A QUESTION concerning the authority
to appoint the foreman of grand jury
came up recently before the judges of
the courts of Clinton County, Pa. The
majority of the judges decided that the
grand jury has the authority to appoint
its own foreman. Judge William Dunn,
associate Judge of the courts of the
county, gave an opinion that the Sheriff
alone has the power of making this ap-
pointment. In his opinion he presented
a sketch of the history and organization
of the English courts from the time OF
the Saxon conquest of England. In the
first county courts the Sheriff, together
with bishop and an alderman, pre-
sided. After noticing the various
changes that ensued by the organization
of new courts and the distribution of
judicial authority, he concludes with
the remark that when its present author
ity became vested in the court called the
County County, the Sheriff7s duties be-
fore the court prevented his presiding on
the grand jury, and consequently he ap-
pointed a foreman.

APRoPos of the subject of burial, a
very curious tradition is said to exist
among the natives of Abyssinia with
regard to the origin of burial. They
say thatywhen Adam found the body of
the murdered Abel he carried it about
upon his shoulders for twenty days, not
knowing how to dispose of it. The Al
mighty took pity on him, and sent forth
a crow with its dead young one on Its
back; and the crow few before Adam
until it came to a tract of sandy ground.
in which it dug a hole with its feet and
there buried its young one. And when
Adam saw this he dug a grave in the
sand and buried his lost boy in it.

are utterly unable to buy school books
for their children may have them gratis
This scheme could be carried out with
out making the least impression on the
tax duplicate. 1t should pay its cost.
What would the people save? AT least
half what their school books now cost
them, besides all the loss resulting from
frequent changes to enrich some Yam
kee publisher. The total economy of it
would amount to more than $4,000 900
year and cost the State nothing, be-

A labor organization, cognate to the
Patrons of Husbandry tGranges), was
organized January LIST, 1874, at SPRING
field, Mass, under the name of the "Sov-
ereigns of Industry" Its design is to
affiliate such laborers as are not farmers,
and cannot. therefore, become grangers.
Its headquarters are at Worcester
Mass. The supreme degree, or head of
the organization, is called the "National
Council" The fees Of admission are 81
for men and 81 for women, with 81 an
nual dues, payable quarterly. Deputies
have been appointed for the organization
of subj Councils in eighteen States. Mr..
William III. Earle is the Master of the
National Council. He was at st. Louis
during the session of the National
Grange, and met the most cordial recep-
tion from the master grangers, who as
sured him of their desire to affiliate with
all honest and unselfish labor orders. He
authorized twenty of the masters to act
as deputies for the organization of sub
Councils of the Sovereigns of Labor. He
organized Council in Chicago last week
There is still another new labor order
called the s'Advocates of Justice" with
Mr.. Perriam. editor of the Western Bur-
al. for Grand Master. 1t is making pro-
gress, but its friends are not yet prerar-
ed to make public exposition of its con-
dition. In looking at all these orders
one cannot but be struck by the activi-
ty that prevails among the laboring
classes and the probabilities that they
may exercise potent influence on the
next Presidential election. Indeed it
would not surprise us if they should die
tate the next President and the line of
policy to be pursued by the next admin
istration. Certainly there is work
enough for them to do in renovating the
government and promoting justice.

Even the bugs are at it. While the
female praying bands are thinning QUA
the liquor saloons and securing the de-
struction of the manufactured article,
that terribly destructive insect, the
philox-era, is laying vineyards Of the
Old World waste and striking at the
very root of the evil. In France socie-
ties have been formed, for devising
some means Of determination, but the
philox goes right on, nndismayed and
unless some extraordinary powerful
kind of exterminator is soon discovered
he will double the price of champagne
within the ensuing year.

AMONG the most provoking little mo-
nopolies that ever afflicted a patient
people is that of school-books. The Gin
cinnati Star, in recent issue has an ar
ticle upon this subject, and says that by
the aid of the copy right impertiBence a
few publishers of school-books amass
gigantic fortunes chiefly at the expense
of the poor who have more children
than good luck. Instigated by the love
of money which is ''the root of all evil''
as st. Paul declares, they displace good
books from rival publisher by new
ones that have been got up for that pur-
pose exclusively, and not because they
are any improvement. AT heavy ex-
pense the publishers keep "cute" agents
in the field who are up to anything from
making a conundrum to lecturing to
the schools or preaching a sermon.
These agents go into school and per-
suade the teacher to permit an exchange
of old books of the pupils for ''bran
new" ones. Thus is sale established
for the new book until an agent of some
other house comes along, and after
preaching and lecturing, or performing
some wonderful cures as physician,
persuades them to make another change.
Sometimes changes of books are effec-
ted through the teachers, who are in
duced to declare the one in use (gram-
mar, geography, arithmetic, modern
history, or, what not to be poor things
compared with the new ones. The
thing is done in divers ways to the loss
of the people of the State of about ST.
SOC, 900 per year. This school book Chi
canery during the past twenty years
has filed almost every homestead of the
State with quite large library of out
cast school-books, that are just as good
as those which they have displaced, but
which are not even fit for waste-paper.
A bill has been introduced into the Ohio
Legislature by Mr.. Mccoy, of the
House, to check this abuse. Its title is
'sTo authorize the appointment of Com
missioners to compile or prepare Sc.
ries OF text or school-boOks for use in
the Common Schoolsof the State o
Ohio" 1t is not intended to make the
State the publisher of school books
only to appoint Commissioners to ''ge
up' series or books for private citizens
to publish on the free trade principle
without the copyright monopoly. Th
Gazette thinks the proposition goo'
one. We think that it will not amoun
to anything, because there will be $
much uncertainty abont the profits tina
no publisher would take hold Of tn
Commissioners books unless he coul
have monopoly. Mr.. Mccoy Nigh
frame bill that would be success
Let the Commissioners get up the books
Let the State get them stereotyped b
the lowest bidder Let the lowest bic
der print them, and let the lowest biz
der finish them. Let the State Superir
tendent be charged with the distribt
ton of them throughout the State at

ART DEPARTMENT 1874

The Illustrations of THE ALDINE have won
a worldwide reputation, and in the art centres
of Europe it is an admitted fact that its wood
cuts are examples of the highest perfection ever
attained. The common prejudice in favor OF
steel-plates is rapidly yielding to a more educa-
ted and discriminating taste which recognizes
the advantages of superior artistic quality with
greater facility of production. The wood-cuts
of THE ALDINE possess all the delicacy and
elaborate finish of the most costly steel-plate,
while they afford better rendering of the ar
fists original.
To fully realize the wonderful work which
THE ALDINE is doing for the cause of art cul-
tnre in America, it is only necessary TO con-
slider the cost to the people of any other
decent representations Of the productions OF
great painters.
In addition to designs by the members of the
National Academy, and other noted American
artists, THE ALDINE will reproduce exam
pies of the best foreign masters, selected with
a view to the highest artistic success, and great
est general interest. Thus the subscriber to
THE ALDINE will, at trifling cost, enjoy in
his own home the pleasures and refining influ-
ences of true art.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will be by
Thos. Moran and j. ID. Woodward.
The Christmas issue for 1874 will contain spe-
cial designs appropriate to the season, by our
best artists, and will surpass in attractions any
of its predecessors.

INVENTIVE TALENT IN OHIO.
The Scientific American gives the
number of patents granted in 1873 to
citizens OF this State as s32, which is in
the proportion of one to each 3,203 of
population. The total number of pat
ents for the whole United States is

is naturally greatest in States like Con-

A pA1NEsvILLE INvENTIoN.

We find in the Scientific american
full description with illustrations of
Easements Pressure Regulator for
Fluids" the invention of d. L. Case
ment of Painesville. 1t is designed to
regulate the pressure and flow of gas
from gas wells, or water through pipes
where there is heavy pressure or head,
so that the flow or pressure of tie fluid
in the pipes may be lessened or increas-
ed at will. The invention, it is thoughG,
will be very useful in its application to
Holly water-works and variety of
purposes. 1t has been patented in sew
eral countries of Europe as well as the
United States.
Mr.. Easement has also recently pat
ented an improved steam boiler and To-
comotive.
