To each of the successful candidates
among > : the pupils , another . religiaus work was presented ; and , asueach candidate advanced from the ranks to receive Jier prize , Miss Goutts called attention to those points . i » her written exercise which had secured it for her . . Some she commended , for the sensible manner in which they had spoken of " household work , " " teaching boys to knit , " " needlework , " " eoun try matters . " One she . specially commended for her observations on the influence exercised by the " head of the family . " " It is quite true , " said this pupil , " and it should not be forgotten , that , though a woman cannot alter her
position after marriage , it is entirely in her own power whom she chooses to make the head of her family . " And to this remark Miss Coutts added : — " Teachers would be doing a kindness to point this out to their elder girls when they leave school , and to advise them , before they marry , to observe carefully the habits of life and conduct towards others of those who wish them to enter into so serious and responsible an engagement . " Other pupils ¦ were commended for their excellent treatment of economy , and'their feeling answers on kindness to animals ( insects included ) . The pupil-teachers were lastly called -up and presented with appropriate prizes .
The proceedings , closed with tea , to which . Miss Coutts sat flown-with the rest . The scheme , of which she fs the presiding genius , has been carried out with the distinct approbation of the Committee of Council on Education , who offered to attend on the occasion .

"—r Daily ^ fews Paris Correspondent . - Two -Mayors of the'Cote < l Or ( says fhe ^ Moniteur -o £ that district ) -lately gave oertijicats de compJai 3 a ( official letters of recommendation ) 'to an ^ -individual who had just been-sentenced to six months' imprisonment and a fine of 500 fr ., as the -author of-a plaeard"ee ntaining an appeal to revolt and threats of death to the Emperor , to priests , and to nobles . These functionaries having acknowledged the gravity of their fault ,-ana-protested their perfect good-faith , the- prefect has only-suspended them for fifteen days .
An occasional correspondent of the Daily News -who has recently travelled through the whole of Fr ' anee states his opinion that the nation "is at this moment sleeping , in false confidence , on the brink of a volcano . " " Within the space of a few months , there have been six or seven monster prosecutions , which have made evident the fact that the country is undermined with h ydraheaded secret societies , chiefl y of socialist tendencies , but of various forms of socialism . The ringleaders-and other chief men baffle pursuit . The Emperor is said to be alarmed . Sixty-five departments are kn&vrn
to-contain bands of secret conspirators , and an active propaganda , it is believed , is going on in the army itself . " It has been lately discovered , " says the writer , " that the leaders of the Paris central -committees have secret relations with parties high in Government offices , and learn from them every movement of troops that is deoided upon at the Ministry of War . For many months past , not a regiment has left Paris for tl * e provinces but the revolutionary chiefs in the neighbourhood of its fresh quarters knew that it was coming , and were furnished with a list of the names of all the men -with
whom they might communicate m safety for the purpose of continuing the work of propagandism Unfortunately at the present day there 13 no vigour iu any party but those representing two extreme principles . There is the despotism enthroned in -the Tuileries , and the communism which conspires in the dark . A struggle will come . Who shall tell the event ?" The Emperor ,. it is . said , is shortly to visit Metz , and afterwards the Chateau of Arenemberg , on the Rhine , where he was brought up . There . is some talk of-an interview with the Emperor of Austria , somewhere near the Lake of Constance . It is said that a letter has been received by a distiuguished member of the Fusionist party in Paris from one of the Princes of the Orleans family , commenting in strong terms on the resistance offered by the Count de Paris to the " family pact" known as the Fusion .
At / STKIA . The stagnation of trade in Austria is now so great that many large manufactories have ceased working , and a commercial crisis is expected . The Roman Catholic authorities at Penzing , a village at no great distance from Vienna , have refused to allow the body of a child , born of parents professing the Greek faith , to be buried in the churchyard . The coffin was actually dug up after being placea in the ground , and was taken back to the parents . Acts such as these are rapidly throwing the members of the Greek Church into the arms of Russia . It is said that Russian agents are now extremely active in the Banat and the Servian Voivodina .
The Synod of Bishops continues to sit . Tho Vienna Prease recapitulates the principal questions which have been discussed by the prelates , and then ventures to add that their mission will prove a fruitless one , " if they should not make allowance for the difference between the men of to-day and tho men of the times of CJregory VII . and Innocent III . " The Emperor , on Wednesday week , gave an audience to tho hierarchy , 011 which occasion , Prince Schwarz , cnberg the Archbishop of Prague , and the oldest Cardinal in tho Empire , though still a young man , addressed hit ) Majesty in Latin , and
congratulated him on the passing of the Concordat . " Tho Lord , " concluded the Prince Cardinal , " will prosper . the work which haa been uudertuli . cn in Ilia honour , and give to your Majesty a crown of glory which will shine in history through all future ages ; « crown which , instead of fading in the heavouly Jerusalem , will shine with a more pure and eternal splendour . May tho blessing of tho Most High eternally rest on your Majesty ami on your illustrious houao ! " A rather significant admission in tho course of tliin address was contained hi tho wordn—" It is to bo ex . iH ! uted thut
whatever is truly groat must at ita iirst ujipoaraiuo meet with some difflcultiea . " Thia was spoken with reference to the . Concordat . Tho Emperor replied ( also iu Latin ) : —" Tho glory I aspire to ia faithfully to discharge those important duties which God has imposed on mo . Ono of tho first of my duties ia to do all in i » y power that tho Concordat may bo most exactly rualiaswi Whatever you may lay before mo in reference to this great work will be graciously received mid carefully weighed .
