important Insurance Law.

Howllnd's insurance bill has be-
come a law. It provides that losses
in case Of a fire shall be paid on the
insurable value as fixed by the agent
at the time of taking out the policy.
In case of total loss the full amount
mentioned in the policy shall be paid,
and in case of partial loss the full
amount of the partial loss shall be
paid, but when two or more poll
cjes are issued on the same proper
ty, each policy shal. contribute to
the payment of the whole or partial
loss in proportion to the amount Of
insurance mentioned in the policy {;

About one third of these teachers are
under 20 years of age, andnearly one
half have no higher qualifications fO1
their work than is evidenced by the
possession of a six months certif-
cate. This statement is not made
to disparage unduly the work of the
teachers of the ungraded schools.
In these schools are to be found
some of the most enthusiastic, com
petent, and progressive teachers in
the State; yet truth compels the
assertion that a very large number
of country teachers are young, mex
perienced, and in other respects
poorly fitted to discharge the duties
of their positions. If supervision
has any value anywhere, surely it
can act with wholesome effect in
schools largely given over to the in
strUctiOn and management of tyros
in the art of teaching. Many causes
cOnsPire to bring the best teaching
talent to the city schools, chief Of
which may bementiOned good wages
and the prospect for permanent en-
ployment yetwith confessedly good
corps Of teachers the city school
authorities have not deemed it wise
or economical to conduct their
schools without supervision. In fact
school boards in cities act on the
belief that the efficiency of the teach
ing corps are largely dependent
upon the efficiency of. the agency by
which it is directed.

Blue Glass.

The New York Mercury tells a strange
scientific story based on the blue glass
business. It seems that Prof GivOdam,
a French savant, commenced a series OF
experiments in 1866, on the effects Of
different Colored glasses, and especially
various shades of blue. Having obtained
two Moorish twin girls, five or six years
old, they were kept under the blue glass
all the time, and, as a consequence,
when eight years had passed, they were
full-grOWn and fully developed women.
Their powers of seeing and hearing were
at the same time growing more acute ;
first, they could see the OdOr Of an
orange radiating from the fruit like a
mist; then these two girls came to see
each other when absent, with walls
between. At the same time their teacher,
the professor, had become sharpened in
his wits, and he, too, could see the color
of sharp or sour odOrs. Further the
Moorish women can now see a variety OF
things attached to common beings which
ordinary people cannot see at all; in
fact, all three of them can see the space
surrounding men and women filed with
strange, living gapparitiOns-sOmetimesas as
many as a thousand, in a room at one
time,

A gentleman remarked to me the
other day, ,saysthe NelD York Letter, that,
stopping at the residence of a we'll
known dressmaker to execute a COM
mission for his wife, he met the lady
proprietor of the establishment, and
found to his astOnishment that she had
! been the seamstress Of his mother in the
country house in his boyhood; had
married from his mothers house a
ne'er-dO-well, after which the family lost
sight of her. With much pride and
selfsatisfactiOn she informed him that
she had left her husband a few years
after her marriage, he never having
done anything tor her support, and had
taken a situation as seaInStress in New
York city. The prices paid by her mis-
tress and her young lady daughters for
having their dresses made, the eclat at
tached to paris" styles, gave her an
idea upon which, as soon as she had
saved a little money, she acted. She
boldly announced herself as a dress
maker, offered to copy their imported
dresses, did so satisfactorily, and thus
not only gained experience but increased
her own emOluments After a time she
left her situation and launched out. At
the present moment she employs three
men cutters, goes to Paris for goods and
styles every season, lives in a house
which she owns end for which she paid
S.. 900, and drives 10 ler place of busi-
ness in a carriage every morning.

How to Get Rich.

Nothing is more easy than TO grow
rich. 1t is only to trust nobody-tO be-
friend none-to get all you can and save
all you get-to stint yourself and every
body belonging to you-to be the friend
of no man, and have no man for your
friend-to heap interest upon interest
cent upon cent-to be mean, miserable
and despised for some twenty or thirty
yeaTs-and riches will come as sure as
disease, disappointment and death.
And when pretty nearly enough
wealth is collected by a disregard of
all the charities of the human heart, and
at the expense of every enjoyment
death will finish the work-the body be
buried-the heirs dance and fight over
what you have left and the spirit will &C
where?
By all means get rich-it will pay.

COLUMBUS, MARCH 10, 1879.
By direction Of the State Central
Committee, the next Republican
State Convention will be held in the
city Of Cincinnati, Wednesday, the
28th day Of May, 1879.
The Convention will nominate can
didates for
Governor,
Lieutenant Governor,
Supreme Judge,
Attorney General,
Auditor of State,
Treasurer Of State,
Member of the Board of Public
Works.
We recommend that efforts be
made to secure a large attendance at
the meetings to appoint delegates,
so that the people shall be fairly re-
presented in the State Convention,
and as faras possible that the County
Central Committees be appointed at
the same time that delegates to the
State Convention are chosen, If they
have not been appointed before.
The basis of representation in the
Convention will be one delegate to
every five hundred votes cast for
Milton Barnes for Secretary Of State
in 1878, and one additional delegate
for any fraction of two hundred and
fifty votes and upward in each
county.
Upon this basis Highland county
is entitled to six delegates.

The CITY of Orange.

ways that lead from Marseilles, Lyons
and Paris, on a small tributary of the
Rhone, having once papal Avignon for a
not distant neighbOr, and in times past
not unfrequently for an ally against sur
rounding aggression, lies the old Roman
and Burgundian city of Orange. It is
the ancient AransiO, and the great walls
of its theatre, still standing, tell of the
days when Southern Gaul was a Roman
Province. 1t is indeed celebrated
among French cities for its monuments
of long past splendor. Its history is a
remarkable one, but the most nOtewor-
thy points in it are its maintaining its
independence after it had been almost
completely surrounded by a hostile and
covetOus power, and its giving a titular
name to princes, whose lives had praC-
ticalIy no connection with it, however.

The Presidents Special Message.

The Presidents Special Message.
The following is the Presidents
message:
Fellow-citizens of the Senate and
House of Representatives
The failure Of the last Congress to
make the requisite appropriations for
Legislative and Judicial purposes,
for the expenses Of the several Exc
cutive Departments of the Govern
ment, and for the support Of the
army, has made it necessary to call
a special session of the Forty-siXth
Congress-. The estimates Of the arp
preparations needed, which were sent
to Congress by the Secretary of the
Treasury at the opening of the last
session, are renewed, and are. here
with transmitted to both the Sen
ate and House of Representatives.
Regretting the existence Of the emer-
gency which requires a special ses-
sion of Congress at a time when it
is the general judgment Of the COun-
try that the public welfare will be
best promoted by permanency in
our legislation, and by peace and
rest, I commend these fe y necessa-
ry measures to your considerate at
tention. RUTHERFORD B. HAYES.
CSigned.
WASHINGTON, March 19, 1879.
Accompanying the Presidents mes
sage are estimates from the Secreta-
ry of the Treasury of money need
ed for the army, and Legislative, ex-
ecative and Judicial branches Of the
Government. These estimates are
the same as those submitted at the
opening of the last session, with the
exception of items provided for at
that session. The last Congress
made provision for the Military
Academy at West Point, and fortif-
cations and armament. This leaves,
according to estimates, S28,340,5O0
yet to be appropriated for the army.
None of the Legislative, Executive
and Judicial appropriations were pro
vided for, even in part. The esti-
mate for these expenses is SIG, ,52O,-
Sol. To the appropriations are also
to be added the item for court ex-
penses, which is generally placed in
the Sundry Civil bill, but which was
left out of that bill at the last ses-
sion. The estimate for these expen-
ses is S3,OOO,OOO.
