Ho is popular with the Long Branch ladies as a beau, and with Republican editors as an issue. The effort to boom Gen. Sheridan as a Presidential candidate doesn’t meet with much success. If be is wise he will be sat isfied with the position ho has. It looks as if the Volunteer would bo chosen to defend the America’s cup against the Thistle, and it looks very much as if she would defend it successfully if selected for the task. Of the ijincty-five suicides in Philadelphia last year only five were attributed to love while thirty-flvo were duo to family troubles. Young men who notice this record may be inclined to stick to love and let marriage alone. Policemen of this city might engage in a little pistol practice with goats as targets without giving any offense to the public. The goats seem to find the front stoo| of residences a very pleasant place to pass the long, hot days. There is a very fair prospect, that an ap propriation will he made for repairs to the State University. The University building ought to be kept in a good condition, and the standard of education and discipline ought to boa high one. If the delegations which go to Washing ton to invite tile President to visit their re spective cities continue to insist that Mrs. Cleveland shall accompany him, he will lio gin to wonder after awhile, perhaps, whether his wife is not more i>opular than be is. In view of the bitter sentiments which Gov. Forakor, of Ohio, has expressed with regard to the President recently, his rather gushing dispatch to the President on Friduy asking him to visit Ohio cities during his Western trip can hardly have contoimxl much sincerity. Many of the farmers of the Legislature would doubtless much rather bo at home looking alter their crops, which are seri ously threatened with ruin from the effects of the late storm, but tlio most of thorn are ticking to their jxists and doing their dutys in a satisfactory wav. The President has got the Washington hotel papers down on him. They don't see why he should have discouraged delegations from coming to Washington to invite him to visit tfieir respective cities. They don’t like the idea of the President’s taking the bread our of tlioir mouths, as it were. Cincinnati is bragging about the gran 1 centennial exposition which slip is going to have next year. The money—sl,ooo,ooo— for an nfTair that will satisfy Cin cinnati's pride has born guaranteed. Per haps an appeal will bo inado for Federal hel)i. Such appeals seem to l> in order now adays. Six attempts have been made to burn out the New York Zcitung, a prosperous Ger man paj>or, and it is believed tlmt An archists are responsible for the attempts. The jieoplo will get tired of the Anarchists after nwliiie, and then something will be likely to occur that will cause a void in the Anarchists’ ranks. It is pretty well ascertained that the Dean bill, which provides for the sule of the Western and Atlantic railroad, will be re ported favorably to the Senate. The road ought to 1)6 sold. It will boa source of trouble to the State as long ns the State re tains possession of it. A good price can be obtained for it now. and the money can be used advantageously in paying the State debt. _ Mr. Blaine is very generous. When lie board that the Ohio convention had indorsed Mr. Sherman for President ho is reported to have remarked: “Mr. Sherman is a good man and 1 am glad tlmt my friends gave him the indoiseinont he seemed sounxious to have, and I con frankly say that it will receive respectful consideration in the na tional convention." Remarks like these from his rival must (111 Mr. Sherman’s heart with joy. The arguments which have been advanced in favor of Dr. Felton’s bill oi'eating n re fomintorydnstitution are very strong ones. It remains to ho seen w hether they are strong enough to overeomo tljo disinclina lion of the Legislature to make any depart uro w ith respeet to the convicts which in volves the exiienditure of a large mini of money. The Legislature does not np]<nr to be extravagant with the people's money, except in the matter of long and extra ses- SlUlitf. The Glenn Bill at the North. The Glenn bill is attracting a great deal more attention at the North than at the South. Some of the Republican journals are certain that it is a wicked and nn out rageous measure, and insist that tho North ern people shall put the stamp of their dis approval upon it. In view of the fact that these same journals had nothing to say when the owner of Asbury Park, N. J., proposed to deprive tho colored jieople of the privileges of that seaside resort their attitude on the bill ought not to command mnch attention. They must show that thoy are consistent before they can expect to have much weight in the discussion of color line questions. At the meeting called in Boston last Wednesday night to consider the Glenn bill there was a great deal of nonsensical talk. One of the speakers expressed tho opinion that Representative Glenn was a Demo cratic politician whose only object was to increase his popularity with his party in his section of tho State. Another of tho speakers, a colored man whom Butler, when Governor of Massachusetts, attempted to make Judge of the Cambridge district, and whom tho white people of Cambridge re fused to accept, advised tho colored people to use dynamite to secure their rights. Doubtless tho Cambridge people wore quite right in refusing to have that Colored man for their Judge. Tho impression seems to prevail at the North that there is desire on tho part of the white people of Georgia to deprive tho col ored people of educational advantages. That is a great mistake. Tho white people aro tho friends of tho colored people, and are anxious to assist them in improving their condition. They are satisfied that mixed schools will not benefit them any more than they will bonefit the white peo ple. In fact, thoy aro quite certain that such schools will be harmful to both races. There Is a strong sentiment in this State, and in every Southern State, against the co-education of the races. Indeed, this sen timent is not confined to the South. It ex ists, in a lesser degree perhaps, at the North. It, is loss noticeable in that section because thero are comparatively fow colored people there, and tho percentage of them who are educated in proportion to their number is much larger than it is at tho South. But even with those favorable conditions mixed schools aro not be tolerated there. Why, then, should there ho such an outcry in that section when it is proposed, here in Georgia, to put an obstacle in the way of mixed schools? The Glenn bill is in tho interest, of the col ored people, and if they hod not been in spired by Northern agitators they would not have thought of raising an objection to it. The common schools are necessary for their advancement. Without thorn they would go backward iustead of forward. The white people support these schools, nnd the colored people get their sharo of the benefits of them. Whatever threatens to injure them, therefore, is inimical to the interests of the colored people. Mixed schools threaten to injure them, and, hence, it is for the good of the colored people that thoy should be protected. Tho Oi nn bill is nothing more than n prohibitory measure relating to tho coedu cation of tho races. White children have been thrust into two educational institu tions at Atlanta. The Glenn bill says that these institutions which aro intended for colored students alone shall not ho turned into mixed schools, nnd it prevents mixed schools from hoing taught anywhere else in tho State. The bill is not aimed at the At lanta schools, but is intended to check at one" something which, if permitted to pass unnoticed, will eventually bring about a condition of affairs which will make com mon schools impossible. It is intended to be for the good of the black as well as tho white raco. Whether it will prove to be so, time alone can tell. Tho ablest men in tho Legislature regard it as legislation in the right direction. Tho Sentences of tho Chicago Boodlera. The Chicago boodlors received compara tively light sentence*. They ought to have Uxm punished ax severely as the law would permit. Tho charges against thorn were fully proven, and they were shown to be a very corrupt lot of officials. As commis sioners of tho county in which Chicago is situated, they had frequent opportunities of robbing the tax-payers, and these oppor tunities they improved, greatly to their own pecuniary benefit. Thoy compelled those who obtained contracts for furnish ing the county with supplies to pay heavily for them. They wore guilty of a double crime. They not only forced the contractors to bribe them, but they corrupts si the con tractors. Of course the contractors made out of tho county every dollar which they paid to tho commissioners. They furnished inforior ar ticles nnd charged full prices for them. Their bills were allowed without being questioned, because those who passed upon thorn were in tho conspiracy to rob tho county. Some of the guilty parties were defiant during the trial. All of thorn maintained a tsihi front and insisted upon their innocom-e until the proof against, them became over whelming. One of them, after hts convic tion, got away from the Sheriff by a trick and escaped to Canada. Of course he fie ri iris) that he was nn innooont man, and that he was l>"ing persecuted bv his enemies. Unfortunately the evidence did not leave a doubt of his guilt, and his assertions of his innocence only served to make him more contemptible in tho estimation of honest men. Dishonesty among officials in tho large eitii i is becoming altogether too common. Recently a majority of the Aldermen of tiie city of New York were bribed to give away a charter for which the city could havo ob tnined hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is unknown liow many other things they did for which thoy received bribes, but it is pretty safe to say that they were disloyal to their trust whenever it paid them to bo so. Judges ought to have no sympathy with such in m, nnd thoy ought not to show them any leniency. Boodlors as a rule are not ignorant men. They are competent to dis charge their duties honestly, and they are fully acquainted with tho laws against dis honest official acts. If, therefore, they choose to take n crooked course they should lie made to pay the full penalty of their crimes. A strict and prompt enforcement of tho law is the only way to check such crimes as they oommit. Thero appe.w* to boa good deal of ro mancing about, the interference of Federal officials In the Democratic primaries iu Bal timore lately. Tho MHertlon that there was interference meets with prompt denial, but the denial don’t worn to prevent the asser tion from hoing reiterated. Homebody must have very little ivgurd for the truth. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, AUGUST 7, 1&87. Alcoljpl From Two Standpoints. Dr. W. 11. S-arle has an article in the current number of the North American Re view which doubtless does not meet with tho approval of Prohibitionists. It is en titled '‘Sedentary Men nnd Stimulants.” Dr. Searle says that the percentage of brain workers who sutler from dyspepsia and bil iousness is pro;>ortionally greater than that of those who are engaged in manual labor. In fact, these maladies are distinctively those of sedentary men. The reason, he thinks, is this: More food is required to repair the waste of the muscles, etc., than of the brain. The brain-worker, however, eats about as much as the man who is engaged in hard physical labor. He does not require all that he eats, while the man who labors with his hands does. Tho food of each contains about tho same constituents, nnd “each mouthful has a definite fixed proportion of elements—so much for tho skin, so much for the muscles, so much for the brain, etc.” If the food of each, therefore, contains the samo constitu ents, and each takes the same amount, it is apparent that the brain-worker does not get all he needs for his brain unless he cats more than ho needs for his muscles, skin, etc. Tho laboring man may eat a lit tle more than he may need for his brain, while supplying the demand of his muscles, but the effect is comparatively harmless, be cause the excess of material for so small a portion of the body is easily gotten rid of. With the brain worker, however, tho effect is different. His excess of material is for the greater portion of the body, nnd the difficulty of getting rid of it shows itself in tho shupe of dyspepsia and biliousness. It is about impossible to secure exactly the kind of food which our systems need. If it were possible to give each part of tho body the material that is needed for its re pair, and in tho quantity that is required, some of tho most aggravating diseases couid perhaps be avoided, but as science has not yet discovered the kinds of food that are best adapted to tho different parts of the body. Dr. Seurle believes that paratriptics, which are preventers of waste in tho body, can bo resorted to by sedentary workers with beneficial results. These paratriptirs are alcohol in its various forms, tea, coffee and tobacco. These are the ones in most common use. Tho South American coca and tho betel nut are used to some extent. The most harmful of all of these is, of course, alcohol, but each of them is capablo of doing harm, and does do harm when used to excess. Tho effect of paratriptics is to render the appetite less keen The sedentary man who uses alcohol, tobacco, coffee, tea, etc., does not eat so heartily as the one who does not use thorn. Of course the effect of tea and coffee is much less noticeable than that of alcoholic drinks or even of tobacco. Ac cording to Dr. Scarle’s theory, therefore, the use of paratriptics by a sedentary man renders him less liable to dyspepsia and bil iousness. In this connection it may bo interesting to call attention to nn article by Capt. A. 11. Grooly, in the August Forum, in which he aims to show that the use of alcoholic drinks in the Arctic region is not beneficial, lie says that those who drink intoxicating liquors are much less able to stand severe cold or to endure hard labor when the thermometer is far below zero than those who drink only hot coffee and tea. So con fident did his men becomo of this on his last expedition to tho Arctic regions that nearly all of them declined to touch alcohol in any form. Those who did drink it exhibited greater strength for a little while after drinking, but there soon came a reaction, and their strength then was much below the average. If it were not for the fact that it might tie beneficial at times ns a mental stimulus Capt. Greoly thinks that its use might be advantageously dispensed with in Arctic exploring expeditious altogether. It wifi probably lie claimed that the man Pittman, who stabbed his daughter to death in New York the other day, becauso she in sisted against his will upon marrying a re spectable young rrtau, will try to save his nook from tho halter liy pleading that he was insane. The most of those who com mit brutal crimes and plead insanity are about as sane as tho average citizen is. They yield to their evil inclinations, and when threatened with punishment plead irresponsibility. It is curious that juries can be obtained that will accept that plea. A man who shot an inoffensive policeman to death some timo ago in Montgomery, Ala., was convicted last Wednesday of man slaughter nnd sonteneoil to thirty months in tho penitentiary. It is difficult to find any reason why he shouldn't havo been sent to the gallows. Senator Stanford thinks that the Pacific railroad commissioners, who are inquiring into the management of tho Pacific railroad, are more inquisitive than tho average news paper reporter. It is not to bo wondered that ho is annoyed by their questions. There are things connected with the management of the Pacific roads, doubtless, which thoie who have tho management of these roads wouldn't like tho public to know about. The committee appointed to investigate the charge against Judge Fain and others, and also to find out wlint the influences, if any, were which induced the Legislature to donate SIOO,OOO to the Marietta and North Georgia ruilroad have found out, it seems, that they have not yet completed their work, and that it is high timo that they were pushing tho investigation to a close. The young man Ives who deposited con siderable eash and some securities with Mr. Rol i Tt Garrett to secure an option on the Bal timore and Ohio railroad and who lost his option, cash and collateral, con tiaues to bathe sensation of Wall street. He was eoinjielled to mortgage his yacht the other day to get. tho necessary cash to keep himself from bankruptcy. It is claimed that tho man Mooney, who tried to destroy the British ship Queen the other day by throwing a bottle of phosphate on Ik r deck, is a crank. But is ho to be ex cused from punishment on that account? Cranks that insist upon breaking the laws ought, to lie put where they wouldn’t ho in u position to break them. The eccentric Miss Hoyt, who has lieen fighting for several years in the courts to obtain possession of her late father’s millions, is making life u burden to her mother and those who come into contact with her in a business way. She would lie happier nnd less troublesomo in an insane asylum. An Oregonian claims to have made a dis covery that puts to shame tiie electric lights now in use. He simply punches tho graund with a wire and obtains a light that is dnz zlingly brilliant. Ho does not sell county rights, however, so that there must be some trick about Ins discovery.

If he asks anything, is he not justified in asking what he can earn? The Correct Policy. From the New York Evening Post ( Tnd.) Georgia, like every other Southern State, and like many Northern Stales until recent years, has always maintained separate schools for ihe two races. Tho constitution provides for “a thorough system of common schools,” which “shall be free to all citizens of the State, but separate schools shall i>e provided for the white and colored races.” The wisdom of this policy, in the present condition of public sentiment on the race question throughout, the South, is not doubted by any intelligent man at the North.

The Pain from a Pugilist’s Blow. From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. It has been said that the hurts suff<*red in pugilism are particularly severe, and that but tew pains equal the pain resulting from a blow of the fist squarely and forcibly delivered upon the nose. An incident which goes to sup port this allegation is reported from Paris. A lion-tamer in one of the Boulevard shows was set upon by a powerful and irritable old lion, whose cage he had entered according to habit ’ in.the course of an entertainment. The beast made his attack without warning or particular cause, and in au instant the man was upon his hack between the lion's paws. The spectators screamed, thinking it was an end or the lion tamer, hut, like a Hash, ho was upon his feet, and. striking out with his right in accurate pugilistic style, lamlod his fist upon the lion’s nose with a spat that was heard all over the place. The lion wheezed and sneezed and hacked away, shaking his head and shutting his eyes as if dazed, while the man stepped quickly, hut with dignity, out of the cage. The blow was a good one, and if if ha/1 fallen upon a man would have undoubtedly “knocked him out.” Evidently it made thy lio*n tingle .from the spot where it was delivered to the tip of the tail. An Aristocratic Coachman. From the. Boston Commercial Bulletin. It was on amusing sight, a few weeks since, to see one of those still, upright, imitation Eng lish coachmen sitting on his box in front of Pierce's grocery store, whip well poised, reins properly grasped in white gloved hands, gaze directed straight forward between the ears of the well groomed horses. Anon out comes a clerk from the store with a well-tilled paper bag, opens the carriage door, places the hag within upon the seat, ami recloses the door with a slam. tscam*ly had he turned away when the coachman started off bis team with a stately trot, nor halted till he arrived at the mansion of a wealthy resident iu an aristocratic quarter, before wnieh he halted and solemnly waited. In /i few minutes a maid servant rushed ou t. “Why. what's the matter, John? Where are the ladies?” “Eh? Hinside, I suppose. Darn't you hopen the door?” “Oi>en the door! Why. there is no one in the carriage. Where did you drive from?” •'Bless my 'eart! No one them? Why, I just drove from Pierce's grocery store and 'card the coach door shut when they got in.” “Got in! Why, they did hot get in, and you have given a bag of soda crackers a ride home and left the ladles behind.” Such was the case, and the solemn John went bock at a brisker pace, resolving to trust his eyes rather than his ears in the future. Students’ Stories. From the St. James Gazette. Among storio3 of examinations, those that arc most popular with the students are told at the expense of the examiners. We have two capital ones at Edinburgh. According to the first an examiner had made himself obnoxious by warning the,students against putting their hats on his desk. The university in the Scottish capital is remarkable for a scarcity of cloak rooms, and iu the excitement of examination hats are, or used to lx?, flung down anywhere. This examiner announced one day that if he found another hat on his desk he' won id rip it up. Next day no hats were laid there when the students assembled. Presently, however, the examiner was called out of the room. Then some naughty undergraduate slipped from his seat, got the examiner’s bat, and placed it on the desk. When the examiner re-entered the hall every eye was fixed on him. Ke observed the hat and a gleam of triumph shot across his face. “Gentlemen,” ho said. ' I told you what would happen if this occurred again.” Then he took his penknife from his pocket, opened it, and blandly cut the hat in pieces, amidst loud and prolonged applause. They do say that there were other examiners in the room at the time who could have warned him had they chosen. Another story illustrates the fact that the student may sometimes be too much for his ex aminer. Soon after the examination oj>ened he was oosorved looking around him stealthily as if meditating £uile. From the other end or the hall the examiners watched him narrowly ; so did a number of students. lie took a handker chief from his pocket and spread it over his knee. Every few minutes he lifted up the handkerchief and looked beneath it, and then wrote with renewed vigor. It seemed a clear case of copying, so an active examiner pounced upon'him. The student whisked the handker chief into his pocket. “Come, Mr. ,” said tha examiner, “I must see your handkerchief.” “Certainly, sir,” said the student, blandly, showing it to him. Then the pocket was searched, with no result. The student began to grin, and then the other competitors, and then the other examiners followed suit. Obviously it was a practical joke, though at the time no one. knew how practical. The crestfallen examiner returned to his desk, and soon afterward the student took a small book froiA his pocket, spread it oivn on his knee, and seemed to re sume his old tactics. The fear of being “sold again" kept the examiners from interfering this time; but, w'hen they looked at his paper subsequently, it was seen that his answers had come from a “crib.” Whether his ingenuity availed him in the end I cannot say. From Six to Twenty-Two. In a dear New England hamlet which I do not dare to name I lately met a household of captivating fame; Twelve sisters were in its treasures. In a cot tage by the sea They formed a sort of complicated banyan family tree. I spent my three weeks’ outing in a pretty pen sion near; It was a joy to fish or sail, to bathe or breathe the atmosphere; But the cottage of those maidens kept gloam ing ou my view, So one day 1 found the way to it—a perilous thing to do. I had met the happy parents of this lovely group before. And a lett r was not needed to bring me to their door—- The dozen girls were strangers, but strong hints were blown about That their lieauty was bewitching—and their charms beyond a doubt. My friendship with the mother grew up in such a way That the visit seemed (I thought it did) impera tive to pay; Of course so much attraction was difllcult to shun, And 1 hate procrastination when a duty must be done. Though tin' sisters’ jostling ages ranged from six to twenty-two, ’Twas easy with the younger ones to know just what to do; They would run with joy to meet me. and, to match their childish bliss, I must throw my arms around them and bestow a friendly kiss. But here came up a problem so intricate and vexed. What sort of a salutation should he proffered to the next. The upper tiers in stature? (I’m susceptible. I’m told, Yet 1 wouldn’t greet them wrongly for their precious weight in gold.) Very soon the door Hew open on the mother’s dazed surprise; , I was inhere! in with unction; there was w*l come in her eyes: Then the girls, for some odd reason, to niftke matters just the worst, Filed along iu youthful order, each one younger coming first. Now, if one a kiss impresses to salute with at the start. To a rosy girl procession half a head in height apart. Can any Mrs Grundy with explicitness define When th-* kiss must cool to handshake, or where falls the danger line? I should be a sorry vet emu to falter on my way, Qr do uneven homage in the middle of the fray; I could not Ik? so partial as my courtesies to drop, When the reasons for proeecdiug were as many ato stop. I am sure there arc some puzzles I shall never figure out, But, with girls still fearless coming, 1 gave my self the doubt: I sealed the upward ladder (what else was there to do?) And 1 didn't skip a sister from six to twenty two Joti.l Usw'fvtv ITEMS OF INTEREST. The boys of Portchester, N. Y., have a base ball ground provided for t hem at the expense of the village.

The one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the arrival at Kazan, Russia, of the miraculous image or ikon which forms the principal object of attraction in the celebrated cathedral of that city has just lieen celebrated there. It was in 118? that it was removed, after a concealment of twenty-seven y ears at St. Petersburg, to Kazan by the Empress Anne Ivanova. Before that its home had been at Moscow, and to its instrumentality had been attributed the expul sion of the Roles in PJI3. The ikon is attired in a gold dress ornamented with fine pearls, which was the gift of the Empress Marie Feo dorovna and Elizabeth Alexeievna, the mother and wife of the Emperor Alexander I. An amusing incident occurred in the French Chamber of Deputies recently. M. Paul de Cas sagnac, while the House was engaged in vot ing. unfolded a lurge blue placard, on which were inscribed the words, “Amer Boulanger.” It was the advertisement of anew liquor, which the inventor, with an eve to business, had dub bed with the name of the late Minister of War. The Radicals, horrified at the profanation, were loud in their protests. M. Ducue called out that the Chamber was not the place for advertise ments, and M. Paul de ('assugnac retorted t hat they were in a entr'acte. Finally M. Floquetin terfered, and asked the deputies, who had crowded round the Bonapartist member, to re turn to their -.oats. This they did, amid a good deal of laughter. A plague of mosquitoes, said to exceed any thing of the kind ever known there before, drove guests away from the shore hotels in the vi cinity of New Haven, Conn., on Sunday. A dis patch from that city says: “At times the air was fairly black with them. On Saturday eve ning fires had to be burned all along the coast on the east shore in the immediate vicinity of New Haven. The insects were so thick and troublesome that horses were made unmanagea ble and people were compelled to sleep out of doors wrapped in mosquito netting. The mos quitoes are supposed to have come over from Long Island. There are millions of the insects in this city to-night, and the suffering all along the coast has l>een intense. The scourge was abating somewhat to day. If it continues it will ruin business at all the resorts hereabout.” Miss Amizlie Rives is said to have already written reams of matter as good as her succes ful “Brother; to Dragoons.” She has long lieca engaged to marry Persian Minister Pratt, whoso low flnancsal status has delayed the wedding for years. She had the reputation, even in her tender years, of being a very lofty personage, One day a gentleman called at her Alabama home, and, as usual v. ilh guests, was kept wait ing several hours, until she finished painting a picture. As he entered her studio -she turned and said: “Now that I have finished this work. I will devote some time to you.” He bowed and left the studio, remarking: “Now that 1 have finished waiting for you. I will devote some time to myself.” The Minister to Persia figures as the hero in this case, us it was the first occa sion she had ever been matched, and she fell in love with the victor.
