Mr.. G.. II. Haselton, of Greensboro.
has little girl, four Years old, who fell
from the bed when about three months
old. striking on the back of her head
and hurting her severely. Very soon
after this her head began to grow quite
rapidly. and in three months had in
creased nine inches in circumference.
All efforts to arrest the growth proved
futile. The head now measures twenty
six aud one-half inches one way, and
twenty -four aud thrcc-fourthS the other.
The expansion Of the head seems to be
all above the eyes. The body is about
the size of children of that age and
well formed, but it has not enough
strength to carry the head. 50 the child
has to be held. or ii lies in its crib, OF
it plays on the floor. just as it wishes.
1t seems to possess intelli %encc, and
learns rapidly when put to the test it
is quite healthy, and has Il good APP
petite. The head is hard like all heads,
and fol the present does not grow faster
than nature would have it.

A Good Idea.

The report of the committee on sew
i'll" in the public schools has just been
printed. The fact that sewing is Il very
important branch of public education is
shown 10y the reports of thirty comp"-
tent ladies from the community at large.
who were invited To inspect the schools
The main reason for this appears to he
that Il very large prnpoitio of the girls
in our schools can learn sewing III no
other way during their school years.
and the amount of instruction that they
gain i'll the schools is shown 10y these
reports to he of exceeding value. AZ
ten careful consideration the committee
advises Il careful and thorough teaching
of sewing in all the lower classes of the
gml> schools that it should begin in
the primary schools. where the hrys
could he taught with advantage us we'll
as the gills. and should he continued
certainly through the three lower class
es OF the grammar schools. and that it
should be left optional with each COM
mittce of the several schools to pursue
the Instructions through the higher
CLASSES. But it should he repaired in
the schools that the instruction should
he thorough and efficient. so that after
six or eight years of careful teaching
the pupil may have gained Il Sati>iactn-
~ knowledge of this useful branch of
education. Boston Transcript

when the people of this county will be
called upon to cast their votes for men
to fill the several county Offices. 1t be-
hooves every true democrat to think
over the matter candidly and seriously.
1t is true there are no republican candi-
dates out for any of the county offices,
but the dissatisfaction in the ranks of
the democrats is encouraged and jagged
on by them with the hope and for the sole
purpose of completely disorganizing the
democracy of Lafayette, and gratifying
their own selfish ends. To Denote it
is money, as he already boasts of his in
creased circulation, occasioned by the
rupture in our party. Then let every

DEPoRTMENT IN CHURCH.

A writer in the South Florida Journal
gives expression to very sensible views
upon the inexcusable, mgentlemanly
habit of misbehaving in church. There
are those who claim to be OF gentle
blood and courteous training who DIS
port themselves in nj congregations
like ill-mannered, untutoredl heather.
The following is the article referred to
Behavior is Indicative of character.
This criterion applies more exactly and
severely to department in church than
to department elsewhere. 1t does not
matter what ~pretensions a man may
make for himself-no matter what his
relations may be no matter what church
is concerned, Protestant. Catholic. jew
ish or christian-the man who so be-
HAYES in the place of worship as to en-.
barrass or disturb the worshippers will
forfeit his claim to be regarded as a
gentleman. Society will hold him to
this conclusion. Nobody obllges an
unwilling party to attend divine service
1t he has no fear of God, and no regard
for the opinions of the wise and good,
if he is not restrained by the ordinary
motives which influence cultivated and
Christian men, and if he will behave
like a rufian in the place where tn
Awful God IS approached in acts O
solemn service-then his place is else
where he has no business there and tn
sharp edge of the civil law must b.
applied to teach him respect for tn
rights of others.

PROGRESS OF THE BTTIEs.

An editorial in the New Orleans
Times of the 9Th INST, gives q most
account Of Abe present

Pass Jetties. According to the state.
ment of the Times, confirmed by of.
fetal ;reporta of the, acting. engineer,
the jettiss built at the mouth OF the
Pass, where it's waters enter the
gulf, have already achieved the work
promised for them ; and where the
old bar rose to within seven or eight
feet of the surface, there is now
clean, clear, broad permanent chan
mel of twenty-five feet three inches
in depth and nearly two hundred feet
wide. Some portions of this channel
are twenty-four feet deep, and the
scour is adding te their
depth and width every day. The

frsm the article in the Times, shows
how the work is progressing at this
point: iz3fas
"The bar here is $500 feet, from
