DR.. jacob, who has made this a spe-
cial study, concludes that, as a rule, a
child should not be sent to school be-
fore he is eight years old. Not till this
age is its brain substance sufficiently
developed. An infants brain is soft.
1t contains a large percentage of water.
1t is deficient in fat and phosphorus,
On which, to a great extent, intellect
ual activity depends. The convolutions
are fewer. The different parts of the
brain do not grow in size and weight
alIke-the normal proportion of the
front, back and lateral portions not
being reached before the age Of ten. So
too the normal proportion Of the chest

attained until the eighth year, while

and upward and the anterior portion

eighth year that the due proportion of

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WAsnINGroN, ID. c., Sept. 90, "a.
The retirement of Commissioner
Dudley from the Pension Once On the
10Th of November, will be hailed with
eminent satisfaction by all who believe
that the affairs Of the Pension Office
canbe more satisfactorily administered.
Mi. Dudley's management has brought
the Office three years behind In its bus
mess, although he has had an army OF
clerks, and the expense Of running his
office for a single year has amounted
TO $3.50 900. The fact that applications
for pensions filed as long ago as 1882
are Just beginning to be reached in
their order, shows u want Of system or
discipline or both, which can be readily
supplied by some one who has o better
appreciation of his official duties. IL
the administration carries out its ideas
OF Civil Service Reform with sincerity.
Major Clark, the present Assistant
Commissioner, with advanced ideas
upon Il proper pension system, would
and should receive the appointment.

Sitting from October to May, these
judges dispose Of about three hundred
cases, while the number Of new cases
that it will encounter at the opening OF
the session next month will be upwards
of 400, thus throwing its work back
still another year. Thrice has the Sen
ate passed a bill looking TO the relief OF
the court, by reducing the number OF
| appeals and comforting increased juris-
dIction upon inferior courts, but the
House has each time failed to reach
the bills though the Speakers table
was loaded with petitions praying fol-
| action upon them. Under the present
right of appeal, this, The highest trib'

That Fraud, tho Detective.
Ma, YarE Tt,,i,,


Tho story of Eno's arrest shows what on
utter humbug the detective is, and the pri-
vate detective most of oil At tho time of tho
first search tho detectives wero Convinced"
he was in the house, whom, as o matter of
fact he was in Canada or on his way there.
A day or two aCtorward they missed" him,
and wired" their correspondents to look out
for him. Eno's affidavit shows that tho first
information came from the Montreal officers,
and was not sent to them. However, the
detective, especially the private variety, can
see barn door when it is shown him, and he
telegraphed back to arrest, not Emo, but
Hinckley, whom he supposed to be in Canada,
and who is probably therefore in Mexico.
Emo, says this Dogberry, chad changed his
appearance somewhat" which makes it ap-
pear how difficult this thief was to catch !;
but the Montreal dispatch says that Emo was
first suspected from his resemblance to his
portrait. There was Just ono moro blunder
possible, aud il was made-the warrant,
which was warrant for Hinckley and not
for Emo, was served OH the fugitives COM
panion, man in priestly garb, who was
assumed to be disguised, but who really was
priest, and guilty of nothing except keep
ing bad company. Upon the whole, it seems
to us that If the private detective Is moro
silly at one time than at another it is when
he is exploiting his owlsh wisdom. Emo was
then arrested upon warrant charging him
with breach of Canadian laws in bringing
| stolen money into tho Dominion, which is
| not an extradtable otfense.

DYSPEPSIA.

Selentary habits, mental worry, nervous
excitement, excess or imprudence in cat
ing or drinking, and various other causes,
induce Constipation followed by general
arrangement of the liver, kidneys, and

organ increases the intlrmity of the others.
The immediate results are Loss of Appe-
tite, Nausea, Foul Breath, Heartburn, Flat
ulence, Dizziness, Sick Headaches, failure
of physical and mental vigor, distressing
sense of weight and fullness in the stomach,
and increased Costiveness, all Of which ara

Grosvenor is a gentleman of distinguished
ability and spotless character, and in dis
trict which is naturally Republican by more
than 5000 majority he can scarcely fail to
receive such hearty support from our vet
Grams, irrespective of politics, as to make his
election a foregone conclusion. What the

war for the Union, I propose at this time, as
the next question that shall come up on this
bill, to ascertain whether the declaration of
the Republican party in convention assembled
on the Sd day of the current month is to be
carried out in good faith or not. intend to
ask vote in this body upon the declaration
in that platform whether or not the Repub-
hcan party believes, and will so act, as to
remove the limitation contained in the act
of 1879 granting arrears, and so legislate
that all pensions shall commence from the
discharge or date of disability, and not from
the time when the application is made"
The Senate adjourned however, without
any vote being taken ON the amendments,
and the whole matter has since then been
turned over to the consideration of COM
mittee appointed by the Republican caucus.
The impression seems to be gaining ground
in Congress that to adjourn the session with
out first enacting some pension measure of
positive benefit to our ex-soldiers would be
an act of great imprudence, to say the least.
in view of the manifest uncertainty as to
what our ex-soldiers might " do about it."
