EXPLANATION OF STATISTICS
The enumeration of school children
in the State Of Indiana. for the year
1868, shows Evansville to be the third
city on the list, when, in fact, it ought
to be the second. The city school
districts are not necessarily confined
to the city limits. as in Evansville.
but may, as in the cause of Fort
Wayne, embrace such part Of the
township as may be transferred to
the city district The enumeration
of school children for Fort Wayne is
reported as 1916, aud for Evansville
1884.
But at the October election the
number of votes cast at Fort Wayne
was 3.177. and at the November cleo
ton 1855; while in Evansville in Oc-
tober the number Of votes cast was
4.507, and in November 4 AS. 1t
should also be borne in mind that the
School fund is apportioned upon the
basis Of the enumeration of children,
and holds out strong temptation to
fictitious figures.

HEARTH AND HOME is the title of
new and elegant Weekly, published
by Pettingill. Bates & Co., IN New
York. 1t is designed especially for
circulation among families, and con-
tains articles for the Farm, Garden,
and Fireside. It is edited by Donald
g. Mitchell and Harriet Beecher
Stowe. It is finely illustrated by
Mast and other eminent artists, and
promises to be one of the most pop
ular aud instructive literary papers
in the country.
THE RIVERSIDE begins its third
year with the number for January,
and sets out with all sails flying. A
brisk frontispiece, By CORTLAND Hop
pin. the Sleighing Party racing home
by moonlight, is in keeping with the
dash of the Magazine. Hans Ander-
sen rightly leads off the literary part
with a story called the Court Cards,
written expressly for the RiUerside
the author, who is paid literally, will
not publish the story in Denmark till
he sees it in the American Magazine.
1t is striking story, cleverly illus
trated by NJ i. Stone, who also illus
trates prettily story with the mystic
rious title 1t, by the author of the
Susy Books. Mrs. Weeks begins a
serial of life among the Indians; a
South African Hunter gives his ad-
ventures in Quagga Hunting; the
sculptor Kunize tells How Statues
are made; there are some fairy verses
and pictures, and an amusing set of
pictures made by some children. The
number properly contains also a
sketch of Hans Andersen's life, and
fine wool-cut portrait. Published
by Hurd & Houghton, New York

While on this topic we are disposed
to notice the following paragraph
from the New Albany Commercial.
the self constituted organ of the Re
gulators:
The Evansville JOURNAL is very
sorry, 1t " exceedingly regrets our
position. 1t pleases that profound
paper to indulge IN solemn homilies
on mob law, in which it reiterates with
refreshing originality many truisms
which nobody ever questioned. 1t is
grave, gracious, sapient, sad.
The Commercial further accuses us
of being Utterly unable to get out of
the old and well worn ruts of news
paper twaddle-positively incapable
of rising above the level of ordinary
newspaper ORWELL The Commercials
idea of getting above newspaper
twaddle and drivel," is to apologize
for, Justify. and even endorse, coward
ly murder. We have no ambition to
rise in that way. We cheerfully con-
code the Commercial a monopoly Of
that journalistic field. We much pre-
fer to stand by the laws, though to do
so may keep US in the :" old and well
worn rut of newspaper twaddle."
We confess that we did regret "
the position taken by the Commercial,
aud were sorry" But we cannot
say that we were surprised. We do
now say that we are surprised that we
we're sorry.
1t may be that the Commercial
has contempt for all law,
and thinks that the. action of
Vigilance Committees would be far
preferable. But would the Com
nsercial have regarded Congressman
KERR, at the time it assaulted him,
justified in organizing Vigilance Com
mittee and Furnishing its editor with
death, while he was in custody of the
law for libel? There is no limiting
mobs and Vigilance Committees, and
whoever approves their conduct or
encourages them in their lawless pro-
ceedings is an enemy to social order.
We are not surprised that the Conn
nlercia1 grows restless under the criti-
cisms of its cotemporaries. But its
display of ill-temper does not in the
least mitigate its folly in attempting
to be original at the sacrifice Of self
respect and the respect of the law
abiding people of the State.

The Toledo Blade, in an editorial
notice of the friendly contest for the
Senatorship, now going on in this
State, says: Hon. RICHARD w.
THOMPSON seems to lead the field for
the Indiana United States Senator
ship, though he has half dozen com
petitors. We trust he may succeed.
He is the ablest sman in State
which is distinguished by so many
able Rspublicans-LANE, MORTON,
CoLFAx, CUMBAoK, JULIAN, and the
rest" The political sagaeity that
p aces Senator LANE at the head of
the Republican column in Indiana
giving him precedence over MORTON,
CoLFAx, BAKER and CUMBACK, is not
entitled to much respect. Col.
THOMPSON, if elected to the United
States Senate, would make an efficient
and creditable representative of the
State, but the claim set up for him by
the Blade, that he is the ablest man
in the State, will be disputed by a
great many.

Pursuit OF knowledge under Difficulties.

Pursuit OF knowledge under Difficulties.
The following remarkable instance of de-
yotion TO the cause of science is related by
foreign paper. Such peculiar develop
ment of the passion for knowledge must be
rather inconvenient sometimes for the friends
of the student Awkward accidents might
happen:
A young lady of Munich, named Erminia
Schlug, was detected IN a singular crime. For
sone weeks the families inhab. ting the hotel
in which Miss Schug lived had been subject
to frequent, alarming, but exceedingly varied
attacks OF illness. After a long police inves-
tIsation il was discovered that the young lady
had lover, a student named Won Beck, who
was so enthusiastically devoted to pny siology,
toxicology, and similar branches of study,
that he spared no one as subject tor his ex-
periments. Much of his time was spent in
devising or investigating the most subtle poi
sons, and those most difficult of detection,
and his mistress aided him in these studies
by administering his drugs to her fellow ten
ants. Tue trial revealed the tact that Won
Beck and Erminia had spared themselves as
little as other people, their bodies being
marked with the scars of experiments which
had involved teri BILE amount OF long-con
tnued pain, while the young lady boosted
with triumph OF the poisons and antdotes
which she had swallowed. The PAIR escaped
with nominal punishment, and received a
decided eulOgy in the columns of the Tag
blatt Tor their "heroic, though mistaken, de-
vOtIon to the cause of science"
