Discipline in Russian Schools.


 The proposal to reintroduce whipping into Russian schools has done something more than send thrill of indignant excitement through the teaching classes Of this country. It reveals weakness in department of State to which the public have always been led to attribute exceptional strength and efficiency. That national system of education should fail on the disciplinary side is . strange ex- perience In land which has for centuries been associated with the use, or misuse, of the knout; yet this is practically the comics sion that is made by the highly-placed peda- gogues who are nov zealously urging on the Minister of Public Instruction the value of the rod as 8 means of education. Appear ances are certainly not Tn favor of the view that there is any serious lack of discipline in the middle and elementary schools of the empire. To judge by it's regulations, the gymnasium, for example, is quite model of strictness. and propriety. The scholar is kept in order by rules from the very outset of his educational career in one of these es- tablishments. There are rules regulating his attendance at church and his behavior dur ing divine services rules showing him when he is to have holidays and when to return from them under what pretexts he may for sake his class, and with what diligence he must make up for time lost during illness; rules fixing his behavior to his teachers in and out of school hours and 8 variety of other rules inculcating politeness, honesty, truth, carry r1s1ng, 0c. heIaXRtlon 1uust Oo indulged in carefully; amusement he cannot have at all if it can only take the form of theatrical representations harmful to the moral sentiments" Masquerades he must not visit, nor must he enter the wine-cellar, the coffee tavern, or the confectioners shop. He is held to cleanliness of person and for
 bidden to smoke tobacco or drink spirits.
 Long hair is an abomination with the school
 authorities, and if the pupil has unwittingly
 encouraged the growth of beard, he can
 only hope to escape punishment by timely
 visit to the barber's shop. Ornament of all
 kinds, in fact, is forbidden, and so into the ' same category with the unnecessary" beard are thrust the unnecessary ring, walking S stick and eyeglass. Saluting the Emperor
 when met in the street is provided for by 8 very strict regulation, the observance of I which has fallen into desuetude of late years
 rather owing to want of opportunity than
 lack of will. Of course the scholar has a | uniform. This is indispensable. It teaches | the military idea how to shoot, and it gives ! material assistance to the police, who are ! empowered to enforce the regulations pro- ! hibitins the visits of students to masquerade | balls, wine-csllars and other objectionable places of resort.

Judge Deming dismissed the boys James McNamara James Burnham, Miles Hart, An toni Boltz and John Reilly, who were arrest ed Sunday afternoon for breaking the Sab- bath by playing quoits, after giving them severe reprimand.
 The case of Elmer F. Culver, charged with neglecting to support and beating his wife, came up in the City court yesterday, but was continued till next Friday, the counsel for the accused stating that he was unable to go on with the case. The parties in the suit are Fair Haveners and are well connected. The facts in the case seem to be that about year ago Culver met Miss Irwin of Bal timore at the house of her sister, Mrs Andrew Granniss of Fair Haven east, and in three weeks the two were en- gagged. The young mans parents did not favor the match, so they were secretly mar ried. The marriage soon became known and affairs went on smoothly for while. But Mrs. Culver finally told 8 friend that her bus band was iIl-treating and neglecting her. She claims that her husband has been using her shamefully. The case is attracting good of attention

The AnsOnta StabbIng Amray-John and
 William Lodged in the County Jail.
 The stabbing affray in Ansonia at Osborn S Cheeseman's, between the three brothers Morris, was worse than at first reported , The three brothers came from South Britain William and James worked at the factory and John, who still lives in South Britain, came down Friday with his mother and load of vegetables and stopped for the night with James, who has family. That night John and William got on spree and stayed out. Next morning James remonstrated with John, tslling him if he couldn't keep sober when visiting him to stay away. They had some hot words and parted in no amiable mood. William went to work and James went to the shop followed by John. Soon af- terward John tackled James and commenced abusing him. The two clenched, and John was thrown by James and the two went down, James upper most, when John or, as some think, William, who came to the rescue, drew -bladed jacknife and plunged it into James right side, the blade penetrating between the ribs, inches. William got the two apart, when James seized an iron pipe and was about striking at the other brothers, when he was seized. Dr. Blodgett was sent for, and after considerable trouble dressed the wound, which bled profusely. The two brothers were arrested and taken before Justice Gard ner. They were bound over in $500 bonds each, in default of which they were brought | to the county jail in this city.

THE LAND QUESTION.

A recent article in the Nation contains
some remarkable statements respecting our
land grant system and the land question gen
orally. This journal, though somewhat
oracular in its tone, has generally been re-
garded as well informed, trustworthy and in
dependent; but we fear its character is likely
to suffer by the editorial services of Carl
Schurz. In the art icle referred to the state
ment is made that our land grant system was
inaugurated in 1850, under the Administra-
ton of President Pierce; but Mr.. Fillmore
was the President, and Pierce was not inau-
gurated till March. 1853 The Nation says
our land grants began with the passage of the
bill introduced by Mr.. Douglass, and that
the Democrats are therefore responsible for
whatever evils to the country have resulted;
but the truth is that the bill OF Mr..
Douglass was passed under Wing
Administration, and was voted for
by Wings Democrats and Freesoilers. The
Nation saws there is now no question before
the people respecting Immigrants. and no
LAND question. This is very surprising
statement aud we think could only have
found its way into the columns OF that pa
per through the brain of its new editor.
whose administration OF the Interior Depart
ment his provoked so much criticism, Let
us refer to few significant facts. The grant
made to the Texas Pacific Railroad covered
an area of more than 1900, eco acres; but
not an acre has been earned by the road, and
the whole of it has been forfeited Nothing
is wanting to restore it to settlement but an
act OF Corg 'ess declaring the forfeiture. But
Congress has thus far failed IN its duty, while
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company is
seeking to gobble up and appropriate to its
own use the whole OF the grant, under
contract made with the defaulting and de-
funct Company to which the grant was
originally made. This scheme of whole
sale and barefaced robbery of the Govern
ment seems likely to be successful,
and can only be defeated b. Congress; and
yet the Nation says there is no question be-
fore the people respecting land grants. Kim
bred observations apply to the grant made
to the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Com
pany covering more that 100000 acres
only 125 miles of the line of which were
built within the time required by the grant
ing act; leaving 2, l0l miles to be built. OF
course about 100000 acres of the grant
have been forfeited, by failure to comply
with its conditions, and the duty congress
to declare this forfeiture and restore the
lands to actual settlement is now question
before the people. The grant to the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company covered an
area OF over IS, 900, 900 acres. The length OF
the main line of the road is
2,279 miles, of which only 53l
were built within the time required by the
grant, leaving 1850 miles uncompleted. and
nearly 100000 Of the grant legally forfeited
and rightly belonging to settlers under the
presumption and homestead laws. Aud yet
