Notable Legislation of The Session Just
Closed,

The first act of the session was the re-
peal OF the boiler law, in accordance
with ali almost universal demand. The
awkward blunder by which Democrat
c legislature had made it Illegal for
young women of eighteen years Of age
and upward 10 be married without con-
sent OF theirpa .ents or guardians, was
remedie6 soon after, to the great relief of
sundry sorrowing dam,eia. The Agri-
cultural College matter wac placed in
train for final disposition. The bill
legaliZing dissection under restrictions
was notable progress in -liberaiity.
The act to relieve the Jadges OF the Su-
prem Court from service III the District
Courts should be placed Oh record,
among the changes of legislation. That
providing for minority representation on
election boards is good thing. The
bitter partizan legislation of late Demo-
cratic legislature was al! repealed, eX-
cept the Students Voting Law. A bill
for the repeal of this also passed the
Senate, bat did not receive constitu-
tioni majority Ill the House, although
all the Republicans voted for it, An
act to be noted at election time is the
one to protect pollbooks and prevent
ballot-boX stuffing. The Soldiers Or
phans' Home law is among the NEST
creditaGle things Ofthe session-the final
caving in of nearly ali Democratic op-
position is especially gratifying. A new
thing is the act 10 authorize county
commissioners to provide schools for
children in infirmaries. The removal of
the site of theGeneral Lunatic Asylum
should be recorded. The municipal
code revision was important matter.
The cival code amendments were sensi-
bly, put in an omnibus bill. An act of
general interest is the Que providing
that Boards of Education can eXpei
children from schools only upon full
hearing, and by majority vose. There
are only seventy-two general acts, in all
and it can be safely said that there has
been less buncombe legislation, and
less of the mischievous special, tinker
ing business this session, than at any
other session within the memory of the
oldest inhabitant. The member OF
Podunk, who came with his little bill to
change the code so as 10 fit a Case on
trial before Squire Jones, and that class
of legislators, seem to have returned to
their native wilds without imprinting
their hoOfs on the statute book. For
which let Us give thanks. 1t is much
that General Assembly should do
wise things; it is much more that it
should omit to do foolish or unnecessary

CINCINNATI, April 18th.
Attended service at the Jewish Syn
ag0gUe. The granduer and magniiicence
OF the temple cannot be described. Sub
ject discussei-The relation of Church
and State. Exercises, reading fthe roll
aud readings of the scriptures in He
brew. Persons visiting the temple will
not remove their hats duling service.
BEAUTY AND WEALTH.
TO attempt to descrioe ina news
paper paragraph the beauty and wealth
of the city would be futile. We can gaze
upon the noble buiIdings-the lovely
parks-the beautiful Cemeteries-the
gorgeous palaces Of fashion and art
bus we cannot describe them to you
One must view them all before they can
realize their inagnificence.
FIRES,
Are of so frequent occurance that
it would prove loss OF space to
record them. We turned out at 3 o'clock
to witness fire of such magnitude that
all the steam fire engines of the city
we've called upon TO subdue it, The fire
alarm system is perfect. a telegraphic
signal boy is affixed to post at various
corners of the streets. When fire
breaks out the box is opened and one
touch Of the button causes the alarmat
head quarters also ialicating the No. of
the box. A general alarm Is sounded
and in a few moments the engines are
on the spot and playing upon the flames.
SO prompt are they that an engine was
playing upon burning bed before the
inmates of the dwelling were aware
that an alarm was given.
SPRING FASHIONS.
Pleasant weather has given the mer-
chants and dealer. in millinery aud fancy
goods an opportunity for grand dis
play, and at many houses it is truly
magnificent. The richest robes-elegunt
toilets-and dear loves of little bounets
and hats with roses and lace-tOrm a
picture of wonderful beauty to the female
yaZe. There is not much novelty in
the new STYLES. Bunnets are increasing
in size. White chip is in vogue, and
flowers form larger part Of the TRIM
mings. There is Il rOnnd hat called the
brigand made of white CHIP very high
and pointed, trimmed with two shades
of green ritbun--with dropping black
feather in front fastened by peculiar
band. Bonnet of white chip with full
wreath ofviolets in front. Suits OF wash
material will be in style when proper
season arrives. Fans are shaped as pistols
and daggers-Visiting cards are rose
colored board, scented.
WAITING FOR A Hue BAND.
Through winters cold and storm of
snow and sleet-heneath the dlenching
rain and the scOrching sun, Il lady has
daily stood for three long years at the
corner of Longwortii and Plum streets,
scanning eagerly the faces of tire hsn-
dreds who hourly pass her by-looking
vainly for the return of II dearly beloved
husband who went out to defend his
country's cause, but from whom she
never heard again She feels that he is
still alive, and we infer that she believes
