The present Legislature can
immortali2e itself and matcri-
ally aid in the development OF
this part OF Kentucky if it will
enact law to turnpike the State
road via Hazel Green to the
Virginia line. The State could
control the road until it paid
for the building, and then sell
it out. The State has done
such things for other sections,
why not for us paupcrs? We
think it charity to help those
who can not help themselves

We clip the following very
complimentary notice OF for
mer newspaper man, from the
Lexington Daily Press, and re-
produce the item thatte teachers,
trustees, and superintendent
may see what is to be gained by
united, combined effort:
1.-The dedication OK the new aud beau
tiful structure on the Harrodsburg pike
as IL school house in the Twentieth Dis
trict has opened new era in the school
system. Prof. j. ID. PICKETT in his
address on the opening evening, said that
in this, one of the faircst sections of
Kentucky, the dedication of this school
was looked upon by himself and others
as being the ground plan of a great grow
ing institution of learning, where the
rich and the poor alike can drink of the
waters of knowledge and be refreshed;
that Faycttc county has under so able
Superintendent rs Mr. NJ. A. CASSIDY
added another laurel to her crown of
prOgressiveuess, and the building of 50
hnc and substantial a school house was
the opening of Il new era of prosperity,
higher civilization, advanced education.
at is true that our county schools
have il the past two or three years become
as efficient as those Of any of the Eastern
or Northern States. New buildings are
constantly being erected, teachers Of
high order and ability engaged, and Il
course of systematic instruction selected
with particular regard for the future
success and prosperity, mental and ply
steal of the growing generation. 80 lit
tie enthusiasm has been shown in the
past by superintendent and teachers
that we feel this is but merIted cOmpli-
mcnt 20 the present incumbents. The
schools OF this county were especially
praised by Prof. PICKETT, and his laudi-
tory remarks were not fulsomc nor any
thing but the outcome of his genuine
qualification and pleasure in seeing the
interest aud corporation Of superintend-
ents, trustees and teachers. 1t has now
become a system so thorough, complete,
and methodical, that few If any patrons
could complain.
"There is, as Senator Cravens said, one
drawback, and that is the non-use of Il
common set of text books in each dis
trict. This prohibits many from attend
ing, as after purchasing one list of text
books for one school they do not feel
able to buy another set for another dis
trict. This Mr. CASSIDY and others
have been trying to obyiate, and his cat
reer as Superintendent, being frightened
by so many good moves in the right di'
rection, promises to make his county the
star one of the State. MIR, CASSIDY has
our best wishes and congratulations"

but the money has not been paid over to the

,ial to the Indianapolis Journal

special to the Indianapolis Journal
PITTsBURG, Pa. Jans 15.-The Times to-
morrow will publish a two-coumn article, OF
which the following is condensation: Shortly
after the Franco Prussian war nine choir nuns
came to Pittsburg from France to establish a
school for young ladies. The nuns, under the
leadership of Mother Superior Madame AL
phonse, contributed from their own pockets
sums of money ranging from 81, 600 upwards,
purchased lands and erected buildings thereon.
They received a charter from the State
of Pennsylvania for educational institution.
No mention OF religion is made in tho charter,
but the incorporators were described as members
of the Ursuline Order of Nuns. These ladies,
by teaching. have made a great deal of money,
have erected new buildings. and the property IS
now worth over $500, 900. There has all along
been conflict Ct authority between the bishop
of this diocese and the sisters. The bishop
claimed right TO control the conduct of affairs
by virtue of his spiritual superiority. Sister
Alphonse took the position that although Cath
olics, the sisters were the real directors having
built up and maintained the school by their own
exertions. They were confirmed in this view,
time since, by John Barton, their at
torney. But Mr.. Barton states that the sisters
for reason. would not follow his advice
To-day the property was advertised for sale. but

pl aced are not at liberty to divuiGe for whose
benefit the sale is to be made Recently the
bishop deposed Madame AlDhonse and appointed
another nun to be mother superior Six
seven of the original nine nuns have decided to
follow Mother Aphonse, and it is probable they
will return to France. Interest centers upon
the disposition of the property. Will the Ursu-
line nuns exercise their legal rights to receive
the proceeds of the sale! Additional interest
attaches to the case from the statement made by
lady. a member of one of the oldest Pittsburg
families. that Madame Alphonse is duchess of
France and that another of the nuns, Sister
Emanuel, is Bourbon countess and cousin of
ex-Empress Eugenie.

spends the greater portion Of his time in the

this connection it is asserted that there is

suit will be that number of the rail way postal
clerks who still retain their positions will be
