the debt. This law has never been obeyed In
| a single instance, and tho Committee are
naturally curious to know whether it Will DO
defied on the LIST Of next month as 1t has been
heretofore.
The story of the use of the public funds is
soon told. The average monthly balance in
the hands of the Treasurer during the past
twelve years has been S2,10O,000, and during
all that time, although tho money has been on
deposit with various banks and bankers all
over the State, not one cent OF interest has
reached the public treasury. AT five per
"cent," say the Committee, "these balances
"would have netted the receiver S1,2OO,OOO.
&c. Of course tho State Treas
"urer cannot lawfully appropriate any
"interest on the public moneys to his
Gown use To do so would be TO render him
L" self liable to fine, imprisonment, and removal
9" from Office (act Of March 81, 1860, or TO
Impeachment and removal from office (act
of May 8, 1870. Yet every one must realize
" that it is not in accordance with the conduct
" of human affairs that this large balance should
4" have been deposited with various banks and
"mOnetary institutions, at time, TOO when
"capital was demanding and receiving large
"returns and no interest have been paid to the
" depositor. But if paid where has it gone 7"
That interesting question will have TO be
answered sooner or later. Pennsylvania poll
ticians know in general way where the
money has gone but the particular channels
through which it has diiTused itself remain to
be explored. The Committee is still at work
in a blind and cropping sort of way, and hopes
to present further information to the public in
the course of time. We can hardly expect to
discover much, however, until the Legislature
of PENNSYLVANIA undertakes the exploration
with more energetic determination to find
out the truth.

capacity is private citizens. Nevertheless they
have discovered enough TO show that the Iu-

it imperative upon the Legislature when it

II il high time for the more honorable lead
ei3 of both parties to comprehend the line OF
attack which Western Democracy has chosen.
However much condemned, it cannot safely be
despised. 1t concentrates three powerful forces,
the communis.ic hatred OF invested capital, the
hunger of the embarrassed dealer or manuiac-
turer for rising market and whatever Of
vindicliye spirit still fingers among those who
synpithzed with rebellion.
The men who first sought removal OF abuses
in railway management did not intend 20 rob
capital of any right But al class movements,
in the attempt to promote the interests of a
pagt of the people only, are apt to ignore the
rights of Others and to rouse a spirit which
asslils those rights. The concentration OF farln-
ers for political objects speedily aroused a
feeling of hostility TO invested capital TO that
feeling fanatical advocates of class legislation,
and reckless demagOgIes, were swift TO appeal.
Not content with legitimate objections to
abuses men began to complain that while farm
ers often earned 10 more than three per
cent, invested capital earned from six
to ten per cent. Resolutions seeking a
limitation of the profits of railroads We're
quickly followed by resolutions dcnouncing
the National banks, advocating the payment Of
fiye-twenty bonds in greenbacks, and calling
for large initiation and "cheap money" Re-
markable victories were gained by the aid of
tho feeling thus aroused. 1t swept before it
shallow politicians of both parties as chaff is
whirlcd away by a mighty wind. Bowling be-
fore it, in that cOwardly and conscienceless

The killing of Bailey by his son will revive the
ancient discussion the rights of fathers and tho
forbearance Of sons. and perhaps serve to set the
limits hey nd which parental eccentricties cannot
20. That there is n line which the father cannot
exceed without subcciing himself to a shooting by
the son. seems now TO be pretty well established.
The late Mr. B,iey's eccentrcies were, it must be
confrs sed Of too original and violent character to
be comfortable. His taste in projecties ran too
much to stOve-iifters and plates to be gentce and
he was altogether too violent in his prendices against
certain of the Commandments. But with all these
and other related circumstances, 1t Is hard to
SEQ why no mder remedy than der
ringer could be found for case of wife
persecution or why full-giown young man could
not have oy ercome with something else than powder
aid ball % brute fired with liquor 1t is difficult to
imagine any circumstances that would justify a son
in tho killing of his father and it is equally difficult
TO account for the applause that hot-hcaded news
papers are already bcstowng this particular par
rcile. The deed, provoked as it was and done, az
il may have been, in tho very emergency of self
defense is terrible rebuke to the practice Of pistol
carrying that has grown common among
Young incn of the lower class. The most practical
way to prevent these shocking crimes is the best.
People no do not carry pistol, cannot shoot their

Sugar Secreted by the Liver.

Up to the year 1S48 even physiolo-
gists supposed the only important func-
ton of the liver was to secrete bile.
At this date Bernard announced to the
scientific world that he had discovered
in the liver new function, that Of form
ing sugar, and proceeded to show it by
experiments. The variety of sugar se-
GREETED is the same as that found in the
urine in diabetes hut it is not, like
that, passed out of the system to its
great injury. Indeed, it is not even
passed into the bile ducts as a part of
the bile; but it is passed through the
liver, and energies with the venous
blood in the hepatic vein. Bernard ex-
am:ned the blood in all the other parts
of the body and the tissues, and found
no sugar in any of them except what
could be traced to the liver and he
traced it from the organ to the heart.
then to the lungs, where it seemed to
disappear. 1t is true that the portal
vein, which empties its contents into
the liver, may contain sugar if it is
taken in the food, but if none is taken
in the food then none is found there
whereas the hepatic vein does contain
sugar, whether any is taken in the food
or not. Indeed, to be sure that the
sugar was not derived from the food,
most of the experiments have been
made on csrnivorous animals, in the
food of which no sugar exists. The
kind of sugar formed in the liver re.
sembles glucose, or the sugar resulting
from the digestion of starch. The
quantity is small. It ferments readily,
and is destroyed in the animal economy
with great facility. The use of the
sugar formed in the liver is not we'll
known. 1t almost always disappears in
tie lungs, and probably serves the same
use as the sugar taken as food-viz.,
the production of animal heat. The
liver is known also to produce some
other changes in the blood not yet very
we'll understood.

Judge Donohue delivered from the
bench of the supreme court an exceed
ingy sensible lecture on the dates Of
married life. A wife who has begun a
suit for separation from her husband
on the ground of cruel and inhuman
treatment applied to Judge Donohue
for an order for alimony, which was re-
fused. The cruel treatment compl aimed
of was shown to consist at the most N
nothing more terriblet than an unwilling
ness on the part of the husband to be
bored by piano playing, and his occa
sional distul bance of his wife's SAUNDERS
by returning home late at night and
ringing the front door bell. In an
nouncing his decision, Judge Donohue
told the parties to the suit that "they
should remember that they and their
feelings and comfort are but secondary
to the matter of the good of their chill
dren and the future welfare of those
who have the right to look to them for
example and instruction, must fail TO
become useful members of society"
There can be no doubt of the justice of
these remarks. The practice of most
married people who regard themselves
as the only parties in interest is the
source of frequent domestic misery.
They fail to perceive that the real end
of marriage is the continuance of the
race, and that married people must
consult the welfare of their children
and of the community in preference TO
their own personal whims and pre- ju-

There is nothing in which the sad and
simple denizen of the far west SO de-
lights as in astonishing the tenderly

wistful beings, fresh from the gorgeous
civilization of the east, futtered into a
Virginia City restaurant the other day
for breakfast. While they We re study

them with glance. The opportunity
was too delicious to resist. He sat
down and loudly remarked, Waite,

The anbling waiter shrieked, Cali

Mr.. Terry?" The pensive Terry in
stantly ordt red, in tone of thunder,
the following picturesque dishes /:
Baked horn-toad, two broiled liz ards
on toast, with tarantnla sauce stewed
mathematics on the SIDE" That waiter
was acquainted with the ways of Vir-
ginia City, and, without even a culver
of an eyelash, observed to tie Chinese
menials in the kitchen: "Ba-aked
horned toad; two broi-l-ed lizards on
to-a asst, tran-u-tula sauce stewed rat
tlesnske on the si-i-de! For Mr.. Terry

Terry's real breakfast, privately order
ed, presently appeared, and every indi-
vidual emigrant chokei himself and
got pain in his spine with looking over
his shoulder in the vain fort to see the
dishes which the ingenious
Terry was calmly enjoying.
