AN amendment to the school bill
now before the Ohio Senate, and
which will probably be adopted,
provides for only one local director
in each sub-district Of three; and
these constitute the township board.
BY the amendment each director
has only the power to nominate the
teacher in his sub-district. The in
tention of the law Is to put an end
to the controversies between town
ship boards and local directors.

Female smugglers.

But few, probably, who live at distance
from the Canadian boi ders, have any idea of
tue amnunt Of smuggling carried on. The
goods may be tea, coffee, socks, ribbons, or
something Of small value; but the intent to
smuggle is there, and The success in bringing
ever a small lot is nearly always an induce
meDt for the snuggler to try the game on a
larger scale. Wtile men mar and do smuggle
clothing now and then, the female sex are cred
tied with the bo rden Of guilt in this respect by
those best calculated to get at tie facts. 1t 10
estimated that at least every tenth woman who
crosses the Detroit River, carries smuggIsd
goods.
The Custom Houss officials Of Detroit are
sarely psrplexed in having to deal with this
class Of people. "The right of search" is nee
esssry to maintain the magisty Of the law, and
tue exercise of this right reveals some hidden
mysteries, as the following from a recent issue
of the Tribune will serve to illustrate:
"The net was drawn yesterday. The officers
commenced about two o'clock, walking fifteen
or twenty women up stairs into the custom
rooms, and handing them over 10 women to
be searched. Every boat load which landed,
for about three hours, was treated in the same
bhht LHe Iellhle pOTllOn. SOME
were indignant, and Appealed utheir husbands,
who vauly appealed 10 the custom offices.
Others wanted to faint away, bps, after looking
at the planks and the dust, concluded not Ia.
Others wept, laughed, rturned pale, but none
OF them were permitted To escape. During the
afternoon about one hundred aud fifty women
were confronted by Uncle Sam. and the old
man had good deal of fun and made some
wonderful discoveries.
For instance, modest little woman, who was
In hurry to GO home TO her sick child. pulled
ont few pins, and ten yards Of English flannel
fell to the floor. A tail women, with tears In
her eyes, who asserted That she would soOner
chop her head OF than tG think of smuggling,
uniastened ponnd Of tea from her skeleton,
aud asserted that il mast have been placed
there by s,'ine designing person. Another one
indignantly denied ''the right Of search, ;" but,
| after remaining prisoner an hour or two, told
the searcheF to ''tHke it and go to grass" throw
ing package of ribbons and acrs ON the floor.
A lot of calco was found on another. some ys'-
vet on another, and at least 10 per cent. of the
whole number were found tl be engaged iu
smuggling The Off ,ials were satisfied with
conliscating the goods, and il is said that wo
men who land from Uanada during The day will
be marched up stairs aud turned over 10 the
care Of the grim female, who heeds no threats
and melts al no sighs. o1if Te gv

The present outlook indicates that period Of

Blads represents our views OF the question in
the following:

upon prineiple-upon preference Tor free gov

thoroughly Yanksyzed. We donI want Nhr
country to TALL into the hands of those who
would seek to make it either Irish. German, or
French by the adoption Of the peculiar notions
Of either of those classes Of people. We don't
want the habits or the principles Of foreign
powers TO. gain supremacy here. On the con-
irary, we believe n to be the duty Of every i'm
migrant, befors planting his feet upon our
shores, to shake the dust Of the Old World from
his garments. He should be prepared to merge
into and become part Of this great Yankee
