rons the necessity OF prompt and reg

The question Of Teaching the higher
branches in the public schools, SO far
as it can be settled by a njSi prius
court, was settled by Judge Wick
ham yesterday, i'll the case Of Henry
E. Roach against the School Board.
Mr.. Roach, as a taxpayer, objected
to having anything but the common
English branches taught in the public
schools, and asked the court for an
Injunction restraining the board from
golng outside those limits. The
board through its attorney fled q de-
murcr to this application on the ground
that no sufficient cause of action was
shown Judge Wickham held that
the court had no jurisdiction of the
matter aud that the only restraining
power was vested in the legislature,
He therefore sustained the demurrer.
Tie case will undoubtedly be taken
to the superior courts.-St. Louis

A Western Diana.

Five miles from Eureka, Kansas. lives
prosperous farmer named Robert Low,
who is engaged raising sheep. His s'boys
are all GIRLS" and one of his daughters,
Mary Belle 10y, barely fourteen years of
age, is the -, shepherdess, whose rosy
cheeks, sun burnt face and graceful form
as she mounts her pony would excite the
envy of many city bellies, and charm the
eye Of ,connoisseur in search of a sensi-
tive rose to complete the latest work of
his easel. =
One day in July, while looking after
her woody wards, she discovered full
grown wolf Of the coyote species, and an
uncommonly large one, stealthily ap-
preaching, the flock, when she out her
horse to speed, and the wolf feeling that
his sanitary condition in that locality was
very unsatisfactory, the race and chase
commenced over hills and prairie, neither
showing any indication of fatigue, until
finally he was compelled to consider him
self "run down." Gl-e4 ,s., ,ft.-.....-..
Now came the "tug of war;" and any
one who has ever seen coyote at bay

ton against dozen dogs, can realize
her situation as a aggressor. /. Nothing
daunted however, she unbucklcd her
bridle-rein, and with the ring at the end,
and this only, made good her, position as
mistress Of the situation, and, without
alighting from her saddle, she had soon

Thon she started out for, the nearest

another girl, who mounted another pony,
and armed only with dull knife, these
two young girls were soon galloping over

sented to the proper officer.
When they returned, the principal of

At this juncture he was again invited to
remain, while one girl threw him down

minister Western Justice by searching for

instances Of feminine bravery as this are
rarely met with even on the frontier.

Wanteda Patent for a Chalk Mark.

The Washington. correspondent of the
Hartford Times writes: Several days ago
an application reached the patent Office
from T. T. Strong and Kate M. Strong
of Talladego, Ala, for a patent for an ant
guard. The petition, which was a very
funny one, set forth, that the Strongs, who
are man and wife, had jointly put their
heads together and had invented the
most wonderful thing ever heard of, to
wit, an art guard which they went on
to describe atsgreat length. They claim
ed that it was gpatentable, AS it was new
and; useful, two. things thatsare necessary
to secure a patent. The guard consisted
of drawing q chalk-mark around q table
or other place, by which it was claimed
the approach of ants was stopped. Mr..
Strong sWears it is true, thatiai1 ant can
not walk oyera chalk-line, and all that
is necessary to keep ants away from any
thing is to draw a chalk-line around it.
1t appears that chalk makes an ants legs
slip up, Tas soaping track prevents a
engine from starting. The petition was
novel, and caused considerable fun. At
last the commissioner Of patents looked
over the precedents and directed his law
clerk to write decision refusing the APP
plicatio'lna on the ground that there was
nothing new in the invention claimed,
that chalk had been used for such pur-
poses heretofore, and winding up with
the general statement that such ideas are
not patentable. This decision was sent
to the Strong family, but it failed to sat-
isfy them. They. had made up their
minds that there was millions in their
invention, and they did not intend to be

BOlshazzar.
Translated from Heine
The midnight honr was drawing on;
flushed into rest lay Babylon.
Az save the royal palace, where
was the din of revel, and torches flare.
There high within his royal hall
Belshazzar the King held festival.
His mobiles around him in spiendor shine.
ana dram down goblets of sparkling wine.
The mobiles shout and the goblets ring;
Twas sweet to hear of thai stiff necked Kinp.
The cheeks of the King, theyfushed with fire
And still as he drank his conceit grew higher;
And maddened with pride, his lips let fall
Wild words, that blaspheme the crest Lord Of
ALL -.
More yaunting he grew, and his blasphemous
1 sneers 49,.
We're hailed by his lordly rout with cheers.
Proudly the King has a mandate passed
Away HE the slaves, and come back full fast.
Many gold vessels they bring with them,
The spoils of Gods House in Jerusalem.
With impious hand the King caught up,
Filled to the brim, q sacred cup;
And down to the bottom he drained it dry,
And aloud with his mouth afoam did cry
Jehovah! II scott at Thy greatness gone!
I am the King Of Babylon
The terrible words were ringing still,
When the King at his heart felt a secret chill
The laughter ceased, the lords held their
breath,
And all through the hall it was still as death.
And see, see there! on the white wall, see,
Comes forth what seems a mans hand to bel
And it wrote and wrote in letters of flame,
On the white wall-then vanished the way it
'2 came. &s5
The King sat staring, he could not speak,
His knees knocked together, death pale was
his cheek.
With cold fear creeping his lords sat round,
They sat dumb-stricken, with never sound,
The Magsians came, but no one of them all
Could interpret the writing upon the wall.
That self-same night-his soul God slain!-
Was Belshazzar the King by his mobiles slain.
