LOOSE RlNMEs.--An individual in
this city writes to us rs follows: "Will
you please tell me il there is any word
which rhymes with looscd p | am very
anxious to know, and cannot think OF
any myself" We are somewhat indis-
posed to help this miserable being, be-
cause we are morally certain that he is
Matching out some kind Of II terrific poem
with which he intends to torment news
paper editors who never did him any
harm. We will give him what assist
ancc we can, however, with the express
understanding that he is to commit sui
eide rs soon as he gets it. There are
only few words which rhyme with
looscd." One Of these is " boost" But
that word should be used carefully. 1t
would not appear to advantage in II ten
der love poem, or in lines upon the death
of n very dear friend. 1t is in some sense
humorous word, and it would Of course
be very appropriate in comic poem. II
our young friend contempIates writing u
comic poem, we should like to have early
information Of the fact, 50 that he can be
dispatched at once, before he perpetratos
the outrage. We will brain him our
selves with an AK, in order to save the
human race from such misery. The
word "roost" rhymes pretty well with
" loosed," but it, too, requires careful
manipulation. Suppose, now, you were
writing hymn, and you jammcd in the
word "roost because you were crazy to
find a rhyme for " "loosed," and that
hymn should be placed in a church col
lection, it would cause disgraceful merri-
ment in the sanctuary, and the Sunday
school boys would laugh and have fights
with the sexton when he tried to put
them out. Therefore we recommend the
word suiced," which would workv cry
well in a sentimental poem; or "re-
duccd," which would suit IA labor poem
on the eight hour system or "noosed, ="
which might answer for poetic descrip-
ton Of IN execution; or refused :"
which, although rather rickcty as n
rhyme, would exactly describe the con-
dition Of the completed poem the very
minute it got into an EDITORS hands,

TIE Postmaster General has reversed
his former decision rs to the class Of post
al matter in which cngravings, chromos,
ETC., should be properly placed. Here
after all such matter may bo sent by mail
at tho rate Of one cent for each two ounces
and in packages weighing less than four
pounds. 1t will bo remembered that tho
former decision was TO the effect that art
publications were not "prnted matter"
within the meaning Of tho statute. Tho
reversal Of the former opinion was pro-
duced by the joint efforts of the art deal
ers Of Boston, New York and Philadol-
phia, but the largest share Of the benefit
will be reapcd by the small dealers who
order by mail, and the thousands of corn-
try purchasers who receive art publica-

INTERESTING TO School SUPERIN-
TENpENTs.- In the new Code, which
took effect on the first of this month,
there is an amendment to the School
Laws which provides that no persons,
except professional teachers, holders OF
Educational Diplomas, shall be eligible
to the Office Of School Superintendent.
This provision would disqualty half the
County Supcrintcndcnts of the State,
But in tinkcring the School Law tho
Code Commissioners attempted TO over
ride the Constitution Of the State. Any
qualified voter is eligible to any elective
office, unless there are constitutional pro-
visions to the contrary, and School Su
perintendcnts, except tho State Superin-
tendent, are not constitutional officers.
The law is not worth the paper it is
printed on.--iS. y, BUiietin.

IT Is customary to laugh at the hu-
man propensity to take the weather
as perpetual source Of remark.
That this may be ridiculous some
tinFes, or may not always be interest
ing, is undeniable. Probably it arises
generally from the desire to choose a
topic within the comprehension of all.
Within the observation, but beyond
the comprehension Of every one,
would be more correct.
But at the present time there can
hardly be q more abstruse subject.
1t is variable. it is severe, it is per-
sistent and and intense, yet we are
continually watching for change that
any hour may bring, to the subver-
sion of the winters character.
Would that the chemists might
get bold of it and analyze it. Find
It's base, its salts, its oxides, It's gray
ity and atfnities. There does not
seem to he anything they cannot de-
compose aud reconpose. Let us have
not only observations and "PIobabil-
tiles, but analysis Of the weather.
The Medical Union, paper re-
Gently commenccd-one number only
has appeared-gives currency to a
theory that the unhealthy periods.
called pestilential eras, are caused by
disturbances in the gravity Of matter
and in the atmosphere, by the con-
joined attraction Of one or both of
the great planets, Jupiter or Saturn,
with the sun. That, as the time re-
quired for the perihelian passage of
either Of these is several ofour years,
the baneful influence on animal and
vegetable life is thus extended.
This may be philosophical, and
several instances are adduced to sup
port it; but if it he so would it not
affect all parts Of the world, or if not
are there means that can be applied
to mitigate the effects Of these dis
turbances.
We had thought that the epidem-
ics with which the land is afflicted
were generally rather partial in their
ravages, that while some parts of the
world suffered most, other ceun-
tries and latitudcs were unusually
free from them. But perhaps this
has been an entire mistake.
This seems however to be well es-
tabllshed with regard to the weather
that a very cold, warm, wet or dry
season in one hemisphere is balanced
by one just the reverse in another.
Perhaps our scientific observers
may be able to ascertain whether this
idea be anything more than flight
of fancy, and if it became established
as facts, may find means of prepar-
ing mankind for the disastrous peri
DDS, and perhaps even for lessening
their effect upon the products OF the
earth.
