The act to allow women to practice 1 before the Supreme Court of the

United States is now a law, having been signed by the President.

Congressman H. C. Burcbard, of Frseport, 111., has been appointed Director of the Mint in the place of Dr. Llnderman. His appointment is hailed as a victory for those opposed to the single, or. gold standard. Mr. Burcbard has been in Congress during the ten years past, and for six years of the time has been a member of tbe Committee on Ways and Means.

Washington special says: There Is no doubt of tbe passage of the bill by tbe Senate, restricting Chinese emigration by a maj rity proportionately as large as that given in the House. The Chinese legation are very much agitated on the subject. A member of the legation Baid that they bad not anticipated any sueh legislation and bad taken no thought as o actis, n in case the bill passed, which apeared very probable to them. They ceuld not allow the bill to be signed by the President, however, without entering a protest against what was plainly a violation of treaties with China. Farther than this they could not anticipate their action.

The Legislature will fail in one of its most important duties if it does not put a check upon the garntsheemeat of laborers' wages, at borne and abroad. The abuse of this method of collecting debts has become an infamous evil, that cries aloud for redress. The creditor always has his remedy tn his own haads. If be is not sure of getting bis pay, be need not giye the credit. There is no justice or equity tn placing the additional power of op pressing and outraging the debtors he may toll Into his trap, in his hands. Senator Kablo understands this matter fully, and will de what he can for the worklngman. Let us hope that he may accomplish much. Logansfort Journal. The Democratic editors seem to be getting scared at the work the Legis tature is cot doing, and frantically call on Democrats to so to woik and enact some laws that will, at least, bare tbe appearance of benefitting somebody. From lake Michigan to the Ohio river these papers are declaring that this Legislature is squandering the people's money at a rate anprecedented in tbe history of law making in this State, and they think that as the Legislature is Democratic the people will hold ti at party re sponsible. And it is not improbable ibat they will, but tbe people ought to have known better than to send Democrats to Indianapolis to make taws for the State.

A Washington Special to tbe daily papers says: The president has re eeived a large number of letters from distinguished women in all parts of the country thanking him in the name of their sex for approving the act ad mining women to practice in he supreme court, and thus extending the sphere of woman's usefulness. The Justices of the supreme court do not, however, share in this rejoicing, as they once decided unanimously that women were not qualified to practice at their bar, and one of them at the White House reception Saturday remarked to some ladies, who were quizzing him about it, that they intended to turn their consultation rooms into a nursery, where the women who wanted to argue cases before them could leave their babies.

The Secretary of the Treasury has informed Congress that it will probably require about .twenty-seven mil Uon of dollars more to pay tne ex peases ef the government during the next fiscal year than he will probably get unless the deficit is provided for by an increase of taxation or in some e her way. This is the result cf the reforms inaugurated by the Democratic Congress which took po-aes-hlon of the House of Representatives two years ago promuiag retienchmeat aud reform. It baa leduced the revenue and wasted the people's money in useless investigations, and mown its utter inability to manage the affairs of the natiou. It looks a little like what Dick Oglesby said a few years ago, is true, "that the Democracy have not the ability to manage the affairs of so great a govern uient as ours successfully even if they have the inclination to do right," wai h they do not seen to possess to any gteat -xtent.

A letter to the New York Herald fiorn Brazil gives a frightful picture of the drought, famine and pestllenee raging in the northern portico of that country for more than a year past. It is said to be the greatest calamity In two hundred years. Half a million people were swept away by starvation and disease. Small-pox and black plague carried off their victims in appalling num bers, aad thousands of bodies were rotting in the open trench s at Lagoa Funda. Thousands of other corpses were torn and devoured by wild animals, and the peasants ate their own offspring. Some places, including the city of Cerea, have been depopulated. In the terrible struggle for life children were abandoned and the young souls sold for bread. Thousands of liviug skeletons were to be seen. Government aid was tardy. The letter presents pictures of woe su?h r.s scarcely can be paralleled in history except by the siege of Jerusalem and the black death which devested Europe in the fourteenth ceo tury.

of one of their exhibitions. The entrance to the Blind Asylum Is up a flight of broad steps of gianite, leading into a spacious ball, with a reception room on one band and parlor on tbe other. A large part of tbe first floor of tbe building is occupied by these rooms which are furnished with every kind of ornament that wealth and luxury can require. After leaving the soft Brussells carpet, the feet strike the bard floor of a hall, from whioh branch off the school rooms with very ordinary seats and desks for tbe pupils. The eoutrast of the surroundings in tbe guests' and the children's apartments are disagreeable in the extreme. After passing up a flight of winding iron stairs, we enter the chapel, with its longs wooden benches aad straight backs, like those in a Quaker meeting bouse. After being seated, tbe pupils file in, the girls from one end of the room and the boys from the other, seating themselves by feeling their way by one another to their places. There are 120 pupils here now, very nearly equally divided boys and girls from three up to twenty years of age, and with every imaginable variety of sore eyes. As they sat beneath the blaze of tbe strong gas light, their eye balls were in constant motion, trying to receive the light which they seemed to know was cast upon them, yet which they could not make of any use. Tbe ex ercises consisted cf singing, readiug and writing, in which branches they had acquired great proficiency. They are taught music by being told how it is written on the staff and the value of each charaoter, so that in order to perform it on the piauo or organ they must see the notes and rests oe the staff in the mind ; but although they make cheerful and agreeable music, it is painful to observe the loss of tho&e windows of the soul whioh

alone can give expression to music They read, by means of raised letters, the Bible, whioh is printed in full for ! the us? of the blind. They write by means of a species of telegraphic '

characters or letters, which they make on paper with a stylus and read tbe opposite side by feeling with their

Angers. These children are oljecta of pity j and of charity, and every one must j sympathize with the blind; and it seems a species of mockery to sur-1

round them with all those luxuries, not one of which they can or do enjoy. They sit on hard wooden benches all day long. Their little feet never feel the soft pressure of costly carpets, nor are their person's permitted to repose in those velvet, upholstered chairs. They go in and out by a private way, and can never : know or realize the costly provisions

our State has made for her blind. J. M. Co.NFF.B.

It is thought that should the Chinese bill become a law the Empire will abrogate the whole treaty. A veto by the President is considered certain even if the House again receives it favorably. Dr. George H. Gray, of Denison, Texas, who distinguished himself by professional services at Holly Springs during the epidemic, committed suicide Saturday aigbt by shooting himself through the bead, for which no cause is assigned. United States District Attorney Seward presented, Friday and Saturday 32 additional indictments, involving 100 arrests, for violation of the United States election law ia the parishes of Caddo, Tensas, Rapids, and Natchitoches. Henry Bowers, Judge of the election in Baltimore at the Congressional election, for refusing permission to tbe United States supervisor to inspect the ballot-box before the voting began, was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and fined. A frightful catastrophe oocurred In the village of Somerville, thirty miles from Augusta, Friday. Ephraim Hyster and wife left home in the morning to do some trading, ieeving their three children, aged four, two and a half years and eight months, alone at home. By some means tbe house caught fir and before aid arrived tbe building and contents were destroyed, and the three children pershing iu the flames. Adout a year ago another child of the same persons burned to death.

In Massachusetts there are a number of Chinese young men who are receiving education at the expense af their own government One of them, says the New York Times, "was backward in bis studies. His case was duly re ported to tbe authorities at Pekin. In due time, there arrived an imperial mandate, which read.' "Send him home and we will cut off his head.' " Denis Kearney should fall down and worship the "authorities at Pekiu." It is Just what Denny hue wanted to do with tbe whole crowd in America

Walnut Township Teachers' Institute. Teachers of Walnut township met Saturday, Feb. 1st, at school bouse No. 1, as per adjournment. Trustee Qulvey not being present, the institute was called to order by N. E. Barr, after which C. W. Shakes was chosen Chairman pro tern. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and accepted. Tbe following teachers were present: N. . Barr, S. 8. Fish, C. W. Shakes, AlUe Bair, Jacob Eidson, Ellas Boyce. Subjects disposed of as follows: Mental Arithmetic, Miss AI lie Bair; How to Prevent Whispering, N, E. Barr; Manner of Dismissing School each Evening and Why, Elias Boyce. Adjournment for dinner. After returning of thanks by Mr. Campbell, teachers and visitors piesent partook freely of a bountiful dinner prepared by the good ladies of District No. 1, who cannot be beaten In prepaiing good things to eat If any one doubts it, Just ask Bro. Shakes and Beyce, who will vouch for our word. At one o'clock the meeting was called to order again and business resumed. Subjects: Essay on School Government, by S. S. Fish ; How a Teacher Should Employ his Time from 8JJ0 to y a. m., Jacob Eidson; How to Keep Small Scholars Busy, C. W. Shakes. No further business claiming attention, the institute adjourned to Aeet at Walnut, Saturday, March 1st. IfffeV C. W. Shakes, Curia. N. E. Bau, Sec,

Repreeentative Saint has Introduced a bill in our Legislature, inak ing it competent for nine jurors to return a verdict.

A Maine editor advocated retrench ment, and muat have been pleased when a week later the $1,100 office held by his son in the Belfast Custom House was abolished. Mr. Bruce was called to the chair in the United Stated Senate Friday, the first time in the history of the government that a colored man has presided in the Senate. If vindication means renoralnation, tbe Democrats are in for it, for certainly Mr. Tilden has not been vindicated by any testimony before tbe Potter committee. Indianapolis News. An Iowa mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Upright, of Butler County, Iowa, having given eloven sons to the army, has had her petition granted that the youngest be discharged from service. The Commissioner of Pensions thinks that by grading pensions $10000,000 can be saved. He says the present Arrears-of -Pension law is difficult of construction, and suggests amendments. Peter Cooper, now 89 years old, says that at 21 he was so feeble be could ct hold a oup of tea to his lips, but by avoiding dissipation and attending strictly to business, he made himself strong and rich. American coal, shipped frem Philadelphia to Marseilles, and sent thence by rail to Switzerland, is sold in Geneva for less than German and French eoal, and the quality is admitted to be superior.

Nearly all the Southern papers that supported Tilden for the nomination in 1876, are now bitterly opposed to his nomination In 1880. A free use of the contents of that new barrel which he is supposed to have opened, may however, bring them round in his favor. Hon. Zach Chandler said, ia hia speech accepting the nomination for Senator, that Tilden was tbe greatest fraud on earth, and that, so far as his connection with the campaign ef 1876 was concerned, there was not a thing done that he would be ashamed to see in print. A New York special says Colenel Pelton is sufferiug from nervous protraction. After his own and uncle Tilden's testimony before the Potter committee, one would expeot him to be nervous. Uncle Tilden has been so long in tbe swindling business that such things do not knock him off bis feet.

The Buffalo Express says: "Mr. Tilden recently had the measels, but didn't show it as men usually do. Mr. Pelton took all the medeclne, and did all the breaking out for him." At Owenaboro, Ky., Miss Anna C. Darble, a handsome young lady from Fort Branch, Ind., entered Judge Scott's court-room and walloped Ed Boone, a prominent young man, till the sheriff interfered. She said Boone had tlandered her, and she used a big black snake whip. A Democratic paper says: "With negroes whipping the pick of British troops in South Africa, and with a colored man presiding over tbe United States Senate Friday, it would seem as though black was getting to be destiny's favorite hue. The Caucasian isn't played out, but the African is gradually coming to his heritage." Hon. George Williams, United State-i minister to Central America, is paid to have resigned the position to accept the superintedency of a silver mine. His salary as minister was ten thousand dollars a year; and as Williamson must kaow that "a bird in hand is worth two in tbe bush," be undoubtedly considers the silver mine a good one. Minister Kasson, writing from Vienna, says the Russian plague excites great alarm in Germany, Austria, and Hungary; that nearly all the patients have died, aad six army surgeons and nearly all who came in

contact with tbe dead bad died, although disinfectants were freely used. The mortality among the sick in some places was equal to 100 per cent. The returns of the New York customs house. for January this year are

$25,657.428; for Jauuary last year, $24,626,680. Tbe exports for the same month this year were $23,793,428; for the same month last year, $20,182,992. So there is a steady decline of exports aad increase of imports. The cause of tbe former is in part the bad weather, which interfered with western transforation. "Of prominent Cinninnnti newspaper men Mural Halstead, of tbe Commercial, is the handsomest and ablest ; Deacon Smith, of tbe Gaielle, the crockedest in the legs and the straightest iu the 111 rah; Colonel A. C. Sands, of the Times, the biggest around tbe middle and the shrewdest; Johuny McLean, of the Enquirer. the sharpest nosed for news and the quickest to get it, and A. Minor Grlswold, of the Saturday Night, to? funniest, and the surest on telling what's in a bottle from the smell of the c-erk." Ashland (Ky.) Review. Peter Cooper's birthday, February 12, was his eighty-ninth. All New York united in congratulating him. "Do you know," said a gentleman whose hair is almost as white as that of the friend of whom ho was speaking, "that Peter Cooper has given an education and the means of making a livelihood by the use of their liigher faculties to neaily thirty thousand men and women, wl.ile other thousands have been, employed by him

during hh long and successful business

life, in the humbler labors to which they werre fitted. If I could say, as Mr. Cooper can, 'bread have I put in to the mouths of thousands, and food have I given to as many more,' I would be tbo proudest man in America, sir." Green Townnliip Teachers' Institute. Tbe teachers of Green township met in institue at Shirley school bouse, Saturday, February 15, 1879. According to programme, J. L. Atkinson tuugbt school in tbe forenoon. The following classes were reviewed : First, second, third aad fifth readers. The reading was exoellent, and we doubt whether there is a reading class in the county that is their superior. History, too, was very good, and we heartily indorse his method of teaching history. Next came physiology, which was recited with accuracy and promptness, followed by grammar, it being the pupils' favorite study; this clase certainly is without an equal. Arithmetic oame neit in order, the reeitation of which was also excellent and complete; and, lastly, came geography, on which twenty minutes' time was allowed, and which proved to be the most interesting recitation of all. The pupils drew a map of South America, locating mountains, capes, bays, gulfs, islands and capitals all from memory, with great accuracy. The pupils did honor to themselves and credit to the teachers, and deserve the praise of all well-wishers of education. After this visit to Mr. Atkinson's school, we heartily indorse the notice in last week's paper, claiming this to be the "model school of tbe county," and we now knowingly claim that his school is without a rival. At twelve o'clock we partook of an exoellent dinner, and, Mr. Editor, if you doubt it. taste of the accompanying cake and Judge for yourself. While we were partaking of the bountiful repast, we did not forget "ye editors," but aaved a portion for you. But It is impossible for pen or words to name tbe many good thinga prepared by the ladies of the district We are compelled to drop the pen and exclaim, in tbe language of the Bible: "Twelve baskets would not oontain the fragments" left after the inner man had been amply satisfied. At the afternoon session, Trustee Zumbaugh being present, J. L. Atkinaon invited him to take tbe chair, which he did. Comments on the forenoon session were made by J. F. Langenbaugb, which were fully concurred in by ail present. Next came cube root, by J L. Atkinson. The method advanced by him, and approved by Mr. Langenbaugh, diffets from the

ordinary methed presented by our common text books, but so procise, replete and practical was he that all efforts upoa the part of the institute to enforce the methods presented by Walter, French, White and others proved a failure. Other methods were presented, and ably discussed by Martindale, O'Blenis, W. E. Ashcraf t and others favoi ing the " blocks," while Prof. Langenbaugh and J. L. Atkinson favored the factoring method. The institute then adjourned sine die. Jacob Zcmbauoh, Ch'm. J. M. O'Blenis, Sec. County Sunday School Convention. The Marshall county Sunday echool convention met at the Argos M. E.

The masquerade ball given at Centennial Hall Wednesday night of last week, by the ladies of the Hebrew Aid Society of this city, was a grand success. Over a hundred couple were in attendance, and among them manv ladies aud gentlemen from a distance. The reoeipts were about $156 00, and

about eighty dollars in excess of ex penses. The ball did not close until three o'clock Thursday morning; tbe best of order prevailed, all enjoyed themselves and all went well.
