Letters to the Editor-A Word in Season
New York Tribune.l

New York Tribunel
Joseph Dawkins, of Madison county, Ind,
is greatly grieved because the newspapers
will not insert his communications. Joseph
Dawkins publishes his griefs in Chicago
journal He says that his offerings at the
shrine of the press have been numerous, and
that they have been treated with silent con-
tempt, which we think extremely probable.
But Mr. Dawkins in his indignation goes, we
think, altogether too far when he asserts that
editors fare not wise and we'll informed men
in general" because they will not print the
Dawkins productions. We think him little
wrong in another respect. His theory seems
to be that it is the duty of a newspaper to
print all communications whatsoever which
are sent to it, leaving the reading public
to Judge of their value or pertinency.
But Mr.. Dawkins, in saying this, knows not
what he says.
He hasn't probably any idea of the huge
bulk of Letters to the Editor" which the
mails of every day bring to the Office Of a
popular newspaper-letters de omnibus rebMs
ct quibusdam aliis. Many of these contain
valuable information or acute suggestions,
which are utilized in one way or another.
Many of them are upon the same topic,
necessitating selection. Many of them are
SO badly written and SO unimportant that
their revision would be thankless labor.
Many of them are crude, and many merely
curious. But writer's may rest assured that
the inclination Of good newspaper is.
always to print, when it is possible to do so,
because these reports and suggestions di-
rectly from the people have an intrinsic
value OF their own apart from their literary
merit. To print all communications which
are sent is strictly an impossibility. So
communicates must take their chance and
when sensible writer fin Is no attention
paid to his letter, he will take it philo-
and understand that no personal
indignity is intended.

THE GENTLE LIFE.-This is the beautiful
heritage of the well-born man and the gen.
tie woman. They may be poor or rich to-
day, they may be living life of leisure OF
toiling for their bread-all the same they
carry with them the grace, the care, the
gentleness, the consideration, the knowledge
which we call int iition or instinct, which
comes from generations of culture and a
Thousand qualities of mind and heart which
win social recognition and bring happiness
to the p0ssessor. 4
The accumulation of mere money as an
Inheritance for children is often worse than
nothing in their hands; it deprives them of
all incentive to personal effort and unfre-
quently proves the means by which they
ride fast to destruction. Money is worse
than nothing if the lives Of the past and
associations of the present have not taught
us how to put it to its nOblest uses
But the order, the training, the experience
of life are invaluable. They form, with
education, a key that unlocks the recesses of
the world, and becomes q power that no
loss in stocks or bonds or houses or lands
can deprive the fortunate pOssessor of.
They make him the equal Of the best, and
therefore at ease with all men. Deprived Of
leisure and Of resources which he would
know how to appreciate, he still finds with
in himself more than others find outside of
Outwardly, his life is isolated;
inwardly, he holds communion with all that
is best and finest in art and society and
literature. His gracious and kindly man
ners, which he retains in spite of poverty or
wealth, show that he cOnsOrts only with the
noblest, whether his dwelling here be a hut
Or palace.

BAGGAGE SMAsHERs.-The most impor.
tant persons that can be found on the mum
dane sphere are those known as, and vul-
carly called by the public, " baggage.
smashers." The manner in which they
handle Saratoga trunks is amazing Several
enterprising persons-victims of their dex-
terity, no dOubt-have at different times
proposed measures for the utter extermina-
tion of these illustrious personages; but, as
yet, none have been found effective enough
for adoption. However, "baggage-smash-
ers" often meet with articles which carry
concealed weapons" and then the "bag-
gage smasher," after years of patient wait
ing, gets what he deserves. This was the
case In Hudson short time ago, when a
stranger entered hotel in that place, and
gave a valise, in which was a large bottle
of ether, to the porter, who, with great
economy, deposited it with no slight force,
behind the office railing. The bottle of ether
broke, of course, and the fumes invading
the atmosphere, and likewise the olfactories
of the punctilious porter, he was soon in the
arms Of Morpheus, and it was not until a
doctor was summoned and applied the proper
restoratives that the dextrOus "baggage-
smasher' was brought to consciousness.

fOCAdOIN1AS.
Upon the barren sand
single captive stood;
Around him came, with bow and brand,
The red men Of the wood.
Like him of o d, his doom he hears,
Rock bound on oceans rim;
The chieftain's daughter kneli in tears,
And breathed prayer for him.
Above his head in air,
The savage war-cub swung;
The frontier girl. in wild desp lir,
Her arms about him flung.
Then shook h. warriors of the shade,
Like leaves on aspen-limb,
Subdued by that heroic maid,
Who bres he'd pr yer for him.
"Unbind him." gasped the chief,
Is 1t il your kinx's decree F."
He kissed away her tears of grief,
And set the captive free.
ii ever thus, when. in life's storm,
Houe's star to man grows dim,
An angel kheels in woman's form,
And breathes prayer for him.
Yours,

How HE RESTORES HIS MEMoRY.-A
shrewd wife in town, who has a forgetting
husband, has adopted a method of jogging
his memory, which is at once novel and eff
fectual. When she des're him to bring her
anything from the store, she makes cross on
the back of his hand with lead pencil
When he takes drink at saloon, in ex-
tending his hand for the glass, he invariably
sees that mark, and remembers his Grand
Being thus reminded thirty or forty times
day, it would be singular indeed if he for
got what was required of him.

COEDUCATION OF THE SEXES.-The cues
ton whether boys and girls should be edu-
Gated together, which is as old as the school
system itself, is at this time agitating
Brooklyn, where the mixed system has pre-
vailed in the schools for several years. In
his last annual report to the Board of Edu-
cation, Mr.. Thomas w. Field, the superin-
tendent of schools, took strong ground
against this practice, alleging that as CO.
operation of the sexes has no foundation in
necessity, and is associated with possible
danger, it should be avoided rather than
encouraged; and further, that his examina-
tiOns had proved that most of the young
men who occupy seats in the higher, and
especially in the supplementary classes, are
entirely incompetent for the grade. Mr.
Field states plainly in his report that pain
full facts in his possession convince him that
there were evils inherent in this system of
coeducatiOn of the sexes which were con-
elusive against its continuance.
The New York Times, referring to the fact
that in the public schools of that city the
boys and girls have for years been educated
separately, as they are in Baltimore, says
that as cOnses uence these schools have
steadily advanced in character, drawing
into them constantly increasing numbers
from those who would not before send their
children to such schools, until now there is
little to choose in general popularity be-
tween the best public and private schools.
The "sumanizing" influence, prated about
by sentimental theorists, of girls upon boys
vt the formative periods of life is consid-
red somewhat prOblematical.

A CANDIDATE RETIREs.-A candidate fol-
jailer, in Louisville, KY, has "retired from
the field Of ambitious contest" and is in
this lively manner eulogized:: by the press
" 1t has leaked out that there is one candi-
date less. Not that an ofice-grabber has
died and gone to claim their reward-a
candidate never dies-but that one has with
drawn and left US TO grope through with
the beggarly number, seventy-eight aspi-
rants to that office, when we are justly enti-
tied to seventy nine, and should rightfully
have them" This retiring candidate is q, IT,

A NEW IssUE.-The House of Represen.
tatives will probably be forced into de-
cision of the question of the rights of polyg
ainists in Utah, now that Elder Cannon has
been admitted to his seat as delegate from
Utah. An effort was made to prevent the
admission of Cannon, because he is a Nor.
mon, and Is alleged to be a practical polyg-
amist, but the House very wisely decided fo
admit him as the duly elected member. .
and to decide upon his personal qualifica-
lions afterwards. A resolution has been
passed directing an inquiry into the alleged
polygamous practices of Elder Cannon. Ii
he were delegate from any other part of
the country. the questio1 of his qualification
would probably rest solely on the question
OF fact, but as it is, there will no doubt be
an effort made in his behalf to prove that
Mormonism, with their polygamy which it
Justlfies, is religious faith, and that the re-
f!isal to admit Mormon to office would be
the application of a religious test forbidden
by the Constitution.
A TERRIBLE SCENE AT A GRAvE-A Paris
correspondent of the London papers tells
the following: GA sad incident took place
yesterday in the churchyard of Grosbois, a
village outside of Paris. The body of a
child was about to be lowered into the grave
when the supposed corpse was heard to
groan. Inc mother bounced on the coffin
and wrenched off the lid with pair of scis.
sors which she had in her pocket. Mon
Dieu! cried she, my son lives-he's alive
he's saved!' and taking the poor little
shrouded body in her arms, she bathed it
with her tears and kisses. But her low was
brief. The child made movement and.
uttering another feeble groan, threw back
its head and-died. The mother gazed on
the corpse with haggard eyes, and then
clasped 1t to her breast with dispair, and for
few moments her whole BODY was con.
vulsed. Suddenly she fell to the ground as
II struck by lightning, and when recovered
from her swoon, she became insane.

flames could be extinguished only with
great difficulty. and not until distance Of

The following story comes from Ireland:
Two men had quarrel in liquor-sh0p.
They adjourned outside to settle the dis
pute. The first man, being from Connaught,
Immediately seized lump of stone and let
fly at the head of his opponent, who dipped
his head and missed the stone, which went
through an expensive plate-glass window,
and did much damage. A magistrate was
called upon next morning to determine
which of the two should pay the cost. The
evidence clearly showed that the aim was
good one, and that if the second man had
not dipped his head he would have been
struck. "Therefore," said the magistrate,
:" he must pay the damages, as it is certain
the first man didn't intend to iniure the
window, and the window would not have
been injured if it had not been for the act
of the second.
"The conversation of old men of ability,
before tt ey have passed into the stage Of
imbecility," says DR.. Beard, els usually
richer and more instructive than the con-
versation OF the young; for in conversation
we simply distribute the treasures of the
memory, as store boarded during long
years OF thought and experience. CONVEX
sation is, therefore, regarded as the ightest
form of intellectual labor, and grows easier
as we grow older, because we have greater
resources to draw from. He who thinks, as
he converses, is poor companion, as he who
must earn his money before he spends any
is poor man. When an aged Millionaire
makes liberal donation it costs him
nothing; he but gives out Of abundance that
has resulted by natural accumulation from
the labors of his youth and middle life.
When an old man utters great thoughts it
is not age but youththat speaks through the
lips Of age; his ideas which, in their incep-
ton and birth, drew heavily on the powers
Of the brain, are refined, resolved, and dis
seminated almost without effort"
