To the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR: As you are not afraid to let the public
mind "air' ITSELF please allow me, as an atom or
molecuIe of said omnL Union mind, to ask few
questions:
Was the Limitation of once adopted to compel
the people TO forego the service Of good and efi-
cient officers, or
Was 1t adopted to afford the people chance Of
remedying any mistake 1t might make in electing
bad men2
II the latter, where is the objection to Gen.
Grants second reelection?
Is he less At now to fill the office OF President
than he was four or eight years ago?
Might he not himself be willing to admit that
he Is now richer in experience and knowledge
than he was at those periods, and hence more
If the Limitation is binding on the people what
then becomes OF its autonomy And Is IL not
rather humilisting than otherwise that the peo-
ple shall stand confessed as limited In power
to retain good man In ONCE If such one mas
been Sund?
The argument of washington's example Is OF
no weight He had reached the acme Of his glory,
and had more 10 lose than to win by continuance
abie and reyered patriots and had less executive
duties a. that period than now falls 10 the mayor
of any OF cur large cities.
AS for the danger OF perpetuating the govern
meut making IL deEpotic, ETC., such arguments
arc shallow insults to the american public. Con-
sign those to Dryasdust x %.
THOSE, therefore, who agree on Gen. Grants
ability and efficiency, and who agree also on the
absence of any enc candidate strong enough 70
command general favor ought to be outspoken in
their advocacy Of his claims.
And those only who deny bis ability and en-
cheney are on debatsble ground. Let them mar
shal their armies and float their banners, and the
question ia then only as to who Is the strongest

BAYARD TAYLoR's LECTURE.

A large and Intellectual audience assembled
last night at the Congreg itlonal church to hear
the lecture Of the eel brated author and traveller
Bsyard Taylor, upon "SchIller and his Associ-
stes, given at the invitation Of the Washington
Schillerbund, to celebrate their thrtieth reunion
and the anniversary Of the poets birthday.
twas doubtless exceedingly gratifying to this
fine literary association, we'll as to the dIstIp-
guIshed lecturer TO sec so large and distinguished
an assent blage upon this occasion. The church
wasweil filled. There were veryfew vacant seats
at all and IN the gallery there was only standing
room for those who arrived iateI IN tee evening.
Prof ]. W. Bischof, the organtst, treated the
audience 10 some Of the most exquisite selections

Mr. Taylor opened his lecture oy saying tnat
be was GLAD to ind here in the national capital
such
PURE AND NOBLE APPRECIATION
Of Schiller. The name of Schiller Is familiar TO %
hundreds who have never read his writings. He
Is so generally beloved By the people OF intelii-
gence both in Germany and America that MS
name Is household word In both e9untries; ~, ~
many Of their tastes and feelings, through our
love Of German literature; and OF this litersture
none is more popular than Schiller's. A singular
fascination clings to his name. Few poets have
SO fully won the admiration and love Of the peo-
pie or entered into their feelings,
scHILLKR's EARLY LIFE AND EDUCATION
is known to all his admirers, and 50 much has
been written upon this subject that It Is unneces-
sary TO repeat It. The Duke of Wurtemburg
educated him, free Of expense, at the military
academy founded by himself at the CIstle OF Soli-
tude-and afterwards transferred 20 Stuttgart-
under the name of karls Sehule.
His early successes did not blind him. No one
saw the faults Of his writings or condemned them
more emphatically than himself. He said: "My
great mistake was IN endesvoring to represent
man fully two years before really knew q man. ("
ssThe Robbers" was written when the poet was
but twenty years Of age, and created the most
intense enthusiasm. Other works followed In

Madmau at Bsy.

French correspondent says: A strange and
painful event is reported to have taken place at
st. Omer. The other day an old soldier, named
Lepretre, who had gone mad, made his escape
from st. Louis and threw himself inte the river.
He was dragged ont and secured without much
trouble by the gendarmes- Unfortunately he was
permitted to escape q second time, when he sought
refuge on the roof OF house and obstinately re-
fused to come down. The madman demolished a
chimney and flung the bricks at all who ap-
preached him. The fre-engine was brought out
against him, but he was not to be driven from his
post by water. An atteEspt was made TO take the
position by assault, but the man who had volun-
Ieered to climb the chimney was sooa put horS de
combat. A strong narcotic was mixed with the
food handed up to the besieged but It had no effect
on Lepretre, who kept his post for two days and
two nights At last, tired Of waiting, the author-
ties Of st. Omer resorted to the ultima ratio and
actually employed firearms. The unfortunate
mailman, after having been wounded by two
Chassepot bullets and two bullets from revolver,
capitulated and was taken back TO the hospital.

The Proposed Female Training School.
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: There is to be started in this city, during
the present month, q training school for women,
similar in plan and purpose to the one so success
full in New York city.
Its intention is to fit women for profitable en-
ployment by q thorough and comprehensive sys-
TEN Of instruction in the various branches OF
household labor. Arrangements have been made
with q competent person to take charge OF the In
struction in cooking, laundry, and general house
work, while such as are desirous of perfecting
themselves in the higher classes Of work, as type
setting, prooCTeadlng, shorthand, fine sewing,
&C., will be enabled to do so.
Cooking classes for ladies will be opened at the
same time to which q moderate price Of admis-
sion will be attached.
1t Is hoped that mothers of families VIII avail
themselves of this opportunity to tram their
dauRhters in home duties, aud at the same time
means OF honorable independence to so many Of
their own sex who so sadly need assistance. To
become selEsupporting is the ultimate intention
Of the school, but while yet in its infancy It nust
depend largely on the interest add good viii OF
its friends and the ladies' class, II properly pat
ronzed, will go far towards providing the necss-
pecIally intended to benefit-the working women
instruction, of course, will be furnished free.
An intelligence Office where employees and SER
wants may register their names nan ISIS Is already already open
the opening Of the school, no seryent will be sent
without a certificate Of ability.
Contributions are earnestly requested, and may
be sent TO the treasurer, Mrs. Emma A. Wood,

dent, Miss Mary T. Foster, 1850 Seventeenth

ings. Death by arsenic is an easier one than the
iDeering one in some portions OF the crowded
towns.
TEAR DOWN THESE STRUCTURES
and build new ones, with improved drains and
sewers. England has met and practically settled
many questions Of sanitary science. In Philadel
phia homestead associations provide healthy
homes built on sanitary principles, and nearly
every family resides in its own house. We must
not stop in providing the poor with homes, but
also educate them to soma extent In science and
general intelligence. In all cities homestead
proprietors watch more closely than Any others
the increase or decrease Of taxation, and take the
greatest interest in politics. -
Prof F. Donaldson, NJ. D., OF Maryland, read q
paper on the "lnauence Of City Lie and Occupa-
tions in Developing Pulmonary Consumption" {"
contending that there is no chronic disease so
under the control Of hygienic and sanitary laws
