a WARNING TO THOSE WHO USE INK.
A very peculiar case of sickness has
recently been developed in one of the
members of a family residing in the
End--a little girl aged about fourteen
years. The child is a member of the
First intermediate School, and has
been in the habit of cleaning her pen
by sucking the ink from it, and then
swallowing the saliva thus poisoned.
And it has not been an unfrequent
thing for her to take bottle ofink and
drink from it as she would drink wa
ter. Every remonstrance of teachers
and parents was disregarded, until now
the poisonous fluid has permeated her
whole system and created a disease
which, if it does net finally battle the
best efforts of medical men in this city,
will require a long siege of sickness and
OF suffering.
The habit of cleaning pens with the
mouth is not an uncommon one, and
though the saliva may be Immediately
spit out, yet there remains enough ink
in it, if the practice is continued, to
gradually and surely pass over the sys-
tenn, and being poisonous, must do
harm. A word to the wise should be
sufficient. - Gin. Chronicle

A STRANGE Casa few days ago,

A STRANGE Casa few days ago,
a lady in jamestown, Moniteau county,
while holding her babe in her arms,
heard another child scream, that had
fallen into a kettle of hot water. She
put the babe into cradle and rushed
to save the other child, but was too
late. 1t almost Immediately ceased to
breathe, having been burned severely
inwardly.
Now comes the strange eyent--turn-

that produced its death? asks the Cali

E- The question of the payment OF
the national debt is a most vexatious
one, and it is to be hoped that the
same will be settled soon one way or
the other. Could not some one be
found patriotic enough to emulate the
example of Daniel Webster on cer-
tain occasion? Mr.. Webster was pres
ent once at dinner when the prompt
payment of the national debt was made
one of the toasts, to which he was
called upon to respond. Dwelling on
the Importance and necessity of pay
ment, he declared emphatically that
the debt must and should be paid. He
grew still more emphatic, and, reach
ing his hand deep down into his pocket,
exclaimed in a..voice of thunder 81 say
the national debt shall be paid. How
much is it? I'll pay it myself.

Our Legation In Spain.

From the ". Y. Herald.
The great importance of the questions grow
ing out of the present struggle in Cuba makes
IL urgent upon the new administration to see
that our interests in Spain are oompetently
handled and looked after, and our legation to
Madrid should, therefore, be put in the best
possible condition, with live and bold repre-
sentative of the ideas of the President at the
head of it. At the moment when least ex-
pected some question may be sprung by the
course of events which will require immedi-
ate but judicious handling, and Minister Hale,
who has been now for some years in Europe,
can hardly be in such thorough rapport with
the administration as our needs require.
Besides, the quarrel which has so long ex-
listed between himself and the Secretary of
Legation has in large degree diminished the
moral power of the mission and created the
necessity for the infusion of new blood into
it. A new secretary has been recently ap-
pointed, but it cannot be claimed that he shall
inspire the head OF the legation with the new
ideas which have germinated here in the past
six months, and which the fires of the Cuba
revolution are ripening in the minds of the
American people. The Importance OF the
questions pressing upon us require first
class man in Madrid, and we hope President
Grant will soon give the matter his personal
attention.

Army Changes.
from the ". Y. Herald.

from The ". 7. Herald.
An attempt is on foot to make some politi-
cal capital out of certain phases of General
Sherman's vigorous army administration.
We hear of astonishing sympathy for this
officer who is sent to 'exile" on the Plains,
or for that one who is mustered out, and alto
gether that the movement of regiments from
one place to another is very suspicious and
expensive piece of tyranny. 1t was acknow-
lodged on all hands that our army was too
large for time of peace, and in cutting down
an army we suppose somebody must be cut
out OF It. Is there an officer left in who is not
q faithful and good soldier 2 We doubt it.
II, then, any that are in had been mustered
out in the change there would have been
the same cause of clamor from their direc-
ton as there is now on behalf of the many
gallant men left without places. Otherwise
Sherman is doing with the army just
what Porter justly does with the navy. In
both services there are posts that are pleasant
and posts that are not pleasant. Shall one
set Of officers always have the rough and
another always the smoothf Porter changes
men from the Mediterranean to the West
Indies, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific
to equalize what there may be of hardship
and what there may be OF agreeable in duty.
1t Is the same in the army. Some officers
would desire to be always in the luxury of the
Crescent City, or to enjoy the edible and other
delights of Baltimore, or to forget all else in
the varied dissipations OF our city, but for
this others must live the neighbor of the In
dian, share his fare practically, lead mise
rable life of frontier, with even an exceedingly
small chance for glory. That would be un-
Just, and to prevent such injustice Sherman
moves the army to and fro between all the
points; and generous men who have beer
having good time on the pleasanter posts
feel that It would be ill-natured to grumblt
now at harder ones.

Four Years. Suspension of the Tenure.Or.
Office Act.

From the ~. T. World.
The Republican leaders2n Washington stand
upon the brink of one of the most damaging
blunders ever perpetrated by political party.
The ReFublican Senators, divided between a
repeal and an eight months suspension of the
Tenure Of Office act, seem disposed to compro-
mise an irreconcilsble difference by suspend
ing the law for four years. This would be
concession TO General Grant of all the liberty
which he demands during his term, and would
probably be accepted by him without further
remonstrance. He has extorted this concession
from the upholders of the law by announcing
his intention TO make no removals unless he
can have full liberty of action during the
whole of his term. The Republicans wish all
OF President Johnson's appointees to be turned
adrift; and those appointees are numerous
enough to render their election an important
party object. When Mr.. Johnson became
President, at the close Of the war, there was
not a Federal civil officer in the whole length
and breadth of the rebellious States. All the
civil officers in ten large States are his cIea-
lures, besides the numerous appointments he
made in the Northern States to fill the vacan-
cies which occurred during his term. The
proposed suspension of the Tenure-of Office
act for eight months was intended to afford
General Grant an opportunity to remove these
and appoint Republicans in their places. But
his refusal to use this liberty, and the known
obstinacy Of his character. have checkmated
the movement. General Grant wants a sscond
term; he knows that he can be re- 81 cted only nv
getting the Republican nomination; and the
power of removal during the last year or two
of his present term is his chief reliance for
packing and controlling the Republican Con-
vention. His refusal to make removals dur
ing an eight months suspension of the law is
an adroit and effective move, which oompels
the Republican party to give up the fruits Of
