SCHOOL QUESTION AT BALTIMoRE.-In
! looking over the reported proceedings of
the great public meeting held III Balt:-
more on Monday evening last, we find
the following stated TO be the objection
able feature in the bill for recognizing
the common school system, now before
the Maryland legislature-"to take por-
ton of the public funds for the support
of any school which will teach gratuit-
ousiy, in proportion to the number of
children taught" 1t will be perceived
that it is but an indirect way of arriving
at this point, viz: that each dennmina-
ton that chooses TO open free school
shall receive from the public treasury of
the school fund in proportion to the num-
Der Of children taught; as pretty way
of destroying the common school system
as could be devised. Indeed, there can
be no common school system with such
division of the fund.- The system would
be a sectarian one, free for all children
of the peculiar sect of the particular
school in which they happen to be. The
Methodists, and Presby terians, and Bap-
tists and Catholics, and Uriversallsts.
and other denomina lions, would then
each have their schools, and those who
are not adherents Of either would have
their separate schools, and the system of
common schools as they now exist. would
be nowhere. Not only that, but those
who pay the most taxes would be most
likely to have the fewest children to ed
ucate. The best. in our opinion, is TO
stick to the present system.
The committee appointed at the meet
ing above referred 10, have returned from
Annapolis. the seat of government, and
report that the obnoxious school bill Will
not receive ten votes in the legislature.
That is as it should be.

SENSIBLE TO THE LAsT.-lt has long
been observed by medical writers that
death is frequently preceded by insanity,
a fac. which has Occasioned the remark
that it was not astonishing. for every
body knew that when folks get madder
they were about to dye. This reminds
us of case which occurred many years
ago in the Philadelphia court, where
pretty young widow was in danger OF
losing two thirds of her husbands rs Ia te'
his relatives grounding their claim on tle
aIledged insanity of the dcfunct. Il may
be as we'll TO premise that the presiding
Judge was not only convivial but also
very gallant.
What were your husbands last words?'
inquired the attorney.
The pretty young widow blushed. and
looked down, and replied, I'd rather not
tell
But indeed you must ma'am. Your
claim may De decided bv it,
Still blushing the widow declined to
tell. At last direct appeal from the
bench elected the information.
He said. kiss me Polly, and open that
other bottle of champagne!
We know not whether it was admira-
ton for the deceased husband or the liv-
ing wife that inspired the judge at this
instant, but he at once cried with all the
enthusiasm Of conviction, sensible to
the LASTLY Blackstone
0SQuite a merriment was excited
in the circuit court at Charlottesville, by
the singular charge of the Judge to the
Jury, who were about to retire for con-
sultstion in the case of Ledly. The Jury
were instructed that should they find the
prisoner guilty, they should sentence him
to the Indiana Legislature number of
years. The humane Jury wisely deter
mined that such a punishment would be
too severe. and sentenced Ledly to the
State Prison for thirteen years. OF course
it was a slip of the tongue on the part Of
Judge Bryant.-Ldf. Cour.

THE Way TO SPoL PoTAToEs.-It is
a little singular that many who are other
wise excellent cooks are ignorant of the
mode Of serving up boiled potatoes.
Instead of the rich, dry, mealy vegeta-
bles, theirs are invariably "soggy" and
heavy as bread when the yeast is worth
less. Their method of spelling potatoes
after they are well cooked is wonderfully
simple. They place over the dish con-
tanning them. hot and smoking from The
boiler, a fight coper, and keep it there
