THE danger in attending funerals O.
persons who have died from contagious
diseases, such as diphtheria, scarlet te.
yer, etc., is beginning to attract atten
tion and provoke remonstrance from the
health authorities of the large cities. A
writer in the N. Y. Evening Mail speaks
of the matter and animadverts with Sc
verify upon the carelessness of the rel
AtiVes of deceased persons who have
died from these diseases, dangerous al
most as smallpox, and calls upon the
Board of Health to Interfere Tor the pro.
lection of the public ii the community
will not exercise necessary caution in
the matter without such interference
Funerals Of persons who have died Of
diphtheria and scsrlatina, like those who
have fallen a victim to smallpox, ought
TO be strictly private, and houses where
such. diseases prevail, should be pretty
s,rietly quarantlned. The sooner the
community makes up its mind to this
fact and acts accordingly, the better for
all parties concerned.

JUDGE 2, b. LAWRENCE, who was Sc.
lected by the Republican caucus of the
Illinois Legislature as a candidate for
United States Senator when it became
evident that Logan could not be elected,
is Chicago lawyer, and has never been
in any sense politician. His selection
is in accordance with the spirit of the
times, which calls for new men and de-
mands that the old party hacks should
take back seats. Aldge Lawrence is
said by his associates to be a man
of fine legal education and a
speaker of great ability and force,
AS Judge OF the Supreme
Court he rendered decision declaring
certain clauses in the Granger Railroad
law of the State unconstitutional. This
decision, although supported by the best
legal talent of the State, brought upon
him the enmity OF the Changers, and
was made a point against him when he
was candidate for reelection. In fact
his opponent declared his opinion to the
contrary during the contest, and the
election was really fought on that issue
alone. Lawrence was defeated, but
bis manly and statesmanlike course
in the canvass gave him great strength
afterwards, even with the men who op
posed him, and he is regarded as one o
The purest men in the State. He will
probably be elected to-day unless the
Changers, who are now in session il
Springfield, renew their old fight anc
succeed in defeating him.

Another Reform Demand ed.

10 the Editor Oh tne star:
The Grand Jury, in the final report
which was published in the STAR Jan
uary 10, says, "that thirty-one cases
were ignored, being offenses OF the mos
trivial character and all within the
Jurisdiction of the Police Court, where
tney ought to have been taken and
finally disposed OF, thus saving the
county unnecessary exDense.'"
Now, this recommendation OF the
Grand Jury must be based upon one O.
two suppositions, namely: That the
Jurisdiction OF the Police Court is cock
tenslve with County, or that there is nc
crime in the County outside of the cor.
porate limits Of Clncinnatl; for it sug-
to the "Police Court"
Both OF these suppositions are errone-
Gus. The jurisdiction OF the "Police
CourW is confined to the City Of Cincin-
natl, and is in fact the "Citl's Criminal
Court;" and, in the second place,
there are innumeraUIe petty Grim.
inal offenses committed outside
of the city limits, which
come within the criminal jurisdiction OF
Justices of the Peace, but which, in
consequence OF the defects in our Grim.
inal code, 20 unpunished; and it is to
such cases that we now call the atten.
tion OF the Grand Jury, aud all those
who desire more efficient admnistra.

Consider for moment the practica

He pleads mot guilty." A preliminary
examination is gone through with, an0

What is the consequence? In ninety

upon the county; the prosecuting wit
ness gets no satisfaction; the Justice OF
the peace is virtually converted into al
instrument for promoting crime, in.
stead OF being the chosen Instrument o
the law to suppress it,; his Court turned
into farce;. while peaceful and law.
abiding ciLiZens are left absolutely with.
out protection. .......
Such state of things calls loudly
for reform. The Criminal laws should
be SO amended as 10 give just. ces of the
Peace, under certain limitations, final
jurisdiction i'll all petty otfenses

THE NERVE OF A MISSOURI GIRL.-A
young gIri but eighteen years of age,
says Ihe Osceola MOI Democrat, whose
name we Withhold, owing to u desire on
the part of the actors to keep the affair
secret, was sitting in the darkened
kitchen with her Detrothed in The wee
hours Of the night, when starting for the
fireplace i'll order to replenish the fuel,
her foot struck what she supposed was
piece OF rope, and STOPPING to pick it
up, she received the Venomous tangs OF
a large rattlesnake in her thumb. To
ordinary individuals this would be the
signal Tor a fainting fit, but not SO in the
present case. The girl simply turned
the light up, and asked her "young man"
to kill tie reptile, and seizing large
case -kuite she severed the bitten thumb
from the hand, thus preventing The dead
ly poison from getting into her system,
aud probably causing her death. The
snake measured lour leet and two inches
iii length. None but the two actors
knew anything of the affair until the
next morning. The bitten thumb grew
blacker, unLII it was as black as piece
of coal. The wounded stump is fast
bealing up, and il it had not been for the
bravery and presence of mind OF the girl
she would have long ere This been a
corpse, rotting in the grave. Such pres
ence Of mind is very rarely seen III tue
