The Disci pline of Drudsery.

A liberal education is a valuable thing
and the thousands OF young men who are
now honored with the title A. b. are
10 be congratulated upon the good for
tune that has permitted them to acquire
the mental discipline resulting from q
four years. course of academic ssudy,
But these young men must not make the
mis' ke supposing that this discipline
ls an l-suffic ent preparation for the
higher callings OF life ihat is, the young
men who propose to enter any OF the
branches OF pro tssional life, for Instance
must not lima; me that the fact of their
having )llege education will permit
them TO leap To the top rung OF the lad
der at once. The discipline they have ia
valuable, but chiefly so as basis for the
requirement of practical knowledge we
mean acquaIntance with tho minutiae or
little details which go to make up ali
occupations. Sub knowlf ige a college
education cannotseive and Is not Intend-
ed to give. 1. is only TO be acquire ! by
patient application. The discipline OF
the college curriculum must be snpple-
mented by another kind of discipline,
namely. the dIsctJ line OF drudgery. No
one, however largely endowed with men :

cessity Of acquiring this discipline, 1t IL

Important to water Drinkers.

1t is said that in New Haven about
FIVE hundred wells have been abandoned
because of their nearness to sinks and
cesspools. As New Haven people know
as much as any one else about the size
of dollar, and have also some unusual
sources Of information about the quality
OF their we'll water, 1t is not likely that
the wells were abandoned without cause.
As, however, houses, wells and sinks
are no nearer one another in New Haven
than Ia the majority of country villages,
the action of the people should have
some effect upon other communities that
get their drinking water from wells. The
quality Of we'll water that does not smell
bad Is something that country people,
even county physicians resolutely re-
fuse to think worthy Of attention. So
thousands of families are having their
health slowly and surely undermined,
slthough to build and supply large
clstern is not matter Of serious expense

Of George Washington and his little

said that the corntry 60 long known
as the Sahara Desert is in the main 80

about the aridity of the great tract Of

RECALL OF THE CHINESE STU-

official of high rank was sent here to
make q secret investigation Of the prc-
gress of the mission and report to his
government. When he arrived at
Hartford he was shocked to find that
the students, so far as outward ap-
pearances go, had abandoned the Gus
toms, habits and traditions of their
country. They had cut of their
queues. Instead of the high flowing
robes of the fashionable tailors OF Pc
kin they wore the latest styles Of New
York fashions that have penetrated
into the backward and benighted regions
of Hartford. The poor old gentleman
was naturally alarmed. Expecting to
find nice, aocile, submissive party ol

amazed at meeting number OF young

THE WATER WE DRINK.-We have
been indulging the idea that the water
we drink was, since the br nding OF the
Cool Spring Reservoir, the purest
that was furnished to any city on the
Atlantic coast. Eut in this opinion,
it appears, we have been in error, If
the report made to Commissioner John
G. French, of the Brooklyn kwater
works is correct. That report is made
by Professor Albert R. Leeds, of the
Stevens Institute of Technology. The
result of his analysis Of the water Of
several citi, 8 is as follows: Brooklyn,
purest Philadelphia, second ; Balti-
more, third Washington, fourth ;
New York (Croton), fifth ; Hoboken,
Jersey City and Newark, sixth Os-
wego, seventh Wilmington, DEL,
eighth Boston, (Cochituate), ninth.
Instead of being first Wilmington ia
eighth in the list, and that Of Boston,
which has been rated very high to the
surprise of all the Yankees is the last
in the list. We do not think the
Brandywine water has beon fairly
tested and shall not believe it is less
pure than that of the Schuylkill and
Croton, until other tests have been
made. In the mean time we hope that
every effort will be made to have the
water we drink made as pure as posi-.

The Neses should have availed itself
OF the opportunity to acknowledge its
error in circulating the false reports of
tho treatment OF patients in the hos
pital, and the manner in which the
disease has spread through the city.
Such false reports are discrsditable TO
any journal, and 1t is not surprising
that the physicians and persons in
charge Of the hospital should express
themselves as indignant at these slam

sAtfATH OF Ex-GovERNoR SAULs-
SuRY.-Dootor Cove Salisbury, ex-
Gotsrnor, died at his residence in
Dhfsf yesterday afternoon. He had
BssSs failing in health for several years;
SO much SO that all his friends noticed
it, aSd made it subject for frequent
cStShent; but his death was not ex-
pectsd to occur 80 early, and its an
nouEcsment yesterday evening was a
grsdt surprise in all parts of the State
iao~hich he had many strong friends
SR admirers.
DR.. Salisbury was learned and
ahae physician, popular with his
nelghbors and all classes of citizens,
WHp held him in high regard. He
pipgled much with the people and
wap always among the foremost in any
good work. He took an active part ia
pSlltics, and having very extended
RIsctioe at his profession, understood
vol the wants of the people, and
newer failed to do what laid in his
power to aid them in such laudable
efforts rs was suggested.
,j,sWhen elevated to the Senate Of bis
State by the votes Of his county, bis
selec ion for Speaker of that body
WAS soon determined in the minds Of
abe members; and his influence in the
Legislature was no doubt greater dur
.1Hg his occupancy of the Speakers
Ghair than any one who had preceded
him, or who has since presided over
the Senate. As legislator he proved
I'd be one of the ablest of our State
and he occupied the position of Speaker
Of the Senate during the most difficult
and trying periods the State has ex.
Perienced.
On the death of Governor William
Cannon, DIR. Salisbury, by virtue OF
being Speaker of the Senate, became
Governor of the State. As Governor
ne exerci.ed immense influence, and
bis administration was held to be one
yef the ablest that the State had
sknown, rendering him SO popular that
at the end OF the term he was nomi.
