The Dickey-Tytus breach OF promise suit
promises to be as endless in Its complications
as the lton-Beecher scandal. The latest
development In suit. against Spencer Il
Craig, publishers, and two men named Reed
and Harkrader, who are about to publish a
sensational history OF the Dickey-Tytus trial,
praying for an injunction forbdding the pub
IicatIon Of the book, and for damages in the
sum Of $4,000. Miss Dickey charges that
Reed and Harkrader are engaged In the
preparation Of such work, filled with indie
cent pictures illustrating her alleged conduct
with Tytus preceding and during the trial,
and that the purpose Of the publication Is to
degrade herself and child, and prejudice the
trial OF the suit now pending for bastardy.
A libel suit Is also pending against Hal
stead, of the Cincinnati Commercial, growing
out Of the same affair, and In the meanwhile
the attorneys OF Tytus have applied for new
trial In the breach Of promise case In which
there was judgment against him for $4,000.
Altogether the affair promises to become in
tercsting to quite number OF people. and the
Cincinnati newspapers will have something
thrilling TO fall back on in case England and
Prussia conclude not to fight.

Chicago and st. Louis have lately discov
cred new advantage in public schools.
These It seems, are not designed solely to
educate children, but are intended for their
physical and bodily Improvement and devel-
opment as we'll. The question just now under
excited discussion In these two cities Is:
Shall the kindergartens or schools for infant
children, to whom even the alphabet presents
ineuperable difficulties, be abolished or not p
The school funds of these cities show lament
able falling off; it is evident that some reduc-
tions must be made. and this reduction must
/ be either in the high schools or kindergar
tens. The school board of Chicago was
disposed at first to favor the former, but when
their decision was announced it caused so
much ill-feeling that the board thought it
wise to review their action and take the mat
ter again under consideration.
1t Is argued, on behalf of the infant schools,
that the high schools are unnecessary and
Unconstitutional, the constitution guarantee
ing to give every child a common school"
education, and nothing more; but the chief
argument in favor of continuing the infant
schools is that they save annually the lives
OF tens of thousands Of children. The infant
children OF the poorer classes. whose parents
are compelled to work out during the day,
are left at home in a miserable condition In a
crowded, f9tid and unhealthy atmosphere,
with no one to look after them, care for or see
to them. They fall from windows, are burnt
up In firee run over by milk carts, and deci-
mated In hundred different ways; scarlet
fever, measles and whooping cough carry
them off by thousands, and the seeds OF
consumption are implanted in them by the
atmosphere they breathe. When. therefore,
the public schools were thrown open to the
smallest toddling infants in Chicago and st.
Louis, and these were kept in healthier at
mosphere and under the care and supervision
sOf teachers, the infant mortality OF these
cities decreased perceptihly, and it was evil
dent that, whether these children learned
ANYTHING or not thousands OF lives were
saved by the infant schools. This fact,
which is undenied, will probably carry the
day Ia this school question, and it Is more
than probable, therefore. that the school
boards of St. Louis and Chicago will finally
decide upon abolishing the high schools in
stead Of the infant schools.

A. T. STEWARDS WORKING WOMEN's
HOME,

The New York Herald gives the particulars
of the opening Of the A. T. Stewart hotel for
working women, together with the rules es-
tablished for Its management. There are five
hundred well appointed bedrooms in the es-
tahishment a number of private parlors, sew
eral public reception rooms, and large IL
brary for the use Of the boarders. The price
Of board and lodging, two In room, Is Sc
per week, and 81 when woman has a room to
herself. For baths there is an extra charge Of
ten cents, and washing Is charged for at
fifty cents dozen. These prices, as the Her
aid observes, may be adapted to one class, if
not to another but the class they will suit
will not be the working girls, sewing women
and the like, for whom Stewart, doubtless, in
tended it, very few of whom get so much as So
q week. 1t will, perhaps, suit another class
of women who earn more, and may lead to
the establishment by some benefactor Of
similar hotel on q less costly and luxurious
scale for the poorer women, who are the peo-
pie really in need OF some such asylum.
The regulations, however, appear to us
to be 50 strict, and in some instances
uselessly 50, that the place would be anything
else than homelike and comfortable No one
is admitted without testimonials as to char
acter, where employed and at what wages. and
any lodger may be put cut on notice, with or
without cause. No sewing machine or extra
furniture, nor pet animals OF any kind, are
permitted in the house. The regulation for
bidding sewing machines Is specially objected
to by the working women. The theory of the
establishment, however, Is that it is not for
women who work at home, but for shop and
sewing girls who are employed out by the
day. The noise of the machines would dis
turb those who wished to be quiet. A
great many seem to regard the
house as q money-making esta blish-
ment and not merely self-sustaning be-
nevolence, as it was intended to be by its pro-
jector. It is very certain that at Sc a week
apiece, very elegant entertainment can be
given to thousand women Ii the establish
ment is meant to be purely sustaining. The
very best Of lodging and board can be OBJ
tanned in New Orleans much less New York
at $50 month for married couple, and ex-
cellent plain boarding can be had in the most
respectable houses for man and wife for $50,
which is precisely the charge made at this
establishment for two persons. In this re-
spect, then, it is plain that the design OF Mr.
Stewart has not been carried out.

Ogden and the Supreme Court In this par
ticular case Is simply this: Attorney Cen
eral Ogden quoted the general principle
OF law laid down by Chief Justice
Parker and applied 1t under the con-
stitution and laws of Louisiana, which
certainly ought to govern In the prose-
cutlon Of violations Of the laws Of Louisiana,
to a case arising under these laws,
while the Supreme Court Of Louisiana has
quoted the principle of law laid down by
Parker, and his application Of 1t under the
constitution and lars Of Massachusetts.
ANY reader of ordinary intelligence, lawyer
or layman, who peruses the decision of Par
ker, will understand at glance that he is
interpreting the law under constitution
which empowers "the court" to take cogni-
zance Of facts and hear evidence to sub
stantiate facts The constitution of Louis
lana; upon the other hand, expressly re-
stricts the Supreme Court of this State in
criminal matters to questions Of hu. Any
citizen who desires to be convinced OF
this fact need only refer to article "A OF the
State constitution defining the jurisdiction
OF the Supreme Court In civil and criminal
cases. The constitution of Massachusetts, we
assume from Parker's decision is different
from ours. The Chief Justice Of that State
one Of the most eminent of American jurists,
laid down, 80 far as he was quoted by Attor-
ney General Ogden, sound law for Louisiana
as well as for Massachusetts. His authority
with us goes no further than the general
principle he laid down, applicable alike to
all peoples and all States, and we are aston
ished and astOunded that the Supreme Court
Of Louisiana, In its eagerness to release
great and Infamous criminal, has quoted that
part of his law applicable only under the con-
stitution of Massachusetts.
We desired to say something this morning
relative to the garblng of the Attorney Gen
erals brief by the court, but this article is
SO long that we defer that until tomorrow.

mistaken Kindness.

Those amlable peop.e who are never
SO happy as when doing service to man
or beast, may sometimes err through
want OF judgement. For instance, the
old man in this story:
There is an old getleman that comes
into town on foot every morning, who
appears to be great friend to dumb an
imals. Whenever he sees dog scratch
ing at the shop-door to be let in he
promptly opens it for the animal. The
other morning he made mistake in the
dog business. He let one In, and soon
the same canine came rushing between
his legs, nearly throwing him down, and
covering the lower part Of his trousers
with paint.
A man with overalls on was chasing
the dog, trying to get at him with
paint-brush he had in his hand. The old
gentleman expostulated with the irate
painter-for such he proved to be-say-
ing:
MY good man, why do you wish to
hurt that dog2"
Because he has tipped over my paint
and made an awful mess OF everythingl
Some IDIOT let him into the shop when we
were all trying to keep him out while I
was doing some painting. He jumped
through the door stuck his fore legs inio
the paint-pot, and tipped it over. Brown

Discovery of North America.

A New York paper says: A Wall
street broker laid wager the other day
that Christopher Columbus discovered the
continent Of North America, and, of
course, lost it. 1t is surprising how
many intelligent persons entertain the
same error. Knowing that he discovered
a number OF islands in the Western hem
isphere, they think that he must of nee
essity have discovered this continent also.
They forget that he died in ignorance of
the grandeur of his achievement, beliey-
ing Cuba, Terra Firma, and the other
lands he had found to be remote parts of
Asia. Amerigo Vespucci, alter whom
North and South America is named, did
not discover this continent proper either.
The lana he discovered lay near the eaua-
tor, and he. too, was deluded with the no.
ton that it was portion OF Asia. John
CABOT was the discoverer Of North Amer
lea (some time in May, 149D, which he
likewise supposed to belong to the do
minions of the Grand Cham. He sailed
along the coast for 800 leagues, and went
ashore, without finding any human being,
though he believed the country inhabited.
1t is remarkable that the three great
discoverers of the Western world should
all have been Italians: Columbus having
been born in Genoa, Vespucci in Flor
ence, and Cabot, presumably, in Venice.
The birth of Cabot is uncertain, as are
his age and the place and time of his
death. But the fact that the licence
granted him by Henry VII. calls him
kabotto, Venetian, would seem to de-
termine the question of his nativity. The
dlscoverers had sorry fortune. Colum-

Says the San Francisco Golden Ern.
Those who knew John Phoenix nieuten-
ant Derby)-knew him as we iid-wiu
be glad to read the following striking
anecdote, so characteristic of his noble
nature. All who knew Derby viii re-
member that there. was nothing abont
him or his humor resembling those sour.
dlscontented, practical jokers so naturally
and justly tabooed in society. Good
nature and good fellowship he cherished;
and beyond these, save in the way of
harmless mirth, he never swerved. It
was not in him. His power of face was
something wonderful, and this is suf-
ticlently attested by the anecdote.
He was sitting one evening in the guests
lollingg- room of the old Oriental Hotel.
when little beggar girl came in, and
with the keen discernment of little peo-
pie IN general, noticed his child-loying
benevolent countence, and approached
him, asking aims. She was very Young,
lnnocent-lcoking. and had none of the
juvenile whine of pe1sistency of most
young medicants whom one meets in the
streets and in the halls of our public
hotels.
Phoenix at once assumed a mournful
expression of face, and began to talk, as
1t were, eonhdentlally and affectionately
to her. He told her that his father was
long since dead, and that he was now
left entirely alone in the world; that he
was then but little boy, with nobody to
look to, and often had not known where
to sleep at night.
The little girls blue eyes began to
melsten; the lolling guests, most of whom
knew Lieutenant Derby, gathered around,
when what was their surprise to see the
sympathetic begggar-child go close up to
HIM, and, In quiet confidential way
take out of the inside pocket of her soil
ed and tattered frock all the money
which she had gathered through the day,
and place it in his hand. 1t is needless
to say that the tender hearted and
courageous little donor of her hard days
earnings had not only her small yet great
benefaction restored, but went away with
great possessions, educed from the
pockets of the sympathetic bvstanders.
