THE BAR OF SOUTHERN KANSAS.

No doubt the dispatch in yesterday
mornings EAGLE with reference to a call
for delegate convention of lawyers at
Fort Scott on the 2Sth inst, for the pur-
pose of taking some action looking to the
passage of the house. bill, or some other
bill, to erect Kansas into two U. S. judicial
districts, WAS noticed by the members of
the Sedgwick county bar. The call is
signed by well known and prominent at
torneys. Fort Scott proposes 10 take care
of the delegates to that convention in
great shape" and we hope our lawyers,
or the bar association of this city, will not
neglect to send an accredited delegation
of strong men. It is known to them all
that it is entirely impossible for sin
gle Judge TO longer take care of the
business of tho district as at pres
ent constituted. 1t is simply mat
ter impossible in u single annual term
to dispose Of the business docketed
for the Wichita court. In order to dispose
of the most urgent cases the court has
been forced to rush day and night. Kan
sas can only be divided one way satisfac-
torily and that is east and west. For the
southern half of the state the courts at
Wichita and Fort Scott by having two
terms each of the district court and one
each of the circuit court, can dispose of
the business. Such a division and only
such division would prove homogeneous
or constitute districts with a community
of interests The government court houses
in each place viii be ready for occupancy
within a year and the districts ought to
organize as theoretically suggested by tie
call published yesterday morning.

The experimental course of the manual
training system was begun the other day in
some of New YorlSs public schools, and IL
the new system proves TO be what its friends
claim for it, it viii most likely be made a
permanent feature of the regular school
course. This system is not TO be engyaftea
upon the old course of study, but combines
with it in such way as not to increase ti@
demand upon the time or energy of the
pupils. Hours formerly devoted to other ex-
ercises have been either shortened or are
wholly given to practice in some branch OF
the new system.
All pupils must begin at the beginning Of
the alphabet, so to speak, of this course; but
naturally those who arc sufficiently advanced
viii pass rapidly on to what is set down for
the grade to which they belong. For in
stance, those who know how to sew will not
tarry long in the third primary grade, where
they are taught, according TO general direc-
tions in the manual, "the use of the thimble,
etc. They will go through the eighth grade
of the grammar school, learn TO sew on but
tons (bless them and how to put on patches
neatly and to darn stockings, and so on to
the higher branches of sewing. In the third
grammar grade the cooking lessons begin.
Special teachers will be employed to instruct
not only thepupils, but their regular teachers
as well In the departments of drawing,
modelling, "shop work" and carpenter work,
the same scope and purpose which govern
the other branches will prevail. New York

Well, need not detain you by reciting all
the civilities and congratulations which he
and / exchanged. He and Wilkinson had
arrived at Deal at 8 o'clock that afternoon,
and after hurried meal had hired lugger
and started at once for Beachy Head twas
now o'clock in the morning; and what l
may consider truly extraordinary circum-
stance is, that they had sailed as true q
course for the schooner as if she had lain
plain to the gaze at the very start; that since
the night had drawn down they had met no
vessel of any kind or description until they
came up TO us; that in all probability they
would have run stem on into us if they had
not seen our lights, and that their seeing our
lights had caused them to hail us, their Ship

He bowed his head
Three more boatmen arrived, giving us the
company Of five Of them. Soon there was
hearty sound of frying and smell of good
things upon the air. Pitt put plates and
glasses upon the cabin table, two great bowls
of punch were brewed, and in a little time
we had all fallen to. Whispered Wilkinson,
who sat next me: These boatmen know
nothing of our business; / shall have TO take
Mr. Mason apart and arrange with him.
These fellows may not be iit for cur service.
