The School Boards of Towns.

letter received by ]. W. Holcombe, superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, from A. Nebeker,
superintendent of Warren county, makes the
following inquiry: "The Indianapolis Journal of
yesterday states that town school boards are
abolished, and that the town boards constitute
the town school boards By request 1 write to
ask you if there is anything in this"
The Journal stated in reply to an inquiry in
regard to the matter that there was no such
law, and that the statement referred to In the
foregoing was a communication from a member
>of the Legislature, which was given publication.
In reply to the inquiry Mr.. Holcombe
says: "Tn answer to your inquiry of the 5tb,
can say that on reading the paragraph in the
Journal in regard to the House bill No. 247, Sec
ton "a OF which provided that the members of
the board of town trustees should be ex-officio
school trustees OF the town, l carefully exam
ined the calendars OF both houses of the Generel
Assembly, and found that the bill passed the
House and was received by the Senate on March
I'd, but no action was taken upon it in the lat
ter body, 1t is deposited in the State library
among the bills that failed. The law on the sub
ject OF town schoolcorporations therefore remains
unchanged"

pointed number twenty-eighu, of

failed to pass the medical examination. Chief
OF Police Williamson announced at roll-call last
evening that the commissioners had informed
him that the new force would not begin work be-
fore the 18th of this month 1t is understood
that Mr.. Malott favors deferring the time until
the st OF next month, In order give all the
members OF the new force time to get the new
uniform which will be required, and have the
entire force appear in the new dress when
they enter upon their duties. The idea has much
to commend it to favorable consideration. The
commissioners will meet again this morning.

No More vinoennes Lottery.

For several days past the report has been cur
rent that a scheme was foot to reorganize
the Vincennes lottery and operate it an ex-
tensive scale. Mr.. Smith, one of the men inter-
ested in the old concern, yesterday stated posi-
lively to Journal reporter that the story was
untrue, and that no effort would could be
made to revive the lottery. He is in the city
settling up some business affairs, and his pres
ence here probably gave rise to the rumor re-
ferred to.

are beyond comparison. All carpet dealers keep
these remarkable goods, and the Walton trade
mark, with the word "Linoleum," is on the back
of every square yard of American make.

According to the Vienns Agrlcul-
tural Gazette, it has recently been
discovered that mesrschsum pipes. OF
excellent quality, susceptible OF the
highest polish. and even more readily
colorado than the genuine spima di
mare, may be made of potatoes. The
familiar tuber, it seems, is well quail
fled to compete with the substance
known to commerce as 'meerschaum
clay Its latent virtues in this direc-
ton are developed by the following
treatment: Having been carefully
peeled and suffered the extraction of
it's 'eyss," the potato is then boiled
unintermittently III a mixture OF sui
phuric acid and water for thirty SIX
hours, after which it must be squeez
ed in a press uutil every drop of the
natural or acquired moisture is ex-
tracted from it. The residum OF this
simple process is hard block Of
delicate creamy-white hue, every
whit as suitable to the manufacture OF
ornamental and artistically executed
pipe-he as the finest clay. The
potato, moreover, dealt With in the
manner above described, promises to
prove formidable rival to the ele-
plants tusk. 1t may be converted
into billiard balls as hard and smooth
and enduring as ivory, and can be de-
pended upon for an inexhsustible
supply of carved umbrella handles,
chessmen and fans. AS potatoes are
plentiful all over the world, and like.
ly to remain so, while elephants are,
comparatively speaking, rarities, man
kind at large may fairly be congrat-
nlated upon the discovery of a
substitute for ivory, which can be
produced In unlimited quantity. and
at almost a nominal cost, taking into
consideration the difference of price
between a pound of the best kidney
potatoes and pound of prime ele.
plants tusks.

Waltham, Aass.

This case is formed in one solid piece with

avoiding the usual Cap. and securing greater
strength and durability.
These Watches are all open face. The be-
eel, into which an extra strong crystal is fit
ted with an especially prepared water. proof
cement, is attached to the case by screwing it
thereon, aud thus forms an air-tight junction
with the body of the case, which is proof
against dust and moisture.
To railroad men, travellers, miners, lumber
mon and others who are almost constantly ex-
posed and who have to make frequent REFER
ence to the watch. these qualities are of the
