missioners, after making extensive inves.
legations as to the products Of the state
last year, report that the revelstions OF
the census Of 1880 are we'll calculated to

interests Of Connecticut. While there is
a gain Of population in the whole state of
SO, 663, there is s loss Of IL, 654 divided

THE PARoCHIAL SCHOOLS OF GIN.
 CINNATI.

 CINNATI.
 The movement begun in Cincinnati by the Catholic bishop to remodel the parochiaz schools on the model of the common schools is marked comment on the value of the lat ter. For some time there has been dissatis- faction on the part of parents with the par ochia1 schools, and some of the more prom inent German and Irish laymen began 8 movement the purpose of which was to ef feet consolidation of the public and Cath 1 olic schools with view to bettering the lat ter. They advocated the sale or turning | over to the city of the larger portion of | Catholic school property and the attainment in some way of Roman Catholic education for their children through appropriation of the funds raised by general taxation.
 This scheme failed, some of it's features being obnoxious to the Church. But it con- | vinced the Church authorities that it was time to do something and immediately after the close of the last school year the coadjutor archbishop of Cincinnati appointed large committee of priests to investigate the matter and report scheme of reform to him. Among the proposed changes are these: All
 
 religious or belonging to the laity, are to be subjected to 8 strict examination for compe- tency. All the text t-books used in the schools to be uniform The pupils themselves to be subjected from time to time to rigorous examination. For this purpose board of examiners to be appointed, whose duty will be to visit the schools often, and at times when their visits are least expected. The re- suit of such visits, together with personal examination, to establish the proficiency of a teacher Public commencements to be dis pensed with entirely. A member of the com mittee was in favor of insisting on more thorough study of the history and constitu- ton of the United States. Another brought out the expediency of a more thorough in struction in vocal music. subcommittee appointed to devise a new scheme of studies and select textbooks has since reported in favor of system comprising eight grades of schools, pursuing systematic and progres sive course of study, and 8 long list of Ro- man Catholic textbooks. The bishop has i sent copies of this report to all the clergy in ! the diocese, requesting them to examine it l and suggest amendments if they care to | do so. The parochial schools of Cincinnati are | probably as good as the average of such I schools, and the dissatisfaction felt with I them is like that felt in many cities where they are established. It is not surprising I that these schools suffer by comparison with the well-equipped and well-supported public | schools. It will be long time before any system of schools in this country will do bet | ter than the public school system.

Some of the speculators in grain have ! come to grief, and more will. but nobody will have any sympathy with them. In this con- nection recent decision of the Supreme Court of Michigan is of interest. In the case before them the judges dismissed the action of plaintiff to recover advances made in furtherance of contract to ''bulr' the grain market Said the presiding judge: '"The object of the arrangement between these par ties was to force fictitious and unnatural rise in the wheat market for the express pur- pose of getting the advantage of dealers and purchasers whose necessities compelled them to buy, and necessarily to create similar difficulty as to all persons who had to obtain or use that commodity, which is an article
 indispensable to every family in the country. That such transactions are hazardous to the comfort of the community is universally recognized. The statutes of New York ren- der such conspiracies unlawful. In the case
 before us the conduct of the parties comes within the undisputed censure of the law of the land, and we cannot uphold the transac-
 tion unless on the ground that such dealings
 are so manifestly sanctioned by usage and
 public approval that it would be absurd to
 suppose the Legislature, if attention were
 called to them, would not legalize them. We
 do not think public opinion has become so
 thoroughly demoralized; and until the law
 is changed we shall decline enforcing such
 contracts. If parties see fit to invest money
 in such ventures, they must get it back by
 other than legal measures"

! An Entire Change fn the Carbonate Camp i'm the Observance of the Sab bath.
 rFrom the Leadvil1e Herald.l Sunday in Leadville to-day is a very diff ! ferent thing from what it was two years or l even 8 year ago. At that time the only dis | tinction between the days of the week was l that on Sunday, if anything, more business was done, and the crowd on the streets was greater. It was the day generally selected ' for all kinds of entertainments, and, with the exception of one or two modest congrega- ' tions, they met for religious services wher- ever they could find spare room, there was little or no opposition to the attraction of the theatres and billiard halls Merchants and clerks looked forward to 1t as day of extra 1 long hours and hard work. At the mines the seven days were one and the same, and the fashion which they set was the one that gen. erally obtained. The sound of the church bells would have been mistaken for fire alarm, so novel would it have seemed and even the strictest church -goers at home kept l track of the days of the week merely by the aid of the almanac.
 Gradually few leading merchants closed their doors on Sunday, and it's importance as an exceptional day of business began to de- cline. Others followed the example set and gradual reaction set in, until many of the mines discontinued all work not absolutely necessary. Still the day remained more of a holiday than one Of religious observance, as in the freedom of western mining town it will always remain to greater or less ex- tent. During the transformation the various religious denominations had been organized and gaining strength, and soon the prover-
 bial hberality of a mining community was seen in the number of handsome churches
 that arose. Fortunately their pulpits were filled with iberal-minded men
 who could sympathize with the senti-
 ments and rough customs of
 new community, and were thus able Ito
 exercise an influence that would otherwise
 have been but little felt and, ii the idea of
 pastor presiding over dancing party
 among his own parishioners seems a little too
 liberal to some of the good, conservative peo-
 pie in the East, they must remember the
 story of Mohammed and the mountain, as
 well as the greater freedom and iberality of
 western and especially mountain customs and
 ideas. Practical, common sense preaching
 and earnest parochial work have built up
 large and healthy congregations, and when
 the church bells ring this morning the Sab-
 bath quiet of the streets, and the throngs of
 we'll dressed and intelligent people vending
 their way to the church will bear witness that
 the orthodox church has at last reached

The Costly Search After Gold and Silver.

[From the Engineering and Mining Journall
 AS everyone knows, the Comstock mines at the present time are all in ''borrasca," or poor ground, and not one of them is to-day paying dollar in dividends On the con- trary, they are all 1evying assessments, and are spending enormous sums in prospecting and driving after that will-o he-wisp bonan- ga that is forever being predicted as just little beyond the levels of every mine on the lode.
 The Yellow Jacket, that at one time had famous bonanza which paid in dividends 3D. 194, GOO previous to 1861, and which had been Q steady assessor for the greater part of the past ten years, has prospected the lode to depth exceeding 2,00O feet, by shaft which, on the 1st of July last, had cost, without interest, $1, ,674 POS 53, and is yet without ore. The assessments of this con- pany have already amounted to $4, 098, ,OO0, and during the year ending June 30, 1881, the expenditures at tue mines were $549, TAO, of which $27, 230 were on account of and for driving TAB feet of the Sutro tunnel During the year 1,055 feet of drifts were run, and 9SO feet of diamond drill prospect holes, which was all the effective prospecting done for over half million dollars. The greater part of the outlay was for pumping and re- pairs. The superintendent says ''From April 16, when connection was made with the Sutro tunnel, to June 20, or in little more than one month, we pumped and hoisted s6,OOo,0 ,000 gallons, or 36O,- O0O tons of water. We have had since that time steady flow of 60 miners inches, or 720 gallons per minute" This amount, 2.7 tons per minute or about g. 300 tons day, is raised from the 3,OOO-foot level to the Sutro Tunnel, nearly 1,5oO feet, and involves an expense greater than that required to work some of the largest and most profitable mines in this country Yet at the present time the Yellow Jacket is simply prospect, and all thaca 5if1rnc pecting expenses incurred in the hope of finding something. And this is but one out of score of mines prospecting the Com stock, none of which pays expenses.
 Never before in the history of the world have such enormous sums been expended for prospecting as we see to-day on the Com stock. The same amount prudently invested in less expensive and more promising dis tricts would no doubt produce vastly better results

A Maine Mans E1pedient.

An eccentric old man placed new water conductor along the caves of double tene- ment house on Garland lane, and he found when he had the gutter in place that the end which should have been the lower was in re- ality the higher, and that water would not run up an inclined plane The old fellow puzzled over the situation for some time, but at last his mind was illuminated by what he considered brilliant idea, and he proceeded to put it to practical demonstration. He hired men to take the underpinning from the end of the house at which the gutter was too low, and then to raise this end of the house with jack screws. By this novel meth cd, of course, the conductor at the eyes was made to work more conformably to his wish es. But the owner of the other tenement was occasioned considerable expense and much annoyance by the ceiling in his part cracking and the doors springing off of bal ance, so that they could not be shut. It would not be strange if a suit at law should result

Making Paint of Mummiss

Where did they come from? From Thebes. Are more coming? Yes; plenty. There appears to be a regular business going on in mummies be- tween Thebes and Long Acre. The num- mics are brought over enveloped in their rich bituminous covering-and hosresco refer- ens-ground up, bones, cases. coverings, bitumen, and all. What for?

Tetamus in Baltimore.


 The recent report of the inflammation of the parotid gland of President Garfield, e1- citing in the minds of many fears of lockjaw or tetanus, has revived the interest in the consideration of the large and remarkable number of cases of tetanus recently occur ring in this city. The total number of deaths from tetanus in this city for the first six months of the year was 15. This does not include four cases of trismus nascentium. The deaths from tetanus from July to August 12 were 33. In 25 of these cases te- tanus resulted from injuries inflicted by toy pistols, one by the teeth of rake, one by 8 Roman candle, and one by 8 rolling machine. the hand, one or two the foot, and in one the abdomen. The tetanic symptoms developed as follows: July 2, case; July 6, case; July 9, 6 cases; July 10, cases; July II, 4 cases; July 12, cases; July 14, case; July 15, case; July 16, case; July 23, cases; July 24, case, and July 27, case. The period of the develop ment of the tetanus after the receipt of the injury was from to 28 days. being in 15 of 9 from to 8 days. The duration of the tetanus was from 24 hours to 10 days In one-half it proved fatal within AS hours. AL most all the usual remedies were tried with out avail. There was large number of wounds from the use of the imperfectly con- structed and deadly toy pistol which<were not followed by this dread disease, but the proportion cannot be ascertained. The affec- ton is known to have exhibited an epidemic character. During the time of the epidemic there was nothing peculiar as to the barome- ter, but the high relative humidity reported July 9 to 13 was marked during the time the greatest number of cases were de- yeloped. The high rangeof the thermometer also from about the Sd to the 16th is worthy of observation. Sergeant Robert Seyboth, in charge of the United States signal office, says: 'sAs regards the possible relations of the weather conditions to the prevalence of tetanus, can only say that the former pre- scented nothing abnormal in temperature, pressure or humidity during the latter part of June and July indeed, the latter month was remarkable for it's close resemblance to the average for many years, except def ciency in the amount of rainfall and in the mean relative humidity"
