enough to afford sufficient opportunity to
correct the errors and supply the omissions
in them which may be pointed out by the
Governor.
The Supply bill, on which the Bald Eaglo
OF Wcstchester has been hard ut work for

he has regarded as one Of the great tri-
umphs of his civic career. lies tangled mass

Gov. RICE OF Massachusetts has very
properly sent back the rcsurrectcd prohibtory
liquor act t. the State Senate with his objuc-
tions; and the prohi0itionists Ia that body have
boon unable to muster sufficient strength to
pass It over his veto. or course there will be a
howl Of vitupcration along the whole prohib-
tory line but. as Gov. llicr is used TO H. he
probably won't mind. When he was lrst
nominated. he was courtcously spoken of
ny that wing Of tho Massachusetts Re-
publican party as the free-rum candi-
date. and hls election was bcwailod as n
frcc-rum victory The present license law
Of Massachusetts has not yet had fair trial II
has been in operation only little over a year.
In that time it has worked well; certainly a
great deal better than the old prohibtory law
which WIS absolutely worthless except as a con-
yenient instrument Of wrcahing private spitcs
and Of blackmaing. II is rs stringent as a
license law could well be made. contains tho
local option principle. and il practically more
prohihitlye to-day az to two-thirds Of the cities
and towns Of the Commonwealth than the law
which it replaced. Since its passage drunken
ness has perccptbly decreased. The majority
of the General Court dishonesty ATTEMPTED 4
cngraft upon it soma of the worst features Of
the old system. and Gov. RICE has done exactly
right in blocking their game.

Gov. ROBINSON is q man Of n sound and

the three he had drawn. But now. after so
much trouble had been taken to get the thing
fixed TO his advantage, Gov ROBINSON steps to

in the Supply bill. The Governor evidently
holds that II receipt in full means something

Corporal punishment was slightly dis
cussed in the Board Of Education yesterday.
Tho Commissioner who forced ii within tho
range OF discussion had not an opportunity to
say great deal about it, But another Commits
soner had. and he announced himself as " un-
alterably opposed to the barbarous system Of
corporaly furnishing school children" He
said that 1t is not the thing for our public
schools. The City Superintendonts reports
show that tho discipline OF tho pub
lie schools has steadily improved since
the abolition OF corporal punishment in
1870 Last year the discipline was almost per-
feet and thus far this year the City Superinten-
dent. although an advocate Of the restoration Of
corporal punishment. has had scarcely any
thing unfavorable to say about IT, Out Of over
two hundred thousand pupils. only one hun
dred and eight have been expelled thus far in
this year. not nearly as many as were expelled
in the course OF n year when corporal punish
mcnt was administered. Tho only argument
that can be offered In support Of corporal pun
ishment Ia that in expelling pupils the board
dcprivcs them of the privilege of u public
school education.

A FLOOR OF SILvER.-On the closing
up OF the Smith Il Rogers silver plating
concern, in New Haven, recently, pre-
paratory to its removal TO Meriden, the
floor Of the plating room WAS taken up,
burned, and the ashes snalyzed, with the
result Of procuring pure silver to the
amount OF 1881. This result is no. 20
strange Ms it appears at frst sight. The
precious metals are capable OF extreme
volstilization under heat, becoming mere
vapors which may be condensed in
pure form. But even without heat, tho
particles Of gold and silver are made so
exceedingly fine in the process of manu-
fscture Of gold and silver goods, whether
solid or plated, that no devices tor saving
the material sbraded or thrown off in the
various manipulations ars entirely effect
ual. Even in the government assay Of
fees the SCOT deposited in the chimneys
in the smelting OF the crude metal is val
liable and in most manufactures OF mr.
ticles OF gold and silver, the proprietors
do not allow the workmen TO retain their
work clothes when worn out, put pay
for them price generally sufficient to
procure snew gsrments-An old tatteIed

Ing valued by the employers, even when
worn to rags, at $50.

CURE By UGHTER.-Laughter has
often dissipated disease and preserved

told that the great Erasmus laughed so

who had ordered dose of rhubarb,
countermanded it, and the medicine was
left on the table. A monkey in the room
jumping up, discovered the goblet, and
having tasted, made terrible grimace,
Again, putting only his tongue to it, he
perceived some sweetness in the dissolved
mama, while the rhubarb had sunk to
the bottom. Thus emboldened, he swal
lowed the whole, but found it such a
nauseous potion that after many strange
grimaces he ground his teeth in agony,
and in violent fury threw the glass on
the floor. The whole affair was so ludi-
crous that the sick man burst into re
peated pesls Of laughter, and the recovery
Of cheertulness led to health.

AN ABUSED BRUTE's VENGEAECE.-
Instances of terrible resentment by tor
tured horses, resulting in the death OF
their masters, have frequently been known
and would be more frequent were the
horse as quick TO resent as the elephant,
or even the camel. A New York paper
thus recalls the incident near BROOKLYN.
Of cruel masters narrow escape from
'u3h panishment, and describes the
rror (perhaps remorse) with which the
man remembered it,
Alphonse Cate returned to Williams
burg yesterday after an absence of five
years. His return recalled the story OF
his departure. Then he occupied gro
Gerry in Grand, near Ninth street. He
was the owner Of large sorrel animal.
After months of il treatment tie horse
became unfit for work, and Mr.. Cate was
forced to give il 10 the oaal contractor to
be killed. To the offal wharf he led it,
bslaboring II on the way with long
stick. The horse was tied and one of the
contractors men raised the AKA. As the
blow fell on the horses forehead the ami.
NAL tore the rope from its fastening, tot
tered for moment and then dashed
through the crowd OF oilers direct fol
Cate. Terrified, Cate ran up the wharf,
The horse pursuing him to a pile of lum-
ler in the shipyard on the opposite side.
The horse WAS almost on him with out
stretched neck and open jaws, and fire
flashing from his eyes. Cate doubled
about the pilo and elm bed on its top AS
the hoss tried t. spring after him. The
effort, however, had exhausted the horse
and it died with its fore feet resting or
the pile. Gate was so overcoms that he
had to be carried down from the lumber
A few days thereafter he sold out and
di appeared. When questioned yester.
day, Cate shook with terror, and begged
not to be reminded Of IT.. 81 went away. >

THE MAN WHO GREW.

One day last week Detroit mechanic
was going down Michigan avenue, and
became favorably impressed with pair
of pants hanging in front OF cheap
clothing store. The price was low, the
goods seemed all right, and he made up
his mind to purchase. .Ft
- git you de word of Andrew Shack
son dot dose pants are shust like iron,"
dime"
After three or four days wear, the
purchaser found the bottom of the pants
craving toward his knees. 1t was bad
case of shrinksge, and he got mad and
went back to the store and ssid
" You swiGded me on these pants
See how they have shrunk !"
The dealer looked him all over, felt Of
his head, pulled on the pants, and finally
said
g l shall give you one thousand dollars
month if you will travel with me-"
How-what7
You are shust growing right up at
the rate of two inches a day, and j takes
you aroundt de country on exhibition.
Dose pants are shust as long as efer, but

Has de top OF dose pants shrunk

Why, no."
"Shouldn't dc Wristbands shrink down

Well, don: like this way of doing

"Shust like me. If sells such ele-
CANT pants as dose 10 man, and he
grows out of dem, it damages my trade.
i Iou hat damaged me i've hoonered dol

cent tie for fye cents"
The'msn walked out to the curbstone,
and, turning around, shook his fist and
said
" You are liar and cheat, and I'll
dare you out here !"
"Such dipgs sink deep into my heart,"
sighed the dealer, as he took down his
pipe. dinks sells out dis peesness
