Sewing schools.

Syracuse journal.
Social science finds no more hopeful
field than the training of children from
the poorer ranks of life. In their hands
will rest many of the great interests of
our country in the years to come. The
education of such youth to be useful and
industrious as well as intelligent citizens,
is responsibility which weighs on all
alike. Without settling the vexed ques-
ton of the extent to which industrial ed
ucation should be supported at public
expense, there remains no doubt that a
groundwork of useful knowledge, such
as each child has a right from the State,
may include some discipline of the hands
as we'll as the head. With this convic-
ton our Board of Education takes this
winter an initiatory step by opening the
] public school buildings for free instruc
tions in sewing, under the direction oil
the Ladies' Employment Society. Wheth
er another season sewing may be made
part of the school course, as has beer
/ done at small expense elsewhere, will de

more narrow Gauge Information.
Springfield Republic.

Springfield Republic.
While the people to the west of us in
this and the adjoining counties are alive
on the question of an extension for their
benefit of the narrow gauge system CEN
tering here, practical work is pro-
crossing as we'll and rapidly as possible
with such unfavorable weather as we
have had for a month prevailing. There
has been but little stoppage of grad
ing, which now approaches completion,
but track laying and ballasting has been
much retarded, although taking new
start in the last few days of good weather.
The track layers are now working in
both directions, from Washington c. H.
toward Greenfield and Bainbridge and
from Waverly westwardly. It is only
question of weather as to the time they
will meet. Next week two more Iocomo-
tives will arrive here, making six in all
on the road, and viii be used in ballast
ing. An important item is the extension
of the road from Jackson to Wellston,
some distance northeast of that point, for
which the work is now under way,
large amount of grading having been fin
ished. The S., J. & P. now has no better
friends and well wishers than the people
of Jackson county. The matter of the
Pomeroy extension is just now quiet; but
will come up practically in due time.
At this end of the line negotiations are
pending for transfer connections with the
c., S. & c. railroad, and a day or two
since managers of both roads were over
the ground east of the city, together, in
consultation. Eventually, when the mar
row gauge is completed and in full oper-
alton trains will run to the Union passen-
ger depot, in the center of town, arrange
ments having been made to that effect. A
round house will be built at York street
soon, and the location of repair shops, etc.,
here may be regarded as a fixed fact,
which will be consummated during the
year. The building of telegraph line is
now under consideration as part of the
equipment of a first-class, modern rail-
road.
Regarding the western extension, the
movement recently begun at Troy and
New Carlisle has attracted attention in
Dayton, the people of which city are
treated to the following vigorous stirring
up,'' by the Journal of Wednesday:
''There is a growing feeling along the
line of the projected Coyington Narrow
Gauge that Dayton is not sufficiently in
terested in the project to take part in it.
Springfield is decidedly anxious, and the
merchants of that city are taking steps to
bring the road there. The Saltwater Val
ley, along which the road is to run, is one
of the most f1ourishing in the State, and
if the trade of that section is of particu-
lar importance to Dayton merchants, they
will have to maintain watch or it will
be lost to them. The subscription
along the line has been made up at all
points, and that of Dayton only is want
ing. Fifty thousand dollars is the appor-
tionment for the city, which is not large
when Milton and other places of its size
have contributed $4,000, It is proposed
to hold meeting to take action on this
subject Saturday night at the City Hall. y

The Spring Elections.

The following article, taken from the
voter in the county, and the advice con-
tained in it needed by all:
ssThe annual election for city and town
ship officers will be held on Monday,
April lst. The Importance of these cleo
tions is too little considered by citizens
generally, and the consequence is, that
they have become so much neglected as to
make it in many cases a difficult matter
even to find proper men to fill the differ
ent offices.
FeThis is all wrong, for these local offices
affecting as they do the nearest, we may
say, the domestic interests of the people,
are really of more importance to them
and their individual welfare than the
higher offices of the State. Therefore, in
making your nominations be sure and se-
lect intelligent, capable and honest men
for the several offices. The local elections
are home matters. They interest every
citizen far more than do the concerns oil
the nation and State, and none should
therefore stay away from the polls under

Mrs. Abraham Lincoln.
New York Sfar.

New York Star. y
1t is sad fact that Mrs Abraham Linz
coin, the widow of the late President Lin
coin, is living a secluded life in an inte-
rior town in France, and declines to re-
turn to America lest she may again be
placed in lunatie asylum. 1t is said that
in France she still indulges, to moder-
ate extent, in her propensity for buying
things for which she has no use, and f1ll-
ing closets with articles wholly unneees-
sary.
1t will be remembered that in 1875, Mrs.
Loncoln's son commenced proceedings in
the Chicago courts to have his mother adj
judged insane, in view of her reckless
expenditures, and her many acts ineon-
sistent with sanity, and to have person
appointed to take care of her property
The court, after hearing the evidence,
pronounced her insane, and appointed
trustee to manage her estate. About $780,
900 in Government bonds was found on
her person. After the decision was made
by the Court, she left her room, at the
Grand Pacific Hotel, and endeavored to
procure laudanum at a neighboring drug
store, but received only a harmless drug,
and was prevented from committing sui
eide. They next day she was conveyed
to private asylum in Northern Illinois,
and after few months was placed in
care of her sister at Springfield, from
whence she sought quiet retreat in
France. The loss of her husband bore
heavily on her; but the blow which
wrecked her mind was the shaft Of death
that fell upon her loved boy 'sFred. !"
There is but little hope OF her recovery.

A Tramp who belonged to the FRA
Iermity.

Cape Ann Advertiser.
A noted tramp, who has been in every
State in the Union, was before the Court
recently and was sentenced to the lookup,
whittier he was conducted by Officer Bar
rett. 1t has been rumored that these old
tramps are members of a regularly organ
lied society, and have general under
standing with each other. The City Mar
shall was in his office when this tramp
appeared, and having heard of this tramp
society and read something of its ritual,
thought he would examine the old fellow.
The following singular dialogue was the
result, proving that he had caught full
fiedged member of the tramp society:
Most noble and venerable tramp, from
whence came you?'
From town in New York called New
Jerusalem.
what came you here to do?'
TO learn to subdue my appetite and
sponge my living by my Wits
Are you regular tramp?'
SO taken and accepted by my brethren
and known wherever I go.'
when were you made a tramp?'
AT a regular lodge of tramps, some
times called the lodge of the vast wilder
ness
How am l to recognize you as tramp p
BY offering me good square meal, so
that [ need tramp no further, and by
keeping on providing the meals, ad 1t6t-
tum.'
How do you know yourself to be a
tramp?'
by seeking food, being often tried and
often denied, and ready and willing to
try again
How gained you admittance to. this
city?'
By long and oft-repeated tramps.'
How were you received?'
BY a brother tramp at the depot door,
armed with the proper implements of his
office-rum and tobacco-who cautioned
me against a wicked Instrument called a
billy which is used sometimes to break
heads WITH
How did your friend dispose of you?'
He gave me some liquid from his bot
tie, then took me several times around the
city, into the saloons of the south and the
west and the east. Then the officer in
terviewed me-
What did the officer do with your
He took me to the lookup, thence to
the court, where great many questions
were asked by the judge
What did the Judge do with you?'
He taught me the way to the lookup in
the east and advised me to walk in an up
right regular step and tramp no more.
will you be off or from?'
with your permission I'll be off,
mighty quick
(Which way are you traveling?'
From the East to the West
Why do you leave the East to travel to
to the West?'
In search of work, which 1 hope by
my own endeavors, and the assistance OF
others, shall never ffnd.'
My friend, you are now at an institu-
tion where the wicked are always trouble
some and the weary are as bad as the rest
Work being the object of your search
| you will now be conducted to the middle
chamber, by flight of winding stairs
consisting of five or more. Instead of corr
wine and oil, the wages of the ancients
yours will be bread and water. Wher
you get out again take bee line for Sa
lem or Rockport, where they run fre'
soup-houses the year round. Now (point
ing to Hutchings, the turnkey follow
your conductor and fear no danger, 70
your trampings are over until tomorrow
