Not in the spirit of fault-finding do we write this article, and we hope our School Board will not regard it in that light, but for the best interests of the children of the city and the schools of the city, do we submit these thoughts for their consideration.

The scene which took place in the House, yesterday, in relation to the bill to equalize the bounties of soldiers in the late war, illustrates the carelessness that attends much of the legislation of that body, and the ease with which an objectionable bill may be forced through," toward the close of the session, by a little shrewd and unscrupulous management. The bill referred to involves the expend!

them far more thail it' would the .soldiers. Twice before, we believe, the same bill was passed by the House and defeated in the Senate. Yesterday it was passed again by a trick, which' was discovered by Mr. Dawes when it was too late. Advantage was avowedly taken of his temporary absence, the reading dispensed with and the bill passed as if by unanimous consent, few being aware 'of its real nature. We trust the House will rebuke these tactics by reconsidering the bill and defeating it. At any rate the Senate can prevent its becoming a law.—TV Times.

A Frightful Leap.

Yesterday morning as the fast Express was on its way to this city from Cleveunusual incident occurred.

JMonroeville the train was behind time and the engineer crowded on steam to gain his time. A young woman got on the tram at Monroeville to go to Bellevue. but on learning that the train would not t&ltf

atter

the morning, and another »et

in the afternoon. It does seem to us that there is mucn wisdom in this idea. Three hours each day commencing at 9 o'clock A. M., is long enough to confine children under 12 years of age. They Will advance just as rapidly, take the whole year together, in this manner, as by teaching them three horn's in the forenoon and the same length of time in the afternoon. In the afternoon from, say li o'clock P. M., until 5o o'clock confine the session to boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 20 years of age. Four hours in each day is enough time to devote to study, for persons of this age. Certainly children under the age of 12 years should not be forced to study as long each day as children of more mature age. Now, Ave believe under our present system, the little girls and the little boys commence their lessons at the same hour and are dismissed at the same time, with the big girls and boys. There must be error in this. The unmatured mind of the boy of 12 years, cannot, as a general thing, be forced as much as the more matured mind of the boy of 15 or 20 years. This, v, think, is metaphysically true.

If this be true, then why are all the children put into school the same hour, and dismissed the same hour? We are not finding fault with our city schools, for indeed we do not know what is the practice in this city, but we do know that there are not two sessions the same day, and we do think there might be and the interest of the scholars advanced, and the necessity of more school houses done away with.

Nothing, in our judgment, is more detrimental to intellectual advancement, than overtasking the pupil. It prevents anything like a healthy mental development, and in many cases gives a dislike to study, which lasts through a whole life. The forcing process is carried to an alarming extent, in

all the

schools of the

times. A bright, sprightly, intellectual scholar, in order that he m^iy act as an advertisement of the teacher's skill and gratify the vanity of the parents, is forced beyond reason, and like a plant forced beyond its nature, tho first blast of winter dwarfs it, and it dies. So common has this practice become in the schools of the whole country, that the merits of teachers are measured by the averages of their pupils, and, therefore, constant inducements are held out to tasking children beyond their powers. This is wrong and ought to be stopped.

Now, if it is the fact that children of different ages should be kept in school different lengths of time, and that

three

hours in each day is long enough for children under 12 years of age, and that

four

hours in each day is long enough to keep older children at their books, then why not adopt the system of having two sessions each day the first in the

forenoon

for the younger, and the second in the afternoon for the older children There may be good and sufficient reasons why this ought not to be, and perhaps can not be done, but with our present light we must confess we are unable to see it.

These suggestions seem to us to be appropriate at this time, as our very intelligent board of School Trustees are about to build two new school houses at a cost of $40,000. If this expenditure of money can be avoided, and the comfort and mental advancement of tke children of the city not in the least endangered, then it ought to be. We certainly would suggest nothing, or advocate nothing, that would disturb in the least the future efiiciency and prosperity of our city schools, but if their efficiency and prosperity can be as well secured, and 840,000 saved, it would be right and most proper to do it.

The conductor saw the movement of the lady, but did not suspect her intent inn until it was too late to defeat her pose, and she leaped from the platform and went whirling in the air and bound ing from the earth in such a manner that those who saw the leap had no doubt of her instant destruction. The train was stopped, backed up, and the lady was found uninjured. She was brought to Bellevue and thus got her ride and secured the stoppage of the train, in defiance of the rules and regulations of the road. The ground where she made the fearful leap was sandy, which accounts, in a measure, for .lier miraculous escape. ~2oledo Commercial,

The Now Albany Ledger is responsible for the following: There is an editor who is having a first rate time, out in the northern part of Indiana. The ladies of a town out there have given to,the edi tor of the paper an embroidered shirt which contains the pictorial history of Indiana, including a portion of Illinois all worked in red worsted. The editor never wore a shirt in his life, and thought it was a banner for the, temperence pro cession which was to eoine oft'the next week. So he made a little speech of thanks, in which he said "he would fling it out forever to the breezes of heaven that they might kiss its folds, and that until his hand palsied it should never be trailed in the dust." The ladies didn't understand him, and when he talked about its trailing they blushed and said they were sorry they had made it too long. A Gommiftec man took the editor aside, and explained the shirt to him in a whisper, and the next day he appeared at the office with the shirt on, over his coat. He wrote four columns of explana tion for his paper. The shirt is much ad mired by the boyp of the,, town, and,they study the history of Indiana and the fine arts

From the Pall Mall Gazette, May 19. TREASURE TROTE.

Successful Attempt to Recover Valuables Sunk Two Centuries Ago. The attempt to recover the treasure sunk in Vigo Bay more than 150 years ago is turning out successful. Alter 19 days' search made with diving bells, fifteen gullions are reported to have been found lying at a depth of a few hundred feet, and on knocking a hole into her side of the Almirante some ingots, plates and valuable arms were found by the divers. However, further researches have been suspended for the moment, until the enstom house authorities shall have conceded a safe place to deposit the treasure. The Almirante and her consorts were sent to the bottom during the war of Spanish succession, and have remained immersed in the port of a poverty stricken nation during the whole time of the Bourbon occupation. Hardly had Queen Isabella been driven from the throne than a Spanish banker, long settled in Paris, made overtures to the government at Madrid, and on condition of handing over nearly half the treasure in case of success, M. Periere received permission to look for the sunken ingots. As the galleons have been lying at the bottom since the year 1802, some time was necessarily rquired to free them from a large accumulation of sand, but letters from Spain say that this part of the task has been accomplished. A French account of the Vigo affair says that Count Chateau-Renault was ordered to escort the India fleet returning from Vera Cruz, when it was chased by 150 Dutch and English vessels. Chateau-Renault wished to run into a French port, but the Spanish Admiral, Don Manuel de Velasco, obstinately refused. Hence the Vigo disaster, which surpassed that of the Hague. Eighteen French vessels and 28 galleons, laden with wealth, were taken or destroyed, and there was hardly time, through the energy of the French Captain, to send a few millions ashore. Lord Malion, whose version is somewhat different, dwells at some length on the circumstances attending this affair. He says that our fleet was on its way back to England when the Duke of Ormond received intelligence that the treasure ship had gone into Vigo to avoid him. The cargo was said to consist of $3,000,000, besides much

Journal,

The Petersburg, Pike county, Brest says: "The past week has been a busj time to the tobacco growers in this coun ty. The rains have made the ground ii 1 excellent order to set out the youn

lants. In a few years Pike county wii among the largest tobacco growin counties in the State, and she is behir 5 very few now." 'a

English

and

T" lit oh Admirals and Generals resolved on an action. The Spaniards might have saved their treasure by landing it, but there was a fundamental law against galleons unloading anywhere but at Ca diz, and the Chamber of Commerce refused to abate one jot of its privilege. The matter had to be referred to the Council of India and that body deliberated just a day too long. ChateauRenault and Don Manuel threw up a few feeble defences at the mouth of the harbor, but the English ships broke the boom thrown across the entrance, and Ormond and his soldiers stormed the forts. The French burned their ships, and made their escape ashore. The conquerors shared some millions of dollars, and some more millions were sunk. According to Lafuente the doubloons got on shore through Gallic energy were soon captured, and "immense riches in gold, silver and precious merchandise disappeared under the waves." We shall soon know what^amount of wealth has been lying idle in so unaccountable a manner since 1702.

Sad Picture of New York First Families. Correspondence Rochester Democrat. Among our first families, the family relation is very pecular. Here is a husband who loves his wife so tenderly that he keeps away from, her as much as possible. He is a business man, and gets home at midnight, or later, being detained down town by office duties. What a blessed ''excuse that word "business" is, and how, like charity, it does cover a multitude of sins Where are those business men from 10 P. M. until the little hours of the morning set in What strange stories might be told of that business they are so often pleading as. an excuse for absence. These mpn have children, but how much do they know of them? When do they see them? A glimpse, perhaps, on Sunday. The wife, on the other hand, has her house, with its fine furniture* its

pictures,

its $1,000

piano, its equipage, &c., everything but domestic felicity. The children grow up. They have no home. That splendid dwelling has no domestic attachments. They wander off to the club, house, to Delmonico's, and similar resorts, to find that chper denied them under their parents' roof What relation do these children bear to their parents? They are simply nuisances. If daughters, they are eajjly instructed in the mysteries of fashion, and create an endless drain oi* the purse,, while if boys, they are packed away to boarding school, where the lessons in mischief find apt scholars. It is wonderful to see how. 'full of the devil' these fellows get before they are fourteen. What is the idea they entertain of a mother A woman that dresses in fine clothes and sits chatting in the parlor, while they are playing with the servant. What is their idea of a father It that of a strange man of whom they stand in fear, who appears once a week or so in the family. He is 'the governor" or the 'old man.' He has money, aad that gives him importance, and the great question is how to tap his jurse—-money must be had. It may be coaxed out of the mother, but the 'governor' is not so easily managed. From him it must be obtained in another way, and in that way it is obtained. What a paternal condition "is this? A man of the world has a brace or more wild sons who are going to rain as fast as possible. They are his masters now, and money they will have. I knew one of these fellowrs to write his father thus "I want you to send me $100, and never ask me any questions,.* What a blissful relation did these hold toward each ^jther The son. ran through all manner of dissipation,, was a gambler, rake, and drunkard,, and by enlisting while in a state of intoxication, died in the service. I lately asked one of these youth concerning his brother. 'Don't rtnow where Dick is,' was the reply. had a blow up with the Governor and cleared out,' He had not, however, gone off empty lauded, as the Governor's diminished stock of 'Governments' can testify. One of these Governors recently attempted to stop his son's late hours-by turning the key upon him. He never did this but once. The ingenious youth did not need a key. He pitched a paving stone through the plate glass window of the second story, and this needed no repetition. The next night he was not locked out. Most of these youth bring the governor into a treaty of neutrality with a regular subsidy. 'My son/ quoth one of these governors to another, 'will have $2,000 a year. It's too much I know but what can you do about it The boy is ruined and you can't make him any more so.' When the boy has got his allowance it is all right. The governor sees him but seldom, and never interferes with his schemes of pleasure. The boy is on the go all the time—races, theaters, and gaming prove more fascinating than the dull receptions and evening parties. Several grand balls were given last winter among the demi-monde, and the chief were found among our fast young

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD. "The life of the flesh is in the Blood," is a Scripture maxim that science proves to be true. The people talk of bad' blood, as the cause oi many diseases, and, like many popular opinions, this of bad blood is founded in truth

ity, and the tongue becomes pale, broad, and frequently covered with a pasty, white coat. This condition soon shows itself in roughnesstii the skin, then in EUUPTIVE and TJIjCEHATIVE diseases, and, when long continued, results in serious lesions of the Brain, Liver, Lungs, or Urinary Apparatus. Much, very much, suffering is caused by impure blood. It is estimated by some that one-tilth of the human family are affected with scrofula of some form.

IS A REMEDY OF

WONDERFUL EFFICACY

In the Cure of Diseases of the

KIDNEYS AND BLADDER.

In these Affections it is as near a specific as any remcdv can be. It does its work KINDLY, .SILENTLY, and SURELY. The belief which it affords is both certain and perceptible.

Diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder.

Persons unacquainted with the structure and functions of the Kidneys cannot estimate the IMPORTANCE of their HEALTHY ACTION,

Regular and sufficient action of the Kidneys is as important, nay, even more so, than regularity of the bowels. The Kidneys remove from the Blood those effete matters which, if permitted to remain, would speedily destroy life. A total suspension of the urinary discharges will occasion death in from thirty-six to forty-eight hours.

When the Urine is voided in small quantities at the time, or when there is a disposition to Urinate more frequently than natural, or when the Urine is high' colored, or scalding, with weakness in the small of the back, it should not be trilled with or delayed, but Koskoo should be taken at once to remedy the difficult tv, before a lesion of the organs takes place. Most of the diseaees of the Bladder originate from those of the Kidneys, the Urine being im» perfectly secreted in the Kidneys, prove irritating to the Bladder and Urinary passages. When we recollect that medicine never reaches the Kidneys except through the general circulation of the Blood, we see how necessary it is to keep the Fountain of Life Pure.
