1t seems that New Hampshire is not, as has
been currently stated, the first or only State in
which laws providing for compulsory education
have been passed Next month, September, an
act u that effect passed at the last session of the
Legislature goes into effect in Michigan. In
Texas similar legislation is soon to be put in
force In California the republican party is
pledged to the same course in case of success at
the election on the 9Th Of September next The
great objection - the law in Texas is that manv
OF the ladies In that State marry young, and as
the act compels all between the ages OF six and
eighteen to attend school a large number OF
youthful married women are anxiously inauir.
ing what is 70 become D. the babies while the
mothers are being educated. An exception
clause for their benefit is urgently demanded:
but as the law goes into effect before the Legi,-
lature meets again the situation is an embarrass
ing one for wives, husbands and babies.

ADOPTED eulOgiZing the administration of Gen
Grant; favoring a steady and gradual reduction
Of the public debt; declaring the tariff neces-
sary, and urging new safeguards for the purity
OF electors, and thorough reform in the civil
service. The Mississippi republican conyen-
uCn met at jackson yesterday, and organized
with Dr. Dowd as president. The day was
spent in spcech-making. The Virginia demo-
Cratlc convention organized in Richmond with
Hon. Thomas 5. BOeoek as president, who made
speech eOunseling unity OF action and the
burial Of dead issues. A resolution invitin,
Governor Walker TO a priv ilcged seat WAS on
posed ON The ground that it was designed TO give
the appearance of Off ial influence to the de-

The Prairie City Inder says:

That old jack-aes, Scion Robinson,
who has for long time figured in
the agricultural department of the
New York Tribune and has brought
out every vagary which no one else
was fool enough to father, has in the
seventy-fifth year of his age and of
his married life about the fiftieth,
brought suit against his wife who
is seventy-two to procure divorce.
Three generations are dragged into
court and disgraoed. Anybody
knows that they could worry thro'
the few remaining years after living
30 long together. We presume he
must desire to try Kings David's last
resort to infuse life into carcass for
which the worms are starving even
now. There is no telling where q
man will land who drifts away from
the old landmarks. God save us
from a philosophy which produces
such now theories as his and bear
such fruits in the end
