During the past two years five ladies have
been elected to the Office of county superin-
tendent in Nebraska.
There is movement in the Wisconsin
legislature Tor the extension of a system OF
night schools in the country districts
Smith College is endeavoring 10 found a
fund of $50, 900 for the assistance OF poor
students. 1t has begun the work with a
scholarship of $4,000.
1t is estimated that there are in Philadel-
phia between tweniy-seven thousand and
twenty-eight thousand children who are not
attending any school.
The Cambridge Museum Of Comparative
Zoology now has the right to send every year

radical remedy for evils of manners and

The Illinois Supreme Court has decided
that the Quincy Board of Education had no
authority to enforce the rule requiring the
colored children of the city TO attend one
particular school set apart for their use.
Thus vanishes from Illinois the separate
school Tor colored children.
Two ladies have been nominated for school
directors in one of the Philadelphia wards
This is not the first time this has happened
in that city. Not long ago two ladies were
elected in another ward and did such intelli-
gent and honest work that, as the Press sar-
castically says, "they were hardly even men
toned for denomination"
1t is argued in Virginia that instead of
establishing normal schools to supply sorely-
needed teachers, it would be wiser to utilize
existing institutions and to add two or three
normal professorships to the university, re-
quiring also each academic professor to give
normal instruction in the teaching OF his
own branch of knowledge.

Of commerce at New Orleans, and above all
the cheap rates at which barges can carry
grain and other freight down the Mississippi,

of which upon Congress can be overcome only
by the most determined action Of the people
of the Mississippi valley. The people Of
Memphis have the strongest local motives
Tor demanding and from Congress for the

in better way than by our citizens joining
the people of the valley at large in their
movement for general improvement OF the en-
tire river, while demonstrating TO them the
reasons why there should be work done i'm

claims Of similar character. This gained,

What are the people of Memphis doing
toward insuring the passage of the projec. 10
improve the Mississippi river now before
Congress? Our city is deeply interested in
its success, and all legislators in Washington
from our State should be stimulated to do
their utmost in its favor. The best stimulant
that can be administered is a manifestation
of the feelings Of the people of Tennessee
upon the subject Congress and the country
should be left in no doubt. about the people
OF the South and, West being in serious
earnest upon this matter. To obtain success
il no easy conquest. There is no projec. for
public Improvement before Congress as
strong as this; yet there is danger OF its be-
ing swamped by the numerous projects
urged upon Congress. The Mississippi, the
Ohio, the harbors OF New York and Charles

benefit creeks and canals which nobody ever
heard of before, and at the same time a
prejudice is created against the river and
harbor appropriation. The Hennepin

The advantage of this compound over the
plain oil is that the nauseating taste of the
oil is entirely removed, and the whole rem
dered palatable. The offensive taste of the
oil has long acted as great objections 10 its
use; but in this form the trouble is obviated.
