WHAT IS REsPEcTA BnIrY. 70 Judge from the
conduct and ideas Of some persons among both
sexes respectabiitY consists ID driving fast horses
wearing rich Iaces, drinking champ igne or idling
away life To cut q figure in society, on the pre-
Eaenade, or at a watering place appears to be the
sole ann of many women, who surely were born
for better things. To cultivate inoustache, sport
two forty" trotter, or act as model exhibitor
of coats for some fashionable tailor, seems to be
the conception of digniied and respectable ca
reer formed by not few of the men.
Now, being respectable, in either man or woman,
is, to our notion, doing what is dnty. The poor
est person, even in what is considered popularity
the humblest avocation, who pays his debts, obeys
the law, and fulfls his other obligations to society
and to his fellow creatures, is thousand times
more respectable than the wealthy idler the educa-
ted spendthrt the callous miser or the fashionable
fool So the modest female, whether seamstress
hook folder, presstender or storekeeper is, in the
true sense of the word, infinitely more respectable
than the extravagant wife who is running her hus-
band than the thoughtless votary of fashion. than
the butterfly firt. In a word, worth, not wealth,
constitutes responsibility.
Again. lis what really IS, not what merely
seems to be- respectable, that men of sense honor
as SUCH The millionaire, who has obtained
wealth by knavish practices, though he may creep
through the meshes of the law, cannot escape the
indignant verdict of an honest public; he may
give grand dinners, drive snowy equpage, inhabit
palace, and even subscribe ostentatiously to be-
nevolent purposes yet with all his outside gliding
people recognize the rottenness within, and from
the very summit of his splendor, trace back the
Shiny track by which he rose. Such man, let
him do what he will, can never become respectable.
A gull, as wide as that between Dives and Lazarus,
separates him from the esteem of the good. So
also the low-minded in all pursuits those cruel and
unfeeling towards their fellow-men, charlatans of
every hue hypocrites, demagogues, toadies, sharp
ers and all others of similar kind, cannot be re-
spectacle. Pinchbeck never yet passed long for
gold. Or, as the old proverb has it, "you cannot
make silk purse out of sow's ear"
As people are generally what habit renders them
it is for the young that these remarks are meant
The OLD cannot be cured. If they are shams now,
shams they will remain; nothing, alas can ever
make them respectable. But the young have yet
their habits to form. Let them take high stand
ard, and become truly respectable

Pure DRUGs. The poet recommended to
throw physic to the dogs" but recent reports o.
medical men in Congress, and the legislation there
upon prove that if drugs, imported, are unwor-
thy the bowels of humanity, they are not even
worthy the entrails of the canine species. Indeed
| certain worthy doctors who happened to intermit
their practice for awhile in order to indulge in leg
islation, demonstrated that were shamefully de-
frauded in our doses by the authorizations of for
eign chemists; and that when we were getting
we'll, as we imagined, from prescribed calomel, we
were sometimes recovering by the " bare magma
ton of a salutary pill. Yet all these compost
sions were not harmless. Deleterious elements
were often mixed with the drugs, that the power
of the original medicine was not simply diminish
ed, but altogether changed.
Accordingly, Congress passed law in 1913 to
"prevent the importation of adulterated and spuri-
Gus drugs and medicines" and directed the ap-
pointment of special examiners, who had the right
to deny admission to impure articles. But it seems
that doubts have arisen in the custom houses and
among the importers to what are drugs and
medicines" so that the province of verbal hair
splitting has transferred from the lawyers to the
merchants. In order to meet this difficulty, the
Secretary of the Treasury issued the circular which
we published some days since; and in future we
imagine there will be little doubt as to the opera
tive qualities of rhubarb, aloes, gamboge and
jalap.
There is another difficulty, however which we
fear that national legislation will not entirely meet
Ifthe drugs and medicines are imported and sold
at wholesale, in immaculate purity, what prevents
the vender from transferring his spurious laboratory
from Europe to America There is quite as much
ingenuity in this respect on our own shores as a
cross the water; and, as the drug has to be swal-
loowed by retail and not by Wholesale, we think
it very likely that the pure article will be amazing
ly disguised on its passage from the warehouse of
the importer to the chop of the apothecary.
Now, in order to insure the safety Of the consul
mer, the laws protection ought to guard his phys
ic from its arrival in America until it is compound
ed into prescription. This can only be done by
local enactments. Upon the continent of Europe
apothecaries are not only subject to examination
to the fitness for their occupation las they should
be everywhere,) but their shops liable to visits
from sworn examiners at all seasons, so that the
fraudulent poisoner of health may, at any moment,
be detected in nefarious commerce.
1t strikes us that if it is we'll to examine our
drugs at time, it is equally so to carry out the
idea at all times. The patient must get his pkysic
pure That is the true object of legislation on the
subject. But it is evident that all general laws
must fail to secure this end unless special ones are
made to back them. Watch the apothecary as
well as the merchant. Baltimore american.

The LIQUOR LAW IN CoNNEcT1cur. The cues
ton of enacting a Maine law is before the Le-
gislature of Connecticut. A majority of the com
mittee to which the subject was referred have TAX
en- ground against the measure in report coucIud-
ing as follows:
"a law similar to that of the State of Maine is
inconsistent with all the great principles that pro-
tect persons, property, possession, and domicil; is
inconsistent with the progress of liberty and free
institutions in our republican nation it at best of
doubtful constitutionality expediency is subject
to extensive abuse for the qualification of private
malice, or the fanatical notions of coercive moral
reformers; is not enjoined by any constitutional
obligation to make such statute and cannot OBJ
tain the general acquiescence or support of the
community in its enforcement; that therefore it is
calculated 20 unsettle the rights of property the
observance and respect for wholesome and lust
laws, and to bring into discredit the constitution
the laws, and the Judicial tribunals, without offer
ing any practical and certain benefits which are
hot better secured by laws made in accordance
with those settled convictions of fundamental rights
which have so long made the citizens of this emil
nent and venable Commonwealth law respecting
and a law abiding people"
In accordance with these views, the majority
have submitted a resolution debating that no leg
islation is called for the subject while the mi
nority have presented Maine law bill.

The RICHEST MINE. The manures applied to
the soil of England amounts to three hundred
millions of dollars; being more than the value of
the whole of its foreign commerce; yet the CRATE
full soil yields back with interest ali that is thus
lavlshed upon it. And so it would do here if we
would only trust the soil with any portion of our
capital But this we rarely do A farmer who
has made any money, spends it not in his business,
but in some other occupation. He buys more
land when he ought to buy more manure; or he
puts out his money in some joint stock company,
to convert sunshine into moonshine-or he buys
shares in some gold or lead mine Rely upon it,
our richest mine is the barnyard, and whatever
temptations, stocks or shares may offer, the best
investment for farmer is live stock and pIow-
shares.
