The Local Paner.

The following tribute to the local
paper from the Chicago Republican,
contains so much truth that we
transfer it to our columns, and CON-
mend it to the careful consideration
of our business men and those in
terested in our city: s'What tells
SO readily the standard of town or
city as the appearace of its paper2
And its youth or its age can as well
be determined by the observing as
by personal notice. The enter
prise of its citizens is depicted by
it's advertisements, their liberality
by the looks of the paper. Some
papers show a good, solid, healthy
foundation. plethoric purses, and q
well-to-do appearance generally;
others show striving to contend
with the grasping thousands around
them, trying hard to wrench out an
existence from the close fsted COM
munity around them. An occasion
al meteoric display in its columns
Of editorials, show what it can do if
itihad the means, but it cannot con-
tinue in expensive work until sup
port comes which ought to be read
lily granted. Take your home pa
per; it gives you more news of i'm
mediate interest than New York OR
other papers; but talks for you
when other localities belle you; it
stands up for your rights; you
always have a champion in your
home paper, and those who stand
up for you should certainly be sus-
tanned. Your interests are kindred
an. equal, and you must rise or fall
together. Therefore it is to your
interest to support your home pa
per. not grudgingly. but in liberal
spirit; as pleasure, not as disa-
greeable duty; but as an investment
that will amply pay the expendi-
ture."

Murder i'll the School Room.

The St. Lonis Republican says
Last week Mr.. Edward Atkins
came to St. Louis from Chicago to
take a position in the Republican
news-room, expecting his family to
follow in a few weeks. Scarcely
had he arrived, when he received a
dispatch stating that his little boy,
seven years of age, was very ill.
While making preparations to re
turn to Chicago, another message
conveyed the sad and startling news
that younger child was not ex-
pected to live. Mr.. Atkins reached
Chicago on the morning of the 18th,
and found his youngest child dead
from congestion of the lungs. In
regard to the condition of the other,
the following extract from a hasty
note written by Mr. A. tells tale of
atrocity enough to freezc the blood :
"Willie is very low, and we have
but little hope of his recovery. He
stated to school well and strong.
During school hours he VIC
lated one Of the rules by playing
with some of the boys, when the
teacher, "a woman). caught him by
the hair and dragged him across the
room, pounded him with ruler on
the head. neck and back, and then
threw him against a steam pipe,
fracturing his skull! His right side
is paralyzed from head to foot The
second day he had eight paroxysms
in one hour. This morning he is a
little ersier."
The Chicago Times gives the
name of the teacher as Adelaide
Herrick, represented to be per-
son about nineteen years Of age,
and of very violent and ungovern-
ed temper" The Times, after Civ
ing an account of the manner of
says:
"After school the child went home
and reported the treatment he had
undergone. He complained of pain
in the head; but it was not suppos-
ed to be anything serious until,
some time in the night. brain fever
set in, ard the child became raving
crazy. In the insanity Of fever. the
little one continually cried out:
'.Don't strike me! Oh, don't. don't.
strike mer' In this state the child
has continued since Thursday last.
There is said to be no hope of re-
covery."

The New York Sun thinks that
the appointment of General Belknap
Secretary Of War lis a political
blunder of the same sort as the APP
pOintment Of Mr. Stewart. Mr. Ham
ilton Fish, MIR Borie and Mr.. Robe
son. In the light of the recent
elections this sort of thing sounds
oddly enough. The truth is, it was
the strength and popularity of Gen.
Grants administration with the peo-
pie that gave us the victory. We
undertake to say that the people
don't care fig about the personnel
of the Cabinet. They are satisfied
with the way things are going.
They look to results and readily
conclude that, although the Cabinet
is in some respects somew hat sin
gular, General Grants way is 4 good
one. We venture to suggest that
the Sun might just as well adopt
new line in critleising General
Grant.-Pnts5urqh Commercial.

The live stock and wagons belong
ing to Thayer's Circus, which had
gone into winter quarters at this
pla, e, were attached last week to
satisfy a Cincinnati printers bill,
amounting to over $4,000. There
arc some so or 40 horses, and

about so setts of harness. We no.
tice by the Cincinnati papers that
the Sheriff of Hamilton County also
"went for'' the balance of the Cir
Gus property, now in that city, last
week, to satisfy a New York print

the performers in the company. 1t

appointed who will take charge and

A Bad Practice.

An eminent Physician in Hearth
and Home, says:
''It is common practice of nurses
md parents to grasp children by q

bodily, as in stepl ing over cutters.

round with great force, the body
being held nearly at right angles.

Immediate i'll effects, but it is liable
to result in most serious injury. At
his period Of life, the ends of the
long bones are united to the shafts
by cartilage, which renders them
weak and very liable to be distorted
b. force. There are three of these
bones in the arm; one between tho
shoulder and the elbow, and two
between the elbow and wrist. The
arm of the child is, therefore. very
weak. When extension is made at
the hand, the force is not expanded
upon long, finn bones, but rather
upon bones broken at several points,
and very loosely united. A small
force, far less than is required to
fracture fully formed bone, will
separate the cartilaginous portions,
or permanently bend them. There is
also another form of injury which
NAV occur at the instant. Ofthis

by pain, swelling, and tenderness.
The joint is fixed in a semi-fexed

not allow it to be moved or even
handled. 1t can be easily rectifed
by surgeon, by forcible flextion
and extension. Finally, by lifting
Child in this manner the ligaments
about the joints may be extcl ded,
and this will weaken the joints and
this weakness may remain as per-
manent disability.

~ The practical result of run
ming temperance candidates for Of
office, as against the candidates of
political parties was shown at the
recent election in Allegheny County.
F Fennsylvania--The temperance men
nominated a candidate for County
Commissioner, and the following
was the result: Bostwick, Republi-
can. 9433: Dickery, Temperance.
10.001; McGee, Democrat, 11,767.
Running the temperance candidate
resulted. therefore, in the election
of the free liquor candidate. Nc.

the percentage of the Democrats

The Gettysburg Battlefield.

The mind never tires of the ac-
counts of great conflicts. The ''old
old stories Of the Revolutionary
war vet have a freshness on each
repetition, as also do the reports OF
the battles of Napoleon and other
modern commanders. So are. and
for hundreds of years will be, the
stories Of our great rebellion. Re
peat them as often as We may. each
repetition will be invested with re
newed interest. The Boston Con

a visit to the Gettysburg battlefield,
from which we take the following
Gettysburg is like the hub of a

the town on Friday, June %, yell

Western wllds, shooting down citi-

The last great conflict of the war
had been our terrible defeat at Chan
cellorsville, May 2d, and Sd. Gen.
Hooker had been superseded by
Gen. Meade, the country was anx-

boastful, had started on the long
promised invasion of the North,
while our army kept along on their
left. between them and Baltimore
and Philadelphia.
