 Wisconsin man makes complaint in the columns of the New York Tribune. which deserves attention. He has a son and a daughter who go to school They have studied American history in the common school course. In talking with them the other day. he found them lamentably igno- rant of the causes that led up to the civil war. He got hold of their text books and studied them over himself It was right there that the trouble lay. In making text books for the whole country, publishers have eliminated everything that might offend the Southern people. Consequently they have eliminated much that was history, pure and simple. He found in one book four pages devoted to Lee and one page to Grant. In the readers used in our schools there is an absence of quotation from the great speeches
 
 at which he was surprised. He thinks that the young, in the absence of instruction, will come to think after time that the South has been abused. There is sense in this. The histories used in the schools should be fair ones.
 The Potter bill, now before the Ways and Means committee, proposes to refund the bonded debt at 1-2 per cent. interest, to reduce taxation upon circulation, and to secure the currency against unnecessary disturbance and fuctuation. This bill has been referred to Secretary Folger for criticism, and although he has not yet given his opinion the opinions of several officers who have examined the bill are in his hands. Their criticisms are directed against the first. second and sixth sections and they seem sound, The first section provides for the exchange of 3 per cent. bonds into 1-2 per cents, payable at the pleasure of the govern ment. the latter to bear the same numbers as the 3's exchanged, and, when called, that they shall be paid in the same order as the 3's for which they are to be substituted. The criticism on this section Is that there is no inducement for the holders of per cent. bonds to reduce their revenue to 24 per cent interest," both alike being subj ect to call; that the substitution of numbers would throw the accounts of the department into insxtricabIe confusion, destroying the sequence in num- bers in classes that now exist, and making it l dificnlt to calculate interest or handle calls The second section provides for funding the l Fs and 44's into 21 per cent. bonds, but l makes no extension of time. As the differ l encs in interest is to be paid by the govern | nent in the said exchange, the government l gains nothing. The sixth section is pro- noupced awkward. It provides for the pay l nent of tax upon circulation by system of | 1eduction from the interest paid on bonds held to secure the notes.

France has society for bettering the com dition of women, and 1t has made an excellent move. In all the leading news- papers of the country it is publishing an ad- dress to ssthe President of France and mem- bers of the couneil of ministers" expressive of the profound sorrow by which the wo-
 men of the land are animated in view of the present warlike attitude of the government. The prospect of war in the far Eastt hey regard with terror, as it presages a general contiagra- ton which would be out of all proportion to the advantages that could accrue. War, they ssy, is not foreordained andinevitable thing, it is caused by the will of man and is flag rant violation of human rights. 'Itsurely is the part of France" they add, ''once the gener- ous and intelligent leader of human progress, to find in international arbitration an honor able and pacific means of staying the effu- sion of blood.'' After specifying its de-

The capture of thief under very excep- tional circumstances is reported from Paris He contrived to gain admission into set of chambers during the absence of the law ful occupant, and proceeded to lay hands on every thing of value he could find. In the midst of this operation it occurred to him that his wardrobe was in urgent need of re. newal, and he therefore took of his clothes with view of replacing them by others he found in the room. Scarcely, however, had he reduced himself of the garb of primitive man when he heard step outside, and promptly hid himself under the bed. Some one entered the room, and the thief lay noiseIess for several minutes. At length the newcomer departed and, he ventured to leave his hiding place. But, much to his disgust, he discovered that the visitor had been gentleman in his own way of business for not only was everything in the chambers carried of, but even his owR suit of clothes had disappeared! He was therefore com- pelIed to await the return of the owner of the property. who handed him over to the police.

The biennial sessions amendment which hes been pending in the legislature of Massa- chusetts failed to obtain the necessary two- thirds vote in the house. The vote was 139 to 87, or twelve less than two-thirds the number voting. It was almost strict party vote. But this failure by no means kills the matter. We believe that it is sure to prevail in Massachusetts Rs well as in Connecticut.

The simplest patent on record at the Pat ent office originated in this way: Some one conceived the idea of pasting 8 piece of thread under the inclosing flap of an envel- ope. the object being that the recipient of a letter, by taking hold of the end of the thread, could tear the envelope open neatly and in an instant. This plan did not meet with much success, as the end of the thread was gener- ally twisted out of place and hard to find, which fact led some genius to tie a knot in the end of the thread and to patent the knot
