Working the Conductor.

"You can't open your eyes wide
enough in this business to watch some
people," said conductor on a car in
Brooklyn. there's hardly a day
passes, with all our watching, looking

fare she told me that she had forgotten
her pocketbook, and asked to be allow

"The next night at the same corner,

she got on the car again. When / went
to collect her fare she begged to be ex-
cused and asked if / would allow her
to ride free, as she said the same acct
dent had occurred as on the previous
night. | looked at her very cross and
walked out to the rear platform. The
next night l missed her, but last night
she got on at her regular time and took
a seat near the stove. When looked
at her determined to get the fare to-
night or she must get off the car. SO /

Educational Reform in England.

Education, writes James Payn, in the
L1dep, '1de1t, has for long time, as
regards the upper classes, been in the
hands of impostors and coxcombs.
Scotch schools for ten pounds year
have for generations turned out better
educated men than our public schools
for goo, and Of late the school boards
have shown how efficiency can be
combined with low prices. This
last development has put the great
educational establishments upon their
mettle. and induced them to consider
whether smattering of Greek obtain
ed In twenty years, and forgotten In
the twenty-tirst, is, after all, the high
est form OF intellectual culture. The
headmasters of Harrow, Winchester
and Marlbro have come at last to the
sage conclusion that twelve years of
age is quite early enough to begin
Greek, and that for good many boys
that tongue is a superfiuity. The
simple truth is that not one boy in ten
understands Greek. Unhappily this
act of tardy justice (and mercy can
have no Retrospective effect. Think
of the generations OF unhappy children
who have been tortured by that infer
nal language, and of the imprisonment
In summer days of which it has been the
cause. Who can give US back our lost
time and liberty infringed? i don't
wish to revive ancient customs of vim
dictive nature, but should like to see
the Greek grammar burnt by the COM
mon hangman in every school-yard.
Payn's indignant language might be
re enforced by quoting DE Quincey's de-
scription of the second Lord Skates
bury, man whose intellect was devel-
ed by classical studies alone, and who
was practiced in talking in Latin until
he became "the most absolute and un-
distinguishing pedant that perhaps
literature has to show. No thought,
however beautiful, no image, however
magnificent, could conciliate his praise
as long a. it was clothed in English,
but present MIN with the most trivial
commonplaces in Greek, and he I'M
affectedly fAncied them divine. Hence
he ridiculed Milton. Dryden, Locke
and Shakespeare. How much time
and money have been spent in colleges
to produce this pedantic perversion of
the mind, to create that love Of the ig-
norance of antiquity and indifference
to modern enlightenment which are so
common among the college educated
classes. -Buc hdnans Journal of

His ability and administrative ca
pacity soon attracted the attention of
the authorities at the Vatican. and,
after short apprenticeship in the rou-
tine of administration at Home. he was
sent by Gregory XVI. to assume the
Governship Of the province OF Bene-
vento, which was then in q state of
great disorder. The petty mobiles OPP
pressed the poor, some of them having
gangs OF brigands in their service.
The new Governor set vigorously to
work protecting the pessantry and re-
storing order, and the insolent mobiles
and corrupt officials were not long in
discovering that in the young priest

they had not only their match but their
master. He went personally among
the peasantry, inquired infinitely into
their grievances, examined their accu-
sations against the landlords and their
agents, cited the accusers and accused
before him, and sifted the evidence
carefully himself. He had, moreover,
sufficient force of military and police
to enforce his authority, and he used
them with rigorous impartiality which
practically meant for putting down the
exactions and expressions of the lords,
of the soil.
Privilege and property accordingly
took alarm. A deputation went to
Rome to impeach the Governor as "a
revolutionary ruler" who was under
mining the rights of property and of
the aristocracy, and setting class
against class. But the Pope had conf
dence in Pecci. and supported him
against open menace and rrivate in
trigue. One day noble who found
himself watched by the detectives of
Pecci called on the Governor and
threatened that if he interfered with
him any more he would go to Rome
and complain of the Governors con-
duct. Have you given the matter
enough thought ?" asked Pc ci. Ser

agree with you," replied Pecci. I'm
these matters one can not reflect too
much, and you will, therefore, favor
me by remaining here as my prisoner"

The Wonderful Prophet.

We publish the following riddle by
request, and will wager a ginger cake
that not onetenth of the Bible readers
can solve it:
"To be seen at West Chester, near
New York, n strange and wonderful
prophet, whose generation was before the
creation of Adam, lie was not the
Wandering Jew, nor the son of Noah,
nor the old Leyite, nor John the Baptist;
for he was certainly before them all.
1.-THE Scriptures make mention of him
particularly in st. Mark, St Luke, and
st. John. So we may believe that he is
no impOstor
Gle never lay upon his mothers
breast. His heard is such as 20 man
ever wore. He goes barefootcd, like Il
grave friar. lie wears no hat in winter
or summer, but often appears with q
crown upon his head. His coat is Meth
er knit nor srun, silk nor hair, linen nor
wooden, He is q teetotaler. He prefers
an humble dwelling to a palace. lie is
very watchful. lie sleeps not in bed,
but sits in singular kind of a chair,
with his clothes on. He was with Noah
Lin the ark, and was alive at the crucifiX-
ion Nearly all the world hear him, He
once preached short sermon, which con-
WINGED a man of his sins, and caused
him to weep most bitterly. Though he
never rides on horseback, he is in some
respects equipped as hursemen are. He
is an advocate for early rising, though
he never retifes to bed. His prophecies
are so true, that the moment you hear
his voice, you may know what is APP
preaching.
Now who is this prophet, and what
doth he foretell?"

Read The Death Roll

Which the bills of mortality of any
large city may be fitly designated, and
you will find that renal and vesical NAL
aides, that is to say, those that affect the
Kidneys or bladder, have remarkable
prominence--we had almost said--pre.
ponderance. Bright's disease and diabetes
in the chronic stage are rarely cured, and
gravel, catarrh of the bladder and enur-
esis, slay many. Yetat the outset, when
the trouble merely amounts TO inactivity
of the organs involved, the danger may
be nulidod by that pleasant renal tonic
and diuretic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which imparts the requisite amount of
tone TO the organs, without over exciting
them, and the use of which is convenient,
and involves no elaborate preparation.
Dyspepsia, usual concomitant of renal
complaints, and debility, which they in
varably produce, are remedied by it.
So also are constipation, malarial, rheu-
matte aud nervous ailments.

People who have been accustomed to
reading of the wonderful resources Of
the mountain counties, have doubtless
many times wondered why they are
placed in the pauper list, and people
who have read of the wonderful blue.
grass section as a stock raising country,
have been led to believe that there was
70 be found the finest horses and mules
in the world. Proof herewith produced
shows the latter to be delusion. We
confess that for long time we laborcd
under the hallucination, but from time
to time have tried to impress upon our
people the Importance of raising better
grade of stock. In an humble way we
have .ohdeavored TO point out to them
our advantages, over the bluegrass coun-
try, for raising fine stock. 1t will appear
from reading the following, taken at ran
dom from the report of the Board of
Equalization issued for the year 1887,
that our advice has been taken. Wolfe
county raised and reported to the asses
sor for 1887 better class of horses by
s6.4S per head than Bourbon county, and
Owsley county raised and reported to
the assessor better class of horses than
did Montgomery, the difference in favor
Of the former county being 1898 per
head. Now, if these reports are made
upon proper estimate, and we presume
they are, for every man must swear to
the value of his stock, it is clearly dem
onstrated that the pauper mountain
counties produce better grade of stock
than the pampered counties of the blue
grass, which if Systematically pursued
will soon relieve us of the stigma of pau
perlsm. On the other hand, if the re-
ports are not correct, somebody has re-
sorted to perjury and helped to make us
paupers. If pauper counties pay more
tax than those reported prosperous, the
reason Of our poverty is apparent. Read

A Washington special says: Speaker
Carlisle has not been well for several
days, and complained of feeling badly.
This evening while at the dinner table at
the Riggs House he was taken suddenly
and seriously i'll, and reached his room
with the utmost difficulty. DIR. Sewers
was promptly called in, who pronounced
the attack chill of the congestive order
aud administered the proper medicine,
and advised the Speaker to keep quiet
for several days, as he was in great need
of rest and his nervous system greatly
impaired. The illness Of Mr.. Carlisle
will doubtless prevent him from presid-
ing over the House for the next few days,
and he may BIO compelled to give up his
trip to Georgia, where he expected to go
Saturday to deliver his speech on revenue
reform. At l A. NJ. the Speaker was
somewhat improved, and the high fever
that he had early in the evening had
slightly abated.
