ILLINOIS has a new compulsory edu-
cation law which is meeting with gem
eral favor. 1t compels school attend
ance at least sixteen weeks year on
the part of children between the ages
of seven and fourteen years, and par
ents or those having charge of children
are liable to fine in not observing the
law. Attendance upon any private
day school-teaching reading, writing,
arithmetic and United States history in
the English language-which is APP
proved by the board of education will
be accepted as in compliance with the
law. Boards of education and school
directors are required to appoint truant
officers, who shall hunt up offenders,
bring them into the schools and prose-
cute the parents.

IT is announced that the directors of
the Bourne mills, Fall River, Mass,
have decided to give their employees a
share in the profits for the first six
months in the year, amounting to not
less than six per cent of the cash divi-
dends paid to stockholders. Each en-
ploye is to be paid in proportion to the
total wages earned during the six
months. The one condition imposed
is that the employees shall continue in
the employ of the firm until the eXpira-
ton of the period. In 1887 this COM
pany paid the stockholders a dividend
of fourteen per cent and in 1888 one of
sixteen per cent. The new proposal
means that, for time at least, the en-
ployes are in some degree to share in
the firms prosperity.

COLONEL SHEPARD of the New
York Mail and Cypress is sustaining
his reputation as the most uniquely en-
terprising editor in the metropolis. He
sent reporters to the Cleveland banquet
to inquire of the guests if they would
vote for Cleveland in 1892. Strange
to say, the banqueters were inclined to
be reticent on that subject, and the
emissaries of the devout colonel went

THE little war case that has been en-
crossing the attention of the denizens
of Hayti for the past six months was
settled last week in favor of the plant

that he had defeated President Legit-
ime, captured Port-au-Prince, the capt.
tai of that country, and proclaimed
himself provisional president.

BALLOT reform laws have now been
Incorporated in the statutes of nine
states. These measures differ in de-
tails, but all agree in providing for a
secret ballot, prepared in booths OR
compartments, in directing the print
ing and distribution of ballots at the
public expense, in forbidding the use
of any except the official ballots, and
in making arrangements for independ-
ent nominations.

IT wonld appear from the following
extract from an exchange that the state
of Connecticut is not proud of her
legislature "The committee on con-
stitutional amendments reported to the
Connecticut house in favor of a return
TO annual sessions of the legislature.
This is the same body which has scan
dalized the state by the way in which it
has harbored the most open and reck-
less railroad lobby that Connecticut
ever saw. Once in two years is quite
often enough for this sort of an exhibit

ishing to find legislators who would like

Civil Service i'm Vermont.

The congressional delegation of this
state met at Montpelier Friday to con-
slider matters relating to federal appoint
ments in Vermont. There is scram-
BILE for the office of postmaster at
Fair Haven, and the friends of the va
rious candidates, some half dozen in
number, were present to urge the
" claims " of their favorites. The dele
CATION reserved its decision. Applica-
tions for other post-oflices were re-
ceived, but it does not appear that any
recommendation were made. Re-
speeding other offices, reports are cur
rent that Rollin Amsden of Windsor
will be United States marshal, pre-
sumably under the rule adopted by the
delegation, when the term of the pres
ent incumbent, John Robinson of Ben
nington, expires, in December, 1890,
and Ex-Governor Farnham will be
bank examiner after October next.
Frank Plumley, Esq, has already been
made district attorney, to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the resignation of G. H.
Pitkin, Esq. M. A. Bingham of Essex
and H. E. Taylor of Brattleboro are
slated for the office of inspector of GUS
toms, G.. S. Forbes for that of deputy
collector of internal revenue and G. G..
Benedict for the customs collectorship
at Burlington. Whether, in the con-
tlict of personal ambitions, the theory of
"the survival of the fittest," or infu-
ences and considerations of different
kind, have prevailed in the preferences
exhibited by the delegation is a matter
of question. There will not probably
be another Fenian raid to try the metal
of marshal. The chief function of a
bank examiner, since the existence of
that office, seems to be to settle the es-
tate of defunct banks after the officials
over whose doings he is supposed to
keep watch and ward have pulled the
wool over his eyes for years and made
good their escape beyond the jurisdic-
ton of the stars and stripes. Eminent
fitness in the choice of Forbes for
deputy collector is as clear as the sun
light, and the selection shines out in
bright contrast with that of the Danas,
the Shields, the Sibleys, who have held
the office under former administrations
Mr. Benedict for wears has maintained
a precarious existence on the paltry
pittance of military historian of the
state. His printing-house has had the
drop on the contract for printing the
history, and the proceeds of the sale of
the work seem to have gone into his
exchequer. After so long a period of
abstention, it is right that he should be
given the front place at the hesh-pots.
General Henry may have the popular
Endorsement and Derby may pos
sess conceded business qualifications
Each may be the peer of Wells or
Smalley, but Benedict has more than
either of them, and he wins, if the presi-
dent does not 90 back of the recon-
mendation of the delegation. 1t has
been rumored that General Henry will
appeal from the decision of the SEN
ators and representatives. So rests
the matter of the offices in Vermont
for the present.

THE Pennsylvania legislature has
made vigorous attempt to bankrupt
the state government. The appropria-
tions exceed by over million dollars
the estimated amount of revenue.
Governor Beaver is at work with his
pruning-knife, and as the state consti-
tuition gives him power to veto separate
items in appropriation bills, he may
succeed in saving the commonwealth.

THE Grand Army of the Republic
has authorized Mr. Greville of the Cana

formerly of the United States navy, to
form a post at Ottawa. There are
many veterans there who served in the

occupying superior positions. About
forty have already stated their inten-
ton to join the Ottawa post. 1t is
stated that other posts will be estab-
lished throughout Ontario.

The heavy floods which swept away
the city of Johnstown and devastated
the Conemaugh valley were by no
means confined to small section of
the country. Many rivers overlooked
their banks, and cities and towns were
deluged by the freshet. The Potomac
overlooked and flooded the surrounding
territory. In Washington the Balti-
more and Potomac station was COM
pletely surrounded by water, which
flooded all the rooms on the lower floor
to the depth of about eighteen inches.
The employees of the company and
others who had occasion to visit the
offices on the second floor reached the
building by boats, which were rowed
through the door of the station into the
main waiting-room and landed their
passengers dry-shod on the stairway.
The lower portions of the monument
grounds were covered with water, and
it is feared that considerable damage
will be done, as this portion of the
grounds has only recently been filled
in. There is fear, too, that the ground
around the monument may be satu-
rated with water, and that the founda-
ton may thus be weakened. In the
navy-yard the flood also left its mark.
Many of the heavy guns and expensive
machines were under water for some
time, and it will require great amount of
time and money to get them into work
ing order again. Sunday afternoon
the waters began to recede, but not
until damage had been done that will
foot up into millions of dollars.

SfCOND PAUL REVERE.
A nameless Paul Revere lies somewhere
among the nameless dead. Who he is may
never be known, but his ride will be
famous in local history. Mounted on a bay
horse, he came riding down the pike which
passes through Conemaugh to Johnstown,
like some angel of wrath OF old, shouting
his portentous warning, 4" Run for your
lives to the hills" "Run to the hills! 4"
The people crowded out of their houses
along the thickly-settled street Mortified
and wondering Nobody knew the man,
and some thought he was a maniac and
laughed. On at quick pace he rode, and
shrilly rang out his awful cry. In few
moments, however, there came a cloud of
ruin down the broad streets, down the mar
row alleys--grinding, twisting, hurting
crashing, annihiating the weak and the
strong. 1t was the charge of the flood
wearing its coronet of ruin and devastation
which grew at every instant of its progress
Forty feet high was this sea, and il travelled
with a swiftness like that which lay hidden
in the heels of Mercury. On and on raced
the rider and on and on rushed the wave
Dozens of people took heed of the warning
and ran up to the hills. Poor, faithful rider
it was an unequal contest. just as he
turned across the railroad bridge the mighty
wave fell upon him, and horse, rider and
bridge all went out into chaos together. A
few feet further on several cars of the Penn
sylvania railroad train from Pittsburg were
caught up and hurled into the cauldron.

To Whiten And Soften The Hands.

A very excellent method of making
the hands white is to moisten them
well at night with glycerine and draw
on pair of gloves. This must be
done for many a night, and to stop
for little while may counteract the
good effect of weeks of care. A pair
of soft, undressed kid gloves are the
best for this purpose, and they can
be bought at very small price If
some questionable color is selected.
Then again, the gloves must be a
large size or they will do exactly what
you do not wish-cause the blood to
rush to the hands. Sometimes vase
line is preferred, as some skins are irri'
tated by glycerine and will become
brown by using it. This, however,
may be determined by those using
it. have read of a quick method of
whitening the hands, which is to rub
them well at night with almost any oil

Luck In Death Valley.

A prospector was exploring the
Death Valley country. He camped in
the mountains at spring and stayed
at the same place for some weeks. His
pack mules strayed among the noun
tains, and he went in search of them.
They were found near spring where
there was good grass. The miner
went to the spring to get water. and
near by saw part of an ore sack stick
ing out of the ground. He removed
some of the dirt and found that the
sack was full of ore, and little fur
Their search brought to light four
other sacks of ore.
All the sacks were very rotten, and
had evidently been in the ground a
long time The miner caught his
mules. went back to camp for sacks,
and then returned and got the ore. He
ca, ried it out to where it could be
milled, and from the five sacks, each
containing about seventy pounds of
ore, he realized 1900. Not long after
finding the ore the miner met an In
dian, who is well known in that re-
gion and who knew that the man had
found the ore. The miner asked the
Indian what had become of the men
who had hidden the ore, and the In
dian said: "Mebbe so Indian heap kill

Cure For Kicking.

During the last thirty-five years a
neighbor has permanently cured over
twenty horses of the kicking habit,
without failing in any case attempted.
Following lis his method: Take a
half-inch rope that has been stretched
until it can not stretch any more, tie
it around the horse six inches back
of the pad and bellyband of the har-
ness; insert short. stick and twist it
up nearly as tight as the rope will
bear without breaking and tie the
stick so that it will stay. Fasten the
horse in stall where there is room
behind him to WELD long lash whip,
then stick him around the hind legs
quite severely; at the second or third
blow he will generally kick with both
feet with all his might, but only for
two or three times. If he has been in
the habit of kicking in harness drive
him with the rope on two weeks, or
until he quits making any threats.
Some will kick once or twice with one
foot, and bob up and threaten for
several days. They should be tickled
or leased, or have a basket or pail
thrown upon them or tied to hind
foot several times a day to make
them try to kick and until they cease
to make any effort in that direction.
The remedy is then effectual. After
driving the animal half an hour the
rope should be frightened. This will
also cure bucking horses or any
which try to throw their rider.

ing facts:
The negro population of the south
has never increased in equal ratio with
the whites from the foundation of the
government to the census Of 1880.
The white population increased 9.57
per cent. during the decade 1S60-1S70.
For the same period the negroes in
creased 500 per cent.
For the decade 1S70-1SS0 the white
population increased 1854 per cent,
the negro population 1896 per cent.
For the twenty years, 1S60-1S90, the
white population incresed 50S1 per
cent. the negro population 1851.
This period covers the term of years
in which the south lost nearly l, 900,
600 of her white population by the cas-
ualties of war.
In the above statement l do not in
clude the Sizes of Maryland, Della
