It has been generally understood in the German camp that the bombardment of Paris from all the batteries simultaneously would be opened on this anniversary day, which is so full of glorious remembrances to the Germans, and which has been regularly celebrated for years. The world is waiting for the events of to day.

Robert Timbers, an old of fender, was committed by the Mayor for 30 days yesterday, for drunkenness and vagrancy Accident. John Smith, an employee in the Scott Works, and residing on Franklin street above Ninth, had his hand caught in a crane yesterday afternoon, and his thumb so badly lacerated that amputation was nec essary. Burglarious Attempt. An attempt was made to enter the residence of William Castor, No. 819 Walnut street, on Tuesday morning at an early hour.

The parties were, however, frightened off before they succeeded in accomplishing their purpose. Fire. The roof of the residence of Charles Davis, No. 637 Franklin street, caught fire about noon yesterday from the chimney of an adjoining house, as is supposed, and was com pletely destroyed. The furniture wasconsid.

erably damaged by water. Sales op Real Estate. Frank B. Stras ser sold his brick dwelling house and lot of ground, 19 feet front by 180 in depth, in Ham' burg, to William L. Lcsher, for $2100.

George A. Wagoner sold a pieceof land con' taining 25 acres, situated in Upper Bern town ship, to William Wagoner at $156 per acre. Also, a piece of land containing 60 acres, situated in the same township, to Moses Mil ler, at $55 per acre. Aerial Performance. Donaldson's per formance of walking the rope across Penn Square, from the Schmucker to the Keystone House, yesterday afternoon, was witnessed by several thousands of people, the crowd being made up largely of juveniles, whose wonder was highly excited at the fc at, which was in reality a bold and daring one.

This is the second or third time that it has been performed by Prof. Donaldson in this city. The rumor that he was to transport his infant child across the rope proved unfounded. It is hardly to be believed that any man would be rash enough to try such an experiment even if the authorities should be inclined to permit it. The Pi ofessoi's feats on the trapeze show him to be an accomplished gymnast.

Crystal Club Reception. The fourth annual reception of theCrystal Key stone Opera House last evening, was an elegant affair, and fully justified the predictions of its splendid success. The decorations were upon a magnificent scale, and surpassed all previous displays. The Hall was very elaborately festooned with evergreens, which girted the walls and encircled the chandeliers. Large American flags draped the ends of the room and canopied the centre.

Paintings and hanging baskets added to the highly artistic effect of the decorations. The stage hich contained the orchestra, was beautifully arranged after the device of a "Hall of Music," pillared and arched in a showy and graceful manner. Upon the centre of the floor was inscribed the motto of wel come "Greeting to our Friends C. S. The attendance was large, comprising many from a distance.

Our neighboring city of Lancaster was liberally represented, and Leb anon, with several other towns in Lebanon county, had numerous representatives in the festive scene. The ladies displayed very elegant toilettes, and looked particularly attrac tive. A spirit of enthusiasm pervaded the as 'cinbly, which made the enjoyment of the participants an inspiring sight to the specta tors, of whom a large number were present. The opening concert by the Ringgold Band was a very entertaining introduction to the dancing preceded by the Crystal Grand March." The efficient ar rangements of the evening were under the direction of Mr. Jno.

D. Mishler as d'Affkirs," Mr. E. Livingston Jones, Director Mr. Amon L.

Boyer, Treasurer, and Messrs. Josiah W. Morris, Benjamin F. Berlin and Geo. K.

Whitner, Floor Committee. Mr. Wittich's Orchestra furnished the dancing music, between the fascinating strains of which were to be heard the warblings of tho canary birds, whose notes had been borrowed as a vocal auxiliary. Suffice it to say that the entire evening's entertainment was a most agreeable occasion, and that the participants were highly gratified with the affair, of which the Crystals have good reason to he proud. Coal.

The four great carrying companies, the Reading, the Lehigh Valley, the Lehigh Navigation and the Delaware and Lackawanna, says the Ledger, which constitute the principal lines engaged in carrying hard coal, report a weekly tonnage, for last week, of nearly 300,000 tons, and for the year 8,500, 649 tons, against 7,566,870 tons to the same time last year, being a net increase, after deducting the loss by the Reading, of 939,755 tons. There is no reason to doubt that these great lines will continue this large business, if the market will take so much coal at a price that will warrant its production. The Reading Railroad Company brought down of all kinds for the week ending on the 13th instant 1 15,100 tons against 122,746 the previous week, and for the fiscal year, begin ning Dec. 1st. 3,023,718 tons, against 8,398, 329 tons to corresponding time in last year decrease of 373.662 tons.

The Lehieh Valley Railroad continues its immense business. It last week brought down 78,923 tons, against 79,564 tons the week previous, and for the season, 3,004,121 tons, against 1,944, 853 tons to the same time last year showing an increase to the dale of its last weekly statement of 1,119,268 tons. The total product of all the anthracite, semi anthracite and bituminous coal regions for the wuck, as far as reported by the several carrying companies, is 440,164 Ions, against 432,340 tons the previous week an increase of 13,824 tons and for the fiscal year 1 1,345, 510 tons, against 12,124,090 tons to same date last year, being an increase of 2,221,420 tons In the above aggregates of coal produced last week there is included 399,670 tons of anthracite, 11,893 tons of semi anthracite, and 34, 648 of bituminous.

It has been observed that the question of the election of a City Superintendent of public schools occupied the attention of the Board of Control at its last meeting. The Board in voting to make the salary of the office the amount of the State appropriation, be twecn seven and eight hundred dollars, virtually decided to fill the office with a lady appointee. This indeed was directly stated as the issue before the vote was taken.

An animated debate on the snbject.prticipated in by a number of the leading mere brought out a good many intelligent views upon the question. The predominance of opinion is in dicated by the vote itself, which was 24 in favor of, and 7 against the amendment. It was argued by those who advocated the choice of a lady, that there are lady teachers in this city of ample ability and experience to fit them to discharge the duties of the position; that a woman would be much belter qualified to impart instruction to the lady teachers, of which the instructed? of the schools mainly consist, and lastly that the services of a woman could be obtained at a less rate than those of a male Superintendent, a desideratum of no small importance in view of the bankrupt state of the School Treasury, The advocates of a male Superintendents the other hand, urged the physical impossibility of a lady performing the duties of the position, in view of the extent of territory to be traveled over: to visit tbe different schools in the District being, in bad weather, a task to which a man of some physical stamina would alone be equal that the exercise of the duties of Secretary of the Board, which by law devolved on the Superintendent, and for which a salary of $300 is paid, is an important part of the function of that offi cer, which could not fittingly be performed by a female, who would necessarily be compelled to attend tho meetings of the Board, and tha tit would be unfair to place a lady in a superior position to the principal and teachers of the High School, to which, it was agreed, by the rules adopted, the supervision of the Superin tendent should be extended. It must be confessed that there are several weighty considerations upon both sides of the case. The question of compensation lies at the foundation of the matter.

If the Board cannot afford to pav an adequate salary, it is very evident that they cannot expect to secure a properly qualified incumbent. There is no business that will prosper by the em ployment of cheap services in any position that requires industry nnd ability in the dis charge of its duties. If a Superintendent is needed at all, a person is required who shall give his whole time to the office, and who is supposed to possess superior talents in the pro fession of an educator, united with ripe expe rience. Can such an individual male or female, be oblained for $700 $800 per annum? We believe that no one could be found to properly fill the position at that figure. The principal of the High School receives $1500, and the Super intendent, according to the rules adopted, is to be his supeiior.

If a lady is to be selected who is properly qualified, there is no reason why she should not receive compensation equivalent to that of a man chosen to the same position. Yet where is the man of sufficient attainments to qua! ify him for the Principalship of tbe High School, who could afford to make a business of overseeing the schools of Reading, and directing the efforts of one hundred teachers, and the studies of five thousand pupils, at $S00 a year, a sum that would be wholly inadequate to the support of a family upon the most economical basis The Secretaryship of the Board is a very important office. Three hundred dollars year is no excessive compensation for its services. Why should not these be performed by the Superintendent, who is to make himself acquainted with nil that is done, ind is to be called on at any time for explanations What lady could feel herself at home in the Secretary's chair, or in the bnsims i of handling tax duplicates, notifying members of meetings, seeing to the publication of official conducting the machinery of the Board, being present at all its Hings and listening to tbe discussion of un ds of the construction of school houses, digging of cel lars and cesB pools, transfers and suspensions of teachers, opposing views upon the question of taxation and expendituie, and the thousand and one subjects which require attention at the hands of a Board of School Control? The State appropriation of, say $750, and the Secretary's salary of $300 would make $1,050. Add $450, a little over the price paid first class female teachers, and a compensation of $1,500 would be made up, a figure which would command the services of a really good man.

If the person selected would not an could be tried. We are unhesi tatingly in favor of seeing women placed in any position filling the delicacy of their sex, but are also in favor of seeing them paid as liberally as men, where they discharge equal professional labor. That the Superintendency of the public schools of, the city ought to be devolved on a male instructor and not a female is a position that appears to us as having been erroneously set aside by the action of the Board, Catarrh. What a nuisance to be hawk ing, spitting, and blowing your nose, to say nothing of the inflamed throat, swollen eyes. closed up air passages, ringing in the ears, dull headache, loss or smell, and a general disagreeable, unhappy feeling throughout, the result of Catarrh.
