sciences in schools in different parts of
the country; These were taught as
other studies, the pupils using the
textbook. In most cases where | have
no one studying the sciences I teach
them as Il general exercise, devoting
about ten minutes every morning to
the exercise. For example: I, to-day,
explain the philosophy of the siphon;
tomorrow | will explain why it rains
and how the vapor in the clouds, by
condensation, descenls in drops which
We call rain; the next day, probably,
the manner in which trees grow; then
some Of the more simple principles of
Astronomy, Geology, Mental Philoso-
ply &c.
Devoting ten minutes to this every
morning, it amounts to eleven hours
during a three months term, or less
than two days, and yet, if subjects are
judiciously selected, children will
acquire considerable knowledge Of the
science in this eleven hour course,
which will be Of far more use to them
in the future than two days Of "John's

TIE Primaries ON Saturday last
were characterized with that quiet and
order for which Republican elections
are noted. The vote, which may seem
light, was all that could be expected
when we take into consideration that
there was but one office for which
there was any struggle, Besides We
can count from fifteen to twenty who
were out of town, and could not get
home in time to vote, and we are told
it was the same in many ofthe other
districts. Of the ticket nominated we
have neither time nor space at present
to say much; but that it is first.
class one in every respect, 40 voter
in Forest county can or will deny, and
that it will receive the hearty support
of every Republican in the county -
which will be sufficient to elect it by a
good majority-there is not shadow
of doubt. We are fully aware that
the Democrats and Greenbackers will
struggle hard to elect their candi-
dates, and for this reason it becomes the
Republicans to be on the alert.

Well. another veto has been sent
into the democratic last ditch, and
the poor Confederates have got to get
up and run once more. When this
session began, they distinctly stated
that nothing short Of the repeal of the
laws relative to supervisors reflections
and deputy marshals and the test oath
for jurors, and the abolition of the
Executive power to use troops to keep
the peace on election day would salts
fly them, and justify the voting of sup.
plies. One by one their positions have
been abandoned until now they have
very narrow margin Of "last ditch"
to stand in. Their only success has
been to change the law relative to the
test oath, and that was acquiesced in
by majority of Republicans and the
President, and would have been grant
ed if presented in a seperate bill. The
Army bill pretended to prohibit the
use of troops at the polls, but it will
prove Intellectual jas means of Grip.

seek the small accounts of people who
have but dollar or 50 to deposit at a
time, and these would be the sole patrons
of the Postal Savings Banks. 1t is no
argument TO say that the Government
should not go into the business of keep
ing money for the people. Why not?
The Government went into the business
of transmitting money from one place to
another for the people, and no branch of
the postal service is now more highly
priced than the moncy-order department.
Ii the Government goes into the banking
business for any class why should it not
do SO for all CLASSES of people? Certainly
none need tie protecting care of the
Government more than the people who
would become the patrons Of Postal Say
ings Banks, and Congress can do nothing
more calculated to inspire the masses
with Il spirit of economy and thrift that
will lead to their general improvement
than by putting in operation a good,
simple and convenient system of Postal
Savings Banks.

A Carson Clergyman.


Rev. Mr.. Davis has recently become
the rector of the Episcopal Church al
Carson. One evening, shortly after hi'
arrival, social was given at the churcl
for the purpose of giving the members al
opportunity for becoming acquainted
with the new pastor. Two of the oldest
and most respectable pillars of the sane
tuary entered the pastors study-a cozy
little room, where fire was brightly
burning-and found a dozen gentlemen
lounging around in easy attitudes and
smoking. As Mr.. Davis was known tc
be Western man and liberal, the cigars
didn't shock the brethren much. They
were introduced, and rather stared al

The old man gasped, but managed tc

WELL responded the clergy nlaB. with
cheerful confidence "Pll give the boys a
rattle, and do what | can to drive a few
gospel stakes. Is it a pretty good crowd
for business"
Both the Mortified brethren stared
specchlessly at the pastor. Seeing that
they failed to comprehend, the reverend
gentlemen kindly explained:
"Oh, you don't tumble to the racket!
What ! mean is, will you church fellows
stand in when peel and go for the sim
ncrs?"

church when another brother hailed them
and said he wanted to introduce them to

The Mcdico-Lcgal Society of New
York, as its name indicates covers rather
an extended field. 1t is composed of
some of the best members of both the
legal and medical professions, and, while
not spreading over quite so much ground
as the Social Scientists do, it has awak-
ened public interest to some of the most
important evils that exist in our country
The first and most conspicuous perhaps
were the horrors of lunatic asylum prac-
tices in the State of New York and the
use of the ''utica Crib" The next in
Importance was the ventilation of the
tenement-house system of our large
cities. At recent meeting Of the Soci-
ETY. DR.. Beach produced a paper on the
Inspection of the Dead" which is dcs-
tined to attract much attention. He
says that "no person who dies in large
town or city in this country should be
buried without the body being subjected
to an inspection of a properly qualified
officer" He gives two very good reasons
for this suggestion. First, that under
the present loose system of our laws
many crimes are liable to 20 undis-
covered, and second, that the burial of
living person should be made impossible.
Az it is, very many crimes are buried in
the graves of the victims. That is rec
ognized fact. But, that many are buried
alive is 50 well established as to warrant
the utmost caution. Of the few indica-
tions of death, viz, cessation of re-pira-
tion, stoppage Of the hearts action, loss
of animal heat, rigor morris, and putre-
faction, the last is the only one that can
be absolutely relied upon. Until this is
manifested there is no positive evidence
warranting sepulture unless an examna-
tion has been made by some properly
qualified officer"

Woman suffrage has set the two houses

The many failures OF Savings Banks and

Postal Savings Banks would be hailed
with delight, and backed by the wealth

as reliable beyond question Feeling
thus, with the establishment OF Postal

their surplus earnings would go there

current expenses. Few persons, who
