The School Book Question

The school book bill before our last
Legislature is still being harped upon.
About twice a week the Madison
Journal gives its supposed virtues an
airing and about once month Super
intendent Soaring smothers it with a
circular. The Madison journal thinks
it has effected good through agitation,
in reducing the price of school books.
Perhaps it has. But had the bill suc-
ceeded We are in doubt whether the
peopIe would have been So benefited.
The Journal thinks the feeling ex-
cited by the agitation is "alInust uni
yerSally in favor of the principles OF
the bill" That is certainly mistake
when you got mile or two outside
of Madison, Mr.. Journal We have
yet TO meet with single individual
who expresses himself in its favor.
There was no "principle" in it, as we
can see, except the assumption that
the State has the right to say not on
ly what books our children shall study,
but may dictate TO them where they
shall buy. The chief and most valu.
able speciality of the bill as at first re-
ported was 10 give David Atwood Of
Madison the sole right to sprint, bind,
publish aud furnish all books
for the term of fifteen years" And

The Physical Benefit OF Sunday.

Any man who has worked hard
for number OF consecutive weeks
whether his work was physical 0.
mental, can testify to the truth Of
the following, to which our ntteu-
ton is directed by DR.. Falley:
Sunday is Gods special present &c
the workipg-man. and one Of its
chief objects is to prolong his life.
and preserve efficient his working
tone. II the vital system it works
like a compensation pound; it re-
plenishes the spirit, the elasticity
and vigor, which the last six days
have drained away, and supplies the
force which is to fill the six days
succeeding; and 10 tho economy OF
existence il answers the same pur-
pose as the economy Of income is
answered by savings bank. The
frugal man who puts away q pound
TO day, and another pound next
month, and who, in quiet way, is
putting by his stated pound from
time to time, when he grows old
and fraiI, gets not only his same
pound back again, out a good many
pounds beside. And the conscien-
tious man who husbands one day Of
his existence in the week-who, in.
stead of allowing Sunday to be tram
pied and torn in the hurry ana
scramble of life, treasures it up-the
Lord Of Sunday keeps it for him,
and in length Of days, tie hail Of
age, gives it Back with usury. The
saving bank of human existence IL

THE LAST SIEGE OF GIBRALTAR.-
The most memorable, in some re-
spects, of all tie fourteen sieges to
which Gibraltar has been subjected
was the last, called the Sgreat siege, y
one of the mighty struggles Of history,
which began In the year 1870. The
famous Gen. Elliott was commander
of the fortress. Spain, in alliance
with France and Morocco, endeavored
to surprise Gibraltar; but Swedish
ship gave Elliott the alarm. The gar.
rison comprised but five companies
of artillery. and the whole force was
less than five thousand five hundred
men. The enemy's force was fourteen
thousand. The siege began by the
blockading of the port, and a camp
was formed at San Rogue with the
design of starving out the garrison.
When the English Governor resolved
to open fire upon his besiegers, lady
in the garrison fred the first shot.
Never did siege war rage more
furiously than did this for about three
years. The garrison was often re-
duced to sore straits for food; Ga
goose was worth guinea and Eel.
lott tried upon himselt the expert
ment of living upon four ounces Of
rice day for week. Exciting
stories are told of the privateers that
ran in, amidst terrible dangers, with
provisions, and of the storms which
threw welcome wood and cork within
reach of the besieged. The rock at
one time would surely have been
taken had it not been for Admiral Rod
ney, who, sailing off the strait, cap
tured small fleet of Spanish war
ships and merchantmen, and clearing
the strait of besiegers, brought his
prizes into port But all danger was
not yet averted; Gibraltar was again
block AIDED; scurvy broke out in the
garrison, and Morocco refused her
harbers to English ships. The enemy
crept closer and closer to the fortress,
but relief coming every now and than
enabled the English still to hold out.
The commandments were fearful to
eHduTe' ne CITY was almost de-
stroyed; scarcely a house habitable,
and those LETT standing pierced by
shot and SHE'LL at one time the des-
perate garrison fell TO plundering the
town; Elliott shot tie leaders in this
outrage The long agony. full of ter
rife oombats and frishtful privations,
ended by the final abandonment Of
the siege early in 1888 II in that
year the English had to make up their
minds that they must let go their
American colonies, they had at least
the consolation that Gibraltar was
still theirs. GEO. NJ. TowLE, in Har-
per's Mdqdsine, tor June.

Fashions.
Taste in the small accessories of
the toilet is more cultivated, year by
year among our conntrymen. Ele-
CANT silk stockings, delicate, fanciful
bandkerchiefs and neckties, TO say
nothing of the extravagances under
tho namo OF lingerie, take g largo
share of fashionable woman's
spending money. Of course those
who have loss will not be satisfied
without at least approaching the lux
uries CT Others above them, EN-
broidered silk stockings are hardly
called for so much as the Isle thread
in shades TO match those of the
dress, light blue, rose color, lilac and
violet, the same being repeated in
stockings for children. Clicked
stockings are no longer in first taste
Handkercbiefs in lawn with fine,
thin silk borders almost as sheer, in
rose, sky blue and pale violet are
pretty, cheap and refined looking.
Smyrna lace has the same run that
cluny did ten years ago, and IS seen
every where, from the inner garment
of lady TO the parasol, and the col
lar about her neck. But it 10 no

gance with which children are now
dressed is startling. The writer saw

completely with the expensive silver
fox fur which adorned toilets Of the
highest cost last season Another
boy in violet velvet wore his coat

heavy point. 1t is possible that the
carnival shows and tableaux in which
children have been so conspicuous
lately have fostored this love OF
finery where it is hardly bess placed
IL looks very pretty to see boys and
girls dressed like the Court children

Superstition.

A panacea, or "cnre, all" is one of the
myths Of the age of superstition. Dr. r. Y.
Pierce does not recommend any one or even
his whole list of standard remedies as adequate
to cure every disease. For severe lingering
coughs bronchial, thront, and chronic lung
diseases, hebelicves his Golden Medical Dis
covery is unsurpassed, but it will not cure Yon
ifyour lungs arc half wasted By consumption.
The Discovery not only exel cises a potent in
huenee over pulmonary affections, by reason
of its peetoral properties, but possesses also
the most valuable Alternative, or blood cleans
ing properties, and is therefore sovereign

while il will cure scrofulous and other ulcers
or sores, bloches, pimples, and eruptions il

nThe report of the Railroad Com
missioners will put You in possession
of the necessary Information con-
corning the condition and operations

this It would appear that the whole
