English Women's Service on School
Boards.

The ladies-Miss Helen Taylor, Miss Fenw1ck-
Miller, Mrs. Westlake and Mrs Surr-who have
been for some years now on the london school
board, have done such service that many cleo
tors OF Chelsea propose to add another lady
thereto. The new candidate Is Mrs Augusta
Webster, wife Of an eminent barrister, and an
authoress of several literary works. When the
first school board was elected there was a good
deal of ambition felt by eminent men to belong
70 It. even Prof Huxley having undergone la
POROUS canvass. But he and Others found the
labors too arduous, and left the board; but the
ladies elected have stuck to it, made it the
great end OF their lives, attended all the meet
1ngs, and have been the means Of passing i'm
portant reforms. A school board without wo-
men would now be an anomaly quite out of the
question. In the last session of Parliament the
leader OF the House OF Commons, Sir stafford
NOrthcOte, said that after the cOuntry'S expert
ence of the way In which women had exercised
their right Of suffrage In municipal and school
board elections 1t could no longer be said that
the sex was untitled for the parliamentary
franchise, and that the government would now
adopt that measure, only because it would re-
quire more elaborate preparation than they
had opportunity TO give 1t. The services which
women are rendering to national education are
such as mus command the national gratitude
still mort, and are likely to lead to the general en-
reimbursement Of their SEX D. C0n,cay in

THIS MIN JONES.
From the Kok9n.o Tri6une;l

tFrOrn the KokoD10 Tyibu,ae.J
This man Jones was what you'd call
teller as he'd no sand at all:
Kind o. consumpted, and undersiZe,
And sailor completed, with big, sad eyes,
And kind Of, sort Ola hang dog style,
That kind o. give him away to us
As preacher, maybe, or somepin' wuss.
Didn't take with the gang? Well, no
But still We managed to use him. though
Coddin' the gilley along the route:
And drivin' the stakes that he pulled out;
For was one'of the bosses then,
And Of course stock in with the canvasmen-
An and In the way We put up Jobs you a, know,
Used to rattle him scandalous,
And keep the Teller a-dodgin' us,
And shyin' round 'jes skeered to death,
And Altered to whimper above his breath;
Give him c,lssin', and then kick,
And then a-kind- of "a back hand lick
Jes' for the fun of SEEM him climb
Around with head on half the time.
But what was the curioust thing to me,
Was along o. the party-let me see
Who was our Lion Queen last Year,
Mamzelle Zanty or De La Pierre?
Well, no matter, a stunnin mash,
With red ripe lip, and long eyelash,
And figure sch as the angels own
And one too many for this man Jones.
He'd always wake in the afternoon
AS the band waltzed in on the lion tune,
And thar. from the time that she'd go in
Till she'd back out of the cage agin',
He'd stand shaky and timber kneed-
Specially when she come to feed
The beasts raw meat with her naked hand"
And all that business, you understand.
And it wds resky in that den
For think she jugsled three cubs then,
And big green lion as used to smash
Collar-bones for old Frank Nash;
And reckon now she haint forgot
The afternoon old Nero sot
His paws on her-but, as for me.
It's a-sort of miXed-up mystery.
Kind-o' remember and awful roar,
And see her back for the bolted door
See the cage rock-heerd her call
God have rnercy!n and that was all
For thar haint no Hyin' man can tell
What's it's like when thousand yell
In female tones, and thousand more
Howl i'll bass till their threats is sore.
But the keeper said az he dragged her out,
They heerd some Teller laugh and shout:
- Save her. Quick! I've got the cuss!''
And yit she walked and smiled on as
and We darent finch, for the doctor said,
Seem as this man Jones was dead,
Better TO jes' not let her know
Nothin o that for week or so.

Bicycle knights I often spy,
On horse uncarnate riding by;
Nimbly they scale his vaulty back,
And spin along the travelled track.

Orb-libration's magic beating
In the tense and vibrant steel.

4 Live Tarantula In the Mail.

Major Dallas, Chief of the Dead-letter
Office, has had referred to him mass
of official correspondence concerning an
alleged violation of the postal regula-
tons by the Postmaster at Florence,
Arizona, in allowing live tarantula to
be mailed at that office. Itappears that
about month ago a California gentle
man placed the venomOus spider in a
tin yeast-can with punctured ends, and
inclosing letter, wrapped the whole in
paper wrapper and addressed it to a
female relative in San Rafael, California.
In addition to the address the wrapper
also contained the notation, caution,
live tarantula," and the letter directed
the recipient to open the box carefully
in consideration Of the animated object
within; also advising her if she should
get bitten, to "use ammonia and drink
lots of whisky The package attracted
the attention of clerks in San Francisco,
who drowned the tarantula, and a special
agent referred the matter to the Post
Office Department as an outrage and
violation of law. The Arizona Post
master excused his action by saying that
first-class postage was paid by the send
er, and he had no right to investigate
the contents. The whole affair is re-
garded by the postal authorities as a
joke, and rejecting on the nervous COM
position of the California officials

Irish Landlords.

A large majority of the farmers Of
Ireland have no lease of the land they
till, but pay the rent from year to year,
liable at any time to be elected, as some
times they are for trivial offenses. There
seems no link of sympathy on the part
of these landlords for the welfare or
prosperity Of their tenantry. The bust
ness part of receiving the rents is done
through agents, and, unfortunately,
these are valued in many instances BY
their employers on their ability to collect
the rents without paying much attention
as to the methods adopted. have met
and talked to many Irish farmers who
never saw their landlord, although liv-
ing on their places all their lives. There
are some few good, kind-hearted land
lords in Ireland, who give encourage
ment and take an interest in their tenant
~, and these show it at a glance, for they
live in habitable houses, and farm their
land to better advantage. But the bulk
of the landlords spend eight-tenths of
their time, and nine-tenths of their
money, in the South of France and
England. They are, to sum it up in
sentence, a miserable, worthless set Of
absentees, who have it in their power to
do so much good if they would only try.
The tenantry whom, as a rule, are hard
working, industrious people would meet
them more than half way if they were
offered any encouragement to better
their condition, especially in their
houses, many of which are not fit to
house cattle.-COr. Ne,cdrk Advertiser.

Special to the Sentinel:
FRANKLIN, Ind, April 2s.-The Democrats OF
this city met in convention tonight and
nominated candidates for City Council as fol-
lows: First ward, James j. Roberts; Second
ward, David A. Tingle. 1t was deemed advis-
able not to make q nomination in the Third
ward, as it is hopelessly Republican. How.
ever, there exists great dissatisfaction with
the Republican nominee, so much so that an
Independent candidate viii be brought out in
a day or two, upon whom the Democrats will
concentrate their votes with fair prospect of
electing him. The nominees in the First and
Second wards are considered strong men, and
there Is every probability of their election.

possession, and that she was entitled to them
both. Justice Mills delivered the opinion.
Justice Field delivered a separate concurring
opinion with regard to the test oath demand
ed of Juror Holmes, as follows:
/ agree with the court that Juror Holmes in
this case can not be required to answer the
questions put to him. But GO further. do
not think that the act of Congress which, by
requiring test oath as to past conduct, ex-
cludes a great majority of citizens OF half of
the country from the jury-box, is valid. In
my judgment the act Is not only oppressive
aud obtuse and repugnant to the spirit Of our
institutions, but is clearly unconstitutional
and void. AS war measure, to be enforced
In insurgent States when dominated by ma
tional forces, the act could be sustained; but
after the war was oyer, and the insurgent
States were restored to their normal and con-
stitutional relations to the Union, it was as
much out of place and as imperative as would
be law quartering soldier in every South

A New Deputy Sherif-Sudden Death-Sup-
posed Arrest of David Mauck.
Special to the Sentinel:
GREENsBURG, Ind, April 2S.-1t is publicly
reported ana generally believed that Andrew
Smith, sheriff of this county, has discharged
and dismissed his deputy, Joel Porter, because
Porter rebelled against the Republican ring
which controls this city. 1t is true that Por-
ter made a public speech last Saturday q light
to a large crowd, bitterly denouncing the ring
and it Is also true that a new deputy sheriff
appeared in court this morning.
Daniel Heaton, an old resident of this coun'
ty dropped dead in his yard this morning,
aged 81 years. Cause of death unknown.
r. ii. Wither, of this place, arrested tramp
last night, and placed him in Jail here, tha IS
supposed TO be David Mauck, the Corydon
murderer, as he fills the description. He will
not talk to any one, but says his name is Je-
rome Kumler. Further than this he will not
give any account of himself. Mr. Wither
thinks there is doubt but what he has got
the right man, if the description of him was
given correctly in the papers. Wither has
telegraphed to the officers at Corydon, Ind,
but has not received any answer yet.
