Mr.. EDITOR: One Of your adolescent cor
respondents who acts as the igurehead OF your
Goblevie Locals. seems to exult in most
transcendsnt al liberty Of absonous sesquipe-
dalian verbality. Whether his semblanse OF
crudition is assumed to conceal bis illiteracy
or on the hypothesis, an individuate con-
comitant to persapient scholarship l cannot
affirm. But IN either case his concatenaton OF
ambiloquious expletlves is so anomalous as TO
be totally incompatible with either legitimate
rativcination or purliencent intellection. But
lest might dsfstgate your patience by what
might eventuate in sbortive tentamina a.
amending his orthography and style, and thus
seem Cthough rather IS farther from my inten-
tion) to ozhone1ate his exuberant redundancy.
This peripatetic biped would make your At
iantis correspondent q follower OF bipocrites'
with very little regard for veracity. Now. Mr..
Editor, commend you by your zeal for hters-
ture. and comm:serstlon for your readers, and
correspondents in the future 10 exert your
laboratory mandatory, and corrigendive pre-
rogatye. and thus interdict him from any
future calculations of bis involuntary OF
thographlc animadvertions that might have a
tendency in the ultimate to create in your in
tellgent readers a potent dysorexy for At.
lantis locals. and also to depreciate the meri,
OF your col respondent to his lschrymal De
spondency. Yours very truly,

THE GIRL WHO IrT.,.s.

The time has passed whom woman must be
pale and delicate. to be interesting; when she
must be totally ignoran; of all practical knowl-
efge to be called refined and high bred; when
che must know nothing of the current DO 'iticai
news OF the day, or be called masculine and
strong minded. 1t is not sign OF high birth,
OF refinement, to bo sickly and ignorant Those
who affec; anything of the kind are behind tho
times, and must shake and air themselves
mentally and physically, or droop under the
firm strides of common sense ideas. and be
crushed INTO utter insignlficance.
In these days, an active, rosy-faced girl, with
brains quick and clear, warm, light heart, a
temper quickly heated at intended insults or
injury and just as quick to forgive; whose
feet run as fast as her tongue, and not put her
out Of breath; who is not afraid OF freckles, or
TO breathe the pure air OF heaven, unrestraIn-
ed by the drawn curtains OF close carriage
and above all, who can speak her mind aud
give her option on important topics which
interest intelligent people, is the true girl who
wins in these days. Even tops like woman
who can talk well, though she s not hand
some.

that larger propoton OF Inventions patented
by women prove useful and profitable than

Symptoms of a DiseasedLiver

DAM in the right side, under the
1 edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top Of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss OF appe-
tite and sickness the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part There is
generally considerable loss of mem
ory. accompanied with painful SEN
sation OF having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
4 slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton Of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that eXer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up iortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them eX-
listed. vet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

Sion This LCnk.

More than fifty bills were introduced in
the House yesterday, and just ono bill was
disposed Of They were all sorts Of propo-
sitions for pensions improvements, changes
in patent laws, the payment Of claims, and
the substituting Of railroads. This swells the
number Of House bills TO 5,9ll, and Of Senate
and House bills together to more than 1900.
Just six weeks remain in which to dispose
OF them.
1t is a proper timc TO say that a heavy
hand must be laid upon the ncver-ending
extravaganza Of public printing by Congress.
Astonishing as it has been heretofore, there
seems to be determination on the part OF
both Houses TO increase the number of re-
ports and volumes publishcdat Government
expense. For example, on Friday last
Congress ordercd that fifteen thousand
volumes Of Mr.. BAIRDs Fish Commission
report be published; that five thousand adj
ditional books of the narrative of HALLS
second Arctic voyage be made; that eight
thousand copies Of the euloges pronounced
over the remains Of the late Congressman
LEONARD be printed and bound; and then
resolution was introduced for the printing
OF a thousand copies Of the story Of the
Polaris's voyage. Some such work has been
ordered on almost every day OF the session.
The publication Of these reports and mar
ratives, at the peoples expense, should be
deferred at least until the national debt is
paid OF, and the country is in state Of
prosperity and the Treasury is overlooking
After the books have been printed and
bound. few copies will be sent by Congress-
men to constituents who have no use for
them; but far the greater part Of them will
find their way to the shop Of the waste paper
purchaser. The results Of HALLS expedi-
ton and Of the Polors's voyage We're cor
tainly not Of such Importance TO the inter-
ests Of the country as to warrant the expense
that has been incurred for them, and though
five members OF the House have died within
year, 1t is no reason why the people should
be taxed to pay for the publication Of forty
thousand volumes containing the orations
and the prayers over their remains.

The neviIiries nj Princeton.

There was famous religious revival at
Princeton College n short while ago; and
many people suppose that the time Of the
students there is fully taken up with their
classical, athletic, and pious exercises. But
neither religion nor study, nor yet gymnas-
tic practice is sufficient to give vent to the
spirit Of the students, or to keep them out
OF disgraccful mischief.
On Saturday night last the authorities OF
Trenton wcro compelled to arrest twenty
four Of these Princeton College students,
who were making tho streets echo with
drunken shouts, who were insulting women.
and conducting themselves, according to all
reports in a most disRraccful manner I'm
der guiso OF going sloghriding, these young
men had gone on spree. They seemed To
think that because they were students they
might act as they pleased, regardless OF pro-
pricty or of law. But the citizens Of Trenton
who had been annoyed by thcm on other
Saturday nights, decided to do something
TO put an end to thoir capers. SO tho entire
party was locked up, and it began to look as
though tho night must DO passed In the
coils. But after midnight Police Justice
released them. with a warming, on the pay
mont of a small fine.
They had succeeded however, in Illus
trating the bad reputation Princeton has
won within recent years. few months
ago, IN hazing row, one student was shot
by another. Soon aftcrward n student was
bound, gagged, stripped Of his clothing,
and beaten with paddle. Almost an entire
class was suspended from college duties for
a few days, but the offenders were not more
seriously punished. Nobody was sent To
Jail, as must have been tho case had mob
of young fellows outside of the college do
meaned themselves in such n riotous fashion.
One reason for this college rulianism is
that tho youths are encouraged in it. At
every meeting Of college alumni silver
haired graduates recount with CLEO the
hazing and Misunderstanding scrapes OF
other days, and their speeches are greeted
with shouts OF approval. The boy, while
fitting for college. is warned that no
must be prepared to protect himself from
The attacks of the terrible sophomore, and
he goes to college with the impression that
there he may do with impuuity what would
not be tolerated anywhere else. One would
think that tho influence of college culture
might do something toward rcpressing these
college dcviltrics. But as IL does not,
plainly the law will have TO be invoked.

Law Violated at West Point.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-!Sn: Chap

A Pnssihle nisnster.

Along Amity street the trains Of the
Metropolitan Elevated Railroad usually
run at good rate Of speed At about A
o'clock yesterday afternoon n crowded up
town train had nearly reached tho curve
which rounds into the Sixth avenue, when
the engineer found that the patent brake
on which no had relied TO check the
train would not respond. 1t was out
OF order, and he whistled for the hand
brakes. Before these could DC applied. how
ever, the train had rounded the curve with
scarcely any dlminution Of its momentum.
For an instant the alarm and anxiety were
intense, but the train passed the curve in
safety and without further accident.
II disaster should occur on one Of the
elevated railroads, scarcely a single person
in the train could escape unframed. The
possibilities Of misfortune on structures 30
novel and worked with such peculiar ma
chinery, are almost infinite. As yet no such
calamity has occurred; but perfect safety
can only be maintained by the use OF fore
sight and vigilance almost superhuman.

C.IDMUs's MrSrERIOUs DEATH
Financial EmbarrasSments that II IL Thought
May have UnsetiIed his Reason.

II has been asccrtained that William J.
Cadmus OF Bayonnc. y. j.. whose body was
found on the beach ut Communipaw on Satur-
day afternoon. and who was estimated to ba
worth about 100000. was seriously cmbar-
raised financially. and that to carry his real
estate he WIS compelled to borrow considerable
money. Among those who had accommodated
him with loans were tho Ellsworth brothers.
The Ellsworths held n note made by him for
$500. which he had failed to pay Mt maturity.
The object Of Mr. Cndmus's visit 10 their oyster
scow at the foot Of Tenth street. ON Friday after
noon. wis to apologies for neglecting to Ia Ike up
his paper. He was morose and detected. and
spoke reluctantly of his affairs. After hc found
that his creditors were disposed 10 be l"nient,
he requested them TO lend him 81 900 TO pay on
n first mortgage on property on winch lie held
second mortgage for $1,000 that had long been
In default of interest. An arrangement was made
for tho Ellsworihs to let him have tue money.
At 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon he Quilted
the scow. with the understanding that he
should return on the following day To finish this
transaction. Mr.. Winfield Stringham tho pro-
prietOr OF a hotel at Bergen Point, Is positive
that he snw Mr.. Cadnius in the Liberty street
ferry house at 54 o'clock on that afternoon.
and that fifteen minutes later he saw him alight
from the train in Communipaw.
Some time ago Mr.. Cadmus had note dis
counted at the Hudson County National Bank.
and when Il became due obtained IN extension
of two months. On Friday last this time cx-
pred. II Is known That THIS indebtedness was
n source Of much ahNiyty To Mr.. Cadnius.
These facts induce his friends to believe that
his troubles 50 affected him as to disturb his
reason. and that while suffering from tempO-
rary alteration OF mind he wandered 60 tina
place where his body was found. and fell into
the water. Tho fact that no footprints were
visible leading 10 the log on which his body WAS
found. they account for by the drifting OF tina
snow. or by tho supposition that he fell from
the pier ut the foot of Commuuipaw avenue on
which there were several tracks.
