.saa Our brief notice Of school legisla 10
hes made us the happy recipient OF the
following note from the author OF tn.
"Entrekin Bill" +es g=7ss ~
DEARSIR-Your paper with article
marked on "SchoOl Book BilP' receiv-
ed. In reply I would suggest, lst-
That your article shows that you never

q some time been connected with tht
schools as a principal or superinten-
dent and consequently are predudiced&
2 nnon the sublt CT. 3d-That II would
he hetter to see the bill before you con
tiemn IL. Truly yours,
JOHN C. ENTREKIN.
T#The orthography OF this word in-
dieafes how well qualified the author
of this bill il to legislate fer the benefit
of the school interests OF the Stale.
First suggestion as aforesaid shows
how much an eminent law-giver may
he mistaken. We did read his bill; at
first entire, afterwards. by sections, and
then expressed our candid opinion as
70 its merits. But, I'd, may be we are
.predudIced' from having at some
3 time been connected with the schools,
&c. Maybe, among the indiscretions
of our early life, we taught school q
little. That would lie a serious charge,
and a man is not bound to crimtnate
himself. We do confess, however, that
we have conversed with number OF
school men, members of County Board
of Examiners, and SuperintendeDts,
and they united In cOndemning this
bill as great, threatening evil. Bu
here again the sad objection meets US
these men being engaged in the work,
and therefore knowing about this mat
ter of the means they daily work with,
are q redudiced.' The same kind OF
logic will render Incompetent q law
6 yer,s testimony about matters. OF
inurts; physicians about iherapue
tirs aud medical text books, and rule
out the .preduiiced' tseaIo sian's opin-
ions on commentaries and churches.
Acting on suggestion 81, we have
re-read the bill. and still believe in our
= former opinion. that it would be very
bad thing to pass into law, With its
s great risks as to the kind of grist the
commission would grind, its opening
the door to unlimited jobbery. Would
great publishing houses sleep while this
matter Is progressing? Its expense;
what Is days work In the authors
,rsie?--sn at what rate Is the army
of agents employed by the multitude

FoR once Coroner's jury has render
ed an intelligent, manly and fearles:
verdict. We refer to that so long sit.
ting on the Ashtabula disaster. II
charges the origin of the disaster di.
rectly upon the ,nisconstruction Of the
bridge, with the following fercible ac-
compartments:
4. That the railway company used,
and continued to use, the bridge for
about eleven years, during all of which
time careful inspection by compe-
tent bridge engineer could not have
failed to discover all these defects. For
the neglect of such careful. inspection
the Railroad Company alone is respon-
sible. -. -e1-
5. That the resp )nsibility. of this
fearful disaster and its consequent loss
oflife, rests upon the railroad company,
which by its chief executive Office plan
ned and erected this bridge.
6. That the car. in which said de-
ceased passengers were carried into the
said chasm were not heated by heating
apparatus so constructed that the fire
in it would be Immediately extinguish-
ed whenever the cars are thrown from
the track and overturned. That the
failure to comply with the plain pro.
visions Of the law places the response
hiIity of the origin OF the fire upon the
Railroad Company. (See act of Maya,

Ohio senatorial Contest.

COLUMBUS, March 13.-The forces
here in the interest of the candidates
for Senator have increased materially.
and thronged the legislative halls all
day. A letter was received from Ben
Wade to-day saying he neither sought
nor would he accept a nomination.
Matthews and Taft are still considered
the leading candidates. with Rowland,
OF Ashtabula, as good third.
GEN. GARFIELD has Withdrawn
from the Senatorial contest in this
State, at the request Of President
Hayes, who desires him to remain In
the House of Representatives. The
New York Tribune In referring to the
action of the General, says it is good
news that Gen. Garfield has decided, at
the Presidents request, to remain In
the House and to forego the brilliant
prize OF the Senatorship almost within
his grasp. While there will be in the
new House some able Republicans who
were not in the old, there will be noae
who could supply Gen. Garfield's place
if he should be removed. The Senate
cxa take care of itself, but the narrow
margin between the parties in the
House makes a strong leader indispen-
sable to Republicans His exertions
alone might effect great and vital
changes.

How TO oSLEEP.-Various have been the
methods adopted for courting "balmy
sleep" by afflicted humanity, none Of
which have proven satisfactory. Who
Is 1t that has not lain for hours counting
black sheep jumping fence till he has
reached the millions, or hundred back
wards till his head would swim, vainly
endeavoring to win the ''sweet restorer." !"
The question has received the attention
OF scientific physician who suggests
that it is only necessary to breathe very
slowly and quietly for few minutes to
secure refreshing sleep. He thinks that
most cases depend on hyper@mia of the
brain, and that in this slow breathing
this is lessened sufficiently to make an
impression. Certainly, when the mind
is uncontrollably active, and preventing
sleep, we have ascertained from patients,
whose observation was worth trusting,
that the breathing was quick and short,
and they have found they became more
disposed to sleep by breathing slowly
rms supports the Doctors practice, but
put at other times his plans quite failed.
1t is certainly worth any ones while.
who is occasionally sleepless, to give it a
trial.

QUICK WORK.-The citizens of Carr
rollton, Mo-, have been employed in as
certaining in how short time wheat
can be taken from the field and put
down in bread on the table. The NIL
ers' Journal prints a letter signed by
the judges, county officials, editors and
other citizens of Carrollton, asserting
the truth of the following experiment
which they watched with watches in
hand. The statement is as fOllows:-
"The undersigned citizens of CarrOllton
and vicinity certify that at trial made
this day for the purpose of ascertaining
the time in which bread could be made
from wheat taken in the field standing,
the following time was made by J. f.
Lawton, proprietor of the mill. Com
menced cutting with reaper at 3:01 p. m.;
finished cutting, 3:O2; began threshing
at 1902; finished one bushel at 3:O34.-
Commenced grinding at 3:04&; finished
at 3:06a. Mrs. Lawton began making
bread at sos; finished at 3:0sa. Griddle
cake baked at 3:099, and biscuit baked
and eaten at 3:12; the whole accom-
plished in II minutes. The reaper,
thresher and the mill were thoroughly
cleaned out before the trial commenced,
and not particle of flour was used that
did not come from the wheat cut in the
above trial. The witnesses kept sepa-
rate time, and in the result all time
agreed"

SULPHUR FOR SCARLET FEVER DIR.
Henry Pigeon writes to the London

SULPHUR FOR SCARLET FEVER DIR.
Henry Pigeon writes to the London
Lancet as follows:
1.-THE marvellous success which has
attended nay treatment of scarlet fever
by sulphur induces me to let my medi-
cal brethren know of my plan, so
that they may be allowed to apply
the same remedy without delay. All
the cases in which 1 used it were well
marked, and the epidermis on the arms
in each case came away like the skin of
snake. The:.following was the exact
treatment in each case: Thoroughly
anOint the patient twice daily with sui
phur ointment; give five or ten grains
of sulphur in little jam three times a
day. Sufficient sulphur was burned
twice daily ION Goals on shovel, to fill
the rooms with the fumes, and, of course,
was thoroughly inhaled by the patient.
Under this mode of treatment each case
improved Immediately, and none were
over eight days in making q complete
recovery, and l firmly believe in each
it was prevented from spreading by the
treatment adopted. One case was in a
large school. Having had large expe-
rience in scarlet fever last year and this,
feel some confidence in my own judg-
ment, and am of opinion that the very
mildest cases ever saw do not do half
so well as bad cases do by the sulphur
treatment, and as far as I can Judge,
sulphur is as near a specific for scarlet
fever as possible"
