HOW TO WASH A BABY.
MISS Mary H0bart's Lecture
with q Live Baby AS an Illus
tfatIou.

With q Live Baby as an Illus
tration.
From the Chicago Herald.
Thirty women listened thirty min
utes last Saturday night, in the Frank
i'm Institute Philadelphia, to Miss
Mary Hobart, who told them GLOW to
Wash and Dress Baby" The Leo
ture was Illustrated The illustration
was kindly furnished by young
mother in the audience. 1t had a red
face, very bright eyes, wee bit of d
nose, and voice The lecturer fresh
faced, handsome woman, began by ex-
planning how to wash and dress new
born infant with out drowning it in
basin or causing it to burst BY tight
bandaglng. White CASTLE soap is the
proper thing to wash babe with said
she, and the water should be at tenn
perature Of 1000. The babe should
not be washed little at time. It's
head, face and ears should be attended
to first, and then the entire bodJ should
be immersed in the water.
The illustration was placed in a deep
basin filed with water, ard the illus
tration manifested its Misrepresentation
by howl. In drying the child, COR
tinued Miss Hobart, as she lifted the
squalling bit Of humanity out Of the
bath, do not rub the child much, but
pat it carefully until dry Rub its
back if you like--that pleases babe.
Then powder it with starch Of Bermu-
da arroWroot, and the squaller was lib
orally besprinkled with white pow
der. Some mothers, said the lecturer.
IN drying childs ear, dig it out in
this way. The illustration blinked its
eyes, pfokered up its mouth, and let
out q wild yell. Use soft rag wound
the little finger, and, as the action
suited to the word, the illustration
crowea gratofully' In dressing, went
on The peaker, the bandages should
be loose enough to slip two fingers I'M
derneath, and as the babe was deftly
turned on its stomach it grunted sat-
isticd grunt. Then came the ticklish
operation of pinniug the band--Miss
Hobart showed how to do it without
sticking the pin more than sixteenth
of an inch into tie baby's back, pro-
ceeding, she said, that nearly all in
fants objected to. The lecturer advis-
ed that where it was practicable and
could be done properly the broad lime
straps should be sewed and not pinned.
In putting on the babes socks, contin.
ued the protein mother, cleverly thrust
ing little pink foot into its woolly
covering, be careful about tootsey-woot-
sey's title toes. e don't like e title
toes all turned up, do'e7 and the illus
tration lifted up its voice and howled
a denial.
Miss Hobart then took small piece
ofrag and washed out the child's mouth
something, she said, that shoHld bo
done after each meal General advice
was then given on keeping The baby
away from a strong light; how to ham
die it properly, aud how to soothe it to
sleep when fretful The lecture was
concluded by a practical illustratioh
showing how to change the bed CLOTH
ing expediously and without discomfort
to the mother The babe, comfortably
dressed and growing with delight, was
handed back to its mother, and tie
audience dispersed.

CHICAGO, July 14.-A decision was
given by Judge Blodgett in the United
States District Court for the Northern
District Of Illinois yesterday which
provoked wide interest in its bearing.
In the early part OF the year 1876 the
electors OF the towns of Utica and
Deer Park, Illinois, held town meet
ings at which it was voted to borrow
money with which to build bridge
across the Illinois river, which formed
the boundary line between the two
towns. IN pursuance of this action
the highway commissioners of the
towns entered into a contract with the
Wrought Iron Bridge Company of
Pittsburg for the iron superstructure
Of the proposed bridge. The bridge
was completed according to contract
and the towns refused to pay. Suit was
instituted against the towns, but the
Supreme Court of Illinois decided
that the towns were not liable. A bill
was then filed by the bridge company
in the Federal Court asking to be
allowed to take and remove the bridge
on the ground that the company had
acted under a mistake of the law and
facts. Judge Blcdgett decided that
they were equitably entitled to this
relief and entered decree in the com
pany's favor to that effect, unless the
towns pay the amount claimed in
ninety days.

Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, of Col.

the past two or three days, and is a
guest Of the Lindell Hotel. For the
past several months Colonel Cooper
has been living in Mexico, where he
is largely interested in silver mines,
being a partner of Colonel Marshall
I. Polk, ex-Treasurer of Tennessee,
now under trial for embezzling some
$500, 600 Of that commonwealth mon
ey. Although Colonel Cooper is bust
ness partner of Folks he is by no means
connected with him in his official
capacity, and yet is appreheDsive
that he may, by some means or other,
be summoned to Tennessee as a wit
ness in the case Of the State against
Polk. Several weeks ago Captain
James Q. Fleming, formerly book
keeper and confidential clerk to Polk,
arrived in St. Louis, bronzed as an

of visit to Me5srs Cooper & Folks

A MOVEMENT has been inaugurated
to establish first class female college
at Knoxville. 1t is really strange
that place of such delightful situa-
ton, commercial importance, wealth
and refinement has not had an institu-
ton of this character long ago. The
leading men Of the city have
manifested a decided interest in
the enterprise, and it is likely
to assume practical shape and move
ment. The metropolis Of East Tennes-
see, happily situated midway between
the Mississippi and the Atlantic, the
Gulf and the Ohio, is the very place
for leading Southern female college,
and no better investment can be made.
1t would attract liberal patronage from
ell the cotton growing States.

Nashville Banner.

Nashville Banner.
Letters have been received at the
Oomptroller's Office lately. making
some startling developments as to the
neglect of duty by the County Court
clerks in collecting revenue in certain
counties, especially in East Tennessee.
A large number of County Court
clerks have failed to make reports to
the Comptroller of Collections for
1882, and in some instances they have
failed to report for two years bao.
The law requires all clerks to submit
their reports monthly, but for sop .
cause number have disregar6ed his
law entirely. Letters written 20
these clerks have failed 10 make
them more prompt, and Colonel
Plckard says he Is now determined N
enforce the law. In some oonnties N
East Tennessee information has hoan
received that the clerks were maI;Uu
no attempt whatever to collect taTes
from liquor dealers. In scmeinstsnces
when the clerks do report under NE
provisions Of TIE law, they fail entirely ely
70 collect taxes on liquor dealers, or at
least iall IA Feport their collections of
teiS revenue to the Comptroller, The
comptroller received a letter, this
morning, from a responsible party,
stating that the Hawking County
Court, at its last session, relieved ali
LIQUOR dealers from their county tag
This they had the right to do, but the
clerks nor the county courts have no
right to relieve the State tax on this
bnSl"ess, and the Comptroller ia pre-.
pairing to have the Law eeiOEcsd against
all clerks violating it.

Polk can dismiss one or two of his
lawyers now. Some awful bad man,
and there are lots of them around
Nashville, actually broke into the
Treasurer's Office night before last and
stole the bank books, check books, and
other books upon which the State re
lied for evidence to convict Polk
This is pretty state OF affairs. The
public mind has we'll nigh settled
down to the conclusion that there is
as much rottenness in Nashville to the
square acre as any other place in the
country. Two or three years ago a
bill about to pass on its third reading
in the Senate affecting the treasurer
Office was stolen and that was the enc
OF it. Time and again bills have beer
tempered with just before OIL

suit the rings that swarm abOut
the capital. The trial O.

law may be doing their utmost, but

about as much danger of going t.
