COMPULSORY EDUCATION LAW.

The following is the compulsory Sec
ton OF the new school law recommended
by the State Superintendent OF Public
Instruction; and it was We presume,
adopted without material changes:
The Board of School Directors shall
require the attendance on the public
schools of their respective districts, of
all the scholastic population thereof, for
a term of at least four months Of each
and every year; and should any Of said
scholastic population neglect or refuse
to attend said schools, each and every
parent or guardian of such child or ward
neglecting or refusing to attend shall be
| deemed guilty of misdemeanor. and
upon trial and conviction thereof before
any Court OF competent jurisdiction.
shall be fined in sum not to exceed
twenty-five dollars for each and every
such offense and shall pay the costs OF
the prosecution; and all moneys collected
for fines, under the provisions Of this
section, shall be paid into and become
part OF the Public School Fund of the
district where the penalty was incurred:
provided, that when any child or ward of
scholastic age may be shown to have re-
ceiyed regular instruction from any pri-
vate teacher having a proper certificate of
competency, or when it may be shown
that said child or ward was prevented by
Ill health from attending school or that
there was no public school within three
miles of the residence of said child or
ward, or that said absence was caused by
reason of danger from hostile Indians
this shall exempt them from the opera
ton Of the penalty contemplated by this
section; and further provided, that moth
ing IN this Act shall be so construed as
to compel the attendance Of a child un-
der ten years of age on the public free
schools when there is no school estab-
hshed within one mile of the residence
Of said child or ward.
lntwo sentences Superintendent Fisher
advances an unanswerable argument in
favor Of the law: The right of the
child to be educated is superior to that
OF the parent TO perpetuate ignorance.
The right of til. State to prevent crime
is established by the argument which
proves it the duty of the State to punish
crime"

A Concert in India.

The Maharajah's concert was given in
a style of oriental magnificence at the
town hall, before an audience of twelve
hundred, all of whom the Prince had in
vited. An illuminated arch was raised
above the porch of the building, and
above it blazed the "Star of India"
with all the effect which gas jets and re-
Electors of FURNISHED silver could pro-
duce. The vaulted roof of the building
is supported by double rows of CORN
THAN columns with corresponding pilas-
ters. The ceiling and walls were
painted in delicate green; groups of
~rose-colored lamps were suspended be-
the AVE was lighted with transparencies
designed to illustrate the greatness and
glory of Britain. The splendid COM
bination of light and color brought out
in full relief the garlands and f~estoons
of flowers which burdened the air with
perfume. Sofas were arranged so as to
afford the guests full freedom of prone
made and conversation in the intervals of
the music. The Maharajah, with royal
munificence, brought the entire operate
troupe upon the stage, while indepen-
dent bands of music were stationed at
all the approaches of the edifce. The
turbaned and decorated prince appeared
in his own proper regalia of gold and
jewels, realizing the highest description
we have ever read of Eastern gorgeous
ness. He wore not only rings without
number on his fingers, a golden girdie
at his waist, necklaces of jewels, and
"ropes of pearls" on his breast, but
also a blue-and-gold satin robe, which
was broidered to the depth of six inches
with a solid mass of glittering precious
stones. 1t is needless to say that the
musical performance was very good, yet
it was the ostentatious display which at
tended it that was the wonder of Calcutta
that night. Scenarios Trauels around

Never Too Late to Mend.

When the stomach is in a state of chronic rebel
lion against every kind of food, and the attending
physician with solemn and portentous gravity
declares that such cases of confirmed dyspepsia
defy all remedies, do not put faith in his fpse DIRT.
Indigestion CT this obstinate character may be in
durable by his prescriptions, butt it is not therefore
an irremovable fixture in the system. The fact is
that the great VI vegetable invigorant and corr ective,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, is radically curing
cases of this seemingly desperate nature every
day. Indeed it is in those malignant phases of
dyspepsia which no ordinary medicine can control
that its remedial properties are most wonderfully
manifested. We say to the long-suffering martyr,
whose stomach is a source of perpetual torment to
him. that by the persistent and daily use Of this
glorious tonic, he can not only restore the digest
i've organs to their full vigor, but can keep them
in good working order through life. If there is
constipation, the gentle aperient operation OF the
Bitters will remove all distractions and keep the
bowels in a regular and healthy condition. The
grand Characteristic of this vitalizing and purify
ing vegetable preparation is that it acts bene-
fcially upon every organ, controlling the liver,
reinforcing the nerves, toning the coats of the
stomach, promoting a healthy habit of body, re-
heving the blood Of all impurities, clearing the
brain and reviving the spirits.
