In commenting upon the report of the Leg
islative Committee on Crime, THE TRIBUNE
recently expressed strong approval OF the slg-
gestion that criminals after serving out their
sentences should be put under system OF
surveillance 1t is well known that at present,
after release. they are driven back into crime
by other criminals and sometimes by police
men and detectives who take advantage OF
their needs The counsel of the Committee Oh
Crime has prepared, at the request OF the
Police Commissioners, bill designed to en-
force plan of surveillance for perioc
equal to that for which the discharged criminal
may have been sentenced requiring report
twice q month as to residence and removal.
These reports are not TO he made public I'M
der penalty of imprisonment, except to officials
engaged in detecting or suppressing crime !;
and the bill otherwise provides that no lnjur,
shall be done to character by such records
The use of an assumed name by crImna
during trial is by this bill made felony
The measure apparently does justice to the
class of persons affected by it, and will prob
ably be of service to them "a we'll rs to the
community.

The Democrats of Connecticut, after some
annarent hesitation, came out boldly yesterday
in the resolutions Of the State Convention In
favor of honest currency and sustaining the
public credit. Their platform may be fairly
set off against that of the Greenback Conven-
ton of the day before. In Ohio the Prohibi-
tion Convention varied from the usual list OF
resolutions on Temperance topics, by adding
planks concerning the public school system and
Bible reading.

There was q queer little debate over it, how

Much of the time of the Advisory Council
was wasted yesterday in discussions and use
less resolutions concerning newspaper reports
of what are called secret sessions. The An
dover Church letter was considered, and It's
proposals were left to the option OF plymouth
Church, but coupled with the opinion of the
Council that the views are not in accordance
with Congregational usage; which will probably
close that branch of the business. The Ply
mouth Church Investigating Committee OF
1874 Jared much better than was expected when
the question of approving their proceedings
came to vote All the reports as now
adopted are favorable TO plymouth Church.
and all have been passed over to the Committee OF
Nine to receive final touches. The Scandal Bureau
scheme also rests with the Nine. Mr.. Bowen
presented his budget of scandal to the tx
aiming Committee of the Church; but when
opened it was found to he wanting i'll names,

have resolved to lower their prices through

we shall get after March 1 for the new price,

furnished here. The concession Is gracefully
made on the ground that it is due to the hard

labor. Perhaps equal credit should be given
to the cheapness of kerosene and the improve
ments in lamps that burn it.

Remedy for Nervous Headache.

A well known Kentucky minister,
subject to severe spells of nervous
headache, was i'll our office the other
day, says an exchange, during one OF
these attacks. Major Brown, of Mex
leo, was present, and proposed to re-
lieve him in five minutes, which he did
most eflectuaily. The following is the
prescription:
Take dessert spoonful of common
soda, such as Is used in making bread
and dissolve il thoroughly in quart
Of cold water. With this thoroughly
shampoo the head for about five min.
utes, scratching the head and the back
of the neck with the finger nails.
Then rinse the head with clear cold
water. Major Brown says he has used
this remedy in perhaps a thousand
cases since 1858, and never once failed
to give relief in five or ten minutes.
This remedy is for nervous headache,
and not for those Affections of the
head arising from deranged stomach.

When to Sow Glover.


Morris. of the Agriculturist, writes
as follows:
"My own practice is to harrow the
wheat three times in the spring. We
go over the wheat both ways with the
harrow, and then SOW the clover seed.
and follow with the harrow to cover
the seed. If the ground is very hard,
the harrows do not break up the crust
sufficiently to afford good covering
for the seed, and if dry weather follows
we have poor catch on these hard
spots. | have my doubts as 10 which
is the better plan, but am inclined to
think that so far as securing good
catch of timothy and clover is con-
cerned, it is better to give up harrow
ing winter wheat in the spring, and
SOW timothy seed in the fall, and clo-
YER seed very early in the spring. 1t
depends very much OH the soil and sea-
son. The harrow helps the wheat, and
kills a good many weeds, and on sandy
loan the harrow leaves good seed
bed for the clover, and if we aie IA
vored with a few showers. we are pref
ty sure of a good catch of clover"
