Ex-Governor Lucius Robinson was
found at his beautiful home in the out
skirts Of the city of Elmira, upon the
banks of the Chenango river. He is
greatly changed for the better since
he left Albany, and his step is as vigor-
GUS and elastic as when he entered
upon his Gubernatorial career. Free.

or giving expression TO any views as

oughly posted concerning what is
transpiring in the outside world |

upon my constitution, and as events pro
gress in the near future may inform
myself as TO measures and men, when
| shall be glad of an opportunity OF
giving expressions to my opinions, pro
vided they are deemed to be of any
use or value" When asked his opinion
concerning the prospects of the Demo.
cratic party in the State this Fall the
Governor said
"When the Democracy of the State
and of the Nation have had enough of
adversely, they will make up their
minds that the time has arrived for
success. The trouble is that our public
men are guided too much by desire
Tor self aggrandizement and personal
profit, instead of public interests.
Lofty principles should be their guide
in official action. There is no reason
why the Democratic party should not
succeed. 1t is in majority in the
State and the Nation. 1t knows its
enemies and has only to gather friends
to its ranks from the young men of
the country who are coming into ac-
tive participation of political duties
and to stand fast 10 its principles to
achieve success. The importance Of
the campaign in this State this Fall
can not be over estimated it is the
keynote Of future success. Wise coun-
sells should prevail, and the advice of
the best men in the party should be
followed. | have passed my three
score years and ten and have claims to
be excused from longer taking an act

cratic party, or as fighting as q soldier

In response to the question whether
Grant was intriguing for tho Prcsi-
dental nomination through the alliance
of Democrats and Republicans, Gov
ernor Robinson said "Such an alliance
is absurd, and nomination for Grant
under such conditions is utterly un.
reasonable, and out of the question.
II any Democrats want TO join
such movement, with such an object
in view-let them go--l should say
that the Democratic party would be
better off without them"

COMPLIMENTARY TITLES.

IL is healthy sign that the news.
papers begin to denounce and discard
the absurd practice of bestowing COM
plimentary titles Unfortunately upon
everybody that holds or ever held
office. The trainers of both the Fed.
eral and State governments carefully
excluded them, so that in legal sense
no titles exist in this country. The
general aping after them is compara-
lively of recent date, but the practice
has grown SO common lately that every
one who gets into office now days ex.
poets editors to speak of him and other
people to address him as "Hon., ""Gen., "
&c, The ornamentalpig tail appendage
Of esq" originally worn only by
Justices OF the Peace and lawyers, is
no longer respectable, and "Hon." has
now grown so common that it is not q
whit better. In fact, so farcical has
this ridiculous business become that
every well bred man very greatly pre-.
iers to be addressed as plain "Mr," if
a complimentary title be given at all,
and that is now unquestionably and
beyond dispute the highest mark of
personal respect.
OF course "Rev. is tolerable because
it is applied only to a class and ex.
presses an occupation, So Of "Dr." as
applied to physicians. So also Of mill.
tary titles as applied to officers in the
service, or who have been.
Perhaps the most grotesque Of any
are those of "Prof." and CDR" when
the latter is applied by virtue of de.
gree conferred by somo petty little
"College," which concerns sling them
about as an invitation to contribute q
mite to thir Golfers.
"Hon was originally applied only to
Judges of the Courts, then TO members
of Congress, from that to every man
who gets into office, and is now deemed
sort Of prerogative Of every politician.
We indulge in this much particular
ity on this subject because we want
our readers TO understand that when
we speak of Mr. so-and.so we mean by
the title given to treat him with more
than common respect, and that other
titles with the exceptions notcd) will
only be used in compliance with a vul-
gar fashion. There is no honor in
complimentary titles-they only de.
tract from excellence and eminence.

INTERRUPTIONS.

Every teacher, especially in acountry
school, knows how many and varied
arc the interruptions TO systematic
school work which the restless spirits
under his care can cause, Begging
permission TO move about, TO speak, TO
leave the room, asking for assistance
in lessons, for tho meaning of word,
andnumberIess other requests until tho
teachers patience is almost worn out
with giving attention to these unimport-
ant things, which distract her thought,
and far more that Of thepupils, from the
real work of tho school.room. There
seems no means, in country schools, Of.
avoiding these annoyances. The schol.
ars, many of them only attending school
a few months in the year, them ajority
of them coming from houses where
system is thing unknown, and dis.
cipino has never been dreamed ot--the
task Of training them TO steady, dill.
gent, systematic application IS far be.
yond the power Of any teacher, even
though the power granted him be alb
solute-which IL never is--in the short
time allowed. SO there is nothing left
for him but TO make up his mind TO
bear these things, and make every en-.
deavor in his power to lessen them,
since abolish them ho cannot.
First of all, the teacher must never
lose his patience because OF those an
noyances. Then, from the day of open.
ing school, he must have programme
OF daily duties and follow Il as closely
as he possibly can. For all necessary
interruptions, he should provide a time
on lis programme. If whispering is
erer to be permitted In the school, let
there be a time, between the recita-
tions, when two or three minutes can
be. given TO IT, If II seems advisable,
let there bo a special time assigned TO
answering questions about the lessons.
Never lot rocitations be interrupted TO
attend to cases Of discipline, unless Il
bo most aggravated instance which
nothing but prompt and stern action
can properly meet. In word, strive
after that order, which when thorough.

not be lasting. They do not agree
with its principles or its purposes
They will gradually desert from its
ranks. They cannot follow the lead
of Mr. Garfield in favor of the central

of the General Government. The

discussions should not be marred by
any display whatever of passion and

these sovereign States may itself live
Upon these subjects the policy Of the
Democratic party should always bC
bold, incorporating and aggressive.
"Would it not be well to try a busi
ness man who had The confidence o.
the country as our next candidate for
President? ?"
"What is called the science of gov.
ernmont is but practical business on O
comprehensive scale. The same gen.
eral principles which command success
in business affairs are the real founda
tion of successful governmental ad,
ministration. And this truth is be-
coming daily more and more patent to
the Americanpe people. Abstract theories
and sentimental notions in our politics
are being rapidly superseded by the
logic of facts and the practical common
sense OF every day lie. This tendency
of the pabl,a iaihGsWil undoubtedly
find emphatic expression in the next
Presidential campaign, and will matter
little whether thecandidate bea soldier
or citizen, a politician or a layman,
provided always, he be a statesman Of
high character and capacity, possessing
broad comprehensive and correct views
upon the great public questions of the
day, combined with thorough practical
knowledge of and sympathy with the
business interests and possibilities of
the country"
"Would it not be well to encourage
the young men of the country who are
coming OF age to join the Democratic
party ?"
"Beyond question, every eifortshould
be made 20 show our young men the
right way to political salvation, which
is the Democratic way, and then to
urge them to walk therein
ado you think Grant will succeed in
his plans to split the Republican party,
in hopes that he may obtain the Demo.
cratic nomination in 1882"
al know nothing of General Grants
plans, but if they are TO split the Re.
publican party, be has my best wishes
ior complete success, and if he succeeds
it will be his most commendable act
since the first year Of his Presidency.
That he can obtain the Democratic
nomination in 1884, is the supremest
folly to suppose The Democratic
party will require works meet for re-
pentance' before it honors a renegade
like him, who left the party for place
and pef"
"What about the division Of the Re
publican party II this State2 ?"
"Tho machine will continue to rule
to ruin and the reformers so Called
or half breeds, will continue to bow in
abject submission to the behests Of the
boss, simply venting their rage in un-
profitable complaining"
"Will the campaign in this State
this Fall be an important one ?"
"All the State offices to be filled by
election next Fall are very important.
The party which carries the State will
largely have the advantage in the
Gubernatorial contest of 1882, and the
party which wins decided success IN
that contest can name the next Presi.
dent. New York is a Democratic State
when our party is united. In my
opinion no higher political duty can be
devolved upon any of us than to labor
increasingly to bring about thorough
union and harmony in the Democratic
party OF this State, 1t can be accom-.
plished."

WHIP THE WEE EBEA TIERS.

Tho statute books Of the various
States punish wife.beators simply with
imprisonment. This offers a premium
to wifc.beating and, in many cases,
Furnishes the poor wife for being beaten.
For, If the man is q worthless bum.
mer, as Is usually tho case, he whips
his wife to extort her earnings from
herself and children, TO crafty his
boastly appetite with, or assault her
because she is the most helpless victim
ho can select, with the object of being
sent TO prison TO loaf and live more
comfortably than he can outside. II
he is man who works at all, and in
his cups occasionally assaults his wife
whilst irritable and quarrelsome, the
wife will not appear against hlm lest
she and her little ones be deprived OF
his assistance and support while he is
incarcerated, and thus he is gradually
brutalized by immunity from punish
ment and the encouragement OF the
habit. Men who are capable Of beat
ing their wives arc essentially brutes /;
tho animal predominates IN their ma.
lures and they can only be disciplined,
taught and improved by methods
which inniet physical suffering. They
have no tender sympathios, no sense
of shame and no moral sensibility II
they had they would not commit the
infamous and monstrous assaults for

enco of the law-making power is being
generally invoked. Hence the whip.

mankind invariably point as the cor
