Babyhood: With painful frequency
we hear of cruel practical jokes'' per-
petrated upon little children. Again
and again comes to US the old story of
a child frightened into commissions by a
a playfellow who "only wanted to have
little fun" One would think that in
cidents like this had been enacted and
told with CHASTITY iteration often enough
from generation to generation TO
warn off the most incorrigible
fun lovers and fools from
the perilous ground. The progress of
the witless plot is generally the same up
to certain point There Is neither
originality nor variety in the favOrite
mode of execution. 1t sounds trite in
the telling. A figure wrapped in the
conventional sheet, lurking in a dark
corner; a spring upon the unsuspectinp
victim, selected because he is the mos
timorous OF delicate of the family
or school; dismaY, shrieks of an
gulsh blenl with goblin laugh
ter-then difference in the
ending. Sometimes no apparent
harm is done, unless that one child il
made more timid, another more cruel.
Again, the nervous system is unbalanced
so far that a swoon, or, as in the case be
fore US, commissions, ensue. Once in {
while the innocent subject of the practi
cal joke paws for his tormentor's prank
with his reason or his life. In less
fragrant manner Incalculable mischief il
done in many nurseries by tales of
ghosts, bogIes, the black man who comes
down the chimney to catch children who
will not go to slesp quietly, etc. Thai
mother is q culpable who. when she finds
her child uuduly timid, does not watch
narrowly tor indications that the nerv-
GUS organism of her offspring has been
tempered with, and who. should her sus
picions be confirmed, does not follow

THE NEW POSTAL LAWS.

Important changes In the postal laws
take place July l, 1885. The following
are the ones of principal interest:
First-The weight OF all single rate
letters is increased from one-haIT ounce
each or fraction thereof to one ounce
each or fraction thereof. The same in.
crease of weight Is allowed for drop let
ters, whether mailed at stations where
there Is free delivery or where carrier
service or free delivery is not estab-
lished.
Second-All newspapers sent from the
Office of publication, including sample
copies, or when sent from q news agency
TO actual subscribers thereto, shall be
entitled to transmission at one cent per
pound or fraction thereof, the postage to
be prepaid, This is q reduction of one
halt from existing rates.
Third-Any article in u newspaper or
other publication may be marked for
observation, except by written or printed
words, without increase of postage.
FOurth-Tbat special stamp of the
value of ten cents may be issued, which,
when attached to a letter, In addition to
the lawful postage thereon, shall entitle
the letter TO immediate delivery at any
place containing 1000 population or
over, according to the federal census,
within the carrier limit of any free deliv-
cry office, or within one mile of the post
office, or within one mile of the postOi-
fee, or any other postoffice coming with.
in the provisions of this law, which may,
in like manner, be designated as a
special delivery office; that such speci-
ally stamped letters shall be delivered
between O'Clock q. m. and midnight
that book shall be provided in which
the person to whom the letter is address
ed shall acknowledge its receipt; that
messengers for this special delivery are
to be paid so per cent of the face value
of all the stamps received and recorded
in a month, provided that the aggregate
compensation paid to any one person for
such service shall not exceed $50 per
month and provided, further. that the
regulations for the delivery of those
specially stamped letters shall in no way
interfere with the prompt delivery of let
tiers as provided by existing law and reg
ulations.
These are all the provisions of the
new law which make changes in rela-
ton to postage. The government has
doubled the weight which may be car.
ried for two cents, has reduced the pos
tage one-hAlf on newspapers sent from
publication offices, and has provided
that letter, for ten cents additional

NEW ORLEANS, May % "A curious
ending was reported yesterday to the

from being outraged by these men. In
the trial of Dr. Henckett for the murder

It is the opinion OF the writer Of /

1t is the opinion of the writer Of this
paragraph that the dismissal Of Miss
Kate Stephens from the Greek chair Of
the University of Kansas was most I'M
warranted and uncalled for and that the
action of the Board of Regents in this
matter was unworthy OF 50
learned e body. Perhaps we are
ignorant of some of the circumstance
but the regents do not seem to be will
ing to state any reason for the strange
proceeding. To old and staunch friends
of the University, many Of whom have
known Miss Stephens for twelve year.
past, her dismissal seems mos
unjust and at variance with the best IN
terests Of the department over which shG
presided with such signal devotion AND
capacity. A dozen years since MIS-
Stephens was conceded by Greek
scholars to be one of the very best
in her specially, and a most cul.
ured lady In all that pertains
to culture. Since then Miss Stephens
has more than ever devoted herself espe.
cially to the Greek language and litera
ture. Since graduating with the great.
est honor in that same University she
took the master degree with learned
thesis upon Grecisn subject. She Wis
tied Europe in the interests of her chosen
study and for years past has filed the
Greek chair in the University with
the utmost credit and TO the entire
satisfaction of hundreds of students
eager to learn of the riches of the Greei
store houses of learning. Miss Stephens
Is thorough typical Kansas woman o
the highest type, and nothing of thu
kind has so panied the writer as the in
formation received of her dismissal, anC
that seemingly without just cause.
