Over.preSsure in Schools.

The subject of over-pressure in schools is
receiving much attention in quarters whose
opinions are entitled to respect. The An
dover Review for April has an editorial
upon this subject strenuously Directing to
the system pursued in most OF our city
schools. coutending that it is prejudicial
to the health of pupils and fails to pro-
mote the purpose intended. To this sys-
tenn ii attributes many Of the ills which az
fiict school children. and also the head
ache. neuralgia. dyspepsia. and kindred
complaints of many who have passed
through the drill of our schools.
The writer in the Review holds that
children are confined in school too many
hours. that they ought to have more ont
door exercise than is allowed them, that
the course of study should be more elias
tic as we'll as practical. and that the method
OF stimulating pupils to effort by marks
and prizes should not be permitted. The
method of education practiced in some
schools, in which few hours in the day
are devoted to study and the remainder to
work In shop or upon farm or in healthy
recreation is regarded as much superior to
the course pursued in our graded schools.
where the scholars are rigidly kept in a
single rut. and are required even to en-
crosch upon the hours that should be given
to sleep in order to keep up with their
classes and pass examination at the close of
the year. The writer believes that the
old system of town schools were better
for the growth of good scholars and healthy
and successful men and women than the
present system.
In England rs well as in this country
attention is being directed to this subject.
One of our exchanges says: The old
subject of over-pressure in schools is being
debated in Englaed. 1t is found that near

Unintended j Joke of Gen. Sherman

The Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland (Ohio) Leader makes Col. A. H.
MARYLAND responsible for the following
story when Gen. Shermau's army was at
Goldsborough, ". c., Gen. Sherman made .
visit to the headquarters of Gen. Howard.
While there Gen. Sherman felt the need of q
small draught of whiskey to drive of the
malarial effects of the climate on his system.
Now all the officers of the army knew of Gen.
Howard's rigid temperance proclivities,
and were strict in their respect for
them. Gen. Sherman knew there was
no whiskey in Gen. Howard's quar-
wants to Gen. Howard. Presently DR..
John Moore, the medical director, came in
and after little conversation Gen. Sherman
gave him the wink. and said: doctor. have
you seidlitz powder in your quarters ?"
The doctor answered that he had.
Gen. Howard spoke up and said :
General Sherman, it is not neces-
sary to go to the doctors quarters, have
plenty of seidlitz powders here. and good
ones, too. will get you one If there was
anything in Gen. Towards quarters that Gen.
Sherman did not want 1t was seidlitz pow
der, and therefore he said to Gen. Howard:
Never mind, General Give yourself no
trouble Howard was then getting the pow
der and glasses of water ready. Il will be
going by MoOre's quarters after while.
DIR. Moore was great wag and quickly
took in the situation, and became a party to
the joke on Gen. Sherman. He said to Gen.
Sherman; By the way, General, l don't
think have a seidlitz powder in my quar-
tiers, and you had better take the one Gen.
Howard has By this time Gen. Howard
had the powder all ready for use and handed
the two glasses to Gen Sherman Rather
than offend Howard bv saying he meant
whskey he drank the foamng stuff down,
much to his own disgust, to the satisfaction
of Gen. Howard. and to the amusement of
the stsff officers"

II Ought to Reach to Every Republican
Office Holder.

We have endeavored to make it clear that
the fact that Mr.. Pearson did his duty and earn
ed his salary honestly while in Office did not give
him vested right in the postmastership of
New York that his position lay outside of
the civil service reform law and that his case
lay outside of the pledges of the Presidents
letter to Mr.. Curtis on civil service reform.
To concede that the simple performance of
his duty gave him claim to reappointment,
or that his reappointment is essential to the
success of civil service reform, is to lay down
a general principle which ought to cover tn e
case of every republican postmaster and col
lector in the country; and we do not believe
that the time is ripe for carrying the civil
service reform movement so far.-From The

Hollow HoRN.--The disease
commonly known as 'hollOw horn
has no immediate connection with
the horns, as animals without horns
manifest the same symptoms. The
disease in question is the result OF
inflammation, extending from the
mucus membrane lining the nos
trils into the sinues Of the skull
aud horns, there being a direct
communication between these parts.
Debility, improper and insufficient
food, exposure, and all other causes
that tend to weaken the system,
may give rise to this condition.
The treatment must be such as to
counterfeit this deficiency, and
should consist mainly of good
nursing. Keep the animal in dry,
warm, we'll ventilated quarters
pay particular attention to carding
and brushing give nourishing food
and little physic if necessary. Dor
ing the horns is useless and barba-
rous. and is to be placed in the
same category as cutting of the
tail as a remed for the wolf" as
still practiced by the Ignorant
american Agriculturist.
