On the 27th of January, Townson Dade, died at his residence on North Calafornia St. Mr. Dade had for years been a sufferer from white swelling, but his remarkable constitution held up under the constant strain until he had numbered his 63rd year. He was a native of Virginia, but had been a resident of this state alout 23 years. Four children, two sons and two daughters' survive him. The funeral took plaeefrom the Second Baptist church. York Lamb. At the family residence on North Tenn street, last Sunday morning, York Lamb paid the debt which nature requires of us all. Mr. Lamb, was respected by all who new him, and in his death we lose a worthy man and a good citizen. He was 63 years of age, a native of Kentucky and had been living in Indianapolis about 4 years. Ilia wife died but & few months ago. He leaves behind two daughters and two sons. The deceased was a member of the method ist church and of the Knights of Bethlehem, by which organization the funeral was conduct ed. The funeral took place at 2 p. m. Tuesday. COMODORE PKRRY JCOTT. Comodore Scott,, the only son of John Scott, of the firm of Lucas and Scott on Indiana avenue, was released from his sufferings by death last Saturday morning. Comodore had long been afflicted with that dread disease scrofula, in its most virulent form. His father had for his physicians the best talent in the city, and had tried upon him every remedy, but all in vain. The hand of death was upon him, and slowly but surely the "cruel monater"did his work. But no dout, death, in this case was a great relief; for comodore had suffered long anp much, and his disease was incurable. lie was born January 25th 1861, hence at his death was 21 years of age. His funeral took place last Sabbath from the Vermont street church, Elder M. Lewis officiating. VlllalnoiiM AHtmult. murderous assault was made on the wife of Councilman John II.

It is an alarming fact that the hotel "Ih-11 loy" is on the increase in this city. The reason is just this: When a boy, just entering his teens, observes that the hotel boy is al ways wcll-drcsscd, happy and careless, with tdentr ot nocket-iiioncv. anl seems to be well-treated by the world in general, his in clinations naturally turn in that direction. ( And, instead of entering some business house, or learning somegoou trau?, ami oecomiiur a useful member ot the community, he enters the employ of a hostelry, where he . 1 fl ....L "ll I .... must daily come mcomaci wun au graues of characters. This is productive of a little pood, but an infinite amount of evil, for from these assoeiations he heroines hardened to villany, his moral instincts are dulled, and he gradually drifts into the riccitcst slouirhs of crime and immorality, becomes the hnltitut of vile places, and finally his former good character is wholly and irre trievably lost, and broken-hearted, he sinks into a pauper s grave 'Unwept, unhonorcd and unxiing," To this end the hotel boy must come, un less he is more than ordinarily earful. But why take a path so full of snares, when the good, smooth road which leads to happiness and all things joyful, lien directly before you ? The hotel boy can ntver oc more a servant, the abject slave lo the white man, for while the color prejudice ot to-day remains unobl iterated, he will not be allowed to rise to a position of importance and trust m a hotel. V hereas, if he would enter Jrofession, and take an "upper story," (as udge Choate used to say,) his ability must be recognized by the whole world; if he learns a useful trade and makes himself a master workman, he cannot but be known as an honor to the race he represents, and command the respect and admiration of all i t i.-i; u . i. - :ii; nonesi men. e ueueve mai me uiieiu cent bov is becrinnine to see this, and to learn that it is the duty of the colored youth to redeem the name of the Neero race. If this feeling prevails in the heart of every Negro youth in the land, we predict a glo rious future for them, and that ere long that oppressed race shall have a roll of illustrious names equal to that of any other nation upon the globe, Uiiandoh. Put Him on tbo Polloe Force. Mayor Orubbs is in receipt of a letter, in reference to the itreet depredations, which is a queer compound of bad writing and worse spelling, with a total lack of grammar. The writer gives his name and number of residence, and if he has one-twentieth part of the ability set forth would prove a long-felt want in police circles. He tells the Mayor that the city is overrun by an organ ized band of thieves which all the detectives in the world can not ferret out The individual says he is a cabinetmaker by trade, but being out of employment, will undertake to place the entire gang to the last man behind the Prison walls, provided the city will agree to compensate him for his services, which, he adds, "will come high." At one time, the letter sayp, be "run in" as many as thirty-six men in one bunch, nearly all of whom are now in the Penitentiary. How be accomplished this fat is not staled, but the Mayor sng crests he may have "surrounded them." In conclusion, he declares that he knows every footpad and thief in the city, and they also knew him a few years ago but have forgotten Ids face by this time. Where this wonderful foe of the highwayman, thief and thug bails from, or how his ability has become so thoroughly developed, is not known, though it is conjectured he may be a second Pinker ton in disguise. One such man would more than equal the entire Indianapolis police force, and the city authorities should certainly not take into consideration for a moment the high figure for his services.

Reverses tlio Icc1k1oii of County Hupt. Harlan, ordern Tlmt the Lieonard Children lo Admitted to IMHtrlot Hohool No. 1 . The readers of the Leader, especialy those residing in Marion countv, are famil iar with the facta connected in the case where two colored children were excluded from District School No. 4, by order of County Superintendent L P. Harlan, but for the iulormaiion oi an we win giva a uriei review of the transaction. Mr. Leonard, the father of the two chil dren, lives within a few rods of school No. 4 and at the opening of school his children were admitted without obiection. and con tinued to attend until some time in October, when some of the white patrons of the school held a meeting and remonstrated against xneir aiienuance oy peuuoiimir u. uarvir, ' , , , , i Township Trustee, to exclude these colored .... K . , . ,r lT children from the school. Mr. Harvey re1 a 1 i i i : r . I ll...A fused lo grant their request, and they ap pealed the case to Countv Superintendent Harlan, who rendered a decision excluding the children from school 2so. 4, and requir ing them te attend school No. 3, over two miles from their home. After this decision Trustee Harvey appealed the case to State Superintendent, John M. Bloss, who rendered h'i decision last Saturday, reversing the decision of County Superintendent Harlan, and ordering that the children be re-instated to school No. 4 (white). Superintendent Bloss, in rendering his de snainn tri rot l!a intprnrptfllinn nf thf l.'iw on it necessary to misinterpret the law in order to make up his decision, as has been the case with some county Supt,s. and Trustees, who always so construe the law as to exciuüe colored children from school privileges, In f"ln?J? on 3, of ai K a proved May 13th 18G9, and amended March o, which says that "The Trustee or Trustees of such Township, town or city may organize theeoloretl children into separate schools oi wie lownsnip, town or city, havinir all the rights, privileges and advantages of all other schools of the Town ship, town or city." Superintendent Bloss makes the following statement: "The expression 'all the rights, privileges and advantages or all other schools of lown ship, town or city" certainly does not refer only to the branches stuuifU, quauncauon oi teachers, the school house and lUapiMjinments such as furniture, apparatus means of heat ing, ventilation, etc., but also must be construed to include as well the accommodations as the distance which pupils are reu ul red to travel to reach it, which distance must be rrasonable. Every child of school age, whether white or colored, is entitled under the law to school privileges, ihe location or a single eoioreti school In a Township is not necessarily a com pliance with the provisions of the above act. Tke Mortality Report of the Health Board for 1881. The Ileal th Board, through the Secretary, Dr. Elder, has compiled some interesting statistics relative to the deaths in Indianapo lis during the year 1881. The total number of deaths was 1,774, occurring as follows January, 139; February, 159; March, 168; April, 148; May, 130; June, 139; July, 202; August, 153; September, 149; October. 14G; November. T December, 119 Of the above 1,539 were whites and 235 colored; 891 males and 83 females.

July shows the greatest number of deaths, 202, caused by the intense heat, and the month of March is the next in order. As compared with 1S80 the deaths from consumption increased thirty six, and meningitis fifty-eight. As will be seen, the number of deaths from the former disease heads the list. The typhoid fever fatality advanced nineteen. The percentage of deaths to population is about one in forty-two. The report, taken as a whole, shows that the city's fatality was but little above the average, and in healthf ujness it has nearly held its own. I4TTI.B ABROAD, A small boy who for the first time noticed a cherry tree in blossom enthusiastically directed his mother s attention to the "popcorn tree." Harry," said & nurse, "didn't you hear your mother tell you to come right into the house?" "Yet. m did; but stop 'mindin' me of it; rsetwyln' to fordet it." A little girl when asked by her mother about suspicious bites in tho sides of a dozen apples, answered: "Perhaps, mama, they have been frott-bitUn ; it was so cold last night." A Sunday-school boy was asked what the meaning of the passage in the Bible about "Adam earning Dii bread by the sweat of his brow1 "I reckon it means a fellow must eat until the sweat just runs sff him." A little four-year-old girl was caperiDg around her mother's knee the other day, when the mother remarked. "Why, dear. ycu are certainly beside yourself." The little girl replied, "Why. ma. I fot I was be side ra " A little girl aged three went to Church re cently to see a christening. When on her return she was asked what she thought of the babv. she reolied: "It was a cood babv: It did not cry whea the gentleman wahed its head." A gentleman saw his little daughter diiTnine her doll babv's dress into a tin run and inquired: "What are you doing, my daughter?" "I'm coloring my doll's drees

Yes, I can, pa; because ma said it was beer tlat colored your nose eo red." The old man sighed as ho took the c olden - hiired, laughing boy upon lis knees and stroking his shining tresses, 6 id: "Ah, how mach 1 should like to feel like a child again."

Minnie had just been corrected by her mother for naughtiness. She was sitting quietly in the library'after the correction, when some one started to open the door. "Don't do that!" Minnie exclaimed. "Why, lujr cuiiui wust uarm is luera in opening the door?" "Oh. mamma iusl drove naughty out doors, and I'm afraid if you open the door it will come back and catch me!"

You picked the pecans on Onion Creek, yoi say," said an Austin reporter to a young man, yesterday, on a wagon filled with pecans. Yes, sir," be replied, "that's where they came from." "Many up there?" "Plenty of them." "Believe I'll try a few." quizzed the re porter, taking a big handful of the pecans.

"What was it?" asked the reporter, crackr ft twtAa t ing a pecan "lherewasa man got eighteen buckshot in him near where I live." 'Who shot him?" "I did." "What did vou shoot him for?" asked the reporter, aghast. "i or stealing some of my pecans outof my wagon," said tne countrvruan, reaching un der the seat for his shotgun. The reporter hastily replaced the pecans in the wagon, and after calling the country man Colonel, disappeared around tne corner. Pope told this story: "The night after King Charles I. was beheaded my Lord Southampton and a friend of his got leave to eit by the body in the banqueting-house at Whitehall. As they were sitting very melancholy there, about two o'clock in the morning, thev heard the treid of somebody coming very slowly up the stairs. By and by the door opened and a man entered, very much muffled up in his cloak and his face quite hid in it. lie approached the body, considered it very attentively for some time, and then shook his head and sighed out the words, 'cruel neceity.' He then departed ... in the samo slow and concealed manner as he had come in. Lord Southampton used to say that he could not distinguish anything of his face, but by his voice and gait he took him to bo Oliver Cromwell." M Us Maria Parloa, the founder of the Boston Cooking School, addressed the Uli nois Social Science Association at its last public meeting.
