THE SLAUGHTER OF THE INNocENTs.

DR.. Richard McSherry, of Baltimore,
has an article in the !Sanitarian for this
month on the above subject. He charges
that the "local authorities OF cities and
very largely throughout the country,
out-Herod He.od in the slaughter OF
the innocents." "rhere is no blood
shed, indeed, in the beginning. but
there is" he says. towards the end, III
various forms of hemorrage." In speak
ing of schools for girls, he expresses
the opinion that tho evils of the school
room "often tend to the cXtinguish-
ment of families" He adds. and the
reasoning applies in the main to chill
drcn of both sexes:
"What else can be expected, when
young children are imprisoned for long
and weary hours, day after day and
year after year. in close and sitting
school rooms, where the air is habitu-
ally so foul as to be exceedingly often
sive to any one entering from without,
though unnoticed by those within who
are breathing it over and over and over
again? A laly who is fond OF plants
and flowers. and has but II small space
for cultivating them. say i'll window
gardening. finds that her favorites re-
quirc goodly quantity of sun and air
to thrive, which she seeks for them ac-
cordingly, while she sends those more
tender plants, the children, to a horrid
school room. whence the rays of the
sun are excluded, while the artificial
heat. often loaded itself with coal gas or
carbonic oxide. is made mephitic with
carbonic acid from many breaths, and
all the eXhalatons that arise from mis-
ccllancous crowd of helpless and inno-
cent little prisoners. This is not mat
ter of comfort or discomfort, but more
clearly matter of life or death with the
children. What is the good of all the
learning, such as it is, acquired i'll tho
school room. and by gas light at home,
to young girl who has Il spinal curva-
ture and Il perpetual headache, and n
weak chest, and indigestion, and tlabby
muscles, and, in short, universal deli
cacy in every part of her organism?
How is she prepared for the wear and
tear of life duties, and what kind of a
help-meet is she going to make? The
evil is crying one; it is fraught with
ruin, yet scarcely any but few medical
men seem to appreciate its Importance.
What is the remedy? Fewer hours
at school," he says. land fewer studies
at any one time. Frequent changes OF
position and air; brief recess every
hour to relieve the mental tension,
stretch the cramped limbs, and enable
the scholars to take in good inspira-
tons of fresh air.
LET the school-room be cleared every
hour, and thoroughly ventilated while
the children play for u few minutes in
the open air in good weather, or under
shelter while it rains. The shelter
should be provided, no matter what the
cost. Life and learning are of little
worth without health, but learning and
health would both be promoted by these
measures"

GERMINATIoN FROM SEED Two Thou
SAND YEARS OLD.-A most interesting
observation, referring to the power of
termination in seed which is hundreds
and even thousands of years old, is said
to have been made by Professor Hend-
reich, in Greece. In the silver mines
of Laurium, only the slags left by the
ancient Greeks are at present worked
off, in order to gain, after an improved
modern method, silver still left in that
dross. This refuse ore is probably
about two thousand years old. Among
il, the seed of species of glaucium, or
poppy was found. After little while,
when the slags were brought up and
suddenly arose crop OF glaucium
plants. with beautiful yellow flower,
Of Il kind unknown in modern botany.

HIS PREsCRIPTION.-lm one of the
small mining camps in the Black Hills
lay a big Cornishman stricken with fe-
YER. His wife, being unskilled in reme-.
dies, hunted for q doctor, failing, how
ever, after long and patient search, to
discover anything better than veterin-
airy surgeon. 'What would you do,
DOCTOR" she cried, ''if your own hus-
band was delirious with fever?" mad
am" said he, II know no more than

brutes." "Well, doctor, my husband is
as strong as horse. What could You
do for horse? and for Heavens sake
tell me quick" Madam, Ishould open
his mouth, pull his tongue out on one
side to prevent his biting me, and give
him this fever powder. paper, string
and ALL" Blinded with tears of graft
tude, the poor woman paid for the fever
powder and departed. History says the
man got we'll, but he has hole in his
tongue, and his wife has only three fin
gers on one hand.

San Carlos Agency.

A dispatch from Mr.. Sweeney of date
10Th, says that he just had talk with
the Chiricahuas and the result was en-
tirely satisfactory. Agent Clum says
he has not the least fear regarding the
conduct of the Chiricahuas at San
Carlos.
Mr.. Sweneey's dispatch says an Ind
ian chief named Qua-ta-chea-ko who
left the reservation last Winter without
permission and for whose peaceable
return every effort had. been put forth,
was lately killed by two men of anoth-
er band.
Agent Clum tells us that he is very
credibly informed that the murderer
Pion-se-nay is at the Warm Springs
agency in New Mexico, and that there
is some hope of his recapture and re-
turn TO Justice in Arizona.
The Indian scout under Capt. Blu
ford. which recently explored the coun-
try about Dos Cabesas, has returned to
San Carlos without finding any Ind
ians where they were reported; but
three Chiricahuas who were permitted
to remain at Apache Pass to take care
of sick one, accompanied the scout
ing party TO San Carlos, their patient

Says a late number of the San Ber-
nardinO Times:
The business of grazing seems to
have reached a turning point in Cal
ifornia IL is just now extremely de-
pressed, and the present circumstances
suggest and favor some changes. The
construction of railroads, the spread
of settlements, the extension OF the
area occupied by grain, the rapid null
duplication of sheep, and the rise in
the value of land, have tended to
increase the demand while dimin-
ishing the supply of pasture SO much
there would probably be serious loss if
next Winter should bring scanty
rainfall The apprehension of such a
disaster, the low price of merino wool.
and the cheapness of mutton-the last
partly the result of the large grass
crop-and the unexpected difficulty in
driving sheep to Arizona have contrib
uted to bring on panic in the sheep
market.

Pretty and pale and tired

While the blazing summer sun
Shines in on her soft brown hair,
And the tiny brook without,
That she hears through the open door,
Mocks with its murmur cool
Hard bench and dusty floor

Grammar and 4, BIC;
The blackboard and the sums;
The stupid geography;

Whether John " is in any case"
Or Kansas in Omaha.
But Jemmy's bare brown feet
Are aching TO wade In the stream,
Where the trout 10 his Turing bait
Shall leap with a quick bright gleam;
And his teachers blue eyes stray
To the flowers on the desk hard by,
Till her thoughts have followed her eyes
With a half-unconscious sigh.
Her heart outruns the clock.
AS she smells their faint sweet scent;
But when have time and heart
Their measure in unison blent9
For time will haste or lag,
Like your shadow on the grass,
That fingers far behind,
Or flies when you fain would pass.
Have patience, restless Jem,
The stream and the fish will wait;
And patience, tired blue eyes
Down the winding road by the gate,
Under the willow shade,
Stands some one with fresher flowers;
So turn to your books again,
And keep love for the after hours.

THIS is not the least among the elo-
quent sayings attributed to the late
Geo. Sand. Speaking of agriculturists,
she said: What they entice out of the
ground makes the country rich. They
who grow these things are fellow
with the sun, with clouds, with
the winds, with the warm old earth.
One should never forget this, and rate
them highly for their great usefulness.

FLORENCE, July 13, 1876.

FLORENCE, July IL, 1876.
Times are quite lively here; in fact
for its size, Florence is the livliest
place in the Territory. There are sew
eral new buildings being erected al
present and others in prospective. II
is amusing to hear the fabulous prices
at which some lots are held here, espe-
cially those near the center of the
town; although they cost most of the
present owners little or nothing, being
situated mostly on school land.
The people here are mainly of the
go-a-head kind, and Pinal county in a
few years will be the richest in the
Territory and leave old mother Pima
far behind, who will, like any other
old mother, admire the grand proper
tons to which one of her spare ribs
has grown, and remembering that she
was once queen of the Territory, will
probably exclsim musingly to her own
mind: "Sic Sempre Transit, Gloria
Mundi or words to that effect.
