HAUTE, JAN. 18, 1879

IF men will resume work in tbe spring as silently its specie resumed, tbe dawn of a prosperous era may safely be predicted.

THE Cincinnati College of MusieIt reported to be in a flourishing condition There are 373 student^ and financially tbe oollege is said to be prosperous.

THERE'S a vast deal of legislative wisdom now upon the surface. Besides the great body at Washington there are twenty-six State legisUtur^ln session.

THE trouble about official fees is widesp^nd. In Missouri they are considering a bill making tbe retention by county officers of fees not allowed by law a felony. Not a bad ldeaeithar.

SINCE tbe session of Congress opened in December, four members have-died— General Williams, of Michigaa^Mr. Beverly Douglas, of Virginia Mr, Hartridge, ofQeorgiaj and Mr. Sobleichr er, of Texas. tytiO %i\ tl

His civilization commenced £o go backward? The Introduction ih Missouri Legislature of a bill for Lbe establishment of the whipping post might be regarded as such an indication. But, after all, it is not so certain that a first-rate flogging is not the most appropriate and efficient punishment that could be provided for a certain class of offenses.

THE Ipdianapolls Journal has failed in its second attempt to establish a Sunday issue, and announces that it will be discontinued. Some of the new features of the Sunday paper will be continued in the Saturday issue. The fact is becoming appvrent that Saturday papers are more popular and prosperous than Sunday iasues, and many of the Snnday morning weeklies have within the past year of so changed the time of publica tion to Saturday evening.

A New YORK correspondent writes that Thomas Nast seems to be losing much of the power he once wielded. His late cartoons arouse far less interest than did those of a few years ago, notably in the campaign of 1872, when tbe Democracy and Mr. Greeley suffered so severely at his hands. The writer attributes the change to tbe improved taste of the public in fine arts and asserts th^fc Nast does not draw bis figures accurately. But perhaps a more truthful, if less philosophical explanation, would be that there are at present no subjects before the country of such gen eral and exciting interest as there were in the campaign of 1872.

THE President was waited on, last Tuesday, by the ladies of the Woman Suffrage Convention, who called him to account for having ignored about one half the people—the women of the country—in his last message. He perpetrated a rich joke upon them. He listened attentively until they had finished, and then asked tbem if they would not like to see Mrs. Hayes. They assented, and the President asked Mrs. Hayos to show them the White House, which she did, taking the ladies to the nursery, kitchen, and through all the chambers, pointing out the improved methods of housekeeping, and asking their opinions upon domestic subjects. The ladies expressed gratification at Mrs. Hayes' kindness, but carried off an impression that they had been trifled with. Information about housekeeping was not what they were after.

TUB JURY SYSTEM.

There has been a good deal of discussion of late concerning various phasss of the jury system, and some innovations have been made which will probably be but the prelude of others yet more radical. In a recent address before the Bar Association of tbe State of New York, Mr. Justice Miller, of the U. S. Supreme Court, discusses the subject in an interesting, because thoroughly intelligent manner. No institution which we have inherited from our ancestors, be says, has been so little disturbed by legislators yet there are signs of dissatisfaction. Illinois and Colorado abottsh the grand jury. Nerad* allows thTwf«OTM of the jury to render fsrgipt.

N a as it Bagland and

and carefully considered for many years by European jurists it has met with but very limited acoeptanee by tbem. While not disposed to give tbe system that hearty and unreserved approval which has been aooorded It by many eminent men in the past, Mr. Miller is foroed to admit that his experience as a judge has been much more favorable to jury trials than it was as a practitioner and he adds:

,(I

am bound to say that an intelligent and unprejudiced jury when such can be obtained, who are instructed in the law with such olearness, precision and brevity as will present their duty ih bold relief, are rarely mistaken In regard to facts which they are called upon to find." But while publid opinion is not ripe for a movement looking to the entire abolition of the jury system, he thinks there are changes which might be introduced that would increase its usefulness tp some extent. Acqofog these are suggested the reduction of the number of jurors and perhaps the doing away with the requirement of unanimity in civil causes. As was noticed last week, there is now a bill before tbe Legislature of this State looking to the reduction of petit juries to six members, and many good.lawyers favor such a change in tbe system. Others go farther and favor a law requiring the of jurors to be paid by the litigating parties, the same as any other costs, in the case. It must be confessed that this proposition does not seem unreasonable, and as cither measure would result in a large reduction in oounty expenses, it is to be hoped that 'something of the kind will be done.

POISON IN FOOD, &

The periodic analyzer of "the food we eat" has been getting in his work again. This time he comes in the alluring guise of an Angell, and the place selected for bis revelations is tbe wise and highly favored city of Boston. According to the discoveries of Mr. Angell, the human family is at present subsisting chiefly on the various preparations of lead, copper, arsenic, sulphuric aoid, and similar harmless compounds. Cayenne pepper and. mustard are largely composed of lead, pickles all have copper in them, sugar And cream tartaralleontafn from fifty to seventy-five per cent, of terra alba, or whitpearffc t^ arp sll adulterated, and coffee is not only adulterated, but is manufactured ou$rigbk £f I chi£•ioory moulded into the form of coffee berries. Several mills in New England, jsays Mr. Angell, are busily engaged in grinding white stone into a fine powder for use in adulterating food. Butter is concocted from the fat of diseased animals and cheese from equally obnoxious materials. Wines and liquors are vil-, lainous compounds of poisonous drugs. And so on to the end of the catalogue.

No doubt there is some truth in these grave charges, and that there is sufficient cause for the closest scrutiny of the various articles of food which people buy. Bht, on the other hand, there is good reason to believe that a large part of the story is gross exaggeration. We know as a matter of fact that there is a vast amount of better

raftd

bbedse'inade hon­

estly, from pure and genuine materials. All this is sold' and donsuiyied somewhere, and by somebody. There may be, and probably is some adulteration of these articles but it eertainly cannot be so extensive as represented. The same may be said of many other articles of food. Besides, if these wholesale charges of food poisoning were true, the death rate would be largely increased, whereas it is steadily diminishing, "the average duration of life being greater now than it was a century ago when "chemical compounds were far less generally employed in the preparation of food than they now are. As has been well said by a cotemporary: "Purchasers have a good deal of trash imposed Upon tbem for genuine articles, but if they, are drugged, as we are told in this address, there are thousands whose stomachs are] a» poison proof as that of Mlehridates was

T2? ITLn'm mfi A*

food owes to himself and those for whom he provides, to use the utmost care to buy pure and unadulterated articles, so far as may be, but on the other band, the best rule that can be prescribed for those who sit at table, is the old one (given to the apostles, if we remember aright,) to "eat that which is set before you, asking no questions." 3ir nfwtiy th

PAY AS YOU

There are obvious re&sonlfwliy the cash system ought to meet with general favor and acceptance. In the first place, goods could be sold cheaper, because the merchant would not have to add to his profit a considerable percentage for losses sustained from bad debts. Under tbe credit system this extra profit bss to be paid (most unjustly) by the very persons who never contribute to the loss. He could also sell cheaper because tbe expenses of conducting business, in tbe matters of keeping books and making collections, would be very considerably reduced. Moreover if tbe retail dealer received oash for all his sales he could turn his money faster, buy cheaper and give bis customer* benefit Of this reduction.

In the second pttoe, by paying in cash one is neter worried with dam. And that means a good deal. There are few things more disagreeable to a person of a sensitive disposition than to have a bill presented to him which he is not able to pay. And when, as frequently happens, dun follows on the heels of dun, at a time when be is worried and hammed aJbout other things, tbe discomfort of the situation may be imagined. It Is not too much to say that it requires a larger measure of Christian grace to preserve

system, as it prarawpio igagiaaa ana an unruffled temper. Contrast with tbe this country, hsf )esi? w*ll understood condition of such a man one *rho "owes

no man anything." He is neyer dunnet}, His credit is food. ®very merchant seeks his patronage. He does not have to stop his work and explain to a troop of hungry collectors why Is that bs has to disappoint them again and again. Having debts, the money thst comes into his bands he can feel is realty his own. There is a good deal of satisfaction in living that way.

But as dictatorships are always temporary in th^ir character, we are told that this one will shortly be followed by the establishment of ah empire. Grant will of course have the best chance of becoming emperor, though "some prefer Roscoe Conkling because he puts on more Btyle, has such an imperial air, is such a beautiful being, worthy progenitor of a royal race." Tbq indifference with which the people siibmit to the dictatorship is at first complete. After a while, however, they become somewhat aroused, and bloody conflicts ensue in and around Independence Hall in Philadelphia and Faneuil in Boston. As to the further fortunes of tho country, under Grant's reign, we are compelled to await the coming instalments of the propheoy, which we regret to say is printed in the form of a serial. We shall look forward with great interest to the remainder of tbe prophecy, for we are really anxious to know whether Grant or Conkling is to be etnpejoi^.

'ZT. the killed. .V.V.2 Tbe Cincinnati Commercial has gathered a list whioh It styles "American Killings," for the year 1878. It will startle the reader when we state that the bloody catalogue fills more than seven and one-half columns, in solid agate type, and the record in each case is just sufficient, and no more, for the purpose of identification. When^it is stated that tbe list-does nor Iricldde the violent deaths by wind, rail or water, but only those which "wertf produced by the direct* agency of men, it is evident that a considerable amount of violence has been abroad in the land during the year.

Tbe larger number of homicides occurred in tbe hot months. The three summer months were especially fruitful in "killing." Two columns and over, out of tbe seven and one-half, are devoted to June, July and August. Fortunately the summer average was not maintained the rest of the year. If it bad been, the list would have stretched out to over ten columns. Of all the days in the year, the Fourth of July appears to have been the most deathly, worse even than Christmas or the first day of tbe year. Several of the deaths that day

In tbe the third place, tbe only boneirii and proper way to live is to live within one's income. He wbo ipan^s more than be makes lives dishonestly. He sponges off of somebody. It is just as necessafy tor tbe man who can make but f506 a #ear to live on that su85, as it is for him who makes 95,000 or f50,000, to live on his income. He can do it, and if he is a strictly honest man he will do it. Nothing aids more to do this thau the plan of paying as you go. Then you know exactly what you can afford. You count your money first and make your purchases accordingly. Nothiogpcompts extravagance more, than buying on credit. .1MB

SO

e«*y .to anticipate one's

income—to look ahead to theJ60 or 100 that is "coming," and make it cover all the debts you are contracting. It is the most delusive thing in the world. Perhaps the money does not come at all but even If it does, you find that your debts alwayi run far ahead of it. And it is not a pleasant thing to take your hard earned money and pay old debts with it. One does not part With his money grudgingly when he gets his money's worth li| exefaang^ fpt it, .but it is a different ,fatter to

were^ucideutal. But th« larger number were the roaultq of drunken rows. HUM seems to have played an important part in these killings. In many cases the homicides are directly and bluntly attributed to a "drunken row.' In many more, one or both parties were probably under tbe influence of liquor, although tbe fact is not stated.

Women were tbe cause of most of tne deaths. Their relations which inspired the homicides were of all sorts. In some cases it was tbe husband who killed bis wife for unfaithfulness. In others the lover killed bis mistress. Mothers killed their illegitimate children, and women who should have been mothers were killed In the effort to prevent them from being. One woman poisoned another so that she could marry the son of tbe murdered woman. Stated broajly, there was scarcely a day in tbe whole year in which either a manor woman, was not killed in troubles growing directly out of the sexual relation. Still, as some writer remarked the other day, we should not think of abolishing love oc account of the eritntrs that have been committed in Its name.

The t*ljUHty

it out for

nothing but receipted bills. These are some of the reasons in favor of a cash system of living—a system which Jrtll, bring pe^qe, tbrifr, ard eventually the comforts and some of the luxuries of lift*.

I QMANT. The Irish World—the issue for last week—fairly frothed at the mouth fkbqqt Dictator Grant. The horrible nightmare afflicted nearly ^ve^yf qolnmn of the paper, and the skill of the engraver was brought to bear to make the vision more manifest. It took a look into the future—much farther than tbe ordinary human eye can see, and tells its readers of the wonders thatdfe to, be. Prom its forecast we le^rn that it^ 1,880, in the fickle month of Affrft, there will be a revolution throughout this fair land, resulting in the appointment of Grant as Dictator. Resumption, it seems,' will fail to improve busings, and, consequently, all the honest Democrats an4 Republicans will ^oin t|be :^ks of the Green back-Labcfr"party}. T?be^ the "aristocratic ~tei 'Republicans" will become alarmed, and will determine to establish Grant as Dictator by force.. The coup d'etat will occur ApriLi6,1SS0. ThoseTn"the secret will start on jet run on the banks. .Then, from theaters Of the Sub-Treasury in New York will be proclaimed the resignation of Hayes, the accession of the Dictator, and a manifesto from the "Union League of America" will be read,showing that the^movement is iinder the dire^iQO&f jCbnklirig, Blaine and Evarts. Grant will suppress Congress "amid great uproar." We Should think so! Imagine how Congress would object to being suppressed! "A Senator" will "fire a pistol at him," but will only hit a darkey. Perhaps this is the "nigger in the wood pile" so often spoken of. One compensation will be afforded in the midst of all this turmoil. Our prophet tells us that the newspaper extras will have an unprecedented sale. There is no cloud so dark but it may have a silvery lining.

or

the causes that ted,

in some cases, to tbe taking of life ex cites surprise fe&QpIe of men in Salvisa, Kentucky, quarreled over fifteen

man was clubbed to death because be wanted change for a: drink out of fifty cents, and in Evansville one was killed because h#woll9 joi trftgt anotbfr for drinks. 1^- Arkansas one brotber-in law shot another in a petty quarrel about rent, and in DeshleV a man kicked his wife to death bepauM ehe-did not.get bis supper ready him ^dbn" enough. A quarrel over a loaf of bread resulted in the murder of a man In tj?i? State. There was one murder brought pbout by a religious discuifAob, -and &neP by a iiS 'cussion on temperance^ It is a shocking list. One's ideas of the meanness, tbe bitterness, the wickedness, and the childishness of human nature grow as he studies it.

Another point that attracts attention is tbe number of murders and homicides that have been committed^ the perpetrators of which have never,been discovered.

Still snother is that the number of executions in comparison with the nmnber of murders is very smalls'

The horrible record has a peculiar fascination, and is an interesting study, as showing us how much greater probability there is in getting killed in the summer time than In the winter, what risks we run of getting killed or killing somebody when we get drunk, and so on.

Do not nudge your neighbors with your elbow do not scratch yourself do not betray by any gesture that you are hungry, and do not look eagerly at tbe food as though you could devour tbe whole of it. Wheever it be distributing the cut viands, do not hastily present vour plate to be served first -do not crunch the bones nor break he stones of fruit with your teeth. Do not suck the bones to get out the tuarrow. It is very Indecent to touch anything fat, either sauce or syrup, with the fingers, seeing that yon are thereby compelled to practice two or three other in decencies, to wipe your hands frequently with your dinner napkin, and so dirty it like a kitchen clout—to wipe them on

Be careful not to dip your poition In the dish, or what you are eating int the salt cellar do not offisr to Others what you have al ready tasted and take it for a general rule that what has once been put on your plate must never be put back in the dish. There Is nothing so abominable as to clean and wipe a dish or plate with one's hands during tbe dinner do not criticise the meats and sauces, or ask to drink first, for it Is a great incivility. Carefully avoid talking with tbe mouth fhll. It is uncivil to pick one's teeth during the repast either with a knife or fork. In placing yourself at table have tbe bead uncovered. Always wipe your spoon when, after hsving already used it, you wish to take something from another plate, as there are some people so delicate that they would not partake even of soup, where you had aioped your spoon, having previously "carried it to your mouth. Join the fips when eating, so as not to make a lapping noise like animals. If, unfortunately, you burn yourself, bear it patiently if you can, out if you cannot, take your plate in one band and, lifting It up, cover your month with the other hand, putting back upon it what burned you, and then you will pass your plate behind yon to a lackey. Do not drink your wine as thongh you were tasting it, and do not make two or three draughts of your glass, for that is too familiar, but drink it down at once and resolutely, looking into it as you do so.

One must also take care in drinking not to make a noise with tbe throat, marking the number of times one swallows, in such a way that the company can count them.—Prevost.

Perhaps tbe most sincere, persistent, and indefatigable admirer Miss Clara Louise Kellogg has is her mother, Mrs. Kelloirg.

While the other lsdies were inelined to favor tbe performers with their applause, Mrs. Kellogg saw very little in the entertainment to compliment. 'How can these stupid people cheer this dumb show, when right before them *its tbe greatest living prima donna l' demauded Mrs. Kellogg, with considerable warmth. 'But tbe clown is to funny, ras,' urged Miss Kellogg, nearly dead with laughing at Tony, who bad just knocked a man's head off and was about to sbootaoannon ball through a lay figure at tbe right upper entrance. iSo funnyl' echoed Miss Smjth, who is very much in love with Clara Louise. 'What does he do that you can't do?' asked Mrs, Kellogg. 'You can make up faces and dance and shoot off a gun, and what is more, yott can sing, and he can't.' Pretty soon the clown came in on a pair of stilts and commenced gyrations that would have
