A Walt to the Torturins instruments Of

About . week ago we were at Nursm-
burg, where We went to see the cham
bsrs OF the Inquisitiou. Az very few
tourists visit these places (for they are
not even mentioned in the guide.book
published In the ethyl, 1 thought It
might not be amiss to attempt a des-
cription. First We were conducted to q
small room with the walls completely
covered with torturing instruments o.
every description. This room wa used
by the regular officers Of the State.
There was q Spanish CLOAK barrel
with the bottom knocked out and . hole
in the top large enough for the neck
and above this q wire cage for the head.
This cloak the drunkard vas compelled
TO wear about the streets, thus repre-
sentins q bottomless barrel. The tor
turing chair has high arms, with the
seat. back. and arm.rests covered with
iron spikes.
The victim was strapped to this chair.

for pulling out the tongue. There Were
also ladies' for dropping melted pitch.
Tho instrument they had for catching
their man might be used. with adyan-
tare, by some Of the Louisville police

end OF which il n kind OF fork with
spring prongs that will open when some

Of yore, when II was desired to catch

between the prongs. The prongs would
oman and his neck would DO e1circlsd
BY q Spanish collar. l. g., iron spikes.
After examining various instruments,
among which were several used for be-
heading, also axes and block, We were
conducted to tho chambers OF the So
called "vehme Gericht." These are a
series OF Ave vaults. directly underneath
the old city walls. Passing through
the first We were shown the "stretcher."

great sectors and interests connected
with the Balti more and Ohio road, il

firmed large number of appointments
made by the President, and it is rumored
that there will be great many more
changes made. The new Senators
Messrs. Alcorn, Terry, Cameron, Christi
ancy and Paddock, all went into the
Republican caucus, thereby destroying
the confidence of many Democratic jour.
mails in their wisdom, integrity and pat.
riotism. Andy johnson did not attend
either the Republican or Democratic
caucus. He says We have had too much
Of party, and that he does not propose to
be bound to any theory or party.
Among the first things introduced after
the Senate was organized was resolution
by s .nator NJ, TT IN for the admission OF
Pinchback. The Senator is persistent in
his en,rts in behalf of the would-be
member from Louisiana. He cant see
how Congress can endorse Kellogg as
Governor and reject Pinchback as SEN

AT A late meeting of the School Board
in Cincinnati Mr.. Prichard, principal Of
one of the large intermediate schools,
in that city gave his views on English
grammar rs study in primary schools.
He is of the opinion that previous to the
twelfth year the minds of the pupils are
not sufficiently matured to understand
its principles, and he introduced reso-
Luton to dispense with English grammar
As now taught in their district schools.
We believe that in most of the schools
throughout the country reform in this
matter is greatly needed, children under
twelve years Of age have their minds
crammed with rules and definitions
which they are unable to put into prac-
teal use, and it retards rather than as
sists mental development. besides giving
them dislike for this branch of study.

themselves INFO the hands Of the military,
and now it is a question of interest as to
what disposition will be made Of them.
Campaigns against the Indians are rath-
er expensive, anil tho government can't
we'll afford to recruit them for another
war this summer. It Is right that they
should receive humane treatment, but it
is slso q matter of Justice that they be
kept under such military restrictions as
that our people on the border may not
be kept in constant dread, of their dep
relations and that the government may
