The Brothers of the Christian Schools are to make aa exhibit in the Educational Department of the London Exposition, which opens in May. The display was exposed at the De La Salle Institute, No. 48 Second street, yesterday. It comprised the work of pupils in t^gnty*fiigf schools inclu led in the District of New York, and the Sl«nples numbered over 1,000. In the exhibit were specimens of (ii^wing, penmanship, essays, literature, the higher mathematics, and shorthand writing. In the latter one pupil showed a speed of two hundred and ten words a minute. The display was most creditable in every w;y, — N.Y. Times. Charles O'Connor died last Monday ab his home in Nantucket, the sea-giit isle which the old man chose as his last earthly abode. The world will be the poorer for his loss, as it is the richer for the example of his eighty years of unsullied purity and transcendant ability. He had been sixty years a lawyer, and always an hones', as well as an able advocate. Of how many brilliant men in his profession can it be said, as all men must say of this man who outshone them all in brilliancy, that he never swerved in his public or. private relations from the strict line of integrity and parity ? The country may ponder to advantage the life of this illustrious citizen, crowned with every worldly success, without his sacrificing ono iota of his noble principle?, and ending, as is fitting, "full of honour and years." — Pilot, May 17.
