There has been large increase Of tho numhsr Of

September. when the Free Education act went into
force TIL. of schools advised the parents Of
tho scholars put into savings banks for the beneN Of
their children. the three pence per week shat had
previously been paid for the education Of each child
and school savings banks established to receive
these deposits This advice was followed by large
numbers Of parents In various parts Of England and
the banks have already been OF service In the city Of
Manchester, for example. more than 5000 &C.
counts have been opened In them this month. The

A Night Out.

People who happened to be walking In the
Fifth avenue above Madison square night
before last may or may not have observed
on the sidewalk small chain. stretched
quite taut and extending for blocks along
the sidewalk.
To many persons it probably looked like
wire that was down. 1t was not fallen
wire. Anybody who tripped upon it and
stopped to examine it would have found
that 1t consisted OF fine and exceedingly
strong links Of steel.
Was anybody curious enough to follow
this line Of steel chain. to discover whence
1t came and whittier it led? Tracing it
down the avenue. the investigator would
have found himself at the Twenty-third
street door Of the Fifth Avenue Hotel. In
the other direction the chain extended to
Thirty-ninth street. where it turned the
corner and was lost in the main entrance of
an imposing brick structure.
We are able to supply the explanation OF
matter that must have puzzled not few
pedestrians and policemen. At one end of
this little but long and strong chain was n
collar. and In the collar was a neck. The
clasp of the padlocked collar upon the neck
was not flrmer than the grip OF the mas
terful hand that held tho other and business
end Of the chain.
The Hon. THOMAS C. PLATr has no vote or
voice in the affairs of the UnionLcague Club
But II the Hon. THOMAS c. PLArr had seen
fit to yank hard from the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. tho Union League Club would havo
been deprived suddenly Of the presence OF
the principal guest Of the evening.

which had many points OF similarity. When
Lady BuRDETr-CoUrrs married Mr.. ASH
MEAD BARTLETT In 1881 she was OF the
same age as Mrs. HOPKINS nj the time OF
her marriage to Mr.. SEARLEs. or o. years.
She also was woman OF vast fortune. and
Mr.. BARTLETT was without money and
much younger than Mr.. SEARLEs. Sho
had been his benefactor. and had known
him from his boyhood. 1t Is reason
able to suppose that tho proposition OF
marriage came from her and not from tho
young man. who would hardly have ven
tured on 1t even II the matter had
ever occurred to him. He was poor,
and she was tho richest woman In Eng
land. He was young. and she was far
along In years and OF secure
and distinguished social position. Hence
the proposal must have como from hor.
She had made up her mind to marry him
and told him 80. and he obeycd. not after
tho elaboration Of Mr.. SEARLEs. but worry
promptly. ns VIZ understands: and we have
had no indication that either OF thcm hns
regretted tho union. Mr.. and Mrs.
SEAnhEs also seem to have lived In
entire coniugal harmony aud hnppl-
ness. In spite Of their disparity in age.
Her continued regard for him is proved by
tho fact thai she left him her whole great
fortune. However 1t may have been
with him. there Is no question about loves
having been her solo motive In the mar
riago. The argument OF tho contestants
IS. probably. that 1t was So strong rs
to turn her head. or that the very
fact that shs cherished It indicated an
entceblcd mind. Yet rs many cases In his.
tory and OF occurrence Within recent years
have shown. such affection for much
younger husbands has often besn exhibited
by womon "a old az Mrs. SEARLEs and they
have manifested 1t. rs she did. by shower
ing a wealth OF love and material possess
sions upon tho mcn they married. 1t can
not in itself DO taken "a an indica-
tion Of insanity. Was GEoRaE Eliot
insane when at 81 years she married Mr..
JOHN WALTER Cross. q man rs much
younger than she as Mr.. SEARLEs was
younger than Mrs HOPKINS?
The vagaries Of the passion OF love are
many and inexplicable. Much greater age
on the womnus part may provoke instead
of forbidding the passion. ns I'VE see In the
case OF lads whose first charmers are likely
to he much older than themselves. perhaps
old enough to DO their mothers.

Spectator, 28th March.

The variety of fever known as Russian
influenza has broken out in the United States,
and is almost as deadly as the cholera. In
Chicago the deaths have risen to- $50 q day,
while 10000 cases are reported from Pitts
burg. and 1000 from Cleveland, III Ohio,
Even in New York 100 policemen are sick
OF the disease. We fancy on the evidence
OF some recent publications, that almost all
the cities Of the Union are just now in q
highly insanitary condition. The enormous
influx of ignorant Italian and Slav immi-
grants causes excessive crowding, and the
erection of unhealthy tenement houses with
out proper means of drainage. They die like
flies, but the diseases which kill them also
weak their vengeance on the native popula-
ton. Some day or other, an American city
stricken with a plague will lynch It's Mu-
nicipality, and then for g. few years there
will be government by Commissioners and
a low death-rate. Afterwards the citizens
will begin voting again, and jobbery will
choke up the drains once more,
We published recently some terrible in-
stances of the cowardice of English crowds,
and it is pleasant to notice how bravely mem
Of the same race behave if they have but o
little discipline. It is evident from all the
accounts, private as we'll as public, OF the
loss Of the Utopia that the sailors in the
squadron behaved splendidly. Through the.
terrible gale, which dashed the waves of the
harbour into fury, so that one boat In par
ticular was dashed to pieces, the crews OF
some forty boats from the men.of-war worked
all night, saving the unhappy wretches who
clung, numb with cold, to the rigging OF the
wrecked vessel, One sailor who could not

passion Of pity. and was with difficulty saw
ed, while some sailors trying to save . mar

men are reported as actually sick with sYnae
pathy, q remarkable instance of the new
horror at the suferings Of others felt even hY

ell undisciplined, seem to have gone frantic
with horror and to have fought and rushed for

A TOUGH OLD FIGHTER.

Gray Haired Thomas Austin Does Up
the whole shady Family.
Thomas Austin. a little old gray haired
man, who boarded with the family Of
Nicholas Shady. of No. 80 Essex street,
was recently fined $40 and sentenced to
ten days in the County Jail for a~ssaulting
various members Of the Shady family.
. Yesterday Austin came out of jail in
search OF gore. He went to Shady's
house and commenced to kick mp a acket.
He was put out of the house. but last
night he returned drunk aud slept in the
hallway. About five o'clock this morning
he mounted the stairway AMI kicked
down the door of the room In which
Shady and his wife were sleeping, and
ordered them out. Shady slid on his
pautaloons and rushed out for u police
man. Austin commenced to rent his
drunken wrath on Mrs. Shady, who
ssprang from her bed as Austin entered.
Her eighteen year old daughter came TO
her rescue. afld Austin succeeded in tear
ing nearly all the clothes off the two wo-
men before Shady arrived with Police
man Murphy. He had also smashed In a
glass transom over n door leading to an
other woman's apartments. He still
showed fight when the policeman arrived,
aud gave Murphy quite a struggle on his
way to the First precinct station house.
He was committed for trial By Police
Justice O'Donnell this morning.

Fresh Air and Exercise.

BY all means take as much exercise
as you can. and be in the open air as
much as possible. Outdoor life is the
natural condition of mankind, and
the more one can have of it, the bet
ter. The practice must not be carried
to extremes, however. There are many
DAYS when one is much better off in a
warm, comfortable, well ventilated
house than trying to take outdoor *
ercise in a midwinter storm OF under a
July sun; and no one ever strengthened
his constitution by sleeping with his
bedroom window open with the out
side temperature at zero, or allowing
the snow to drift In upon his pillow.
Fresh air, sunlight, good and suffic-
lent food, pure water. outdoor exer-
else, temperance in all things ane a
cheerful disposition are the chief
remedies in natures dispensatory, and
are worth more than all the drugs and
medicines of the shops. DIR. Holmes
has truly said that if nine-tenths of
all the medicines-patent, proprietary
and otherwise-in the world were
poured into the ocean, it would be all
the better for mankind and all the
worse for the fishes, and the best
physician can do little without good
nursing, and thus aid nature in throw
ing off disease.
