Young Men to the Front.

One of the most hopeful signs of
the times is the formation of young
mems clubs, to make their influence
felt upon the politics of either party.
As n general thing these young voters
do not like bosses Of the machine
wire pullers, they generally desire a
reform in the conduct of public af-
fairs. 1t was the young men of
Brooklyn who elected Mayor Low,
who has done so much for that city.
Then the club members who did this
good work are disinterested, for they
are all pledged not to become candi-
dates for Office. The difficulty with
most of the reform movements III the
politics of this country is that the
leading reformers are themselves anx-
ious for a share in the spolls. The
voting public generally resent being
trieked into helping Office seekers to
secure positions by means of reform
pretensions. The way to secure the
honor and respect Of mankind isto dc
good without any hope who wish tc
follow the supreme moral law.

Judge Wyiie and si,, yurv.

Yesterday in the criminal court, in the
case of Bernard Neumeyer charged with
keeping an unlicensed bar, tho jury ter be.
ing out sometime sent word that they could
not agree, Judge Wylie sent for them and
asked what was the trouble. Tho foreman
stated that they were not satisfied with the
manner in which the case had been made up
and they thought the getting of evidence by
such means a nelarious business. Tho court
expressed Indignation that men employed in
tho detection of crime should be so treated,
and added that society would soon have
cause to regret it, The only defense in many
OF these cases was in the denunciation of tho
officers of the law, and he intended to stop it.
The foreman explained that the difficulty was
with tho witness employed, not with the
officers. Tho judge said the jury Of course
had the right 70 discrcdit witnesses, but they
! should not do 50 because thuy were employed
to get evidcpco in such cases. The jury said
lhoy would hko to retire and consider the
case again, but tho court under the circum
stances would not permit IL, and discharged
them.

THE CuAUTAUoUA CIRCLE.
How the "school at Home" Has Dovel

How the " School at Home Has Deyel-
oped and Biourished In the District.
1t was pretty and wise idea, that of the
Chautauqua Literary Social circle, and its
success was immediate, far beyond the fond
est imaginngs of its founders. Reports from
tho office secretary at Plainfeld, n. j., al
ready show that local circles exist not only
in the continental world, but even in the
isles of the sea- 1t is n school at home where
instruction is so mingled with social enjoy
ments that study has been robbed of its
aucient terrors and almost u "royal road to
learning" found. Tho idea has taken firm
root in Washington, and the growth and
influence of the e. l.. 5. a. in this district is
II study at once interesting and instructive.
Prior to October, 1880, there was no organ
lied local circle in the district. About the
beginning of said month eight teachers in the
public colored schools of this city, after in
vestigating the idea, concluded to join the
circle. With che exception of one the class
then formed will be graduated in June next
Many local circles have since been formed,
prominent among them being the Washing
ton circle, the Foundry circle, the Parker
circle, the Dunbarton street circle, the Ban
neker circle, and the Israel circle. All of the
Others are growing rapidly.
DIR. Vincent, when here last spring, gave an
interesting talk at Foundry church. \ union
of the several circles of the district was con-
templated to welcome him, but for various
reasons only q semi-organi2atiOn was brought
about. AS DIR. j. l.. Hurlbut, prominent
worker in the c. L. S. c., will conduct the
Sunday School Teachers institute at Congre-
gational church next week, it is in contem-
plation to perfect the union contemplated
when DR.. Vincent was here, and give musi-
| cal and literary entertainment in ono of the
central churches of the city in honor of the
founder of the circle.

Yes he replied, "more than person

"What particular inducements do you
offer man with such a fair paying trade ~
queried the reporter.
"Well, of corse, they are compelled to en-
list as private soldiers, at $13 per month.
