Panslavism which has become national
cause among Russians. The Austrian Gen.
Turr has replied to him ably, but
has been compelled to say to his fellow-towns-
men that mot to see the danger is blindness /;
"not to wish to see it is sinful deception"
Not the diplomacy of Austria or the strength
of Turkey, and certainly not the wishes of
Prussia, will be such bar to the schemes of
Russia as the presence at this moment in its
borders of conspiracy of which we have
probably not heard the end. Polish hate, Rus
sian plotting. Cossack disorder, all suggest the
elements of internal weakness which must act
restrainingly upon the designs of the Car.

That which we have, with painful conf
dence, long anticipated, has come at last. In
November. 1869, in the Skinner School, i'll Chi
cago, the teacher had a difficulty with lad
named Willie Atkins. This boy chad pre-
" vously been affected with difficulty in the
"head," and was. therefore, entitled to the
patience and consideration of the teacher, who
nevertheless undertook to fog him. struggle
ensued in the course of which the boys head
struck violently against steam pipe. Since
that time he has remained unconscious and
absolutely dumb, until, on the 2Sth OF
last month. death came mercifully to
relieve him from present and future mis-
cry. This is plain case of homicide
lustfabe, may be, by the maxim of Solomon
we may call it boy slaughter in the sixth or
sixteenth degree but it is n killing after all
possible excavations. This question then
arises How often, in the discipline of n
school. will it be necessary to kill boy Ia
question of decided interest to parents, to
guardians, and to the public at large How
many such murders will Committees allow an
nualy to each SCHOOL, In teaching the young
idea how to shoot, how often will it be neces-
sary to finally extinguish the young idea, con-
signing 1t to cold obstruction, and abandoning
all chance of any further shooting" alto

1t is little strange that the head of
child, being that part for the cultivation and
development of which schools are said to be
established and maintained, should be the very
corporal locality against which teachers appear
to entertain Il peculiar spite-thumping it,
drumming on it, cutting it, and treating it as
if the skull were of cast iron rveted like
steam boiler and not of bone still in a pulpy
state. Upon this tender organ the passionate
teacher advances with clenched fist, with open
palm, with the Oaken ferrule. He declares war
against the medalta Oblongata he vents his
spleen upon the cerebrum; he smites fero-
ciously the cerebeIlum, just as if he were
hired by society to manufacture the
largest possible number of idiots in the small
est possible time. lie Las SO often declared
the cranial cavity of his victim to be empty,
and the cranal walls to be disgracefully thick,
that he plays his tattoo and reveille upon the
dome of thought as if it were the bottom of
tin kettle. Nothing is more handy than the
head A boy cannot put it into his pocket, as
he puts his fist. There it is, n fair, open and
convenient mark for boxing, shifting, hitting,
cutting, and with its ears always ready for an
auxiliary pull. Boards of Education are usually

Somebody in the Legislature proposes a bill
to reduce pawnbrOker's interest to seven per
cent. 1t will not work. There have been a
dozen plans within as many years for modify
ing the pawning system, but none of them
have had even trial. 1t is easy to say that
only fifteen, or ten, or seven per cent shall be
taken but the limitation will never be en-
forced. The necessity that drives one to the
pawnbroker knows no law and cares for none.
The only way to escape the eXtortion Of
twenty-five per cent or loss of pledged
property, is to keep away from the
pawnbroker, Whose business is substantially
the same as it was hundred years
ago, and is one Of the evils consequent upon
improvidence and dissipation. If the patrons
of such establishments would spend four
fifths less for whisky and idle pleasure, they
might laugh at the proprietors. The business,
however, thrives and expands daily, and the
thrifty proprietors rapidly accumulate large
fortunes. Some time ago bill was passed to
establish a great Mont de Piete, whereby the
really suffering poor could be accommodated
at reasonable rate, ten per cent we think;
but nothing came of it. There is too much
money on the other side. Twenty-Five per
cent can afford to be liberal, as Albany law
makers well know.

The governing Canadians have hit upon
logical escape from their Winnepeg troubles,
if the rebellion will but please to give out by
next May. The Hudson Bay Company are
still by title the owning and ruling power of
Rupert's Land, inasmuch as their territory
will not be purchased and transferred till
the 18th of May next. Consequently,
they will have to be responsible for
all intervening wear and tear of terri
torial fixtures and appurtenances. Any de-
probation of the proposed bargain between
them aud the Ottawa Cabinet will, by advice
of Earl Granville, be deducted out of the one
million and half dollars to be paid them i'll
May. We conceive this to be quite rational,
so far as it goes. Nevertheless, it will not re-
lease the Canadians from n nettesome respon-
sibilty if the Winnipeg business is protracted.

The general moral of the contest in Cuba
now prolonged for year and half, and
made an enigma to some and an outrage to
others-is that fiction does not pay as means
of carrying on war. Whether Spaniard or
Cuban be responsible for the terrible roor-
back that $50 men were slaughtered in
Havana. it equally fails but tho public

MEETING OF MECHANIcs.-A meeting of
the mechanics of the city was held yester-
day evening at the Mechanics Exchange to
deliberate upon measures necessary to in
sure protection to themselves against loss
in the erection and repair Of buildings.
Mr.. WA. Forbes was called to the chair,
and Mr.. Leroy A. Crenshaw made secretary.
Mr.. Asa Snyder thought that the resnact-
ment of the old lien law, which had expired
by limitation, would accomplish the object
desired. 1t had worked satisfactorily to all
parties concerned while in operation, and
the Legislature would doubtless renew it if
memorialized on the subject. i
Mr.. Robert Crump had heard it said that
that law was defective in ssme respects. 1t
would be better to examine those in opera
tion in northern cities, and get the best one
enacted that could be had. He would
move the appointment of committee to
examine the bject thoroughly and to pre-
pare a memorial containing the necessary
recommendations They could report to a
subsequent meeting, and have everything
ready before the Legislature assembled.
Mr.. John ellison said that the old law
had been drawn up by Judge Ould, and

very good one. Still, if better one
could be framed he should be glad.
Mr.. Crump's motion was put, and
adopted.
The Chairman appointed Messrs. Asa
Snyder, John Gilson, Nathan D. Hardgroye,
Robert Crump, and Leroy A. Crenshaw, a
committee and they were instructed to re-
port at meeting WHICH is to be held on
Monday night next.
The meeting then adjourned.

The MIGRATION OF FIsH.-Attention has
recently been directed to the appearance of
81 new and strange fish in the waters of
Lake Ontario, Seneca Lake, and other lakes
in the interior of New York State. Speci-
mems were sent to Professor Agassiz, who
pronounced the fish to be g fresh water
alewife," but did not attempt to account for
its presence in the lakes. It, however, was
supposed that the fish had come into the
lakes from the Atlantic, by way of the St.
Lawrence, and this theory has been con-
tirmed from the fact that Professor Seth
Greene has just discovered the same fish in
Chesapeake Bay, where it is known under
different names; at Baltimore, as brim
shad or mud shad, and ut Norfolk as
the gizzard shad, from its having q
muscular stomach like the gizzard Of q
bird. Professor Greene is satisfied that
the fish in the New York lakes are of pre-
,cisely the same species as those in the Ches-.
1apeake Bay, and have made their way III up
the st. Lawrence, and then by the canals
and rivers into the interior lakes. Seneca
Lake abounds with large shoals: OF these
