The Hazard of College Training.

would rather my boys would depend
on three or four good papers, that would
not cost more than so year, than on
$50 worth Of Latin and Greek and algebra
and geometry. They will be of more
benefit to him in the practical business of
life OF course, if he is to be a profes-
sional man, he must study the sciences
and go to college, but it is a hazard-a
great hazard-to send boy to college,
and the reason is plain. Four years at
school and four more at college takes eight
Of the best years of boys life, say from
II to 20, the very years that his physical
system needs physical exercise and phys
ical training; the very years when his
habits of life and for life are fixed; the
very years when he should mix labor the
study and let his brain and his muscle all
work along together and sustain each
other.
College habits are habits of physical in
dolence. a college boy has no education
to work anything but his brain when he
comes away, and looks around for bust
ness. His physical nature abhors work
he can't stand it. His habits are fixed and
habits are as binding as. letters, and he sees
no agreeable opening except the law or
medicine or politics, and so the land is full
of quacks and pettifoggers and small poll
ticians who aft1ict the people and do no
good for themselves. These small. law
yers sit around town and watch for strife
among neighbors like buzzard watches
for a carcass. They nurse and encourage
all sorts of petty litigation. The doctors
gallop off to see a sick patient and keep
him sick until it takes his little crop to
pay the bill The politicians get up a
rumpus in the newspapers and SANDER one
another until the people don't know who
to vote for, and they don't care. And so
1t goes, and it would have been better, far
better, for the whole batch to have stayed
upon the farm and married clever country
girls and gone to raising children and
chickens in an honest and honorable way.

He was 81 years of age at the time of his
death, and was rendered totally blind at the
age Of Is by an accident while hunting.
This did not deter him from pursuing the
study of law which he had already
begun. He became an ardent stu
dent of political economy and an
intimate friend and follower of John
Stuart Mill. In 1868 he was elected profes-
sor of political economy at Cambridge, and
since then his numerous works on this sub
iect have given him an international repu-
tation. In 1857 he was first elected a mem
Der Of parliament, and always took an i'm

are that the tournament next week will be

English club at Hartford has shown the
Americans that they must do their utmost il
they would win.

MAINE DI>PATt HE'S.
FROM PORTLAND.
SOme Of the Strange Freaks INDUCED In
by n Portland Man.

PORTLAND, Sept. 4,
This morning Henry S. Place, a we'll know
citizen and man of considerable property,
suddenly became insane. His insanity was
for some time not suspected and he had time
to indulge in remarkable series of freaks.
He commenced by going and drawing about
$500, and with that in his possession started
for the train. When he reached the station
he asked an entire stranger to loan him his
carpet bag, and tried to take it. This was
pick pocket. He then boarded the train and
told the conductor that he would take charge
himself, at least for q time, and evidently was
prepared to take possession if need be. He
he (Place) was dead that his wife had pois-
oned him; that he was not only dead but
buried, and that his wife was on her way to
Portsmouth to draw out Sl20O, that he,
while in life, had deposited there. He added
that his appearance was somewhat changed !;
that he had colored his gray air and that he
proposed to make the acquaintance of his
wife, court and marry her. As soon as he
found his wife he would give the conductor
charge of the train again. Directing to hav.
ing his train run by a spirit of very excitable
temper, the conductor stopped it. backed
back and signalled for Policeman Haason,
who arrested Place, locked him up and the
marshal telegraphed to his friends in Ports
mouth. Place still sticks to his story that he
died from the effects of slow poison, but OBJ
jects to his present quarters and wants to be
allowed to look after his business.

A SUIT
PendinE in the United States Circuit
Court.

New YORK. Sept. 4.
suit has been commenced in the u. S.
circuit court to test the constitutionality of
the civil service Law on the petition, yester-
day, of the U. S. ex rel. Jas. A Hinkley, a
quo warranto. The order was granted BY
Judge Wallace, returnsble on the 25th inst .
requiring Dorman b. Eaton and other civil
service commissioners to show cause before
the court why the defendants exercised an
unconstitutional power.
The petition sets forth in complaint acts
and duties Of the commissioners in the civil
service act, and urges that the defendants,
under the color of the act, are limiting the
powers of and divesting the President of the
duties and responsibilities vested in him by
the constitution, limiting his power and the
choice of nominations to persons presented
to him by the defendants, and prohibiting the
said President from appointing any other cit
izen or person to Office, and so compel the
President to submit the qualifications and fit-
ness of nominations of persons for public
service, to them, instead Of to the Senate of
the United States, after the nominations, as
required by the constitution. 1t is urged
in the petition that the President
cannot exercise his constitutional
power to appoint in his discretion the defen.
dants under color of the civil service act,
supervise the conduct of officers of the gov.
ernment mentioned in sections llth, 18th OF
the act, usurped and exercised the powers
and duties which cannot be legally delegated
to nor invested in them by the citizens Of the
United States. The complainant then asks
for a writ compelling the commissioners to
answer by what right they exercise or claim
to exercise the right or power, or do the du-
ties, acts or things set forth, and that rule
be made that this information be filed. and
that the defendants show cause why the afore-
said information should not be filed.
