tracts aud s%tipulations binding only
on the tax payers. The Inhabitants
are called upon for immediate pay

endcavoring to mature acts that will
cover all the mplliform cases. The
difficulty is to frame a statute broad
enough in IT'S provisions to shield
every community in the unfortunate
straits, and at the same time to be
within the constitutional limits. The
railroad companies, Shylock- like, de-
mand their money, as 1t is "in the

Of payment aud threaten to SO to
the Courts to nuliify any act which
shall cause delay. To avoid the horns
Of this dilemma, the Senate occupied
all Monday, in the consideration Of 2

become delinquent, no penalty at.
tach, no interest accrue, nor shall any
land be sold until the railroad com
pany, tor whose benefit the tax may
have been voted, shall fully comply
with all the provisions Of the law.

School Teaching in California.

A pedagoguc in Indiana, who was chad
up for numerically welting the back of
a little girl, justified his action by explain
ing that ''she persisted in tiinging paper
pellets at him when his back was turned. $"
That is no excuse The Town Crier once
taught school up in the mountains, and
about every half hour had to remove his
coat and scrape Off the dried paper wads
adhering to the nap. He never permitted
a trlf1e like this to unsettIe his patience;
he just kept on wearing that gaberdine
until it had no nap, and the wads wouldn't
stick. But when they took to dipping
them in mucilage he made a complaint to
the Board of Directors. Young man"
said the Chairman, ''ef you don't like our
ways, you had better sling your blankets
and git. Prentice milford tort skule yer
for more'n six months, and he never said
u word agin the wads. The T. c. briefly
explained that Mr.. milford might have
been brought upto paper wads, and didn't
mind them. at amt no use, said another
Director, ''the children hev got to be
amused" The T. G. protested that there
were other amusements quite as divert
ing; but the third Director here rose, and
remarked, 81 perfekly agree with the
