Bavarian School Discipline.

A judicial decision which has Just
been rendered at the court of Munich
shows that corporal punishment is
still regarded in Germany as an indis-
pensable factor of education. "a
school-teacher," says the judge, "has
the right to infict corporal punish
ment as well on the pupils of his own
class as on those of other classes. As
pupils are amenable to scholastic ju-
risdiction even after the school hours
are over, they may be punished by
the teacher even outside of the
school"

Where the Spiders Are Useful.

AT recent meeting of arborcultur-
lists in France the question was de-
bated whether spiders should be suf-
fered to spin their webs on fruit
walls. The general opinion seemed
to be that the webs were more use
ful than Objectionable. 1t was re-
marked that they prevent the incur
sions of earwigs and similar insects
and also interfere with the operations
of noXious flies whose larvae ravage
leaves and fruits.

CALEB POWERS.
Convicted Former Secretary OF
State of Kentucky on
the Verdict.

Georgetown, KY, August 10.
-Caleb Powers issued a state
ment this evening, as follows:
To the. Public-l am asked my
opinion concerning my trial and
the verdict of the jury. Gould l
have but one opinion? Can any
fair-minded man or woman of this
State have but oneg That one
of the greatest judicial farces
known to history has been enacted
here in my trial, under the forms
of law, no well>iuformed man can
doubt. Innocence is no shield
with one hundred thousand dullars
and the methods of Campbeliism
against you. The rectitade of
Jones past life counts for naught.
They say Taylor is guilty because
he was at his Office and that l am
guilty because l was away from
mine. This has been a political
trial throughout, for political pur-
poses, and no greater mistake has
been made by the Democratic
party since they robbed US of the
! Offices to which we were fairly
elected by the people.
I There are good men and noble
women in the Democratic party,
and many OF them, They are not
all bad, far from it. A great many
of them do not indorse the theft
of the State offices. A great many
more will not indorse this mocke
cry of a TRIAL, the prostitution of
the courts of justice for certain
ends. From the beginning Of the
campaign until now | have stood
with what little of merit I have
had for the rights and liberties OF
the people. That is my crime.
That is the only offence [ have
committed. That is the only
thing proven against me. I swore
to that myself in my testimony.
have never had and l now have
no apology to make for being
true to the trust imp ,sed upon
me by a majority of the voters OF
this State. History will draw its
dark lines around those who have
outraged me and disgraced the
Judiciary and blackened the his
tory of the State.
