(Jovornor (Jrsy announces his withdrawal from tlie senatorial nire. He gives ss his reason the uncertainly as to who would be his bticrcfsor in Ihe gubernatorial cbair. If he was assured that hiu sticceF8or would bo a Uemocr.it, ho says he would be a candidate, and be lijvesho would have no seiiotis oppesi tion in the cftticus.

Tho Memphis Avelanilie thinks that ju-it now the muscular arm find an upraised hammer, the emblem of tradeeunious, is peculiarly appropriate. It is certainly true that strikes are not becom in,» leis frequent, nor do they promise to be discontinued. There is, however, one consoling truth lobe borne in mind. Tho laboring man, in this country, is not the illiterate savage that he has been developed by the li^id claas distinctions of Em ope. With energy, integrity and peiseverance, a reasonable degree of intelligence'and opportunity, the poorest mechanic cen become the peer of the greatest' in the profession which he chooses. Legislation iybe influenced, if not control'ed by (ha decisive action of any body of constituents, if it is sutiicieutly strong and united. It is this hope that impels those who are struggling for a just recognition of their rights, to wait for the sentiment of existing difficulties by peaceful methods. The history of the couctiy gives abundant evidence that such a hope is not without substantial foundation. The workingmen of the L'nited Htatea will never be forced fi7 the extremes cf l'"i sncli revolutionists. They have no ed to preach anitrcbey. The law, the billot, the republican principle oi' repi ssentation, theie are unfailing means w'lich, rightfully employed, will oiled ai.d have effected permanent, not temrary, reform.

The female school teacher is one of the peculiar and striking characteis of the tines. From the illiterate mistress of tl "Dame school," or the somewhat nore prosperous individual who received $15 a ^uionth and "boards round," it seems incredible that the lias advanced in the profession'until the public school system of a great republic is, a'aioet entirely, placed under her couti )1.

Hut her importance end prosperity are o:.ly nominal. To tlie patron or-the ibiic, she appears a gsy or somewhat late individual, exceedingly well diessad and self possessed, and at peace with all the wor'.d. This is, however, o:dy her external aspcct. There is cot a stale in Ihe t'nion where the igee of the most scholarly and etlicient woman teacher are not less than the wages of incompetent and inefficient men, aHhoiigh ail the discriminations are in his favor. She works an equal number of hours, has tho less desirable ]ositions, and is a subordinate, simply because nature has adapted her frame to the wearing of petticoats instead of troueers.

This could be borne did the butcher, tho baker and the candlestick maker al- ,g

even this poof iirivi'eg^ is denied her,

To begin with, her duties lif*.vB bs«N iacressed coniinually. The- puhi.3 school system has grosn out c* 5)1 bounds, beyond the wildest fiinoiea cf Its originator. To inBtiuction in the fuudaiiienla! princip'p*, ft course in scioace, theclajftics and Ligiicr mathematics lias been sdiled, and on top of this aro piled phytical and rncfal training, and an equally-extensive training in etit|'iette.

The public ecliool system of tc-day has relieved parents of all responsibility, except that of 6iipp!yicn the physical wants ol their cliildien, and the responsibilities of the teacher hive beer, corresponding iacresBed. It she who is blamed if children, t?)o are pupils .primarily and sons ard daughters secondarily, are rnde, vulgar, uulrnthful sno ilishonest The prisons i»d reform scbojia w« pointed out as evidence* of her incapacity, and sht is held responsible, almost, for the condition of society at largo.

That she rosy prepare heretlf for duties to grave and solemn the is pruned and pared aud polished by e»t-iy conceiveblQ means. The intlittile, the tcat:her's fisaci'.ialion, the ISKchtr's meeting, all consume the litlla leisure that needed for recreation »"d for cultlk rating He acquaintance of the world in which she lives. This develops 8 one-ideaed individual, a human mahills warranted to run in one groove, for given length of time, nnd which finally goes to pieces like the "One iloss Shay." Mr. ^'enable onoe wrote a poem In which ho described the skull of a nineteenth Ci'blury tear.licr, thickly tiiled with ftbstnne mathematical culcululiouo. He should re-write it and add tho ten commandments, the beatitudes, the leading propositions of civil government and political economy to the list, and tha more importsnt rules of deportment fioia "The Perfect Gentleman."

It i» one of the inoomprelienaiblo myoteiioi •t life that Toflio, who really could play ou tha violin, should dio, while thousands who only lo'.tnr.i tho oars of their unfortunate f.illuwnuMi should stiil eurvive.

Friday, the houee committee on public buildings aud grounds agreed to make a a additional appropriation of S28,000 for the public building in this city, i'his action of the committee is received ii this city with niurh ivor, aj it subisl.Htiliiil'y heltles the matter of an addi tioml allowaiKie. This samo bill was piV.-sed by the sen -te at the last session aud iu some manner wan held biu-k in the home, so that, it did. not

'Ibis bill will probibly be pas-ed iinmtuiaiel? woik will begin on the po!toflice on the openiDg up of Ihe weather. It will be remembered tha*, the origin .tl plans of the building called for a wooden roof tnd interior furnieb ings, but that later it was agreed to make the building ti proof throughout, thus calling for an additional appropriation' There is now $40,000 at the command of iheoOicials, hut specified reqniremmts limit the application of the sum. There is nlaa a special allowance of $U,000 for the construction of approaches and the materials for these are now ou the grounds. Said Mr. Havens, supeiintend till, this morning: "This additional ap propriaticn will not cover the elevator and clock which were contemplated, and if these are put in, another allowance will necessarily be asked for. The total appropriation now is $178,000, and when tho building is finished, tnat portion of tlio city in the vicinity of Seventh and Main streets will undoubtedly be much improved in appearance.

About two years ago the directors and congregation of Asbnry Church were agitating the construction of a new church building. A site was selected rd the lot was formally purchased by t'epositing a stipulated sum. Plane for construction were submitted, aud one sat in particular were very favorably examined. Hat gradually all discussion of the subject was dropped, and by agreement the lot was forfeitad. The gen er.d impression was that the church was delayioa building for a i.'horU period only, but in reply to |uestion on this point Kev. Buck! siid: "Atone time the congregation di.l think seriously of building a new church, but when the time came, it was fouftd that we were really not able carry out the plan, as the expense w.-s very heavy. Instead the auditorium in our preeent building has been com pletely overhauled, iemodeled and refitted. On lhase improvements from 61,500.to $2,000 have bsen expended. The church is in an excellent financial condition, bearingonly a small debt. A* if is our furniture is of the kind and ijiiality that would do lo plac9 in any (lurch, and if we should decide lo build iu the future, this expense will be cut cH.

The annual apportionment of the slate school fund has been announced, and Vigo county has received of this $24,1 bl .85. The estimated number of scholars for the county is 1'.,086, and the allowin 3nt per capita is $121. This is an inciease in allowment of $490.25 over that of l.SStl to an increase of 242 in the number of pupils enrolled.

The Terre Haute Coal Trade, al Trade Journal. There haB been no time in the history of the coal trade of Terre Haute when it hii8been more prosperous than it has bien this year.

AFTER BSBAKRAST CHAT.

Thsru a delightful piper in the last Atlmttc, '*The Pbyuogsomy of the by E, B. Sill. It embodies ebssr9ticc which must have occurred io everyone a nL-iared times, but which it has remained for Mr. Sill io present' in hia own interesting manner. It is, however, a physiognomy which lbs days present to a man, and a scholarly man at that.

They have another aspect to worsen who are rastlnrs and hon&efc^pers. 8und?y does have tlia tir of ojrquitiUt calm and repote which he ascribes to it it is also dislingushed as the day ii which the children are arrayed in their best, all round, and go trooping ofl' lo Sunday school and come troopicg faaok again. There are church services, and the day closes with anticipations of washday. Mr. Biil alludes to the "bubbly tab" of Monday, but he does aot mention the odor that rises therefrom, and permeates tha best-regelated of modern honses, nor the nidday laach io whioU are served the remnants of Sunday's feast—which h« also forgot to record. Tuesday has its odor of ironing! a kitclleii in which the clothes horse bears its weekly fruition of shining lines, with a luach having nifty of the characteristics of Monday's repast, and probably an additional dish of he kind that reqnires cooking over an "IroniRC day fire"—things that may be sfeQiheu for hours or roasted. Wednesday has as marked an odor of baking btt'afl, with perhape a spicy whiff of cake or mince pie.

Thursday is isitiaa day—the day par excellence for receiving aud entertaining. ft is the day when the housekeeper says "the washing ft-nd ironing are out of the way and I can do thus and eo." Friday, in all well-regulated households, is devoieJ to sweeping, dusting and setting to rights, while tha labors of Saturday ara enlicipatory of Sunday. This is tha phyaioguomy of the week as it appears, without donbl, to Mr. Bill's belter half. It Is not idealized, as his lias been, bul il ia a good, kind, honeU physiognomy upon which depends the welfare, physical snd spiritual, of society, and which entitles it to proper consideration and respect.

Tie sptctscle of women engaging io business, coming and going, with almost the same liberty lhat is accorded to men, must impress the Mongolian who comes to Amtrica, as an exceedingly strange ar.d unnatural state of affairs. They apparently account for it by regarding the American woman, not what her opportunities have made her, bul naturally superior to her Asiatic sister. 1 once saw a peculiar illustration of the high respect and esteem which a womsB fr thi? ??.rr rnn inspir^ IZ minds of a race trained to regard women aa one of the inferior species. One sum mer, while iu Chicago, there was auong my fellow-board^ra, a beautiful young girl about 20 years of age. Her home was in Cambridgejiorl, Massschusetta end, for smo ic-aron which 1 never learned, siie canto to (!i:ingo and entPrei the medical college theia. Not only was the beautiful in perj.Mi), but sildcJ to this were extj iiaile grace and relineme.nt with brilliaut intellectual powers.

She (graduated v*ilb tl'fi hip,best hon:Oi'?, and was given charge of the hospital dispensary, aad afterward a^)pjinted womau phvsicUn to the floating hospital for children. But she was offered a partnership at home which she concluded to accept, notwithstanding her encouraging prospects and rapid advaudeinentln the west. She was staunch Presbylerien, as might lis expected from her Puritan ancestry, and, on Sunday taught English to a class cf eight or nine Japanese. One of them was seriously ill with quiusy and when she heard of It 6he visited him professionally und soon brought him arouud.

There was very genuine sorrow among Ihe men, whon they learned that she had decided to go back to Massachusetts snd, on the day previous to that fixed for her departure, they called in a body to present' their formal farewells. She happened to be out and it devolved upon me to receive them In her stead. No Japanese embas sador and his suite, making a visit of ceremony could have been more strtely and digniGed, or more magnificently attired. They wore garments of the stiffest brocade, rich in quality aud gorgeous in color, and bracelets and bangles that filled my feminine soul with envy. The eldest and stateliest carried a large package which he informed me was a "Flams," which he requested me to present to Miss and which 1 did, an hour or two after they had taken their departure. The "flame" was a large certificate written in Japanese characters on parchment, to the effect that Miss had cured him of a severe and dangerous illness, with an Kngliab translation o' the same below. The frame proper was of Japanese workmanship in silver and ebony. Miss li is now a physician in good stand ing, with an extensive and growing prac lice, and I suppose the "Flame" adorns the wall of her private oifioe.

It seems a strange thing that there has never yet been a dramatisation that was in any way «omparable to the novel form which it was taken, "fclncle Tom," with its Siberian blood-hounds and trick donkey, with Legree and little Eva expiring in a stag* tableau, are about as far removed from Mrs. Stowe's conception of the story, as it is possible for them lo be. The sauie is true of the play that professes to have been derived from Jane Eyre.

In Meg Merillies, the vulgar bufloon that passes for Domiue Sampson of blessed memory, makes oue shudder over the "base uses" to which one of Sir Waiter's choicest creations has been brought. As it squeaks and prances and stares, ridiculous always, when it is not contemplible, it is about as much like the original as Mrs. Jarlev's wax works were like life. And yet liiere are, in all three books enough pathos, humor, and exciting incident lo satisfy the de mantis of the most critical play-goer. There is only one explanation possible, and that is that the so-called dramatisation is done by persens who have in mind only the soene-shifters and conventional and hackneyed "stage business," and who have not the faintest comprehension of the dramatic possibilities of the original work. There are, I believe, regular K-hoola now for Ihe tiaining of aclors. There thould be similar institutions for the training of play-wrights.

The Liquor Law in Switzerland. The temperance reformers will watch with much interest an experiment just entered on by Swltierland—or, at least) they ought to watch it with much inteiest. The spread of drunkenness among the Swiss baa been carefully investigated, and has been traced to the free use, cheap production, and adulteration of alcoholic spirits. Accordingly the federal government has determined to assume a monopoly of the sale of spirits. The distillers are required to sell all their product to the state, and strict regulations will be insisted on aa to the materials and methods of distillation. The retail prioe will be raised, and, allowing ior a certain tailing off in consumption, the government expects to secure some *.000,000 a year from the profits. From this $186,000, or 7} per cent, will l.« •pent by the Cantons in measu

measures to re- Uough Cure.

Tlio Old Time Bohemians, New York Times. Fifteen years ago it was the pride of reporters to be called "Bohemians." They were, as a rule, imitators of Poe and the earlier coterie of eratic geniuses, who spent an hour on literary work and two hours in pu&hing the social glass. To be able to drink with politicians and hold tbeir own with clubmen was as much a qualification for a reporter as to be able to write well, and indeed the grand centers for the news of the day were the bar-rooms and beer saloons, wbere the reporters gathered to meet the politicians and seeure items. Few of them had any home life- They were, as a elass, young men who lived in furnished rooms or ho els, and suatched their meals at any convenient hour wherever they happened to be. They were bold and enterprising, for they had to be so in order to succeed iu their work. They were quick and ready writers, brimful of sparkling wit, which dropped from tiieir pens as readily as the ink would flow. The offioe was their home, and the space system was in vogue then, as it is very generally now, there were always plenty of the boys on band at all hours of the day and night to respond lo the call of the city editor. No trick or device was regarded as questionable so long as the longed-for news waa obtained, and some of the means resocted to would have been ineicusible in any other business

Mrs. Gladstone's Eccentric Dreed. Harper's Uar.ar. Not long ago Mrs. Gladstone was visititig a country house, and tbe first evening* at dinner wore a black-lace scarf wrapped around and around her body in tne most extraordinary style. Everybody wondered st this amasing costume. Going up to tbe drawing room after dinner something struck sharply against the stairs at every step she took. "I know what it is." she calmly remarked. "When I dressed I could not find tbe waist to my gown, so I wrapped this searf aronnd me instead. My maid in packing sometimes pins the waist inside the skirt." And stooping down, sure enough it was the missing link of the costnme. Mrs. Gladstone retired snd reappeared, having laid aside her grotesque substitute in favor of the conventional waist, and all with the moat complete nonohalance.

JOHN SANDS' MILLIONS.

Tbe Hrlitiih Government Adverllxlu® for Heirs to Claim Them. New York World, January i.

Tbe British government has for a considerable number of years been enxious to find the descendants of John Sands, who came to America about the year 1700. Consequently a six-line paragraph was published in a Nova Sootia newspaper a couple of years ago announcing that if these descendants did not submit proof of their identity to the government prior to January 1, 1889. the property of John Sands, which waa valued at about $75,000,000, would gJ tC the crown.

The Sands family in this country had, however, known of the existence of this fortune in England, but did not appear to trouble themselves about it until the advertisement stirred them up. Now a nnmber of them are cultivating genealogioal trees and hope before the time expires to prove to the British government that they are entitled to the money.

When John Sands came to this country he is said to have landed with a shipload of other Sandses, at Sands' Point on Long Island, to which the family gave their name. A good many of the famil/ stopped there, but John aud a couple of brothers and sons went to the Delaware Forks, the town now being known as Hancock. Mis. Martha Busfleid, of No. 151 west Fifty-thirt street, is a great-grand-daughter of John Hands, and was born near Hancock. Her father's father, Benjamin Sands, was very wealthy, and lived in a big house there. Benjamin's father, John, lived with him, and every now and then great paintings, valuable silverware, and military equipments would oome over from England and be slowed away or go to the furnishing of tbo big house. When a little girl Mrs. Busfield would surreptitiously clip the golden decorations of some of Ihe uniforms and fix up her doll with them. She ia now in very straitened circumstances, having to work to support her two little girl, but she is prepared wilh her proofs that she is John Sands' greatgranddaughter, and will be very glad when the English government hands the money over.

One of tbe strongest characteristic} of the negro is to feign great indignation upon being accuBed, when he hss reason to believe that no proof can be procured, (Of committing a theft. The other day Colonel Billings, meeting old Sandy, said: "Look here, old man, can you find work to do?" "Oh, yes, sah: plenty o' it." "Then, why don't you do it?" "Uoee do it, 6ah." "Why don't you buy some wood?" "Does buy wood, sab." "Why, then, do you *teil my wood "Steal yer wood Wby, sab, I her stole er stick er wood frnm yer in my life. Look beah, colonel, I'se er member in standin' o' de church, an' yer's layin' yerse'f mighty liable when yer come 'cuain' me er stealin' uv yer wood.

Tha Oall of Raitlocnakac, The use of the gall of rattlesnakes is again warmly urged by M. Koscicky, of

The preparation the article for this purpose is described as ^uite simple thwe rattlesnakes' g.tlls are put into aa ordinary wine bottl* filled with spirits ol thirty digress, atad allowed to stand tfius for a week. 1 ordinary oases one or two tablcspoobfols tire taken, and, in extreme cases, thrert to six. it is thought that much might be gained in this direction by expariimtiU with tbe gaKs of other snakes.
