DoS'r- Box CnrLpRrx's EaRs.-Some
Of our scientific men are apply ing science
to the protection Of children against in
considcrate punishments. They unqual-
iied!y condemn the boxing Of children's
ears. The passage Of the ear is closed on
its inner side by thin membrane. espe.
cialy ada Ned to be Influenced By every
impuse of the air. and with nothing bat
the air to support il internally. Any sud-
den or forcib!c compression Of the air in
front # this membrane is likely to injure
il. Such shock is almost sure 10 dis
tend the membrane annaiurally. and
sometimes it breaks it. especially when
from previous disease the membrane has
been weakened Besides. such a shock

on the doctor On his arrival. he vented
all his rage on the latter. and abused him
for sending him \ Journey Of 81 many

PRESERVING CELERY.-IIow TO keep eel
cry over winter is question tina. perpiex-
es nearly every one who cultivates that
palatable plant. Many methods are prae-
tiscd some or which are suited 10 milder
climates. but will not answer here. We
have kept celery very successfully for one
or two winters past BY packing !, in an
upright position in large boxes. half buried
in the ground. and covered tightly with
boards Over the covered boxes earth is
heaped sufficiently high tokecp out the
frost The boxes are spcued when neces-
ssry. and quantity sufficient for a week
or two taken cut at once. We believe
that the idea was obtained from the Ges-
manto,cn Telegraph. That paper now
suggests another plan. which is probably
just as good. and may be more easily fol-
lowed in some csses. tits this: A trench
Is dug from twelve to fifteen inches IN
depth. aud rs long as may be suitable
the roots are placed IN this singly side By
side. nj m angle. that is leaning some.
What; three inches of soil are packed
against them; then another line Of stalks,
until the bed is as large as may be COVE.
I'nient for covering. and another ifrcquired
can be made S.sil should then be added
until Within SIX inche, Of the top OF the
stalks: then layer Of straw. then lay-'
of dry leaves; the whole 10 have a good
board eorerisg TO kcep ont the water. y
course rather high ground for the bed o'
beds should be selected. aud n trench b
dug around the bed deeper than the boavu
efsLe celery trenches. 50 made ss't" be sur,

only be one Of justice to those who werc

II il gere not returned no injustice would
be done. for those who would retain it
were justly entitled to it, Nor could it
be well opposed on constitutional grounds
The original spoliation without c"mpensa-
tion was unjus. and unconstitutional: this
use Of the national revenue would serve tn
remedy and rndc that original wrong. so
far rs justice is concerned The whole
action Of the general government in re-
gard to slavery was extra constitutional,
and whsse something extra constitutional
is necessary TO be done to remedy any in
justice in that action. il will not do to
plead the constitution bar of thai reme-
dy. il it has been no obstacle to the origi-
nal wrong. Upon the valuation Of S4O0.-
0Ge 900 for the entire slave property Of
the country. the share Of Virginia would
be between forty and fifiy millions. What
u relief this would be to the desroied
shareholders; how much would it Increase
the tax paying resources OF the South and
the trade Of the whole country! If the re-
vival Of the South. the increase OF It's tax
paying resources. and of the general pros
perity. be an object of interest to the Un-
ion. here is a mode by which the Federal
Government may do much to accomplish
these ends Let the general government

cipated .withip their borders, end let the

There is also an upfounded bal
ancc of $l16, 6,75l,63, fuidable under
the acts o. September and December,
1866, which may properly be inclu-
ded in the floating debt Of the State.
The special committee, appointed by
the Legislature, session Of 1878,
to investigate the amount Of out
standing pay certificates and bills
payable, reported that they had ex-
amined outstanding pay certificates
and bills payable to the amount OF
S4O1, 1863 SO. The committee asked
for further time to. continue their ex-
animation, which was granted. ltsls
assumed that>there is an additional
amount outstanding, which the COM
mittee will probably examine and re-
port upon at your present session.
The total amount outstanding may
be safely estimated at $500,000: 1t
is also estimated that there is an un-
paid balance of pay certificates of
the session of 1928. amounting'to
about 100000. It appears by the
treasurer's books that the State is
charged with the sum of 81, ,797,352
81, on account of $3,395,000 Of bonds
by the Blue Ridge Rail
road in accordance with the pIoyi-
sions of an act of the Legislature,
March 2, 1872. There is
also upon the treasurer's book large
floating debt, includ-
ing the unpaid free school fund, and
all unpaid appropriations, not paya-
BILE as deficiencies after October 81,
