Arriving there, Emerson went bis way to the Entaw House, while Knox hunted up detective Wylie to assist in ferreting out the matter. They soon located the couple, and proceeding to the Extay House, by the ex: ere: cof a little strategy, they gained access to the room occupied by Bwerson, and there found hi and Mrs. Knox together in bed. The much injured hasdand, contrary to expectation, was perfectly cullécted, and did not, as is usaal in such cases, draw a pistol to shoot. Like a sensible man, he came to the con- clusion that it was not worth while for him to imbue his hands in the blood of a human being because his wife chose to play the prostitute. He simp!y said to Emerson, “You are a pretty ~— of a; take her along,” and left. Emerson, who was on bis way to New York, continued his journey, and Annie (K.) retur: bere.

This done, the great increase of letters would warrantafurther reduction. The government is, in a sense, tax- ing the literate or reading and writing popula- tion of the entire country tot postal facili- lies to those who are illiterate or cannot read and write. Indeed. the tax falls doubly on the New England and Middle States, comparing by sections. There is inthe New England States ex@ess over the average per capita cost of 26.1 cents pew capita, in the Middle States a per capita excess of 19 cents, and in the North ern States a per capita excess of 9.4 cents, while the Coast Planting Stat < fall 596 cents betow the average per capita cost, and the Central Slave States fall 35.9 cents below the average Tr capita cost, and Texas falls 50.9 cents below. {t further appears that no State reimburses the general government for its postal services whose ult population contains more than tight per cent. of Miterate persons, while there is but cae State with less than eight per eent. of illiterate adults that does not pay revenue to the Post Office Department, and that one being deficient bata small amount.” ‘The accompanying tables show that in 1560, seventy ont of every hundred ehildren in the free States were attending schools, while in the slave States but thirty-three out of every hun- dred were at school. PERCENTAGE OF ILLITERACY.

Vischon, of Berlin, Prussia, who says: In the following, a careful distinction will be made between evils actually established b: facts, and such as have Kees Aye estimated. — the former, rank first ene 1. Bye diseases, especially rt sighed = The tirst reliable facts, based on thé most thorough — inv tions, as to the in- fluence of schools on’ the eyesight, were published in i866 by Dr. Herman Cohn, ot Breslau, Prussia. He examined five vill schools in Langenbielan, (a village of Silesia,) and the following schools in the city of Breslau: Twenty elementary schools, two higher girls’ schools, two intermediate schools, two real schools, (non-classical colleges, ) and two gymnasia, (classical colleges.) Ct the 10,060 scholars in these institutions, 17.1 per cent. were not in the full normal possession of their eyesight. The statistics given show that near-sightedness steadily increases from the lower grade of schools to the _— ones. Not only does the number of short-sighted cases in- crease from one class to the other, and from one grade of school to the other, but also the degree of short-sightedness. Among th® chief causes of near-sightedness Dr. Cohn considers the construction of the desks and chairs, and the manner in which school-rooms are gene- rally lighted. Scholars but too easily accus- tom themselves to bend forward too ciosely over their books. This involves greater activitv of the muscles ef the eye, producing an imerease of hydrostatic pressure in the buck part of the eye-ball, and a pro- longation of the axis of the eye. which by ong continuance becomes a pe: nauent con- ‘tion. On the other hand, the bending for. ward occasions a rush of blood to the eye- i, also increasing the pressure in the back part of the eye. These two causes combined, Dr. Cohn says, produce near-sightedness. 2. Congration of the cerebral circulation.—Three evils resulting from congestion of blood in the sed bave recently been made the subject of researches by Drs. Guillaume and ‘Th. Becker, viz: headache, bleeding of the nose, and goitre. @. Headache —Guillaume found, among seven hundred and thirty-one scholars of the College Muriopal im Neufchatel, two hundred and nine(y-six, more than 40 per cent., who fre- quently suffered from headache. Girls seemed tobe more subject to it than bo} for among the former there were 51 per cent., dnd among latter 28 per cent. The younger scholars suffered more from it than ‘the older ones. Becker examined 3,564 scholazs of all the pub- lie schools at Darmstadt and Besungen, and of three private schools at Darmstadt. ‘Uf this number 974, or 27.3 per cent., suffered more or less of headache. It appeared that in the com- mon Fad schools the number of children af- iicted with headache was particularly large in the lower boys’ classes, while in schools of a higher grade the number was larger in the mot advanced classes. In the highest class of the g;Mpasium 0.5 per cent. were sutterers trom headache. Besides too close schocl-rooms, ty which Becker, in addition to too severe mental exertion, ascribes the frequent occurrence of headaches, Deville and Troost, in the session of the French Academy of Sciences, on January 13, 1868, mentioned as another cause the fact that different species of gas, particularly car- bonie a once netrate shece thane which ~ tay frequently occurs where there aty iron the, ‘The noxious influence of this pe stoves. ‘“dache and iddingss is wellknown.

A NEw SwinpLe.—About the first of August complaint was lodged at the police headqaar- ters by Mre. Ellen Fletcher, a respectable col- ored lady that she had been swindled out of ten dollars by means of a forged message purport- ing to have been written by her husband. Soon afterward it was ascertained that others had been swindled by the eameoperation. The case was assigned to detective Tillman to work up, and the result was that yesterday he arrcsted and brought to headquarters a young man nam- ed Alfred Rolph about nineter n years of age, as the principal, and Henry Smallwood and Frank Foreman, two colored men, as his assistants. The game practiced was, it is alleged, to write notes, of which the followin, copy, and send them by inrocent boys for delivery and wait for a return of the messages: “ Dear wife: Please send me ten (#10) dollars immediately. If you have not got it, send me what you bave, without delay. Pat itin an en- velope rud direct it to me. “Yours, &e..
