One day last December the people of Newark, New Jers y, were greatly annoyed by a taste of carbolic acid in the ciiy water, supplied from the Pas saic River. The matter was investi gated, and the contamination was traced to a paper mill ten or twelve miles up the river, where an incredi bly small amount of carbolic acid had been allowed to get iuto the water.. If the report of Mr. Geo. Shepard Page is correct, the occurrence will furnish a new illustration of the won derful divisibility of matter, and the extreme delicacy of the sense of taste. Mr. Page says, in a letter to the Tribune: "The paper mill of the Messrs. Kingsland is located on the Third Hiver, a stream of considerable mag nitude, two miles from where it emp ties into the Passaic. From the latter point to the pumping station of the Newark Water Works is also two miles. The volume of water in the Third River is not less than 2,000,000 gallons per day. The Messrs. Kings land, among other specialities, car boiize paper by immersion in a bath of the best liquid carbolic acid of a quality such as is used in medicinal preparations. In the process of man ufacture there is a small percentage of waste paper. No paper has been carbolized since last June, when nm over a hundred pounds of waste 01 torn paper were placed In the loft of the mill where it remained until the last of December. It is well known to chemists .flid many intelligent per sons that carbolic acid (really an alcohol) evaporates rapidly when ex posed to the air. To the sense of smell theie is no evidence of carbolic acid in this waste paper when the Messrs. Kingsland decided, in Decem ber, to work it up again. Dust hav ing accumulated on it, washing in the mill pond was necessary. A few davs after this a percepti ble taste of carbolic acid was no ticed by the people of Newark, not only in the drinking water, but also in tea and coffee made of boiling wa ter. As an absolute fact, not over ten pounds (a gallon) of carbolic acid had been used in thi paper when treated. Certainly 80 per cent had evaporated. leaving not over seven pounds to per meate 200.000.000 gallons of wate a portion of which was aerated by pass ing over rapids and dam?, through four miles of river, seven miles of pipe, an'Vtonntless tans.

Pardon me the space occupied by this narrative, but so remarkable a scientific fact de serves to be recorded. Of course no injurious effects would be experienced as a single carbolic troche would con tain more acid than a thousand gal lons of Passaic water. Indeed, a ken eficial effect should be felt (of course to a limited extent) in neutralizing Paterson and Passaic sewerage, below which cities Newark and New Jersey City obtain most of their water sup ply." m e A gentleman recently from northern Nebraska and Dakota informs us that the reports current of the great loss of stockmen and ethers by the death of cattle this winter are not exaggerated. He says that in the northern part of the state it has been one almost con tinual blizzard, with more snow than ever was known before in that sec lion. The snow is from eighteen inches to two feet deep in many places on a level, and what grass there is can-' net be reached by the cattle, and starvation therefore is 'he conse quence. On the Cheyenne liver in Dakota, the loss has been unusually great, cattle having died there this winter in great numbers from starva tion. The same condition of the stock exists further south, with the same corresponding loss. We have an idea that the troubles of this winter will be a lesson to many- rais ers of stock, who will prepare for cold weather better than they have done heretofore. Journal.

Y., a village on tr.eline of the Erie railway, waspre senttd with a pair of tloves. One" day three weeks ago, they were flying across the railroad track, when the male bird came in collision with the smoke-stack of the Pacific express, which passes the spot about 7 o'clock in the morning. The bird was ki'led by the shock and instantly thrown out of sight of his mate. The female circled about the spot, for a few min utes, in evident amazement at the sud den disappearance of her mate. Hhe then flew to a mile-post near by and for a long time gave utterance to the mournful notes chai actei istic of the dove. Suddenly she seemed to realize what had carried the male from her sight, and she rose in the air and flew swiftly in the direction the train had gone. She did not return untill about noon. She alighted at her cote, where she remained the rest of the day ut'.ir ing her plaintive cries. Next morning, just before 7 o'clock, she was seen to fly away and take a position near the spot where she hist saw her mate the day before. When the express train came along she flew at the locomotive, hovered aboiu the smoke-stack and around the cab as if looking for her mate. She accompanied the locomo tive for a mile or so and then return ed to her cote. Everyday since thei she has repealed this strange conduct. She goes to Mr lookout for the train at precisely the same time each tior ning and waits until the train comes along, no matter how late it may be. She never goes further than about a mile with the train, returning to her cote and mourning piteously all day. For the Teuiig People.

How a Large School Was Made a Ite - public and Its Pii)lls Trained in SelMioTernuieut I ho Origin of the Scheme n nd the Methods Pursued Monte Incidents of the Work. Some years ago it struck me as very strange that, although self-government is acknowledged by all to be the very basis of our republic, it was sever taught in our schools, so that no prac tical preparation whatsoever was made for future citizenship, and very little even of theoretical instruction given in our gravest duties. Having determined to try thee"Tperi ment in my own school, I took advant age of a recitation in geography one morning to ask: "What is the government of this country we are speaking of?" "A monarchy." "What is the government of our own country?" "A republic." "What is the government of our school ?" "A republic." "No." "What is it then, sir?" "A limited monarchy." "Why? We are not your subjects." "Yes, you are. Your parents have delegated to me certain powers, and you must obey my orders as long as they see fit to leave vou here." "Well, sir, we don't like to be any one's subjects; we prefer to be repub licans." "Do you think yourselves capable of self-governmet r" "Yes, sir." "Well, 1 have no objection to trying you : but wo must do so by degrees. I shall trv you for one hour first." "What sir! Won't you mark us at all for any thing we do?" "No; always provided that you do not disturb the business of the school, for that must go on ." "Very well, sir." We tried it for an hour, then for two hours, then for a day. then for a week. At the end of the week I told them I was very much gratified wi.h their power of self-government, and propos ed, as a reward, that we snouiu igo on Tuesdav afternoon to a book-printing establishment: but alas! on Monday they received two warnings, and were told that a third disturbance would cause the downfall of their republic. The warnings were not heeded; a third came crash went the republic, and the old monarchy rose upon its ruins. The contrast was disageeabla. The free republican of a moment ago, who had been "a law unto himself," was new a subject, " cabined, cribbed, confined." his incomings and his out goings noted, and all his short-comings caret ully marked. Une urignt, open faced youngster soon came up and said: Mr. M , it isn't fair to. expect so much of us on Monday, because it conies right after Saturday and Sunday, and it takes us some time to get into the school ways aaain." "Then you are net to be considered as capable of self-government unless you can resist the influences of Mon day as well as of all the other days." "Yes, sir." "Very well, we will try it again." They succeeded in governing them selves for the rest of the week and the Monday following. We went to the publishing establishment and enjoyed it. Then, however, graver questions arose. If the iw.vs were to govern themselves entirely they must decide about everything, but the lessons must be learned and feci ted, order must be kept, and the school work must go on Te satisfy these difffrt nt ideas it was agreed that the teachers should be just as absolute as before; th :t the boys should be marked for conde. and les sons as before; prompt o'ledience should be required and no discussions allowed during school time; but at re cess and after school anybody could appeai from any of the teachers' de cisions to a jury ot three boys (Uiey were semetimes tailed judges), one chosen by himself, one by the teacher and a third by these two; and from the decision of these judges there should be no appeal. This seemed a hazard ous experiment, and it was so. T eir virtue was not strong enough at first to resist temptation. The troublesome boys appealed to have their conduct marks canceled, and the lazy boys to have their recitation marks increased. Their comrades on the juries obeyed their fellow-feeling rather than their sense of justice. I protested against many of the decisions as out. rageously unjust, and warned them continued injustice would necessa. ily produce the downfall of their whole system. I submitted, Lowever, to all the decisions of the juries, waiting pa tiently for the tide to turn; and it did so. i had previously prepared ti eir minds for this by conversations, the drift of which they had not perceived. Reside this their own consciences whispered to them of their injustice to one who submitted while he protested. and the industrious boys began to see that the lazy fellows were getting just as high marks as themselves, without the trouble of working for them. My patient submission was rewarded. The judges began to decide now in my fa vor, and against the lazy ones. W hen the lattei grumbled I said to them. with unction : "Protest, if you choose, but you must submit as I did." Our experiment succeeded, and for more than twenty years my school has been thus governed. I here is an ap peal from every teacher to the princi pal, and an appeal from him to three jurymen, or judges, as they are more commonly called. It has proved an admirable mtthod of tra'oing boys' judgments, and in all cases where partiality is charged against a teacher it has proved a spe ci f ic. for when a boy is also condemned by his comrades all such charges fall to the ground. Some very droll scenes haveoccitred at these trials, and there have been some very 'curious developments or character. One mo ning our janiiress reported that one of the boys had been crying in the playroom on he previous afernoon because some the other scholars had forcibly prevented him from going home, she did not know the boy's name, but pointed him out to me. On neing asked he said that his mother had told hiia to be at home by a certain time, and some of the boys had prevp'ited him. As it was contra ionos mores for me to ask or for him to tell who they were, I waited till all were "in line," and, after prayers ask ed those who had done this to hold up th-ir hands. Six of them preraptly did so. When asked why. they replied that it was their turn to have their "innings" at the game they were play- ng. and that it was not fair for him to eo. I decided that thi3 was not a sufficient reason for their preventing him from obeying his mother's com mands, and condemned them all to one week's exclusion from the playroem. As this was a fin large room twentv- five fet wide, eighty feet long and thirteen feet high, large enough for a good game of football between two Strong "fildea" vt for a tjuiet-aajg xst "old cat," the penalty seemed rather severe, and they appealed. When the time for trial came tho three judges sat on settee, and the culprits opposite. I was called away for a moment, and on returning, as I was near the judges. a hose backs were to me, I heard one of them, a chunky, spunky little fellow, and one of the best boys in the school, say to his neighbor, "1 say. Hill', do you think we can lick' those fellows if we decide against them?" "Never mind, Oard," said I. "I'll back you." He laughed, and the trial went on They did convict them, and imposed the same penalty or dose that I had. I ought pel haps to explain that 1 have tried to get out of the habit of using such terms as "punishment" or "penalty," and to substitute for them the word.! "dose" or "medicine." A bay who is "punished'' naturally ex cites the sympathy of his fellows and is apt to be looked upon by thera as a martyr who is suffering from the same tyranny to which thev are all subject, but a "sick boy" is rather an object of contempt, and tle more rugged and robust the boy the greater is usually his contempt for all sickness. The effect upon the culprit himself also seems better, and as I usually consult my patients as to what is the brst medicine for them, this, too, may be made a means of self-government. In these trials on some occasions a small boy has chosen a big boy as his "counsel," and the sifting of evidence and coss-examination of witnesses has been done at time with consider able skill by embryo lawyers. One of the first lessons that seems to be required is that negative proof is no proof at all. A boy recently said, when three had testified ti nt thev had seen him do something, "Well, sir, I can bring plenty more that didn't see me." He appeared quite surprised when I informed him that I could bring ten thousand, that had not seen him do it. As some were still dissatisfied after the judges had decided, a second ap peal was allowed ; which, how ver was to be attended to on Friday (our day for odds and ends), and in caso of a reversal a third; but this has happened only about once In ten years. some years ago a son of mine be came big enough to go to my school. He had been there but a short time when he questioned the justice of one of my decisions. I explained to him very carefully how just it was, but did not succeed in convincing him, and was decidedly startled at hearing him say, "Papa, can I appeal?" I did not think he knew anything about that part of our machinery or could appre ciate it. Of course I could not shirk the issue, so I told him to "pick out his man," and I picked out mine. Those two chose a third, and father and son thus stwod on a footing of per fect equality before this improvised tribunal. They decided in my favor on that occasion, but Phil, has since then been sometimes more successful. Some of these decisions have seemed to me so strange that I have afterward inquired how the judges conld possibly come to any such conclusion, and have in this way ascertained that thev naa sources ol information tnat were inaccessible to teachers, and which changed entirely the nature of tlu case. Sometimes a boy has concluded to be the champion of his fellows, and has sacrificed his conscience to win their favor by always deciding against the teachers, but a little quiet obser Vatiou authorizes one to decline having him tor judge, and ho may be entirely debarred from holding that honorable position. It is a very desirable thing to have a boy exposed to these various terupta lions uiitib lie is young, and in such a restricted sphere, where detectien and its coi sequent medicine will, if he should yield to temptation, surely cure him, so its to prevent his attempting any such thing in the larger school outside. There is another part of our machin ery for self-government that has work- eu very wen. it 13 what we call our Standing Committee. All w o teach are obliged to meet the question. "W hat is to be done in cases of 'hazing'?" After considerable observation and thought, it seemed best to intrust the cure of Lli 13 to the boys themselves. They were request ed to vote for three of their nil in ber who should t ke care of all such cases. If a boy compiaius to a teacher he i3 called a tell-tale, and is disgraced. Per haps he is thrashed or sent to Coven try. If he complains to another boy n osuch disasi rous consequences follow. I he boys thus chosen are usually among the oldest and strongest in the school, and therefore able to bring to reason any refractory subject. Sometimes nothing is known bv the teacher about these cases until he is requested by the Committee to direct that a certain pupil shall be detained after school for a certain time, or ex eluded from the plav-room. or tnedi- cined in some other way. If at any time a boy does not care to submit to the decision of the committee he al ways has his right of appeal, which of course makes the whole affair public. If, also, any boy should object to our entire plan of self government he can at any time dispense with it and be come an ordinary schoelbov and be treated as such. This, however, al most nevei' happens. Sometimes symptoms of bullying are perceived by the teacher, and the attention of the standing committee called to them. An investigation then takes place altogel her apart from the teacher, and the affair is usually soon disposed of. mong the grave cases investigated by this committee was one of theft. The library committee found that their money box had been visited, and some of its contents abstracted. This money was paid by those who chose te use the library, consisting of some five hundred volumes, at the rate of five cents per week. It was painful to think that anv of our bovs should Stoop to stealing; but it was necessary to h:.d him out if we could The com mittee reported that suspicion rested on my errand boy, and requested per mission to watch; and alaj to bore twa gimlet, holes through a ceatain door. This was granted, and the nec essary keys were given to them. The watchers detected the culprit, and he was quietly dismissed, with a friendly warning. We all of course, felt much relieved on finding that none of our scholars were involved in such an af fair. , Very recently the efficiency of our Standing Committee was quite well ill ustrated. We had moved into a large corner building, the other stories of which were occupied for other pur poses. A cwlored man employed by one of the other occupants complained of some obscene writing and figures on the wall and stairway. The stand ing Committee were requested to in vestigate; and after some time, re ported ;hat it wa done by an out sider whose name had been told to them on their promising nor to tell It to any of the teachers. In the course of conversation on thi subject one of "h- SVninc7 tVmjmir.rj fnirrlwrr'tV-nfv ly let slip the name cf the culprit. Turning immediately tome he said: "Mr. M . it wouldn't be fair to take" advantage of that!" "Certainly not" I replied. It so happenei that the next day, nrhilA mnvarsinar with the mother of three of my pupils, she1 spoke of a boy who was their cousin. aul with whom they were thus obliged to Lave a ccr t:iin amount of intercoltrse. but vitt,i was a spoiled child, anL. therefore undesirable acq ualuta!?cVVWitf'e , edge, also I did not think it best to take advantage of, but sent a message through the boy who confessed that he knew him which induced the boy himself to come and see me. He ex pressed very great regret for what ho had done, paid the colored man for his , trouble in erasing the offensive mat-t-r, promise 1 never to do any such thing again, and seemed generally improvtd by the affair. J While this article was hi prepara tion another illustration of tho ai.tioa of the Standing Committee was given. The Library Committee had been recovering some of tlieir books and had left some of these on a .able in the gymnasium or playroom. Some mischeivou3 boy had picked up I tho library stamp and stamped lill dver the nice new paper cover, of one of these volumes. When the 0110 who .., did this was called upon to hold up his hand he did not do so. When thoto who knew anything about - it were asked for, one small boy held up his hand. The committee were requested lo confer with hioi at the proper time. They reported soon after that the culprit was the youngest boy in tho school, and a very tine Ip. HdLi1 I asked what medicine ti.-y propose! te give. They proposed to leave that to me. ' "Very well," said I, "I suppose two or three days' exclusion from the play room will ba sufficient." The largest and oldest member im mediately said : "He's a little fellow, sir, and wouldn't one day be enough? 1 agreed, and the aff .ir wa9 settled. I recollect now that there was 0110 thing forgotten in this cine which is usually attended to, and that is to have the damages properly assessed and paid for by the destroyer. This may amount to a few cents only, but those few cents to a small boy are some times an important matter, involving, it may be, an application te the pater nal pocket, which implies stating the cause at home, with perhaps more or less disagreeable consequences. This last case occurred on a Thurs day. Tho next morning, at the week ly report of character, our little friend was so highly spoken of that 1 asked him if, in case I did away with his day's exclusion, there was any danger of his repealing the offence? lie thought not. His good, titrong, lungs were, therefore, heard again at the usual time in the playroom, and - i patient was thus cured without n cine. Cor. N. Y. Evening Post. , ih'J Three Groves Notes.

Thereupon two hours of tillibusteririg ensued, under the leader ship of Howe on one side and McShane on the other.

Finally, to prevent the amendment from going to a vote, Howe moved that it be recommitted, and this ws carried by the usual ma jority.
