CURRENT NOTES.

A BRIGIT little girl Of thirteen, at Ger.
mautown, while Cndcavoring TO master o
difficult lesson 0t her home few evenings
ago. was suddenly seized with brain fever
and fell helpless upon the floor. On the
following morning, She died. Many
"briSEf little" children are severely in
iurcd, II not killed outright, by over study.
When child quits school for home It
should leave It's studies behind. Nothing
but physical and mental damage occurs
from the "Cramming" process.
TIE Springfield (NIass.) Republican tells
sad story about ayOung man who, while
with some companions examining Sate,
entered IL and closed the door. "But the.
lock sprung 10 lis place, and the poor
youth was buried alive! Tie man who
had the key was two miles distant, and
the immurcd would die in five minutes.
Hammers and chlsOls were brought into
use and the door opened, and tie almost
dead man crawled out Of his too SatO re-
treat"
4 CoMASCHR INDIAN II few day ago
brought his sQuaw to pioneer artist TO
have hGr picture taken. Tho artist got
the suuaw in position, when the old Ca
mahchc thought he would investigate the
mystery Of making squaw's pictures. He
accordingly FUSED the cloth and looked
into the camera, when he was astonished
10 find his wife standing on her head At
this he grew indignant, and even beat hcr
for assuming such an undignifed position
hcfnro the soldiers, but as she stOutly de.
MED tic offence, ho continued his expert
nicnts, and ut last came TO the conclusion
that a machine that could stand squaw
on her head in half second, without
her knowing anything about 1t, was OK
Ceedingly bud medicine.
THERE seems to DO but little prospect
Of an adjournment Of Congress until juno,
and perhaps July next, as an immense
amount Of business remains to be disposed
of. even at tho Close Of three months con.
tinuous work. The Affairs Of several re-
constructed States and rcvisions Of the
taxes neCcssit0tcd by the change in our
national financial prospects arc matters
which demand the first attention, and
then there remain o thousand and one
lesser matters, private bills, SC, which
promise to prolOng tho session to q late
day.
Gov, FArRCHILD, of Wisconsin, Inns re-
commended TO the Legislature an amend.
ment 10 tic State Constitution prohibiting
special legislation in many particulars,
saying that under general laws towns and
villages can be incorporated, manulactur-
ing and other corporations formed, taxes
assessed and collected, the school fund
apportioncd and county seats changed
llpon Il verdict Of the people. and that In
all cases relating to changing Of names,
constituting one person the hcir-at'law Of
another, LAYING out of roads, licensing Of
ferries, authorizing the sale Of lands Of
minors and others under disability, ample
powers arc now conferred by law upon
Courts and Boards Of Supervisors, which
arc manilcstly most competent to legtslate
upon matters so purely private and local,
and can net upon them more cautiously
and considerably, and more in accord
anCo with tho sentiment of tho commune
ty. ....
BosroS complains that in only one Of
its places Of amusement Is proper care
paid to ventilation, and says that tho pub.
lie have right to demand oxygen, II
nothing else, nj such place.
