LET JUSTICE BE DoNE.-The Philadelphia In
quirer is perfectly right saying 'sOme people find
it in their hearts to pity the half dozen great de-
faulters who have recently at New York been
transferred from their palaces to the penitentiary
at the grim mandate of justice, but just such
verify is requisite, not only in that city, but
throughout the country, if we hope to survive as
nation the deluge of corruption that afiicts our
land. Since the panic of 1873 no less than three
hundred and fifty persons holding fduciary posi-
tions have stolen from their wards and conidants,
or from banks, saving funds, corporation treasu-
ries and other money repositories, thirty million
of dollars. OF this army of thieves two hundred
were satisfied with from $1,000 to $4,000 each
fifty others took from $4,000 to 100000 apiece /;
thirty odd are charged with the theft of between
100000 and 100000 and twenty five embez-
cling each larger amounts, some ranging as high
81 900, 900. In half of these cases only about
one-fOurth of the sums Incorporated will be
recovered, and in the others a larger proportion
will be obtained only through protracted Iitiga-
ton. 1t is but fair, therefore, that these official
robbers should pay personal primitive penalty
for their offences, both in atOnement for wrong
doing, as well as to suppress this kind of hievery
and its cognate corruption in future"
We pity no such rascals however high may have
been their previous standing. The time has come
when men like these must be made examples of.
Their wiekedness cannot escape punishment
They have sinned against light and knowledge
and are deserving of no commiseration. They are
ten-fold worse by imposing upon confidence.

Jealous Young Preacher Thought He
Had One, But It Was Nipped in the
Bud.
The Wesleyan Methodist church in Can
ada once might have had sort of Beecher
scandal, but it didn't. A venerable clergy
man was riding to the district conference, in
the eastern townships, Somewhere near Stan
stead, his companion in the buggy being a
young, Jealous and indiscreet minister,
not being stationed in that part of the
country. As they logged past little cross
road tavern, the old gentleman indicated

many day I've been at that tavern years
ago." eyes," said his companion, with in
difference. eyes, and a mighty handsome
wife the tavern keeper had too.'' "Ahr'
said the young brother, with surprise.
"Yes," continued the elder, s:she was one of
the handsomest women / ever saw; young,
pretty, plump, fine color, and such arms
Many and many a kiss have I
given her when we were sitting in big
haircloth chair in the little private sitting
room off the bar. Well, we'll, time fies''-
and the good old man gazed at his compan-
ion, whose eyes were as large as soup plates,
then blushing deep beef-red, he said with
some confusion: "Bless me, what have
been saying? OF course brother you will
not breathe word of this; cannot imagine
how came to say anything about it, but
then the tongue is," etc. The young clergy
man gave the required pledge and re-
peated it, when at the end of their drive the
old man besought him earnestly to remem-
Der and not breathe a word of the matter
But during the afternoon the young minister
rose, and, declaring that his conscience would
not longer allow him to bear the burden he
had imposed upon it, and that he must tell
the truth, no matter how terrible the conse-
quences, Informed the astonished brethren
that Brother had that day
admitted that he had been guilty of improper
and unchristian conduct toward married
woman-nay, more, had recited his sin with
an uction that showed that it never had been
sincerely repented of. 1t is needless to say
that everybody first stared at the speaker
and then at the accused minister, who, for a
hundred miles around, had won an enviable
reputation for uprightness and purity. The
accused buried his face in his hands,
and the chairman desired the young brother
to repeat his startling accusation with de-
tails. The young clergyman did SO, and
when he announced that the other member
of the "guilty pair was a woman whose
name he did not know, but whose husband
kept tavern at - Corners, was electri-
fed to hear the chairman bawl, "Ha

conference go off ia paroxyms of
laughter. "Can you-is it possible that you
can smile at such revelation?' said the
dumbfounded young minister. and, as soon
as the chairman had sufficiently mastered
his emotion to speak, he said: "My dear
verified and entered the ministry he kept

lister was no less jealous and infinitely more

1adu Teachers and serrant atrls.

The editor of the Gasette, OF Sterling, H.,
has become interested in the school cues
ton, and among other items to which he has
gwen attention is the salary of the lady
teachers, and how far it will go in contrast
with the pay that servant girls receive. In
that city the average salary of the lady
teachers is about $40 per month, which for
the year of nine months amounts to $3.50.
Their average expenses are: Washing for
forty weeks at ST. week, $40; fifty-two
weeks board at $3.50 a week, 1924; clothes,
300: incidentals, $20;-total, $394,-a loss
of 1884 year. The servant girl receives
80 a week, or for the year S1O4. She pays
nothing for board or washing;'
her clothes need cost not more
than $50, and her incidental ex-
penses not more than S1O-leaying balance
OF $44 in her favor, and, as compared with
her seemingly more favored sister, of 1873.
Even if the teacher so desired, she could not
find the time to do her own washing and
sewing during the school-ye She must
dress we'll to retain her situation, and, if she
intends to be well-informed and properly
qualified for the work she has undertaken,
must spend money for books, and take time
to read them. On the other hand, the SER
vantrgirl requires only strong arm with
which to do her work. and willing heart to
please her mistress. Yet there are young
women who would rather teach school at a
loss of money than to do kitchenwork at a
considerable profit. No housework is dis.
honorable, and, though many people are 3
long time in finding it out, yet few live to
old age but realize it to be true.

Morphia, as most people know is one of
the principal constituents of opium, and acts
on the body in very much the same way. 1t
is used for sleeplessness and for the relief of
sufficient for our object. What boon these
drugs have been on humanity, only those who
have been racked with pain, and troubled with
sleepless, weary nights, can tell. 1t was found
however, that both morphia and opium had
had most vicious effect on the stomach and
intestinal canal, so that their use could not
long be presevered in without evil consequent
ces to the general system. No other known
drug efficient powerful in the effect
ions for which those were employed and
therefore the medical profession had to cast
about for another method Of administration,
which would mitigate, if not altogether do
away WITH their evil effects. 1t is now good
many years since DR.. Alexander Wood of
Edinburgh, suggested the of morphia by
means of simultaneous injection; method by
which the action of the drug is rendered
quicker and more certain it's bad effects-when
to be used for short time-fewer, and much
smaller dose is required. The mechanical
actions of morphia the alimentary canal
were, to a certain extent, got rid Of con-
siderable time elapsed before the practice
became anything like general. for the pro-
fession looked askance at dangerous
method of using powerful drug. OF late
years, however, the administration of morphia
by means of injection beneath the skin has
spread very widely. No doubt, used in
this way, norphia is truly marvellous in its
effects, and has proved a real godsend to both
medical men and their patients. The pro-
fession carried away by the wonderful
power they had got hold of, and as they them
selves confess, did not always use it with the
discrimination and forethought that was nee
| al sub
and alluring drug. 1t is little to be
wondered at, in these days of
universal knowledge, that patients in time
wormed themselves into the secret, and did
their best to spread the fame of the mode of
exhibition among their friends and fellow
sufferers. SO far little harm might have been
done; but in an evil day medical men lent their
patients the power of relieving their own
sufferings, real or imaginary. As conse-
EquencesmorpAia injections are now used by
many private persons for other reasons than
the relief of pain and the banishing of wake
fulness, Indeed, we have reason to believe
that among certain classes of society it is
becoming too commonly abused, and bids fair
soon to grow into very general vice.

REVOLUTIONS IN PERU.


What Immediately Succeeded the Election
of.Senor Pardo as President,
Senior Don Manuel Pardo, president of the
Senate and ex-president of Peru, who WAS
murdered on the 10th of November, although
young man, had attained distinction in
his own country, as well as throughout
Spanish America. He took possession of the
ex ecutive chair on Aug 2, 1872.
Senior Gutierrez, who was secretary of war
at the close of the term of Office of Senior Par
dos predecessor, Col. Baita, conceived the
idea, in order to defeat the election of Pardo,
of tampering with his chief, and endeavoring
to draw him into proclaiming himself a die
tator. Col Baita, however, refused to partic,
pate In the plot, upon ascertaining that the
president-elect. Senior Pardo, had a majority
of the Senate and House of Representatives.
Gutierrez thereupon revolutionized the army
at the capital, made a prisoner of his chief,
combining him in cell, declared the city in a
state of seige, and proclaimed himself dictator.
The senators and representatives scattered in
all directions some taking refuge in the
foreign legations, and others flying to the
men-of-war in the harbor of Callao.
The navy refused to recognize Gutierrez,
and put to sea; the foreign Representatives.
withheld their recognition, and the infiuen-
tial citizens rejected every overture to
become part of the revolutionary govern
ment. The people at first almost parayzed, re-
awaited leader to overrun the power of the
usurper. One was found in Col. Zevallos, and
the bloody drama ushered in by the murder
in the streets of Callao of brother of Cutter
rez, who acted his secretary of war. The dicta-
tor responded to this by killing President Bal
TIA.
When this became known, before the day
was ended, the palace and barracks were at
tackled by the people. The dictator and an
other brother, who was in hi suite, were cap
tured, and both were hanged to lamp-posts
President Pardo was called upon to enter
upon his presidential duties, close upon this
reign of terror, the exponent of the popular
will asserting itself over the military cliquet
that predominated in the country. The policy
of his administration was extremely liberia
and progressive. He proposed and advocated
a reform of the electoral laws, reduction Of
the army and navy, and system of popular
education. He also favored the discentraliza
ton of the municipal governments and theil
independence, and commended for revenue laws
to foster the commerce and industry of his
country. He continued all the public works
that were begun by his predecessor, and start
ed several new ones that in time will shec
honor upon his memory.
After vacating the presidential chair Senior
Pardo for time was under the ban, suspected
of actively opposing the government of Gen
Prado. He was compelled to emigrate to Chill
and had returned to fill the office of president
of the senate at the time of his death.

A New Issue Raised,

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. 24.-In the United
States court yesterday several parties arrested
under indictments of the late United States
grand jury were on trial. The first case was
b. L. Moore, of Dallas county His counsel
presented plea that the Indictment was void,
because some of the jury finding indictments
had been in the confederate army and under
section 800 of the revised statutes were not
competent jurors. They cited the decision of
Judge Woods OF this circuit in Louisiana and
recently in Florida. Judge Bruce of the dis
trict court decided that the plea was not good,
that the section, although in the statutes, had
been repealed The law did not revise the re-
pealed section. The cases were all postponed
till Thursday.
