The require ments are of three kinds; she may own real estate in the district; she may have personal property upon the assessment roll ; oi she may hav e babies more than five years old. If she complies with either of these conditions, she may exer cise the yeoman s privilege. The prop erty requirement may be defended pos sibly on the ground that if she pays taxes she has interest ia the disposal of school money ; but w lien tlyj privi lege of voting is dependent upon her babies, we submit that it is rather hard to require her to commence five or six years back. Two good yearling babips are worth as much as one rive year old anytime. And we believe that this should be like the naturalization law, which does not require an applicant to be fully naturalized, but lets him vote when he has declared his intentions. Falls City News.

The deed was done by means of a glass globe containing nitro-glycer-ine, which was thrown into his car riage while returning from an imper ial parade, two being thrown before the desired object was accomplished. He is succeeded by his son Alexander III. One of the paities who threw a bomb has been arrested, the other escaped.

We have just introduced and thoroughly tested many improvements in our course of studies and manner of imparting instruction and now of fer a thorough course in both theory and practice. Our course of "Business Practice" baa ali of the advantages of the East man and other methods without any of their unavoidable attendants of noise, idleness, fiction or expensive ness. This course recognizes the necessity of pupils having well established prin ciples for -practice, . wiiich it is tho siecial purpose of our theoretical pourse to thoroughly teacU ; when tike coursa of Business practice quickly enables any jijdustrious pupil to com prehend the details and connections of business and the true relations cf the accountants thereto and give an un precedented practical readinesa in making and using any of the business papers used by the most expert ac countants. This course is not the fiction of mere theories nor is it intenUed t supply the place of thorough practical instruc tors by the display oi pretended offices banks, bazaars, &c, to make idlers and dummies believe that they can acquire efficiency without study or teaching. But it is the result wf long study and many efforts of the most thorough teachers, practical business men and experienced accountants, who were well acquainted with the former methods.- Assured that the practical utility of this course will be appreci ated and that it will son supercede all ethers, we will teach it fiec of charge to all who enter for the theoret ical course within a reasonable time. Very truly Bhtant & Ritnek. The Auulterat ou of food. Strict State's-rights advocates may demur to the measure of having a commission of tbree' experts to inquire into the adulieration of food iu the United States. Of pourse it is both proper and incumbent upon t.be Legis latures of the several States to pVutect their citizens from the cheating and the danger of adulteratious. But if we can rely ou the startling statements of analytical chemUU ty the House Committee on Epidemic Diseased, it may be that it would be x i&e to have a general act of Congress so siriygwn; as to bring uniform relief ad protec tion. A Chicago chemist examined fourteen samples of sugar, some white, some colored, so tie granulated; in twelve he found tin in the form of a chUiide, ha votive poison. He found that several syru'w wera made essen tially of glucose, with iu., i-ium, iron and magnesia, and in quantities that made them very poisonous. Sugar is largejy adulterated with glu cose. Othei- articles found. to be adul terated were bating powders- confec tionery, mustard, viuegar, tea and cof fee.

This paper is published by the students and each t the two Literary Societies elect an Editor-in-chflf and fuse on the rest of the officers. The Palladian Society elected their Editor without any trouble but uot so wilh the Union So ciety, the two faction- are so nearly equal, that after two or three meet ings in which no selection was made, the affair was referred o the Faculty by one Faction, much to the disgust and opposition of the other. Tho Fac ulty after investigating the affair de cided in favor of the partv that had referred the matter to them and gave their decision in chapl, but imagine their (the faculty's) surprise on seeing the paper appear the next day with the name of the one whom they had decided against as editcr-in-chief from the Uuion Society.. Such a bold ac tion on the part of the students could not be overlooked and thev held that the Board of Managers were responsi ble for the printing of the paper and unless thev could prove that they were not instrumental in its appear ance, they would be suspended, and as they could no! or rather would not do this, the,-, seven in mnaber, were compelled io leave the University for the remainder of this term. They will be allowed to re-enter next term and take their accustomed places. D. II. Whkei.kk. Jr. The MeXurliu School House Entente. In the casts tried before Judge .Sulli van, in which R. Countryman and R. McNurlin were plaintiffs and prose cuting w itnesses, and. certain young men, scholars in that school district, were defendants, it seems from the statements made that the directors were not satisfied with the course of the teacher, a Mr. Gregory, while the older scholars were, because lis the di- ilCllUo tiiCillll itC li b I'..,: ig ImAS j run the schojl. One word brought ou t ano'her as is usual in such cases, un til one tine morning Mr. Counirymaii add Mr. McNurlin went ver to the school house to discharge the teacher, and two of the Rhoden boys, with some aid fix-m otl.i i.s, pitched in 'and about cleaned the directors out, hence the suit. Before this, however, it seems eight of the boys sent a letter to the direc tors teliing them to keep away from the school if they wanted to be healthy, which offence, viz: writing threaten ing lectern, was one more count in the indictment, which was for assault and battery, obstructing school board in the performance of their duty and writing threatening letters. The case was really compromised, the defendants pleading guilty, and the case to be settled on the first two charges. Judge Sullivan gave the boys a very handsome little mora! lecture on the fact that they were not quite old enough yet to be the best jud;;:-8 of how a school should be taught, and that it was dangerous to obstruct the law, and then fined them as follows: Don and Richard Rboden 920 and costs. (they two making the assault) and J. W. Rhoden, Wm. Kriss, C. G. Fleming, J. K. McConaha and J. Q. Adams $10 and costs. The eighth boy, a Lathrop, skipped out.

Now, Editor, when I wrote the arti cle I did'ut intend to- any criti cism on the editor or his paper, only what 1 wrote I still adhere to. Your article of Feb. 17th from the Omaha Republican, you claim was the sentiments of both sides. I claim, and very person I have spoken to on the subject claims, that it represents the railroad sh e only. It gives Mr. Tou zalin's sde of the question only. Iu Vour answer,of March 3d ywti claim you did not publish the railroad side only ; you claim you did not omit what -Mr. Hose water said; "you also claim Mr. Rose water did not publish both sides of the question. We farmers claim he did. If you look in the Oma ha Bee of Feb. 10th, you will see both sides published. Now you claim the editor ef the Hf.t:ali was snowed in at Lincoln, and did not " return, until the next week, which prevented your giving the principal points on lioth sides. Vow, editor, if that was the casebow was it you gave Mr. Touza liu'sside? It is strange if the mails were delayed how Mr. Touzalin's re marks were on time. Now yon claim myself or lrieuds, if I have any, (come out Mac. and see) had better lead straight before we criticise. As I told you, I didn't intend to cast any reflec tion? on the editor, only stating facts. In return you publish an insulting an swer.

The last remark contains some truth; send in your little bill, Mac, and it will be settled if I have to borrow the money. Now, you claim my letter represents my sentiments, and those of some one else; the letter was my own, it it had been anybody e!s's it might have been fit for publication. Since your .answer a good many farm ers have said the letter was right. Yon say my letter was like the boy's story the politician told alxnitlast fall it isii t true. 1 claim it is. ami can prove it by taking your own paper and the Bee.

The latter leaving the former with the team went into house and ou going iu at the door picked up a gun which happened to be clone by and without noticing what he was doing or thinking what the re sult might be raised tho weapon to his shoulder and flre'd. His comrade who was holding the team a distance of 23 ejsoff received The charge in the head and faco and it came near prov ing fatal.

At Artutaki. When the tide is out. ehinis ae picked up everywhere on the ; reef. At Mauka men dive for them - on the ocean side of the narrow fringing; reef when the sea is smooth. On reaching ,the bottom the diver stabs the gaping clam, which-for tho nidlhisk i very tenacious of life at once tirtnlj- gr.np the weapon. The diver now tugs with both hand-s until the clam is dislodged. A couole of expert natives with a canoe will get as many .-n a hundred in a day when a least n in preparation, m Manibiki aiul Htkaanga the largest clams are about two spans in length, the animal it-elf U'iiig sutlioiontly l uge to satisfy the hunger of threv persons. Clam diving is wo:i.:i'i's work in those atolls. Yet it is surprising how fw ac cidents occur. Thtf r. aon for this may be thej- dive in comparatively shallow water. ; Not lonrr since a native was feeling about the b-'itom of the. lagoon of one of tho Pauniolu a'ohs f.r tins dark edged pearl oyster, when he unfortun ately inserted "the ligers of his left baud ltetween the valves of a clam. Tho diver was instantly made prisoner by the molhisk. His agny was iutenio. Wai it possible to get free. As the c!airwad in a hollow just adapted to its size, he could not sever the byssua. At length, in sheer terror of drowning, he cut"off his four lingers with the knife pearl-divers carry with them, and rose to the surface a sadder if not a wiser man. A similar accident took place at Peuryns; but the diver, instead of maim ing himself for life, forced a knife beTween the valves and released him self. Should the clam be attached to a smooth bit of coral, the speediest mode of rescue is to sever the bundle, of silky lilament by which it moors itself. On a neighboring is'and, ere this could be doiuCthe forefinger of the right hand of a clam-diver was lopped off. Brought ashore in baskets, they live for some time. Children in their play are apt to put thcis- lingers between the open valves, and "so get caught. Their screams so m bring their parent to tho rescue, which i e lied ci by stabbing the clam thron ;'i the cavity for the bvssus. Tim supply of tlmus in the Pacific is itipxhai'-iiole. If a party of divers sin uhl '-iii..ve ail the large ones from any particular loea'ity for a grand fer-st. is rid should rein- n net year to the fiv.ne sp.t. n difference would be per ceive!, so rapid U the growth of the clam m t .es.; warm waters. Pearls of a peculiarly brilliant hue are occasional ly found in the clam. QreeDbose and Window Plants. Insects, when found on the plants, should be destroyed at once bjr using tobacco water, soapsuds, etc. PlanU, if neglected, may be ruined in a short time. Success in the light with insects depends largely upon one's promptness and perseverance. Climbers, like English ivy, tropajo luiu, German ivy, etc., add very much to the beauty of a greenhouse or win dow. Hanging baskets should be placod where they can have an abundance of light aud" sunshine, and not near the stove or i-egister. If tho light come from one side, the basket ought to be turned every day. Watering: The successful culture of house plants depends largely upon the care in watering. The pots should have some pieces of brokcu iHts or oj'ster shell put in the bottom to provide pro per drainage; with good drainage there is but little risk from over-watering. A thorough wetting when water is need ed, is far better than keeping the sur face moist, by frequent "sprinkling." Hanging baskets-may be dipped into a tub of water. A gradual change: We should have much fewer complaints of failure with house plants if they were less subjected to sudden changes", both when they are brought in from their summer out-of- doors, and while in the house in winter. When the air of the room, is changed it should be done without allowing a cold current to fall upon the plants. Invention IV Oaliaing the Stormy Sea. A recent cab e from lon ion, says? The inventive gniu of a Scotchman, has, if we are to be'i'-ve the Scotch pa pers of to-day, found a way to accom plish something which man has never before dreamed of name! v, calming the stormy sea. Mr. Shield's, of Perth, has invented a way of stilling tho waves of the ocean, and put it into successful operation. He sinks bottles filled with oil; the bottles are opened by a process devised by the inventor, and the oil, ascending lo the surface, stills the waves, thus reducing the proverb about "pouring oil upon the troubled waters" to practice. The invention his betn. lestoil at Pcl.erb.ead, it is said, wilh amazing success. The Scotch pa pers are full of it. The invention may not be practicable upon the seas, where a vast quantity of oil would manifestly be required to still a dangerous storm, but if tho claims of Shields, th! inven tor, are genuine, it could be made very useful in calming open roadsteads or illy-sheltered harbors. Open fox Business ifall Street New. A gentleman of high social and bust ness standing in tho citj was making a trip on one of the found steamers last fad. when ! whs npp'-oi'-lied by a quietly -dressed and soft-spoken y.ung man, who made a few general remarks and then asked: "Are you open for business to-night?" "Yes; I'm always ready for business." was the reply. "Thought so. Your clothes are all right, and yon talk political economy like an orator, but your face gives you dead awav. I spotted -4011 as soou as we left New York." The gentleman was dumbfounded, ami while in this condition, the other queried: 'Shall it be an even whack-up?" -I 1 " 'I think we are certain to strike eijr gar in this crowd." "My friend, I fear I am ignorant of whiit you are driving at. What busi ness is it yon wish to talk over?" 'Come don't try anv of that on me. I'm wiliiusr to make a fair divide," Of whiit? There's my card, sir; and I should like to see yours." The stranger took the card, looked it over, gave tho merchant a close inspec tion, and then aiiswere.l: "Well, I'm beaten for the first tima i.i ten years! Are you going back on this line?" "Yes." "Ti: 11 you should have some one along who can swear to your identity, and you'd better hand your card to ev ery man who comes within six feet of your nose! Good evening I'm sleepy!" t was two or three daj-s before the gmtlviii 111 could make out vyhatjt a.ll rueant, and it is said tljat lie is now try jog to change his facial expression. David W. Vanderen, who for a week ly stipend dons Roman togas and stands guard atthega:es of Luculltis for the Salvini company, appeared, before a justice of the peace in Cincinnati, the other day, ami swore lo a warrant of wrest f"r one of the Grand opera house employes.
