Home Influence.

Few can withstand the influence Of
home. That is why it should be the
youths idea of purity; his father just
and honorable, his mother an angel, and
his sisters divinities. The woman that
man brought up among ladies chooses
for his wife is sure to be a lady. She
may be humble, even, but she will be
refined. He has had his model always
before him, and they have fashioneahis
taste instinctively. In fact, his whole
co.duct through life toward men and
women will be better fora retinedhome.
1t is fact that all parents ought to rea.
lie, that to provide happy, contented
and cheerful home is as much part Of
their duty to their children as to edu-
cate them. If they are to learn that
there are many unhappy marriages in
the world, chickering's and discomfort,
the knowledge should not come from
the example of their own parents Ii
they are to hear profane and violent
language, it should not come from the
mouth of their father, and the lad
should not be initiated into the wiles OF
a coquette by the painted face or ex'
travagant dress of his own mother. How
can he be expected to choose good
wife when the conduct of his sisters
teaches him that women are shallow,
vain and conceited-th husband hunt
ing is the one idea of life-and that DO
ing ones duty is to do the best for ones
self in this world? 1t is because of such
training as this that so many mems
lives are failures.

THE GAZETTE has opinions and it ex-
presses them daily in tcrse and pointed
English. 1t is thoroughly Democratic in
ITS teachings and tendencies, but indcpend-
ent CT all corrupt rings, cliques or factious

change in the administration of the Gov

The Importance of such Il newspaper SIS
The GAZETTE in educating, organizing
and preparing the people for this contest
cannot be over-cstimated. The News,

daily journal in the country which con-
tains so many popular features furnished

1t has been announced that there Is nothing
General Grant would so much like as to be made
president Of big railway or canal company,
and another authority has 1t that this desire Is
likely to be gratiied by his being invited at an
early day to undertake the management Of
corporation of the kind. The consummation OF
this purpose would undoubtedly be viewed with
regret by large number of persons In spite
of a couple of conspicuous presidents to the
contrary, probably a majority of the American
people, without regard to political opinions, dis
like the idea OF gentleman who has once been
President of the United States entering again
into active political or business life. 1t is of
course rather question of taste than of prin-
ciple with them; but they hold to the view that
having once filled that exalted and responsible
position he ought to be both able and inclined to
spend the evening OF his life in dgnffied retire
ment. To this feeling, they claim, was largely
due popular acquiesence in the doubling of the
presidential salary some time ago. To men of
mpulsive nature and active business habits such
life might be rather dull and trying, but our
Presidents have not, as rule, been of that
type. 1t is therefore not regarded as I'M
reasonable to assume that gentlemen qualified
to discharge the duties of that high Office possess
Internal resources enough to enable them to
spend their remaining time pleasantly and
profitably in the companionship of books family
and society. 1t may be that General Grants
pecuniary means are not sufficient to afford this
without supplementing them by an income de-
rived from his own personal exertions, though
we rather incline to the opposite view. II, how
ever that be the fact, and it could be authorita-
lively made known, we believe the sense of the
country would be TO make up the requisite sum,
by popular subscriptions or an appropriation
from the treasury, rather than see him obliged
to go to work on salary, however liberal or
easily earned. But one would think that after
enjoying an annual income of $4,000 and
accompanying allowances for eight, or even for
four years, this expedient should not be neces-

Apropos of street-cars and their substitutes,
it Is not quite pleasant for a Washingtonian to
remember that he can go to Baltimore and back,
riding eighty miles by steam, and enjoying de-
cent drive through Druid Hill Park, abont as
easily and cheaply as he can enjoy drive
through the Soldiers Home here-unleSs he owns
a turnout. In Baltimore, an easy and clean
vehicle meets one as he alights from the street.
car at the park gate, and takes him over the
drives comfortably for three cents. 1t Is true he
does not have the seats all to himself, but he
goes decently, comfortably, and in way that
would be satisfactory to nine out of ten Of
the people who visit the Soldiers Home-or
who would visit 1t If they could Nine cents Is
the cost to BaltlmOrean, OF visit to
Druid Hill and carriage ride through 1t. A
similar carriage meets visitors at Prospect Park,
Brooklyn, and takes them all over it for quar-
ter. II decent street-car connection can be
established with this city, and arrangements can
be made with the officers OF the institution, a
profitable and pleasant business awaits the man
who will adopt the Baltimore vehicles in our
Home park. The people of Washington would
not insist Oh being carried for three cents. Sup
pose one lives on the line Of the Columbia road
in this city. He has street-carS all the way to
the Home, or to Whitney avenue, and it will
cost him thirty cents for car fare to go there
and back. And he will then be without any
means of seeing the place except his own legs
The same thirty cents would take t,ro people
instead OF one from almost any part
of Baltimore, not only to, but HrOHgh
Druid Hill in carriage and home again. Unless
suitable and cheap street connections can be
supplied to Whitney avenue, 1t might be best to
run the carriages into the city as well as
through the park. The ten or fifteen cents ad
dit1onal would be paid TO them more cheerfully
than TO the tramways. 1t Is true the Soldiers
Home is not nominally public park but it Is
so In fact. All properly-conducted people can
make themselves at home in 1t, with their own
carriages as freely as in any wellregulated pub
lie ground. There could, therefore, be no rea-
sonable objection to the adoption Of the Druid
Hill carriages Less harm would be done the
grounds than by the same number OF wander
FRS on foot. But what better occupation for some
OF the old soldiers there to kill time with than
to become the drivers ostlers, &C., OF the enter
prise? As the managers OF the Home now spend
much labor and money in making the park an
attraction in other respects. for which the peo-
pie OF the city sincerely thank them, let them
add nice, easy clean line OF carriages, like
those at Baltimore and Brooklyn, drawn by
well-kept horses, and attended to by the veter-
ans These aimleSs old fellows would thus put
many honest pennies In their pockets or the
treasury Of the institution, and do great dea
