stands unimpeached at Washing
ton we have faithful public serv
ants everywhere as a rule. When

head. When the chiefs of the na

Reverse the picture. Let the
electric button at the White House
be pressed by a finger stained
with gift-taking, with bribery and
corruption, with jobbery and po
litical knavery, and the tainted
current that spreads through the
system debases and degrades as it
goes. "When tha ^presidency is
dishonored, the public service cor

rascality honored and rewarded,all

What a lesson this little inci

the President-elect who goes into
the White House with the advan

It will be President Cleveland’s
noble mission so to press the but

dignify the public service and
drive out corruption from its lurk

A, S, GILES, Ordinary U2g,
as ever graced metropolitan boards,
calmly greeted his audience. He
was plainly but neatly dressed,
and there was about him that easy
air of refinement, that “dainty
grace” of look and attitude, which
seems to be the natural accompa
niment of the fine musician. He
was middle-aged, and in his e>es
there was a saddened expression,
a far-a-way look of longing and of
tenderness, as if they would call
back into the scope of vision the
lineaments of some being loved
-and lost, “that the world could not
restore.”
Adjusting his violin, he softly
drew the bow. A faint, exquisite
far-away sound came stealing upon
our expectant senses. It rose
-from the deeps of silence as rose
Aphrodiir from the hushed and
and charmed seas that lie by the
Cyprian isle. It was the awaking
of the twin sisters, melody and"
harmony, from their slumberous
repose in the arms of their moth
er, love. It. was a. re-echoing
strain from the soul of Orpheus or
Linus, stealing softly back to the
fields of Asphodel. But anon the
quickening tones grew louder be
neath the quickening energy of
the gliding bow. From the gtoeet
song notes the music rose to the
^yokiptaous swoll” of the waltz
•and the fantasia.
From the dream land of the far-
heard strains we were gradually
awakened to the mellow gush of
more exultant notes, and soon our
pulses were conscious of a quicker
throbbing. The bird voices of
Eden seemed to fill and glorify the
ambient air again. And all the
while the magic bow added the
poetry of motion to the soul of
music, now in “staccato” leaping
and trilling as it chopped.the grace
notes into eestacies of jubilant
music; now in ‘legato” softly and
sweetly gliding over the answer
ing strings with as murmurous
tones as ever charmed whisperin b
lovers among the rose-scented
zephyrs of Hymettus in the olden
time.
And so we thrilled and tranced
and dreamed and wondered. We
dreamed of other and Better days
when young hope rocked the soul
to sleep in the arms of music, and
all his life was" love. We wonder
ed by what strange metempsycho
sis it was that we were vividly
conscious of having seen that same
performer and heard those same
bewitching sounds from that same
violin long ago.
~ The stranger violinist passed
away, but his music has gone into
our inner being there to remain 1
forever.
that a boy or girl may learn more
in one month at the exposition,
than he or she can learn in college
in three years; can learn- some
things that colleges cannot teach.
The practical examination of
methods and results* the mingling
with the people of every clime, the
observations of dress, habits and
race peculiarities that may be had
in thirty days at New Orleans con
stitute io themselves for anyone a
liberal education.
But the actual knowledge gained
is as nothing compared with the
stimulus and assistance given by
such an experience. With what
increased intelligence must the
youth converse upon all these sub
jects in the years to come! With
what deepened interest must he
read the history of Mexico, Cen
tral and South America, and the
traus-Atlantic countries! How
broadened must be his compre
hension of the business in life;
how grand his idea of the extent
and power of his native land. A
trip to New Orleans, with time
to study the great show now open
there, must affect for good the fu
ture" of every boy or girl so favor
ed, and the country itself. No one
can see the vast power of the
United States as displayed in the
evidences of its natural, industrial
and social wealth without having
his pride of country stimulated,
his patriotism broadened.
It will be long before such an
opportunity will be again offered
the Southern people. Expositions
there will be, without doubt, as
comprehensive, as valuable as this,
but the youth of co-day will be a
setLled manJbefore he sees such, an
other‘exposition in the South.

The vice of opium smoking seems
to be already pretty thoroughly
rooted here, and the Chinese are
not alone addicted to it. The -hab
it has spread among the native
population to a surprising extent,
and the police are constantly
breaking up opium joints where
men and women of the Aryan race
are found among the smokers.
For instance, on Saturday night
they made a raid on such an es
tablishment in the Sixth avenue
and arrested the large number of
twenty-three men and seven wo
men. The prisoners, too, were, all
young people of decent antece
dents—merchants’ clerks and me
chanics, dressmakers, and,the like
—and the women, we are. told,
were good-looking and well dress
ed; but the faces of most of the
company bore indubitable evi
dences of the habituation of the
opium vice.
Probably these men and women
were fair samples of American
opium smokers, who seem in a
large part to belong to very res
pectable people, though some of
them are undoubtedly in the low
est depths of degradation. But
this vice, so lately introduced here,
and hitherto confined to China, is
drawin into its meshes large num
bers of young persons of excellent
associations. There seem to be
many of the opium joints in the
city, and their number is probably
greater than even the police sus
pect, while of the smokers there
seems to be enough to furnish oc
casion for serious alarm less the
new vice is destined to make much
trouble for us in the future.
We suppose the habit is formed
by silly and reckless young people,
who first take a smoke out of cu
riosity, and who become depend
ent on the drug before they are
aware of their subjection. They
do not seem to be old enough as a
rule, to have acquired a taste for
opium in other forms, and many
of them seem to be temperate so
far as alcohol is concerned.
The danger that this vice will
become an evil of formidable pro
portions is the greater because the
number of people already here,
young and old, who are victims of
indulgence in opium is already
very large. Every apothecary has
his regular opium customers, and
there is scarcely a village where
slaves to the opium habit are not
to be found. Since the introduc
tion of injections of morphine un
der the skin the number of these
wretched victims has greatly in
creased, and now the Chinese have
brought to us this new form of the
vice, and it is spreading with fatal
rapidity.
Of course, it is impossible for
the law to break up the habit. The
police may raid an opium joint ev
ery day, but the opium smokers
will find the means of gratifying
depravsd tastes elsewhere,
for the vice holds its victim in
worse bondage than that of the
drunkard, and he will get the drug
by hook or crook.
Perhaps iu the next century, in
stead of the old-fashioned temper
ance agitation, we shall have a
great moral and religions battle
with opium smoking.
Dawson, Ga., August 30,1SSL—
I suffered with tetter eleven years.
It was on my face and body, and
gave me untold trouble and pain,
I tried the virtue of many reme
dies, and was treated by some of
the best physicians in the country,
but found no relief, and had al
most despaired of my life. I was
induced to try Swift’s Specific as
a last r^ort After taking six
bottles tbe tetter was removed and
my skin smoothed off, and I am
perfectly welL I feel like, a new
man. Swift’s Specific is undoubL
edly the'best blood purifier in the
world, and I recommend it to suf
fering humanity everywhere.

For aver two years I was afflicted
with a ring-worm on my neck,
which would peel off and burn
like fire. Calling on an M. D., he
pronounced it a cutaneous erup
tion of the cuticle. This fright
ened me, and after trying every
thing in the market, including
Fowler’s solution of arsenic, with
out success, I was advised to * try
S. S. S., which. I did, and after
taking two small bottles a perma
nent cure was effected.

A CHILD.
My little son, now seven years
old, broke out when a babe three
weeks with what the doctors called
eczema, beginning on the head and
gradually spreading over his whole
body. He was treated for five
years or more by various physi
cians without relief, and the little
boy’s health was completely broken
down. About a year ago I was
induced to use on him Swift’s
Specific, and two bottles eurUd
him sound and well, and there has
been no sign of a return of the
disease. F. O. Holmes,
