Many people seem to forget that

thing to put on ready made with wom-
anhood or manhood; day by day, here
a little and there little, grows with
the growth, and strengthens with the
strength, until good or bad. it becomes
almost coat of mail. Look at man

tious, yet clear-headed and energetic

works, plays, studies. and we will tell
you just what kind of man he will
make. The boy that is late at break
fast, late at school, stands poor
chance of being prompt man. The
boy who neglects his duties, be they
ever so small, and then excuses him
self by saying, Il forget; l don't
think?' will never be reliable man;
and the boy who finds pleasure in the
suffering of weaker things will never
be noble, generous, kind mana
gentleman.

The Democratic papers are talking a
great deal about Republican frauds in
Ohio, and are loudly abusing the guard
OF United States deputy marshals who
prevented the Democrats from carry
ing out their contemplated scheme of
putting thousands of fraudulent votes
into the ballot boxes of Cincinnati
alone. But so far, despite repeated
challenging, they have been unable to
cite single instance where Repub-
llcan voted fraudulently or where a
Democratic voter was prevented from
voting. On the other hand, hundreds
of Republican voters were arrested
and kept in prison till the polls closed
election day, by Democratic police and
deputy sheriffs, simply to prevent
their voting by this audacious act of
violence then released without
giving any reason or apology for the
arrest. One of the vital issues of the
pending election is to teach the Demo
cratic party that the Missis-
sippi plan won't work in the
north. They are making abundant
preparations to try it on at Chicago
and elsewhere. But there are freemen
enough in this northern country to take
care of their liberties and of the men
who shall attempt to meddle with them
too obtrusively.

Mr.. Conkling's Position.

Utica, N. T., correspondence: Some
interest is occasionally manifested to
know where Roscoe Conkling stands
IN the pending Presidential contest.
Persons who are friendly to the dis
tinguished statesman, and who might
be supposed to know the general drift
OF his opinions say that he is taking no
part whatever in the struggle either
directly or indirectly, and that he utters
the precise truth when he declares that
he is wholly out of politics.
Therefore, it is matter of course
that he is not manevuring to return to
his old seat in the Senate, which
Lapham occupies, but does not fill.
All, this, however, does not prove
that Mr.. Conkling's retirement from
politics is to be perpetual Far from
it. No doubt he is now out, but it by
no means follows that he will not here.
after go in. He will let anybody make
fight for the Senate next winter with
out molestation from him. He will
not be ready for the contest then. He
will not return to public affairs till he
has made himself permanently indie.
pendent in pecuniary sense.
1t will not be forgotten that Warner
Miller's term expires on March 3, 1887.
Roscoe Conkling may be prepared to
enter the political arena two years
hence with his eye on the Senatorial
chair where Miller now sits.
Mr.. Conkling's present retirement
from politics leaves the Stalwarts in
the state at full liberty to act as they
please, and, judging from appearances
hereabouts, there seems to be no ques-
ton but that they will support Blaine
unanimously, though probably not as
enthusiastically as the Half Breeds.

RICH DOCTORS.
A Modest Fee for Curing q Sick
POpo.


The British Quarterly Review:
Enormous sums of money would be
amassed by celebrated doctor in the
days of academic prosperity. 10 re-
tain his services university would
give him almost any terms he liked to
ask. Taddeo, of the Florentine univer-
sity, VILLAIN tells us, was the most
reputed medical man of his day. He
was deemed second Hippocrates and
summoned by the rich to all parts of
Italy. The pope fell ill and sent for
him. When asked his fee Taddeo
claimed 100 ducats day, at which the
invalid pope demonstrated. Taddeo
was irm, told stories of what large
sums other princes had given him, and
limited at stinginess on the part of his
holiness. The pope recovered from
his sickness, and, ''to purge from him
self all suspicion of avarice," he sent
Taddeo no less than 10000 ducats. The
doctor was man of pious intent, and
spent this splendid fortune on the cree
ton of a church.
The university of Modena gave
Suzzara $3.50 lire and piece of land
in their district on condition that he
would live among them for his life.
Suzzara accepted the gifts, but the an
nails of his life show that he did not
stick to his part of the bargain, for he
wandered from place to place
amassing wealth, and died far away
from Modena. Suzzara was man who
extremely loved dress, great professor
though he was. He is reproachfuDy
alluded to by a fellow-doctor thus:
.'Men of science should not go about in
silken robes covered with colorcd en-
broidery, such as Suzzara used to
wear" Again, Prof. Boldo spent Il
wandering life in spite OF an oath to re-
main in one university. He taught for
thirty-eight years in his native Perugia-
and then passed six years at the Florcn-
tine university: from thence he went
for three years to Bologna, for one to
Pisa, for three to Padua, and for ten to
Pavia, where he died worth large sum
of money.
This moving to and fro was a curious
feature in Italian university life, for
not only did the professors travel, but
they were followed by most of their de-
voted scholars who at the time were
being instructed by them; thus the de-
parture of celebrated professor meant
a regular exodus from the place they
left and signal for great rejoicings
when they arrived at their proposed
destination. Not only the cities but
the popcs and cmperors gave to the
professors large gifts-to our friend

XXI. gave feud;il estatc-and in

Bad Company.

The danger Of keeping bad company
generally arises from our aptness to
initiate and catch the manners and sem
timents of others. In our earliest
youth the contagion of manner is oh
servable in the boy yet incapable Of
having any learning instilled into him.
we easily discover from his first actions
and rude attempts at language the
kind of persons with whom he has as
ISOLATED; we see the early spring of
education. or the first wild shoots OF
rusticitv; and as he enters further into
his life, his behavior and conversation
take their cast from the company he
keeps. Observe the peasant and the
man of education-thc difference is
striking. Yet God has bestowed equal
talents upon each; the only difference
is they have been placed in different
scenes of life, and have had intercourse
with persons Of different stations.
Manners and behavior are not more
easily caught than opinions and prin-
ciples. In childhood and in youth we
naturally adopt the sentiments of those
above us; as we advance in life, how
few of us think for ourSclves-how
many of us are satisfied with taking
our opinions at second hand. The
great power of custom forms another
argument against bad company: how
ever shocked we may be at the APP
proaches OF vice, like the novice in the
battlefield who trembles at the first en-
counter, in a few campaigns habit
renders danger familiar.
But habit which is intended for our
good may, like other appointments of
nature, be converted into mischief
The well disposed youth first entering
bad company is shocked at what he
sees and what he hears: the good prin-
ciples which he has imbibcd ring in his
ears an alarming lesson against wick
edncss of his companions. But alas.
this sensibility is of short continuance.
The next jovial meeting makes the
horrid picture of yesterday more easily
endured: virtue is soon thought 4
severe rule and restraint announcement;
a few pangs Of conscience now and
then whisper to him that he once had
better thoughts: but even these by de-
grecs die away, and he who was
shocked by appearance of vice is
formed by custom into profigatc lead
er of vicious pleasures. 50 carefully
should we oppose the first approaches
to sin, so vigilantlv should we guard
against so insidious an enemy.

There is evidence in the full returns

There is evidence in the full returns
from Ohio of the intensity of the fight
there made, and its trustworthincss as
a test of public feeling in the nation at
large. The popular vote is beyond all
precedent. 1t was thought that high
water mark had been reached IN 1880,
but comparison shows that the vote
this year was not only absolutely but
relatively fuller than that of four years
ago. The population of Ohio in 1870
was 1865, 26O; in 1880 it was 3,19s, O62,
an increase of precisely 20 per cent, or
3 per cent year. On the supposition
that it has increased at the same rate
in the tour years since the census, it
would now number 3, 453,906 But the
total vote at the October election of
1880 was 71S, 1S6; that is, it was to the
population as l is to 4,453. On the
same ratio. supposing the population
to-day to be estimated above, and it is
probably rather under than above that
figure, the total vote would have been
S75,635. Instead of that it is 7S0.373,
an excess of nearly 5000 above the cs-
innate, in comparison with the most
exciting October election ever prcvi-
Qusly known in the state, when one of
its own citizens was to be voted for as
President in November. If the total
vote signifies intense popular interest,
the vote for Cogressmen is an index of
public opinion on national issues. In
1880 the Republicans, in the full tide of
success, and with the control of Con-
gress in no way doubtful, obtained in
all the Congressional districts of the
state an aggregate plurality of 22,4S5
Republican Indifference to the claims
of civil service and tariff reform, which
permitted the Democrats to sweep the
country in 1882, gave them an aggre-
gate plurality in the several districts of
20,424. Again the figures are reversed
this year, and the Republican plurality
is over $4,000 according to returns thus
far received. 1t is a particularly cheer
full showing, not only as to the opinion
of the country upon the question of the
Presidency, already measurably re-
moved beyond doubt, but as to its in
tention to replace the present insincere
and inefficient Democratic Congress
with a Republican successor.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Oct. 23.-1n the case of the
National Bank of Augusta against Robert E.
Cunningham for the payment of note for
$500. given by the defendant to Warren,
Wallace 4 Co., and discounted by the National
bank, based, it is alleged, upon futures in cot
ton, a note being given by Cunningham to cora
mission merchants to cover margins, the court
charged that if the transaction was speculation
in futures the note was void in the hands of all
the parties, whether innocent holders or other
wise. The jury found for the defendant. In
delivering the opinion Justice Blandford
speaks of faro and poker as tame, gentle, sub
missye animals compared to this monster of
future speculation. which he characterizes as a
ferocious beast allowed to stalk about in open
midday with gildcd signs and flaming adver-
tisements to allure unhappy victims to its EN-
brace of death and obstruction.
