& yicarioas punishment was recently re-
fused in an English court, not by the sub
.4stitute nor by the person for whom the
substitute was to suffer, but by the court.
An inn keeper of that civilized country
sold liquor without license. He evident
" disposed OF some to man who inform
ed the officials, as the latter had him ar
rested. The result of the legal inquiry
was that the unlicensed inn keeper was
fined $3.50 or imprisonment. The prisoner
selected the latter punishment, and stated
that he would procure man who would
serve his time. The man was secured who
agreed to suffer the proper time within the
dungeon cell for, and in consideration OF
two pounds. To the chagrin Of the de
PENDANT and his substitute the court re.
fused to sanction this arrangements of VI
carious punishment, which is recognized
In some oriental codes Of criminal proceed
ure. The defendant, it is said, paid the
fine, but retired feeling tlat he had been
defrauded of $3.50.
In this country the unlicensed inn keep
er would have transferred his stock to his
substitute SO as to make the latter really
liable, and then would have enjoyed the
full benefit of vicarious punishment.
If the culprit is political man, his pri
vate secretary suffers, while the real OF
fender goes Scott free.

The official vote for president at the late
election has just been made public. The
popular vote was, Garfield 4, 442. $50; Han
cock 4,442, 035, Garfeld's majority was
915.
This is the first instance of presidential
election in which, when the various states
were allowed to vote, the republican nomi-
nee ever received more votes than the
nominee of the democratic party. Even
at the last election, counting the scattering
votes for the prohibition and anti monopoly
candidates, and the vote for General Gar
field would fall below q majority and viii
merely become plurality.
L. As win be seen,i only requires Conklins
and GA followers to give the democratic
party a majority in the popular vote.
A party of such immense numbers, suf
ering defeat after defeat shows what prin
ciples viii do for men even though they d'
not include offices.

It is really painful to witness the efforts
of republican editors, who also possess
post officers, to trim their sails for the ad-
vent of Arthur and the stalwarts in the
Presidential chair. 1t is generally known
that these postal editors took decided
grounds in favor of the administration,
and against Conkling and the stalwarts,
in the recent fight in New York. Some OF
them, notably the editor of the Davenport
Gazette, held meeting and endorsed the
action of the administration. OF course
things have changed since that endorse
ment was made, and these administration
editors will attempt to come over on the
winning side To do SO gracefully, is
what is now giving them so much trouble,
as they would prefer to write up comets
and other heavenly disturbances. They
never come nearer home in their editorials
than England, but in time they may reacl
California, and even Washington. Time
is all they want.

Prohibition does not always prohibit, any
more than protection protects, although il
certainly makes Hypocrisy more general,
and deceit and cunning more intense. The
recent experience of the prohibitory law
in Kansas demonstrates that men viii have
whiskey while another class appear to be
willing to supply it.
In Topeka, the state capital, innocen
ice cream parlors sprung up and fiourished
with unusual rapidity. They became the
most popular resorts, and were visited by
the majority of old topers in the place.
An investigation revealed the fact that
by purchasing dish of honey slust
drink of whiskey was given away
The latterEwas highly enjoyed but the
former remained untouched. A single
dish thus served for great length of time,
and enabled the proprietor to furnish both
at reasonable rates In Vermont they have
sleight of hand performance by which
the initiated can extract the intoxicating
beverage from an innocent cooler of ice
water.
Prohibition thus prevents one mlsfor-
tune and leads to others; showing that
voter in such Republican States as Yer
mont and Kansas is very similar to Mark
Twain's idea of mule. II the latter don't
kick, bite or back, it follows that he has
some more vicious habit So with these
men, attempt to prevent them from drink
ing, and they show that they are wen sup
piled with other and more vicious habits.

Some one starts the story that it Vice

only exercise the duties of that office long

The definition Of the word mana

who contrives.
A manager of a Sugar Estate cor
responds with the English Land
Steward to a great extent, and thus
may be also defined as n who
superintends the affairs of others.
If the above definitions be seriously
considered, the office of a manager
carries with it a very great amount Of
responsibility and the definitions
themselves are worthy Of careful
analysis.
One wA0c0nducts wiM economy. Eco
nomy is defined as a frugal aud judi
cious expenditure Of money, not only
of course, of money itself, but also of
time-of Iabour Cloth human and
animal)-and of material, and it
must be the managers care to see
that no more time, labour, or material

With regard to money, the Managers
duty must be to see. that he obtains
on behalf of the Estate fair value for
all he expends, be the expenditure
little or much. The basis price of all
labour is settled by various circum-
stances, such as the state of the
labour market &c, and cannot, for
unskiIled labour, be lower than what
will provide a man with the necessary
minimum of food, house, and clothes.
Habit soon becomes second nature,
and the habit of drawing the weekly
pay apparently so easily on the
Friday tends, even with the most
conscientious man, to the habit of
paying that money easily away on
the following morning. Light come"

DAYS work, and that every beast OF
draught or burden who is, in the cost
of his care and keep, drawing a falr
days pay also, gives also IN exchange
a fair days work.
Economy Of time may be defined
as regulation Of time or regularity.
Without regularity nothing will pros
per as it should. Want of regularity
has been the stumbling block with
the greatest generals, the greatest
statesmen, the greatest g%eniuses,
through al times, and he who would
wish to manage well must first of all
regulate his own time and then the
time of all under him. Without going
too much into details, it will suffice
to say that the manager must fix and
carefully maintain a time for all
things, from the prompt payment of
the people on the Saturday morning
(Which is, or should be, the COM
mencement of the Estate week. to
the penning up of the cattle and the
putting away of the carts and harness
on the following Friday evening.
The nearer the routine Of Estate work
can be brought to clock work, the
nearer will perfection be arrived at.
The practise Of economy in labour
will demand considerable foresight on
the part Of the Manager, and he will
often have TO anticipate as it were,
the course Of events, perhaps for two
or three years. His object must be to
obtain the greatest results with the
least expenditure of labour, to avoid
all useless and unnecessary labour, to
avoid shifting the gang to a distant
piece, when he could as we'll put
them TO work on an adjacent piece,
to allow no cart or Wagon to be Oh
the move unless fairly and properly
loaded, and, whenever possible, to
get all his supplies &c. by the full
cart load, to send away all produce m
the same manner, and never to go or
return empty if possible.
The due economy Of material offers
considerable scope to the intelligence
of the manager, noe only in the use
of the material, but in its careful
storage &c. In the tropics, where
decay is most rapid, too much care
cannot be exercised in the Storage of
provisions, oats &C., in the keep Of
sadIery and harness, agricultural
implements, carts, wagons &C., and
to this end frequent inspections at
fixed times are highly desirable.
One wh0 controls. To have the
power of controlling others implies
that a man has already learned to
control himself, and has already,
through obedience, learned to COM
mand.
To be able to control we'll, a man
ager should bea good Judge of charac-
ter, firm, just,and consistent, he should
also be capable of taking a large and
general view of matters, so that while
prompt to notice and check every
FAULT, he yet does not make too much
of the same Ito the exclusion Of his
care and attention en- other matters of
the estate.

The association of ideas is some

WASHINGTON, March ia
Washington lady temporarily re-
siding in New York, with a view
to making it her permanent home,
claims through the Republican
that she finds no intellectual So
ciety there; that the best people
are given over TO an insane pur-
pose to make all the Show possible,
and that dress, style, appearance,
and fashion form the staple of
their conversation and thought;
that they are not given to intel
Iectual pursuits in the least, but
everything is strained to the ut
most in an exhaustive struggle to
show off. She misses the refined
and cultivated society of the Capt.
tai, and laments, as one of the
trials in store for her, that she will
be deprived Of those intellectual
pleasures which she has long en-
joyed in Washington, even though
she has occupied a comparatively
humble position. To the observer
of the phases Of society in the
metropolis this complaint will APP
pear as very apropos, and the con-
clusions well taken. 1t can be
safely said that no city in the
country offers the advantages in
genuine social enjoyment that Is
furnished by Washington city. II

presence Of intellectual men, and
the legitimate study Of the higher

pursuits of real culture. And
