Things are changed nowadays. Not sol-
tary sovereign holds out his royal hand to help
any Of the claimants OF the Spanish throne, and
the most legitimate OF all the claimants Is an
object OF aversion, Instead OF sympathy, to every
one OF the reigning monsrchs. No pretender to
tho French throne, nor Chambord himself, could
get any royal help, even Of the moral sort, and.
In fact, the cause OF the legitimate Bourbon
Chambord, insteGd Of being supported by Euro
pean courts, is antagonized by the German, ltal-
Ian, Austrian aud British members. No king
defends the Pope against his enemies, though
In other times Q score OF them would have
rushed to his defense. No king helped or helps

How Briggs Baby Was Treated.

THOMAS BRIGGS, of Detroit, has boy
baby about ten months old, who is adj
mltted at the beginning of this article to
look just like his father, and to be the
smarlest boy-baby Of his age in Detroit
Yesterday morning the child was sitting on
the floor, playing with five or six big coat
buttons on string, and taking an occa-
sional nibble at an apple to bring out his
first crop of teeth. Mrs. Briggs and a
neighbor were talking away as only wo-
men can gossip, when the baby hid the
buttons under IA mat and started to finish
the apple. A bit of the skin got in his
throat, and he gave a cough and whoop
and paved the air and rolled over on his
head. "Oh, them buttons! he has swul-
lowed them buttons." cried the mother,
as she yanked him up and shook him.
Pound him on the back" yelled the
other Woman, trying to hold the baby's
legs still. Run for the neighborsi" cried
Mrs Briggs. con, he'll diei he'll diet"
screamed the other, as she ran out And
the neighbors came in and made him lay
on his stomach and cough, and then turn
ed him on his back and rubbed his stOm-
ach, and logged him about all sorts Of
ways until he got mad and he went 10
bowling. Then the boy ran for Briggs,
and Briggs ran for a doctor, and the doc
tor came and choked the baby, and order
ed sweet-oiI and a mustard plaster, and
told them TO hold him on his back Every
body knew that those six big buttons were
lodged in the baby's throat, because he
was red in the face, and because he stran-
gled as he howled and wept They pour
ed down sweet oil and put mustard across
him, and wept over him, and his mother
said she could never forgive herself Boys
drove by calling out: "Slab wood for
salei" and the scissor man went by shout
ing sharp sharpw but that distressed
crowd held the baby down and shed their
tears over his whole length. The doctor
was looking serious and Briggs was think
ing that he hadn't done anything 10 de-
serve such blow, when one Of the women
pushed the mat and discovered the but
tons. Then everybody laughed and dane
ed, and they kicked the sweet-oil bottle
under the bed, threw the mustard-plaster
at the doctor, and Mrs. Briggs hugged the
bowling angel to her bosom and called
him her ''wopsy topsy hopsy dropsy popsy
little CherIb "-Detr0it Free Press

Returning Home from the Country.

THE city people are going back home
this month. You can see them loading
up at the farm houses and making for the
cars The head Of the family wears
long, linen duster and tall, white hat
with broad black band about it, He is
mainly busy in thrustlng children in the
wagon, and running back to the house
after things his wife has forgotten. She,
poor woman, has taken a whole seat to
herself and between expectations Of the
coming season and dread of something
being spilled on her clothes, is in about
as an ecstatic state as can be imagined.
And the little olives are enjoying them
selves, too, rasping each others shins and
threatening to fall out and be crushed to
death. But they go off with he floating
of handkerchiefs and hearty good-byes Of
the farmers family, who Immediately re-
tire to the house to give thanks. And
when the farmers son returns from the
depot, he takes hold of the grindstone
and the conversation that ensues between
him and his sire while the various edged
implements are being put in shape, calls
for renewed efforts on the part of Home
Missions.-DdnJury Nesos

An Englishman, residing in one of the
South Sea Islands, possesses the faculty
of discerning the approach OF vessel a
day or two before it becomes visible, and
even of describing its shape, and whether
it is brig, a schooner or a bark. He
states that it is possible to discover ships
which, by reason of the shape of the
earth, are not perceptible by the direct
action of sight, By means of the vapors
which collect on the horizon at a certain
height above any solid object. The shape
of the little cloud thus formed enables
him to determine that of the vessel be
meath the horizon. He adds that such OBJ
servations can only be relied upon in
clear weather and when made from high
ground.

a Splendid Beginning.

We understand that over seventy pu-
pills answered roll-cslH at Martin Fe-
male College Tuesday morning, and
that the Principal had assurance that
there would be- over a hundred entered
next week. This is even better be-
ginning than its most sanguine friends
anticipated, and prognOsticates for she
Institution a most brilliant success; but
good a. it IS, it could have been better,
and orr people should allow nothing
that II is possible to be overcome to i'm
pede the progress of the school. We
have heard tlIas many parents are hold
ing back their children to see what the
school promises AMI whether it is 60 be
conducted 50 rs To deserve the support
that Is claimed and urged for it Its
brilliant commencement should dispel
all doubt, to say nothing of tlie wOrlI of
testimony that has been adduced in es-
tahlishing the capacity of its Principal
and teachers. We heard one OF our
oldest citizens, a member of the Board
of Trustees, say that this school gave
promise of being a better and much
larger school than we have ever before
had in Pulaski. This is certain, but to
make assurance douhly sure let us
strive to make it compare with and out
rival any in the State.

Died, on Sunday the 18th inst, of
typhO malarial fever, Miss ANN, eldest
daughter of Jas. F. and Martha Smith.
Born February 23d, 1851, she had just
reached that period of life when we are
SO commonly absorbed by the pleasures
of the present as to lose sight of the
more solid and lasting enjOyments of
that in.crminable future, to which we
are all rapidly tending. Not so with
our lovely young friend. In her thir-
teenth year she progressed religion ut
Mount NORTH and joined the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church, of which she
was ever Il consistent, faithful and
Jealous member, evincing in her last
moments talmneSS and confident reli
anee upon her Savior which is vOuch-
safed only to those who have Fought a
good fight"
In June, 1869, she graduated with dis
tinctIOn at Wards Seminary, in which
institution she had been an industrious
and exemplary pupil for three years.
Since then she has been employed with
occasional intervals of recreation) in
the home circle, assuming with cheer
fitness and alacrity the duties which
would have weighed heavily upon her
devoted mother. In sickness she was
an Invaluable assistant, watching with
unliring vigil through the weary hours
of night, quickly anticipating and
promptly meeting the wants of the
sufferer. The writer knew her well for
several years, saw her much of late,
and often under circumstances which
tested her patience and filiai affection
no less than her physical energies, and
he is pleased to say that in every in
stance she was equal to the demands
upon her, proving at all times and UNI
der all circumstances Il substantial supS
port and solid comfort to her oft atfiict-
ed parents.
To all those who admire gentleness,
truth, modeSty and charity in its high
est sense, her untimely death will prove
Il source of profound regret. Possessed
of these admirable traits of character i'm
an eminent degree, she was ever Il well
come viSitant in the homes of her
friends, vino truly sympathiZe with her
bereaVcd parents in the loss they have
mutually sustained,
There is a genuine consolation in the
thop CHIT that, though we may no more
behold her fair and lovely form, her
beautiful example will live OH as long
as memory GndUrcs and stimulate us to
acts of kindness and words of love,-the
common employments of her brief but
useful life.
That once loved form. now cold and dead,
Each moHruful thought employs;
We weep. our earthly comforts led
And withered all our Joys.
Hope looks beyond the bounds of time
When what we now impiOre,
Shall rise i'm full. immortal prime
And bloom to fade IIO more

Second Meeting of the School
Ehfunnfnusy


The Public School Directors met, ac-
cording 60 adjournment, in tile court
house at Pulaski. Mr.. Albert BuiOrd
was called to the Chair aud J. X. Z.
Blackburn was appointed Secretary.
The report OF the County Superinten-
dent was read, from which it appeared
that the scholastic population had been
returned from IA districts. The ID,
9TH, 10Th, 18th, 18th and 10th districts
having failed to report, the total pOpH-
lation could not be given. The report
further showed that 80 schools had
been organized in the county, at 4 cost
OF $2,3I4 per month. At this point adj
ditional reports were received, from
which it was found that A schools had
been organized in the county, employ
ing 81 teachers, and eXpending $2.649
per month--:tr average monthly salary
of SIGH to the teacher. The report
was received, and the County Superin-
tendent was requested to urge the re-
manning districts to send in their re-
ports, 50 that the scholastic population
of the county may be arrived at as soon
as possible.
Questions relative to the building and
repairing Of srheol houses, and the le-
gal effects of various forms of contracts
with teachers, were discussed by va
riOus directors. The following resOlu-
ton, offered by Capt. David Rhea, and
seconded by Mr.. VIM. Rivers, was first
rejected and subsequently recOnsidered
and adopted:
ResOlced, That it is the opinion of
this meeting that in cases where chill
dren of one district attend the school of
another district, and where no special
contract has been made between the di-
rectOrs thereof, the following general
rule should govern the case: The Di-
rectors OF the district in which the pu-
pill resides should pay TO the Directors
of the district in which the pupil at
tends school during any month the
county pro rata, obtained by dividing
the total county expenditures for tut
tion for said month by the total number
of pupils in the county Attending school
during tile said month, as ascertained
and reported by the County Superin-
tendent.
Teachers Registers, blank forms for
Treasurer's bonds and other blank
forms were distributed, and the meel-
ing adjourned to the last Saturday in
September (Sept 27th}.
