Current Notes.

The World is very facetious over the pros
pect of anew party, and says: We have heard
OF these 'best-men" parties before. Our po.
litical infirmares and junk-shops are full of
them and their dismembered fragments, and
five hundred such organizations could be
beaten at the polls by merely rafting, for fic-
titious thunder, a bapdfuI Of peas in a dried
bladder.
The New York Tribune is moved to call
the vast scheme of costly canals and railroads
fer the benefit Of hungry voters, as suggested
by the Washington Republican, the great fed
eral s0up-house.
The Wing in noticing the resolve to quiet
the Aroostook settlers, published in the PRESS,
says that we do not express an opinion as to
the character of the claim, but is not pleased
because we gave the history of the resolve,
probably because one of its friends is in the
record. Ten to one, the Wing finds the claim
a good one. Ii it is an honest claim the Eu-
ropean & North American Railway Company
should pay it.
The New York Mail says that the only way
to get fair jury in New York is 10 have it
drawn in open court.
The Indiana Supreme Court has just rem
dercd decision that colored children in that
state except in districts where they are in
sufficient numbers, for the establishment of
separate schools. are not entitled to any pub.
lie education. The ground of this opinion
is that the advantages of free schools are con-
ferred by the State Constitution only upon
"citizens;'' and at the time the constitution
was adopted the colored people were not citi-
zens. This sort Of hair-splitting leads one 10
infer that the Indiana Democracy don't take
XVIII amendment straight, and thai the
whole question may be opened again.

not disturbed, but a constant watch was kept
by the guards. The weather was very severe,
the Thermometer being below zero, bnt they
persevered The fossil beds explored were Of

two tons of fossil bones were collected, most of
them rare specimens, and many unknown to

while Others are allied to the camel, rhinoceros
and horse. This collection, one of the finest
ever made in the west, goes to Yale College,
