Our winter school commenced on Mon- day. Oct. 30th, with Mr. A. H. Taylor as teacher. One of our smArtest young men, Mir. Willie Fennell, commenced a school in the Hollow, or as it is more generally called. Hardscrabble, on the same date.
 We rather suspect that our '.big law suit" has been postponed or settled.
 We have returned from the Centenni- al filled with wonder, and would like to tell what we saw there. but, like every one else who has been there, the greater part Of it slips our mind. It is impossible for any one to see any considerable part Of the show in the short stay of one week. Among some of the most interesting things, we note the Corliss .engine the little watch from Switzerland, the small est in the world the Malachite from Rus sia, which is perfectly splendid; and lots of other things, too numerous to mention,

Restitutione

The American has already considered the charge of log rolling advanced against Mr Kellogg. who, horrible to contem- plate. has not covered his back-pay into the treasury, but has allowed it to remain m the hands of the sergeant-at-arms. When an aroused public opin- lon finally condemned the grab, some who had drawn the money kept it, others refunded it, and some, like Mir. Kellogg. refused to touch it. Such men felt that their past had been honorable enough to entltle them to confidence, and they re- fused to have anything to do with the mon ey, lest 1t attach @ sense of weakness to their characters. as If the public voice had been needed to make them honest. Pride and self-respect united to make them adhere to this course, and while we may not commend it entirely, as it leaves the suspicion that the money might be drawn afterwards, we do not regard it as a moral weakness. though we may re- gard 1t as a mistaken judgment Water 6sETy American.
 No false pride that might have induced NIT Kellogg to refuse to interfere with that money before election can prevent hum from doing justice now. It certainly belongs either to Mir. Kellogg or to the United States government. It should have already earned thousand dollars interest to the government or to Mir. Kellogg. Mo- body believes that he can be silly enough to leave it forever in the hands of the Ser geant-at-Arms doing neither the govern nent nor himself any good. He can con- trOl it. and no one else, and sometime or other he must make his election. either to take that money himself or to return it to the treasury. Now if he means the gov ernment to have it, why not cover it back into the treasury at once, before another thousand dollars of interest is sacrificed by further years of delay'
 The Supreme Court of the United States has refused a woman the right to practice law at its bar. The reason given is sim ply that the proposition is 6 novel one, and that courts hate novelties. As the matter now stands women are practically refused admission to two of the three learned professions, and have only a grudging recognition in the third. Why cannot the lawyers, the ministers and the doctors leave it to the people to decide whether they want the services of women in each of their respective professions 1? The courts concede citizenship to women, but what do they mean by citizenship :? Does it not give them the opportunity, if thoroughly qualified. to get clients, pa- rishiOners and patients, if they can? No class of citizens that vote need fear any such injustice as this, but the disfran- chised citizen finds no end of obstacles in her wav

About 5000 persons were prosecu- ted during the past year in the state, of whom but 543 paid fines. Outside, Bos- ton juries convicted Tn about third ofthe cases tried before them. disagreed in an- other third, and acquitted the rest. In Boston only about tenth of those prose- cuted paid fines, although more than half those tried were convicted.
