WE have observed 1t stated IN several
of our exchanges that MIR. ATKINSON,
editor of the Standard, contemplstes for
sskirg the tripod tor the pulpit. We
do not believe it. Sometime ago he said,
editorislly in his paper, that the REGIS
TER failed to commend Gov. MATHEWS
appointment OF Messrs. CAMDEN and
DELAPLAIN as Commissioners to Paris
because one or both'of these gentlemen
had failed to endorse for US. We prompt
ly challenged the editor to prove the truth
of his assertion, or stand convicted OF
fslsehood. He accepted the latter alter
native Last evening this same editor
gave editorial prominence to another
base inuendo in regard to the REGISTER.
In the first place, it is none Of his bust
ness where we procured the money with
which we paid an unjust Judgment and
it would be base ana malignant in him
to print what he did, even were it true.
But liars have no proper place il pull
pit.

TIE Bard of Avon speaks Of the
other world as Gland from whose bourne
no traveller returns" 1t is evident that
ne did not intend this remark to refer to
this enlightened age Of telephones and
Photographs, Presidential fraud and
Fenian invasions, for we beg leave to re-
mark that several prominent New York
papers have distinctly proven that trav-
elers do return from that "unexplored
land" just as they would return from
Africa, or New Jersey, or any other ter
restial locality.
These papers say that General O'NEIL,
the famous Fenisn, is in the Red River
country with 10000 men fully armed and
equipped and ready for raid on Canada
New as the General died more than a
year ago, he must have come back from
the land where SHAKESPEARE says they
don't Issue return passes, or the papers
would lie when they say he is up the Red
river.

NOT A QUESTION OF REoPENING THE
PRESIDENTIAL TITLE.

But Mr.. Potter bases his demand for
81 investigation into these matters upon
the necessity of vindicating 1.-The honor
of the nation" which certainly ought
not to be made party question. Who
can deny that the honor of the nation is
impugned when the Chairman OF the
Board of State Canvsssers of one SOW
ereign State declares that the board WAS
induced to make Ease and fraudulent re-
turns" in 3 Presidential election BY 1.-THE
conduct and promises" of q Republican
leader who now fills the post OF Minister
to France? Who can deny that the
honor of the nation is impugned
when Republican Senator from
New York declares that he knows of such
collision on the part OF the Republican
leaders with fraud in Louisiana as should
"sink the President and the Administrs-
tion IN intsmy2' There is no question
here of reOpening the Presidential title;
and the issue before the country must
not be clouded by confusing it with q
reopening of the Presidential title. II
Mr.. Hayes, Mr.. Wheeler, Mr.. Tilden
and MT hendricks were all Qeal at THIS
moment, the confessions of McLIn and
the declarations of Senator Conkling
would still make it urgent upon the PEG
pie of this country to ascertain the exact
truth in regard to those confessions and
those declarations. Perhaps it will
tend TO clarity matters if
people will assume the quad
ripple calamity we have suggested to have
happened, and cor slider the action OF Mr..
Potter now as they would consider it
then.
Everybody who does this will pretty
surely admit that the recurrence of such
confessions and declarations is a thing to
be prevented if the institutions of the
country are to be preserved. And how

Rcpresstng DRAMATIC Iasttncts

From the Chicago Inter-0cean.l
1t is a curious fact that many
clergymen who fully understand
and appreciate the influence of dra.
matte force in expression align
themselves with the most rigorous
enemies Of dramatic taste and cult
walton. A clergyman who is con-
scious that one Of the talents used
in making his sermons effective, is
inspired, guided and perfected by
his dramatic instincts, will con-
denim, without hearing, the finest
dramatic presentations of the day,
and throw all his influence with
those who would crush out or re-
press all love for the drama and all
manifestations Of the dramatic
spirit. That such men fail in &C.
complishing their ends is but
natural; that their failure teaches
them no lesson either as to human
nature or their common duty in the
premises is certainly not compli-
mentary to their judgment or their
culture.
No fact is better established than
that in nearly all fine natures there
arc dramatic instincts and longings.
These find places in child nature,
Just as does love of music or love Of
pictures. Efforts to repress more
often result in abnormal develop.
ment than in crushing out instincts
or aspirations. Even the most
rigorous tacltly accept this view
when they make concessions in the
shape of eharadeE, tableaux and
school exhibitions, The eagerneeS
with which these opportunities are
seized, even by young ladies and
gentlemen, is evidence of how
strong the love is for anything in
the nature of the drama, and the
license given at oharRde and tab
leau entertainments often shows
the evils of a dangerous system of
repression,
a boy who loves bookS, or pic.
lures, or music meets with encour-
agement, His taste is taken in
hand, directed, cultivated; his
mind broadened and his vision en-
largsd, Because there are bad pic
lures, unwholesome books and
music of questionable character, no
one says he must eschew books, not
look at pictures and ignore music.
In cultiyatlng his taste and broad
euing his mind We give him a judg-
ment so tempered that it rejects the

The English Radicals who used

also," answered Mr.. Edison. "You
know a man can never Judge of
the value of his own words or ex-
actly how to deliver them by hear
ing his own voice. Now, if law
yer speaks an address to the phono-
graph in the way he thinks it should
be rendered, and then has the in
strument repeat it, he can estimate
very fairly what the effect would be
on court and jury. Again, there
are many men who can talk better
than they can write. They can,
therefore, talk to the phonograph
without the hindrance necessarily
caused by using pen; they can
stop when they please and wait for
ideas, and then they can let some
one else copy the production as the
phonograph repeats it. You see,
this opens up a vast field, and one
suggestion follows another. Now" "
continued Mr.. Edison, with another
of his happy laughs, Z" the lover,
while waiting for his sweetheart to

"About one hundred dollars.
The instrument will be finished in

"But how about the aerophone?"
asked the reporter.
ooh, | haven't got time to at
tend to that" replied Mr.. Edison,
"Pm so busy with the photograph.
The aerophone is very simple. 1t
isn't a calliope, which requires a
keyboard and different notes. II
has only one note, and the yibrd-
tions of that are formed into words
by the escape Of steam."

it was something more. The re

MISCELLANY.

EDUCATION OF THE HoRsE.-It is remarka-
BILE that in country like America, where the
services of the horse are in so much demand
both for labor and pleasure, SO little should
be known or attained toward his thorough ed
ucat ion. That the horse is susceptible of a
high degree of training and culture, is evil
denced, not only by the astonishing feats he
performs within the arena of the circus, but
also the great ease with which he can be made
to modify his natural habits and instincts to
meet the varied requirements of his occupa-
ton and surroundings.
The wild horse of the barren steppes of
Russian Tartary, becomes, under the careful
and persistent tutorage of tie warlike Cos
sack, the wonderfully active intrepid and re-
nowned irregular cavalry of the DON The
great endurance of the Arab horse under pri-
walton and fatigue, is due, not SO much to any
popularity Of constitution as to the system of
training adopted to develop these characters
tics. So with the Toorky, and semi-Arab
blooded horse, used by the Silks and At
ghans of central Asia-trained with special
view to swimming, their riders are enabled to
plunge fearlessly into the rapid rivers of that
country, confident that their steeds will carry
them in safety to the opposite bank.
