rAKING CARE OF THE BOYS.

The Madison Square Presbyterian church
in New York has set forth scheme which
has practical touch of genuine reform about
it. 1t has established club room for boys
where they can go and read, play games,
enact dramas, and have all kinds of inno-
cent physical and intellectual enjoyment.
This plan affords great relief to parents, for
the restless, rowing disposition of boys which
impels them to be always on the go, culling
information from this and gathering fun
frolt that object, makes them perpetual
source of uneasiness to the parental mind.
To keep boy constantly under the parental
eye and not allow him any liberty makes him
a stupid paragon or sullen malcontent. 1t
has been very wisely said it takes statesmen
to govern nations and saints to control boys.
The Boston Globe claims that the Madison
Square scheme is no new thing in Boston.
The Globe says: ION Howard street there
is home for newsboys and bootblacks
that has been in successful operation for
several years. In this the boys are permitted d
to play checkers and other games. Many Of
them pass their time in boxing over the bet
ter class of illustrated papers or in reading
books. The library is selected for the pur-
pose of interesting the boys without catering
to deprayed appetite for sensation. Some
Of the little fellows are well-read in current
literature. The plan works well here and
there is no reason why it should not prove a
success in New York 1t is a pity there are
not more of similar nature in all our large
cities"

THE BLOODTHIRsTT SCHOOL TEACH.
ER NOT WANTED

People who have been disposed to con-
demu the jury system will have confidence
in the system restored by the verdict of the
Nebraska jury which awarded 81, 900 dam
ages to sparent whose eight-year-old daughter
had been fiogged in the public school. Public
sentiment against the iniiction OF corporal
punishment in the schools is being aroused
everywhere, aud this relic Of bsrbarism must
step down aud out. The teacher who cannot
make bis influence felt upon unuly boys and
girls without beating or bruising them is
hardly fit to be q teacher. There are plenty
Of influences beside the stick to restrain dis
obedient children, aud IL nothing but the
rod win answer for punishment then let the
child be sent home and let the parent do the
thrsshing. In some states the laws provide
for bringing obstinate and recalcitrant pupils
before the police magistrates The sentiment
of this age is against the blOodthirstF =e5ool
teacher, and hogging in the pUolic schools
must be abolished There is so1ething about
It that is offensive TO self-iespect, degrading
in its tendency aud perverfs the moral na-
tire of children. The practice is an outrage
upon all the finer feelings that animate the
spirit Of youth All praise. then, to the Ne
brzsks jury that has set lis seal OF eondem-
nation upon fogging ss punishment for
school children

Gen. Henry r. Jackson Of Georgia, the newl
appointed minister to Mexico, is fond of writir
poetry, we give below some stanzas written
him during the Mexican war
The tattoo beats; the lights are gone;
The camp around in slumber lies;
The night with solemn pace moves on;
The shadows thicken o'er the skies; :
But sleep my weary eyes hath flown,
And sad. uneasy thoughts arise.
/ think of thee, oh. dearest one!
Whose love mine early life hath best;
Of thee aud him-our baby son
Who slunbers on thy geptie breast
God Of the tender, frsil and lone,
Oh, guard that little sleeper's rest
And hover, gently hover near
To her whose watchful eye is wet
The mother, wife-the doGbly dear,
in whose young heart have freshly met
Two streams Of love, so deep and clear,
And cheer her dropping spirit yet,
Now, a. she kneeIs before Thy throne,
Oh. teach her, Ruler Of the skies!
That while by Thy behest alone
Earth's mightiest powers fan or rise;
No tear Is vept to Thee unknown,
Nor hair IS lost, nor sparrow dies;
That Thou e&nsf stay the ruthless hand
OF dark disease, and soothe its pain;
That only by Thy stern command
The battles lost. the solder slain;
Tha. from the distast sea or IAnd
Thou bring 81 the vsuterer home again.
And when upon her pillow lone,
Her tear-we; cheek Is szdly pressed,
Nay happier visions besm upcB

THBuWINNEBAoO RESERTArToN

The settlers on the winnebago reservation,
5000 strong, are protesting vigorously to
President CLEVELAND against the vacation
of his predecessors order opening the same
to settlement. They claim in petition that
they have made improvements on their
homesteads and put in crops on the faith
that an executive order would not be re-
scinded, aud that to dispossess them now
would work hardship on many people who
had fought for their country; and they make
strong showing that they are In no event
trcSpassers on the rights aud privileges Of
tae Indians, who vet have 500 acres each,
when they eau only secure 100 by making
the land productive. And they also show
that there is no game in that section Of the
territory, aud might have added that the In
diaus themselves make no use whatever Of
the lands, but this important fact they appear
10 have overlooked. In conclusion they de-
clare that they wiz not vacate their new
homes unless dispossessed by the military
force Of the government This arm Of the
service President CLEVELAND is not likely 10
invoke, as the president is fair man and
predisposed to look at such case from the
equity side OF It.

THE TALUE OF THE FAST MAIL
SERVICE

Our New York exchanges are jubilant over
the opening of the new fast mail service be-
tween that city and st. Louis, and with New
York's characteristic habit of measuring the
value of everything by dollars and cents they
have commenced figuring on the saving that
is to be effected by the change. On the
Pennsylvania road the time between New
York and st. Louis is shortened twenty-nine
hours. 1t is neatly calculated that in the
saving of time over the old schedule the
business men will realize q cash value of
$50, 900 annually. Then again they figure
out that in the amount of business transacted
between the two cities by mail the interest
on drafts in transit is reduced by one day,
and will be an additional saving in round
numbers of $40, 900 year. This makes an
aggregate of 500, 900 annually of = clear gain
to the two cities, to say nothing Of the con-
veuience of the new schedule. What sur
prises US is that the New York financiers
should stop here when there is so much
wealth yet untouched by them. 1t is not
often that New York brokers stop short
when there is anything in sight but
in this case they have uudershot
the mark by several inches. For
instance, they have made no estimate of
what is saved in the way of travelling ex-
peuses. We will suppose that during year
100, 900 passengers pass over the line. In
the twenty-nine hours three additional meals
would be required, which, at 75 cents 8
meal would be an annual saving of $225,
600. Then there would be saving in the
price of 100000 sleeping berths for one
night, which would be another $500, 900.
The quarter each passenger Is expected to
tip the porter with makes another Sos, COO.
There is an aggregate of $3.50, 600, and when
you discount the amount paid out by railroad
passengers in one day for peanuts, popcorn,
candy aud papers, the amount would soon
swell up to over half million. How In the
world this half q million escaped the eagle
eyes of the New York calculators is mys-
tery. 1t must be indeed that Wall street is
stricken with judicial blindness when il
loses sight Of dollar.

MLsSOURI,s RURIED CITY.

A strang story comes up from Missouri. At
Moberly in that state some workmen at the
bottom of a coal shaft 800 feet below the
surface came upon buried city arched in by
hard and thick stratum OF lava. The streets
are regularly laid out and enclosed by walls of
stone, which is cut and dressed in fairly
good although rude style of masonry. A hall
30x100 feet was discovered wherein were
stone benches and tools of all descriptions
for mechanical service. Further search dis
closed statues and images made of compost
ton closely resembling bronze but lacking
luster. OF course curiosity was aroused to
ascertain what kind Of people dwelt in this
strange city buried for centuries beneath the
earth's surface. With good deal of diff
finally succeeded in reaching spot where
stone fountain was found in wide court or
street, and from it a stream of perfectly
pure water was flowing, which upon
being tested was found to be strongly i'm
pregnated with lime. Lying beside the
fountain were portions Of the skeleton of a
human being and from measurement of the
bones it was concluded that when alive the
figure was three times the size of an ordinary
man and possessed Of wonderful muscular
power and quiokness. The implements found
in the city embrace bronze and flint knives,
stone and granite hammer S, metallic saws
of rude workmanship but proved metal, and
others of similar character. They are not so
highly polished nor so accurately made as
those now finished by our best mechanics,
but they show skill and an evidence Of an
advance civilization.
The searching party spent twelve hours
in the depths, and only gave up explorations
because Of the oil in their lamps being low.
These facts are vouched for by the recorder
of the city of Moberly and the city marshal,
who were of the exploring party. The story,
if true, is singular, and if not true is a yarn
that would have done credit to Missouri in
the pal miest days of her romancing.
