Child?, of Philadelphia, is thua described as he was seen at work the day before Christmas and until late at night: . , . : ' - "For several hours he was steadily en gaged in sealing envelopes, and in each of these envelopes there was something that will make this a joyful Christmas for the recipient. On the desk in front of Mr Childa were piles of crisp, newbank notes. At the extreme right was a tiny pile of five hundred dollar-notes. Next to them was a very respectable pile of notes of the one-hundred-dollar denomination. Immediately in front of him was a big- pile of fifty dollar notes. At the left was a box of ten- dollar bills. On the stand - was a box crammed with envelopes that had already been directed at his suggestion, with a memorandum on one corner savin?.

"The example of Miss Davis of observ ing in such matters the limits of self-eN facement dictated by good taste might per haps be commended to some Southern authors and writers of the sterner sex, who have found an easy road to popularity outside of their own section by depre ciating it." The remaioB of the poet Richard Henry Wilde were disinterred last week at Augusta, Ga., and were re moved to the cemetery. The Chro nicle says: - "The wooden box containing the zinc or lead coffin had crumbled away, leaving only fragments of rotten timber. The metal case bad shrunk, revealing the out-, lines of the skeleton. A small orifice at one end being slightly widened showed the shoes worn by the deceased in a admirable state of preservation." Mr. Wilde has been dead more than- twenty-five yeare, we believe. A monument to his memory is con templated. . - Relative to the African traveller Stanley's sudden recall to Europe from this country, a London dispatch to the N. Y. World ot 25th inst. says: "Stanley arrived here yesterday from America and immediately had a conference with the projectors of - the expedition to Central Africa for the relief of Emin Bey, who has been out there for a year or more with little or no communication with the civilized world. His position is much like that of Qordon at Khartoum, or of Living stone when Stanley went in search of him. There have been various rumors of the causes that led to the recall of Stanley from America. . One is that his success there not having been what he expected, he asked to be recalled. As to the truth of ' this there is not as jet any definite information."

If people will hug: the delusion that the Civil Service humbug is very dear to the Democratic heart there is no cure for them The fol lowing shows the experience of the most .widely circulated paper ever published in America aa to said hum bug. In its issue of the 26th it said: "We are stating a fact to which our mails have daily borne testimony for the past two years, in saying that no policy which the World baa ever favored has been, oris, bo unpopular with its readers as is its advocacy of Civil Service Reform."

It is a dignified, courte ous, frank, scholarly weekly religious paper, and is cheap at $1 50. It ought to be well sustained, and we are glad to see the announcement of its prosperity. The Senate before the recess had passed the bill for the retirement and redemption of the trade dollar. The House passed the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill.

Post, and will be ready - for use as soon as the i : school furniture purchased by the Board of Education is received and placed in the building; probably early next week. It is a handsome and commodious struct ure, in all ita arrangements' admirably adapted for the purpose for which it is de signed and reflects credit alike upon the economical management and liberality of the Board of County Commissioners, the School . Committeemen and the' architect and builder. The main building is 80 feet in length by 55 in width, with win8 on .the east and west sides 27 by 24 feet each ; two stories in height the first story having a pitch of thirteen feet and the - second sixteen feet. There are six large class rooms on the first floor; on the second floor there is a large hall or assembly . room in the centre, 55 by" 79 feet, with class rooms similar to those below in each wing. Ventilation and light have been abundantly provided . for, and ready means of egress from all parts of the building in case of fire. ' There are gas fix tures in each room and' in the hall and pas sages, and a'laratory on the first floor. The building throughout has been con structed of the . best material and in the most substantial manner, particular atten tion having bsen paid to the foundation and the flooring. The stairways are broad and ample with easy flights of steps, and the passages wide and unobstructed. At the main entrance to the building on Ann street, over the handsome porch, a large globe has been placed with an open . book on each side in bas relief, upon the pages of which are inscribed the folio wi D Pouhdeks of i Union School, Distbict No. 2. 1856.

The history of Union School, District No. 2, as it is now called, is interesting. , During the summer of 1856 Mr. John W. Barnes, Sr., called the attention of the citi zens of Wilmington to the need of a school in the southeastern section of the town, then known as "Dry Pond." which is now one of the bestgoortions of the city.. , - - A pelition.being started to raise means to build a school house, Miles Costin, Esq. , donated a lot valued at $290 "to be used for school purposes," executing a deed for the same to James J. j Green, John W. Barnes, Sr., and Thomas J. Freshwater, trustees, and their successors, the same be ing dated November 3d, and recorded the 31st of December, 1856. j Silas N. Martin gave lumber to the value of $100, several others contributed largely and many .moderately, making a sum suffi cient to build a school house of good size, well finished, plastered and painted. . During April, 1857, a meeting of sub scribers was held in . the new building, when the above named . trustees tendered the use of the building "to such organiza tion as would maintain therein : a free, school." Messrs. P. W. Panning, A. H. VanBokkelengand 8. N.j Martin were con stituted a committee , to raise' necessary means, employe a teacher, procure books, and put the school in, operation. The committee met immediately and decided to employ John W. Barnes, Jr., as teacher, procure necessary furniture, books, &c," andtipen the school on the first dayfof May, for, a session of three months, and pay equally the cost of same that might be in excess over and above subscriptions, ob tained from others.." There was no public school fund availablei-for this short session. An arrangement being made for. the union of the j two school districts lying south of Market street, the school was then styled ''Union Free School," being opened on October 1st 1857, to continue till July 31st, 1858 The amount derived from the public school fund was very small; balance of i expenses was guaranteed by the same committee of three, as before stated, the schooL continuing for six years, - closing during, the Bummer of 1863, by cause of de- j rangementSvbrougnt about by the war. From the first Dr. T. C. Worth was a large contributor and co operated in' all movements connected with the scbool.hav ing full control of its working during the absence of the committee up to his death by the epidemic of 1862. His rule of "doing al things well" was fully exemplified on this work. ' . j . -" The school house originally seated com fortably one hundred. During ihe vacation of 1859 aa additional room capable of hold ing forty pupils was added, and assistant teachers arranged for. The school was always filled to its full capacity; the whole number of pupils attending during the six years wa9 380, of which 192 were males and 188 females.giving an average of two years' education to each pupil attending. . ' J On January 9th, JL867,; the Union School house was again opened by Mis9 Amy M. Bradley, with a beginning of .4 three pupils, which shortly j increased to; 107, and one session to 223.

' - Since the Union School House 'passed from the charge of Miss Bradley it has been occupied by the Public School Commission under whose management ' the number -of pupils has so increased S3 to require the erection of the large school building on the corner of Ann and Sixth streets,' which as stated has just been completed. , ' - Snoe Heel Cbansed to max ton.' . : Official notice is given that the postal authorities will change the 'name of the postoffice now known as Shoe Heel to Max ton on the first day of January, 1887.
