•—7—* Watch the Nurses. The following timely editorial ap peared in the Savannah News of Mon day last. We have seen something of this kind in Valdosta. Mothers, read it: “Some sort of society to prevent cruelty to children seems to be needed in this city. The; Morning News has from time to time recorded instances of brutal treatment of children by col ored hoys and men, such as the strik ing of a child with a rock ar.d the throwing of a carriage and baby in front of a team. Occurrences like these are rare, of course, and the per petrators of such acts are pretty cer tain to be punished, but the abuses which young children suffer at the hands ol their colored nurses are not rare, and the most of them are not noticed nor corrected. People pass ing through the public squares, where the children are sent to get fresh air, have frequently seen colored nurses slap children mercilessly and other wise abuse them. It is an every day occurrence. There are some kindly disposed, responsible colored nurses in the city, but there are a great many more who have no just conception of their duties, andjwho, by maltreatment make the children afraid of them, as the surest means of having an easy time. They speak roughly to them, and in a fit of passion strike them. They leave them to take care of themselves, and between ill treat ment and neglect, children often re ceive injuries Irom which they do not recover for a long time. It would be better for them to be unprovided with nurses, and to get into the open air only when they could be taken out by some member of the family, than for them to have such nurses. Negro girls are frequently hired out as nurses by their relatives, who take their wages, and in such instances they are very indifferent to their duties, and JJare cruel to the children placed their charge, because they are dissatisfied. The mothers of these children are partly to blame for this state of affairs They are too anxious to escape the care of their little ones, and when they employ a nurse they feel that their responsibility has been in a great measure placed upon other shoulders They allow their children to remain too loDg out of their Sight, and are not diligent in finding out what kind of treatment the nurses give them. The abuses alluded to need correc rection, and parents should do much to conect them."—Valdosta Times Figures That Stagger. From the New York World. At the close of tho fiscal year there were on the pension list 489,729 names. This is 2,000 more than the standing army of Germany. It is nearly a quarter of a century since the close of the war, and yet there were added to the list of pensioners during last year 53,675 names, against only 16,000 dropped—a net gain of 37,000. There are still pend' ing. 479,000 original claims, besides the requests for rcrating. Tho amount paid for pensions dur ing the year was 888,275,112, and the heavy disbursements in July and August indicated an expenditure for the present year of fully 8100,000,- 090. This exceeds by nearly one- half the entire cost of the government before the war. It overtops the cost Of the standing army of Great Britain and nearly equals that of France, The payments on pension account since 1861 are 81,052,218,413—al most os much os the present amount of the public debt. The increase of pensions has outrun, in recent years, the diminution of the interest charge. It is not strange that Secretary No blc called a halt. Daniel Webster, in one of his speeches, sgid there were three things he wished to impress on the mind; of pupils. First, you cannot learn with' out your own efforts. All the teachers in the world can never make a scholar of you if you do not apply yourself with all your might. In the second place, be of good character and good behavior, a boy of strict truth, honor and con- cience in all things. Have but one rule, and let that be always to act right and fear no'thing but wrong doing. _ Woman is an enigma.
