REFORM SCHOOL FOR GIRLs.-Those who
were at the Municipal Court Saturday morn
ing, must have seen the necessity of State
Reform School for girls. A young lady was
brought before the court Tor larceny of money,
and although she pleaded guilty, and acknowl
edged at once that she took the amount, she
probably had the sympathy Of every person in
the court room, not excepting the complainant.
For her youthful and handsome face had not
a line of dishonesty about it, and in all proba-
blity this action was forced upon her by pow
erty and pride. She couldn't have been more
than IS years of age, and yet she is sentenced
to 60 days in the County Jail. which is always
to be stigma on her after life. How much
better if she could have been sent to Reform
School. 8,--. .sS. r-Nt. t.- t5 Fi#.@

The SUBDIVISION of the large plantations of
the South, to which we have referred at length
in another column, is regarded by ex Cover
nor Brown of Georgia as blessing to the
country. In recent letter he expresses the
following sensible views:
Slavery is abolished. The large landed aris-
tocracy of the State is broken down. The old
plantation system must be abandoned. We
must divide the country into small tracts.
Those who own large tracts should sell out, at
reasonable prices, small farms to those who
cultivate the soil, but who are not now inter
esed in it as owners. This would attach our
people more firmly to their present homes, and
induce others to settle among us.

DEsTITUTIoN IN THE SoUTH.-A Washington

close attention to the condition of affairs in
the South and while he does not believe des-
titution is as great as is represented by the
Southern press, he is convinced that some
measures of relief should be adopted oy oon-
gress. Several plans have been submitted 10

vides for six per cent. government loan Of

government so long as the necessity for its is
