that candidate for the high Office Of
President Of the United States ought
not even to seem to be engaged in
land speculations. Rather than as
sumo this appearance of what he re-
garded as a public improperly, Gen
eral jackson chose to give away an ex.
ceedingly valuable property. Mr..
Hayes Secretary of the Interior,
when posing as a reformer, has been
accustomed to charge that President
Jackson debauched the public service
of the United States. In the course
ofhuman events, Carl Schurz also en-
deav0red to make a deed of gift Of
some valuable land-of tract, in
deed, equal in area: to the six New
England States and the State Of New
Jersey combined. But these lands,
equal\in extent to these seven States
whichNCarl Schurz did all he could to
give away, did not belong to him, but
to the people of the United States, and
the deed was given not in the interest
of publiclyirtue, but to predatory
railway corporation. which straight
way proceeded to employ Mr., Schurz
to edit a newspaper in the name of re-
form. Which of these twain is the |
debaucher Of public virtue?

Mr. Smalley telegraphs from London
"a a. MI VI

Mr.. Smalley telegraphs from London
to the New York Tribune:
THE verdict in the Guiteau trial is
universally approved, but ELECTS from
the Times the most offensive article it
has published since the rebellion. 1t
declares that the American people are
satisfied with the conduct of the trial,
which was a broad farce enacted in a
court, without one symptom of popu-
lar disapprobation. 1t doubts whether
the nation which has turned the suf-
ferings Of Garfield into food for
a sensation, the crime into a
jest, and the trial into a prolonged
farce, has the right to hang Guiteau.
1t insists that the English sympathies
expressed at the time of the Presi-
dents death are now proved to have
been unnecessary, and it affirms that
all Americans, educated people ex-
cepted, sat by Garfeld's bedside, not
as sympathizing friends, but as dab
blers in the mysteries of physiology
and spectators upon the chances Of
life for man threatened with pyemia.
The whole article is a series Of stud
led insults. The Saturday Review
follows suit, remarking that Guiteau
is typical American, urging that not
merely the peculiar offensiveness, but
the popularity Of the crime itself, is
directly traceable to Democracy. The
scandals Of the trial, it says, are d.
rectly connected with Democratic pol
itics and society, and it suggests that
Guiteau's outbreaks in court proceed
cd from a generous indignation at
finding his liberty restrained, his mo-
tiyes questioned and his character
assailed. 1t points to the shooting OF
the President as the result Of a hun.
bred years Of unbridled Democracy,
and concludes that the Democratic
helot may at least be thanked Tor an
instructive lesson"

SUPERSTITION IN PENxsYL.
WANNA.
The Idea Entertained There in
Regard to the killing OF
White Deer.

1t has always been a superstition
among the hunters of Northern Penn
sylvania, that to kill a white deer
would take away all good luck from
any one so thoughtless as to fire the
fatal shot. White deer are among the
rare animals that roam the woods.
They are so rare, in fact, that many
people believe them to be myths. Old
hunters declare that they have seen
deer as white as snow bounding over
the ridges in years gone by, and relate
instances of the fate which overlook
men who were so rash as to kill them.
A Well-known resident Of Pike county
expresses his sacred belief in the su-
perStition, and relates singular Incl.
dent to show how we'll founded it
was:
White deer" he says, are all gone
from our woods now, the last one hav-
ing been killed in 1872, by Hornbeck
Sinner and two others. That deer
was well known to all the old hunters,
but of course none ever raised a gun
against it. Hornbeck Sinner moved
from this county about the time the
war broke out, made some money in
the army, and afterward bought the
Exchange Hotel property in Wilkes
barre. In 1872 he was worth $4,000
He was a good hunter, having learned
how while he lived along the Lacka-
waxen. While camping up on the
Shohola in the fall of ~ with L.. e.
Bevans, of Port Jervis, and Henry
Frank, | think his name was, of Luz
zerne county, they heard that the
white deer had been seen over near
Greetings. In spite OF the protests of
the local hunters with them, they de-
termined to drive the ridge for the
deer, and kill it. They succeeded in
starting the deer, and all got shot at
it, killing it and bringing it into camp.
Not long afterward Sinners health
began to fail, although he was rugged
and strong as an OK before, and still a
young man. He died lingering death
two or three years afterward. You all |
know that he was brought to the old
homestead, up the river, and buried. |
1t was found that within a year or so
he had become involved financially. |
He died in the midst of domestic |
trouble, and out Of the fortune he had
in 1872 there was hardly anything left. |
His property in Wilkesbarre was all |
run down and was scattered at public
sale. In 1874 Henry Frank failed In
business, and died with a malignant
with scarcely enoush money
10 bury him decently. L. Il. Bevans, |
me Of the leading merchants in Port
Jervis, in 1872, soon afterward became
bankrupt. He was never the same
man that he was before, and the other
day he committed suicide in Port
]eryis."

Literature for Boys.

W. L. Alden.l HH
The old fashioned stories which the
unhappy boys Of the last generation
read have been succeeded by the man
ly and fascinating criminal novel. In
the old story books it was assumed
that truthfulness, honesty and obedi-
ence to parents we're virtues, and that
the Christian religion was not wholly
devoid of merit. If these views we're
not directly taught in the juvenile lit
erature Of our fathers, at all events
they were never directly or indirectly
attacked. Boys could learn nothing
from their story books except prepos-
ferrous Notwithstanding that was of
any particular use, or that tended to
develop in them manly or brilliant
traits. No such complaints can be
made Of the dime and half dime novels
Of the criminal school Which are now
read by all our boys, either openly or
secretly. In these delightful stories
new forms Of profanity and slang are
taught in the NEST effective way. The
pleasures Of burglary and highway
robbery, the manliDess Of gambling
and fighting, and the heroism of sue
cessful lying are set forth in what is
regarded by youthful readers as glow
ing eloquence, while the great truths
that all parents are tyrants, that all re-
ligious people are hypocrites, and
that disobedience to fathers
and teachers in disobedience to the
nobler instincts Of juvenile nature are
sedulously taught. Such stories as
these develop all that is manly and
lawless in our boys, and teach them
lessons that cannot fail TO be of i'm
mense service to them in whatever
criminal career they may adopt. There
are a few old fashioned people who
denounce the new juvenile literature
in unsparing terms; but that nearly
all fathers approve of it is self evident.
They know that their boys are reading
novels illustrative of the excellence Of
crime, but they make no effort to sup
press that sort Of literature. as they
certainly would do did they disap.
prove Of it. Nothing would be simpler
than to drive those novels out of ex.
istence. AL that it would be necessa
ry to do would be to Boycott" the
newsdealers who keep them for sale
The truth evidently is that fathers do
not care what their boys read, or that
they had no fault to find with Jack
Harkaway" and the "Boy Burglars
1t cannot be that respectable gentle.
men who dislike crime, profanity and
vulgarity williully refuse to know
what their beys are reading, or weakly
hope that by some happy chance their
reading will do them no harm.

STAR GAZING.
Ia Close Relation with the
Heavenly Bodies.

Knoxville Tribune, 1st.l
The University of Tennessee re-
ceived yesterday for its department
of applied mathematics a magnificent
large telescope that magnifes two
hundred and fifty diameters. 1t was
made By special order of Col. S. H.
Lockett, Professor in this department,
by Pike, Son & Company, of New
York. The order was given last sum-
mer and so delicate and yet so power
full is the instrument that it has taken
until now to complete it.
The telescope has an object glass
four and a halt inches in diameter and
is about six feet focal length; it is
fitted in a highly finished brass tube
with a short telescope finer attached
to the side having cross wires. When
the small instrument is brought to
bear on q star it is in full view of
the long telescope. 1t has a rack
adjustment for focusing. 1t is also
adapted to terrestrial uses by adjust
ing an eye glass made for the purpose
andwhich magnifes So diameters. 1t
also has one diagonal and four celes-
tial eye pieces with sun glasses magni-
fling respectively 100, $50, 300 and
go diameters. 1t is mounted on an
equatorial stand having a
seven inch declination circle, with two
reading three minutes. This
allows the Instrument to move as the
star does, and its whole course may be
observed. 1t has a latitude circle
divided into degrees, and an hour
circle with vernier reading 30 seconds.
The telescope is powerful one, and
quite an acquisition to the department
Of applied mathematics. 1t was made
with much care, and at a cost of
$500. This department, under the
control of Colonel Lockett, is doing
all that the most sanguine trustee
could hope for. The Professor, with
the patience of Job, never turns out
class that does not thoroughly under
stand the subject taught.
