insisted that the Law extended thereto, and that
sto7e-pipes could not be permitted in this reck-
less manner. His noticeswere deied. He then had
one person arrested, and the Police Court, after
taking several dayB time to consider, has yielded
it's convictions to the opinion Of tho Corporation
Counsel, and fined the owner Of the stovc-pipe.
The case was promptly appealed by the indig-
nant counsel, and will probably be heard in h
year or two, or after the city has been burned
down again. This attempt to enforce q precau-
tion against fire has, Of course, produced great
excitenont in the districts outside Of tho fire
limits, and it will not be surprising if We have
mass meetings in favor Of free stove-pipes, md
in favor Of free fires, and it may be that indig~

cessions to the Council Chamber, there to com
pei the City Government to repeal any Ia" which

The German accounts concerning the enigra~
ton from Alsace and Lorraine, under the option
which, the Prussian Government offered the III
habitants of those provinces, differs very nate

that Mr. Edmund About's estimates were great
IL exaggerated. The Nula1taussen Gazette states
that out OF 459,779 inhabitants in Upper Alsace
92,662 options for emigration vera taken out, of
which only II, 200 persons actually avai1ed them
selves in Lower Alsace, q 394 options we're
taken in population of 6o9, ,295 people, of which
only 10000 we're effective; in Lorraine, 29,567
options we're taken, and 2o.750 people actually
eznigrated, out Of population Of 489 1886 peo-
pie. The average percentage Of emigration was
2h per cent Of the entire popula~
ton, It is now reported that many
Of the emigEanta are returning. The Courier o.

THE RIGHTS OF sTOVE-PIPES.

The absurdity Of our municipal law in the
matter of building regulations IVES illustrated
at the Police Courts, q few days ago. Wo have
established certain limits within which it is not
lawful to erect any wooden building, or any
other building, except in accordance with certain
preventive regulations. But outside these
limits, On the north, west, and south Of the city,
re have permitted the erection Of any kind of
building 10 matter how inhammable. To the
outside Of these limits We have also driven the
lumber-yards, md frame planning mills, and
all other collections Of fuel calcn-
lated to give good start to any fire that
may occur. The persons who have removed
to these localities, outside the fire limits, claim
that they have an unquestionab1e right to con-
struct their houses to suit themselves, and con-
sequent1y they have omitted chimneys as Alto
gether useless. The free architecture Of the
suburbs is to have stove. and the pipe thereof
pierced through the roof without any of the
precautions to prevent this pipe, when heated,
setting fire to the pine board through which it
Ia thrust. A fra wardan visiting this locality

Some da7s ago we received the text Of Presi-
dent Theirs speech at the opening of the new
session of the French Assembly, and the lugu~
brious tone which peryaded it is in striking con-
tsast with the confidence which the Emperor
William showed in his address at the opening Of
the Prussian Landtag, that has just come to
hand. His Majesty the Emperor and King"
as Minister Won Room put it, proceeded to con-
gratulate the people on the comfortable state Of
prosperity indicated By the budget for 1873,
which shows abundant means to provide for
every necessary State expenditure, for the pur-
pose of establishing provincial treasures, for
increased compensation to Government officials !,
and for q reduction in taxation by 3 now
classification Of tile income tax. The
Emperors Minister tn en- eoolly announced
the legislation which the Emperor desired the
Landtag to provide during the session, exhibit
ing the most perfect faith that it would be pro-
vided aB he Unlimited. The principal features
were the District Reform bill, which has alrendy
become law, and the bill regulating the rela-
tions OF the State to the religious societies, by
which the State ia to assume general control OF
these associations. While n. Thiers was defend
ing his Government before the Assembly at Yer
sailles by pleading the difficulties that had besot
it. the Prussien Emperor was sending his In
uerial commands through an Imperial Mini: ssr
to the Landtag in Berlin. twas just tho differ
ence between SUCCESS and failure.

It is twenty-one years since the present Con-
etitution Of Indiana was adopted, and many OF
its features are far behind the times. For in
siance, it forbids negroes or mu1attoes to enter
the State, and prescr1bes 8 punishment for any
ono rho employs such persons or gives them
any inducement to remain in the State. Its
terms prevent the passage Of any adequate
election or registration LAWS, and. under its
provisions, the Judges Of the Stats
are becoming the mere creatures Of
party. To remedy these evils, the Legislature,
now in session, is asked to call Constitutional
Convention.

This being the intent Of the proposed BILL would
it not be as well to say it plainly, in words
something like these: "Whenever any bonds
of the United States are sold by the Treasury
Department, not more than three months inter-

The monument to the memory Of Thaddeus
Stevens Was placed in position in the cemetery
at Lancaster, Pa, where his remains lie buried,
On the 5th inst. The style Of the monument Is
old Roman, with semi-circular ends On the
north and south sides are large panels OF Italian
marble, with drapery of blaek marble at the top
Of each panel, in imitation Of looped-up cur
taine. The structure is built Of granite, and ls
but eight feet in height, although 1t
is very massive. A1r. Stevens is buried
in lone, unpretendjng corner Of private ceza-

Dr. Fa1k is introducing some radical changes
into the Prussian system Of education. So far,
his work is confined mainly to the elementary
instruction; but it is reasonable to suppose that,
If his plans meet with SUCCESS here, they will be
extended to the higher academies, and, perhaps,
to the universities The most important irno-
vatiou that he has made ia in the disuse Of the
subdivisions as to the se1es. In place OF these,
he has divided the elementary schools Of the
Kingdom into three grades, with instruction
suited to the different ages or stages OF advance
ment, In smaller districts where it is not prac-
ticable to have mere than two teachers,
he has made two c1asses, an upper
and lower class, instead Of dividing
the school into boys and girls departments
He has reduced the religious instruction
on week days from six hours to four hours,
! which is 3 decided improvement. It will seem
strange to Americans that even Holong time aa
four hours should be devoted to religious in
struction in secular schools; but the elementary
! school system OF Prussia is closely connected
with the church for one thing. and, fer another,
there is no Institution corresponding to our Sum
! day Schools. The time which DR.. Felk saves
from religious exercises will henceforth bo de-
voted to the study of history and geography, to
! be taught more practically than heretofore. It
is probable that even the four hours Of religious
instruction will be somewhat curtailed hereafter,
as Dr. Falk has already prohibited the practice Of

Shortly after the Chicago fire, the Territoria
Legislature Of the District Of Columbia appro-
priated 800 900 for the relief Of the sufferers,
and provided that bonds ahould be Issued to
cover any deficiency caused by the Withdrawal
Of this sum from the Treasury. Mr. Merrick
Tas Chairman Of the Committee to whom the
money WAS to be paid but, as the payment Was
continually deferred by Governor Cooke, Mr-
Merrick made an investigation which resulted in
the discovery that, although the relief money
had never been applied, the bonds had been
issued and sold. The correspondent Of the
with Mr. Merrick on the subject.
During this interview, Mr. Merrick stated very
emphatically to the Worlds correspondent that
the Governor VAS bound by his promise to sell
the bonds and turn the proceeds over to the
Committee. The Governor, however, never in-
formed the Committee Of the sale, nor ever
turned over any Of the proceeds after the sale.
Mr. Merrick then produced the letters between
Nov. 20, 1g72 11r. Merrick expresses his surprise
that the proceeds Of the sale Of these bonds has
been diverted to some other purpose than that
for which they we're originally intended, and
that the Government was unable to ac-
count for the proceeds, and makes formal
request that the amount due the Committee
be turned over to it, To this Governor Cooke
replied, asking for Mr. Merrick's authority for
the statement that the sale Of the bonds had
been misapplied. and stating that the balance
due the Committee was subject to draft when-
ever the Committee needed it for the relief OF
Chicago,-a safe enough proposition, as it was
believed that Chicago vas not ID need Of relief.
On the 25th Of November Mr. Merrick replied,
definitely stating his authorities, and adding to
them several indirect sources Of information,
and hero the matter rests. The facts remain
that the proceeds we're not turned over to the
Committee in accordance with the obIgatlons
the Governor had assumed. Not being turned
over, it is difficult to come to any other conciu-
sion than that the proceeds wero diverted to
GONE other purpose.
