ties composing the First Judicial Circuit
met in the court house, and were called to
order By W. W. Barr Esq, chairman OF

tons present, suggest the name of one
delegate, as their counties are called by
the secretary, to serve on each Of the com
mites on permanent organization, on

A curious list might be made of the
strange methods employed in transmit.
ting many important historical mes.
sages. The intelligence which enabled
Cyrus to overthrow the Median mon
archy was conveyed in the body Of a
hare sent him as present. The instj-
gator of the Ionian revolt against Persia
sent his agent a trusty slave, with verbal
orders to shave his head, when the ne
cessary instructions appeared traced on
the skin beneath. During Mohsmmed's
wars letters Of this kind were frequently
plated in the long hair of female slaves.
The medaval fashion of writing in ink
which only became visible when held
to the fire is we'll known; but Cardinal
Richelieu surpassed even this by his de-
vice of dispatch whose alternate lines
made an entirely different sense from
that of the letter as a whole. One of
the French chiefs of the Fronde war
concealed an important letter III roasted
craE. Warren Hastings, when block
AIDED in Benares by Cheyte Singh, ap-
prised the English army of his situa-
tion by dispatches written upon rolled
up slips of parchment, which his mes
sengers carried in their ears, instead of
the quilts usually worn there. The let
ter which recalled Gen. Kaufman to the
relief of Samarcand, when besieged by
the Bokhariotes in June, 1868, was
stitched up in the sandal of a loyal ma
tive. 1t even stated-though the story
certainly savors of Munchausenism-
that French spy, in 1870, carried a
Photographic dispatch through the Ger
man lines in the hollow of one of his
false teeth

Kerosene for the Hair.

A Milwaukee correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune writes in praise of
common kerosene as hair restorer. He
says : The objection to using the oil in
its ordinary preparations is the odor.
It SO quickly evaporates, however, that
in half an hour all traces of it will dis
appear, and the most delicate sense of
smell will not be offended thereby.
Kerosene certainly will, if used perse-
veringly, start new hair on places which
for years have been as smooth as glass
globe, and when one has long since
given up all hope of another crop. Gray
hair it turns back to its original color,
as no hair-dye could ever make it, and
nothing used but kerosene. Use it
two or three times a week, rubbing it in
with the fingers, and wait patiently for
the result. In q few weeks you will
observe fuzz. which is the new hair
starting into life, and if the treatment
is kept up for few months you will
wish you had known of it long before,
and not been bald and gray for so
long. When look at my own head l
cannot realize that it is the same old
bald pate [ nave considered my own for
SO long, and am so delighted over its
renewed glories that / long for every
one to 90 and try for themselves, and
see If they too will not be happy in the
use of KEROSENE

Color In LaWn-PIanting.

Mr.. Samuel Parsons makes the follow
ing suggestions in paper on "Lawn-
Planting for Small Places, in Scri6ner:
As rule, also, never plant large, dark
evergreen in front of, and very near, a
brilliant, light-colored, deciduous tree,
for thus planted it will dwarf and weak
en- the effect of the latter. On some
lawns, however, a few massive, dark
evergreens may be used with effect in
the extreme, and, if possible, northwest
corner of the lot. They will protect and
give character to the place, and heighten
the effect of the deciduous trees. A
striking contrast may be obtained by
interspersing a few white birches among,
and in front of, these evergreens. They
will serve, in this case, to brighten the
picture both winter and summer; though
usually we prefer not to mix evergreen
and deciduous trees. This harmonious
and contrasting disposition of color re-
quires careful study, and even perhaps
a natural gift. For instance, it is better
to introduce gay, bright colors in we'll
judged proportions. A few bright flow
ers of deep red, blue or yellow, will
have a better effect dispersed here and
there about the lawns than in one great
mass. Introduce them. so that by means
of their different natures there will be
always during the season a few gay
points in the picture.

leaned on the back of his chair for sup.
port.
"Then you were not lost in the
TempestP" said he.
Wrecked, but not lost" said David.
When calmnes5 was in some measure
restored, they all sat down, and David
told the story of his disappearance.
"When l left the watchmaker's 8, P"
said he, 81 chanced to meet an old
friend, and we strolled together down
to the wharf to see what was going on.
The first person we saw there was my
old captain, who was just about to sail
for Liverpool. He was in great
trouble because his clerk was taken
sick at the last moment, and immedi-
! ately offered the position to me.
"It was first rate chance, and l
only hesitated because I could not
come home and say good-by; but then
it was short voyage, and was certain
of your consent, so intrusted the pack
age of money and letter to my friend,
who promised to deliver it that very
night.
81 think now that / was hasty. l
thought then that I was doing right.
We set sail. The Tempest" was
wrecked when ten days out; but I had
the good fortune to be picked up by yes.
sci bound for Australia. 1t was long be-
fore we reached our destination, and
when we did, 1 had nothing but the
clothes on my back.
81 thought the wisest thing to do was
to go to work and earn something. This
l did, and succeeded so well that / put
off my return from time to time far be-
yond my original intention. 1 wrote
whenever an opportunity offered, but it
seems no letter was ever received.
"The rest of the story must be told
by another, and there sits the only man
who can tell it," with nod at Tom Pen
hallow.
"Don't be too. hard on me-" said
Tom. 81 mean to deliver the package
safely when 1 took it; I did, on my soul
but l was busy that night, getting ready
to go to Boston, and thought it would
not make any great odds whether went
then or not. You often stayed away
over night, SO I thought they wouldn't
worry.
well, I hadn't all the money I want
ed to buy my stores, and 1 used some of
that; but I meant to replace it; but
man that was owing me did not pay, so
1 couldn't just then; and by-and-bye l
saw notice that the Tempest was
wrecked, and all aboard lost.
$50 said to myself, or Satan whis-
pered it in my ear, Who'll be the
wiser if I keep the money! The rest
you know, so where's the use of going
over it? I've played my game and
lost it, so there's the end"
Yes, Tom had played his game and
lost it-lost reputation, lost friends, lost
his promised bride; and in short time
he left Oldport Cor good, driven from
thence by the force of public sentiment.
As to Jessie, when David asked her il
she had kept the rose, she owned that
she had, and he assured her that he
had brought her back just what she re-
quested-himself. So it was bargain.
Didn't l tell you our David always
lit on his feet ?" said Faith. Ruth
Chesterfield.

The Chamber Over the Gate.

BT HENRY W. LoNGFKLLow.
Is it so far from thee
Thou.canst no longer see
In the chamber over the gate
That old man desolate,
Weeping and wailing sore
For his son, who is no more?
Oh Absalom, my son
Is it SO long ago
That cry Of human woe
From the walled city came,
Calling on his dear name,
That it has died away
In the distance Of to-day?
oh Absalom, my son
There is no far nor near,
There is neither there nor here,
There is Meth er soon nor late
In that chamber over the gate;
Nor any long ago
To that human cry Of woe
Oh Absalom, my sonl
From the ages that are past
The voice comes like blast,
Over seas that wreck and drown,
Over tumult of traffic and town,
And from ages yet to be
Come the echoes back to me-
Oh Absalom, my son
Somewhere at every hour
The watohman on the tower
Looks forth, and sees the feet
Approach Of the hurrying feet
OF messengers, that bear
The tidings of despair.
Oh Absalom, my son
He goes forth from the door,
Who shall return no more.
With him our Joy departs;
The light goes out in our hearts;
In the chamber over the gate
We sit disconsolate.
Oh Absalom, my son
That It's common grief
Bringeth but slight relief;
Ours is the bitterest loss,
Ours is the heavier cross;
And forever the cry will be
"Would Col had died for thee,
Oh Absalom, my son"

The genealogist Of. the Washington family
has appeared. He has printed book, and de-
tends his assertions against irreverent news
paper criticism. 1t appears from this volume
and its defence by the author that George
Washington Is descended from the Anakim, the
giants whom Joshua drove from Palestine, who
begat so and so, who in turn begat others, until
In the regular line Odin, the head Of the royal
race Of Denmark, was begotten, among whose
descendants was Earl Thorfuin, the founder OF
the Washington family In England. These
facts should become generally known. Though
plain George Washington may walt In vain for
a monument, we surely would not try the
patience OF a descendant OF royal Scandinavian
ancestry, a relative OF the great ROllo of Nor
mandy and William the Conqueror of England.

General Grants wen-balanced opinion on
the Chinese question reminds one of the re.
mark of the chameleon, In a poem familiar to
school boys. That sagacious animal Is quoted
as saying to two travellers who quarreled about
its color,
"tBut first the creature found a tongue,)
You both are right and both are wrong"
General Grants suggestion about demagogues
VIII be as pleasing to the anti Chinese, as his
remarks concerning the Coolie trade to the
Chinese themselves. But since the General is
only a private citizen of the republic, as he
himself has said it, and intends shortly, &C.
cording to the London Rail,cay Ne,cs. to become
the president Of the Atlantic and Great West
ern railway, it matters but little that he should
find tongue and speak the truth. If, how
ever, the story that the General aspires to rail-
road fame should be false, If it is a different
kind OF presidency which he has In mind, and
If the votes of the Pacific coast are of interest
to him In this connection, taciturnity would,
perhaps, have been the best policy.

The System of Cramming.

The allotment OF tasks to pupils OF our public
schools to be studied at home, and which re-
quireS the parents to assume the duties OF
teachers. has been subject of complaint for
some time and lately some vigorous protests
made In THE STAR against the practice, ELECTED
representations from the teachers OF their
side of the case, from which it appeared
that parents, children and teachers were
all the victims Of the system of over
tasking prescribed by the rules OF study. The
number of studies required is so enormous that
1t Is necessary not only to allot home tasks for
the pupils, but the time Of the teachers Is oc-
cupied, outside Of the school hours, to the
detriment OF their health, in the supervision of
the multitudinous exercises, papers, compost
lions, &c, Of the children. The facts showing
the nature and extent Of the evil were so con-
elusive that the school board took the matter
up promptly and appointed an efficient COM
mittee OF investigation. 1t Is proper to say
that the present school board is not re-
sponsfble for the system OF study, which
was adopted some years ago, and was
intended originally only as an experiment to be
revised as experience should show its defects.
The committee have entered upon their work
with an earnestneSS that promises good results.
AS foundation for their action they have very
properly sought the views OF the teachers and
supervising principals as to the practical de-
fects of the present course OF study and the
best mode of remedying them. In another part
OF the paper summary OF the opinions
OF the principals and nearly all the teachers Is
given. 1t will be seen that they fully sustain
the views expressed heretofore by THE STAR
as to the oppressively burdensome extent of
textbooks and tasks piled upon the pupils,
parents and teachers by the prescribed course
OF study. Not only are the studies too many,
but the textbooks In several instances are
beyond the comprehension of the grade
OF the children using them. 1t Is COM
planned, too, that the teachers are obliged
to take pupils In grade of classes for
which they are totally united and are held
responsible for their standing, and the whole
class Is unJustly marked for their failure
Other defects are pointed out and remedies
suggested, and no doubt the committee Will be
able from these recommendations and their
own observations to make satisfactory re-
vision Of the present Objectionable course of
study.
