"Windom, like John Sbcbmas, while Secretary of the Treasury, joined in with the Na tional Bank league against the people, and his defeat is strictly in keeping with the ternal fitness of thing. No wonder the old folks think the present way of rearing children is loose and risky-. Here is an inventory of a fourteen-jear-old boy's stock captured the other day in Providence, R. L, viz.: A big pistol, gimlet, a pair of scissors, a tallow candle, a Police Gazette, and some novels with such title as "The Wharf Rat's Revenge," and "Connoneer Ben, or the Pirate's Last Shot" "His intention was to commit a few ordin ry robberies at home and then start out for -.greater achievements in the far West. Wonder what the old Puritans would have thought of the outfit? LEADER AND BOSS. There is much talk nowadays about political leaders and political bosses. The American idea is to elevate by education, to n extent, that every citizen shall be his own leader and his own boss. This done, the American people will be sovereigns, and not until then will the divine right to ehape -events shine forth in all its majesty; not until then will the Government be of the people, by the people and for the people. The leader and boss idea is tribal, to be traced back to savagery. In rescuing it from its Jungle home designing men have crowned it and made it kingly in power. As a result, the wrld is cursed by the claim set up by the few of a "divine right" to rule over the many and the many, prefering to live slaves rather -than die freemen, crawl in the presence of their self-constituted superiors. The American idea Is that all naen sire born equal. Strike down that idea and atway goes the Republic The American idea is in eternal antagonism to man worship nd boss rule. To hear men designate certain individuals as leaders, whose word is law and who must be followed with a blind devotion that distinguishes the movements 4f gregarious beasts and birds, is an insult to intelligence, an affront to sovereignty, a disgrace to manhood, and -can not be tolerated without producing an ever increasing har. Teat of National humiliations. In Russia Ihe ßuexy is, what does the Czar say? He is leader and boss combined. In Germany Bismarck is leader and boss. It would be asy to extend the list -of countries where .leader and bosi are everything and the people ovhing im shaping the affairs of orernment. In such countries the laws create the leaders and the bosses, and the people submit perforce. The people of the United States often bewail the condition of down-trodden millions who are crushed And cursed by the despotic power of ''divine" rulers and bosses, while they themselves are scarcely les8abject,and of their owb Ire will laH into line under leader and boss domination,, with an obedience as servile as vei distinguished a serf. Daily reference is made to leadership in the Congress of the United States. In the Senate aniin the Horn certain men are decignated as leaden. These leaders have their bostes. Other 8enartors and Representatives, discarding their peerage, blindly follow the loader, or if they give signs of nobility of soul, independence of thought, tbea the bosses . come to the front to bring th recalcitrating a embers to tecma. There -ougbt to 'be, doubtless, a recogtized difference Detween leader and boss, j cat as there is aeecogaked difference between wiad and - wisdom, gnat and girad, but the terms have becoae intesehangable to a large degree And ara cow regarded a practically -eynony-noc..

Those who discuss educational affairs tell c that the hope cl the country isla the school; that rising generation

must be eduated op to a plane where inJependct ce of thought will be the felory of the country, and this accomplished, boss rule will disappear. If the theory is correct, and we cenfres it appears plausible, the l chool . will be worth a'l it costs. If independence is to be the Nation's boast it must bs so in

It occurs to us that it is always in order for legislator j Tto discuss questions relating to public health. Wise sanitary regulations will always be proper la communities where intelligent people control public affairs, and the more such matters Jare discussed the mors popular they become, llitherto no very nigh estimate has been placed on human life. Organizations for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Animals,.-including cats, dog and tunica, are among the benevolent enterprises of the age, and some little headway has been made designed to promote the well-being of human beings, bat propositions which relate exclusively to the preservation of the health and the lives of the peopie generally have not hitherto been regarded of sufficient importance to command stringent legislation. But as there are evidences cropping out on all sides that a new departure is at hand, hope revives. In this connection it is worthy of remark that there is a bill now before the Legislature of this State designed to 1m prove the "art or practice of preparing, Dreservins and compounding substances a v for the purpose of medicine," the science or knowledge of drugs. If the bill becomes a law it is safe to say that pharmacy in In diana will be greatly improved, and thereby create? security will surround the health and the lives of our people. A "pharm copohst is one who sells medicine an apothecary" and it is just here that another question arises worthy of special consider tion. We quote from an Eastern paper: A Western medical journal, in an editorial that has caused a rlpDle of discussion on the usually placid surface of professional journalism, haa just raised a question of importance to the public as well as to the practictioner and the druggist who compound his prescription. The question may be stated as follows: When a druggist follows the terms of the trecriptlon, and an accident happens from want of the necessary directions on the lafcei of the toltle or box, who is responsible therefore? In order to understand the issue aright it must be premised that many physicians au in the habit of giving verbal directions to the patient or his attendants as to the dose to be taken and the manner in which the medicine most be used, and that, in view of this practice, druggists often put on the label the simple words. "Use as directed' in place of tie more explicit instructions as to dose, etc.. which are necessary to prevent the possibility of accident When the compound is a potent one, containing strong stimulant or narcotic poisons. the questions that arise are whether the apotbe cary is justified ia assuming that explicit direc tions have bee a given by the medical attendant, whether it is not his duty to refer the prescription to the physician for information before putting it up, and who is responsible if a death occurs. Undoubtedly it Is the doctor's duty to add to his prescription express directions as to the manner of using the medicine, so that the druggist may append them to the label. But, suppose he neg lects this obvious duty and relies upon verbal In strucuons, must the druggl t take the precaution to inquire into the matter, or may he put up the prescription and leave the consequences to te averted b7 an overruling Providence? It will occur to a good many people that those who hang out the sign of "physician" should be able to famish druggists with prescriptions exactly suited to the case, and that there should be no divided responsi biuty in the matter, The subject is sug gestive of the multiplied dangers to com munities which center in medical quackery. It is said that Vsome of the quantity signs used in writing prescriptions are very nearly alike. 8uppose, in haste or careless ness, the doctor writes the wrong sign and thus f rescribea a quantity of morphia or veratrum viride whicn the apothecary knows would be fatal if given in the doses indi cated, k the latter to accept the responsi bility of delivering the compound withoat asking the doctor what he meant? Cases of this kind sometimes occur, and it is the custom of careful druggists, when in doubt. to refer -the matter to the medical attendant. Lives have frequently been saved by this precaution; but it may happen that the prescription clerk is incompetent or careless and puts np the compound, labels and de livers it, without being aware of the danger or stopping to think of the consequences." It may be said if the druggist is as thor oughly informed as he ought to be, the carelessness of the doctor will not be permitted to result in the death of his patient, bat suppose the druggist is as careless as the doctor and an overdose of morphia, vera trum or seme other deadly drug is adminis tered in consequence, who is resDonsible? Possibly both doctor and druggist. But doctors and druggists have no right to be ignorant nor careless, and legis lators of the various States should enact laws which no longer leave the qiestion rl responsibility in doubt. Quack doctors are a dangerous nuisance. They are usually raen who have the gift of gab wonderfully developed, and are thereby well calculated to impose upon communi ties. They look wise and talk learnedly, but they are ignorant nevertheless. People to whom they are known avoid them; those only who are unacquainted with their incapacity become the victims of their quackery. Legislation which will rid the State of such pests will meet with unqualified ap probation. AD now comes another trouble with wonderful capacities for development in ibh country. We refer to the business of kidnaping millionaires for the purpose of rtnsoms. The matter has been brought to tka attention of Wit. William II. Vanderbilt, and, notwithstanding that distinguished representative of bullion and bonds, watered stoci.3 and wealth, pleasure and palacea, treated it with seeming indifference, it evi dently made an impression on his mind and infiaeooed his action. It is acid that an an ticipated trip across the continent has been Abandoned. True, bad weather is assigned jm the reason, but the possibility of being kidnaped evidently had something to do ih the Lange of programme. ILr. Vanderbilt is credited with saying to a reporter, who suggesting the possibilities of kidnapisr; "Now. as to the ransom butlaeBS it is simply Impossible. Why, they couldn't kidnap me if thf " wanted to. No one knows five rninutes ahead where I am going to b?. I hare got things bo flicd that I am go in any direction at any moment, so you jee they could hardly Uj any trap for me."

men are sovereigns nuna iorces aoouia ot

Evidently Mr. Vanderbilt has anything but a correct opinion of the ways and means

that could be made available to compel him to pay a cool million as a ransom ; and it may be that, in the near future, when mill ionaires go out for an airing they will be required to take along a body guard to keep body snatchers at a respectful distance. PERSONAL ASD OOEBAL, Mr. He5y J. PHiixrorr, of the Iowa State Leader, the prime mover la the free trade movement of that State, has organized a State League In MiMOvri. aad U planning one In Kansas. Thebk are twenty Greeks in Chicago, hence when they meet there are ten tup of war. The Secretary of the Navy should buy up those tugs of war without delay, and then we would have a Navy Texas Sittings. Pbtce Bism abck keeps a diary. We have carefully conned it, but can find no allutdon to the fact that a rasn butcher once named a stusage alter him. It is evidently a missing link in the Prince's autobiography. Texas Sittings. ruiN'cx Bis s a eck is a man of mark in the world, but along with his fame and honors Provi dence has sent hitn terrible turns of neuralgia. nil shooting piins are hardly compensated by his power and greatness. No doubt there are times when he would like to swap places with a hardy wood-aawyer. Last year 2G3 divorces were granted In St. Louis, eighty-seven iu favor of husbands and 176 in favor of wives; and f the whole number of decrees no fewer than 243, or more than cineten tha, were granted ty default to the plaintiff. It would fee interesting to know in tew many cases the defendant knew nothlug about the ap plication. Tueri is a widespread interest in the coming esqul-centennial celebration of the founding of Georgia, not only In that State but in the neigh boring commonwealths. The News cf Savannah urges that the pro pot al originally made to have the celebration extend over two days, February 12 aad 13, be accepted, as it will be impossible to carry out the programme successfully in one day. The Chicago Tribune, a Kepublican paper, says, "Nothing could be m ore naive than the frank nesa with which an agent of the pine lumber mil Uonalres explained to one of our reporter! that he desired Congress to legislate so as to keep up high prices for their lumber and lumber lands. This Is "protection" in a nut shell. A half doaen timber syndicates azainst 52,000,000 wood con umere." The Des Moines (Iowa) Leader, a Democratic paper, says that it is an pea secret in that city that negotiations are actively proceedlrg to unite the Greenback party and prohibitionist of that State into one organization, and that the pro gramme la to run General Weaver for Governor on the combination ticket. This, the Leader thinks, wocld make a formidable third party. which ought to command 73,000 votes. Somewhat Impertinently, the Wheeling t,W. Va.) Register fays: "The editor of the Kegteter is a temperance man; he has not in all bis life drank as much whisky, putting it all together, as the chief advocate of prohibition in the Senate drank in a single week last winter." And Ter, pertinently It asks: "Is It better to te fanatically intemperate on the temperance question, and get drunk, than to be consistently temperate in op position to fanatical and inoperative measures, and keep sober?" The expense attending contests for seats la Congress has occasioned much comment and dls satigfacdon. The climax ia this respect appears to have been reached in the Froet Sessinghaus case, which has been pending before the House during the entire session. The aggregate ex pense on both tides foot up S27.5C1.90, and Con gress is expected to pay the bill. The seat will not be awarded until near the close of the session, so that the only parties benefitted are the law yers who argue the case. They evideotly saw In it a gold mine and have worked it for all it was worth. An oak chair, with leather back and seat, which once belonged to Thomas Jefferson and was ass Id uously aat upon by that patriot, la now the property of Mrs. Walter C. Douglass, of St. Louis. One of the arms Is a writing desk, with a drawer be neath it for stationery, and Mrs. Douglass will be deeply grateful to anybody who will prove that the Declaration of Independence was written thereupon. She inherited the chair from her father, Mr. Foot Johnson, a prominent Virglna lawyer, to whom it was given by a Mr. Foeter, of Bedford County, Virginia, and Mr. Foster ac quired it at Jefferson's death. The late ex-Congressman Lewis Selye, of Kochester, began business in that city as a common blacksmith, but soon rose to the leading manufacturer there of edged tools and engines. Daring the later years of his long and useful life he was prouder than of anything else of the fine double rows of shade-trees extending the entire length of Lake avenue, which he had himself planted, and at his own expenM. He was familiarly known aa "Old Broad Tire," from the fact that as Alderman he had secured the passage of aa ordinance requiring broad tires aa the wheels of vehicles used for carrying heavy loads. Thk most aged English Baronet is the venerable 81 r Moses Montefiore, who, on the 25th of October next, will enter upon his hundredth year.

One day the two were taking afternoon tea at Miss Frelinghuysen's. "One or two?" she asked as usual, poising a lump of sugar over the cup. Quoth the Secretary, "No sugar, no cream, one spoon." A WOCI.D-BE Imitator of the advertising agent who ia trying in New York to eat thirty brace of quail In thirty days, has appeared in St. Louis in the person of Mr. C. M. Helntse, manager of the publishirg house of G. L Jones & Co. lie offered to make a wager, ia Thatcher's cafe last evening, that he could perform the feet, but sub sequently, when Mr. Rowland showed a readi ness to male the bet. stipulated that the quail should be cooked differently at every meal. It is possible, though, that this stipulation will be waived, and in this event the quail eating is to begin without delay. The present King of Portugal is fully abreast of his fx-llow sovereigns of Europe In education and advanced ideas, lie keeps close watch upon new inventions and discoveries, and is quick to adopt any that may prove of real merit, lie has just had an elaborate telephone system estab lished between the Library, the ofices of the va rious Ministers, and the Opera, so that he can, withoat moving from his chair, alternately occu py himself with Ms books and the translations by which he has distinguished h&nself, with music, and with the duties and cares f State.

Tnx gradual nandpatlon of thelaves In Bra rll has not 6nly permitted the country to prepare Itself for the adoption of free labor, but its influence on immigration has aiso been most marked. From lSC5to 1S72 the average yearly number of immigrants was under 9.C00. In 1872 a law was passed In favor of gradual emancipa tion, and from that date to 1ST9 the immigrants averaged very nearly 23.0C0 annually almost three times the average before the enactment. The next two years showed nearly the same results; but then a notable Increase was observed, and from the 1st of January to the 1st of December, 1881, 39,7St lmmlgranta landed ia Brazil The old-fashioned eysteai of memorising from text-books is new attacked with great vigor In many quarters. Speaking on this subject the Philadelphia Times says: "There should be a great deal more oral Instruction and a great deal less cf text-books. Especially should there be less stringent and exacting rules in regard to memorizing irom text-books. A teacher who can not teach history or geography without requiring a pupil to answer questions in the exact language of the text-book la not fit to be a teacher is, in fact, utterly unfit. Some teachers exact from pupils a degree of accuracy and verbal memorizing in this iegard which the teachers themselves could not attala to, and which not a single member of the School Board could reach, even if they had to be 'kept in after school' every day in the year." Senator Edhcnd's supplementary bill for the suppression of polygamy, which permits a wife to testify against her husband, is believed by the Salt Lake City Tribune to be nearly inoperative.

Should Ehe dare to ive evidence agalast her husband she would become from that moment an outcast without home or friends. The way to get at the foot of the evil, the Tribune thinks, is not through suffering women, bat to strike at the priests, "who with the yesrs are preaching treason snd welding more closely the chains upon the people." To an outsider tbe chief arm of the Georgia Re publicans fjr a decala past has a; reared to be an insatiable eagerness to grab the Federal offices in the State. Every man who wanted an appoint ment put himself at tha head of a faction snd started lor Washington, claiming to have the party at his back. This went on until there wsa as manj Kepublican organizations in Georgia as there were cats after the Kilkenny fleht. Ent it is claimed that this period cf dissension Is ended. and that Colonel Alfred . Suck, Chairman cf tbe Republican State Central Committee, has succeed ed In harmoulln? matters, and that tue pari? will In future work solidly together. It is due to the party at largo that the Georgia Republicans, it hey never succeed in electing anybody, at least top fighting among themselves. This at least is what the New York Tribune thinks. Two policemen in uniform recently called at the house of a gentleman in Boston, who was giving a fancy dress ball, and insisted that the company must separate. "Not at all," said the host; "uiis Is a private house." "Very well, sir, said one cf the policom. "here are my orders, and I must take the names of all present." "Do so," responded the host The policemen went to work and put down all the names, maklnjf everybody supremely uncomfortable. Directly they had done so one of them walked up to a table and poured himself out a glass of champagne. ''What right have you to drink my wine?" roared the host "I supposed, when I was Invited," re sponded tbe policeman, "that refreshments were Included," and, amidst a roar of laughter, he showed his card. Both the men were simply guests. Lira Is made wildly hilarious down In North Carolina by occasional hunts after the seductive opossum; but tbe Charlotte Observer tells of a muskrat hunt that recently took place in that State which is at least a novelty. A man was walking home late one night, and while opening the door with his button-hook was suddenly at tacked by some unknown animal. Locking around he dlf covered not snakes, but a r umber of ferocious musk rata. After trying in vain to repel their attack, he beat a masterly retreat and summoned a squad of the local Constables. A uomenc tiue now ensued, and the newspaper chronicler graphically describes the onsets of a gigantic "musquash" who was finally persuaded to die by a policeman's club. The only injury done by the muskrats was the tearing of a nusa of pairs of those useful articles ol clothing known as "pants. District Attoksey CoRKUiu-,of Washington, will give a complimentary dluner to General Sherman on the evening of February 8; that date marking the General's sixty-third birthday and practical retirement from the army. Among the guests expected to be present are lion. James G Blaine, Justices Walte, Miller and Harlan, and Generals Grant and Sheridan. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press remarks that the friendly affection existing between Generals Sherman and Sheridan li closer than tbe world supposes. They correspond like school-day lovers, and are in close accord on every question. So chivalrous is the elder chieftain ia his retard for his successor that he is said to have asked for a change in the law. so that bis own rank of General, borne only by himself and General Grant, may not now die out, but deceud to "Gal lant Little PhiL" key. john uk itt mi ix er oeseiTes a para graph, ne is a Methodist Episcopal preacher of Trenton, N. J. A few days ago he was called npon to open with prayer tbe session of the State Assembly. He did so, ana the Solona who had been wont to spend prayer-time in the lobby soon nocked as close to bis desk as they could get. And this was the prayer they heard, in part "Our Father, may the members of this House not neglect the exacting and often unpleasant dutiea of the Committee-room, to seek publicity in noisy championship of popular measures on the floer of this House. May these Assembly men so act as to escape the necessity of explaining to an inquisitive constituency how, leaving home poor, on the meagre salary of $500, they return rich." And just here an awful hush reigned on the banks of the Delaware, and scarce even an echo was heard to say "Amen." Oosip at narrlsburg declares that Adjutant General Guthrie owes his appointment not only to his fitness for the post, but to bis ready wit on one occasion in conversationally outflanking Governor Pattlaon.

He went to Middletown, some three miles Item his residence, leaving his children at home. As be did not returu very earJy the children retired to bed, leaving a fire to warm their father when he returned. Not arriving until 10 o'clock, he found his hou-e burned, with his two little boys in it. The little girl barely escaped alive, aud was so frightened that she never ihooght of her two little brothers. The fire was supposed to have originated from a spark falling on the carpet while the children were in bed.
