High school E1iucnrion.
ILouisville Evening NeWs.I

Apropos 20 the discussion going on in st.
Louis, relative TO common school education
the propriety of abOlishing the high school
and kindergarten departments-the Spring
field Republican prints an article which
com priseS great deal of common sense in q
small space. Let those for and against the
proposed changes in our public schools
read the paragraph which We append, and
they will hardly fail TO acknowledge its
force or reasoning. II is as follows:
There is too much high school dabbling
tkat is not thorough enough for mental
gymnastics nor practical enough for the
utilitarian necessities of those who must
graduate into the hard work OF the common
and laborious pursuits which ballast society.
The great law will assert itself, and all true
education must lay its account with it, that
by the sweat of the brow we must eat our
bread. That is not good American educs-
ton which would spoil farmers boy for
the old homestead, or the farmers girl for
housekeeping. There is too large a crowd of
unfit female school teachers. There are too
many useless third rate lawyers hankering
after office; too many goodish ministers I'M
skillful doctors, ignorant appothecaries, and
too many scribblers There are too many
meatmen, milkmen, drygoodsmen, grocery
men, fishermen. The rush is for the easiest
employment that can be set up without
skilled labor, technical education or any
apprenticeship of patient industry, on Dor
rowed capital, with a bankrupt law for a
refuge Meanwhile there is large range Of
handicrstts, finer manufactures, dec
orative arts, demanding skilled La
Dor, which our Amenc2n methods
of education have hardly thought OF or laid
any plans for. Hence there are multitudes
of our boys and girls who are over educated,
in the sense that they are untitled by an
aimless and merely bookish education for
any pafient and earnest iIfe-work which will
utilize them as producers, and develop their
individuality into the manly or womanly
contamination of a staunch character and a
robust and useful life.'

A Temperance Lecture.

A friend gave me lately the experience of
q skillful professional man in about the
following words:
MY early practice" said the doctor, was
successful, and soon attained an enviable
position. | married lovely girl; two chill
dren were born TO US, ana my domestic
happiness was complete. But was invited
often to social parties, where wine was freely
circulated, aud / soon became 8 slave to its
power. Before L was aware of il / was
drunkard. Mynoble wife never forsook me,
never tainted me with bitter word, never
ceased to pray for my reformation. We
became wretchedly poor, so that my family
were often pinched for bread.

church and left me lying on the lounge,
sleeping off my previous nights debauch

A London Mob.

Bradlaugn's escape from the London war
mob is thus described: "Bradlaugh. seeing
his condition hopeless, threw away his staff,
which he had hitherto used with as much
skill as an Irishman does a shillelah, and
fairly took to his heels and secured across
the park at full speed. He took the direc-
ton of Park lane with loud yelling and boot
ing. A mob of several thousand followed
in pursuit. Across the beautiful hyacinthe
beds and over the light iron ratings went
Bradiaugh, with more agile bounds than
would be believed. The crowd was in full
chase after him, and needless of every obsta-
Gle. The elegant flower parterres and the
handsome fences were trodden ruthlessly
under foot. Gradually the crowd gained on
the flying agitator, and, as he reached Park
lane, were only score or so of yards behind
him. Already the mob shrieked in antic-
patton Of triumph, but, luckily for Brad
laugh, deus ex machina appeared in the
form of a four wheeler or cab. Like hunt
ed deer he sprang into it, and the driver
quickly comprehending the situation, drove
off at full gallOp. Grosns of disappoint
ment came from the crowd as they retired
discomfitted.

lGnldGtlpnla ltecOIu.l
An important movement Is on foot among
the medical profession of the state to obtain
the enactment OF o measure for the protec-
ton of their fraternity while giving evidence
in courts OF law. The proposal, which origi-
mated with the obstetrical society, has al
ready been Endorsed by the PniIadelph
county medical society, the college of physi-
clans, the medical society Of Berks county
and by many of the most eminent medical
practitioners of Pennsylvania.
Petitions to the state legislature, which are
receiving a large number of signatures, de-
clare that there is an absolute necessity for
a law protecting communications between
physicians and patients, and allege that the
judges have it in their power to compel
members of the medical profession to dis
close in public court strictly private
matters, impaired 10 them as such, or to
submit to harsh and arbitrary measures.
They, therefore, ask for the passage of a law
providing THAT no person duly authorized
to practice physic or surgery shall DE al
lowed or compelled to disclose any informa-
ton which he may have acquired in attend
ing any patient In his professional character,
and which information was necessary to en-
able him to prescribe for such patient as a
physician, or 10 do any act for him as a sur
geon."
1--WE are asking for nothing more than is
now granted TO the legal profession" re-
marked an MD, land a concession already
made by New FORK and many of the western
states"
Special effort is to be made to obtain the
support of every NJ. d. in Pennsylvania. A
move viii also be made in the direction OF
inducing the professional advisers of every
senator and representative in the two houses
to approach" the patient on the subject.

German Socialism.

The true parallel to German socialism, &C.
cording to the Saturday Review is not found
in French communism, but in Russian nihil-
ism. German socialists do not picture TO
themselves a new state of society, new
state of religious feeling, new Germany,
but only dream of a listless, ghostlike ideal
in which there would be no society, no
religion, no Germany. Probably the reason
why nihilism and German socialism appear
to Englishmen and Americans so completely
beyond the bounds even of imagination, is
that they have for centuries been accus-
toned to the thought that, If they wanted
anything very much, they would probably
get tia notion which mas also been inn
planted in even the widest Frenchmen BY
Tecollections of their great revolution. They
do not know the feeling of being under an
unalterable and unassailable system The
socialists and the nihiiists are like boys at q
strict school. Not to he at the school is the
one ideal of their fancy. With these victims
of dreaming discomfort IL is obvious that
other boys, who, if they disliked the school,
would. set themselves TO lick an usher or to
get their parents to interfere, can have little
sympathy.

LILIES
An estate valued at 81, 100000 was left by
Mrs. Helen Blake, who died in London in
1876 She was the widow of General Robert
Blake, the last lineal descendant of Lord
Admiral Blake, the compatriot of Cromwell
Mrs. Blake willed her entire wealth to va
nous charitable Institutions, but through an
infoTmality the will was declared void.
Furthermore, it was not in her power to be-
queath her real estate, as it was entailed and
descended to the next member of the Blake
family. Six other estates in England, form
erly held by the Blakes, and amounting
with the other to about 50 600, 600 in value
are also awaiting legal owners. Last October
John A. Blake, commission merchant of
Nine zenith and Market streets, saw an adver-
tisement asking information about the Blake
family, members Of which came TO America.
Himself and Robert Blake, of Cheltenham
township, Montgomery county, upon tracing
up were found to belong to two branches of
the family. "A meeting was held few days
ago at Robert Bake's house, at OgOnIz, to
arrange for establishing their claim. Forty
nine members of the family were present
Some live in Maryland. Both have contrib
uted money for expenses and John A. Blake,
who is in correspondence with the lawyer
Robert Gum, of LOndon-who has the mat
ter in charge, will go TO England shortly 10
look into their claims.

Three Glasses of Prisoners.

Professor Tyndail, in his lecture on the
Science of Man." says: Il met, some years
ago, the governor of one of our largest pris-
ons IN Great Britain, who was an observ-
ant, reflective man, possessed of wide
experience gathered in various parts of the
world He told me that the prisoners in his
charge might be divided into three distinct
classes. The first class consisted of persons
who ought never to have been in prison.
External accident, aud not internal faint
had brought them within the grasp Of the
law, and what had happened to them might
have happened to most of us. They were
essentially men of moral stamina, though
wearing the prison garb. Then came the
largest class, formed Of individuals possess
ing no strong bias, moral or immoral, plastic
10 the touch of circumstances which could
mold them into either good or evil members
OF society. Thirdly came class-happily
not = large one-whom no kindness could
cOnciliate and disci pine tame. They
we're sent into this world labeled incorrigi-
bic wickedness being stamped as ii were
upon their organizations. He said the state
would benefit if the first class were liberated,
the second class educated, and the third
class put completely under water or confined
on some desert island, where the deadly
cOntagion of their example could not faint
the moral air"

having accepted a call 10 the Central Meth
odist church, where he viii preach his first
sermon Sunday after next. If one might
judge from remark made in his lecture Of
last night, on The Far East" Pa-son New
mar is not altogether satisfied with the ways
of Washington. After a glowing descrlp-
ton of the valley of the Euphrates and the
attractions it presented for commercial inter-
course, he said: "If the men we sent TO
Washington were only wise-and / wish to
heaven they were they might increase our
revenue by S100000000 yearly. But the
trouble is, congress doesn't know the differ
ence between foreign commerce and home
agriculture" At the close of his lecture
PArson Newman informed a Sun reporter
that as soon as he took up his quarters IN this
city he would subscribe for the Sun, which
shines for all.

Some few weeks ago, for what reason no
one seems to know, Mrs. Morse yielded to
Tilton's desire 10 an extent, and brought
about a meeting between her daughter and
of a meeting is all that is khown, save that
then and there Mrs. Tilton told Mr.. Tilton
distinctly that she would never live with
him again. There were no lawyers, no
friends, no children made parties to the
consultation, and all the reported going
and coming OF this, that and the other child
is simple fabrication. When62he parties
separated it was distinctly understood that
the children were-all OF them---common
property and subject to acommon discipline,
free to be called by one or the other, as
seemed best for them. And such has been
the constant habit.

about dead when the latter came into Office
AS to the south, there never was a republic
can party there. 1t was true several states
had been carried by carpet bagg9rs with the
use of the bayonet and returning boards,
but that sort of thing was played
out. The whole people were sick OF
it. Mr.. Hayes had cleared away this feat
ure of the republican party's policy, and by
doing so had recalled thousands OF republic
cans who were about to go into the demo-
cratic party disguised with the sham republic
can party in the south. BY doing so Mr.
Hayes had also removed the last defence
of the southern democrats for bad conduct
on their part either toward the colOred man
or in pressingrebel claims; so thatif they con-
tinued in their evil ways the republican party
would have q better campaign platform than
heretofore. Foster also said that the one
year of Hayes was better administration
than the government had bad for twenty
years 1t had been more honest, economical,
and possessed OF greatest ability IN its ad-
ministratlOn officers. 1t bad no scoundrels;
there were no RObesOns. Belknaps, SawyeTS
Richardson's and Babcocks, and Foster named
a number more connected with Mr.. Hayes.
This statement was offensive to some Of
those present, but did not bring out much
OF q response. except that nearly all present
began condemning Secretary Schurz. Hale
made speech, and surprised many present
by indorsing what Foster said about the
southern policy. Several other speeches
were made. Waite, of Connecticut, and
Phillips, of Kansas, were rather kindly dis
posed toward the administration.
A Joint caucus of republicans OF the house
and senate is to be held Tuesday night to
further consider these questions.
There are three classes of republicans
first and largest, those who believe in
making q campaign on the old platforms
and ignoring the president; second, those
who want to war on the president; third,
those who want to indorse him.

why Did Hayes Appoint Hsma


Why did Hayes appoint Mr. Bayard Tay-
lor. the poet, minister to Germany?
Because he is a large and handsome man?
No; there are a great many men in the
country who are fully as tall and just as
handsome.
Because be has written ten volumes of
poetry and score or more OF books OF
travel? No; there are lots of poets and
travellers, and though a man may be able 70
write very fair poems, he yet may fail as
diplomat.
In order to please Jay Gould? No; because
If he had wished to do that he would have
relieved Gould of his young editor who was
longing to 60 abroad in diplomatic capac-
ity.
In order to carry out the civil service re.
form in obedience to which he sent his old
friend Noyes to Paris, and his chum Comfy
TO the Sandwich Islands? No; Mr.. Tsylor's
health is good, and he has seen many for
eign countries. He has travelled from pole
to pole, and paid his own modest bills.
TIE people OF the United states didn't give
him cent during those years, he strapped
his knapsack 70 his back and took his views
OF Europe afOOt.
We diYuIge no secret when we say that
the original intention Of Hayes was to APP
point Colonel Bob Ingersoll, the infdel as
minister to Germany. The colonel is an
extremely agreeable man, and his loose re-
llgious opinions would not have disturbed
Prince Bismarck, who is himself a good deal
of q skeptic. But Hayes was afraid TO send
him to Berlin. The religious public would
find fault, for we ought TO have an orthodox
minister at that infidel capital
Mr. Bayard Taylor, as his friends know, has
fine bass voice and very accurate ear for
music. At the Sunday evening concerts at
the white house the singers have trouble to
catch the tune. Mr.. SchuIz plays it proper
ly on the piano, but Mr.. Evarts and General
Devens. Colonel Bob Ingersoll and the fraud
ulent Wheeler sing with little regard to the
music or to each other. The result is inhar-
mony, and that is something very displeas-
ing to Hayes.
When, therefore, brother Taylor joined the
fraudulent circle, his fine musical ear was
highly appreciated by the whole company.
He always struck the note, and "Old Hun
bred" rolled out III his full bass tones like
the swell of an organ. Mr.. SchGrz at the
piano was full of admiration, and Mr.. Eyarts,
who sings through his nose, yet pretty well
for 50 thin man, glanced with pride at the
poet, who had saved the tune by his unex-
pected talent. Hymn after hymn was sung,
aud always the bass of Mr.. Taylor led the
fraudulent choir. When he was one OF the
company the tune was never missed at the
white house.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that the
Hon. Bayard Taylor mas been appointed by
Hayes to be minister 10 Germany, instead OF
Bob Ingersoll, who is poor singer.
