BILL JONES, a colored gentleman
from Texas, who wears gold earrings
and is thirty seven years Of age, will
be placed on exhibition in Philadelphia
next week. Colonel Jones has several
pecularities. He eats glass and takes
laudanum and arsenic without those
delicacies having any apparent effect
upon him. Colonel Jones never secs a
lamp chimney that he does not desire
10 lunch OFF of II, although he has
never eaten more than thirty. seven of
those useful articles in day. He con-
tracted his habit of eating glass when
boy. lie then mistook thin piece
OF the transparent substance for piece
of ice and ate II, The habit has since
grown upon him and he now makes
glass his regular diet, He generally
eats his glass without any trimmings,
although he says that flat piece Of
glass between two pieces of buttered
bread goes well. The doctors pro-
nounoe him phenomenon and the
man who will exhibit him says that
he has never known what sickness is
Wethink, however, that Colonel Jone'
must have had great many panes il

SECRETARY WnrTNEY's views rs ex-
pressed before the House Committee on
Naval Affairs yesterday are those of a
practical man, who fully realizes the
necessity of naval reconstruction, the
magnitude of the work to be done, and
the importanceof entering upon it with
the least possible delay. To this end
no appropriations in bulk are neces
sary, but provision should be made for
sufficient yearly expenditures to make
the work continuous and keep the
builders busy.

The Senate Committee on Education
has made q favorable report on the bill
TO provide for the study of physiology
and hygiene, with a special view to the
effect of narcotics and intoxicants, in
the public schools of the Territories
and District of Columbia. The com
mittec states that II Is an attempt to
apply to the schools within Federal
control laws that are now in operation
in fourteen States. The committee
also very truly says that the bill Is one
to which II is difficult If not unnatural
to urge an objection II should com
mand the earnest support of every man
"who does not hate children and who
does not seek an opportunity TO trans
nit misery TO postcrity." We arc Of
opinion, however, that the bill would
be stronger and better If it simply pre-
scribed the study Of physiology and
hygiene, without particularizing the
object of such study. 1t is compre-
hcnsive branch of education in itself
and should be taught on comprehcn-
sive plan. There are many things OBJ
noxious to health besides whisky and
tobacco, with the nature of which the
pupil should be made acquainted.

ONE of the best and purest statesmen
the New World has yet produced is
lost to the country in the death of
Horatio Seymour. His public life cor
responds with the symmetry of his
private character: In all relations and
responsibilities he was upright and
honest-a man of broad vision and ex-
alted patriotism; but the sharp contacts
Of political controversy were distaste
full to him. His ambition for distinc
ton never became with him con-
trolling force, althoughhis capacity for
successful leadership was never ques-
toned.

A New York correspondent notes
that English customs are now ruling
New York society as rigidly as they do
in London; and New York on this ac-
count is becoming rapidly city Of
shops and big hotel 50 far as its
wealthy and fashionable citizens are
concerned The latter seem to think
that two or three months in the winter
are about all they can stand Of Gotham.
The remainder of the year Is devoted
to watering places, the Southern re
sorts and in many cases to the city of
Washington. During that time their
luxurious houses are closed and left in
charge of an army of servants in the
orthodox English style, you know.
