SCHOOL BILLS.

The Senate bill to establish and maintain
a uniform system of public schools was
further considered. Amendments were Of
fered 10 the various sections, but were all in
their turn voted down.
Mr.. McCam2bell insisted on making the
salary of State Superintendent of Educa-
ton $1,000, instead of $1,000, as provided
in the bill. He knew 0eny very competent
men that would gladly serve for $1,000. If
there was so such money to be so freely
disposed of, let it be given to Henry coun-
ty. or any of the counties, and they would
apply it TO educating their children sure
enough. The Superintendent would never
visit any counties but those pierced by rail-
roads. ANYHOW. His amendment was lost.
The vote was finally taken, and the bill
passed its third and last reading, and only
awaits the Governors signature to become
q law.
The following is the detailed vote:

same idea Was advanced by Dr. T.. :. Carr.
and bis arguments, having been extensively
copied BY the press, have revived TIC Cd
discussion. DR.. Carr afiirms that every do

has cost from one 10 one and a half dollar.
Fifty thousand people. he esiimates, are cr-
gagged in mining in that State. The gold
product Of the state for 1879 was go. tsll.-

THE NIGHT OF AFFLICTIoN AND THE
MORNING OF nECoNERN.N

" THE NIGHT or AFFL1CTION AND THE
MORNING or RECOVERY
II seems to be the story Of his life, which
appears to have embraced many trials, trou-
bles, and fluctuations. Elder Magee states
that he was induced to write the work by the
fact that. among the 500, 900 colored Baptists
of this country, not single writer has yet
appeared. As he has been engaged upon it
for six years, it ought to be well written and
able. He has enjoyed unusual advantages
of travel and study-was a student in Spur
geon's College, and at one time took the prize
for Latin thesis. Having listened to him but
twice, hardly feel myself justified in form
ing an opinion of his ability, but i can bear
testimony to the excellence of his memorial
sermon upon Lincoln, delivered last April, nj
the request Of the Memorial Club"

The Law Of Courtship.

We clip from an old paper the following
account OF trial for breach of promise of
marriage, in which the judge laid down new
adopted:--''A case was recently tried in Rut-
land, Vermont, in which Miss Munson re-
covered 1925 dollars of Mr.. Hastings for a
breach of marriage contract. The curiosity
OF the thing is this: the Vermont Judge
charged the jury that no explicit promise was
necessary to bind the parties to marriage
contract, but that long continued attentions
or intimacy with female was as good evil
dence Of intended matrimony as special con-
{ act. The principle of the case undoubtedly
is, that ii Hastings did not promise, he ought
to have done so-the law holds him response
BILE for the non-performance of his duty. A
most excellent decision: a most righteous
judge, compared with whom Daniel would
appear but common squirrel We have no
idea of fellows dangling about after girls for a
year or two, and then going off, leaving their
sweethearts half courted; we hate this ever
lasting nbble and never a bite, this beating
the bush and never starting the game; it is
one of the crying sins of the age There Is
not one girl in twenty can tell whether she
Is courted or not. No wonder that when
Betty Shippers cousin asked # Billy Doubtful
courted her, she replied, Il don't know cx-
actly-he's sorter mtin' and not sorter
courtins We have no doubt that this Hast
ings is one of these 'sorter not courtin' fel-
lows, and most heartily do we rejoice that the
judge as brought him to book with 1925
dollars verdict The judge says that long
continued attentions or intimacy is just as
| good as regular promise. Now, we do not
know what would pass for intimacy according
| to the laws of Vermont, but supposing at
tentions to consist of visiting girl twice a
| week, and estimating the time wasted by
Miss Munson at each visit to be worth dol
lar, (which is too cheap Mr.. Hastings has
been making fool of himself IA years and
| some odd weeks. This decision makes a new
era in the law Of love, and we make no doubt,
| will tend to the promotion Of matrmony and
| morality.' eis .,sae ,tf rrnI q III %.

A FEELING TRIBUTE TO '.PuB. Docs."-
A Philadelphia editor thus relieves his mind
on subject familiar to all newspaper offices,
the inevitable Pub. Doc:
"We owe our thanks to Judge Kelley for
the latest Patent Office reports We already
have sixteen hundred of these interesting vol
umes in our little library, but they have been
read and re-read so many times that
know every page of them by heart. inls
new volume same opportunely and gratefully
OIL Christmas morning, and that night we
gathered our little family around the fire and
read it through to them The affecting tale
entitled Improvement in Monkey Wrenches'
seemed TO touch every heart, and when we
came to the climax of the little story about
Reversible Pieboards,' there was not dry
eye between the front door and the stable.
During the reading OF the piteous narrative
entitled Gum Washers for Carriage Axles,'
the whole family gave expression to bolster
Gus emotion, and the hired girl was so much
excited that che lost her prrseucc OF mind
and went around 10 her mothers inadver-
family with six pounds of sugar and butter
kettle full of flour, and came home at mid
night intoxicated. We can never sufficiently
thank Judge Kelley for the innocent enjoy
ment thus furnished us. The memory of
that happy evening will linger in our minds
very much longer than that hired girl ever
fingers when she lights on lot of substance
which she thinks will suit the constitution of
her aged parent"

A TEST OF THE EXTINCTION OF LIFE
In view Of the uncertainty regarding the final
extinction of life that occasionally arises, DR..
Magnus proposes the following test for the
decision of the matter. If limb of the body
"a finger is best for the purpose) be construct
ed by strong hgature quite tightly, there
will, if the subject is yet alive, be redden-
ing of the CONSTRUCTED member. First the
part in question becomes red, and then the
red color becomes darker and darker, and
deeper in hue, until it is finally converted in
to a bluish-red, the whole limb being from its
tip to the ligature which encircles it of a uni
form color, except that at the region immedi.
ately round the ligature itself there is to be
seen q narrow ring, which is not bluish-red,
but white. Though there may be slight dis
coloration after death, the doctor has satisfied
himself by experiment that this cannot be
confounded with the complete diseoloration
that attends the performance of the test on a
living limb.-Scribner's for February
