TRAGEDY From Coop FoaruNE.-.

TRAGEDY From Coop FORTUNE
pee llia:ly sad and shocking domestic trag,
eiy is reported from the town of Batyu, in
Hungary. The keeper ola crossing on the
East Hungarian Railway near thlt town
happened to win few days ago some hun.
dreds of forms in lottery. The poor fcl,
low, who had never seen such a large SUN of
money in his life, took the bank notes home
and amused himself in turning t;cm over.
forming plan upon plan for their disposal
All at once train was signalcd, and he
rushed to his post, leaving the precious roll
behind him. AS ill luck would have it,
his little daughter was playing in the room
at the time. Struck by the peculiar ap.
pcarancc OF the notes, having rarely
If ever seen one before, and not knowing
anything whatever of their value, she pro.
ceeded to use thcm as plaything and pres,
emily hnng tn am into the fire, where they
were burned to ashes. Just then the faith
cr returned, missed the notes and learned
what had become Of them. In his fury he
struck the child violent blow which
stretched her lifeless on the floor. The
mother, who, was giving bath in the ad
joiping room to her second child, an infant,
rushed in on hearing the disturbance, pick.
cd up the little girl and tried to restore her
to consciousness. Her efforts were vain
the child was dead. She flew to the bath
in which she had left the infant. Another
shock awaited hcr-thc child was drowned
in its bath. The childless mother, distrac.
ted aud desperate, rushed out Of the house
and hanged herself on the branch ola tree.
The wrctched father, overwhelmed with
misfortune-his fortune gone, his wife and
children gone-scizcd a revolver and pnt
an end to his existence. The artistic
completeness of this tragedy gives it a Ger.
tain air of unreality, but the Hungarian
journals vouch for the exact truth ofthcsc
details.

A NEW INDUSTRY.-Thcrc was an cx.
portation of orange peel, recently, 200 sacks
having been shipped to Havrc, France The
value of the consignment was 81 900. In
quiry among the members of the drug trade
failed to show that any other expectation of
orange peel had been made fiom this port.
1t is the first instance of the kind, and is
more singular because the orange peel CON
sumcd in this country is imported and in
large part is from Southern France. Orange.
peel is worth about eight cents a pound
Oranges are SO plentiful in France, Spain,
and Italy, was well as in Florida and in the
West Indies, that the peel is stripped from
the fruit in large quantities and sold for
use in bitters and marmaadc and the juice
is used to make acids. \ dealer in this
city showed our reporter samples of the two
kinds of pcels most gcucr,lIy used. Oae
was sweet and agreeable to the taste, but
the other was very bitter and generally used
in the manufacture Of bitters. 1t is esti-
mated that about 20O, 900 pounds of oranges
peel was imported into New York last year.
The value of the importations in 1877
amounted to S5,927Sl, and in 1881 to S12,-
OS9.09. There is no duty or the article.
Florida oranges are used for chemical pur-
poses, but tho foreign fruit is preferred ~.

DR.. Jurie, prominent physician of vi
cnna tells Of two complete cures of dipsoma,
MIA effected by him in an extraordinary
manner. One of the cases was that IF an
habitual drunkard, who was picked out of
the gutter by the police, and was handed
over to the doctors treatment in the ''Cor-
rcction Hospital" for a period of fourteen
days. The doctor at once ordered that
every article of food or drink given him
should receive liberal addition of whiskcy
ofa not over refined quality. Water, milk
soup, meat and vegetables were all tre ted
in this way, and whiskey was even infused
into the air that he brcathcd through satu-
ration of the walls, floors and bcdling. At
first the man proclaimed himself highly sat>
isfied with his treatment; and said he would
always like to have such sensible physi-
cian The second day, however, he began
TO feel nausea, the third day he vomitcd i'm
mcdlatcly after eating, and thereafter not a
meal was taken that was not followed by
vomiting. From day to day he experien-
ced increasing torment, and finally begged
piteousy for relief. The result was that at
the end of two weeks, though much reduced
in flesh, he was filed with such repug-
nance for strong drink, that he was never
afterward able to indulge IN it again. The
other case mentioned by DR.. Juric was of a
similar character, and was treated by him
in the same way, and with equal success

A SHORT SERMON ON TOBACCO.
BY AN X.CHEwER.

And now is the kingdom OF Satan likeued
to grain of tobacco seed; which, though
exceedingly small in itself, being cast into
the ground, grew and became great plant
and spread its leaves rank and broad And
1t come to pass, in the course of time, that
the sons OF men looked upon it and some of
them thought it beautiful to look upon, and
much to be desired to make lads look biz
and manly, so they put forth their hands
and did gather and chew thereof and some
1T made sick and othcrs to cxpoctoratc most
filthily. And it further came to pass thae
those who chcwcd it became weak and filthy
and unmanly, and found that they were en-
slaved, and could not cease from chewing it.
And the mouths Of all that were cnslavcd
became unclcan aud they wcvc seized with
violent splitting, and they did eject even
in the house Of the Lord of Hosts, and the
saints Of the Most High were great Y dis>
turbed thereby. And in the course of time
it came to pass that the old ladies snuffcd
it, and they were taken suldlnly with i:s,
in consequence thereof, and they did sncczc
and sneczc, insomch that their eyes were
filled with tears and they did look exceed
insly funny. Aud yet others foolishly
wrought the leaves thcrcofinto rolls, and did
set fire to one end thereof, and did try to
look very grave and simple while the smoke
OF their torment asccndcd forever and ever.
And the cultivation thereof became a great
and mighty business in the earth Merchant
men waxed rich by the commerce thereof
And it came to pass that some Of tho saints
OF the Most High de6led themselves with it,
till even the poor, that could not buy shoes,
nor bread, nor books for their little ones
spent their money for it. And the Lord
was greatly displeased Herewith, and said,
"Whereof this, waste and why do your
little ones lack bread and shoes and books
and good religious papers Turn now
your fields into corh and wheat, and put the
evil thing from yo@, and be separate, and
dche not yourselves any more, and l will
bless you and cause my face to shine upon
you" But with one accord they all cx-
claimed" awe cannot Cease from chewing

philadelphia \ Orth American
The statistics Of attendance which are
published in the annual report of the Board
of Public Education for the ar ending
December 81, 1882, afford the means for ar
irving at a very clear and correct idea OF the
relative importance to the people OF this
city of the different departments into which
our publ school system is divided. 1t APP
pears, from the figures which are there
given, that the total average attendance at
all the schools throughout the year, exclud-
ing the sick, was 4,74S. Out of this num-
Der l, AS attended the various high schools;
the grammar schools attracted 13, 1877; there
were 81 ,f74 who attended the secondary
schools, while the pupils at the primary
schools numbered 30 fewer than 40,ll2.
| These are extremely suggestive statistics. 1t
| appears from them that the attendance at
| the primary schools is nearly equal to all
| the other schools combined, and that the
| pupils who 90 to the high schools form but
| an incons!derable fraction of all who receive
their education at the public expense.
! In other words out of 100 boys and girls
who go to the primary schools, only about 80
go any further up the educational grade
About 30 advance as far as the grammar
| schools, while not more than three of the
original 100 who bryan at the bottom of the
ladder ever reach the topand enter the high
schools The important fact which these
statistics demonstrate is that about one half
the children who 90 to the public schools of
this city enter upon their litewOrk with no
more education than they can pick up at the
primary establishments, while OF the re-
naming half 25 per cent leave school when,
or perhaps before, they have gone through
the secondary course. The moral OF there
facts is so plain that there can be no dis
putting il. Since twice as many pupils at
tend the primary schools as 90 to any other
department, aud about one-half of them 90
nowhere else, the primary schools deserve
and demand the largest share of attention,
and their efficiency should be raised to the
highest attanable standard of excellence,
though it should be necessary, in order to
accomplish that result, to curta some oil
the expenses of the other and higher
branches.

Randam for speaker.

The Baltimore Day is engaged in an earn
est attempt to defeat the election of Hon.
Samuel j. Randall, of Pennsylvania, to the
speakership of the next House of Repre-
sentatives, because his views upon the tariff
question are not In accord with those felt by
the great majority Of the Democratic voters
of the country. Of Mr.. Randall's failings
in this respect the Day says:
The Forty fourth House of Representa-
tives, which elected Mr.. Kerr speaker, was
a low-tarif House, and while It chose Mr..
Randall to fill the dead Speakers place it
had right to expect tnat he would shape the
Ways and Means Committee in accordance
with the views OF the great majority of the
members. He did not then do 1t, or in the
next Congress, or the one succeeding. Re
ceiving at the hands of this party the second
place in the government, at times when the
tariff was not the main issue, he knowingly
and wiltully packed the Ways and Means
Committee in order TO stife the voices OF
great majority of his own party. When the
tariff commission bill came up he Joined an
insignificant minority in supporting it, aud
when conference committee was necessary
to improve the new tariff bill in the interest
of monopoists be was promptly on hand TO
lend his aid, and, when the time came, voted
for 1t in opposition to nine-tenths of the
DEM ocrats who stood around him.
Should the tariff be the prevailing issue
in the Speakership contest, Mr.. Randall
will undoubtedly be defeated, by reason
of his strict adherence to the unpopular
pennsylvania idea," but the Day should
bear in mind that other considerations in
variably enter into canvass in which he is
an active participant. His able ser
vices to the whole country in resisting the
iniquitous and oppressive legislation urged
by the Republican majority of the Forty
third Congress are yet remembered, and
cause him to still be regarded as the chosen
champion of the Democracy in the lower
House. In addition, Mr.. Randall has
the knack Of making himself 'solld" with
the new members. He alone, of all the
candidates for the Speakership, takes an ac-
tive interest in the prospects OF new candi-
dates during the Congressional campaigns,
conters with them as TO their chances and
cheerfully tenders them all assistance in his
power, SO that when they reach Washins tor
their preferences naturally incline in his di
rection, and h is the candidate who has
their personal If not their entire politica
sympathy.
We are inclined TO think, therefore, thai
when the Speakership caucus is held, Mr.
Randall will surprise the Day and some
ether people, who think that because he is a
high tariff man he is not an adept in secur-
ing the votes of his fellow-members. This
is a case where votes can easily override
principles, and if Mr.. Randall, fguratively
speaking, holds the longest pole, he will
certainly knock down more persimmons
than any Of his competitors. We have a
sneaking suspicion that Mr. Randall holds
ust such pole in his grasp
