TBoUBLE.-One day this week wo-
man made complaint that she WAS preg-
naut aud that her condition was owing
to illicit commerce with her divorced
husband. She requested the district
attorney to brins an action against her
former liege lord for rape. He informed
her that under The circumstances rs re-
lated by her, she could not sustain the
charge. She then wanted an action
brought for bastardy and finally for
seduction. This couple were divorced
some time ago. but lived together after
the marriage bond was dissolved, the
man paying the divorsed wife q per diem
for services as houseIeeper. Lately the
man married another woman, and this
brought matters to crisis.

despair Of winning the affections OF a

BEHIND THE BARS.

Yesterday, Sheriff Pierce without pro-
| cess or show of legal authority took us
from our secluded Office and spirited us
away behind his magnificent team. 1t
was the first time we We're behind the
iron bars in the Manitowoc jail and we
could not fail to notice the many needed
improvements made by the sheriff both
in matters of cleanliness and security.
The bars on the windows have been en-
cased in cross bars. Those are further
secured by bolts passing through The
solid window frame and secured by nuts
and then riveted. This renders escape
Impossible without assistance from the
outside. 4 fiue has been put IN for ven
tilating purposes, which allows pure
current of.air to pass through the halls
ct all times, and removes every particle
Of stencil which might result from a
number of persons being confined IN
these narrow quarters. The brick floor
in the hall he's been covered with a coat
OF cement and the walls and ceilings
have been whitewashad. The cots baye
been supplied with new clothing and the
jail is made to present neat and health
ful appearance. All these Improvements
have been made at comparatively
trifiing expe use, and the transformation
is really something to be wondered at.
| The sheriff has carried his house cleaning
and improvements into the court room.
| The portion of the floor heretofore bare
| has been covered with mating; the
stairway leading to the jury room has
been removed and the opening closed
mp. Hereafter the judge will have no
necessity of sending an officer to a
wrangling jury with the message; keep
little more quiet, gentlemen" The
court room has also been whitewashed
and many other minor improvements
made which add considerably to the
/ general appearance of the whole.
The sheriff had his doubts as to the
propriety of making these improvements
prior to the meeting of the board. But
he felt as if humanity required something
to be done to better the condition o. the
persons confined. We feel satisfied
when the board sees the change for the
better made in these dismal quarters,
they will say that three times the cost
would be well expended to produce the
results. The jail is now absolutely com
Portable and the sheriff is deserving OF
credit for his promptness in bringing
about the needed change.

Carl MARAzEK was discharged on
Saturday last, the testimony given not
being deemed sufficient to justify his
being held for trial. Joseph Spatecek
was also liberated on a nolie entered by
the district attorney. The testimony
given in the examination of the Marazeks
showed that Spatecek could not be held.
While everybody is satisfied that the two
discharged are by no means guiltless,
still it is impossible to so implioato them
in the murder as to secure conviction in
the event OF a trial. +.
/ The blow given by Carl Marazell was
Of itself sufficient to cause death. It
fractured the posterior OF the old man S
skull from ear to ear. The blows which
the murdered man received on the face,
none of the witnesses can account for.
The quarrel cid not last long and the
four persons engaged were so mixed up
that those present are unable to tell who
besides Carl, if any, struck the old man.
John Spatecek was liberated some time
ago. All are now at liberty but Carl,
and the state has made ont strong case
against him, and there can be 40 doubt
OF his conviction. His trial will come on
at the June term Of the circuit court.

OK Saturday Henry Hullison, when
near Spring Creek, noticed an object "
ing on the track. He did not whistle
down brakes" Immediately, but seeing
that the object die not move, concluded
TO stop lie was unable to bring The en-
CINE to standstill until the pilot had
struck the object and showed it off the
track. Improved to be man who, being
drunk, had lain on the track, crosswise
on enc Of the rails. He was not at al
injared, the pilot simply having aroasel
him from his slumber. Some of the
train men addressed him in terms that
were hardly complimentary, but neither
their anger nor the danger through which
he lad passed could disturb his equa
nimity. He picked himself up and said
IS he left: 'sYou fellows make as big a
fuss over 1T as If il were & drove Of COWS
you ran into" Engineer Hullisdn says
the follow would be killed surely but that
the pilot was very low.

The SENTINEL is issued later this week
than usual. This delay has been caused in
consequence of the majority of our regular
force being detained at Baltimore by the suit
ofthe Atlantic and Virginia Fertilizing Com
pany against the proprietor of this paper a
longer time than was expected. After this un-
avoidable circumstance being made known,
we hope no blame will be attached to us for
the delay of the issuance by our patrons.

PubIio Education zinc snbiec, 81 the

Public EducatiOn.-Thes subject of the
mode of education in our public schools APP
pears not only to be engaging the attention
of careful, thinking persons in this State,
but also throughout the country. While
we do not pretend to give advice in this i'm
portant matter to those who make life-study
of it, we daily see evidences of the baneful
effects of learning by the "parrot" system,
and often see in the manuscript of those who
have attended not only our common schools,
but our academies and colleges, evidences of
total neglect of the rudiments of common
English education.
Mr.. Charles Francis Adams, Jr., has lately
published an account of a successful expert
ment made in Quincy, Mass, in the direc-
ton of improving the system of ordinary
common school teaching. The school COM
mittee having undertaken real and thor
ough, instead of the old formal examination
of the schools, found the results of the in
struction altogether unsatisfactory The pu-
pills had a plenty of knowledge acquired by
rote, but they were wofully ignorant outside
of that, and unable TO apply what they had
learned.
For instance, they could parse and con-
strue sentences without fault, and repeat the
rules of grammar like the multiplication Ia
Bile, but they could neither write with facili-
ty nor read fuently. They were unable to
write correctly an ordinary letter. The COM
mittee, therefore, set to work to reform the
whole system, and its first step was to reduce
the number Of studies, and to teach them
that the pupils should be able to use the
knowledge they acquired. After five years
working, the new plan has accomplished re-
suits which crafty both the teachers and
parents, and the youngsters are becoming
fond of going TO school.
In criticising our public schools we have
called attention to the same evils here which
have been remedied at Quincy. The dis
covery made there regarding the inability
of the scholars to write with correctness and
propriety, though they had grammatical
rules at their fingers ends and could parse
skillfully, is not surprising. A boy may
know his grammar by heart, and yet speak
and write in violation of its rules, because
the people about him speak improperly, and
he is not taught to express himself in writ
ing. A comparatively small percentage of
college graduates, even know how to use
language to good purpose.
