On Wednesday corporal punishment
was inflicted upon little male scholar in
one of the lower rooms in one of the public
schools in this city. The little fellow had
probably been mischievioss and deserved
some kind Of punishment he was taken into
the recitation room and there fogged. He
was, perhaps, not severely fogged; but his
cries were heard by all his schoolmates,
whose little hearts, no doubt, palpitated
wildly with anxiety and compassion for
their suffering little schoolfellow. Some
of these scholars, especially the feminine
portion of them, are very sensitive and the
pitious cries of the punished boy rendered
many of them too nervous to pursue their
lessons properly. Others laughed about it,
Of course; for children are differently con-
stituted. some are accustomed to receive a
fogging themselves every day and verbal
rebuke every hour. But the sensitive ones
were shocked, and some of them came home
that evening, sought their parents and,
amid sobs and tears, told them the story
of the fogging, and expressed fear that
they might be similarly dealt with if they
did not attend to their books properly, for
one of the teachers had intimated as much.
Whatever others may believe, The BUILE-
TIN is of opinion that this is not as it should
be. TEE BULLETIN is constitutionally OPP
posed to corporal punishment as means of
enforcing obedience in our public schools.
The BULLETIN is Of opinion that teacher
should not rule his or her scholars with the
ruler or the rod that the Creekles of Dick.
ems time have no business in the public
schools of to-day. There are anumber of
ways in which dsorderly scholars may be
punished, which will not shock the sensi-
tive natures of the little lookers-on, which
can be inflicted without sacrifice of dignity
on the part of the teacher and without ex-
citing the obdurate offender to greater stub
bornness. But if none of these various
means, invented by experience and good
judgment and humanity for the punish
ment of persistently offending scholars, has
the desired effect, then suspension MAY,
not only, but SHOULD, be resorted to. The
BULLETIN questions the wisdom, the hui
mainly and the dignity of corporal punish
ment in our public schools. The rod as a
means of punishment in our public schools
is as much relic of barbarism as would be
tho whippng-post in our Jail yard. Cor.
poral punishment in our public schools and
a logging in the Jail yard are alike brutal
and brutalizing. Neither has the respect
of intelligent people, neither can be recog'
nized as consistent with the civilization Of
our day Common sense despises both alike
humanity denounces them and good govern
ment suppress them. Let both be buried
side by side with the stake and foggot
the wrack and the thumb scrcw.

"A good sized audience gathered at
Reform hall, on Eighth street, last night.
1t was composed of grown and of young
people, all deeply interested in the advance
ment of the cause of temperance. 1t was
the regular meeting of the Cairo Temper
ance Reform club and was very interesting,
although no famous foreign orator was pres
emit. Several fiery little speeches were made
by members of the organizations, several
songs were sung; some business of minor
Importance was transacted, an interesting

things were done which made the time

Great excitement reigns in Mayfeld,
KY, because of the death from small pox of
young Chas. McElrath. kilograms for
vaccine virus were coming to Paducah all
day Thursday, while many parties, not car
ing to risk delay, came on the train after
the matter. So many called to see the sick
man before it was known that he had the
small pox that other cases are almost GER
tain to break out, and the excitement and
fear is but natural A gentleman of the
place, who was in Paducah Thursday said
that nothing occurring in the place for
years has raised such decided sensation.

Judge Davidge opened the argument
for the prosecution in the Guiteau trial on
Thursday. At the close of the day most
sensational scene occurred. The district
attorney made most violent speech against
the prisoner being allowed to again address
the court from the counsel table, as is pro-
posed in his closing argument in his own
defense, This set the prisoner off in a
clamor, Mrs. Scoville into tears and loud
sobs and the audience into applause. For
several moments the scene was very sensa-
tional and thrilling.

MIR. II. w. Kendall, in the Quincy
Wing, calls attention to the effect of vac
cination in Ireland. He says that previous
to 1870 the annual mortality from small
pox in that island was from five thousand
to seven thousand, and had been for one
hundred years. In that year compulsory
vaccination was enforced, and the mortality
fell to three hundred, and in 1871, after
the compulsory act was fully enforced,
there was not case in Ireland. There
have been but few since.

Mr.. Carpenter, in charge of the Dan
vile, Olney & Ohio river railroad survey, is
in Carmi. He reports the present line from
Olney to MISUNDERSTANDING Wayne,
hamilton, Saline and other counties-as
rather rough, not equal to the survey by
way of Carmi and Shawneetown. AS an
other road is being surveyed from Shawnee
town to Metropolis, which, should the D.,
o. g. o. r. take the route being surveyed,
would be a competing line, the chances are
that the road will finally be run SO as to
connect with the Shawneetown road, and
that the company will then buy out that
line. BY the route through Shawneetown
better section of country is opened up,
also country that is destined ere long to
be the mining section of the state.

The two prisoners, Collins and Coney,
who made their escape from the Chester
penitentiary on Saturday night, at 10
o'clock, did so by cutting hole through
the roof OF the manner of escape and
capture, the Valley Clarion says; "Last
Saturday evening two more men broke out
of the penitentiary, from the. solitary this
time. One was Tom Collins, one of the
highway robbers who held up the superin-
tendent of the Gartside coal company last
spring, and was sent up for ten years. He
had been on bread and water for about
week in the solitary and thought it time to
change his boarding place. The other con-
vict was John Coney, by many believed to
be Emile Hobusch, of this city, sent up
from Clinton county, more than year ago
for larceny. His term was two years and
he had but two months more to serve. The
escape was made at about ten o'clock p. m,
and it was discovered that they were gone
about II o'clock. Mr.. Frank Gustin was
guarding the solitary at the time and the
escape was effected by cutting hole
through the roof. The operation was con-
Quoted SO noiselessly that Mr.. Gustin did
not hear any commotion. Men were i'm
mediately dispatched in search of the
fugitives and have been following their
trails for the last two days with no success
SO far. Later. The fugitive convicts were
recaptured yesterday morning in the barn
of Mr.. Frank Clore, near this city. Mr.
Phil Clore, who lives on the adjoining
premises, was absent from home early in
the morning, and on returning found I'M
mistakable evidence of the presence of bur-
glars Summoning assistance, he searched
the premises and found the remains of
fire in neigboring hollow and, conclud-
ing that the burglars had sought shelter
from the rain, the party proceeded to ex-
plore Mr. Frank Clores barn. A pitch
fork run into the straw came in contact
with human and cry and double cap
ture resulted in short order.

Jr. son of Judge David j. Baker, of this

roy Ridenhauer, Of Vienna, were recon.
mended to the examining authorities at
West Point by Congressman J. r. Thomas
of this congressional district, as candidates
for examination for the cadetshp, and it
seems that young Baker, who was recon-
mended as alternate by Mr.. Thomas, proved
to be the better fitted of the two for the
honor of cadetship. He is certainly
worthy of the honor conferred upon him
and deserves congratulation.
