Legislature vs. Lunatics.

10 the eijio Of ihc Iirnndria Gazette:
If, is; yon happily remarked on the Goth
january. the present Legislature has done
nothing so ridiculous It's the election of
Richard X. F:lrraS Superintendent of Public
Instructions" the same notorious body has
unIucslionably done nothing so wicked as
the indiscriminutc election Through servilc
Boards whose dirty work was cut out for
them III adranccJ OF the medical and other
officers OF the State institutions for the in
sane, and-prospcctivey- the deaf and
dumb. Even if the new appointccs are as
capable as the old. the wholesale simulta-
ncous change is an obvious outrage arainst
humanity, but 10 one can doubt that they
are inferior. As Superintendent of the
Staunton Asylum. for instance. the new
Board chose person who had long been
superintendent of Schools there: in other
words they dared to turn out and incrlm-
bent of acknowledged fitness. and to fill
! the most important medical position in the
state with Il physician whose merit ms
such was so small as to have obliged him to
seek Il living, and a scanty one at that. in
another calling. Is it possible too strongly
TO rcprobatc such conduct? Should it not
DC hcld up to the cXCclTltion of sensible and
humane people everywhere?
In the February number of GuHinrds
-hdioW Journal, published in New York.

! THE VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE OUTRAGE
POLITICS AND PHILANTHROPY.
IL the true meaning Of the word politics
be taken, the politician would be pre-cmi-
nently philanthropist. true friend of
every citizen; but the dictionary of the pre-.
sent shows him to be frequently the oppo-
site essentially selfish vena, corrupt and
often the worst enemy Of his race.
The most recent illustration of this last
truth has just been given in Virginia. where
the Readiuster Legislature has declared va
cant the offices of all the charitable institu-
tons of thc State, and has also lcgislatcd out
OF Office the regents and guardians of such
institutions. The asylums for the insane
Tor the deaf and dumb. for the blind. etc.
nave all been by vote, deprived OF the
medical officers, who have for years been in
charge of them who have become the Gus
todlaIlS oi the physical and mental secrets
OF thousands, and who have become practi-
c:llly familiar with the diseases. mental and
physical of the multitudcs under their
charge. Such Il dastardly, cowardly. infl
nous act should and must meet with but
one reward, the personal execrtion ofeycrv
just man and woman. and with the DopuaI
damnation of every one who looks to the
ballot-boN for redress
There Is no pretenSc of condemnation of
rcprobation Of the officers recently inc,lm-

power desire for their huckstcring follow

But apart from all this, such legislation is
a mean. cowardly and wanton trespass upon
the rights OF citizens, which every good citi- /

be prevented by invigorating and toning that

Stomach Bitters. Let it be borne in mind
that the liver, the kidneys, the insestines, the
muscles, the ligaments, tie bones, the nerves,
the integuments, are all renewed ard nouz-
ished by the blood, and that the digestive
organs are the grand aleulhie IN which the
materials of the vital fluid afe prepared.
When the stomach fails to provide heaithful
nourishment for its dependencies they neces-
sarily suffer, and the ultimate result, il the
evil is not arrested, will be chronic and p1ot-
ably fatal disease somewhere. l. may be de-

BOXING. In an article on amateur box
ing, the New York Sportsman says Tho
youth who can use his hands well, rarely
resorts to knife or pistol, as the fist is
much quicker than any concealed weapon,
and, like the Irishman's shillalah. never
misses fire. The simple fact that boxing
teaches self-reliance to boy, should be
recommendation enough to paterfamiliss to
encourage his sons to become proficient in
the art of hit, stop and get away" a
broken head is soon remedied, but cold
leaden bullet or the cruel thrust OF knife
has cost many a life, and any one who re-
sorts to these weapons, excepting when his
life is in danger, is contemplate coward,
without spark of manhood In his breast,
and disgrace to the Anglo Saxon race.
The accomplishment Of boxing should be
part of every American boys education, as
much as fencing or the quarter staff was in
the days of 'Bluf King Hal"
