There is wailing and gnashing ol teeth among the applicants for teachers' cortlllcates who were examined yesler- day , s.iys the San Francisco Chronicle. Of the total of forty-six who entered the lists on Monday only eleven succeeded in passing the examination. The re maining thirty -live encountered a stum bling block which was as unexpected as it was disastrous. The stumbling block was the follow ing pu/.zling quosUon in grammar. The armaments which thumlor-strilto the walls Of rock-built rltins , bidding nations quake And monarulH tremble In their capitals ; Their clay creator their vain tlllo take Of lord of theo anil nrbitet of war.

( ( ! ) Put this stanza , into a paragraph of plain prose , as free as possible' from rhetorical figures and style. The total { > f credits in the examina tion in grammar was eighty , but the un fortunate applicants who failed to cor rectly answer the question quoted lost forty credits , thus rendering it impossi ble to pass. That the question was a Waterloo to most of the applicants ex amined is evidenced by the fact that as stated , that of forty-six only cloven suc ceeded in answering it correctly. The percentage of failure on this account is greater this year than over before in ttiis city. Director Woodward states that it is his intention to bring the matter to the attention of the Hoard of Education , with a view of eliminating the question propounded by the Hoard of lO.xamlncrs and giving the disappointed applicants nnouior cuaii'jo. ' nearly vait ol tnom passed satisfactory examinations in the other studies , but their failure in gram mar barred them from receiving cert Ill- cat ca until the next , examination. Ho frays the question was too deep for second grade applicants , and they should not have been required to 'an swer it. at S 'ViMitiKii. My first meeting with Henry Ward Hcecher was in the early part of May , I80. ! lie was a classmate of a brother of mine , in Amherst college , and very close friends. The two wore just out of their fresiiman year when , together with another college classmate , they walked from Amherst to my father's house at west Sutton for their spring vacation , writes Mrs. Henry Ward Heechor in the first paper on "Mr. Hccdicr a-s 1 Know Him , " in the October Ladies' Homo .lourn- il. At that time young Hoidior was not quite 17 years old. ) t so young and boyish was his ap- loaranee that no one would have thought dm more than ISan ago when boys arc usually awkward and painfully bashful. [ ' " "or that reason my family feared wo night not bo able to entertain or make the young man comfortable. Hut awk ward ho never was , and his roguish iiOiitli , his laughing , mo/ry eyes , his quaint humor , and his quick repartee ' -oon dispelled all such anxiety. Hoforo the first evening ho spent at our hoiij-o had passed , none of the family felt him to bo a stranger. M\ ' father was absent with : -oino of his latients when the young men airived , jut returned 111 the evening when all wore laughing heartily at some story Henry had just told. Father stood in the doorw.iy tall , dignified and some what stem , at such a tumult. When iwaro of his presence , my brother at once introduced his classmates. Little by little the same subtle inllu- oncos which hud pervaded the whole evening's enjoyment stole over father's face , and long before it w.is time lo re tire , they wore tolling mirth-provoking stories as cheoi fully as if they wore boys together. When at length the "good nights'1 wore oxchatiired I left father ami niolher by the lire I made some prepa rations for breakfast. As 1 returned to the room father was saying : "Woll , ho is smart ! Ho'll make his mnrlc in the world if ho lives. " "Who , father1" ; I asked. "Why , tlnil young Heechor. " Such was Henry Wa : ' .I Heojhor when 1 first saw him ; and , tnith lo loll , ho was not remarkable for his bounty. ItMiny LInd'H Tribute ( o I'ayuo.
