Charms.

During our stay in Perugia we made
acquaintance with very learned pro-
fessor of the university, who most kind
ing and valuable collection of imple-
ments and other articles beginning at
the Stone Age, but also collection of
amulets and charms. Some of these,
especially those for protection from
lightning, are bits of prehistoric stones
and contain a grotesque mingling of
pagan and medieval superstition. A
little case embroidered with Angus Del
contained triangular stone arrow
head, and this used to be hung at the
bedhead of the owner between pictures
of saints. On the occasion of a storm
candles were offered before the amulet.
This collection of charms amounts TO
upward of 10, and is so full of interest
that it would require many pages to do
it justice. A very curious amulet was
the fragment of human skull inclosed
in brass reliquary, and considered to
be sovereign protection against cpl
lepsy and kindred disorders. Tradition
said that this bit of bone had belonged
to the skull of person, dead some 200
years before, who had worked so many
wonderful cures by his skill in medicine
and had lived such long and sanity
life that he had been loved and vener-
ated by all. The professor told us that
il was not at all uncommon when a
body was dug up in the course of exca-
vations to find bit of the skull missing,
and this amulet, doubtless, explains the
use that has been made of such frag-
ments. Another charm was little
cross of hollywood carved by Capauchin
friars, which had been found hanging
at an old woman's bed-head to protect
her from the spells of witches. She
would only part from it on condition
that she might reserve some splinters of
the wood, so as to prevent the witches
from visiting her and tormenting her
for having parted from her safeguard.
There were corals too, of various shapes
for women and children, for safety in
teething, for protection against NAL
occhio, to stop bleeding, and, above all,
for the cure of melancholy. The dark
stone with red spots, which l have
heard called in England bloodstone, is
said to be infallible in checking bleed
ing; il must be useful in n country
where blood-letting and leeching are
still common and frequent remedies. -

ONE of the most important state offices is
that of superintendent of public instruction,
although it does not usually receive that de-
gree of attention to which it is entitled. To
I'LL the position as it should be filled requires
not only thoroughly educated man, but
also man who is a practical educator him
self and who is thoroughly in sympathy with
the cause of education; one who is up in the
work; progressive man, and one who has
kept abreast of the advanced thought of
the age on the important subject of popular
education; he should be practical man as
well as a theorist, and should be thoroughly
familiar with the public school system of our
state. Such man would be hard to find
but Paw Paw has one who comes wonder
fully near filing the bill. Prof. L. Nj. Rus
SELL, superintendent of her public schools
He is man who has made the profession of
teaching life work and who has made a
marked success in his profession. We are
pleased to notice that some of our contem-
poraries have already introduced him to the
public as a suitable person to receive NOM
ination at the hands of the republican party
for that important Office. IL there is any
state office that should be non political it is
that of superintendent of public instruction
but, as it is an elective Office, it is hardly
possible, certainly not practical, to choose
such officer regardless of party preferences
Such being the case, the NoRTHERNER takes
pleasure in assuring its readers that Prof
RUssELL's republicanism is genuine and I'M
questionable. There can, therefore. be no
valid objection to his nomination from a
partisan stand point. The position which,
for the past three years, he has filled so capa-
bly, and satisfactorily, is not only guaranty
of his qualification as an educator but also as
to his character, which is irreproachabe
and his reputation which is of the highest
The NoRTHERNER would gladly see him NOM
mated and elected to an office, the duties of
which he is so well qualified to execute.

The only opposition we have noticed to
the nomination of DoN G. HENDERSON, the
veteran editor of the Allegan Journal and
Tribune, has been in the columns of the
Allegan Gazette a rival of the Journal, and
whose editor Mr.. REID, has no great love for
Mr.. HENDERSON, and between whom and
DoN we have no reason to suppose there is
any love lost. The Gazette recently made
certain charges concerning the conduct and
character of Mr.. HENDERSON which the latter
says are absolutely without foundation. We
have been personally acquainted with Dos
for nearly quarter of a century and what
ever faults he may have, we don't believe
lying is one of them, and when he says he
didn't we believe him. Our senatorial district
might find great many worse men than
our old comrade of the Sd Mich. Cav, TO
represent il in the halls of the capitol. We
should be pleased TO see him elected to the
position for which he is mentioned.

Not Very Rusty,

The Winnebago City (Minn. Press
News thinks we have become little
rusty on Minnesota politics because
we said, few weeks ago, that we did
not think the people of that State
could afford to throw Senator McMil-
Ian overheard for c. K. DAYS.. We
think such statement shows anything
but "rustiness" in Minnesota politics.
1t is remarkable that in all the oppos-
ition raised to Mr.. Mcmillan during
the past months, not one charge has
been brought against him. And why
not? Simply because he has been a
thoroughly faithful official all through
his career, and no charge could be
brought against him. Why should
the State wish to shelye an able,
trusty, faithful officer for one of known
tricky procliyities and for one who is
hidden to change his views on certain
questions before he can be elected?
Why should the people turn out a
man already in sympathy with them
and their political views for an ambi-
tious politician who, before he gets
the place he seeks, is already at war
with the principles of the men he ex-
poets to faithfully represent? 1t is
simply silly for people to commit such
acts Of self violence. Again, why
should the people of that state, espec-
tally CT the Southern halt of it, insist
upon forcing upon St. Paul the United
States Senator? Here is a point we
cannot see through under any circum-
stances. Saltwater, town only is
miles from st. Paul already has one
Senator. Now the Press News wants
to give to St. Paul the other Senator,
which with Congressman Rice and
Nelson, would give the north half Of
the State a majority in Congress. Is
this good policy? Is this home or self
protection We are not so rusty but
what we know the character of the
men who would in such event legislate
for you, Mr.. Press News, and we know
it would be mighty few fayors South
ern Minnesota would get from Messrs.
Sabin, Davis, Rice and Nelson.
But, friends, if you think you must
have a new Senator why don't you
trot out some good Southern Mime
sofa man and insist upon it that you
shall have him? You have man in
your own town whom you or the State
might feel proud to honor and who
would make as good a Z. 5. Senator
as the State can produce. We mean
Hon. II. W. Holley. But if you
dan't want him, why not take Hon
J. B. Wakefield, a good and able
man. 1T not him, Judge j. q, Farm
er, Of Spring Valley, another, good
and able man, or Mr.. Freeman Of
Mankato, or Mr.. Ward, of Wasecai
Why you haye lots of good Senatorial
timber in Southern Minnesota, and
any of these would be better than Cush
Days. Cush. Davis is no Statesman
He is good lawyer and more than
an average in oratory but when you
have said this you have said all. But
if you want man from the north par
Of the state why not take ex-Goy
Austin, one of the truest men the state
ever had? oh 10, We are not very
rusty on Minnesota politics. Stand VI
for your rights and for honesty, ant
you will win in time if not at once.
