THE PRESBYTERIAN SCHOOL.

The Presbyterian scheme for school of
high order is fairly before our people. A
charter was secured more than a year ago.
The purpose of the school is TO be three
fold. First to give good business educa-
cation to our young people, second good
normal training in which teachers can be
prepared for common school work, third q
thorough preparation for college or univer-
sity. 1t is true at the present time that
nearly all our colleges are doing simply
academy work, nearly all the pupils in our
western colleges are not in the college course
proper, Now this academy training can be
done Just as well and bet
ter at home than in distant
and expensive college. With the business
normal and academic departments. More
than nine-tenths of our children will need
n~thing more. The great advantage will be
mat the pupils can stay at home while they
are in training in this school. If in the
future it shall be found necessary TO add q
a college department to this school it can be
done without a change Of charter. Lots
have been secured on which the academy
is 70 be built, and large amount has al
ready been subscribed. The work Of build
ing will soon begin. No doubt the school
will be open thi. fall

NICE POINT OF LAW.

A somewhat singular case came up before
his honor III. C. Sluss, yesterday, which in
volved the jurisdiction of justice of the
peace. This is the case: Recently young
man had been arrested in Kingnan county,
charged with having obtained money under
false pretenses. He was brought before
Capt. Sproule, editor of the Kingman Dem
ocrat, who had been an officer in the rebel
srny and was elected and qualified as a
Justice of the peace before his political
disabilities were removed by the legislature.
He held the prisoner for the district court
and he was brought here and is in the coun-
ty Jail. Yesterday Mr.. ii. L. Strohm, Of
Kingman. appeared kefore Judge Sluss with
a petition asking writ Of habeas corpus on
the ground that the commitment was in
valid, the justice having no jurisdiction be-
cause Of his disabilities when he qualified.
Judge Sluss granted the petition and to-
morrow was set for determining the legality
of restraining the young mans liberty. The
writ of course is issued against the sheriff,
who will be required to show cause why he
shall restrain the liberty Of the petitioner.
r. p. Boles, county attorney of Kinglnan
county, will represent the sheriff and Mr.. b.
L. Strohm the petitioner.

Fashionable Dogs in New York.

lbiakeiy fihii III lut hreoiiut'l
In all probability the fox terrier this year
will be the fashionable favorite, though the
bulldog holds his own steadily. Fox-ter
riers Of the proper breed are rare, and that
Is what makes them fashionable. Pug dogs
have entirely lost caste in the fashionable
world, but the bulldog is a much admired pat
Tho proper thing in bulldogs is very small
and pure white, though an occasional black
spot may be allowed. The preference is
sometimes expressed for dogs with dash OF
terrier blood, us bull-terriers arc somewhat
less fierce than the pure-blooded bulls. But
to be absolutely right, the dog should be
fnll-blooded, with bow legs, short nose, viii
famous scowl, and stubby tail. They are
much better than the sickly poodles and
timorous spaniels, so long in vogue Bull
dogs, no matter how much they may be
pampered or over-fed, always retain the
qualities Of courage and fidelity.
