me that soap was the legal tender in

THEY used to tell story at the ex-
pense of Sam Bowles, the father of the
present publisher of the Springfield
RepuJlican, who was one of the first to
abolish the unnecessary use of capital
letters in his newspaper. AT first he
had great trouble to make his cOmPos-
itors understand the rules he had estsb-
lished, and, finally. when he had been
more than usually annoyed one day, he
issued an order that no words e1eepl
San Bovles, and Deity should be-
gin with capital letters.

The Professor.

It is easier to point out some abuses
than to suggest remedies. The abuse
of the title of professor" is one of them
The Burlington Haaokeye is in for re-
form in the use of the title. 1t is, RS
that paper says, pity that the scholars
who have earned it well and wear it with
dignity should have their livery worn
in the circus, the rat-pit and the stable.
According to the HaaUkeye, the title is
thus conferred nowadays:
A man swims further than any man
professor. A man cuts corns and cures
bunions for a iving-professor; he
waltzes three hours without resting
professor; plays the fiddle and imparts
to others the secrets of the diabolical
art-professor; walks a slack rope
stretched across the street-professor;
goes without eating twenty days--pro-
fes or; rides four horses bareback
professor; sings in the choir-professor;
teaches a brass band-professor; cures
warts-professor; plays billiards for a
living-professor; trains dogs-profes-
sor: performs some clever trick of
sleight of hand-professor; does moth

knows le,s of books and schools than
he does Of heaven-professor.

A SWIM FOR LIFE.
Fearful Adventure OF a froniiersman 10 the Rap
ias OF the Colorado River.

hsof thr toiofsdo RIVER.
From the Phoebe Recsrd
A correspondent writing from Ell
Dorado Canyon, New, under date OF
June IS, says:
Another Of our old-timers has been
swallowed up by the treacherous Col
orado. Barney Coleman and Benz.
Gooch, accompanied by two Indians,
started up the river last Friday morn
ing in skin, for the purpose Of CATCH
ing driftwood. After reaching point
between twelve and fifteen miles mp the
river, the boat. becoming unmanagea-
bic, was drawn into an eddy aud disap-
peared in an instant. The skiff at the
time was near steep cliff OF rocks,
whose walls were 200 feet in height,
and the Indians, observing that the
eddy was about swallowing the boat
and crew, jumped and chung to the
rocks, and Goooh endeavored to do the
same thing after them. He secured q
slight hold Oh the perpendicular side Of
the cliff, chung to it only for moment,
then fell into the water and was seen
no more.
Coleman sprang from the stern Of
the skitf out into the river and got be-
yond the eddy, where he watched for
the appearance of the boat. He had
not long to wait, but it seemed to him
ages, when he caught sight of it, bottom
upwards, few yards down the river,
when he swan after it, overtaking and
clinging to it.
In this condition, for three miles, he
went shooting past rocks, blowing
through breakers and whirling about
in eddies, when he came face to face
with one of those roaring rapids and
treacherous eddies 80 numerous and so
dreadful in the Colorado. There was
no time to lose. Another chance be-
tween life and deeth, and that chance
perhaps was the only one in thous-
and. The resolution was formed one
moment and executed the next. The
skiff was in the midst of the rapids,
standing on end; another breaker, and
over it went. This was an indescriba,
BILE moment to Coleman, whose sole re-
lance had deserted him, as he felt
prisoner in the hands of death, and
though he had scarcely known his
strength before, here was a desperate
opportunity for its test, and he says he
felt that he was o mere straw at the
mercy Of wave one second and an
eddy the next.
Here was waged fierce and pro.
tracted struggle for life between pow
erful man and skillful swimmer, weigh
ing 225 pounds, and first q whirlpool
and then rapid, whose force and size
and danger can never be realized ex-
cept by the man whose life was trem-
bling in the balance; but courage and
human strength at last prevailed, and
the brave man swan on over the rapids
and through whirlpools for the distance
of three of as perilous miles as was
probably ever won by man. Who can
imagine his feelings as he reached in
safety and crawled up on the river
bank, where he lay for some time COM
pletely exhausted? When he had re-
gained sufficient strength, Coleman set
out for the canyon, and, shoeless and
naked, after tramp of six miles over
the barren, rocky mountains and
through deep canyons of burning sands
in the heat Of the broiling sun, he ar
rived, his feet bleeding and fearfully
lacerated by the sharp rocks.

made at that place the next day, as
John would then be present.

Nv sha' Piaoo tnc next DAY, as
John would then be present.
Toward evening, instead of returning
home, Crockett slipped over to John
Murray's place and spent the night
with him; opened up his plan to make
him sheriff, and worked him up to
consent to stand in" as candidate, in
spite OF his protests that he could not
write, read or spell. Crockett insisted
that he could brush up and get the bet
ter OF that. So, getting an old spelling
book, he spent the evening to bedtime
introducing him into the mysteries of
the alphabet, and teaching him how to
spell John. He put him through
A, B, O, etc., down to emphasizing z,
or lizard, as the last letter.
The next morning he explained to
John the circumstances OF his bet with
the storekeeper, and drilled him in
spelling John. On the way to the
grocery it was planned that they should
separate at certain fork in the road
and ride up to the grocery by different
roads, salute each other as though they
had not met, and in proper time the
bet should be mentioned, and Crockett
should call for the trial. In parting,
Crockett impressed upon him to re.
member John, John, and not let it
escape him. Murray repeated after
him several times John, John, and
claimed to have it all right.
They met at the grocery, as concert
ed, and the usual crowd were present.
In the course of conversation and
irrigation" Crockett called to Murray
and told him of the bet made on him
the day before.
Sand now," said he, "is as good
time to decide it as any. Remember,
now, that mule colt of mine is up
against barrel of whisky, and it is
fine blood beast, and I would not take
five hundred dollars for it. Now, we
want you to spell your name for the
crowd" .......
Murray started, a."
"That's it, cried Crockett.
49," continued Murray.
GAS good as wheat I knew you could
spell it. What next, now?" exclaimed
Crockett.
e." added Murray.
Better and BETTER" cried Crockett.
"Now give us the last remember
the last?"
"Izzard," said Murray.
The grocer proceeded to halter the
mule colt and tie him up in the back
yard. Crockett handed over the coin
for the drinks for the crowd, mounted
his old mare and rode sadly away. And
the most veracious authorities declare
that such was his humiliation and dis
gust at the result of his adventure, that
he hardly made astop on the road until
he reached the confines of his Lone
Star State.
This is why Davy Crockett went to
Texas.

lated and vulgarized whatever he has touched.
1t is plain, therefore, that the e1uberant actlvi-
ties of Mr.. Jones should be restrained within
strict limits. Mr.. Lane is also wrong when no
assumes that The TRIBUNE is laborlng to re-
store Mr. Olmsted. This is not q question OF
men, but of principles, and the attitude OF IHE
TRIBUNE has been reasonably plain and con-
sistent in this matter. The Park need not
perish when Messrs. Olmsted and Fau1 anu
Parsons and Fischer die. But it Will speedily go
TO ruin unless its maintenance is now lntruSted
to men who arc skilled in every branch OF park
work. 1t is the duty of the Commissioners TO
see that the most important work of the KIND on
this continent Is placed under the executive
control of men of recognized training, expert
cncc and achievement. If they fail IN TINS IL
will be the duty of the people to demand an
other and better Commission.

CARRYING IT TOO FAR.

Our Tammany friends who are Just now
Incorporating as Antl-MOnOpoists and Friends
OF the People seem rather sensitive tc
criticism. While they themselves 90 around
with their tongues in their cheeks making
Jokes on their masks and indulging
III much meIriment over the figure they cut
as Friends of the Poor, they strenuouSly OBJ
ject to any outside intjmation that they are
not lying awake nights devising measures for
the suppression of monopolics and the relief of
distressed people grooming under the tyranny
that forces them to pay fares ard freights
Here is the silyery -tohgucd Grady, for instance,
disporting himself at Albany as an Anti
Monopoist and Friend of the People, and
having, no doubt, great deal of fun
out of il, but when it is intimatcd that
ha isn't consumed so much by desire for the
popuIar welfare for Gradys advancement,
he rises up and wants 10 know who says
be isn't and hasn't always been the foe Of
monopoles and friend of the poor. Now
Grady, it seems 10 Us, is carrying 1T too far
So long as he and his Tammany confederates
wear their masks as Anti MonOpnlsts, and
for purely business purposes keep up the
illusion on the surface, the public looks on
and is willing 10 be amused. But when Grady
comes out and complains at being laughed at,
and asseverates that the gang are not masquerade
Ing that they are i'll downright earnest; that
they are really Anti-Monopohsts and Friends

How many of the thousands who for six days In
the week cross the ferries either side OF New
York morning and evening, ever give so much rs q
thought to the unequaed opportunity which they
have. if they would only improve it, of breathing
fresh air for five or ten minutes twice day. Inc
cabins of the average ferry boat are never provided
with very perfect ventilating apparatus and eSpccl-
ally during the crowded morning and evening hours
in the wiutcr season they become filed with foul
and poisonous air from thousands Of lungs, which
cannot DO renewed before the cabins are packed
again to their utmost capacity. But out in front or
in the rear one can get undiluted oxygen which Is
like the breath Of life to those who have spent the
day in close and ill-ventilated Offices or shops.
Even in the coolest weather the bracng influence OF
such deep draughts of pure air far more than COM
pensates for tho mOmentary chilly feeling which
may result from the exposure. Let the readers OF
TIE TEIBUNa make the experiment. Resist the
temptation to squeeze into the crowded cabin in
order TO glance over your morning or evening
paper. an see if the exhiaratlOn which you will
soon feel from breathing unpolluted air for a few
minutes does not fully repay you. At any rate, the
thought that you not taking into your system
the poison that has been thrown out from the lungs
of hundreds of other men and women Will be no
small satisfaction.

The drama occupies an unusually large share
of our space this morning. In addition to the
customary records Of the local stage, the
freshest gossip of the London green-rooms is
given in our special cable dispatches, and two
foreign letters are devoted to the same sub
feet. The London letter derives special inter-
est from the fact that it discusses the charges
of plagiarism freely made against playwright
whose ability was tested last night by IL New
York audience. The resemblance are traced
IN ono of the most successful of Alr. Thomas
Hardy's novels, which has been diamatlzed by
himself. The Paris letter describes how victor
Hugo's "Ninety-Three" has been presented In
dramatic form.
