WAKING UP.-By an Ordinance
which appears on our last page this
week, it will be seen that our corporate
authorities are at last taking steps to
have our streets, etc., put in repair and
duly cared for. This ought to and
might have been done months and
months ago. But better late than
never" The City Fathers" deserve
credit for now preparing to make
thorough work of it. They will be sus-
taiued and applsuded by all good cit
liens.

ALL A MIsrAKE.-We mean the no.
ton that as good -four cannot be made
from Texas wheat as any other. This
is being demonstrated at FourquIesn 9
Mill. One Of the new millers, who has
followed his business in large number
of States, informs us that Texas wheat
is as good as any. and that the only
trouble about making it into the best
of -four ia lack of the proper machi-
merry or skill for that purpose.

Sel.to Conkling'S Position.

Friends of Senator Conkling denv
that he cOntemplates calling upon
President Hayes with reference to
the latters Southern policy. They
say that in so far as the result Of that
policy has failed to bring about in
the South reign Of peace and quiet,
the Senator believes implicitly with
the President that the South has not
returned in kind the generous treat
ment it has received. The Senator
is said to hold that, SO far as the
Southern policy of the President is
concerned, he cannot now undo what
he has done, if he even so desires {;
that his Southern policy exhausted
itself, so far as it could be called a
policy, when the President gave
South Carolina and Louisiana the
benefit of home rule, but that the
President is now beginning to realize
what leaders in the party from the
very beginning apprehended, that
the South in consideration of the
boon Of home rule will not admins
ter the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
amendments to the Constitution in
the spirit in which the trainers of
those articles intended they should be
administered ; that all the harm tn It
the Republican party sustained in its
divisions over the wisdom of the
Presidents policy has been felt to the
utter most, and that the very fact that
the President is not satisfied with
the result of his dealing with the
South is the best evidence that the
party can readily be reunited on the
basis that the laws of the country
must be enforced and the c0nstitu-
tional amendment which apply to the
freedom not only be accepted, but
likewise honestly interpreted VAST

Wheeling for protection from the In
dians. He remembered WetseI, the
famous Indian fighter, whose opera,
tions, were in that section. Once
when the settlers were alarmed by
the approach of the savages, and on
their way to the fort, Mr.. Dixon says
he remembers seeing a lady take
from the ashes "hoe cake" Fort
Wheeling was subsequently captured
and destroyed, from which historical
date Mr.. Dixon's age is partially
computed. The Indian depredations
drove the family back to their old
settlement where they again started
to the far West. When in the vicin-
ity of Deer Park, they halted and
settled for the time. Here Joseph
was married. After the birth. of
several children, he moved into the

shire county, Va, where remain

eight miles east of Cumberland,
ABOUT, 3 O'Clock Sunday morning. 1t
appears that the conductor having

Of the Pittsburg sleeper, and was in
the latter car Wnen the fire was dis
covered. There were thirty five pas
sengers, but none were injured. Some
of them lost everything they had
with them except what was on their
persons. AS soon us the fire was dis
covered the train was stopped and
the burning car cut from the other
portion Of the train. The passengers
who occupied the burning sleeper
were supplied with clothing by the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany through their agent at Cum

which the fire originated was in the
exclusive charge of the employees of
the Pullman Car Company.

case Of New Orleans, there is no
doubt but that it was carried from
New Orleans to every other point.
The disease does not seem to be
prevented from prevailing epidemi-
cally either by distance from the
seaboard or distance above the sea
level, as under favorable circumstan-
ces for its dissemination it might
prevail in any part of the United
States. Heretofore. seaboard quar-
antines, as far as the Gulf of Mexico
is concerned, and making exceptions
this year in the case of Texas, have
been inadequate to prevent the in
PRODUCTION of the disease. The diff
culties of inland quarantine are so
many and so great in cases of towns
on the Mississippi river, or in cases
OF towns having extensive railroad
connections, as to be almost practi-
cally impossible. With this view of
the facts the commission are of the
opinion that the only reasonable pro
lection to keep yellow fever from
this country is system of strict ma
tiOnal guarantees.

The RIGHT OF A TEACHER To
CORRECT A CHILD.-At Newburg,
n. Y, the suit of Master Thomas b.
Ashton, a boy of ten years, who sued
bt his guardian, against Miss Cathar
inc E. Lloyd, public school teacher,
was tried last week. Miss Lloyd
whipped the boy, and the suit was
for $1,000 damages claim much
above the estimation of the jury,
which returned a verdict of no cause
of action. In his charge to the jury
Judge Barnard pointed out the rules
and limitations which are to be con-
sidered in such a case. He said:
"There was no question about the
right of teacher 10 restrain and
properly correct a child. The parents
have the right to control their chill
dren as long as they do not OVerstep
certain bounds, and when they take
them to school they delegate to the
teacher that same power of restraint
and correction they possess under the
law. The teacher, of course, is not
to go beyond certain limits any more
than the parents. If Miss Lloyd eX-
ceeded her power she was guilty, and
must compensate the lad in hard
money. The question whether she
exceeded her power was the Only one
for the jury to consider"
