STATE PRINTING.

The investigation of the state
printing by the special legislative
committee appointed for that pur-
pose resulted in materially
reducing the number of volumes
hereafter to be printed by the
state. These volumes, consisting
of reports of state officers and the
different schools and societies that
are being wholly or partially sup
ported by the state, had been
increased by the different legisla-
lures until the number aggregated
upwards Of two hundred thousand
copies. In reducing this number
by Looping off some of those that
were of questionable service to the
people of the state, the committee
did a good work. So far as show
ing any corruption on the part of
any state officer, or collision
between them, or either of them,
with the state printer was concern
ed, however, the investigation was
a total failure. All orders for
printing pass through the office OF
the Secretary Of State and the evi-
dence before the committee elected
the fact that Secretary Timme and
Mr.. Fay, manager of the Madison
Democrat Company, which is
doing the printing, had not spoken
together for the past two years.

the General Land Office. Mr..
Townsend was a member of the
hfty-fourth Massachusetts, regi-
ment during the rebellion, since
the war he has been a member of
the Indiana legislation, and is at
present the Missionary Secretary
of the A. M. E. Church. He has
been a warm personal friend of
the President for many years.
Postmaster General Wanamaker
does not believe that the time has
quite come for one cent letter
postage, so he has adopted as his
motto, Don't reduce the rate, but
improve the service. That is just
the right sort of idea to have of
our postal service: give us four
or five years of improvements at
the present rate, and then let's talk
about penny postage. Of course
everybody knows that it has got to
come in few years.
Secretary Tracy in his general
order has carried joy to great
majority of the officers in the
Navy by making it plain that no
favoritism is in future to be shown
in OBTAINING officers for special
duties.

that Ex-senator Saunders, of
Nebraska, and Ex-Lieutenant
Governor Robertson, of Indiana,

upon. Robertson's appointment
has been announced.

LEGISLATIVE BLUNDERS.

The only way to prevent
accidental blunders in legislation,
such as that which now seems to
point to an extra session, is for the
member who introduces and urges
a bill to follow it in all its stages,
like a careful parent. The error
in the case of the last amendment
to section 1882 is of a kind that
would certainly have caught the
eye of Senator Clawson, who
introduced the amendment, if he
had read the last printing of the
bill with attention. The fault is
chiefly with the judiciary commit
tee of the two houses, which we're
exceedingly careless in the matter,
but it is such a blunder as the
mover of the legislation ought to
have detected.
Amy measure amendatory of a
statute runs endless risks in passing
through the hands of clerks and
committees and it is rather surpris-
ing that errors are not more
frequent, considering the indiffer-
ence of many members who con-
slider their duty done when a bill
is passed.-Sentinel.

Wornan's Progress.

A remarkable work is going on in In
dia in the way of breaking down ancient
customs that seclude women from the
active world, education and progress.
When Lady Duferin left Calcutta, 700
women broke the Zenana rules and held
durbar, or reception, to express to her
their gratitude for her having established
female medical schools in Calcutta, La
hore, Madras and elsewhere. The receL
ton was held in the viceroy's palace, and
reported by a woman reporter, no man
being allowed to be present. 1t is de-
scribed as asuperb scene, as Indian ladies
are, above all. fond Of rich colors. One

America studying medicine. OF course

The British Medical Journal has this
TO say about the intemperance of boys
and girls in Austria: So serious and wide
spread has inebriety been of recent years
among school children that the Vienna
school board have, though hitherto inef-
fectually, been making strenuous efforts
for the prohibition of the sale of intoxi-
eating drinks to children. The board has
resolved to invoke the intervention of the
government, and a bill is to be laid be-
fore parliament during the. present ses-
sion to prohibit the sellingof intoxicants
to boys and girls under 10 years of age.
So alarming is the present state of mat,
tiers that the appearance of boy at
school in state of drunkenness is by no
means rare sight, During the winter
poor children are often sent to school
with only glass of the cheapest spirits
for breakfast, partly to allay hunger and
partly to keep out the cold"-that ven

Mrs. Miller VS., Mr.. Miller.

The supreme court of Iowa recently
rendered an opinion in curious case.
A couple named Miller had entered in
to the following agreement:
That Mrs. Miller shall keep her home
and family in Il comfortable and raas
enable good condition, and Mr.. Miller
shall provide for the necessary expeR-
scs of the family, and shall in addition
there to pay Mrs. Miller for her indi
vidual use 5000 per year, payable SIG.
sc 2-3 per molth so long us Mrs. Miller
shah faithfully observe the terms and
conditions of this agreement.
Mrs. Miller sued Mr.. Miller for
breach of contract. The plaintiff
alleged that while she had faithfully
fulfilled her part of the contract, the
defendant had failed to keep his agree.
ment. In short, that he had not paid
her single penny for services rem
dered us specified. The court, in the
majesty of its learning and wisdom
decided against the plaintiff. 1t de.
clared, in effect, that the services up
on her part were obligatory, being
imposed hy her marriage vows, and
therefore she could collect no cOmpen
sation therefor, even though written
agreement to pay it had subsequently
| been signed.
Mrs. Miller was not we'll advised BY
her lawyer. He ought to have tolG
| her that whenever married woman
takes her rights into court and at
tempts to enforce them by law she
generally finds that she hasn't any
that the law is bound to respect. i
Mrs. Miller had sat up later darnins
socks and had improved the Cpportu
mites thus afforded to tap the family
till in her husbands pantaloons poke
she would have found that method
more satisfactory than going to law.
