Chicago. Au-. 1S.-The Jacksonville Deaf and
Dumb Institute is trying to ocstroy what little
chance deaf-mnte children IN the city and county
have of being educated. It attempts to override
the feelings OF parents and guardians for their
unfortunate deaf chi.drea here. II always has
been the bitter opponent Of dcaf~mute school in
Chicago and Cook County. and all for selfish and
political rcasons. Parents hare some rights in
this county, and it is expected that the comfy and
city officers will LOOK aftes them Parents don't
but educated, and where there is the large number
that there Is IN Chicago and Cook County, they
s.ructiou shall be near home, and not 200 miles
away among strangers. That person is devoid Of
manly instincts who would wish 10 tea1 these deaf
children from their parents under 'theac cIEcum-
stances. PARENT OF DEAF-MCTE CHLp-
It would be great convenience to every man
to have an asylum for his afflicted next door to

THE FIRE CRACKER NUIsANCE.-The
average American boy delights in cele-
brating every holiday possible by the use
of fire-crackers and gunpowder. And the
average American boy is not alone in
his enjoyment of these noisy amusements,
for John Chinaman is rs bad of not worse
than he. But the privilege of burning
FIRE crackers is denied by some local gov
ernments, as a precautionary measure
against fire, and the heart of Young
America was sad, The boys certainly
exhibit as much, ifnot mora caution than
the grown up heather, whose days of
noisy rejoicing come altogether too fire.
quently and too unexpectedly to suit us.
A Chinaman has not bit of discretion
in his use Of fre-crackers, but is just as
apt to throw them in front of skittsh
team ar any other place. There should
be some law making such actions crimi-
nal offences and then the heathen would
learn something.

membered thGl the Court House at Sail
mas City was burned to the ground in
January last, and with it was destroyed
all the records of the Tax Collector s
office, as was also the Auditors copy of
the assessmept roll. Matters looked so
suspicious that the Grand Jury and Board
of Supervisors determined to try and
clear the thing up. Duplicate tax re-
ceipts were ardeted printed and tax pay
ers requested to exchange the original re.
pts tor them. The request was com
piled With, when it was found that about
$l7 900 more bad been paid in than wss
cpupied for by the officers. lndict-
M nts were ut once fonnd against the Tax
Collector Castro, and his deputy, Rum =

WAS believed that kumsey was the guilty
putty throughout, and that Castro was

who WAS known 20 have lost large sums
in gambling. A trial of one of .he in

verdict Of ac cluittal, when the other in
dictments we're at once dismissed. Rum
sey was then put on trial, the jury disa-
gr'ssing st the first trial and bringing in n
