from his excellency. the Governor, that he Will
call the attention Of the Legislature to the matter,
when it meets in January. But knowing the po-
tent influence exerted by the press, desire to
second the efforts Of the Governor, in cause
which should appeal so powerfully TO human
sympathy. Twill not call 1t charity, for strictly
speaking, the establishment of an institution for
the class alluded to would be an act of justice.
since it is the duty of State TO provide for all

subject, with the request, that when the Govern

you will also urge upon that body the necessity
and justice of providing for the unfortunate class
under consideration. At that time the question
will be live one, and therefore appropriate for
discussion, and presume your city reporter can
obtain valuable data from the message OF Gov.
Bloxham, such as would be suitable for the basis
of an argument. But should you be unable TO
obtain access to that document, will take pleas

Mr.. Coleman, and all other friends of the I'M

warm interest, will see that the Governor has
called the attention of the Legislature to the
subject and has asked that the State Board of
Education be authorized to make provision for
their education from the common school fund.

IMPROVING WHISKY.

The marvellous capacity for dealing ef'
fectively with alcoholic spirits belongs to
Massachusetts,. A physician claims to have
discovered process by which newly dis
titled spirits can be ripeued, and made pure
and aged in few days as effectually as
by lying in cob-webAed casks in the cellar Of
some connoiseur for years. This process
consists of washing the spirits with air. An
air-tight tank containing the spirits is fitted
with coil Of pipes, at the bottom of which
are small holes. Thoroughly PARTED air is
forced and brought in contact with the spirits.
1t is claimed that this process denudes the
spirits Of all their injurious qualities.
The theory Of depriving spirits of their in
furious qualities by exposure to the air is not
a new one, although the peculiar process
here described may be so. A most efectual
mode of rendering spirits perfectly free from
deleterious poisons was long ago applied in
Massachusetts and other New England States
This mode is to knock the bung out and ex-
pose the contents thoroughly to the air by
flowing along the cutters. This remedy has
never been known to fail, and is better than
the new discovery

If the English Government claims that the

land by whom Burke and Cavendish were
killed, the men will be regarded as political
offenders, and may not be given up, but if
they are claimed as deliberate murderers for
the purpose of revenge, and proofs are forth
coming to substantiate the claim, there is little
doubt but that the United States Government
will carry out its treaty obligations.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR.

1t seems certain that serious symptoms OF
impaired health in President Arthur have be
come manifest since his return from the
South. He makes no illusions that denote
personal discomfort, but his manner is changed
and his face is expressive of much care and
WEAKNESS. /" He is grown corpulent," says a
late dispatch, :" and his cheeks wear an I'M
healthy flush" 1t is not impossible nor I'M
likely that the President is more than half
conscious of some impending fatal malady
that may yet provide the nation with second
presidential funeral within a single presi-
dental term.

food and many necessaries. Probably the
most unaccountable passion of which human

A FEDERAL TREAT.

Some member of the Pennsylvania Legis-
lature proposed an expensive reform, politi-
cal, moral and social, by putting the legislative
extiHguisher on an old and depraved custom,
from which have sprung full-armed abuses
without number. The expedent was entitled
the Ant-Treating Bill" But the full orbed
promise of an amendment in public morals of
such silvery brightness, faded out, like the
white light of the moon when an envious
cloud spreads itself across the empyrean
That is to say the bill was lost 1t was a
proud and high-toned effort to give the force
and form of ilw to the time honored Federal
treat" with which our festive Southerners are
not acquainted. The Federal treat has been
resorted to in the Quaker city ever since the
days when William Penn found treating with
the Indians a softer thing than treating them.
When the thirsty crowd mustered SO strong as
to shock the modern sense of the treating cit.
izeu, or derange his finances, he would say
blandly, "Well, boys, we'll have to make it a
Federal treat" and pay for his own. 1t was
this national and patriotic custom of the
North which the Pennsylvania Statesman
slught to clothe with the solemnty of the
statute, viz: every man to pay for his own
d lnk, or treat himself" which remained TO
prohibitionists as a sort Of mental reser-
walton Of the bill 1t was a striking in stance
ofwhat craftsmanship may fail to do.

UNITED STATES MARSHAL PITKIN, of New

Queen City, yet holds, and will doubtless
continue to hold while President Arthur's ex-

is an active campaigner, and will probably
move on the Democratic party early in the
coming contest with view to a prompt re-
newal of his seige of the Mexican post, which
he began under Garfield, in 1885.

to be prosperous and happy. 1t has learned
the art Of committing libel without offense, or,
if offensive, without the libellous element I'M

English maxim, "The greater the truth the
