A Pleasant Surprise.

A young man of eighteen or twenty
student in a university-tooka walk
one day with professor, who was COM
monty called the students friend, such
was his kindness to the young men whom
it was his Office to instruct.
While they were walking together,
and the professor was seeking to lead the
conversation to grave subjects, they saw
apair of old shoes lying in the path,
which they supposed belonged to poor
man who had nearly finished his days
work. The young student turned to the
professor, saving: "Let us play the
man trick. We will hide his shoes,
and conceal ourselves behind these
bushes, and watch to see his perplexity
when he cannot find them"
"My dear friend" answered the pro-
fessor, eve must never amuse ourselves
at the expense of the poor. But you are
rich, and may give yourself much
greater pleasure bymeansof this poor man.
Put crown-piece, if you have them, in
each shoe, and then we will hide our
selves"
The student, luckily having two crown
pieces, did so, and then placed himself,
with the professor, behind the bushes
hard by, through which they could easily
watch the laborer, and see whatever won
der or joy he might express.
The poor man soon finished his work,
and came across the field to the path
where ne had left his coat and shoes.
While he put on his coat, he slipped one
foot into one of his shoes. Feeling some
thing hard, he stopped down and found
the crown.
AstOnishment and wonder were upon
his countenance. He gazed upon the
crown, turned it around, and looked
again and again; then he looked around
on all sides. but could see no one. Now
he put the money in his pocket, and pro-
ceeded to put on the other shoe; but
what was his establishment when he
found the other crown! His feelings
overcame him. He fell upon his knees,
looked up to heaven, and uttered loud
and fervent thanksgiving, in which he
spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and
his children, who from some unknown
hand would be saved from perishing.
The young man stood there deeply af
fected, and with tears in his eyes.
"Now," said the professor, care you
not much better pleased than if you had
played your intended trick?"
ooh, dearest sir" answered the youth,
"you have taught me lesson now that
will never forget. feel now the truth
of the words which / never before un-
derstood-'It is better to give than to
receive,u

Political Morality OF Women.

Mr. Z. w. Higginson, in recent num-
Der of the Womdn's journal, gives an in
teresting account of his submission of
the Belknap case TO five ladies of bis
acquaintance, one of them person
"whose moral standard is rather exact.
ing, and whose absolute directness
and truthfuness would drive Charles
Reade to despair" This last one saw
nothing wrong in Belknap's performances
and argued the matter with Mr.. Higgin-
son. Of the other four, only one looked
at it as an honorable man would look at
case of bribery; the Others denounced
the ex-secretary and his wife solely on
philanthropic grounds, !. e., because they
raised the prices of the suffers goods to
the soldiers.
The conclusion Mr.. Higginson draws
from this state of things (Which he
deeply deplores) is that the loose views OF
these ladies on the subject Of public
morality were due, not to their sex, but
to the habit Of their sex-thatis, to their
remoteness from public affairs, and their
want OF familiarity with them; and he
compares their notions about bribery To
those of recluse or unworldly men-to
those, for instance, of Charles Lamb, who
humorously approved of smuggling. AS
matter of fact, we think Mr.. Higgin-
ION greatly undertakes the political
morality of recluse and unworldly males
We have never happened to come across
one who, in his retirement, was not much
more sensitive and exacting on the mat
ter of official purity than those more
actively engaged"

DR.. schcnck,. standard Remcdlies.

The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
arc SCBENcK's fULMoNIo SYRUP, ScHESCK's SEA
WEED Tonic, and ScHENcK's MANDRAKE PILLS, and,
IL taken before tho lungs are destroyed, a speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. J. II. Schenck, OF
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonio Syrup ripens the merbid matter In
the lungs; nature throws it of by easy expocto-
ration, for when the phegm matter is ripe slight
cough will throw off, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this, Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and ScheDcks Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
Schencks Mandrake Pills act on the liver, rcmov-
ing all distractions, relax the gall bladder the bile
starts freely, and the liver is relieved.
Schencks Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alkal of which 1t Is composed,
mixes with the food and prevents souring. assists
the digestion by tonng up the stomach to healthy
condition, SO that the food and the Pulmonic Syrup
will make good blood; then the lungs heal, and the
patient will surely get well If care is taken to pre-
vent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DIR. Schenck, either per-
sonay or by letter, do at his principal Office

CHRONIC DISEASES CURED.-In communi-

be but two alternatives for the sick either to
employ the family physician or to patronize
the patent medicine vendors. Those who are
driven to this extremity, il suffering with
chronic disease, we would advise to write to
DIR. +. b. FooTE, of 100 Lexington Av., N. Y.
DIR. +. is the noted author of "Plain Home

which have had q wide circulation all over
the globe. In DIR. +. we have physician who
has had extensive experience In treating the
sick at distance from his office, and, more.
over, his consultations are free. Any one OF
our readers is at liberty to consult him with
the mere outlay of postage stamp. He is said
to have patients at this moment in Germany,
Great Britain, Liberia, Chinese Empire, and
the West Indies. Ii patent medicines can
now and then hit successfully when adopted
by people who have little knowledge OF their
own organizations or of their diseases, how
much more successfully can physician, after
instituting all necessary inquiries, prepare
remedies precisely suited to the organization
and diseases of the invalid; just as a tailor
cuts and fits coat to the back. In this more
important matter relating to the health and

New MpyicO.

New Mexico is anxious to become q
State. The objection to its promotion
from the territorial condition are, first,
that it lacks the sufficient number OF
inhabitants. Second, that nine-tenths
ofthem speak only the Spanish language,
and are mostly illiterate. Only small
part of the population has any acguaint-
ance with American history and insti-
buttons, and the territory is much more
obedient to canonical than to National
law. Educational advantages have
much improved within late years, but
there is still much to be desired in an in
crease of the number and improvement
of the quality of the schools.
The recently published report of the
Secretary of the Territory, Hon. w. G..
Ritch, furnishes some important facts on
these points. The first permanent
school was established at Santa Fe in
1852 by the Sisters of Lorette, and now
has ten teachers and 165 pupils. In
187l-72 the Legislature passed public
school law, having rejected one ten years
previous. The schools are, however,
largely under the control of the Roman
Catholic clergy. The text books are
BCHcIdily CpduINii, anu Iuc CuuICu CdtC-
chism is taught in the same language.
In at least five counties the schools are
in direct charge Of the Jesuits and
other religious orders. The funds are
also illegally appropriated to pay the
salaries of school boards and other Off
Gals for services which have not been
rendered, or are of slight importance.
A bill perfecting the organization of
school districts, abolishing the pay OF
school officers, requiring teachers to pass
an examination, and secularizing the
schools, recently passed the Council by a
vote of nine to four. In the House the
non-sectarian clause was first struck out
and the measure was then defeated by
fourteen to ten. The more intelligent
members were its supporters and among
them were fifteen Catholics, natives OF
the territory.
1t will be seen by these facts that New
Mexico is making some progress, but it
is equally apparent that it is not in a
condition to become desirable addition
TO the Union of States. Much of it,
population is Mexican, and certainly
unfit for the duties of National citizen
ship. 1t will be p reai kS:::adne:G:s; ~ New
Mexicans, anu simple justice to other
parts of the country, to delay the adj
mission of the territory until its people
know more than they now do.-Cmcip.

TILES FOR RooMs.-A comparatively
new mode for employing tiles for the
lining of rooms has been introduced
The tiles are placed together in their un.
glazed state, and picture is painted
upon them in colors suitable for firing
They are then taken asunder and put
into the furnace, and then subjected tC
great heat and glazed. If this is success
fully accomplished, the tiles can now be
fixed against the wall of the room, and
present an absolutely understandable
decoration, which can be washed az
often as it is needed, though, from it,
high glaze, it is not easily apt to catch
dirt.
