Mr Indy has the p.-iiatin” craze—
She’s very young and charming—
And just before the holidays
lfcr case grew quite alarming.
It rages like the chicken-pox,
Tho whooping cough or measles;
The symptoms nre a color box,
With palettes, tubes and easels.
The maul-stick, in her gentle hand,
Assumes new nirs and graces,
It aids her inspirations, nnd
displays her rings nnd laces.
Her pigment case is better filled
'Hum that of ancient master; •
Small wonder, then, that one so skilled
Completes her work much /aster.
She paints on platters, knives and forks,
Makes dndoes, screens and friezes;
Impressive flowers, authentic storks,
Her brush with ardor seizes.
Hilo painted nnd presented me
A chair I must not sit on;
She copios, in a style most free,
from ltoman, Greek or Briton.
Her dress denotes the highest art,
From bonnet down to buskin;
fflie knows the critics’ terms by heart,
Ami quotes for hours from Rnskin.
It serves her well to thus excel
In every kind cf sketching,
For she can tell an aquarelle,
Asd recognize an etching.
Fos-osscd of nil the virtues known,
With modesty combining,
’l'i< past belief to see her grown
Ho artful and designing.
I half despair of any end
To cobalt blues and bisters,
The malady doth now extend
To both her elder sisters.

Clmluj exorcises of the Lewis High
School.
The examinations of this excellent school
were continued throughout yesterday, and
surpassed even the expectations of its
friends. Thy various grades of classes in
arithmetic; grammar, geography, compo
sition. algebra, history, nnd other branches,
went through a courso of questions which
threw them upon their own resources,
and abundantly proved tho excellent in
struction which they have enjoyed. Tho
quickness nnd readiness of nnswer were in
mo.t cases quite remarkable, and the whole
tMici. es showed that tho teachers have
traiaed tho pupils to think for themselves,
aud not merely to learn by rote. One very
noticeable nnd commendable feature of
thl- m-Iioo! is tho constant use of writing
fa uainy ways. Tho pupils spell lessons by
writing on the 6late or blackboard;
they prepare written exercises in
grammar nnd geography, and
frequently called on to write
oat in their own words the lessons they
study. This helps much in fixing facts in
tie memory, and at tho same time teaches
I*i:mniuhip, spelling, capitalizing, punc-
tav.i jn aud composition.
lh: school room was filled all day with
iate."'. iod visitors, among whom wore
I’ruh - or \\. D. Williams, Professor Link,
Utv. J. \\. Burke and others of our leading
shite citizens. Many of the parents of the
children attended, beholding with mnch
satisfaction the progress made. This is a
cu-t'.m which ought to be more popular
than it is iu all our cehoofa. AU *1,9 v j 8 |_
tors, without exception, expressed them
selves ns being much pleased. A sudden
and violent rainstorm arising about three
o'clock, kept away many who would have
attended.
At I p. in., the literary exercises took
place in the Congregational Church,
over the school rooms. A large and atten
tive audience tilled tho house. The scholars
matching into the church to the
mu-ic of the organ, were massed together
upon the pulpit platform, one tier abovo
wr-'.ht r, making a very striking and im-
p:e ivu group. Tims standing, they sang
hevjtifully the song “Our Motto,” wiiich
* X 1 rassed the chorus of each verse, “Be
faithful, firm and true.” After the repeat
ing iu chorus of the twenty-third Psalm,
and the chanting or tho Lord’s Prayer, the
school w::s seated in tho reserved seats, and
tic literary part of the programme was
carried out. This consisted of selected
rcarmpi, declamations, compositions, and
songs “from grave to gay,” all of which
txercl-es were well rendered. Ono song
entitled “The Farmer’s Boy,” with a whis
tle chorus, was especially well sung. Tho
hoys entered into the whistling part with
great gusto and a good deal of musical
harmony. The exercises were closed at C
p. iu. with a farewell song by tho Senior
eli s and the benediction by Rev. J. W.
liurkt, after which tho well pleased audi-
tuce dispersed.
I fa ro have been 1(52 pupils enrolled dur*
fag the school year. Twelve or fifteen of
l..c older .scholars nre now teaching country
schools and others will teach during the
summer. The Lewis High School is one
of ti.e best schools in our city, nnd its
““•roughness, discipline nnd marked ex-
Cvlleiico should win for its teachers tho
hearty approval nnd support of all classes

Ejhmmu Races.
London, Juno 1.—Tho race for the
Derby stakes came off and was wou by
P. Lorillard’s bay colt Iroquois—second
place was secured by W. T. Sharpe’s
brown colt Peregrine, and the third place
by John Watson’s bay colt Townmoor.
Jockey J. Osborne rode Voluptuary, and
Lemairo rode Townmoor. The hones
went to the starting post at3:04 p. m. The
betting immediately before the start was
II to 2 against Iroquois, and 14 to 1
against Dan Fulano. Jockey Archer, who
rode Iroquois, received a tremendous ova
tion on returning to weigh in. Iroquois
won cleverly by a half length, with two
lengths between Peregrine and Town
moor. Time of the race was 2:50.
The race for tho Epsom manor stakes,
for two-years-old colts and fillies, a dis
tance of five furlongs, also came off, and
was wou by Girard’s bay filly New Haven.
The second place was secured by Lefeurc’s
bay lilly Range Gorge, and the third by J.
R. Keene’s bay colt North Star. Sue ran.
The start was made 17 minutes late.
It is stated on the race course that Jockey
Archer says he could havo easily won the
race by three lengths if it had been re
quired.
Tho race for the Stanley stakes, for
two-year-old colts and fillies, distance
five furlongs, also came off and was won
by Lord Roseberry’s brown filly Ker-
messe; Leopold do Rothschild’s chestnut
filly Isabel second, and Lord Hunting
ton’s brown colt, by Cremore out of
Chaplet, third. Nine ran, including J. R.
Keene’s chestnut colt, Gen. Scott. Only
ten horses parade for tbe preliminary can
ter—tho others going directly to tho post.
Peregrine’s appearance gave great satis
faction to his fanciers, but Iroquois seem
ed to be in the best of spirits. His action
was much admired. After one break
away, a good start was effected. When
the horses w.ere first seen at the top of
the hill it was difficult to make out from
the grand stand who had the advantage,
but coming down the hill Peregrine,
who had the inside, had a fair lead, and
his friends began to shout, “Peregrine
wins.” As they turned the corner, Arch

It was Steve’s turn to cough and the
Governor’s to grin.
“Well,” said tho Governor, with a sigh,
“take us to the Cliff.”
At tho Cliff House tho Governor and
Stephen drank their beer and smoked a
cigar, and listened to the barking of tiro-
seals, and filled tbeir lungs with the sea-
breezes. Suddenly Steve clapped himself
on the leg and cried out:
“By jove, Governor! I forgot that lot of
coal of Smith’s that tho sheriff is to soli
at 3 o’clock. It’s 2 now. If we miss that
a chance to save at least two thousand
dollars will be gone.”
“Good heavens!” cried the Governor,
snatching out his watch, “let’s hurry back
at once. Driver! Oh driver!
“Here, sir,” answered cabby, who had
been leaning over the balcony parapet
within ear-shot, “here sir.”
“We want to return to town immedi
ately,” cried Mr. Gage.
“Y a-as, I s’pose so,” said cabby slowly
chewing a straw, “but I’ll take my pay in
advance, if it’s all tbe same to you, gents.”
The Governor growled something be
tween his teeth and tendered $5.
“Taint enough,” said cabby, contemptu
ously.
“Iu heaven’s name, how far will yonr
extortion go?” snorted the Governor.
“How much do you want?”
“Five hundred more,” calmly replied
the hackman.
“Hey?” shrieked Steve and the Gover
nor.
“Five hundred, an’ not a cent less,” re
peated cabby.
“How sir—er—damme,sir! bow do you
dare ask such a price for driving two gen
tlemen four or five miles ?” sputtered tho
Governor.
- “I bases my charge on what the traffic
will bear,” replied the hackman with a
grin. “If taters is soilin’ in Loss Angeles
for fifty cents a bushel and at $3 a bushel
at Tucson, you fellers charge the poor devil
ot a rancher $2.50 a bushel to pack his
taters to Tucson and gobble all tbe profit.

Mr. Gage say if he could get iuto town by

I’m as good as a monopoly for this wunsl
as any blasted railroad on earth; but ain’t
so greedy. I don’t want all you can make
by usin’ my hack. I’m willing to get
along with half.”
With a dismal groan the Governor and
Steve emptied their pockets and counted
oat the money.
“Now, see here,” said cabby, as he
closed the door of the hack on his
victims, “I’ve done for wunst what you
roosters do day iu au’ day out au’ have

Hereupon tbe hackman clapped tbe
door with a bang, aud climbing to his
seat drove at a rattling pace to the place
where the sheriff was about to sell out
poor Smith. Smith was a coal dealer who
didn’t have special rates.
