In the House, on 17 ult, on the bill to increase the minimum of the school term, our representative, Mr. Woodward, delivered the following remarks which will be endorsed by a majority of his constituents : Mr. WOODWARD. Mr. Speaker, I had not intended to say a word upon this bill, but as the gentleman has refers red to my own county, I simply desire to endorse in the most emphatic mannerall that he has said. While in some few dis- tricts, possibly, this might work as sn improvement, in the great majority of the districts in my county the passage of a bill of this kind would operate as a bardship. The population which I have the honor to represent is largely agricul tural aud consists chiefly of farmoers— small farmers, who do a large portion of their work by the assistance =f their children. In the planting of their crops in the early spring and the harvesting of those crops in the late fall they are obliged to keep their children at home; they find it an absolute Hmpousibility to send them to school in the late weeks of the spring or the early weeks of the fall, and enjoy the privileges of the present five month term. I am certain that I represent a great majority of the people of my county, therefore, when I appeal to this House not to compel them to maintain a longer term or lose the ap propriation from the State, There is no district in the entire Stale, where a six or eight month term could not be maintained at the option of a ma- jority of the people in that district. It is only necessary that they elect a school board with that understanding. We have frequently passed bills here which recog- nized the different circomstances of the different portions of the Commonwealth, by baving in them a local option clause, Now, I am not here to advance the local option idea, bat since this feature of local option is already incorporated as an ele- ment in the very matter we are talking of-——since the central of this matter ai- ready exists in the board of directors, I appeal to the House to let it remain there, where it belongs. In reply to Mr. Colborn : Mr. WOODWARD. The imputation has been made by my friend on my ex- treme right, that those who oppose this bill oppose it from mercinary motives; at least that is what I understood him to say, that it was because thereby the rate of taxation would be increased. Now, I have to say that neither the gentleman who cast that imputation upon us nor any other gentleman in this House will go any further than I will go in any measure tending to increase the efficien- oy and importance of our public schools. If the gentleman who has charge of this bill will formulate a measare to levy the tax paid now by either individuals or the appropriation of the State, and arrange that increase ro that it will aid us in an increased efficiency of our common schools by paying higher salaries to teachers, and thereby secure better qoals ifications, leaving the question of ths length of terms where it 18 now, in the bands of the people, and I will go as far as he or any member dare go. Itis, |, fact, for the efficiency of the schools (hat I am pleading, and not against they It Is for the efficiency of teaching ~" he best methods of educating our your,g people, that I am speakiog and not # gainst such 8 system. I am fora measur'y—any meus- ure that will promote the welfare of the young people in our schools, but not a measure that is advocat od by the teach- log population of the, State, simply for addiug one more m¢,ath to their meagre salary. Whenever tre gentieman will formulate a bill that will secure the ad- vantages I mention, I will aid io its pas sage. Let him introdace a measure that will so apply our school tax that they will increase the efficiency of our school by securing teachers who are teachers, teachers who are qualified to teach as they should be, and I will go to the bil full length in its sopport. I am for the welifare of the schools, heart spd hand. I say, Mr. Speaker, that in voting against this bil: I vote because I beliace it to be a bill against the interests of our com- moa scho Jd, adding thereto an increased length of term, and adding ‘w the ineffi- ciency of the system. It irs as efficient now as it can be made withont an ine orease of taxation. Yoa way doable the taxation, as I said before, if yon will ap- pa it properly, and I wi'l support. you, t I must resent the im.patation that 1 oppose the bill because it would jucrease my taxation of the taxes of soy other man. Itis not generoas, and it is not right to make such a statement. HAPPY THOUGHTS IN THE NIGHT, For years Mr. Jas, R. Ackley, of 1 West Fayette street, Balumore, had op fered with neuralgia so that he coald hardly sleep.

So many twist the bair up in some becoming fashion the year round, and wonder that it gels streaked, thin in spots, and seems harsh and dry. The bair should be loosened every night before retiring, combed free from all tangles with a bone comb (rub- ber combs have done muoch to split and break the hair—nearly all have too much electricity to use rubber); then use a stiff brush for a long time, brushivg from the top to the very ends, It is well for the lady who has a maid, for it is impossible io properly brush one's hair if very long. Then braid and for the night. The scalp should be kept clean and healthy ; wash sccasionally, and have it thoroughly sbampooed two or three times a year as well. To wash, braid the hair loosely ia several braids, take raw egg and rud thoroughly into the scalp (if beaten firet it rubs in beiter), then rinse iz cold water with a little ammonia incorporated in it, wring the braids in a coarse towel, sit by a fire or in the sun until dry, then comb out the braids. The braiding pre- vents much snarling. Where one's hair is thin a quinine lotion will prevent its falling out and give life to the roots. The Parisian fashions for dressing children’s hair are as follows: Ringlets are most favored for babies, Little boys have curls in the back and bangs in front. Little girls have their hair waved and falling down the back, with a colored ribbon to keep it in place. Some young girls have revived the fashion of light heir nets, with large meshes, in which the hair falls loose and as low down 88 the middle of the back. This sfyle shows the hair to groat advan. tage, and will probably meet with general approval. From sixteen to seventeen years of age the hair ys worn high and twisted on the top of the head. With this method of arranging the hair round hats have no elastics, so as not to conceal sny part of the pretty waves which the hair forms when thus raised from the pape of the neck. The hat is fastened to the hair by a steel pin with a shell or jet head GREY, SHERMANS DILEMMA, Ry A correspondent to the Troy Press says: One incident, however, happened in San Francisso about five years ago, came near breaking the Gen. eral of the habit which has fastened its terrible grip upon him. The occasion was pretty Alice Harrison's farewel] benefit, aud, as luck would have it, Tecumseh and his staff were visiting the Pacific Coast Department So they hired a box and went to the show. No sooner did Miss Harrison appear than old war horse snuffed the battle from afar and began to grow restless. The members of the staff winked at each other and suggested the propriety of going behind thie scenes to compliment the beneficiary. This proposition suited the General exactly, so back they went. When they were fairly on the stage the old hero of Atlanta marched up to Miss Ilarrison with the remark that he hadn't kissed anything since breakfast, tluew his mm over her shoulder and beat to bestow a paternal salute on ler cheek. He had just reached the goa! of his desire and was feeling like a. just.addovitted angel slid- ing down a buttered rainbow when that impish young lady saw that the prompter was about to ring np the * drop.” Quickly placitg her hands over the General's ears 80 he couldn't hear the bell, she backed him aginst the cur. tain, As everybody knows, this is wound around a huge wood.m roller on the inside of the canvass Well the Gen eral’s coat-tails were caugh’, and be- fore; the prompter could reverse the mo sion the astounded man was su pended seven or eight feet from the stage like a sheet from a clothesline. The sight wea 80 ludicrous that the member 0." the General's staff who told me the story said the sudience went into hystericw, for they knew that those convulsivel¥ clutching legs and venerable gaiters be- longed to no one else than the comman~ derin-chief of all our semies. which Is I THE SPEED OF THE ARAB The popular notion about the speed of the Arab courser is, 1 think, errone- ous, ‘Great speed is not his strong point ; the chances are that on any or- dinary race course the best Arab in the work 1 would be beaten by a secondrate Eng lish race horse, These Arabs Were not, of course, first-rate specimens of the race, but they were certainly not bed ones.

FOSSILS FOR BALLASTING, Some years ngo a most interesting | * find” of fossils was made at the Port | land stone quarries. They were of high | scientific value, and it was decided to | send them to Yale College for preserva. | tion and study. They were accordingly | loaded upon a flat car at Middletown and sent on their way via Berlin-—a car<load of them. It was at that time that the fine stone bridge of the Consolidated Road was being built across the Farm. ington River at Windsor. After the arch of the bridge was sel, the space was filled in on top with quantities of broken trap rock from the company’s quarries in Meriden. This broken stone at just this time was being drawn to Windsor by the cars for this purpose. The conductor of one train discovered thie car-load of fossils side-tracked at Berlin, and felt sure at once that it was a lotof ballast for the Windsor bridge, which bad been ascidenially left behind. With commendable geal he fastened to i$ at once and drew it on to the bridge. There the rare fossils were dumped with the other stones, aud there to-day they lie im the solid flooring of the massive bridges Sm——— a WAI Rm It is suid that the grasshopper has proportionally 120 times the kicking power of aman.
