Current Notes.

@ The working classes of the United States
have their trials; but let them take our word
for it that any leaders who would push them
on to the commission Of illegal or unconstitu-
tional acts, instead of freeing them from the
evils they now lie under, would only involve
them in greater evils.-Irish World.
The Christian Union, speaking for Mr..
Beecher, has these remarks upon the case of
the Sisters Smith of Glastonbury and their
cows: The blame rests not especially upon
them (the Glastonbury authorities }, but upon
the vast majority of the American people,
who have made the law and who still sanction
it. The idea should be insisted upon, for it
is the true one, that these sisters as really
stand for the American principle of no taxa

zens who ripped open the tea-chests in Bos-
ton Harbor, or the farmers who levelled their

severe upon what he styles the assumption of

fruitIess, perseverance Of our elderly contem-
porary to prolong the appearance of youth by
calling to his aid those peculiar arts of the

like those whom the gods love, he meant to
die young, if it could be done by frequent

THE Legislature has very properly taken
steps to investigate the rumors rather than
charges against the management of the State
Prison. This is step in the right direction.
A rigid Investigation and entire exoneration
is due Warden Rice if the charges are found
false, and II Is equally due the honor of the
State that no irregular practices shall be al
lowed to continue if they exist. The investi-
cation should be impartial, full and searching.

THE HOUSE OF INDUSTRY WHIPPING CASE.

The Testimony Taken by the Coroner
Sent to the Grand Jury-Dismissal Of
Charles Barnard.
1t will be remembered by the readers OF tho
HERALD that attention was called o short time
in its columns to the death of little Italian
boy named Joseph Vandeuser, who was an inmate
OF the Five Points House OF Industry. At the In
vestigation instituted by Coroner Croker, to learn
how the boy came to his death, testimony was
elected from credible witnesses tending to show
that the youthful Italian was cruelty whipped
by Charles Barnard. an oncer connected with
the House of Industry. He was subsequently
removed to the residence OF his parents, where he
died.
The verdict OF the Coroner's jury was that the
boy came to his death by diarrhGa, aggravated by
want OF proper care in the early stages Of tho
disease, and mis- subsequent improper removal
from the hospital.
Coroner Croker. however, felt 1t TO be his duty
to hold Mr.. Barnard to await the action OF the
WI w SS5htnt with rendering the above verdict,
the Coroner's jury Immediately indicted the sub

The testimony taken before the Coroner was
submitted by the District Attorney TO the Grand
Jury, now serving IN the General Sessions and
yesterday tnat body came into court with the
DaperS, diSmSSng the complaint against Mr.. Bar
nard. 1t Is said that this verdict was unanimous;
but as the proceedings OF the Grand In
quest are secret there Ia no way OF sub
stautiating this rumor. H such was the
verdict IL Is some what strange that the
Grand Jury should nave entirely ignored the evi-
dence which led the Coroner to believe that the
ends Of justice demanded his holding Mr.. Barnard.
1t Is a somewhat significant circumstance, too.
that the day after the rendition OF the verdict by
the Coroner's Jury officials from the House OF Indus
try were seen at the Coroners once, eager TO OBJ
tain the names of the citizens who mad composed
the turv
