Somebody once accounted for the ex-
cesses Of the French Revolution on the
ground that the nation had become in
sane, arguing that people may go mad in
masses as well as individually. This idea
appears to find confirmation in France
now, in the case of the prejudice against
doctors in the cholera smitten districts.
The explanation of the prejudice is that
a pamphlet written by a German, and
containing the assertion that oholera is
natures means OF Kidding Ike earth of
surplus population, and especially Of
that part not fitted for the struggle of
existence, has been widely circulated in
France, and that the people think the
views of the government accord with
those of the German writer. The doc
tors are looked upon as the agents Of
the government, and their object to en-
courage instead Of suppSess the disease,

Home Education.

We do not hesitate To attribute
greater importance tO home cluca-
tion than To- school education for il
is beneath Che parental roof, when
the heart Is young, and melted by
the warmth uf tire1itle affection,
that the deepest Impressions are
made; ii il at home, beneath par
ential influence and example, that
the foundations OF physical, moral,
and mental habits are laid il is at
home where lasting opinions are
formed. School Instructions can
never supersede the necessity Of
vigilant parental leading and tram
ing AT the fireside.
Good manners are not learned
from arbitrary teaching SO much as
acquired from habit. They grow
upon us by use. A course, rough
nature at home, begets habit Of
r0ughness which cannot bc lahI
aside among strangers.

In his inaugural address Mr.. Mon
roe said: "Our manufactures will
likewise require the systematic
and fostering care of the govern
ment. Possessing, ns we do, all tho
raw materials, the fruit OF our own
soil and industry, we ought not to
depend in the degree we have done
on supplies from other countries.
While we arc thus dependent the
sudden event of war, Hnsouglt and
unexpected, cannot fail to plunge us
into the most serious difficulties. II
il important, too, that the capitol
which nOurishes our manufactures
should be domestic, as its influence
in that case, instead OF exhausting,
as IL must do In foreign hands,
would be felt advantageously ON
agriculture and every other branch
OF industry. Equally important is
ii to provide at home market for
our raw materials, as by extending
the competition it will enhance the
price and protect the cultivator
against the casualties incident To
foreign markets." In his third
annual message he said: "UnifOrm.
ity in the demand and price of an
article is highly desirable 10 the
domestic manufacturer. 1t il Deem
ed of great importance to give en-
enlargement to our domestic
manufacture"

Amending the Verdict.


The train WAS just entering Erin,
Tenn, when we heard the sharp
toOti toot! tOot! of the whistle, aud
such passengers as looked from the
windows saw an aged African with
Al bundle over his shoulder straight
ahead OH The track. The whistle
was blown and The bell rung, but
he paid no attention, and all OF Il
sudden the cow-catcher picked him
up and flung him fifty feet to one
side. a gang OF men brought the
body to the depot, and among the
dozen OF us who stopped off at the
village COroner'sjury was selected.
1t seemed plain enough case.
The man came 10 his death by
being struck by a locomotive ON the
Louisville and Nashville Road.
Such WAS the verdict rendered but
no sooner was it ANNOUNCED than
the, Coroner obscf we'd: .t,f
"Gentlemen, return and amend
your verdict. You haven't said any
thing about carelessncss. l.fi

neer was blaneleS3 In tho case aud
the Coroner received us with:
every good, gentlemen, ~ far as
it gOes, but the man was probably
deaf, and it would be well 10 amend
the verdict accodingly."
We went back and amended 10
make the victim as deaf as hitch
ing post, but we were not through
yet. f .r
"You haven't got the name OF the
county in your report, and you
don't say whether IL wils a freight or

graduating ourselves on having
every thing ship-shape when the
Coroner put his head into the door
way and called out:
-"Gentlemen, amend your verdict!

And when we rushed out to the
freight house he was sitting up on
end and asking If any body had seen

The decision reached in one of the 190 cases of SC. called ''false traders" now before the United States Circuit court in San Fran cisco is interesting. The law of 1882 permits the landing of Chinese immigrants who come here for purposes of trade" It Is alleged that many hundreds of coolies have been landed. Finally, 1t was sought to restrain the landing of a large number of these sus- pected ooolies, and they were brought out of the ship on writs of habeas corpus. Pro. ceedings against the ship were also instituted, and it was argued that the acts of the chip owners and navigators were almost precisely like those of smugglers and other Violators of the customs laws. The court held that 1t had no right to detain vessels bringing 'false traders" hither, and that Chinese landed un- der writs of habeas corpus are not entitled to jury trial; such trial would defeat the purpose of the act of Congress, and the case
