Mr.. Higgins, of Baltimore, has
matured the provisions Of his bill for
a constitutional amendment, to be
submitted to the votes of the people.
remodeling the judiciary ofthe State.
This measure proposes a return to
the one-judge system for the circuit
courts, which, it is said, will be a
-aving of about $1,000 for each cir
cult, and about $780, 900 in She whole
State. The amendment, if adopted
by the people, will leeislate out of
office all the judges now on the.
bench, including the Court of Ap-
peals, the intention being to reduce
the term of office from fifteen year,
to ten years ; to substitute an indie
pendent Court of Appeals consisting
of five judges instead Of eight, seven
of whom have circuit duty to per-
form. Constitutional amendments
which require three-fifths vote OF
all the members elected to the Legis-
lature cam be submitted to the vote
of the people only at the next general
election after the action of the Legis.

Mr.. HENDRICKS ON SILVER Mon
EY-EX Gov. Hendricks. of In
diana has written letter in reply to
Mr.. Belmont's letter in relation to
the silver question, in which he says
ne thinks that silver money should
be restored. He says the pledge of
1869 of payment in coin, and the as
surance in the act of 1870 of payment
in coin at the then standard value,
would seem to authorize, almost to
require it. Compliance with the
contract cannot be II breach of public
faith. Our country is large pros
ducer of silver. The quality oflnpney
is important to its value. Mr.. Hend-
ricks thinks that when restored,
silver will approach and perhal g
reach gold in value; but should ex-
perence prove that it must remain
below gold because of its greater
production, Congress has ample
powers to provide against any evil
likely to follow.

The following simple RENE ly fo Il
disease that has in many cases proved
fearfully fatal, can be readily tried,
and we therefore present it to our
readers. The Huntington Mirror.
from whose columns we copy, says
that it has personal knowledge of the
cure of several severe cases from this
remedy: ut is simply to put some
pure tar on plate and apply hot
Goals to it, not hot enough, however,
to create Il blaze. Then place IA fun.
mel upside down over the tar and let
the patient inhale the fumes arising
from the burning tar through the
spout of the tunnel. 1t will give in
slant relief, and may be repeated us
often as may be necessary. Tar spread
on piece of cloth and applied to the
throat in connection with the inhal-
ing process is also good, much better
than old fitch and liniments. 1t
should not be removed until the
throat is relieved Of all soreness"

REVOLUTION IN TURKEY.-A
ConstantinopIe january q letter to
the Philadelphia Press gives an in
teresting account of the distributed
condition of that city. the apprehen-
sions of revolution, and the new
departure of the Turkish woman.
This last affords food for reflection
for the woman's rights women who
have been lately clamoring for their
rights at Washington. The particle
patton of Turkish woman in the care
of the wounded is one of the strange
things that has come to pass in this
war. For the first time in the his
tory of the country they have ADAM
d0ned their habits of seclusiOn,
shaken off their preiudiceS against
association with GiaOurS, and are
rendering good service as nurses,
cooks and attendants in the hospitals.
The English volunteer lady nurses
and the French Sisters of Charity
praise their willing disposition and
natural intelligence. So even in
Turkey there seems to- be tie begin
ming of a new era for woman, and
possibly it may end in their getting
many other rights, such as voting,
and fighting, being made members
of Parliament, Sultans and Pashas,
nothing short OF which would con-
tent the women's rights women of
the United States.

Complaints have been general all
over the State about the excessive
high prices of these books sold, but
the people have been compelled to-
submit to- these extortionate rates, or
do without books for their children,
as under the manipulatiOns of this
ring, no one is allowed to come into
competition with them on their sale.
If a country merchant desires to pur-
chase these books to supply the
wants of his customers, and he ap.
plies to the publishers for whole

will sell him these books, he is asked
a price identically similar to that at

SCHOOL RIGHTs.-The Supreme
Court of Illinois has lately decided
the question Of how far parents may
be allowed to prescribe the course of
study pursued by their children in
public schools in way rather at
variance with common usage. A
child in Lake View was refused adj
mission to the high school because it
was his parents wish that he should
not study grammar. The Supreme
Court, before which the matter final
ly came, has ordered the school au-
thorities to admit the child, basing
its decision on tire ground that
parents have right to select the
studies their children shall follow, so
long as this does not interfere with
the prescribed system of instruction
or with the interests of the other
pupils. 1t is justly remarked that
the great trouble, of course, will be
in deciding the scope of the condi-
tions in any particular case.
