SCHOOL LIFE.
Disastrous Effect upon the Health of
GirlS-E0rneSt Protest from the Mas.
snchusetts superintendent. +

snchuycttS superintendent. y .
The following is from the report of the
Superintendent of Education in Massachu-
sets 1.-The vigorous and effective system of
military drill provided for all the boys in our
high schools has, in my judgment, been of
incalculable advantage; and its moral results
have been no less valuable than its physical
effect. 1t is good both for those who COM
mand and those who obey. Still ! feel bound
to say, and TO say with emphasis, that there
is still great room for improvement in phys-
cal culture. We ought to aim, not merely to
avoid in juring the health of pupils while car
rying on their instruction in our schools, but
to increase their physical health, strength
and beauty. | dare call that system OF edu-
cation a failure, which sends out into the
world, to fight the battles of life, its finished
graduates with narrow shoulders, flat chests,
crooked spincs, pale faces, weak muscles and
low vital energy. Our boys receive less
physical injury from their schooling than our
girls Nature helps the boys more. The
boys manage to get some wholesome play.
But the poor girl is easily crushed under the
terrible weight of school lessons. Her strong
love of appreciation, given to her for wise
purpose, is easily made to work her physical
ruin by the machinery of examination. l do
not hesitate to- tell any mother in Boston
that in the present state of things the head of
q class in school is not very safe or desira-
BILE place for girl to occupy. In conclusion
Iurge two items of immediate reform in this
matter. First, that the rules in regard to the
home lessons be rightly enforced; and Sec
ond, that our high school girls shall no longer
be seen carrying home daily, for study, large
bundles of class books.

NoTIIlNG is more common than a custom
of many persons to have cold bath imme-
diately on leaving their beds, as a daily habit
Delicately organized ladies not infrequently
have established the same course, considering
it conducive to health. There is an impress
sion that it invigorates the individual, hard
ems the muscles, and strengthens the con-
stitution. The sudden abstraction of caloric,
or vital warmth. in this way, has not only in
Jured but destroyed more than were ever ben
ettted thereby. A reaction, as it is called a
a direct draft upon the system TO meet sud
den loss of vitality, and is by no means so
beneficial as theoretically imagined. A tepid
bath makes no such injurious demands, and,
therefore, is not injurious or perilous for
those of frail structure S'I,' ~ ,,'o'li

A YOUNG man in Minnesota has met with
the following mishap: He stepped on board
a train which, he had every reasonto believe,
would take him, to JonesYille swiftly enough
to enable him to keep an engagement he had
made to marry young woman. The train
was delayed, the lady got huffy, and since
the bridegroom did not appear, instantly
married another man, who suddenly remem- rm
bered that he had loved her fondly. The q! ar
dent lover was SO anxious to reach Joncsrifle
that he acted nervonsly, was taken in charge
by detectives as one implicated in great
robbery which had just been committed mln sin
Chicago, and was liberated at last only TO
And that blight ana mildew had gathered over
his ;h0liest affections, and that the'world was
indeed cold and desolate and unsympathetic.

There are many speculations about this
case. Some think that there was no murder,
that the old lady died from natural causes,
and that the money was stolen by some one.
Others think that she had got out the cake
and apples to send to some one, and the wine
10 treat some visitor, and that she then got
Il blow on the jaw. Some think that in fall
in. she bruised the jaw, and that possibly
she pushed up the carpet that was found IN
Il lump beside her. Others think that the
carpet was used to smother her.
The son says he left his mother after .

were no cakes, apples, or wine then on the

A RurFIAS's TERRIBLE FATE.--A dreadful
instance of summary justice occurred nj
Visaia, CAL, 5t rhrlstmas-eve. a noted
rut1ian named james McCr0rl, Who had
already killed some four or five persons in
that vicinity, shot an intimate friend named
Charles Allen in cold blood, and without
the slightest provocation, firing deliberately
five times, till he killed him. After despe-
rate fight with the police McCrory was seized
and conveyed to Jail, but the citizens were
so incensed that they determined to lynch
him. The Jail was successfully broken into
after two or three futile attempts, the sheriff
and bis deputies overpowered in spite of all
their efforts to maintain the law, and the
prisoner dragged out Of the prison by al in
furiated crowd. They threw rope around
the Villains neck, pulled him along to the
Court-Street bridge, and after firmly Sc
curing the rope flung him over the railing of
the bridge. He fell distance of some five
feet, and after waiting to see that life was
totally extinct the crowd dispersed, leaving
the corpse in its semi-nude state with the
rain pouring upon it in torrents.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Washington Republicans lay the
blame of the Indian troubles upon Con-
gress, and thinks it should "pay more
heed to the Indian question
A contemporary thinks that the fall
election, in Massachusetts,, will be set
tied on the temperance question. and
that nearly every other issue will be lost
sight of in the contest.
The Tribune relates that vender in
oil paintings at Washington sold one to
Senator for 5000, taking in exchange
such public documents as were then due
the Senator. These books were sold to
a secondhand dealer.
According to the New York Express,
there are symptoms Of new American
party to be formed in that city. 1t also
points to the fact that so many adopted
citizens have lately been excluded from
office.
Speaking of the probable Democratic
candidate for governor of Ohio, local
paper says: "For awhile all eyes Gen.
tired upon Gen. Tom Ewing, Even now
his chances for the nomination are above
par, though there is no good reason to
believe that Mr.. E. is anxious to enter
the race"
The farmers are getting on their high
heeled shoes, says the Boston Transcript
At meeting in Shelbyville, Ind, they
condemned the salary grab, railroad mo-
nopolies and moneyed aristocracy.-
The Western tillers of the soil should &C
one step further, and resolve against the
cholera, whooping cough and measles.
The trial of ex-senator Pomeroy, fol-
bribery of Senator York, on motion Of
Pomeroy's counsel, has been postponed
until the December term of the Distric
Court. Mr. Pomeroy claimed to be ready
for trial, but his counsel had not time
for preparation. Thirty-fve witnesse
were present for the State. and none fo
Pomeroy. The prosecuting attorne.
urged that the application for a contin
uance be denied.
The Boston Journal. by an .editoria
article, shows very decidedly that it doe
not sympathize with Mr.. Buffers aspi
rations, and says: .'There is nothin,
new in the announcement that Gen. But
Ter is ''squarely'' on the track as can
didate for Governor of this Common
wealth, so there is nothing very formid
able in the list of gentlemen who ar
said, we presume upon correct informa
ton, to have pledged him their supper
at the Revere House dinner. We shal
not disparage the abilities or the Unfit
ence of. these gentlemen, but, general
speaking, they are not new converts t
the Butler interest, nor is there any res
son to suppose that they bring any grea
) number of new recruits to the banner {
their chief.

SAD DROWNING ACCIDENT.

On Sunday, the 10Th inst, quite
large party of relatives and neighbors
went out on Wheelock pond in Calais,
for the purpose of having a boat ride
and picnic. They had no trouble in
crossing the pond in going out, but upon
their return the boat sprung leak and
five persons were drowned. Two small
boats had been fastened together and
over these, boards were laid, both to
confne the two boats and give sitting
room. The owner of the boat did not
consider it safe for more than ten per-
sons, but eighteen-two men who were
to row, and sixteen women and children,
undertook to Cross over in the weak and
frail boats. Soon after starting, the
water began to come up through the bot
tom of one of the boats, and the women
begged of the men who were rowing, to
return to the shore. They were told
that there was no danger and the boat,
kept on. Soon the water nearly filled
one of the small boats, and before the
ol-hardy oarsmen made an effort to
turn for the shore, the water came over
the side of the boat. In the commotion
that ensued the boats were tipped over
and all went into the water except three
women, who chung to the boats and boards
and were able to save three of the drown
ing ones by selling them and helping
them into the boats, which had now be.
come lighter and foated. The man who
was SO earnest in proceeding against the
entreaties of the women, was good
swimmer, but went down when the boat
tipped over, and for some unaccountablt
reason did not come to the surface again
The other man helped his own son anG
one young lady into the boat but be-
came so exhausted that he was sinking
for the last time when he was saved BY
help that came from the shore. On,
small boat with two men went to tn,
rescue and succeeded in saving will
those already within and about the boats
all except five of the eighteen Man,
of these were unconscious when taken t.
the shore. The names Of the browne,
were Fayette Tichout, his wife an,
daughter, Mrs. Recta Mcknight an,
Miss Anna Toby. Four of the decease,
were buried in one grave.
