The temperance tone of can ten Naturally, thia wards the Republican party, spring tbey have threatened to cat loose from all parties and either'vote for a temperance man or not vote at all. As the Democratic party is not hampered to any greet extent by temperance prin,ciples it can afford to encourage this in dependent spirit in the present instance and, as it had nothing to loee by it, has been encouraging temperance Republicans to fly the track and vote the National ticket, for some time there seemed to be a fair prospect that this would be done, bat the last few days shows a decided reaction in favor of first principles. T. T. has been informed that the entire saloon element of tha city is working in favor of the Democrat* candidate for mayor, and in this element ho looks forward in hopes of success. Of course if he succeeds the (Sttttday traffic trill proceed |as usual. Six days are not' enough in which to 4nake money out of Mie saloon business, and tbey must fpe aJQowed to keep in full blast on tWfleMMttfa.

It is currently reported that in an evil hour he under' took to set them up toa crowd,and was caught In the aetty an ardent temperance advocate, who is a republican, but ^who had fully made up his mind to volte for the National candidate.

As the ticket is generally conceded to be one of the strongest Wer placed before the j«ople here, that sdietne waa evidently a lamentable failure. Another rumor says that these same men wanted the chairman of the executive committee to aid them in defeating the ticket that scheme failed too, and should the ticket be elected next Tuesday, than will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth lu certain quarters. As the diasention in the Republican ranks seems to be confined to a favored few, it is not thought that it will afflrct the general result materially. The Democrats are not as much torn up at was supposed, and they are making

'1 Some time ago the public were earded ably and otlMnriw on the question of changes of school books in the schools and the various modes of teaching the young idea hojr to shoot. Some of the aforesaid communication* wore interesting, and ahed light upon some matte** but little undenstood some of them were dull, and occupied space which bai better been devoted to other matters.

XZx

while others were decidedly traahy. When the correspondence dosed, T. T. had high hopes that the school question was settled for all time to come, and that the school system of the State would hereafter move along in ita accustomed grove without further molestation on the part of those who consider themselves bound to reform the world. But it appears such Is not to be the case. This week a fond mother filed complaint against a couple of teachers for whipping her boy. This ease waa tried before a justice, who thought the law did not allow him to assesa a fine in proportion to the enormity of the ofifene^ and sent It to the criminal court for adjudication. Of course in a eaae of ihia kind each side has its following. The sentimental will cry out againstcorporal punishment, and exclaim that whipping children in school is a relic of the dark agea that children should he governed by love snd not by the rod, and much more in the same strain. This may all do very well for those who know nothing of the triais'and tribulations of teachers, who have all kinds of boys consigned to their care. Of course there are many good boys to be found in the schools, but it must be borne in mind that the good die young. T. T. feel* compelled to say that the boy of to-day is not noted for docility or love of order, either in school or out of it his chief delight is to break all the rules of the school on every possible occasion when he thinks he can do so without fesr of punishment. It is within the recollections of T. T. when a set of boys amused themselves by boringfholee through the school furniture, because an unpopular teacher requested that good care be taken of it. It waa not beneath the dignity of these same boys to unhinge the doors of the school room, take the tongue out of the bell, place the teacher's table in such a position that a slight touch of that worthy would send it and contents sprawling over the floor, throw a win dow sash from the third story so it would fall close enough to the teacher to make him- believe something had dropped, and many other tricks of a similar nature, which it is needless to narrate at this time. These are some of the pranks of the Young America of todayagainst which teachers have to contend. Of course there are many kindhearted souls who think the boys should not fa* thusshsd for sash pranks, bat thoes who have to bearjwith them think differently. If these youths are to be encouraged in diaobeying the school regulations,* then good byeto all school discipline. While T. T. does not believe in a wholesale slaughter of the innocents, still he thinks the teacher shouldbe allowed to use his or her-dis-cretion in the matter, and apply the birch in cases when applications would be deemed beneficial. In an indiscriminate use of the rod T. T. does not believe, nor does he believe, that in this latter part of the nineteenth century there are to be found in this city teachers who would abuse their right in this direction. Teachers have to deal with boys of many dispositions somo of them can be governed by kind or coaxing words, but there are others who absolutely require the rod, and in order that the school be kept from demoralisation, the rod should be used to the proper degree.

Susan Perkins* Letter.

DEAR JOSIB—I am in deepair! That sensitive plant, my mind, la all curled up as with the rude touch of unthinking strangers. I am just too awfully, killingly unhappy for anything, my own Joeepbiue, because I am being "pitched into" in the most heartlesa way 1 I am being criticised by everybody, and vials of wrath are being poured at my devoted bead. Unfortunately, tbey occasionally oil other hair than mine, but, at the same time, I know for whom the dressing is meant, and my fair lodes shiver out of crimp, as I think how I, a well meaning, but thoughtless stranger, am talked about in this meet inhospitable city.

I say inhospitable, knowing what I say. Here I have been for—well, for somewhat longer than my letters to you would indicate, as was wise,—and Ihave not been overwhelmed with attention by the ladies of this dty. A few have railed so obviously because of a feeling of duty, that I have not returned their calls other few in a frankly, friendly way that has been delightful the many not at all. If this were fate alone, I would modestly ascribe this neglect to my own demerits but it is not so. 11M thing la common. If a young lady cornea here to visit or to live, and la happily blessed by nature with thoee graces which give her fevor In the eyes of her fellow men, the young ladies set her down as "Ant," the msmmm look upon near with unfriendly regard* snd she is Kit to find her society in the members of the other sex. If she be not to them attractive, Heaven help her, for her country women wont.

And I, unhappy creature that I an, find my criticism in both sexes, a young man, somewhat »po8cd, I fear, by his many lady friends and the too-par­

tial estimate placed upon his literary abilities by his friends and the very young audiancee who meat frequently hear the recitation of his productions, was unkind enough tossy, when accused of writing theso letters, "I think that no compliment, at all. If I oould write no better than that, I would keep out of thf papers."

Aa4 I waa once kind enough to aay if I had to be a man, I would ss lief be be so anyone!

One woman called me a spiteful old maid, who takes revenge for lade of masculine attention by indulging hi personalities. Another, forgetting the "Idas" belonging before my name, aayf that I am a managing mamma, rendered man-hating and woman-envying by the illjiucceaa atte^ng my matrimonial aehemes.

Bat, worst of all, the aetdor editor of the Gaaette, who is—when he lets hia moustache grow—the handaomeat in town, and my special admiration cause of hia pluck in fighting his whole party If he thinks his cause is just, publicly tells me I am too severe and ahew bad taste in holding up the weaknesses of my sex to the light of friendly ridicule! He calls me a "clever

satirist"

and "dear Susan," but he plainly disapproves of me, and I am wretched! But the advice is good, and will be taken. The faults of my sex, of wbich I mutt speak, will be put into imaginary people, and no one will be hurt thereby.^ Thanks, sweet William "thanks, awfully!

A number of us, my loV«^ finding plenty of time at our disposal, and not much to occupy it, have formed a Dee-' orative Art Club, whose objects are the improvement of our home decorations, the increase of our artistic skill, and the regulation of the affairs of our neigh-] bora. I wish you were here to join. We bad our first meeting this week and, after spending an hour and-a-half in pleasant gossip, settled down to fifteen minutes of hard work. Each member works at that branch of art for which ahe hae most talent—or inclination, and we meet once a week. My letters to you may be "minutes of the last meeting," but you can see that, under tbf third of our objects, news will not b$ neglected. 7oh

Some paintonChiaa spmema^p *some embroider some make new things ln apjftlqne wdflt wfekk "are so charminly sweet some do other things, but all talk.

We have for ourmotte, '"Originality kf the life of Decorative Art and we are certainly stunningly original, because we copy every new idea ac- soon as it comes out in New York, and exhibit our work-with a calm conviction that everybody else will copy us as soon as they can. ,•.

Miss Lettice Tryhard is embroidering a screen. She sits at her frame and works, and talks, and looks as gracefully interesting as possible. Miss Tryhard is not pretty, nor is she particularly bright, but her mother, Mrs. Tryhard, not discouraged by two past failures, still hopes for a brighter future, and Miss Lettice plaintively sighs over the fact that, "Girls with minds and cultivation, who are wise but not beautiful stand no chance now-a-days." Her screen Is in the Japanese style—storks flying eastward like vanishing hopes a bridge with a young woman on it a temple to which the bridge won't lead and a man who seems to be running away from some unseen danger. I suppose, like all Japaneee designs, it telle some story but I don't know what. Perhaps by the time it la finished, I may think it out.

One member of our dub la rather obnoxious to the rest of us but she literally forced herself in, and we didn't dare to deny her admission. She la a Mrs. Bacquebight well known and much dreaded.* She knows all aorta of people and all sorts of things about them regales us with accounts of the misdoings of her servants telle us who owes her dressmaker so much that she can get no more work done by her who never pays her cooks if she can get out of it who is so lazy that she makes her mother do all her mending and a thousand other things in an endless stream of talk.

She tried to make us believe, the other day, some news she told us about Charley Ray, and an account of a little joke played by Will Adamaon upon Henry Richardaon, but I wont now tell than you far I don't beBeve the things. She does not paint nor embroider, but ahe intends nvrnittgto do both, Mid kept rushing from Miss Tryhard*s embroidery frame to Miss &nith*e easel, with questions and chatter enough to madden a convention of monkeys, or drive them wild with envy.

Waa Smith Is paifeUng a act of platea but as she only laid on the sky, at the meeting, on one plate, I don't know what the designs are to be. I will give you all the new ideas fart aal learn them, that you, too, may do aome of this most charming work.

I am painting a little study which, when It comes to something, will describe to you. It, like the screen, may tell a story of if® own.

The good temperance people of the

city who are doing the best they can, I euppoae, are doing unintentionally a great harm. Their meetinga are attended by crowde, it is tine baf if thoee daar, good, Innocent old ladiea knew the object many if the attendant* have in view, they would shrink ae they would from a burning building from having anything to do with audi thinga. Good there may be evil there oertai|ily la.

Apathetic note received on Taseday begs me not to "Give the Park bustneas aw|yt pleaae, as it would be a dieadftil thibg for aome of ue boys if any one recognised us in your deacriptiop." But I lip—when I get the "Idyl" in shape.

I ABOUT WOMEN.

Mia. Garfield, Mia. Blaine and Mrs. Windom were school teacher* in early me,.

Mrs. Hunt is reported to be the handsomest woman in the cabinet circle, though not a "society lady."

One Of the grounds on which an Ohio wife demands a divorce is that her husband sleepe with a piatol in hia hand.

ANew York bachelor makee the pertinent and rather novel suggestion that a number of thrifty women might put themselves in the way of a fortune by opening a shop for mending men'a clothes, sewing on buttons, etc

Lneia Zarate, the smallest woman in the world, was born in Mexico. Her parents were Peons, that is to say, half breeds. When born she waa the sise of a rat. It was supposed that ahe was dead, and site was put in a little box that happened to be in the room. Soon, however she began to scream. She was then taken out of the box, and, except that she waa

ao wonderfully small, she soon

played and ran about like any. other child*- I.*,#*' Woman suffrage, remarks the poet WMttier, I regard aa an inevitable thing and a goad thing. Women in public life will bring it up more than' It will bring them down. There will be considerable floundering before society would become completelyadapted to the change* but after it ahall be fairly aocompliahed and in working order, the wOrk «f society will go on without any

makers and adminietretore. Mrs. Abby Morton Diaz, in her new "Domestic Probleme," says: "Woman ia not quite out of her barbaric stage yet. The desire for redundancy of ornament, which ia in bad taate, still remalna. When, women are wieely educated they will let go of noneeeentiale. They may conform to faahion, but they will not feel obliged to do ao." When woman eeases to love that which is beautiful in dress, or ornament, then the barbaric stage begins. A woman in bloomers is not the highest type of dvilization,

AVOTHRR horrible case of being buried alive has occurred. Miss Moseley, a domestic in a family of West Middlesex, Pa., died suddenly a few weeks ago. Her family had moved to Missouri previous to her death, and she was given a respectable burial by her employer. On Friday of last week some friends arrived from Missouri to remove her remains west and on opening the coffin to-day it was discovered that the young lady had been buried alive, while in a trance 1 She had aWakened in her grave and turned over on her side. She waa lying face downwards, hands denched in her hair, and her distorted features plainly showing the intensity of suffering she bad undergone.

THI man who bought his wife a seal sacque last winter thinking it would keep her in good humor forever, finds out hia mistake now. She says she is like a roast turkey in the old thing, and wants one of those satin and jet thinga with ahirrs and scollops, and the land knows what not. Of eourse he will get it, and kiw her, too, when be sees how sweet abe'll look In it.

THE Cincinnati Commercial says the so-called Turkish bath, which sweats the patient with dry hot air, is not known in Turkey. It originated with a Dr. Earter, at Blarney, in Ireland, 1856, and waa soon adopted to England.

A MILD PROTEST, Gazette {BditoriaL

THS Gaaette desires in the atricteat confidence to whisper in the ear of the dever satirist, wboj writee In the Mail over the nomede plume of Soaan Perkina that ladiea are hardly fair game at which to shoot the shafts of newspaper criticism. In the sweet by and by. rhaps, when the suffrage amendment shall V™ been adopted and wvatf/a come pbqc characters in the sea that men ara. then thia sort of tfcfaag will oome about, hut it will be a rueful day at be*, and the fear of it is the strongest of •u argument urged walnat the extension of the ballot. No. Dear, Susan, If we tmj be pardoned for addressing you ao tenderly, take mm for your targets, riddle them with ridSctueu and, if you cannot be happy without hokflng up human eccentridtiea, peculiarities, weakness and foiMee to the public derision, smite men with might, but spare the sex which since it does not enjoy all the righte and privileges of men, should at least have immunity from this one of the pains and penalties of llfle.

Lord Bacon made a capital estimate of what a sermon should be when be said: "Wines, which at first treading run gently, are pleaaanter than those which axe forced from the wine-press, for these taste of the stone and of the husk of tbe grape 80 those doctrines are exceedingly wholesome and sweet which flow from the Scriptures gently pressed, and are not wrested into controversies and commonplaces."

The Rev. O. M. Cousens said in a sermon at Portland, Me., that every member of hia oongregation was a "dder gcucder," and is to be tried for it by his Conference. A revivalist gave almost aa much offence at. Fairfield, Iowa. He said it waa frivoloua for women to wear feathers in their hata, whereupon two girls left the bouse with feathers flying. The preacher called after them: "Thia is God's granary there goes the chaff thank God the wheat remains."

At a meeting of Brooklyn Methodists the other evening, a preacher said that while the rich churcbee hired popular preachers and get the crowds, tbe poor churches had to struggle along aa best they oould with very little encouragementor sympathy from their more fortunate neighbors. Then a Presiding Elder bore testimony to tbe aame effect too many churcbee and persons, he said, looked out for themselves and left their btethern to the cam of Providence. This would have struck the early Christiansas a quser state of things. But then tbey bad auch notions, thoee early Christians!

Tbe disparity of sexes II IShurcBe* Is placed by Zkm% Herald at two to one to favor of tbe women, and the aame pa per also inakea the following rather startling statement: "If we" were to take tbe chmvhss right through the country, we should probably find that not mora than one-tenth of their members are en to the prime of life. The other nine-tentha are women, men who have paascd iSatldlall, ma youths who have not readied their maturity. It* la also to be obeerved that In almost every community tbe majority of the energetic, enterprising boalness men are not avowed and active Christians and if they are with tbe Church it all, it is usually only in the most superficial way."

MULES FOB RUININQ A BOY. The Albany, N. Y., Sunday Press prints some good ones.

They are suited to thia Immediate locality. Tell your boy every day of the week that he's born to be hanged.

Enoourage him to fight with the boys in the neighborhood. Scold him for every trifle, and if you fed in the humor knock him down.

If you see any dy, cunning tricks in him laugh at them and call him cute.2 Tell him twe or three times to de a thing, and if he wont obey, tell him not to mind. Enoourage him in the pleads urehe takes in torturing dumb animale,8o he wont be chicken hearted,

Never reprove him for making fun bl the aged, unless he happena to refer to your own bald head.

When he acknowledges a thing frankly, call him impudent and forward if he saya nothing, call him a blockhead and stubborn.

Give him a night key when he ia a little' way on in his teens and let htm come in when he pleases without disturbing the household.

Let him learn the accomplishment'of dandng clog dances on street corners for a winter night amuaement.

If he makes too much noiae around the house mending slods, fixing boxes, building boats, etc., tell him for pity's. sake to get out of doors—he'll find oorner loungers glad to get hold of him.

Never encourage him when he tries to: study harder than uaual, or has been making an extra effort to be good. Take it for granted that it's no more than he ought to do, and that it would spoil him to pet him.

Go off to church socials, temperance, gatherings, and lodge meetings, and' leave him to spend his eveniugs as he. likes.

Let him boss his little brothers and .slaters as much as he likes, and nover interfere to make peace when they quarrel. rt

Let him see that ills a btg brotti'drV privilege to bully the re*t. If he asks you to buy him story books, or a good magazine, tell him he has his bible and his school books, and besides,, you can't afford it. If he ahould ask for. money to buy a bowie knife or pistol, give It to him on the spot*

Let him see aa toon as possiblevth£t* he's the smartest chap of the pineteenth century, and that his father is nothing' but an old fogy who happened to know enough to make money, but didn't know the first thing as how it ahould be spent.

Tell him that the old story about all work and no play making Jack a dull boy ia played out. That boys are intended to work till they're tired and then go to bed. Meanwhile take in all the?^ amuaements you can yourself, but leave him at home.

Never let it Into your head that a boy's heart ia made out of the best natured and most loveable material in the world and don't be foolish enough to suppose^ that kissing and coaxing will ever got, as much out of him as kicking aruH enfflng. I

Never lev him know that every boy, whether his father be rich or poor, has a career of his own to make, and that if he doesn't stand on his own two feet, and work with his own two hands he'll be nothing but a shiftless ninny to the end of his day*.

Set yourself to work to make money -1 for him to spend when he's grown, and don't take time to have long pleasant walks with him, or to overlook hisstudies, or to have quiet talks with him, or to enter into his boyish schemes or plans, or to relate interesting adventures, or to find out something about his companions and pastimes, o* to show him,r in fact, that you have the least earthly. Interest in him, or that you care for being very well acquainted with him at all. a**" 'st'{'

GIRLS OF THE PERIOD. The young ladies of the day, accordiiijg to a writer in the Free Press, may be divided into two classes. One is tbe Higher Cult. When placed before a graven image on a black velvet background, the aesthete of tbe Higher Cult murmurs:' "This is quite too utterly intense I" They other Is the Sweet Girl Graduate. Her failing Is slang. She never uses it in her father's hearing, but if the old gentleman were within earshot of a group occasionally, he would bear something? like this: "Meet me on the ave' this aft* and we will go to the mat'." "No I not thia aft' on the ave'." "Well, good aft'!" "I had a perfectly mag' time, and don't you forget it." ''Don't give mo away,J Katie." "Well, I should softly exetaim." "I ahould blush to murmur." "I «hould remark." "I ahould mutter." "I should smile." "Are you going to the mtastcale?" "You Just bet am."

Theee are the sweet girlj nl lis fro who stand up In the month of Kmandread cbarminajeasayson'The Real and the Ideal,7 "life as it •boukl be," "Reta-ma," and other practical subjects, and who turn from admiring teachers to whom they have listened wtth mock-serious eyes to eay^ in a low aside, "He's giving us taffy, girls," and who christen everything that does not please them as "snide." The very latest effort of tbe graduate of tho future is this: "Are you going far?" "No not far." "How far?" "Only to the car," "Ta-ta."
