The expediency of whipping girls is an odd subject for the Times to discuss in its columns, says the London Truth. The great advocate for whipping chil- dren was Solomon, and to judge by Re- hoboam it proved a dismal failure, I am opposed to giving scoolmasters the right to inflict corporal punishment, because many of them are totally un- fitted to be entrusted with such powers, The punishment would everywhe differ for the same offense, for whils one schoolmaster would whip hard an- other would whip soft. Moreover, one might be a man with a good temper and another with a bad temper and one might flog where another would chide. The whole thing is brutalizing and probably does more harm than good to the recipient. I was ata private school. The mas- ter wus an unmitigated ruffian, If we did anything wrong during school hours we were told by an usher to stand on o form. The master suffered from lum- bago.

Then I went to Kton. Dr. Hawtry was the head master. He was an ama- ble and kindly man and a fine gentle- man. He probably flogged about twenty boys every day on an average. He did it with exquisite politeness, and except on rare occasions the whole thing was a farce. Four cuts were the ordinary ap- plication, and ten cuts were never ex- ceeded, The proc2edings took place in public, and any boy who had a taste for the thing might be a spectator, If the victim flinched, there was a howl of ex- ecration. Far from objecting to this, the doctor approved of it. I remember once that a boy fell on his knees and implored him to spare him. *'lshall not condescend to flog you, but I leave you to your young friends,” smd the doctor. ~ I happened to be one of the young friends, and I remember aiding in kicking the boy round the quad- rangle for about half an hour, e —— Three High-Bred Stallhions for Service ED ROSEWATER, Two-year-old lowering the world’s record—2:204, at Council Bluffs, Ta.—by Vasco, son of Herald, sire of Maud S, 2:08%, BLACK WILKES, son of Ceor{: Wilkes, with 65 in the 2:50 list and better, WINSLOW WILKES, son of Black Wilkes, dam Almont, with 85in the 230 list and _better, will make the season at Spring Valley Stock Farm, Omaha, Neb, Write for circutars and terms, N.

Philadelphia Record: Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, thinks that the mem’ bers of th Massachusetts legislature whoare opposed to prohibition and voted to submit a prohibitory amendment to a vote of the people, are guilty of a viola- tion of their oaths, He says: “The two-thirds vote, the delay for two suceessive years, the publication, the yeus and nays, all of which must precede the right of the general court, to submit this proposition to the people, indicate a constitutional purpose which every member is bound by his oath 1o respect and obey, and of which a sub- mission to the people without regard to the member's own iuugmnut is u clear and gross violation.” The provisions of the constitution of Massachusetts with reference to amend- ments are similar to the provisions of the Pennsylvania constitution: and the predicament of the republican legisla- tors who are against prohibition in Massachusetts is precisely the predica- ment of the republican opponets of pro- hibition in our legislature. They have perjured themselves in order to secure o political advantage and in order w es- cape o legislative duty. - Bad habits ‘are - like. - warts-—-they grow on'us, A souvenlr goes with this, Lof Ohio LOCAL WORLD OF SPORT.

The spring weather also put new life into the Omala wamo cocks and their owners, and three mains on a small scale were held during the week. On Thursduy a_red *black-breast met an Ivish- Grey at four and a half pounds, and Ircland came out on top: A da 1, cowned in Florence, also met with misfortune in the shape of a Silver-Grey, which brought the sheckels to ' Owaba.

Speaking of the proposed fight bet ween Kilrain and Sullivan, a local pugilist said yesterd s the fight is concerned he thought it would be for blood, but that the posting of any money by the backers of Cither man would simply be a fake.
