Paris In The Morning.

It is an interesting sight to take a seat
on the top of a street car at an early
hour in the morning and witness the
cleaning process that every thing is un-
peTgoing. The hOUsekeepers bring out
all their rubbish and pile it up in the
street, one pile for every four or five
houses. 1t is no sooner emptied than
the rag-piCkeTs, who swarm the streets
with their bags and buckets and hand
carts, pounce upon it and gather up all
the fragments of paper, rags, or metal to
be found in the piles. They are so nu-
meTous that there is a scramble on every
street, and they move from pile to pile
as if their lives depended on their ac-
tivity. They seem to take away one
third of the rubbish. Servants are
everywhere to be seen with broom and
bucket in hand cleaning off the fronts.
The streets are being sprinkIed with
hose, and an army Of men and women
with birch bTooms are sweeping the
streets. On the bOulevards horse brush
ing machines are in melton, and the
garbage carts are removing the piles
thrown out by the housekeepers. Water
is turned on III all the cutters, and
women with broOms are engaged wash
ing them down. Men with hose are
watering all the roots Of all the hum
dreds Of thousands of trees on the bOule-
wards, and taking up the gratings so as
to loosen the earth around them. All,
or nearly all, this work is being done by
the city authorities, and by nine o'clock
the city is as clean as broom and brush
and Ystsr can make it.

Ohio Public Printing.

We are indebted to W. W. Bond,
Supervisor of State Printing, for
his annual report for the year end
ing Nov. Is, 1878. It shows that
the total amount expended for print
ing during the year was 32,88O54,
and for binding, S22, 2,262,42-total
$50, 1926, to which must be added
the cost of paper, S4O,768 rs, max
ing the total cost Of public printing,
S95,91L72. This does not include
the Sd volume of the Geological Re
port, which cost S27, ,3SI58. Vol 4
Of the Geological Report, on ZooIo-
gy and Botany, IS now in press. The
Geological Atlas of Ohio, now in
course of publication, under a con
tract with julius Bien, of New York,
will cost s1O,895 40 for 5000 copies.
All the binding for the State is
now done at the State bindery, in
the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, a large
proportion of the work being done
by deaf mutes. A small weekly pa
per, called the "NIutes' Chronicle, ="
is also printed in the Asylum, the
work on which is mostly done by
the pupils. The total expenses of
the printing department for the year
were S2,149.95, of which $1,000 was
for salary of superintendent.
The present system Of executing
the State printing and binding shows
a large saving over the former sys-
tenn of appointing a State printer,
which prevailed under the old Con
stitution. The printing and paper
contracts are now let to the lowest
bidder, and the binding is done in
the State bindery, as already stated.
0Ir. Bond recommends that the
issuing of all paper for State work
be hereafter placed under the con-
troll of the Supervisor; also that the
duties of proof reading, preparing
side notes and making an index Of
the laws, be transferred to the Sec
retary Of State.
Mr.. Bond has held the office Of
Supervisor the past two years, and
has peri rmed its duties faithfully.
His successor, Mr.. Elliott, who has
just been appointed by Gov Bishop
will do well if he is able to show as
clean a record at the close of his
official term.

That Letter.

We know there are a felo, and we
we hope there are many, who can
understand that a man may advo-
cate a principle without being per
sonally interested, and who believe
that there are still a few men who
will advocate the right for its own
sake. But the best of men often
make mistakes, and we never laid any
claims to infallibility; 50, if, in our
letter to the Probate Judge, you
think we we're advocating the wrong,
we ask you to consider US honest
and under charity, or commiseration,
ifneed be, but we feel that we do not
deserve your censUre,

What is the Matter With Our Grade
Schools

What is the Matter With Our Graded
Schools
DIR. Andrews, of Marietta, has
written on the waste of time in our
common schools, (see o. Ed. Month
ly for Feb } and we thought to give
a few facts. LongfeBow graduated
at Bowdoin at eighteen o. W.
Holmes at Harvard, at twenty, J.
Russell Lowell at the same college,
at nineteen, and his.older brother,
Robert T. S. Lowell, from the same,
at seventeen. So we might go on
and give a long list of distinguished
men who received their degrees be-
fore they were twenty years of age.
For this reason we never recon-
mended our Union Schools to out
siders. It is a waste Of time and
money to attend them when we
have so many colleges where the
student has something to do, and
does it.
Some people have strange ideas of
thoroughness. They seem to con
slider the mind kind of an intellect
ual stomach, which cannot digest
its food unless thoroughly ground.
They thus make an unpalatable pow
der of food, which taken in a more
crude state, would act as a relish,
and sharpen the mental appetite

WAsnlEoroN. D. Q. Ami 4. 1879.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 4, 1879.
The speech of Mr.. Robeson, of n.
J., yesterday, was one of the most
notable of the present debate. It
was characteristic in its novelty, fer
the speaker took view of the con
trOversy thatnobody appeared to have
thought of before. 1t is not military
domination, he said, that the Demo
Gratis are grasping for, but cigjl pow
er; it is not the military arm that they
are afraid of, but the civil authority
of the Government, backed by the
right to call in the aid of the troops
to enforce civil laws, the same as all
citizens are liable to be called upon
to form a posse comjtatu5 for the en-
forcement of the laws by n civil
officer. The army cannot now be
used to oppress the citizen As an
army, it cannot actat all, near places
of elections or anywhere else, but
the Democrats object to its use as

WHOLE NO. 2239.

Ten years ago a Piute boy of twelve
years was captured by General Crook
west of Stein Mountain, Nevada. he
saw the dead bodies Of his chieftaiH
father and Of his mother lying near the
wigwam and it was with a heavy heart
that he went to work in a San Francisco
store when taken thither. Nevertheless
he learned the English tongue, adopted
san Francisco manners, became a
scholar and Joined hands with the peace
making brethren Of the church. Not
long since General Mcdowell told him
to 90 among the Indians and counsel
them to bury the tOmahawk. He visited
the warriors of Chief NatChez and there
found both father and mother, who had
feigned death and thus escaped the
soldiers.

1t is rather singular that Americana
are the only civilized people who habit.
ually chew tobacco, although sailors of
nearly every nation are addicted to its
masCIcatiOn. 1t is singular, too, that we,
probably, employ tobacco N other ways
less than other countries. Snufhng is
rather rare here, common as it is in
Europe, especially on the continent
We do not smoke any more, if as much
as, the English; and the French, Ital-
ians. notably tho Germans, Dutch and
Spaniards exceed us in smoking. But
as tObaCcO-eaters we occupy the field
alone, having, it is to be regretted, a
monopoly of one of the most' 'unwhole-
some and obnoxious of practices. The
national mastirqtiOn and expectOratiOn
are known over the world, and do am
pie service in all conceptions and Carica-
lures of Brother Jonathan. To see a
landsman chewing tobacco anywhere
abroad is to know him for an American,
native or adopted. Perhaps we stick to
the worst of the three customs because
tobacco is to so large an extent an
American plant. Europe knew nothing
of it until the discovery by Columbus of
the Western world. The sailors he sent
ashore at Cuba found the natives smOk-
ing, and, seeing them emit smoke from
their nostrils, imagined them to be on
fire. ALI the natives from the northwest
coast of Patagonia used tobacco, and
to chew it is one of our inalienable
and aboriginal rights.

an aid to the civil power, because it
is potent to enforce the laws which
they do not want enforced. This
view Of the case rather astonished
some Of the Northern Democrats,
who want it to appear that the object
Of the Republicans is to preserve mill
tary despotism, as they call it, and
that Of the Democrats to restore
civil authority.
There can be no mistake about it
what the Democrats fear is civil au-
thority, and the bugaboo of the
'troOps at the polls" is a mere pre-
tense. Following the able speeches
Of Garfield, Frye and BeIford, this
speech Of Robson will have a grand
effect. All these speeches should be
read by every man in the land, and
| it is probable that the Republican
Congressional Committee will take
measures to send them broadcast.
They ought to be sent in connection
with the fire eating harangues Of
Chalmers, Blackburn, and other ram
pant rebels, who have done even
more for the exposure of their own
nefarious designs than the Republi-
cans could do.
In fact, all the Confederate Brga-
diers in the Senate and House an
nounce grandiIoquently that they
have come to take their o10n-the
power which was wrenched from
them in 1861. They remind us fore
IDLY of the ante-war days, when loyal
men were insulted by Secession
braggarts, and threatened with an
initiation if they did not bend the
knee. Fortunately the Republicans
are united and earnest in resisting
the new method of rebellion, and al
though the Brigadiers threaten, it is
probable that they viii yet have to
surrender or suffer defeat.
Several important meetings were
held here last night, to take into
consideration the new COlored Emf
grafton movement, resulting from
the proposal of Senator Window.
Thousands of letters have been re-
ceived from all parts of the South,
asking for aid and advice in this
movement, and it was thought best
to organize in some way, to direct
the emigration so that it should not
fail of good through lack Of intelli-
gence. Senator Window is doing
all he can to promote the interests
of the colored people in their efforts
to improve their condition, and at
his suggestion a National Committee
has been formed, composed of emi |
nent citizens selected from all the /
States, to promote the object. There
are signs that the Confederate Dem
ocrats are getting frightened at the
of the movement.
The appointment, Of D. T. Corbin
to be Chief Justice Of Utah, is tar
dy act of justice to a deserving man.
He ought to have been appointed
U. S. Attorney for South Carolina,
where be has stood up nObly for Re
publican principles at the risk Of his
life and fortune.
Speaker Randall viii probably re-
port his Committees some time next
week. It is unsafe to predict when,
since he has postponed the day sew
eral times in order to prevent his
untamable colleagues from rushing
into general Legislation, as they are
expected to do as soon as the or
ganization is completed.

The Nan who Nerer Smiles.

Governor Rice was asked to pardon
one O'DOnell, Of AIilbuTy, from Charles
town, and a gentleman who recently
visited the state prison thus tells his
story: Gentlemen" said the warden,
l want to bring before YOU one of the
most remarkable cases we have in prison.
We call him the man who never smiles,
and I wish before he comes in TO tell
YOU his story. He seems to be a man Of
more than ordinary ability, one Of the
better class of substantial, frugal Irish
citizens. who owned a small place IN
manufacturing village, where he re-
sided with his family of grown up sons
and daughters, all permanently en-
ploved and IN comfortable circumstances.
The old man had tine garden on which
he bestowed his leisure hours, in part
of which was a fine lot Of Cabbages. IJ
seems that the boys in the neighbOThOOd
had habit of trespassIng on the old
mans Garden, until he had determined
of getting rid of them by firing his gun
10 frighten them away. One night hear
ing some one in his garden, he took
down his gun, and, getting behind the
hedge, fired into the garden, as he
claims, without aim, or seeing anyone
to aim at, but the report Of the gun
alarmed the neighbors, who, on rush
ing into the garden, found the hfeless
body of a young girl shot through the
heart. Tie old man, when told what
he had done was struck dumb. He was
arrested and sentenced to impusOn-
ment for life. He has now been here
for ten years, and his face has become
as marble; there is no hope; nothing
but the remembrance of that dreadful
night. In Ireland they have a supersl-
ton among the young girls that VINO
ever on Halloween shall place cab
bage over the door viii marry the first
young man that enters the door after
wards. And this, it was proved, was the
errand Of the young girl in the old mans
garden. But instead of q wedding she
found a grave"
