The New York Tribune says . Text
books should not be opened by children
out of school hours, and system which
compels child TO study at home is radi-
cally wrong and arranged for the benefit
OF the teacher rather than of the pupil

Jennie McGanley, age II. applied to
Recorder McDonough, at Hoboken. on
Tuesday. for commitment TO one of the

father and mother were both drunkards.
They drove her from the house when she
was very young, to beg. Then the father
compelled her 10 steal Both he and her
brother were now in the State Prison for
theft She had become convinced that
home was no longer the place for her.
The charter of Vineland requires an an
nual vote on the question of license OF no
I license. There are twelve hundred voters
/ in the town, and so far the vote for Ii
i cense has not exceeded thirty. A Ger
man who went there a very poor man
/ fourteen years ago. and now owns a nice
/ little farm and good buildings, in giving
his experience in that town, said g |
have noticed that where there are saloons
I
loafers in Vineland, and SO | vote against
I saloons every time.
! The Newark Adgertiser advocates an
amendment to the State Constitution pro-
| yiding for the holding of Biennial Legis-
lative sessions, claiming THAT it would be
an inestimable relief to the treasury and
people of the State if they could be omit
ted at least every other year, as has been
proved by the experience of other States
which have adopted the plan with marked
satisfaction. There seems to be no valid
objection to it here except from the politi-
cal schemers, mercenary lobbymen and
hungry Office seekers, who could be more
usefully employed in some regular indus
try than in constantly inventing pretexts
for popular excitement.
AS sugar State, New Jersey may yet
figure extensively. The Philadelphia
Press says
After experiments which have run
through many years, the problem of max
ing sugar from sorghum syrup has been
solved at the Rio Grand sugar factory in
New Jersey. Between September 18th
and November 10Th, 1000 barrels of sugar
and as many of molasses we're made from
1000 tons of sorghum stalks. Sorghum
will grow wherever corn will. There is a
good prospect therefore, that the Louisi-
ana sugar growers will find an active com
petition sprnging up in nearly every State
of the Union.

HowoRTH's HIBERNICA.-Fo the first
time in two years our Irish population
were, last evening, given an opportunity of
attending an entertainment of class that
is as popular with them, as "Uncle Toms
Cabin is for the average American. Ho
worth's Hibernica combination is, to say
the least, an adm irably selected one. The
entertainment was largely attended and
gave the best OF satisfaction, If the hearty
peals of laughter aud tumnltuous applause
of the audience is any criterion as to the
merits Of the performance. 1t abounds
in fun and is devoid of anything vulgar or
offensive. Peoria qll.l Transcript,
