BYRON McALPIxE, Principal.
We spent a couple Of days In the
various departments of these schools
only short time since, and feel
assured they are all they can be un-
der the circumstances. 1t Is unfair
to secure the services OF first class
teachers. and place them In buildings
utterly unfit for the proper classifi-
cation and graduation of the school,
and then expect first-class results to
follow. Mr.. McAlpine is an accom-
plished teacher, and has around him
more than an average corps Of
teachers as assistants; but the
crowded condition Of the lower
rooms will not admit OF the thorough
ness OF work or the desired disci-
pline which he and his teachers so
much desire. There have been GER
tain local obstacles to the efficiency
of the Bourbon schools for some
years past. but as most of these
hinderances have now disappeared,
1t is hoped that the citizens will rally
around their public schools with a
determination to uphold all the
good and needed reforms which m ay
be inaugurated by the principal and
school board. We noticed some
signs Of reform In the manner of
dismissals, and Of pupils department
to and around the building, which
shows that Mr.. McAlpine has an eye
to his business, and will most GER

To Remove Particles from the
Eye. " rf-i-t


Whenevera fly, or other insect, a
small fyiag seed, quicklime, dust or
any other minute object gets into the
eye, do not adopt the common habit oil
rubbing ,or even of washing whitewater,
but gently raise, or get a gentle hand to
raise for you, the eyelid, and bend the
head forward. In keeping thus the
eyelid elevated, and the eye quiescent
for few moments, one feels The flow
of tears starting from the organ which
seldom fails to bring with il the cause
of the pain, or at least to carry it to-
ward the corner of the eye to the nose,
whence it may be removed by q fine
handkerchief folded to a point. If this
operation is not sufficient, then q finger
oughtO be passed frequently, yet gem
tly, over the eyelid, from the exterior
corner OF the eye toward the interior
corner, by which means the substance
is made to descend toward the lachry-
maf glands, from whence II may be
drawn by fine hair pencil. II the ir-
ritating object still remains. then We
are further instructed that "the upper
ey eiid must be taken as before. and
kept elevated as much As possible, ,aud,

nose, very fiue camePs hair pencil,

II the very fine hair pencil Is moi sue

succeed with one rather larger. Should
all these Efforts fail, which ia extreme
ly unlikely If they are properly per
formed, do not set to work rubbing oil

professional assistance. Be sure tC

AVERAGES OF HEALTH.
Number of Days q Person May
Expect 80 be sick in u Year.

The latest effort Of science in the di-
rection Of averages Is found in the
iec:ur of Dr. Reginald Southey on
I..Individusl Hygiene" DIR. Southey
divides human lie into eight periods,
which em brace the com mmencement and
culmination, the beginning and the end.
rhe first period is babyhood, which
comprises the first year Of existence;
he second is Infancy, from lto1; the
third is childhood, from to IA; the
fourth is adolescs nee. from "A to II; the
fifth is maturity, from q to AZ; the
sixth is middle age, from ~ 10 65; the
seventh Is old age, nom 63 to %; the
eighth is deerepitnde, from "a to 81.
Dr. Soathey like the anciet healer,
Hippocrstes, is wise enough not % att
tempt tho average of baby hood, infan-
cy, childhood and adolescence If the
doctor Is 8 msrried man, however, he
must know that the true average Of the
illness Of baby hood Is 20S days out Of
$685. In infancy and babyhood the
average depends so much upon the con-
eiitio1 OF the green apple crop and the
proximity Of creeks and ponds that the
scientist was doubtless puzzled to OBJ
tain q. percentage OF sickness for those
periods which would not seem either
arbitrary OF absurd. sHehas therefore
skipped over the first twenty-One years
of exisfenee and commenced his table
at period before reaching which
goodiy portion of mortais cease 10 be
sick at all, and get rid OF the doctor by
going into the grave. Many scarcely
start on the journey of life before they
give II up, as bad job and return,
from whence they came. Others stag
ger along in rickety sort of wey past.
Those who attain the aye Of maturity
have q better chsnch 10 explore the
miseries uf existence. These will be
interested in the result of DR.. Southey's
researches. The following Is his table

Special to the Cincinnati Gazette
New YoRx. Feb. IA report is circu-
lating to night, around the clubs and hotels,
that important evidence has been found con-
Meeting the Democratic managers with an at
tempt TO secure an Electoral vote by pur-
chase. The names of the witnesses have been
sent to the Senate Investigating Committee.
The attacks on Justice Bradley continue as
furious as ever on the part of the Democratic
papers. The Sun has long editorial, show
ing the unconstitutionality of the Electoral
bill, and plainly intiInating the right of the
Democracy to refuse TO sustain the action of
the Commission in event of Hayes selection.
There is good reason to believe that the DEM
ocrats intend making serious trouble in such
an event The old plan of having Tilden
sworn in on the 4th of March has been re-
vived, and there is growing belief here that
it will be carried ont.

be condemned with roar of Indignation from
the Bay of EuRdy to the Golden Gate, from
the Great Lakes to the Florida Keys. It
must be distinctly understood on every side
that the act appointing the Electoral Comrnis-
S on was an act to settle the difficulty about

Ms. II. V. REDFIELD, in an able letter to
the Cincinnati Commercial, discusses the fu-
ture prospects of the two parties. He reiter-
ates the opinions which he has expressed be-
fore, that the Democratic party once in power
viii be inclined to stay there for some time.
He says:
"if Tilden gets N, the South, with her 1888
votes, in 1880 will be as solid as a mountain
of flint, and as difficult to handle. With all
the power and patronage of the Federal Gov
ernment at their hands, the Republicans have
b; en- overthrOwn in all the Southern States
but two. And how long will the SO called
Packard Government in Louisiana, or the So
called Chamberlain Government in South
tial chair ? Not longer than the period given
for refreshments at railroad eating house
say twenty minutes. Indeed, Republicans
FROM those States do not even indulge in the
hope that their party can stand the racket un-
der 1ilden. They propose TO let all holds
co. and submit to the inevitable with as
much grace as the melancholy shortness of
time will allow"
Mr.. Redfield has no expectation of division
in the Southern Democracy with Tilden as
President. On this point be gives the follow
ing emphatic opinion:
'EBut is the South TO be certainly solid if
Tilden goes in? 1 see no other chance. If
any one does, let him speak out and give
specifications. The blacks in the Cotton
States, as political power of service to the
Republicans, will amount to no more than
blades of grass. There is no such voting ma
terisl elsewhere on earth, and the surprise is
that any one should have supposed that these
simple, obedient, tiuid, docile people could
stand out against the united front of their
masters. Their enfranchisement and conse-
quent enlargement of the political power Of
the South was clear case of suicide, or at
tempted suicide, by the Republican party 1t
has given bully a bludgeon to knock out its
brains.''

in his calculations, the average illness
of mankind Is not alarming till the age
Of severity is reached, and as there are
very few who obtain the biblical span

The Democrats and The Gems
mission. a t si

mission. .a e-t st
Shrewd Democrats at Washington are
alarmed and provoked at the behavior Of their
more feather Drained brethren. The Com
mission has only begun its work, and already
it is assailed with shower of abuse. 1t is
denounced as partisan and dishonest. It is
accused of unfair action and dishonorable me-
tives. The Democratic members of il are ex-
horted to come out OF the company of the
rogues and cheats who constitute the majority
of this ''infamous Returning Board" and to
transfer the questions at issue to some other
tribunal where the Democracy will have a
better chance of victory. MIR. Proctor Knott
has gone so far as to propose to quarrel with
the Commission by resolution of the House of
Representatives and to call upon it for an ex-
planation of its conduct Nowhere do we
find among those followers of MIR. Tilden to
party any indication of a readiness to submit
to the due course of law and bear their defeat
with the temper OF good citizens. The tone
of the average Democrat to-day is violent;
more than that, it is revolutionary, because,
not content with denouncing, it threatens to
repudate the Commission, to break it up, to
plunge the nation into fresh contest and ex :
pose us, it may be, to the danger of double
Inauguration and disputed succession.
The wiser leaders at the capital may well
feel chagrin at these disclosures of Democratic
madness. For the country will not tolerate
any interference with the orderly operation Of
the plan deliberately adopted by both parties
for the counting of the votes. While that
plan was under discussion many of US opposed
it, because we believed it to be uucoastitu-
tional and unwise. The Tribune condemned
it to the last, although the feeling of the
country, as we well knew, was very strong in
its favor. But when it became law, then
/, opposition should have stopped. AS we de-
clared when Mr.. Tilden was supposed to have
been elected, in the early days of November,
that good citizens had then only to accept the
result of the ballJts and give the new Execu.
tive whatever support he might deserve, &c
we declared when the Compromise bill passed
that however we might dsapprove it our duty
was to respect it as the law aud abide honest
ly by whatever fortune it might bring to eth
er political party. That view agrees with The
fixed resolve of the whole country. Befer,
the Commission got to work Republican
everywhere pledged themselves to accept it
decision as absolutely final.
The people will hold the Democrats strictl,
to the same rule. 1t was Mr.. Tildens part,
rather than the other which forced the com
promise upon Congress, and dictated the dan
geroiis departure from our ancient precedents
aud if now Mr.. Tilden's friends rebel agains
tie arbitrators of their own choice, and repr
diate bargain of their own suggesting b
