THE St. Louis Globe-Democrat firmly believes that the day has come for West Point to be abolished as an antiquated, costly, exclusive, insufficient, and unrepnblican system, or to be liberalized and brought down to modern times.

THE people have lost or destroyed eight millions of the fractional currency and now good and generous Uncle Sam is going to issue eight millions of silver to take its place. It is understood that if we go and lose that it will be the last be will give us.

THK other day Governor Stone, of Mississippi learnod that two citizens of Arkansas were coming into his state to fight a duel, and he promptly sent an officer to the border to "shoo" them off. Ho has done nothing yet to disturb the hellish Kemper county assassins.

As tbo colored q^'det stepped up and received kisdiplqpna^tvitlila dignified bow, General Sherman clapped his hands approvingly, and his example was at once followed by nearly all of the visitors and officer? present, until there was an almost univetpal round (rf applause.

A KIRK, surpassed on this dStlflent only by the Chloago and Boston fires, visited St, Johns, New Runs wick, on Thursday, destroying the entire business portion of the d«y and maeh of Hie residence portion. The loss of property is stated at fit teen to twenty mil Uotx dollar*. Thirty dead bodies have been re. moved and many more persons are missing. Twenty thousand people are homeless and without fbod'. ^Appsals fbr aid have been sent out and are having prompt response. Truly this is a remarkable year for the loss of life and property by Are, flood and aooldent.

POSTXLASTRR-UKNKRAL KEY has BEEN giving certain officials in his department some talk which sound* very mooh like practical civil service reform. A apodal agent, recently appointed* who found his new place something more than a mer* sinecure, wrote a complaining terto Mr. Key in which be stated that he understood his labor* were to beoonfined to his own state where he could be moat usefel to the administration in building up an administration party. The Postmaster-General makes answer 1 that the special duty of the special agents ~'1 of the department is to detect thieves wad rascals that they must be reedy to go any where at a moment's warning and travel night and day, in sunshine and storm, and not si pep an hour in the twenty- bur, if need be, and that as to building up an administration party, tie

will take great pleasure in removing an agent and reducing the force when he discovers that the agent has time to attend to party organization and party discipline. That is pretty strong language, but in reply to the complaints of a number of clerks recently discharged, by anew postmaster—to the effect that the latter was not loyal to the administration—Mr. Key states the case even more strongly. He says substantially that the post-offioe is not a political institution that the incumbent has a right to oppose ^be policy of the administration if he sees fit and this alone is no canse for removal but if any officer, whether he supports or opposes the administration, is so much of a politician that he ncglects his duties, such an one ought to be removed. These views are understood to emanato directly from the ^President and tffre certainly in quite a different vein from what we have been in the habit of bearing, but are such as the better class of citizens have long desired to hear end will cordially approve.

it has? been one of the grat­

ifying prerogatives of Americans to expatiate on the boundless and inexhaustible resources of their country. The "far West" has always been a terra incognita, stretching farther and farther toward the setting sun in proportion as emigration has flowed toward it. \Ve have fondly believed that the vast territory lying between

and the Pacific was as fertile and salubrious as that of the older states and capable of sustaining as dense a population. But it seen)! this theory is a delusion. A writer who professes to be familiar with the resources of that section informs the New York Tribune that the maximum population it can probably support is about as follows: Colorado 200,000, Wyoming 100,000, Dakota 175,000, Montana 200,000, Idaho 125,000, Utah 200,000, New Mexico 175,000, Washington 150,000 and Nevada 75,000 a total of 1,460,000, or less than the population of the state of Indiana. If these figures be anything like correct we can begin to see an end to the' vista of possible progress which opens towaids the setting sun.

A NOTABLE visit was that of Fred Douglass, Marshall of the District of Columbia, last Monday, to his old home, at St. Michael, Talbot county, Maryland, for the first time since he left there, a fug utive slave, forty-one years ago. He was well received by liis former master, Captain Thomas Auld, and by William W. Bruff, who taught hhn reading,' arithmetic and geography fifty years ago..He addressed the colored people, and the Chicago Inter-Ocean tells us that it was more of a speech than the press dispatch indicated. He told the colored people that they were an immense distance behind the white people that they were in contact with .the most indomitable and the most enlightened race in the world, and they must work.to make themselves tne.cquals of the whites. He,did not beliovo the colored people wer? fundamentally inferior to the whites, "but they are, hevertbeless," he said, "practically inferior^ We must not talk about equality untlfwe can do what white people can do. "So loug as they can build vessels an& we cannot, we are their inferiors. So Jotg as they can luild railroads and We cannot, we are their inferiors. So lqng as they can found governments and we robnbt,^we are their inferiors. If in twenty years from now the .colored race, as a race, has not advanced beyond the point where it was when emancipated, it Is* doomed race. The qnestion now Jfa: "Will the blaok man do as much for his master (himself) as

used to do for

hit old matter? Do you, any colored friends, pet up as easily now to .work foe yourselves as vou used to do to work for tbiit stern old Roman, Samvtel Gambleton?" He did not believe that the mulatto was the superior of tke black man, intellectually or in any way. In the part of his

of the leading men of the nation w*re present, he is said to have made an-elo-quent response to the^speech of. Earl Granville, during which the cheering was almost continuous and when be had resumed bis teat the health of tbe exPreaident was druuk amid tumultuous applause. Evidently the General timed his visit to the old oouutry with his usual good fortune.

in which he urged the

getting of money, Mr. Douglass said he waa tired of Ethiopia holdirig out her hands., The colored people should not depend upon being helped, but should do for themselves. Their preachers should tell them more about what to do, and less about what to feel.**.

All In all, the speech was as remarkable In Its tone as the occasion was extraordinary. Jnet how it will be received by the colored people remaipa te .be seen.

OB1TUABr._ .f

On Sunday last there died two men who filled large apace in the history of Indiana—Hon. D. E. Pratt, of Logansport, and Hon. John Petit, of Laffcyette. Mr. Pratt died very suddenly of heart disease while sitting in a chair, dictating to his daughter some reminiscences of pioneer life in'Indiana, for publication. Jndge Petit died from the effects of a stroke of paralysis which he had received a day or two before. t5f

Both men wero distinguished citisens of the state. Mr. Pratt was a native of Maine and was born Oct. 26,1813. When but nineteen years old, having just graduated from Hamilton opllege, N. Y., with the highest honors, he started on foot for the West. He reached Cincinnati without money and began his oareer as a school teacher at lAwrenceburg, In this state. He taught for one y««r there and for another aft Rising Sun. Meantime be was pursuing the study tkf law, and In 1836, settled at Login* port fbr the practice of his profession, where he lived ontll the ttmtfr of his death. He served two Urtbs In the Legislature and In 18S7 was started to Congress. Thenextyear be was elected to the United mates Senate, Governor Hendricks being his competitor. On his retirement from the Senate In 1875 he was appointed Com miskione of Internal revenue, in which office he spent a laborious year and resigned on ac­

count of failing health. He was noted for industry, courage and unswerving integrity in all the various positions he filled in life, and

was

a source of strength

and honor to the State^ .* Ex-Judge Petit was a native of the state of New York, where he was bprn July 24th, 1807. He came to Indiana when twenty-five years old and settled at Lafayette. He, too, served in the Legislature, spent- two terms in Congress, and in 1853, was elected United States Senator, to fill the unexpired term of Senator Whitcomb. In 1870 he was elected to the Supreme bench of the Sute, where he served until 1876. He was a man of unquestionable ability but defective in his moral nature. He was an avowed infidel, and, so far from attempting to conceal his religious opin ions, was much given to proclaiming them in season and out of season. We are told by one who knew him well, •ly^t the judge was in the habit of gathering young men around him for the purpose of inculcating the vicious doctrines which he had adopted. This was perhaps the greatest blotch upon his character.

None save these who have tried (t re­

how comfortable it is to have a home of one's own. In importance it is next to being happily married. Some good wife has described the situation admirably in the following charming language:

our cosy house, it is thrice

dear to us because it is our own. We have bought it with the savings of our earnings. Many were the soda fountains, the confectionery saloens, and the necessities of the market, we had to pass, many a time my noble husband denied himseir the comforts of tobacco, the refreshing draught of beer, word old clothes, and even patched up boots and I, O me! made toy old bonnet do, wore the plainest clothes, did the plaines cooking saving was the order of the hour and to have "a home of our own' had bee*n our unitedaim. Now w,e have it there is no landlord troubling us with raising rent, and exacting this and that. There is no fear harbored in our bosom that in sickness or old age we will be thrown out of house and home, and tl*e money we have saved, which otherwise would have gone to pay rent, is sufficient to keep us in comfort in the winter days of life."

In this city particularly it is supreme folly for the poor man to live in a rented house, *s there are countless houses which maybe purchased on monthly payments amounting only to about the rent charged. No doubt the wideawake man would find such opportunities in village or country as well. The ydung couple just married, and without means, who adopt this method will have a home—humble, perhaps, but still a home—paid for almost before they realize it, and all the little self-denials unites them

who propose to

practice a3 physicians, to pass satisfactory examinations before a board, cdm petent to decide as to their fitness for their propped 'business.- This-iSnot the first time that attention has been called to this pubjeot andltis Jaot at all'probabteffchiit it "Will* lie' thb"time there will be occasion for doing so. The practice Of allowing every man todo as he pleases—the distinctively American idea of liberty—so long as he does ndt rob or kill his neighbor by open violence, is pretty firmly seated in the American mind, and the "average man'?,li ver/ apt to look upon any attempt to impose, conditions upon carrying on any sort ot business as an abridgment ^fjithos^ rights secured by "the blood of our fathers." Usually the laws of competition are fairly sufficient to keep in a given business only, or at least, chiefly1,' those who are fitted to conduct It. The, up? trained and blundering blacksmitn will not have anything to do, because every man who has any blacksmithlng work to be done is fairly oompetent to Judge of it. And so with other branches of industry. The ordinary man can tell whether the work is deoently done or not. Bnt when the region of medicine is reached, men are no longer capable of judging. Many Intelligent men have not hesitated to characterize the whole practice of medicine as simply an elaborate system of guessing. But there are standards by which may be approximated, at least, the fitness of any man or woman to grapple with the problem of disease, and those standards are understood and can be applied only by those who have themselves made the subject one of especial study. .There is no class of msn to whom are trusted so blindly the most vital interests of men and women as to physicians, and there is no sort of work to which men are daily called which requires them to encounter such hidden, shadowy and deadly antagonists, the sources and reasons of whose malevolent power are so {difficult to get at, and yet so vitally neepssary to be Intelligently met. And ere is no business of the qualifications individuals to conduct which, there so few oomjratent to judge. The dethat the horde of charletans and niKfr* who now delude and robmaund shall be reduced, by some adequate system of testing qualifications, is one from trhich no one of intelligence can dissent. But the reform ahould go further. According to present practice, only the capital or credit sufficient to bny stook of drugs and a book of formulas are necessary to enable anybody to set up ass druggist and chemist.' In the country, the physician usually deals out his remedies himself, but hi the I

gence and capacity, very largely depends the results of the doctors work., Once in a.while some careless or stupid draggist puts up some active poison instead of what he is directed to put up, and then when the patient dies, possibly the world bears of it, but how often, think you, does anybody know when the same incompetent bungler puts up a different, though not a poisonous drug, or compounds those ordered negligently or in improper proportions, and the doctor is censured for that want of effect or difference of effect for which the druggist alone is responsible? Where the number of poisonous drugs is so small, as compared with the wbole number in use, and there are yet so many known cases where one of these few is made to take the place of another, It is fair to argue that there are proportionately more instances where some other mistake is made.

Considering, theft, that so large proportion of the medical practitioners are charlatans and quacks of the most flagrant description and that this great army of enemies to mankind is supplemented by an even more numerous and dangerous mob of shallow and ignorant pretenders to chemistry, the degree of success attending the resistance of human health to their assaults attests strongly to its native vigor. The demand is just and right, and the sooner legislators recognize it-and act on it the better for the people."

THE BIG MEN OF THE PACIFIC COAST. Interview with EJ1 Perkins in Chicago

Inter-Ocean.

"Who are tbe most conspicuous men now on the Pacific coast?" "They are ex-Governor Stanford, tbe President of tbe Central Pacific Mr. Flood, of Flood A O'Brien Charles Crocker, the President of tbe Southern Pacific, and Senator Sharon, who owns tbe Palace Hotel. "Belmont," and who owns, in fact, all the property which Ralston once claimed to own. Senator Sharon told me that Ralston nev«r own-

erner Stanford is worth $18,000,000, Sharon from 115,000,000 to $20,000,000, and Croker from 98,000,900 to 912.080,000. The four men can no doubt command 9100,000,000. Stanford was onoe retail grocer. Flood came to California as a carpenter, and worked at his trade. Sbaion was a clerk in the branch of tbe Bank of California at Virginia City, and Croker was a working msn of New York, and onoe kept a saloon in Sing Sing. He became a contractor on tbe Central Pacific, showed great talent, working large gangs of mea. took larger and larger contracts, until he became very rich, and he is now building one of the most costly residences in San Fran-

Mr. Conkling made a speech, and after expressing his gratitude, assuring his friends Of his undying remembrance, etc., said: "One of the most pleasant among the incidents which I anticipate in my journey abroad will be the opportunity to thank the English people lor Eugland's reception of General Grant. [Great ap-

lause.] I see yon as Americans will me out if I say that no occurrence in recent times has done so much to warm the breasts of the people of America as the warm, generous, and STO .taneous tribute paid by England to tae hero and patriot who enjoys such primacy in the. hearts, the. confidence, and the affection of the American people. [Applause.] It is consoling to know that the great English-speaking people of the British Isles understand that the American people have not forgotten the principles, measures, and man that in peace preserved and in war rescued tjiat nationality which they will par don us if we regard as the greatest nationality on earth."

WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE MAN9 What will become of the last man? Various theories that have beon seriously maintained by scientific men are described in the Scientific American, and are here summarized: 1. The surface of the earth is steadily diminishing, elevated regions are being lowered, and the seas are filling up. The land will at last, be all submerged, and the last man will be starved or drowned: 2. The ire is gradually accumulating at the north pole and molting away at thesouth pole, the consequence of which will be an awful catastrophe when the earth's center ot gravity suddenly changes. The last man will then be drowned by the rush of waters. 3. The earth can not always escbpea collision with a comet, and when the disaster comes there will be a mingling of air and cometarv gas, causing an explosion. If the last man is hot suffocated be will be blown up. 4. There is a retarding medium in spa.se, causinga gradual loss of velocity in the planets, and the earth, obeying the law of gravitation, will get closer and closer to the sun. The last man will be sunstruck. 5. The amount of water on the earth is slowly diminishing, and simultaneously the air is losing in quantity and quality. Flnal'v the earth will be an arid waste, like the moon. The last man will be suffocated. 6. Other sunn have disappeared and ours must sooner or later, blase up and then disappear. The intense heat of the conflagration will kill every living thing on earth. The last man will be ourned up. 7. The sun's fire will gradually burn out, and the temperature will cool. The earth's glauial zones will enlarge, driving our race towarJs the equator, until the habitable space will lessen to nothing. The late man will be frosen to destb. 8. Gradua)|cooling of the earth will produce enormous fissures, like those seen in the moon. The surfaoe will become extremely unstable, nntil the remnant of humanity wilt take refuge in caves. The last man will be crushed in hi subterranean retreat. 0. The earth will at-last separate into small fragments without a foothold. The last man will have a dreadful fall through space. 10. The tenth theory proving that there will be no last man at all, Is thus expressed: •Evolution does not necessarily imply and possibly the race may rograded until the hnman being tbe nature of the plant louse sueh being the case this single inhabitant will spontaneously produce posterity of both sexes.'

"BUSTED."

[ff. Y. Correspondence Boston Journal.J One of onr heaviest real estate men has been under tbe harrow for some months. To-day he has abandoned the fight, and given op everything to bis creditors. He was a very successful cotton broker. All the money he made he put iuto real estate. His revenues were very lai ge. His income was 9800.000 a year. One building near Trinity Church yielded him a rental of 990,000 per annum. Everything he touched turned to gold. He was loaded duvvn with cotton. One day a merchant handed him a check for §300,000 to cancel a oontract. He took it. Within ten days cotton surged up and he made a fortune, He owned an elegant bouse on Fifth avenue. He crowded it with paintings, statuary, and other works of art. Not oontent with this, he was Induced by a

eculator to take hold of. a railroad, bought bonds at CO. Soon alter they went down to 40, and the gentleman bought all he could lay his hands on. He took the road. *He proposed to run it. He found it unfinished. He equipped it spent-9300,000 in locomotives and rolling stock. Ruin came to him as it comes to every one who dabbles in outside matters. Tbe pauic completed bis demoralization. Hta fine New York property was mortgaged for more than it was worth. To-day he has ceased to struggle. Few men will be warned and few men will be wiser for all this. Here is a man who, a few months ago, had a royal income of f800,000 a year. He wanted to make it a million.. To-day he is hopelessly bankrupt.

TAKEN WITHOUT ORNAMENTS. [Hartlord Correspondence Boston Herald.] Nude photographs of children are being taken for proud Hartford mothers. Only a short time ago a lady brought to a leading photographer two handsome little girls, aged 4 and 6 respectively, and had a number ot stereoscopic views taken of tbem in a nude state, the little ones first being posed in various olassio attitudes. From tbe ease with whioh they placed themselves it was evident they had received preparatory training at home. With a strong light thrown upon them, splendid effects were produced, the figures standing out as clear and distinot as statues of marble. At other times photographs of three or four younger children of a family have been made in varions groupings, the little youngsters, both boys and girls, being quite as well pleased as their admiring parents. When the practice first came into favor infants only were photographed, and their pictures were, and are now frequency displayed in the photographer's show-cases. As the custom grew in popularity, older children were thus photographed, but seldom beyond the age of 5 or 6 years, after which period, as they begin to grow rapidly, they lose some of the beautifully-rounded outlines of early childhood, and develop angles and sharp lines, wbich detract irom the pleasing effectB of the pictures. Care is exercised by the parents in the case of ohildren who have passed babyhood to prevent the pictures from being seen beyond the sacred privacy ef the family circle, and in the case of the two little girls above mentioned, the negative was demanded and taken away by their mother.

DEARTH AND THE JUDOMENT -.IfU

SEAT. .. _»•

[fieeclier In Christf&W Union.] The whole drift of Scripture appears to us clearly to teach that the soul passes directly "from its earthly to its spiritual life thai there is no "intermediate state," that death is not death but only transition and that the day of judgment is an occasion, not for the formation but for the announcement of tbe divine judgments on mankind. It is the theory of Swedenborg that at death tbe terrestrial body drops off and the spiritual body emerges that this is the resurrection that the day of jadgment has already begun that every soul goes from its death bed to the judgment bar of God. There are some weighty objections to this view but there are some weighty objections to all views If one must have a theory this is perhaps as gcod as any. That d'«th summons the Christian to judgment, and judgment ushers him into Immortality, is the clear revelation of God's Word. What is this architecture of the oourt room, what the proceedings, how long they last, and what is the domain that lies beyond, no one knows and they know least who are most dogmatic. There is no objection to imagining anything if you do not frame your imagination into creed. The piled up clouds may often

are not mountains. The boy delights to

dream

of what be will do when be is a man. But the realities of tnanbood are never like the dreams of boyhood. Of one thing we may be very sure, whatever the future Is it will not be a reproduction of our day dreams the mountains of God will not be patterned sfler the clouds of our own creating. For "it doth not yet appear what we shall be."

HORSE AND FIDDLEi

The Sporting Editor Plays Critic at a Philharmonic Concert. Thff mhsical critic of one of tbe New York papers having been oompelled to leave town suddenly, on the eve of concert by tbe Phllhsrmonio Society, o&nfrcre on the sporting department of the journal kindly volunteered to take bis plsce tor tbe evening. His work, whatever its shortcomings in sn artistic sens*, certainly lacked nothing In originality, and we commend bis style to some of the Laneister critics. Hear him: "Time was called exactly at 8 o'clock, and about fifty bugles, fifes and fiddles entered for the conteit. Tbe fiddles won tbe toss, snd took the inside with the chandeliers right in their eyes. Tbe umpire, with a small dub, acted slso as starter. Just before the start be stood upon a cbeesebox, with a small lunch counter before bim, snd shook his stick at tbe entries to keep tbem down. The contestants first socked it to Landliche Hocbzelt, by Goldsmark, Op. 26. Tbe got off nearly even, one of the sorrel fiddles gently leading. The man with tbe French horn tried to call tbem back, but thev settled down to work at sogging gait, with t&e big roan fiddle bringing up tbe rear. At tbe first quarter the little black whistle broke badly, and went Into the air, but the fiddles on tbe left kept well to#sther, and struck up a rattling g*it. At tbe naif-pole the man with toe straight horn showed signs of fatigue. There was a little bobtalled flute which wrestled sadly with the sorrell bogle at the half mile, but he was wind-broken and wheezed. The galoot with tbe big fat bugle kept calling •whoa* all the time, but he seemed to keep up with the rest till the end of the race. They sll came under the string in good order, but tbe judge on the cheewDOX seemed to reserve his opinion. He seemed tired, and the contestants went out to find th*ir bottle-bolder#, and get ready for tbe Beethoven handicap. It was a nine exhibition, hot a iittle tiresouis to tae observer*.
