The Use Of Crying.

A French physician contends that
groaning and crying are two grand
operations by which nature allays
anguish; that those patients who give
way to their natural feelings moro
speedily recover from accidents and
operations than those who suppose il
unworthy in . man to betray such
symptoms Of cowarlice as either to
groan or cry. He tells Of man who
reduced his pulse from one hundred
and twenty-six to sixty in the course Of
a few hours by giving full vent to his
emotion. II people are unhappy about
any thing. let them go into their
rooms and comfort themselves with =
loud boo-hoo and they will feel one
hundred per cent better afterward.
In accordance with this the crying Of
children should not be 80 greatly dis
couraged. What Il natural is nearly
always useful. -Faym ard Fssssidc.

NEW YORK NOTES.

'Tis said that CoOgan would like an interview with John MacMackin.
 Good bye, Frankie ask Grover to in troduce you to Maria when he gets back to Buffalo.
 But few of the Socialist tickets were scratched, and those were probably voted by nOn-socialists. It was a straight ticket.
 We have fine collection of Coogan labor mems names, and we shall prob ably yield to the temptation to print them for record.
 The so-called United Labor Party votes have gone down from about 6S,000 to about 5000, and even that vote was the result of Coogan's purchase.
 One of Coogan's ticket distributors in the goth assembly district, who couldn't resist the job on account of the pay, went up and voted the Socialist ticket. Deduct one, therefore, from the total vote.
 The Southeast reports that it will cost each of the four candidates now running for Mayor of New York city at least $l09,000 for expenses in the cam paign. This exclusive of the campaign funds of the particular factions or par ties they are representing. Metropolitan office seeking is an expensive luxury, in which no poor man can afford to in dulge. And it will be so everywhere else drought the Union in the near fu- ture unless reforms in the elective methods are effected" One of the can didates certainly did not spend $100,0OO on the election, and that was Alexander Jonas, the Socialist candidate

Deeper and deeper the Tyrants lash
 tlayeth, Swifter and swifter fierce Misery slayeth; Tighter and tighter the grip of toll
 groweth, Nearer and nearer the dark ruin tloweth, And still ye bear on, and ye faint heart
 and breath, Till ye creep, scourged hounds, to your
 kennel of death; o down to the dust with ye, towards
 and slaves, Plague-stricken cumber- grounds, sink to
 your graves Love is the crown of all life, but ye wear
 it not; Freedom Humanity's palm, and ye bear
 it not Beauty spreads banquet for all, but ye
 share it not. Weaving your life-howers in Wrongs
 robe of glory, 4e stint in your starkness with hearts
 smitten hoary: o down to the dust with ye towards
 and slaves, Plague uestricken cumber- grounds, sink
 to your graves They have broken our hearts for their
 hunger, and trod The wine-press of Death with the grapes
 of our God; And ye lick their feet, red with your
 blood, like dumb cattle: An. better and braver to meet them in
 battle The bow that Tell drew hath lost none
 of its spring, But ye nerve not with daring the arrow
 and string: Then down to the dust with ye, towards
 and slaves, Plague-stricken cumber- grounds, slink
 oyour graves! There's curse on the MammOnites fiery
 and fell, Whose hearts gold hath turned into
 hearthstones of hell; And there's wringing of hands with the
 knave and the Tyrant, For Gods graven autographs on their
 death-warrant. While lordlier manhood meath Free
 dom's heart yearneth, Up now while before you the tire-piar
 burneth Or down to the dust with ye; towards
 and slaves, Down, down for ever, and slink to your
 graves

THE PEOPLES EDUCATION.

There are some of our news vendors who make much ado concerning their immense circulation. But let us see that which it is really an evidence of. If any person will take the pains to en- quire into the class of literature circu- lated by both public and private librar- ies they will at once have most accu- rate guage of the literary taste of the public, and will then see it's reflection in the demand for so-called news. Fiction and light literature predominate over all other classes combined, not that this in itself would be an evil; but what style, if you may use the expression, domin- ates in that sphere? l need not answer, for every intelligent person knows full well. And it is this perverted taste that our newspapers are mainly responsible for and to which they continually cater. Unfortunately, in their hands, the very instruments of light become genii of darkness.
 Before the gates there sat
 On either side formidable shape

 But ended foul in many a sCaly fold

refused to register his name, and the other inspectors concided with him. MT, Macdonald asked Judge Barrett for a mandamus. Judge Barrett said yester- day that the chairman had no business to ask Mir, Mcdonald to hold up his right hand,
 "The inspectors seem to think that man in order to affirm must hold up his hand, said the Judge. "l know of no law that Compels man to take his hand out of his pocket to affirm. This board must reconvene to register the name of this man.
 The Judge then prepared his opinion in writing as follows:
 "The inspectors had no right to re- quire the relatOr to affirm with the up. lifted hand. Nor was it within their province to exact religious test. ln- deed, every interrogation upon the sub ject of the relator's belief in the exist ence of a deity was an impertinence to which no citizen, in the absence of any suspicion of his truthtulness, should be subjected. A mandamus must be granted"
 So the inspectors had to attend to attend to their duty after all. But Judge Barrett's decision is of no value as a pre- cedent, for there might be suspicion of the truthfulness" of the atheist citi- zen who had not the push and determi- nation of MT. Mcdonald.

THE PEOPLES SUNDAY.

At the meeting of the board of appor- tionment on Friday, in the course of the consideration of the city budget. the item of $30,00O for the Metropolitan Museum of Art came up for action. The amount asked for was larger than that appropriated a year ago, and when the time came to vote on it Mayor Hewitt interposed: Il will vote that if the mu- scum is to be opened on Sundays. and not without" The mayors views on this subject, which he proposes to en- force with the authority of his office, are those of the vast majority of our citizens. They are right and essential to the well-being of the community. The bigotry that would compel people who work six days week to remain without the enjoyment of facilities for instruc- tion on the seventh day is happily a thing of the past, except among few of puritdnical views, who have a perfect right to square their own conduct by their narrow rule, but have no right whatever to impose their opinions as law upon their fellow-citizens. The trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art have. been too much influenced by this spirit of intolerance. But if the people are to pay for the maintenance of the establishment, the people must have their say as to their opportunity to enjoy it.-N. !. Sunday Mercury.

piled.
"But you can tell me why you stop
