l is not unusual to hear of people who
grumble hesvily at the shoel tax. They pay
for the Horkhouse aud the prison and for
judges and police without word, but to pay
to educate 90 as TO keep out OF jails and
VOL khouses excites their ire; they think the
money thrown away. That there should be
msu existing near the end OF the nineteenth
cen ury and in this enlightened land who
know better than this is notifying and dis
couraging. Bot so things are, and ii is per-
haps worth while thinking whether We can
not 80 arrange public school matters tn at
even these narrow souls shall cease their
gruubliDg. The most likely way to accom-
plish this is probably by Introducing indus
trial schools where a hammer will be put
Into the pupils hand as well as a primer,
and saw as we'll as grammar. Those who
ctn see no good in tesching how 10 think
will hardly fail in appreciate the attainment
to m Ike a chair. Youth who at public
schc OILS have attained some skill with tools
and some knowledge of the principles guild
Jog the uses they are put to are readily taken
as learners In shops and manufactures They
are soon Of use, and they work more intelli-
gently than others. France is noted for the
taste, beauty and finish of the many articles
for which, in an acceptable state, We look to
France alone. This excellence its workmen
hav, obtained has come from a combina-
ton of mental and Industrial education in
the government schools. Three hundred
such schools are now established in France,
aud recently the Minister OF Education an
nounced to the French Legislature that more
and more of these industrial schools would
be put in operation until no commune in the

Mahone Says Virginia VIII ne lne
Pivotal state in 1854.

S nstor Malone, interviewed by the
Washington correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Com Fierciai Gazstfe said: "The PRESIDENTIAL
election may turn upon hree counties in
Virginia. Il will not do for he Republicans
to count as certain thing the electoral
votes Of New York, NJ jersey, Indiana or
California; and without them them cannot
hope to have more than $50. Where can
they look for the rem Under? Only to VIr.
gina and North Carolina, and The electoral
vote OF Virgieis, l tell you, may depend
upon the vote of three counties.
g Q. Mshone then went on TO say that the
Resdjusters in the fall elections are already
certain Of the House. Tnsy would also be
cerIsin of the Ssuate, if whole Senate was
to b. elected. Bat hslf the Senate holds
over, and in the half are the doubtful Read
jusieis, sho constitute the big four. The
contest in the Senate will b, clos, and it
may turn upon the vote of hre- counties,
two Senatorial districts. Ii the Readjusteis
secute the S-naie, 1t is Ger. Mahone's
opinion that next year The contest in Vir-
ginia between the Bourbons and the Read
lus,ers will BE- confined 10 ihe electoral
ticket alone, az the Republican Legislature
will see to II, by suitable methods of Con-
gressionAl disIriC ling, that there shall be no
tights ia Congressional districts. Gen. Ma
none Is very confident that the Readjusters
will secure tn control Of the Senate.
AS 10 the recent county elections, he said
There Is popular Misunderstanding with
regard to them. The Resdjusters have never
made an issue ON county offices. They have
lost no ground in this State whatever. Every
county official that they have elected is a
gain. They have simply not gained as much
IN some quarters as they ought to have DONE
Bat they made substantial gains, and nc

Gncie sammy,s HeaIth.

The New York correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Record writes: Il notice there is
considerable dispute as 10 the condition of
Mr.. Tilden's health. 1 have seen him once
this spring, and then he look as well as
when he was running Tor the Presidency.
But my special information as to his actnal
Charles +. MeLsap, who soss him several
tirnes week. This gentleman said that Mr..
TIlden in former days had b N in the hsbit
OF taking all kinds of patent medicines, aud
they had injured his CONSTITUTION. When he
went 10 London in 1877 he consulted the
leading physician there, a Scotchmsn, who
said he wondered Mr.. Tilden had not been
killed By The poison with which he had
dosed himself. The doctor then put him on
regular diet, cut off all liquors but clsret,
and all Dostrams, and he Immediately began
to feel the benefit Ct it. A strict persever-
snce 10 this regimen, regular habits, and alb
stipence from excitement and late hours has
built up Mr.. TiIden's health and made him
to day 10 look physically as well as seven
wears sgo, The claret may have something
to do with il. Rumor used TO cay that
brandy was the sage's favorite beverage, and
that he could tip the flowing bowl at big
angle. There were some old stories shoat,
too, about his convivisl habits. Bot all this
belongs to the past. Now he follows the
sheep aud oxen at Gr.ystone, and is a very
apostle Of temperance. Mr. Tilden is any
thing but physical ruin, but nevertheless
he will have nothing to do with the Presi-
dental nominations beyond advising the
nomination of Samuel j. Randall.

toa is very much excited over a family diff
Guilty which occurred in th at neighborhood.
About three months sgo the daughter OF
wealthy sbrickmsker ives married 10 yeuug
man n med James Thomas. The father of
the bride gave the couple a nice house, newly
furnished, and for a monuh they lived quite
happily. AT the end OF that time the groom
became neglectful of his wife, and declared
lhathe did not love her, and was tired of
her. Ia proof OF THE, he subjected her to
very severe treatment, assailing her with all
kinds of indigniiies, until she left him and
went to Der fathers house. There she was
taken quite i'll. Meanwhile her husband re-
manned at the home her father had pro-
vided for them, and never inquired after her,
though he knew she was very ill. This con-
duct exasperated the father, who is amid
naluted old gentleman, With q long gray
beard and hair. Saturday morning, when
the young man came out Of the house, as
usual, without inquiring for his wife, who
was in the next house be stopped him Quietly,
and, taking him by the hand, drew out
cowhide, plying ii vigorously upon mis- back
and shoulders. The young man resisted but
it was useless-the blows fell fast and heavy.
The neighborhood wee aroused, but go was

the cowhide until his victim fell at at his
feet. He then went quietly back into his
house, and the chastised br degroom hobbled

aEAsoNs FOR HIGH LICENSE.

The high license question is becoming one
of the most prominent Issues of the day.
State after State is taking il up and contro-
versy il keen and is becoming bitter. Not
unnaturally retailers OF liquor are provoked,
aud complain bitterly that they should be
singled out TO pay sums such as are exscted
of no other business men. Unfortunately for
them they have too long disreg arded public
opinion, and while year after year the peo-
pie wera posring out th-ir indignant pre-
tests they themselves forged the weapons by
aid of which they are overcome To-day. They
have disregarded the lessons presented by
the police courts, and the prisons and the
poorhouses snd Asy lums, but the public have
NOT, and DOW the consequences are coming,
heavy and hard. A correspondent asks in
the st. Louis Republican on what
moral ground an exorbitsnt license
is exacted from those who retail an
article the manufacture of which no law for
bids7 The, reply given Is that public policy,
under all civilized governments, and cen.
turtles ago, has found necessary special
charges and regulations With respect to 10.
to1icatiDg liquors. The evils flowing from
insufficient control have made a peculiar
treatment necessary. In similar way while

the rearing of dogs is not prohibited by any
law, taxes are imposed on their excess, and
on occasion they are destroyed. This is an
extreme mes1ure, but the prevention OF great
dangers and annoying evils are considered
necessary for the public welfare. The same
care for the public welfare has led to the
taxing in order 10 stop the excess or liquor
sellers. This is done also that the great eI-
pence and loss coming from intoxicating
liquors may 10 come exten! be borne by those
who supply il. Also that opportunities and
inducements to drink may be decreased, and
in order that the sellers, being fewer, they
may be held TO stricter responsibility and
their houses subjected to more complete su-
peryision and control.

Of tin the Philadelphia Times as early as
March last. The recent declaration in But
ier's favor By Chairman Btrnum, of the
Democratic Nationsl Committee, was made
at the chosen time, and there was no acct
dent about the place. Similar declarations
by distinguished Democrats will follow, ss
set down in the programme. There are
likely TO be a number OF surprises az one
after another OF the Democratic leaders rises
to give in his adhesion to Butler. The ap-
pearAnce of Butler in Tammany, July 4th,
as the principal orator, will be an important
occasion, which from the start has consli-
tuted conspicuous pat OF the programme
for pl acng Butler On the Presidential track.
1t is a question of nomination purely, 60
reason the mana ers, the most important OF
whom is Butler himself. The general is pre-
ceeding on the ground that he can show
capital which no one else can, namely,
the great body OF a very large class of Re
publicans who declare themselv "out of
politi s." His friends declare that he can
carry more doubtful States than any other
man. This, of course, contemplales the sup
port OF the Democrats to a man. 81 will

SO long and the disappOintments have been
go nsny and great, that the patriotic heart
OF toe average Democrat is inclined to swell

The bees were drowsy on the slope,
The air was wondrous sweet and still,
And all my heart beat high with hope
OF marvels on the Grecian hill.
The light cloak from my shoulders flew,
Ny bare brown limbs we're light and free;
The lark whose rapture thrilled me through
Was but singing bird to me-
For was Greek in Hellas' prime,
And singing to the clear bright air,
And Grecian bees were in the thyme
And the lost charms In all thugs fair.
Hills beyond hills from blue TO gray
Faint TO the misty Highland SKY,
But have been an hour away
In my own vale of Already.

Look, sister, at the wayward mani

Within the vale Arcadian."
