His Thirst Was Very Precious.

Some years ago while travelling from
Kansas City to ST. Louis the seat in
front of me was occupied by q typical
cattleman and man who looked like an
eastern clergyman The western man, a
whole souled. genial fellow, after tell
ing his companion all about his western
ranch and about the business which call
ed him to Chicago, reached down in his
grip and drew forth bottle of generous
proportions
"Pardner, said he, there's the best
liquor west of Kansas City. Throw q
hooker into you and give me your opin-
ion''
The clerical looking man. though ter
ribly shocked, managed to say, Friend,
I have not drunk for 40 years. -
The Texan jumped from his seat and
exclaimed: Great guns I would give
$1,000 for your thirst. Chicago

VIRGINIA COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT.

SucceIsful Entertainment by the School of
Expression Last Night.
The commencement exercises Of Vir-
ginia College for Young Ladies begun
last evening with an entertainment by
the pupils Of the school of expression,
assisted by the Dalsarte class. The in
stitution does not confer diplomas in
elocution; but shows the pupils are pro-
fcient, that is, they have completed the
course Of the school.
The program consisted OF variety Of
selections, including humorous and pa
thetIc, all Of which were Of high order
in their particular line. Every number
of the program was brilliantly rendered,
and the young ladies acquitted them
selves with great credit to their teacher,
Miss May, as we'll rs to their own tall
emit.
The entertainment opened with

Dorothy Carr, who evinced careful
training in the art CT elocution. While
this number was we'll rendered Miss
Carr appeared to better advantage in
"Zingarella." which was one Of the
most pleasing Gestures Of the evening.
Miss Bessie Stewart In her selection,
"At the Itslisn Opera" gave q good in-
depreciation OF the sentimental part and
rendered the selection with much feel
ing. Her second selection. THE Two
Runaways," was much applauded, and
in its rendition she displayed versatility
and talent.
Miss Alta Fietcher's work was OF the
higher character; her first number
"Demetrius," was an especially tragic
piece, and 1t WAS recited with fine ef-
feet. She also gave very intelligent

USELESS LEGISLATION.

Both houses of the Pennsylvania
Legislature have recently passed by a
large majority "The religious garb
BILL" the ostensible object of which Is
to impose certain restrictions upon the
dress of public free school teachers.
Some of the Pennsylvania papers boldly
charge that the real object is to perse.
cute the Catholic Church by requiring
some sisters OF St. Joseph at Gallitzin
to make changes in their peculiar dress
inconsistent with the practice OF their
order. The governor, it seems, will at
once approve this bill, which WIS con-
ceived in spirit OF persecution worthy
OF the dark ages, when men were actual.
ed by the greatest zeal in behalf of the
church. The fact that this bill Is prob
ably unconstitutional, since it attempts
to impose o religious test for the hold
ing Of public Office. which is in
direct contrAvention of the constitution,
does not lessen the contempt with
which it should be regarded by right
thinking people.
The father OF the Democrat: party
the illustrioua Jefferson, considered
that his lasting fame rested upon the
fact that he WAS the author OF the
statute abolishing entails, the statute
Of descent. the statute OF religious
freedom, aid the founder OF the UNI
versity Of Virginia, and he willed that
these achievements be engrsven upon
his tombstone. No one who has visited
the grave can fail to be impressed by
this majestic summary carved upon the
large obelisk Of granite placed there
by Congress to commemorate the name
and services OF the man to whom Car
lyle's comment on Shakespeare could
be ftly applied: HE Is the gr eatest
thing that we have done" Every
Democratic Senator opposed this bill,
showing that the principles OF religious
freedom inculcsted by Jefferson still
obtain among the Democracy of the
keystone State. =
This measure marks the limit in that
kind OF bigotry and intolerance which
always reeoils with prodigious force
upon the hesds. of its authors. An
abuse OF legislative power by attempt
ing to prescribe the forms OF dress of
public servants. brings contempt upon
the government by weakening the
reverence of the people. Nothing Is
truer than the fine conception of Nepos
that no government can exist without
the good will OF the governed, and why
should that ingrained.. love OF religious
freedom. which springs from the deep
love Of liberty be abridged by foolish
legislation? 1t falls short OF it's object
and merely serves TO show the animus
Of Its advocates. But enough of this
wretched act, which is gravely defended
in the MONDAY deliberations OF the
Pennsylyania Legislature, hard by the
close OF the nineteenth century.
