A JUST SENTENCE.-In Richmond, Va,
last Christmas, William Lucas INDUCED in
the horrible amusement of taking a boy II
years old into groggery and there giving
him as much bad whisky as he could drink.
The poor boy swallowed nearly three-fourths
of pint of the poison, from the effects of
which he soon died. Lucas was arrested at
the time, was subsequently indicted and his
trial has just taken place. The defense
showed that Lucas did not maliciously nor
vindictively give the boy the whisky, and
that the object of the prisoner was "little
fun" The jury, however, found Lucas
guilty, and he was sentenced to serve nine
years in the Penitentiary.

Dublin Irccman's Journal
The everyday Executive of Ireland
consists of an English viceroy and
ENGLISH chief secretary, Scotchuudcr-
secretary, an English assistant under
secretary. with an Orange Irish coad-
tutor. The English lord lieutenant of
Ireland has the privy couucil-thc
privy council of Ireland. The title at
least is Irish. but the privy council of
ireland is a much Irish aS the Castle
system is constitutional. The consti-
tuition of the body is as follows:
Two Protestant archbishops, one an
Engi,hman, aged seVenty-siX. and th2
other an Irish Tory, aged eighty-two;
two cX-Irish chancelOrs, nine English
men who have at some time or other
during the century been chief secrctar-
les for Ireland, and three eX-command-
ers of the forces in ireland. There are
also seven peers. of whom four at least
are pronounced Tories, four Irish non
official commoners, who ought to know
the country, for they are all rejected
parliamentary candidates, couple of
heads of Irish offices and several Irish
! judges.

Bavarian Is. er-Drinkers.
London Daily News.

London Daily News.
From the report of MIR. Cope, British
Secretary of Legation at Munich, it ap-
pears that the Old antagoni,m between
the fiscal authorities and the brewers
and drinkers of the national beverage
is still in full force. Much stress is
laid upon the hardships of the new
malt tax on the land owners, who gre
mostly holders Of brewerics, and who.
ike land owners elsewerc, are suffering
from agricultural depression. I'm view
OF these circumNtanc, the Chambers
at first refused to giant an extension
of the tax for more than three months:
but in consequence of the diiiculty of
meeting the financial deficit in any
other way they have since been com
PEELED TO yield, and have voted this inn
post down to the end Of the present
year. From comparative table OF
the beer taxes of different countries
compiled by MIR. Cope it appear that
Bavarian beer drinkers are. after all.
better of in this respect than their Eng
lish brethren, though worse OF than
their German neighbors. The total Of
such imrOsts ON each hcctoltre Of beer
is estimated to be in most parts of
North Germany equal TO Is. while h
Bavaria it is IS. and in England D. Gd.
In Austria it is even rs much aS IS 3D..
while in Italy it i, os Gd. and in Nor
way, in which sober country the beer
axes attain maximum, it is Gs 5d.

In n statistical abstract Of TIE
United States just published, are to
hc found some curious and interesting
figures of the public schools during
1881. The total school population of
this country was l5.74Gll6. while the
number of scholars enrolled in the pub
lie schools was only 9,S54.547, or not
quite two-thirds. The average daily
attendance showed n much larger fail
inc of. bcinq only 5.66l, 5jS. In other
words. only one child in three attend
ed the public schools in 1881.
Some of the absentees were, of
course. educated in private insttu-
tions, but by far the largest part must
be attributed to those VINO got no
school education at all the children
of the poor who are sent into mills or
put to other employment at an early
age. 1t is to be noticed, however, that
the school age varies widely. Thus in
Alabama it is from to 2i, ana twen-
ty-four other states and territories
make 81 the limit. although they differ
i'm the are at which they require chill
dren to begin to 90 to school.
Thus Connecticut, Maine, Oregon,
Wisconsin, Montana, Washington and
Florida fix four years as The starting
point. Texas has the shortest time,
only six years, from $ to II. MaSsa-
chuset;s sets the limits between and
10. Connecticut between 4 and lG,
Utah between and Is, and New Jer
,ey between and *. In Pennsylva-
mia the school age is from to y The
average duration of school also varies
considerably. North Carolina has the
shortest school term of 4S days; Ala
bama and South Carolina have 80:
Mississippi's is G8, Tennessee's 20,
Texas u, and West Nirginia's SO.
Thus all these states where education
is most sadly needed devote only a
small part of the year TO it. The Dis
trict of Columbia and New Jersey
have the longest term-of 100 days;
next in point of length comes Rhode
! Island with lS6 and Connecticut with
$50. Massachusetts and New York
stand high with 178 and Wisconsin is
near with 175 6. Pennsyiya1,ia's term
is 146 SO days. Pennsylvania leads

An Old Mt~>-s.ippi shinplastcr.

We have in our possession probably
the oldest Mississippi "shinplastcr"
now in existence. 1t is printed ON
ordinary white newspaper, headed
"Natchez-M Mississippi Territory. The
body of the bill is in the shape of a
due bill, and reads, due the bearer
on Demand, fifty cents. payable in
Mississippi or Louisiana notes. 1t is
signed by Henry c. Johnson, and dated
Nov. 10, 1916. On the margin is Il
large figure 4, which probably means
that the bill represents four "bitts.
The years Immediately succeeding the
close of the war with Great Britain
were years of financial depression, and

were as hard run for silver currency as
their descendants have been on more
| than one occasion.

The Peril Of Bangles.

Bangle-wearing is again becoming
fashionable. Young ladies' arms TT
beginning to look more than ever like
the arms of malefactors loaded with fet-
tiers. Charles, Albert, Willis, Fred,
James, Harry. Aleck, BERTHE, Dewitt
and Chrissy are besieged more vigor-
ously than of old for every coin from a
five-cent silver piece to a golden eagle.
with their monographs engraved there
on, to add TO bracelets and necklaces.
The reviving passion for bangles is
probably innocent enough in itself. But
it has been the a of leading an
honest tradesman to the very thresh-
old of the State Prison, and of plung-
ing a worthy and affectionate family
into grief.
An Industrious and enterprising Yam
kee in Massachusetts,, marking the
growing passion, conceived the idea
that it would be just the thing to sup
l,ly the beleaguered SWANS with a cheap
imitation of ~five-dollar gold pieces, on
which they might have their initials en-
graved for presentation to their fair
suppliants. So he had a die made after
the pattern of a five-dollar coin, struck
off a number of metal pieces, and care
fully plated them with gold until they
looked the counterpart of SO many coins
fresh from the mint. just as he was
prepared to put them On the market it
was suggested to him that he might be
favored with a visit from the police
and a trial before a United States Court.
