A singular law case has occurred in Cincinnati
David G. Miner an infant in law, has brought an
action against his own father and mother-through
his next friend we suppose His petition sets forth
that the authors of his existence have made that exist
encc ntolerabe since 1853. He has been logged with
ramrods and with iron whips. He has been dragged
down stairs by his hair He has been put into q
closet under tank Of hot water, and shut uD there
for ten hours His body is covered with scars. His
health Is ruined. The parties charged with these
crimes are rich and what is usually called highly
respectable. Parental cruelty is not very common.

The Irish and Scotch present many
striking contrasts, but in nothing do they
differ 20 much as in their laws relating
to marriage. The difference may be
concisely expressed By saying that the
lrishman's difficulty is to know how to
get married, and The Scots to know
whether he is married or not. In Scot
land marriages may truly be said to be
made in heaven," seeing that they are
contracted with the least possible inter-
vention Of human agency. They are

NONE SO BLIND AS THOSE WHO WoN'T
SEE.-A stock argument against the re-
cognition Of woman's influence in politics
and public life, is that the one sex will
be demsral;zed while the other will not
be elevated. 1t is certainly poser to
discover how politicians may become
worse. Of the chances Of their being
made better, the experience Of President
Fairchild. Of Oberlin College tells some
thing. He may indeed be biased, but at.
least he speaks as one who knows, and
not as thcorist who digs for facts to
boost up pet prejudices. He says:
"The ease with which the discipline
Of so large a school is conducted, has
not ceased to be q matter of wonder to
ourselves. One thousand students are
gathered from every State in the Union,
from every class in society. Of every
grade of culture; the great mass Of them,
indeed, bent on improvement, but num-
bers sent by anxious friends that they
may be saved or recovered from way
ward tendencies. Yet the disorders in
cident to such gatherings are essentially
unknown among US. Our streets are as
quiet by day and by night IS in any other
country town. There are individual
cases of misdemeanor, especially among
new corners, and now and then one is in
formed that his probation has been un-
satisfactory, but in the regularly oreani
zed classes of college and ladies' depart
ment, numbering from zoe to 400 in
constant attendance, the exclusions have
not, on the average, exceeded one in five
years, and in one instance period o
more than ten years elapsed without a
single exclusion from these classes This
result we attribute,greatly to the whole
some influence of the system Of joint
education. Offenses against propriety.
that in body Of young men forming a
separate community would seem to be
trivial, change their aspect when the fe-
male element is added to the communi
~. From The beginning the use of to.
bacco has been prohibited to our stu
dents. In the presence Of ladies the reg.
ula;icn has force and significance that
could not otherwise be secured, and has
been maintained with good degree oil
success. College tricks lose their wit
and attractiveness in . community thus
constituted. They arc essentially un-
known to US: The relations Of the
classes to each other are comfortable ant
desirable. II may be q mistake to at
tribute this fact to the social constitu
ton of the school, but it seems to be
natural result. The general force of g,
ciety controls and limits the claLnisl
tendency"
