Col. Mapleson, the impressive impresa-

that grand opera is appreciated out West

We are not so confident that the Republicans
will not attempt TO make capital out of the
embarrassed condition Of the state finances
which 1t is feared NAV result from those de-
clsons. However, when we remember that
the decisions were rendered by tribunal
having upon it only one Democrat. and that
almost All the Republican papers in the North
viii be found applauding those DECISIONS we
are ut loss TO know how any party capital
can be made out of them by the Republican
party of this State. 1t would seem that the
boot ought to be on the other leg.

The corruption that exists in New York
is well illustrated by this conversation,
that took place in that city the other day:
A journalist asked a contractor of his ac-
quaintance: GLOW is it that dangerous
buildings are permitted to pass inspec-
tionW "YOu ought to know without
asking" he replied; 81 have never put
up structure in New York that l did not
feel was honest Yet it costs me about
S25 every time / have a contract to get it
passed. The fact is that all inspection in
every Departmental government operates
in the same way. The service of the city,
State and Federal Government is alike
hOneycombed with it. The people select
servants to look after the public interests
who betray those interests for greed at
the first opportunity. 1t is the history of
all countries and all times. We are no
exception" l asked him particularly,
with reference to his line of business, if
there was not a remedy. "You can stop
it for a WHILE" he said, elf, in the excite
ment attending such an accident as the
recent one, a guilty builder or two gets
strung up to lamp post"

PhYsicaI Culture.

se country is about to experience the
periodical revival of interest in physical
culture in common schools. Lectures on
the subject are being delivered in various
parts Of the Union, and it is Icing dis
cussed in newspapers, MAGAZINES, and
journals devoted to health and education.
All tho arguments and Illustrations that
have become hoary with age are being
repeated, and the athletic clubs Of tho col
/ leses are being SAILED and praised, while
almO numbcrless suggestjousa as TO plans
Of hysical culture are being made, many
of them evidently by persons who don't
Lnow anything about the subject.
Whatever may be said in favor OF or
agaiustatlle clubs, they are not with
out their uses. II is true that some Of
them have very Objectionable features,
hut valuable lessons may be LEARNED
from them whether they are conducted
according to the most approved ideas Of
prudence and morality or not. The prin-
cpol objections TO them are that they
generally tend TO encourage betting,
which eventually leads to worse forms Of
gaming. They also encourage Over-train-
ing, which is injurious, an they often
lead TO ineXcusable extravaganza.
Calisthenics and various other eXer-
cises which are intended for physical
culture have long been practiced IN
many educational institutions. In few
schools, however, have Judicious systems
Of physical training been adopted, just as
it is true that in few of them has the
mental training been adapted to the
peculiar and special talents and require
ments of different pupils. Every young
mind as well as every young body is
usually made to conform to an arbitrary
curriculum and rigid set of rules, and
no doubt the educational methods of to-
day are as far snort Of the ideal as they
are superior to the Dotheboys Hall
methods of the past.
1t will doubtless be many years, how
ever, before steal culture can be made
a part of nmon school education.
There are practical and economical diff
culties in the way Of the accomplishment
of this desired end which for the
present appear TO be unsurmOuntable.
Parents have neither the time or qualif-
cations necessary to attend to the physi-
cal culture of their children. The only
practical hope for the meeting of the
demand in this respect lies
in the establishment of special schools,
in which competent instructors shall de-
vote one to two hours per day to lectures
on the subject, and to exercises adapted
to physical development IN judicious
manner. 1t is not difficult to imagine
what influence such schools would have,
not only on the health and physique, but
on the mental vigor of the rising genera
ton.

TERRIBLE TALE.
An Old Man Defrauded of His Property
and Imprisoned in a Cellar tor
Eleven Years.

PITTSBURGH, February 26.-William
Jackson Moore, of Tridelphia, Washington
County, came to this city to-day for the
purpose of consulting legal advice concern
ing some property of which he claims
to have been defrauded by relatives.
Moore, who is sixty -one years of age, tells
wonderful story of privations and suffer-
ing. He claims that for eleven years his
stepdaughter and her husband kept him a
prisoner in the cellar, and
that he was not permitted to leave his
prison except occasionally at night,
when he would be allowed to walk about
the yard, bound with ropes. Some days
ago he missed his usual allowance of food,
which was passed him through a small
hole in the door. Hearing no sound
in the house, he determined to
make his escape, and with a large
stone which had worked loose in
the wall, battered the door down. His
relatives were nowhere to be seen, and
with money which he found in one of the
drawers he came to Pittsburgh. Previous
to his imprisonment, he says, he was
forced to make will in favor of his step
daughter, and on the day preceding his
incarceration neighbors were informed
that the old man was going to Michigan.

DESTRUCTIVE FLAMES.
Wellsburg, W. Va. sadly Scorched-Sever
Building Burned by Incendiaries.

WASHINGTON, February Plat 2:45 this
morning, after the performance of the play
''Victor Durand," by Wallack's New York
Company, fire was discovered in the
property-room of the National Theater
by the manager of the billiard saloon
of Miller & Jones, who occupy the front
portion of the building. The origin of the
fire was unknown. At half-past two o'clock
when the theater was known to be totally
destroyed, Manager Rapley, who is the
proprietor, says the insurance is about
$4,000, while the loss is over 100000. The
adjacent property, which includes several
hotels, can only be saved by the efforts OF
the fremen, who claim to have the flames
under control.
2:15 a. m.-There is hardly a breath of
air stirring at this hour, and the fire is
under control
WELLsBURG, W. VA, February 26.-This
morning fire was discovered in an unoc-
cupied frame dwelling on Charles street.
The night watchman first discovered the
fire, which was noticed issuing from the
roof of the building used as a kitchen to
the main building. Before an alarm could
given sra and nd people got to the tbat
was impossible to check it with the
means on hand, and before it was stayed
seven buildings were burned to the ground,
two of them being bricks and among the
most substantial buildings in town. How
the fire originated is mystery. 1t is evil
dent it was not caused by natural gas, al
though gas was supplied to the house
wherein the fire started, but was
not turned on last night, the
owner being away. 1t is said that
there was not spark of fire of any kind
in the building last night, and it is natural
to suppose the fire was the work of an in
cendiary. All sorts of rumors are afloat,
but when the people get cooled down the
truth may come out. No lives lost, but
people so exposed themselves working at
the fire, getting their clothing wet and
overheating themselves, that it will no
doubt cause great deal of sickness. Total
loss $4,000.

Congre gational ministers in Connecti-
