been looking
back over his accounts, and was surprised
to lind that since the close of the war there
had been a steady increase in tho ordinary
expenses of carrying on business. That
this increase of business expenses extends
bcyoud the merchant to tho manufacturer
and most other kinds of business Is a fact
patent to most employers. Merc ollico
work costs a great deal more now than it
it did n lb'fiS; more clerks aro needed,
and. on the whole, each of theso rcceivo
higher pay. Assistance is required in tho
receiving and delivering departments to
an extent and of a character that would
not have been dreamed of twodacades -ago.
Then thero aro a variety of inciden
tal expenses that now enter into ho com
putation. There aro telephone charges,
printing, the expense of solicitors, tho
whole making up an amount sufficiently
large to catsup all that would have been
considered fair profits a quarter of a cen
tury ago.
IUs probable that the experience in
different trades varies, nnd yet wo fancy
that in most lines of business statements
somewhat similar to tho abovo might bo
made. The tcndcicy, all the timo going
on, to lessen the hours of service, both hi
oQIccs and workshops, of itself makes tho
cost of business proportionately higher.
Competition is sharper than it was ten or
twenty years ago, nnd prices are so much
reduced in most commodities which enter '
into the necessities of a household, that
mechanics, clerks, aud others nro enabled
to live much better now than it was possi
ble for them to do ten or twenty years
ago, when their wages were less and the.
cost of living was greater.
Ijut Hour of Yankee Suit Iran.
Washington Hatchet,!
I was very much pleased to meet last
week with Judge McUowan, one of tho
Argonauts who in 1849 discovered tho
golden lleecc. which has to coin a term
roynlized California. In the course of our
conversation tho judgo told me tho con- -cieto
history of tho famous prize tighter.
Yankee Sullivan.
Sullivan, whoso real name was Am
broso Murray, was arrested uud im
prisoned. IIo feared that the vigilantes
would put him to death, though, as Judgo
McGowan tells mo, his apprehensions
were unfounded. The purpose of that
body was to shln him back to Australia
on tho first clipper ship that sailed to
Melbourne, it having been dclinltoly
understood that Sullivan, or Murray, was
au escaped convict. Tho poor devil,
however, was so atlrightcd that ho took
no stock in tho hope of escape from thq ,
harsh business of Judgo Lynch. Ho.
called eagerly from his prisou wlndowa
for a priest, fee-line that death was set.
tliug close around him, but was answered
by leers from tho mob without. Finally,
in sheer desperation, bo. opened the vein
of his left arm with a cascknifo aud bled,
himself to death,
Yankee Sullivan wa3 one of tho finest
prizo fighters in tho records.
