THE HER AID.
superintendent Of Public In.
snrnRffnuS

The Legislature has at last adopted
common school system, the principal
provisions Of which we have heretofore
published. The law provides that the
County Courts shall elect a County Su-
perintenent at its April or July term.
We suppose that the only reason it was
left optionary with the Courts, as to
which term the would elect, was because
in SEINE of the counties it would be Inn
possible-on account of their remote
ness from the Capital, and bad travel
ing faeilities-ior the Courts to get cop
les Of the law for their guidance, the act
having so recnetly become law. But
in counties where they can get copies OF
the law, we do not see why the election
should not occur Monday. We believe
in elaboration, but not in delay; and
hence hope the Court will proceed to
elect a Superintendent on Monday.
We do not see what advantage can be
gained by Iostponing matters until July.
The act requires the superintendent
shall be a man of scientific and literary
attachments, and when practicable, OF
skill in the art of teaching; that he shall
hold his office two years, and shall re-
ceive such compensation for his services
as may be determined upon by the
Courts. He can be removed from office
for misbehaviOr, or inefficiency, at any
time, by the same power that elects him.
Whether TIE Court elect him in April or
July, they cannot be too careful in the
matter. Let them not only comply with
acquisitions ofths law as to intellectual
sttainments, but go further, and see
that he is a man OF energy and business
tact, of sterling character and moral rec
titude, end christian virtues. The impor'
esnce of electing the right sort of a mar
vii. become evident when we remember
that the success of the system depends
IL rgely upon the conduct of the County
SIperintendents. In addition to having
lac right class of Superintendents, Il
make the system permanent success
there must be a hearty cooperation
on the part OF the people. Messrs. ID
T. Cord IN and c. s. Hill, are candidate
for county Superintendent.

youth. Thin-hair is thickened, fall
ing hair checked, and badness often,
though not always, cured by its
use. Nothing can restore the hair
where the follicles are destroyed, or
the glands atrophied and decayed;
but such as remain can be saved by
this application, and stimulated into
activity, 20 that a new growth Of
hair is produced. Instead Of fouling

ines, while the glories of large type an doub-
le-leaded columns struck despair to the souls
OF the Journalists at the office of the Deuasta-
tor. They were conquered at every point.
The editor of the Intin,idator was jubant.
One thing only disturbed him olcitude for
the reporter who had encountered so many
dangers. The editor ordered carriage and
took Mr.. Reed home to his lodgings. The
gray dawn of spring morning was jus. break
ing, as they drove past the police station.
The door opened and the sandy-haired report
er of the DeudstGtor emerged, with an air of
utter depression. Already maddened by the
shouts Of the newsboys, it needed only this
sight of Mr.. Reed to arouse him 20 feeble fury.
He drew pistol and fired-the ball pass
ing through the window of the carriage, not
at all mountaineering the two journalists
within it,
'That's good" said Mr.. Reed, 'now I
need not apologize for knocking him downr'
The day after this night of strange adven-
lures, anyone who had gone into the Office of
the Daily Intimidator would have seen a
somewhat curious sight. Mr.. Reed, eated,
jubilant. sparkling with life and brightness
his left ann in Sing; bandage around his
forehead; replying with as much grace as
the stiffness of his entire muscular system
would permit, to the compliments and felic-
tatlons of the journalists who were assem-
bled in the office. The directors of the X
bank had in grateful recognition of his val
liable services, presented him $5,0O0-some of
the identical bonds which he had assisted in
stealing, The propretors of the Daily In
timidator had raised him to the responsible
and honorable position Of general news ed
tor, with corresponding salary. 10 this
post Mr.. Reed had aspired as one builds a
castle in Spain, without hope of ever occupy
ing it.
The chief editor puts his hand gently on
the reporters shoulder, and says:
'There never was anything like it before in
the history of journalism. My boy, you'll be
tradition, prototype!"
Cpd rather be an editor" replies Mr..
Reed with his usual tranquil smile, ''but il
seems to me that there is still a little romance
left in journalism, even in these prosaic lat
ter days"
SIT is true. In the journalism of the pres
ent time, there is room for everything bril-
liant, courageous, genuine. The power of
the independent press solves problems that
the forces of an army could not effect. The
