Cornoral punishment was abolished in the
public schools of this city several years ago,
but in Brooklyn it is practsod still. youth
on whom rattan had been used yesterday
had the offending school principal in court on
a charge of assault. The justice found that the
Penal Code permits a teacher to use reasonable
force and violence for restraint and correctloh'
and dismissed the charge. There Is something
of barbarity in corporal punishment DuC no
one can deny that it is eifectual IN some cases
where no other means Of coercion seems 10
avail.

which will follow can well be afforded. lie
feels sure that this treaty will be the means of
opening ND markets for our goods in Central

The prices of orchestra chairs and oysters re-
main so firIa under all circumstances that they
might almost be taken as new standards OF
value, if gold and silver ever should become
worthless for that purpose. The present hard
times have affected the cost of nearly all other
Injuries but the cost of these has not yielded.
Not that the theatres themselves are as well
patronzed as formerly, for the attendance this
winter and last has been decidedly lighter; but
the managers at the leading play-houses Will
not alter their schedules. The subject has re-
Gently excited some discussion among theatre
gOcrs, and many of our readers therefore will
be interested in what certain we'll known man
ayers have to say elsewhere III this paper.

A dispatch from st. Petersburg indicates that
the Russian peasants have just achieved a
notable victory. The Minister of the Interior
q proposition to the Imperial
Council prohibiting the heads of peasant
families from dividing their lands among the
male members. The prohibition was designed
to prevent the peasants from increasing their
representation in the Common Councils, and
otherwise strengthening themselves politically.
1t was rejected by the Imperial Council. Even
in Russia the cause of the people makes some
progress. This victory of the peasants is
valuable more for what it promises than for
what it actually confers. 1t shows that the
eaven of liberal ideas is working in the
Russian Governmental lump.
