AMAN named MCCoNNLL has been
travelling through Ohio, lecturing as
reformed drunkard. He was billed for
a lecture at Chillicothe. The house was
full, and he came Hpon the stage, stag
gering drunk. He appreciated his con-
dition, and announced to the audience
that he wanted TO demonstrate to all the
difference between man drunk and a
man sober. He said: "To-night l am
jubilant and happy; tomorrow night 1
will be sober, penitent and miserable. A
man feels rich when he is drunk, and /
don't want money tonight, and adm is
sion is free; tomorrow night / will feel
as poor as LAZARUS, and will take up
a collection of 25 cents at the door. In
vite all your friends to come" And
then the lecturer dismissed the audi
ence.

THE Young County News notices n
bill introduced in the legislature pro-
hibiting the whipping of pupils in tho
public schools. As general rule it is
advisable not TO use the rod upon boys,
but in large collection, such IA are
congregated in public school, it would
be difficult not to find half dozen
youngsters who couldn't possibly get
along without flogging now and then.
To remove the fear of il and substitute
expulsion, would be virtually to deny
some boys an education. II is one of
those matters that require discretion,
but to abolish it altogether would hardly
be wise. The education of the youth
must be practical, and 1t would be very
unobserving man who does not con-
stantly see pupils who need tho birch
as much as fresh meat requires salt in
the summer, aud just for the same pur-
pose.

THE Khedive expresses the idea in an
interview that GEN. GORDON is still
alive, and gives as reason for his
opinion, that he thinks Ell MAHDI is
too sharp to allow him to be killed. 1t
may be so, but he certainly would be
getting out Of the way most formida-
BILE opponent Besides, 1t might occur
to the Khedive that England would not
have even been as lenient with
him had he fallen into British hands,
as she was with ARABI PAsHA, who
was only banished. The Khedive ex-
presses the further idea that instanta-
neous action is necessary in order for
the British to sustain their empire in
Egypt. He says the tribes who are hes
itating will follow the bent of their in
clination, and go with Ell MAHDI whilst
there is the greatest possible danger of
those already enlisted on the side of
England now deserving to her foes.

For the benefit of papers that attrib-
ute selfish motives to the HERALD in
opposing the EADs scheme, this paper
reiterates that it. is in favor of deep wa
ter at some point on the coast of Texas,
whether at Arkansas Pass, the mouth of
the Brazos, Galveston or Sabine Pass.
The HERALD from the first said if $780,
900 would not effect deep water pass
age at Galveston, all the treasure of the
United states would not accomplish it.
The HERALD advised congress to appro.
pirate 100000 tor the purpose, and con.
gress, acting no doubt on tho advice Of
tho HERALD, appropriated Just that
amount.

THE Greenville Herald says "women
are the coming men" of this country
and favors giving them clerkships in
Austin. If the Legislature carries out
the will of the people of the state it will
pass the law. The HERALD is opposed
to what is called woman's rights, but it
iavors the employment of women in
situations where they can be as useful
and efficient as men. 1t would be a
burning shame to tho members of the
Legislature to refuse TO grant privileges
to women, just because they are women,
they would confer upon men.

AT a woman's rights convention, re.

presided over by LADY SWITZERLAND,
a resolution was offered and carried,
favoring law making II misdemeanor
for any family TO have more than three
children. Thelaw mightpossibly prove
good one In that over-populated coun
try. but 1t might work hardship on
some in prolific America where twins
are frequent, and with such a lady as
the one In Georgia who recently gave
birth 70 a quartette OF girls 1t would
prove nulity. A law Of this kind In
The United States wouldn't DO popular.
