Plagiarism.

The Oswego Times has good story to
tell, in connection with the literary piracy
in which the students in our colleges and
academies indulge, The late ID. =. Page,
the first Principal Of the Albany State
Normal School, remarks to the following
purport: He said that a few years pre-
vious, while travelling in Massachusetts,
his wife, at a hotel, found an article in q
magazine, which impressed her so tavora
bly, that she copied it into her scrap book
He read it at the time, and had not thought
of it since, until the evening before, wher
the same article had been handed to hin
by one of the students, for correction,
as an original composition. He sincerely
regretted that among young gentlemen anC
ladies, aspiring to the honorable position Of
teachers, even one should be found who
would do so dishonorabie thing as to try
to pass off, as his or her own, the produc
tons of another, and his first impulse was
to expose the fraud in open school, Blu
he presumed it was the first of the kline
that had occurred in that institution, anC
as there might be eXtcnuating circumstan
ces, he had concluded to forgive the Of
fender, provided that individual should cal
at his room within three days, confess the
fault, and promise not to repeat 1t. Ii
this statement Mr. Page gave no intima
ton as to the character of the piece, - OF
the individuality of the offender, and be.
fore the expiration of the three days, more
than twothirds Of the students bad called
upon him, acknowledged the otfense, and
apologized, and, said be, while relating
the circumstances, the right one did not
come at all. The story needs no comment,

The English Way of taking Care of Horses

From the n. Y. Commercial Advertiser
Some English grooms at Saratoga ar
teaching Yankees the care of horses.
asked one Of these grooms, who has spen
twenty years in the stables of royalty, wha
he had TO say about our American way 0
taking care of horse.
Why, sir, " said he, you don't tax,
good care of your horses you think you
do, but you don't.
Why | asked
Because, when a horse comes in all wet
with perspiration, you let him stand in the
stable and dry with all the dirt on In
England we take the horse as he comes
from a drive and sprinkle blood warm wa
ter all over him from his head to his feet.
Then we scrape lin down aud blanket
hun, rubbing his legs and face dry. Thus
III an hour be is clean and dry and ready
70 take d good feed while with Your way
he will stand aud svclter for hours. and
finally dry, sticky and dirty. Our h1r>,,
never founder ana never take eui. We
never Use curry comb ycu scratch your
horses too hard. Tie only care necessary
Is to have the water not too cold: then
blanket them instantly, Whilcy.u are rub
bing their legs"

This Republican Successors Of the Tweed Ring,

from tue N. i. IrlDune
There has been no reform yet of the
New York City government. Connolly
and Genet are in exile, and Tweed is in a
striped Jacket; but the same system Of
political chicanery, the same roguery at the
polls, the same disgraceful misuse of Off
cial position which made those worthless
rich and powerful flourish abundantly I'M
der their successors. The reform move.
ment Of 1871 never fairly took hold of the
people. 1t was arrested by political fac
ton before it had got Roadway, and instead
of being allowed to sweep through the de
partments, carrying away the foul accumu
iations of the Tammany ring, it was di
verted by the new partisan conspirators tc
turn the wheels of their little machine
OF course we see the old abuses springine
up again. The first step is to control the
counting Of votes. The second will be t.
rob the treasury.

Tweed occupies closely guarded cell
on Blackwell's Island. Shepherd breathes
the moral atmosphere of Washington, a
prosperous gentleman. Behold the differ

The Democratic leaders spurned Tweed.
Republican statesmen take Shepherd by
the hand, and Grant ''sticks to him like a
brother. '--NoshuWe Uni0n.
