Teachers have some rights which
trustees and school boards should
feel bound to respect. When a
teacher has taught a good school,
other things being equal, he has a
right to the same place. The Inter
est o£ the school as well as justice to
the teacher demands this, if the
teacher la at all capable he will
teach a much better school when be
bus become thoroughly acquainted
with pupils and patrons. It a teacher
is made to feel that efficient, laitblul
work is to stand tor nothing in the
Way of retaining a position, a gieat
incentive to bard work is removed.
The rule should be to re-employ a
teacher unless there is some good
reason for doing otherwise, and this
should bold in country and city alike.
Inacity emp.oying a superintendent,
it a teacher does not give satisfaction
he sbonid be hones,ly and frankly
criticised, and given to definitely un
derstand wherein bis fault lies. This
gives a teacher ample opportunity to
correct bis faults, and if he fails to
do so, be has no ground to complain
if not retained. The custom with
some superintendents and school
boards is to allow an unsatistactory
rfeacber to run on to the end of the
year and then drop Dim; this being
the first intimation the teacher has
had that bis work was unsatisfactory.
As a rule, a teacher or a superintend
ent who is not to be re-employed
should be notified of the fact betore
the end of the term or year, that be
may perfect hie plane to have the op
portunity of resigning.
a teachet’s reputation is bis capi
tal, and a school beard has no right
to needlessly impair him.
The above article was suggested
by the action of a school board that
recently dropped a superintendent
without any warning whatever; and
of another board that dropped sev
eral teachers without warning to
them or the superintendent, and
against the wishes of the superin
tendent.
Clommittees who cannot place the
highest interest of the above all pei»
sonal, social and partisan influences
are not worthy to hold the office.—

Chapman said to-day as be was going
to enter a hack to go to dinner.
Seated in it was a man whose face
was covered with long busby beard,
who seemed to shriek from being
identified. When the exclamation
was made he saw his identity was
discovered, and he spoke:
“Yes, Jim, old boy ; all that is left
of me. They have had me a dead
man, and I would like them to still
think so ia Macon.”
The person was Mr. Charles Ex
perience, a former citizen of Macon.
About two years ago a young man
named Charles Eckford, a friend of

later a dead man was found leaning
against a tree so decomposed that he
was u ,recognizable. Members of the

His sisters have since mourned hie

Savannah, Ga., February 6 —This
evening a neatly dressed young man
entered the ( xtensive j -welry store of
M. Sternberg, Broughton street, and
presenting the card of A. L. Pea
bouillons, a jeweler, on Bull street,
stated that his name was C. D, Mar
shall, and that be had been sent
there to purchase a diamond ring.
Desbouillons not naving anything
that suited him, a number of rings
were shown him, and be made the
selection of a handsome ring valued
at $2116.50, and a watch at $283 50.
They were wrapped up for him, and
Marshall taking them in hand, re
qutsted that a clerk accompany him
to the Pulaski house, where be said
he was stopping with bis wife and
grandmother, and to bring a tray of
diamonds with him, as they wanted
to purchase some, and he would then
pay the entire bill. Young Stern
berg accompanied Marshall to the
Pulaski house, carrying with bim
the tray of diamonds, Marshall re
taining possession of the ring and
watch. Beaching the betel they en
tered the parlor, when Marshall
reqested Sternberg to take t seat un
til be stepped up to the room for his
wife. He apparently proceeded up
stairs, but subsequent events showed
that he took the back track, passed
out of the office and disappeared,
succeeding in making his escape.
After waiting some time young Stern
berg became alarmed at the pro
longed absence of Marshall,and made
inquiries, which satisfied him that
he bad been swindled. Every effort
to find Marshall was unsuccessful,
and it is believed he slipped into the
omnibus at the hotel entrance, after
leaving Sternberg in the parlor, and
went to the depot,taking the 8 o’clock
train. It is the boldest confidence
game played in Savannah in years, I

DIL TALMAGE’S SERMON.
Bbooklyn, N. Y., Feb, I.—Q iPe a
revolution iu th« Brooklyn L’aber
nacie has tek-n place iu cons' quence
of the recent public rental of pews,
and the audience are to day for the
first time in tneir new places, the pew
holders admitted by cards. While in
other chu Chea the finances have
been depressed by the hard times,
the pews tn this church have brought
higher prices than ever i etore. Dr.
Harbison A. Tucker pays this year
SBIO for his pew. and others in pro
portion. But the free principal is
combined with this rental, and seats
are rcs-rved for thousands of people
who pay nothing. Dr. Talmage read
another long list of new members,
making 130 received at recent meet
ings of sessions.
The subject of the sermon was,
“The Old F >lks’ Visit,” and the text,
Genesis xiv., 28: “I will go and see
bim before I die.” Dr. Talmage said ;
Jacob had long since passed the 100
year milestone. People had in th.
dave wonderful long-vitv, but we
have had in later centuries very aged
persons. Galen, the most celebrated
of ancient physicians, took so little
of his own medicine that be lived to
be 140 years old. A trust w rtfiy man
on a wl'ness stand in England on
oath declared be remembered 150
years. Lord Bacon speaks of a count
ess who had cut three sets of teeth,
and was 140 years old, Joseph Orele.
of Pennsylvania, died at 140. In a
book published in 1857 are th« names
ot 37 people who lived to be 140 years
old, and of 11 who reached 150
Among the grandest old men that
we nave any record of is Jacob, the
patriarch of tne text. But be had a
bad lot of boys. The most ot them
were cruel, jealous and unprinctp'eo.
Hie eon Joseph was an exception, but
be bad not been heard Ir m foi a
long while, and the probability was
that he was dead. But. as it is the
oust'm in some tn uses now to keep a
vacant place at the table with plate
and knife and fork and chair for a
deceased member of the family, s '
there had always been in old Jacob’s
heart a place for his departed gon
Joseph There sits the old man, the
fl ick of 145 years having in their flight
alighted long enough to 1 ave the
marks of their claws on his forehead
and cheek and temples. The long
white b -ard snows down upon his
chest. His eyes, somewhat dim. can
see further when they ate shut than
when they are open, for be sees clear
back to the time when Rachel, bis
beautiful wife, was living and tn>-
enildren shook the oriental abode
with their merriment.
While the centenarian sits there
brooding over the pixel there is a
rumbling of heavy wagons at the
d of, and the old man gets uo and
goes to the door to see w jo has come,
and bis eons, returned from E.?py>,
rush in and tell bim that bis son
Joseph instead of being dead, is liv
ing in the E.'vptian palace and.is
n- xt to the K og, having all the in
vestiture of Prime Minister in the
greatest empire of the world. The
news was too sudden and too glad for
the old man, and he looks d z d,
and bis cheeks get white, and n
drops his steff, and he would bav
fallen flat had not his boys caught
bim and heiped him on a lounge, and
put some waterto bis face and fanned
him a little. “Comingto” he begins
to mumblesomc words about Joseph :
What did you sav ab >ut my J sept?
You did not me»n my dear eon
Joseph, did you? H- has been dead
many years. Y u did not mean him
did you?” But fully resuscitated
from the nervous shock and assured
that the good news was true, the tears
I begin their winding wiydiwnttn
cros-roads of the wrinkled tece, and
toe sunken lips of tbs old mao quiver
1 and he clasps his bent fiagers to
gether, and besrys: "Joseph my
eon.is yet alive; I will go and see bim
before I die.” It did not take the
old msn long to get ready, I warrant
you. He put on the best clothes a
shepherd’s wardrobe could afford,
and got into a wsg m, and when that
wrg>n and the old man met Joseph’s
chariot coming down to meat bim i<
was an antithesis of ru->ticiry and
royalty, simplicity and porno, filial
aff-ction and paternal love, leaving
us so much in doubt aboutwhethei
we bad better laugh or erv tnat w
do both. So J icob carried out the
■ resolution of the text: “I will go and
see him before I die.” It our friends,
the reporters, want an appropriate
title for tbii sermon I suggest that
tbev call it “The Oi t Folks’ Vi-ic,”
What a strong and lasting thing is
parental attachment! Was It not
most time that Jacob forgot Joseph?

hot suns of many summers had

again and again had ovetfl >wn. Har

aitachment of the patriarch for bis

may be 75. but vision of the cradle
and childish face and the first utter
ances of the young Bps are fresh to
day in spite of the passi ge or a hai'-
century. Joseph is as fresh in Jacob’s
heart as on the dav when at 17 years

All this means that however long our
children are gone awav they are par

continue to hold us until it brings us

that celestial clime and the roll ot
