LETTER TO THE DUCK.
WORTH CLUB.

The following Is Judge HOadly's letter
to the DuekwOrth Club, announcing his
departure and giving good advice:
CINCINNATI, Oct. 20, 1883.
"OTWAY j. COSGRAVE, ESQ, President
Duckworth Club, Cincinnati, o.:
"MY DEAR Mr.. COSGRAVE:-I am In re-
eeipt of an invitation to address the
Democracy at a meeting of cOngTatula-
tiOn over the recent victory, to be held
tonight. 1t Is with very great regret
that L am compelled to fOTegO the pleas
ure of accepting this invitation; but by
the advice of my medical adviser go
east tonight for the purpose of trying
the effect of brief change of scene in
the hope that my health, which is rapid
ly gaining ground, may be entirely re-
stored before l am compelled to perform
any of the OnerOus duties with which,
as the result IF the recent election,
am charged. Ia spirit shall be with
the club.
But long since learned that 1t was
the duty of an American citizen, in
matters Of election differences, where
great parties exist, composed of men Of
equal intelligence and integrity, to re-
ceiVe defeats with cOmpOsure, and to re-
jOiee over success with moderation.
This success especially charges the
Democratic party with the duty of wise
ly governing the State Of Ohio for the
next two years. We have it in our
power, by moderation and prudence, by
avoiding excess, to justify the verdict
which has been given, and to ask for
similar results in elections to come. L
trust and hope such will be the course
OF the party that the recent result may
be Vindicated by like victories in future
years, and to that end my own personal
efforts and exertiOns shall not be want
ing. L ask the counsel and advice of the
good men of our party, so many of whom
are found in the ranks of the DuckwOrth
Club. Again thanking the club for the
invitation, l remain very respectfully
yours, GEORGE HOADLY.

GLASS HOUSES.

Living in glass houses is not an i'm
probability for the future, and may have
the influence of making the human race
more peaceable. Already in many of the
business houses Of Paris, and especially
in those of which the cellars are used as
offices, glass Is now being extensively
employed instead of boards for flooring.
The whole of the ground floor of a large
establishment in that city is paved with
large squares of rOughened glass imbed
ded in strong iron frame, and in the
cellars beneath there is, even on dull
days, enough light to enable the clerks
to work without gas. 1t is said that al
though its prime cost is considerably
greater than that of boards, glass is In
the long run far cheaper, owing to its al
most unlimited durability. The mater
ial is cast in slabs, about eighteen in
ches square by an inch and half thick,
and transmits blush light.

THE PETIT JOURNAL,

A correspondent desires to know what
daily paper has the largest circulation
in the world. 1t Is the Petit Journal Of
Paris, small sheet less than half the
size of the Sun. Its circulation, which
is more than half million copies daily,
extends all over France. The amount Of
news 1t gives is very limited, and its
editorial articles are mere paragraphs,
and few at that; but they are pointed
and sensible. 1t publishes daily a pOr-
tiOn of an original romance, and one is
sure to find in its pages complete re-
port, sent often by telegraph and at con-
siderable expense, of the most interest
ing criminal trial that is going on in
the cOuntry.-New York Sun.

EDUCATION.

The main purpose of education is not
to promote success in life, but to raise
the standard of life itself; and this OBJ
ject can be attained only by those high
or studies which call forth the powers
of reason, moral feeling, and artistic
taste. Even in professional education,
our aim ought rather to be usefulness
in life than mere success, and we have
great distrust of all theories of educa-
ton that put success in the first place.
We believe that education
should be of kind in sympathy with
the present age, and that 1t should by no
means neglect to fit its recipient for the
struggle of life; but we object to Prof
JevOns's theory because 1t puts worldly
success before the pursuit of beauty and
truth; and we should be sorry to see
such theories find acceptance with
American edueatOTs.-FrOm Topics of
the Time, in the October Century.

NULL AND VOID.

The decision of the Supreme Court Of
the United States declaring the Civil
Rights act unconstitutional is a blow
to the Republican party as deadly as 1t
was unexpected. The membership of
exception of Mr.. Justice Field. That
tribunal which has been packed again
and again for political purposes and
which assisted in defrauding the people
out of their chosen President should
have sufficient respect for the COnstitu-
tiOn to refuse to sustain an act of Con-
gress passed for political end by the
party to which its members chiefly be-
long, is surprising indeed. The fact is
enough to startle Democrat and quite
sufficient to stun Republican.
The decision Of the Court is based on
the principle that there is no warrant
in the Federal Constitution for Con-
gress to legislate on a subject which is
under the exclusive control of the sew
eral States. This was the position ta-
ken by the Democratic party at the time
the civil rights bill was under consider
alton in Congress, and the decision of
the Republican Supreme Court of the
United States Is complete vindicatiOn
of the attitude of the Democracy on the
question. But just now 1t comes that
a tribunal which has lent itself to the
eOnsummatiOn of more than one uncOn-
stitutionaI scheme Of the Republican
party should find its conscience in this
particular case is thing which can
only be left to the conjecture of the
casuist.- From the Patriot, Harrisburg

THAT COAL DISCOVERY.

discovery was recently made near
Akron, which the diseOyeFers confident
ly believed would completely destroy the
State biologists whole theory of the
coal system of the state. The discovery of
vein of coal six feet thick, about four
hundred feet below the Tuscarawas val
ley, and from two to three hundred feet
below what geOlOgists looked upon as
the lowest coal seam of Ohio. This con-
ditiOn of things produced great cOnfu-
sion among amateur geOlOgists, and
their alarm was communicated to the
general public through the press. Am
ataur geOlOgists, however, know so lit
tie generally about geology that they
are simply pestiferOus. Prof. Edward
OrtOn, who was at the head of the geo.
logical survey of Ohio, comes to the res
cue in a communication In the COlum-
bus Journal. Although a man of extern
sive learning and great sOlemnity, Prof.
0rtOn is almost spOrtive in dispOsing of
the amateur discovery, which was to
knock the geological corps to the alti-
tude of the famous GilderOy's kite. His
statement, reduced to its lowest terms.
as we might say in fractions, is that the
"discOveTers" happened to strike one of
the thin sheets of albertite or mineral
pitch which are frequently found in the
series to which they have penetrated
AlbeTtite is found in vertical sheets, fill
ing cTevices in the shale, and it has
been mistaken for coal great many
hundred times. As a disinterested ju-
TOr, we incline to the opinion that the
effort to Overturn the geological system
has been a failure. We calmly await
the announcement of gOldmine dis
cOvery by the next man who strikes
iron pyrites."

The tariff plank in the Ohio Demo-
cratic platform is a good one and worthy
of adoption by the National Democratic
Convention. The Republican orators
said it meant nothing and travelled up
and down the State to prove it. The
voters of Ohio, however, thought differ
entity. Inasmueh as it is as wise and
sensible a declaration as can be made
upon that quarter, we print it again:
"We favor tariff for revenue, limit
ed to the necessities of a government
economically administered, and so ad-
justed in its application as to prevent
unequal burdens, encourage productive
industries at home and afford just COM
pensatiOn to labor, but not to create or
foster mOnOpOlies."
If the people of one of the greatest ag-
Ticultural and manufacturing States in
the Union can indOTse it, it ought to
meet the wishes of the people of the
whole country. 1t Is winning card.
The Democracy will stand by it and
those who think the tariff will give us
trouble might as well prepare for
great and grievOus disappointment

could be sent into the field. He esti-
mates that Germany can almost imme-
diately mobilize an army of $4,000 Off
GERS, l.450,0O0 men, $1,000 physicians
and officials, and 100000 horses; for
which number all clothes, armaments,
outfits, carts, etc., are provided In peace
time, and held in readiness in the differ
ent garrisOns. To the mObilized army
would have to be added the surplus Of
drilled reserve and militiamen, number
ing 10000 men: the depot reserve of
the hrst class, numbering 10000 men;
one cOntingenv of recruits, One-year
volunteers, volunteers under twenty
years, and ten cOntingents of Land

officers who have fought some of the
greatest battles of the century, and
have never turned their backs upon the
enemy.

TOBACCO USERS.

King James l. issued "COunterblast
TO Tobacco" in which he described its
use as "a custom lOathsOme to the eye,
hateful to the nose, harmful to the
brain, dangerous to the lungs, and in
the black, stinking fume thereof nearest
resembling the horrible Stygian smoke
OF the pit that is 0OttOmlesS." But the
"COUnterblast" was in vain. The use
OF tobacco steadily increased, and it has
gone on steadily Increasing ever since.
rational person will hardly dream of
doing anything to measurably decrease
the use of tobacco; for 1t were easier to
lessen the popular consumption of tea
and coffee. But an effort to make the
lovers of the weed little more cOnsid-
crate of the rights of others is a differ
ent matter. This is what David Dudley
Field has done in paper contributed
to recent issue of The Continent. Af-
Ter reading the paper we wonder some
one has not started the crusade earlier.
10 compel tobacco smokers to be Ordi-
nar1ly cOnsiderate and gentlemanly, If
1t be possible to do so by the force of
public opinion, is legitimate. We are
sure we are within bounds when we say
that love of tobacco has a tendency to
make the man who is always the perfect
gentleman in other things, sadly forget
himself when under the influence of ci-
gar or pipe. Two things have cOnspired
to bring this about: The leniency of
frivolous women, who permit men to
smoke in their company at home or on
the street; and the Difference paid to to-
baccO in public cOnVeyances. 1t is not
80 bad on the steam railway, where the
smoker must betake himself to a partic-
ulaT car set apart for tobacco and sali-
va; but to devote two seats in the open
street cars to an unlimited indulgence
in the weed, often crowds the patience
of the "Gentiles" into narrow limits.
We think Mr.. Fields paper is timely,
and we hope it may result In making to-
baccO know its place.-Plain Dealer.

CHIEF JUSTICE TANEY AND THE
DRIED SCOTT CASE.


Two letters in the October Century are
interesting as showing that Chief JUS
tice fancy has been misunderstood in
regard to his decision in the Dred Scott
case. One of the letters says in part
"The Chief Justice merely asserted a
fact, and did not decide that the negro
had no rights white man was bound
to respect Judge Taney never held such
an opinion, and it is an insult to his
memory to say so.
ALLOW nae to state some facts relative
to Judge TaDey's feelings toward the col
Ored race Some thirty years before his
death he freed his slaves. This proves
he was no lover of slavery. On one Oc-
casiOn, speaking of the cOlOred race,
with much emphasis, he said: THANK
God that at least in one place all men
are equal, in the church of God. do
not consider it any degradation to kneel
side by side with negro in the house
of our heavenly father On another Oc-
casiOn, speaking of the Dred Scott decis-
ion, he remarked, that mo matter what
might be his feelings in regard to the
question of slavery, his oath bound him
to interpret the law under the COnstitu-
tiOn.' This was his higher law-the
oath he had taken when ne accepted the
position of Chief Justice OF the Supreme
Court Of the United States. A purer, a
more conscientious man never wore the
eTmine; a more faithful servant the gov
eminent of the United States never had.
It was his fidelity to duty that cost him
his life, as | personally know. L knew
him Intimately for several years. He
spoke with sadness of our late troubles,
wishing from his heart that some
statesman would rise up and prevent
the fratTicidal contest"

HE SAVED DURBIN WARD.

Gen. James B. Steedman, who died
this week at Toledo, left no more sin
cere mOurner than Gen. Durbin Ward,
of Warren county. At the battle Of
Chickamauga, Gen. Steedman found
Ward lying in an old house with bull
let hole in his breast, where he had been
left for dead Steedman, thinking he
saw signs of life, poured a generous
draught of "cOmmissary" whisky down
the throat of the wounded man, and
seeing good results shouldered him and
carried him to camp, where prompt at
tentiOn saved the generals life. Others
had seen General Ward In the old house,
but believing there was no hope for him
had left him to his fate. Since this
episode there has always been warm
friendship between these two old sold
iers.-HamiltOn News.

THE ART OF PATCHING.

At Aberdeen, Scotland, there was held
recently one of those exhibitions, half
market and half museum, in which the
soul of the canny Scot delights. There
was n display of the eOnquests of Scot
tish hOusewifeTy over the accidents that
befall apparel; in other words, depart
ment was devoted to the exhibition of
skillful work in patching and darning.
Your Scot likes to have his attire of the
best material, and the women believe in
wOOlens that will hold water and silks
that will stand without assistance. Then
when the garment is made, it is expect
ed to last almost a lifetime, and acct
dental rent is regarded as something
that calls for repair and not for renewal.
Here, accordingly, Is shown an India
shawl in which a long slit had been
burned. Skillful hands have worked
carefully over the fabric, and so faith
fnlly has the pattern been followed that
at distance of yard the place where
The shawl was darned could not be dis
covered. A fine swallOW-tail coat, in the
skirt of which an ObtrusiVe nail had
made havoc, has square patch so deftly
Inserted as to be invisible save to the
ieenest vision. Costly silken hose In
elaborate patterns, darned in hundred
places, defy the closest inspection of the
curious who desire to find where the
holes really were. So in hundreds of
diverse instances displayed in this eX-
hibitiOn the genius of Aberdeen house.
wives for economy has enabled them to
rescue from the ragbag valuable mate
rial whose defects might be hidden only
by dexteTOus patching. They cultivate
this art as an incidental development Of
the same native shrewdness that pre-
vents their husbands and brothers from
rushing hastily into an important en-
terprise and makes the thrifty Scot an
exemplar of prOvident yet not aVarici-
GUS economy.
