FREE TEXT RNoKS.

New Haven is really changing. The Old State House is coming down, and whole month before the schco election real inter- est is manifest. This is indeed a change, and we hope that the interest will continue to grow, for there is need of it. At the elec- ton there will be a rel i~sue before the pee pie. They will be esked to decide whether they do or do not went free text books for the schools. The advocates of the chenge present some strong arguments for it. It i7 not new thing, and whenever the system hf7 been tlied it seer7 to have worked well. At least, there has been no noticeable out- cry against it. Perhaps the strongest argu- ment against it is that it is a long step in the direction of socialism, and there e-e those who argue that the children might just q well be supplied with free clothes and fee food as free text books. On the other hand it ia urged that they are alreedy freely given most of their school supplies, and that there will be gain in vf~iors ways in giving them their books also.
 The matter bids fair to provoke lively dis cussion, as it ought to. Doubtless before election day arrives enough facts will be put before the voters to enable them to decide intelliqently how to vote

The old state Heuse.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 A large multitude of our citizens look with
 shame upon the wanton destruction of the
 finest public building New Haven ever had. Please let humble one of that very many
 recall to their memory it's fine stately roens and halls, and the beautiful model of it's ex-
 terior before the same had been the but of
 the foolish, the riffraf of the city, and the laughing stock of the college unwisdom. That institution, if it ever reforms, may change it's laugh into grin; t it be true
 that it had large influence in promoting this destruction, then it is time we had another and better institution. See it sll ye citizens and, mark it, that this sus gestion is not less possible than it is plausible. The Old State House was vastly better than the old college Gnside or out). Everybody now hes seen this too plainly to make jest of it. And high handed imposture upon our citi- zsns calls loudly for judgment. Non' they never paid for, and do not mean to pay for. And when they have swept off theil ruins before our eyes, everybody may see that nothing of any sentiment of homo. noI shame mingles with their work, only that they were hired to job, no matter fer the quality of it, whether it be to steal horse ol l to kill one; he works for hire, no matter ! what the job. But remember that our State House may be reproduced yet and rise again | and more of historic memorial than ever l when it shall tell again in the future. Now Yale rose upon an evil be,is, and fell agai1 \ in the past. At all events the well and good | aye the admirable reproduction of our fine ! old structure is due to the best culture of al | who can appreciate it, and to the better civ l ilization of all who helped to pull it doWl.

In the tribune he is @ perfect Proteus, presenting the various r7peots of human nature with consummate skill end eloquence, and handling the French tong ae with marvellous simplicity and suppleness. But although he plefses and captivates, he does not convince. Perhaps 1t is because
 he is too much of an artist, too elegant and refined. mrst admit that wbile listening to him in the Senate, 1t is hard to divest yourself of the opinion that he is acting; but
 is not that the case with the general run of French parliamentary speakersa Another reason for his lack of popular favor may FOE
 sibly be found in his attachment to copse, 7-
 atism, which the dominant French Radicals affect to treat as the annihilation of all pro- gress and liberty, instead of being what it is, the very guardian of them. His toleration in religiors mattsls is also offensive to the modem revolutionist5, who consider the Finally. bis independence is obnoxious to those who allow themselves to be guided by political caucuses and party interests.

WATER FOR FUEL.
An Alleged Invention Designed
 RevolutiOnixe Everything. From Light Heat erd PoWerl

RevO1ut1OnfXe EVefytn1ng.
 From Light, Heat end Powerl, What appears to be an important inven- tion has recently been made public in Phil- lips, Wisconsin. It is no less than the prac- tical and cheap use of water as fuel. The appliants consists of nothing but piece of oaspipe from two inches to six inches in di- ameter, it may be desired, and of eonven- lent length to fit cook stove or parlor or 1 other heater, with short legs or stable sup- port to keep it in position. This is placed l in the stove with one end slightly projecting, | to which is attached vessel of water with stop cock conduit from the water vessel into the pipe.
 Before reaching the steam chamber the water passes through the important part of the invention, the part that constitutes or contains the great discovery. By means of it the water may pass into the steam cham ber, while the steam cannot pass out. The part of the pipe containing the steam cham Der is within the stove, although a small part may be without if desired. To this the heat of moderate wood or coal fire is ap piled, so as to heat the steam to high tenn perature, say three or nearly four hundred degrees, when it passes out of small orifc, immediately into the midst of bed of coal
 or flame from burning wood or coal, when i
 is at once raised to the required temperature
 four hundred degrees or more, to be imme
 diately decomposed into it's gases-o1ygel
 and hydroaen-which instantly becom , flame.
 Only a moderate summer fire of wood o coal will be required the coldest day in win r ter. the gaseous flame furnishing the balanc of the heat needed in the coldsst room. Tn

RERATING PENSIONS.

Corporal Tanner is being much criticised for the rersting of pensions. A special ex- aminer for the pension office who is now in Bosson has something interesting to say con- cerniny this matter. He rays The fact that some few of the beneficisries were employees in the pension bureau is not strange when you know that perhaps the l-estsr majority of the clerks in that bureau aye old soldiers, and they certainly have the sams rights and
 prisileges es old soldiers on the outside.
 That their cases were made special or put
 through with undue haste simply because
 they were in that bureau, with the knowl-
 edge of the commissioner, do not believe.
 All of these cases, as we'll q all other cases,
 go through thorough adjudication, pr 'sinG
 two boards, one of review and another of re.
 review, the medicsl division, and a final
 careful reading in the certificate division for
 the issuance of certificate before reaching
 Commissioner Tanners desk, and then only
 for his signature.
 The examiner further points out that it would be practically impossible for the com missioner to make a study of each and every case before certificate is issued, no matter what the clf may be, in original, increase new disability or rerating. Mention has beer made of slips signed by the commissionel forwarding these cases. Such cases the ex aminer says, have been thoroughly reviewed by persons competent to review them, sno who, after careful study, prepare slips ready for the commissioners signature, and th' case goes on it's way. It in any of thos' cases the action recommended, or even or dered, by such slip is found to be outside of the law or decisions governing such cases ! it would be clearly the duty of the reviewe ! or re reviewer, or any other person through | whose hands they must pees before certif l cate is issued, to note that fact and cell thu l attention of the commissioner to the same The law governing the rerstings of pensions are explicit and plain and easily followed and if any reratings have been granted file ! gally, no one knowing Commissioner Tanne | would for an instant believe him cognizan | thereof

HAYFi,S AMAZONS.
Tho Ebony Damsels Whom Legftime
 Has enlisted in His Army.

Has enlisted in His Army.
 From the New Orleans Picayuae.l
 The war in Hayti, where the alleged right full ruler, Legitime, is being driven into his last ditch by the alleged revolutionary lead- CT, Hippolyte, has developed an interesting feature in the drafting of women into the ar- my of the former. Legitime has been worst ed on every field and driven back until his domain is limited pretty nearly to his capital of Port-au-Prnce. As his army has dwin- dled away largely by desertion to the other faction, he found himself without troups to man his Notifications, for bis city was ! long ago strongly fortified by the Span- l iadssand French who held it at different pe- riods.
 1 In this extremity Legitime has hit upon l the plan of filling up his depleted ranks with women. There being surplus of the softer sex in the capital of the negro republic, 1t has been possible to enrol quite a number of 1 these ebony Amazons, who are not embodied | in exclusive battalions of their own sex, but are distributed among the men. These wom- en are dressed in masculine costume, and look much like negro youths.
 The Haytian negroes, where they have
 been amalgamated with the native. Carlos have become almost beardless, particularly ! when tne HIGH afe younx, anu hence tnest Haytian amazons are said to be distinguisha
 ble from the males, when all are standing il
 line together, chiefly by the fact that th' faces of the woman are more pleasing ant
 less hard and brutal than are those of tn,
 men. Every person who has seen our owl fair Amazons on the stage or engaged in {
 broom drill will have noticed that in the pc ) culiar conformation of the sex the superio swell at the launches and the lesser breadth of shoulders combine to exert special effort , upon the manual of arms.
 When the guns are brought to "carry, being rested against the hip and upon tn l shoulder, they do not stand erect, but inclin 3 at an angle toward the head of the fair soldier 8 Moreover, when the troops are aligned ii t Wnosition of the soldier" it is more easy fo |, them to touch hips and elbows, as requires i. by the code, and should the time ever com a when the armies of the white nations are @ be made up of women, it is to be hoped, i
