In lSlSa French chemist, Thenard, sue
ceeded in combining two proportions of o1y-
gen with one proportion of hydrogen, form
ing, in the language of chemistry the dent
oxide of hydrogen 1G OK. hy.) water being
the protoxide. This compound is described
as resembling water in some respects, being
colorless and inodorous. But it corrodes the
skin and turns il white; has a sharp, biting
effect upon the tongue, and strong metallic
taste. 1t is decomposed at the low tempera-
ture of SO.
The experiment of the French chemist
shows in some degree how the nature of a
compound may be changed by combining diff
erent proportions of its clements. A greater
change is effected in the combination of diff
ferent proportions of chlorine with mercury.
Calomel is a combination of one atom OF chic
rine with one atom of mercury, and is a COM
mon medicine and harmless in the hands of
any good physician. Corrosive sublimate is
a combination of two atoms of chlorine with
one atom of mercury, and is one of the most
dangerous of all the metallic poisons, few
grains producing the intensest agony, ending
in death. Sc. c.

Mr. Dixon, brother of the man murdered
by Barksdale in Yazoo, (Miss.) last year, re-
Gently visited his native place, and while
there expressed the opinion and the hope
that Garfield would be elected. He was at
once notified that men will not be tolerated
in that place who express such sentiments,
The Yazoo Herald notified Mr.. Dixon editori-
ally that such opinions were not wanted there.
The Herald is very enthusiastic for Gen. Han

The Difference,

When the Republican
delegates from Minneso-
ia to the Chicago con-
vention returned home,
nobody paid any atten-
tion to them. They
merely made the short
est cut home through the
back alleys, lodged in
t h rou 6 h the kitchen
door, put on their every
day clothes, and went
about their business as
ifnothing had happened.
But when the Democrat
ic delegates return e d
from Cincinnati, the peo-
pie OF st. fauI welcomed
them with the grandest
reception and rati6ca-
ton meeting ever held
in the State. Such gen.
eral enthusiasm was nev-
er seen in St. Paul be-
fore, and it required sew
en- columns of the Daily
Globe to give an account
of the proceedings, and
it took nearly a page of
the Pioneer Press.

Gen. W. s. Hancock.
T he nomination IF
Gen Hancock for Presf.

he nomination Of
Gen. Hancock for Presi-
dent has created intense
enthusiasm throughout
the United States, not
only among Democrats,
but to a considerable ex-
tent among Republi-, :,
cans. He was one of the
most gallant and able
generals in the Union
army during the war of
the rebellion. Indeed it
is questionable if there
was another general who
displayed as great per-
sonal courage and mill
tary tact during the war.
In some of the most des-
perate battles where men
were lying fiat on the
ground to avoid the.
death dealing missiles
that seemed to fill the
air, Gen. Hancock rode
along in front of the
lines encouraging the
men to maintain their
ground. For his val
liant conduct at the bat
tie Of Gettysburg he re-
ceiVed the thanks Of
Congress. He was Sc
vere1y wounded in that
battle, and the miracu-
lous fact that he was not
pierced by a Thousand
bullets can only be ac-
counted for on the theo-
ry that a mercifu] Prov
idence spared him to be
a future President cfthis
great n alton, Aside
from his good military
record, he has also been
a close student of gov
ernmental a fairs and
constitutional law. AL
though a military man,
he has always regarded
the army as nothing
more than the sustainer
of civil law. His nota-
BILE orders issued while
commanding the depart
ment of Louisiana prove
his capacity as a consti-
tutional lawyer. Even
the most virulent parti-
san Republican newspa-
pers cannot find any
thing against Gen. Han
cocks record, and they
content themselves by
merely abusing him for
being a Democrat.

Of the way to add that this. remodificatlon OF
our H1gh-School. system will save the 1axpaS-
| ers about SIC, COO annually.
| The return TO, the clearly-dehned dlstlnc-
ton between grammar and primary schools
is also commendable move. The prospect
OF promotion to the Grammar School stfmu-
lates the primary pupils to far greater energy
than any mere class promotion possibly could;
besides, taken in connection with the read
justment Of boundaries Which the Superill-
tendent has in contemplation, the change
will enable him to use every sitting in the
schools for the accommodation Of pupils,
and there will be no such anomalous and
ridiculous state Of affairs as existed during
the last term OF the last school year, when
there were at least three vacant rooms In the
Skinner Building, while the Dore and other
surrounding schools were uncomfortably
crowded, and while there were hundreds of
pupils In various parts OF the city who could
not gnin admission for want Of room, as 1t
was represented to them. Mr.. Rowland has
set to reforming these abuses In real earnest,
and he promises to economize every school
sitting so IS to accommodate as many pupils
as possible. ;
The new Superintendent has done enough
already to'prove the wisdom OF the Board or
Education in eIecting him, but much more
may be expected. He has a most efficient
corps of assistants, and will have their
cordial support, as we'll as the support and
advice Of some Of the best School Prin-
cipals in the country,-men OF the
robust s.. good sense and intellectual
vigor of Mr.. Hannah, Mr. Babcock, and Mr.
Haywood, and women land here 1t may be
remarked the women Principals are all good)
Of the keen educational insight and unfiag-
ging industry Of Mrs. Young anu Miss Curtis.
Besides lie has in the fullest degree the con-
fidence Of the Board Of Education, of the
pupils as far IS they know, and Of the entire
people of Chicago. His long residence here,
his atTable manners, his genial good
nature have endeared him to all, while
his varied and comprehensive scholar
ship and manly dignity have won
universal respect Underh. the circum-
stances we feel justified III saying that never
before did the schools Of Chicago open under
happier auspices or with brighter prospects.
The teachers will return to work Tomorrow
with brighter faces and in better humor than
they have at any September for long time.
Their cheerfu1ne.s cannot fail to have its
effect on a. large percentage Of the $1,000 or
10000 pupils under their charge. There is
harmony all round, Superintendent,
Principals, teachers. pupils, and parents To

The general advantage and convenience
Of horse-railways are not more conspicuous
iii any city in the country than they are in
Chicago. They lave become a public neces-
slty. This necessity:is shown by the fact
Chat, though the lines are already numerous,
they are still too few for present purposes,
and that the increase of routes must
continue for many years to come.
The man who supposes that all the
routes needed for horse cars have been taken
up greatly mistakes the present aud future
wants Of the city. The. tmeis rapidly COM
ing when the number Of lines must be quad
rup1ed, or there ,lnnst be some other means OF
transportation supplied. ~ +. -: <.
The steam transportation on the lakeshore
roads may furnish for time means Of

Tomorrow the public schools Of Chicago
will open under the most favorable auspices,
the brightest promises of usefulness, and the
most kindly influences. The election Of Mr.
Howland last June putan end to the sup
posed rule Of the misunderstanding pot
house politicians aud petty intrighnts over
the public schools OF our city, and put an
end, to0, to all suspicion Of official esptoh-
age, p0mpous emptiness, and cumbrous nom
sense which obtained in them for the past
three years,-a system which was trrirAt-
ing to the teachers, detrimental to the pupils,
and degrading to the schools. With the In
cumbency Of Mr. Howlaid, and through his
tact, energy, aud scholarship, there Is abun-
dant promise that the schools will attain to
the high rank which they held and the
splendid reputation to which they attained
under Mr. Plckard. =.
Already there are many evidences Of a
better state of affairs. In the few weeks
which have elapsed since his election: A1r.
Rowland has not been idle. He has advised
changes which are as desirable as they PROM
ise to be productive Of good results. The
establishment OF three High Schools, ,-one in
each division of the city,-instead Of the So
called Division High Schools, places within
the reach Of every enterpristng and ambitious
Chicago boy and girl the means of obtaining
firstc1ass business or academic education.
The staff Of the old High School has beef
judiciously distributed among these three
schools, and the Pripcipa1ships are held by
three excellent men. Mr. G. p Nelles,
the new Principal Of the largest and most
important Of them, through his quiet dignity,
broad scholarship, and stalwart N hniiness.
has had not . little to do In molatng the
character Of some Of the brightest young
meh and some of the best women Of Chicago
who were lils pupils III the senior class
Of the Central High School. The course
Of = instruction : has been rearranged,
and Is now IDS :, thorough, practical.
aid symmetrical as might be expected OF the
