THE BLACKSHEAH TIMES t VOL. VI. It is understood that the Maine, the big 6000-ton armored cruiser, and the first iron warship ever built at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, will be launched on July 4. It has been decided by Judge Thayer, of the United States district court at St. Louis, that it is unlawful to dun a man through the mails by means of a postal card. The first thing Explorer Stanley did when he reached the coast of Africa was to ask for files of newspapers for the past three years.. The world's history for that period was a blank to him, and he ivill have to do some hard reading in order tc understand the situation. One method of preventing fires seems to have been overlooked in the.discussion which has followed the disasters in Lynn, Boston and Minneapolis. It is the French regulation which makes a tenant ,oi house-owner financially responsible lot damage by fires that spread beyond hi? premises. It is estimated that our American tour ists in 1889 spent ninety million dollars in Europe, and it is almost, certain that scarcely a bagatelle of all this will ever float back to our shores. This is an enor mous amount of money. It is double the amount Uncle Sain hits on deposit in all the National banks of the country. It is nearly the sum which Secretary Noble estimates for the entire pension list in 1890. It is far more than it takes to run two or three department of the Govern ment for a year. It is about time, the New York Telegram believes we had a fair on this side of the water and pre vented all this floiv of good cash to Europe. _ Dr. Alfredo d i Luy, of Rio Janeiro, believes that the climate of Brazil is de generating to Europeans, especially to persons from the north. lie has uoticcd that Brazilians iu general arc. more pal lid, and are less vigorous and ‘energetic, than persons coming from temperate and cold climates. The degeneration of the Portuguese race may also be noted iu Rio de Janeiro. An amende condition, caused by malarious influences, is com mon among them, and, while it does not kill by itself,weakens the hold on life and greatly increases the infant mortality. The children of Portuguese and Italians Jo not seem to fare so badly as the chil dren of parents coming from more north ern countries. _ Even in conservative England tlie times are indeed changed. The cane has always been considered, as necessary a part, of the schoolmaster's ’possession’s as the spelling hook and corporal punish ment prevails there to an extent that would not be tolerated here. A school master was recently sued by the father of a pupil whom he had unmercifully beaten by caning him on the hand, and the magistrate gave judgment against the pedagogue on the ground that caning on the hand was attended by a risk of in jury, and there were “methods of cor poral punishment quite as available, efficacious and not necessarily attended by auy risk, which the defendant might have used.” There is a vast deal of patriotism among the women of the Country. The Ladies’ Hermitage Association, with headquarters at Nashvilie, Teun., lias undertaken to raise a fund for the pre servation of Andrew Jackson’s grave and homestead. The intention is to make the Hermitage, like Mount Vernon, a Mecca for patriots. Mrs. Nathaniel Baxter is the President of the Associa tioa. The Mary Washington Monument Association, of Fredericksburg, Va., is also in the hands of earnest and lcyal women, who wish to see the grave of the first President's mother marked by an appropriate monument. Mrs. Janies Power Smith, of Fredericksburg, Va., is the President. The post schools of the army may re ceive some attention from Congress dur ing the current session. It is not likely that any attempt will be made to carry out General Lew Wallace's idea of con verting every military station into an academy; but, according to the New York Time*, this view is gaining adherents that a somewhat better use could be made of a part of the time of the enlisted men than employing it in endless repetitions of rudimentary drills. The recruit must of course be made first of all a good soldier, and have such daily training as will keep him a good soldier; but it is not neces sary to look at West Point to see about what proportion of the day is really re quired fer that and hew much is left for mental improvement.
