Casselps Popular Educator says
"The invention of the modern system OF
punctuation has been attributed to the
Alexandrian grammarian AristOphanes,
afler whom it was improved by succeed
ing grammarians; but 1t was 50 entirely
lost IN the time OF Charlem lgne that he
found IL necessary to have 1t restored
by Warnesrried and AIOun. 1t con-
sisted at first OF only one point, used in
three ways, and sometimes of stroke
formed in several ways; but as no par
ticular rules were 70 lowed in the use OF
these signs, punctuation was exceeding
ly uncertain until the end ofthe fifteenth
century, when the learned Yene tian
printers, the Manutii, increased the
number of the sigus and estabrished
some fixed rules for their application.
These were SO generally adopted that
we may consider the nutii as the i'll
Ventors OF the present Dthod ofpunctu-
alton; and, although modern grammar-
ans have introduced some imp p;Ove-
ments, nothing but few particular
rules have been added since their time.

In Mem OrIanl.

CALIFORNIA, o., March 20.
1t is our mourniul duty TO announce
another death in the family of A. Z.
Johnston, long resident of this vii.
lage. Mrs. Mary p. Mccullough, wife OF
Joseph e. Mccullough, and daughter of
A. T. and Harriet b. Johnston, died al
her fathers residence this morning about
3 O'Clock, of consumption. For more
than six months she had been gradually
declining-and that, TOO, in spite OF the
most sklllful medical treatment and
delicate attentions Of parents and
friends. Though a great sufferer during
few days previous TO her last hours,
she passed away in comparative ease.
Mrs. Mccullough was in her thirty
first year, and leaves tour children, two
girls anu two boys. She is the Oldest
daughter Of A. p. and Harriet b. john
ston, and niece Of G. w. q. johnston,
the present Mayor OF Cincinnati.
Mrs. Mccullough, besides being q
kind-hearted and loving wife and an ar
lectionate daughter, was an excellent
musician, and in by-gone days filed
the home circle with sunshine and
cheeriulness, by her joyous and sprightly
music, making it the most pleasant
spot on earth to her parents, brothers
and sisters, and center of attraction
to all who love social enjoyment.
During her last sickness she was con-
stantly surrounded by multitude oil
friends and distracted and forlorn
husband; but it was reserved for the
intensely loving father to tarry i'll the
bedchamber long enough to see the last
breath leave his dying daughter. She
is gone, and in few days will be laid
beside her sister, Lizzie CasselI, at
Spring Grove. The grass will soon grow
green upon her grave, but it will be
many, many years before she will be
forgotten.
Mrs. McCullogh was member of the
Christian Church. The time of the
funeral services will be duly announced.

A Few Items for Mothers to Read.

A correspondent, in writing to the
Middletown Press, offers the following
seasonable suggestions to mothers of af-
flicted children:
We hope that mothers will remember
that good brandy is a cure for summer
complaint; in bad cases teaspoonful in
milk three or four times day
A flannel cloth, wet in hot brandy, or
better, camphor and brandy mixed and
heated, will relieve the pain of the bow
els, if frequently laid over the stomach
and bowels.
Bits of scraped ice are better on the
tongue than drinks of water.
For stings and poisons, a strong solu-
ton of saleratus and water immediately
and then frequently applied, gives relief
and sure cure
For burns, an immediate application
OF flour covering the burn and wrapped
so as to exclude the air; then burn lard
till it is quite brown and apply, and re-
lief and cure will soon come. Do not
wash off the flour if it clings, but put the
lard over it.
At night, in extreme warm weather, a
lemon squeezed in tepid water, to sponge
off the tired-out little body, will give
rest to both the mother and child. Sal
eratus is good, but the lemon is best,
Even washing off the little feet, neck and
palms of the hands in tepid, never very
cold, water, will induce healthfuI
sleep,

Organized Bands of SVvindlers.

A Danville, ILL.,, dispatch Of the 18th
says: The existence of one Of the boldest and
best organized bands of horse thieves and
counterfeiters that perhaps ever carried on
operations in the West, has recently been dis
covered, and few of the number of the band
arrested and incarccrated in Jail in different
places in Illinois, The Acknowledgements show
a terrible state of outlawry and robbery. The
number of those comprising the organization
is 49, The operations are confined to Iowa,
Illinois, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. The
leader is said to be man named Billy Scott,
at one time wealthy farmer in Illinois. He
lost his property by life of dissipation. Scott
has in his band a number Of unprincipled vii
lains, who use the disguise of clergymen, ped
oilers and singing-school teachers to accom-
plish their thieving schemes. Religious re-
vivals and other meetings furnish them a good
opportunity for plumber. In many places in
Illinois counterfeiters have been largely en-
gagged in Showing the queer' with considera-
BILE success. On the 18th, Charley Burns and
Dave Preston, counterfeiters, were arrested at
Decatur, III. From disclosures made at the
timc sufficient clue was obtained to warrant
the arrest of number of others, some of them
formerly well-known farmers in Illinois, and
other Western States. Considerable excite
ment exists over the numerous thefts made, and
the farmers are getting organized for their
own protection against the deprcdationss OF
this lawless band. II

Along the Lower Missouri.

Specials from points on the Missouri
riversome give additional news of the freshet
in that stream. At Kansas City the Missouri
has fallen four inches and the Kaw
river about two feet. Very little land is Wis
ible opposite Kansas City. The town of Har-
lem is deserted. The railroad tracks previous
lymentioped are still under water, but passcng-
ers are transferred in omnibusscs or sent round
by other roads, there being but little deten-
ton. At Boonville, warehouses, the dykes
along the river bank and large quantities of
cordwood have been swept away and many
houses nearly submerged. The Missouri,
Kansas & Texas road dyke is being strength
ened. The stock yards and track Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific road are submerged. The river
is very high at other points below but no ma
terial damage is yet being reported.

eral mills are without hands. At meeting of
strikers in Military hall to-day Gustave Hen
ricks favored returning to work. The women
attacked him and tore his coat, and one wom-
an threw salt and pepper in his eyes. He drew
an empty revolver but was chased out Of the hall
and persued half a mile, hundreds of persons
joining in the chase. He was captured, taken
before the justice and discharged He made
complaint against the woman who assaulted
him with salt and pepper, and she was arrest
cd and held to bail in $500. Thc.strkers visit
ed various mills to persuade the operatives to
join them. The police have been called upon
to protect the hands at work. The general
sentiment seems to be that the strike is ill
advised. t&5
The Forthcoming civil service Reform
~ 1872 Rules.
It is thought that at least a week will
elapse before the civil service reform rules will
be ready for PRONUNCIATION. From private ut
tcrances of the President it is inferred that all
the federal officers will be prohibited from TAX
ing an active part in political manifestations
becoming members of political conventions,
or serving as members of political committees.
subject said, that while the enforcement of
such a rule might, and probably would work
some injury to the Republican party for a little
while to come, yet it was sound in principle,
and he would insist upon it's being strictly OBJ
served. In the end he thought the Republi-
can party would be benefited by it. It was
brought to the Presidents attention some days
ago, that in the large Atlantic cities, like Bos-
ton, New York and Baltimore, the manipula-
ton of Republican primary elections had for
years been mainly directed by custom house
and other federal officials. The President said
he was pretty well cognizant Of all these facts,
and the time had come when there must be a
change. He has no objection to any of the
federal officers who thought that partyism, or
duty to party demanded that they should man
age primary meetings and conventions, resign
ing their offices, but they must do one or the
other. = .s1i| 5."t
