COLLEGE. Criticisms and Unanswered Objeef inns. (R. W. Edwards, in Rnptiid Courier.) It is asserted that there is no reason why the State should not give free tuition in her college which will not hold equally against her eiving “tree education” in her public schools; and that the intiu- ence npoti character is no more det rimental in the one case than in the other. This is an assumption of the.questions at issue ; but if it is insisted that the opponents of free tnition must show the distinc tion, it may be, answered, first, that one falls within the principle of free education and the other does not And this involves the dis cussion of the entire question of State education. The State has no right to nsurp the domestic headship of the family, or to be come the propagator of universal ethics On what principle, then, does she educate at all ? It is on the ground of reciprocal civic rela tions. The State educates her yonth sufficiently to raise them above the viciousness of ignorance, and to fit them for the intelligent exercise of the rights and duties of citizenship If it is the duty of the State to give education, it is the duty of the citizen to receive it. This is Inlly recognized in the school systems of Enropeand Amer ica. Our constitution adopts this principle, and the fundamental law of the State now is that every one to whom free education is onered shall be required to receive it— that, so soon as “free education” is provided for, every child within the age prescribed nhall attend the public school, unless he or she is going to some otiier school. The University is no part of the public school system in this State, and there is no requirement that the youth of the State shall accept the education offered in the college. And, clearly, the college cannot be brought within this principle, be cause the State cannot make the higher education irce to all her youth, and because all could not re ceive it if offered in Columbia. It would be intolerable tyranny for the State to require ail her youth to accept the college education w hich Is ( ffeied ; and this exposes the fallacy ol the classification. Eut why or how is it tiiat free tuition will enervate and injure character mote than tree education? First, because it is the duty of tlo State to provide free primary edu cation, and tne duty of the child (through the parent) to receive it and it is not her duty to provide the higher education freed charge, nor the duty of the youth to receive it. And it never can injure one to discharge a duty and never can fail to injure one to receive a public gra tuity wit In ut the sanction of a re ciprocal obligation. Second, be cause the voluntary principle is in exercise in the one case, and not in the other. The child may receive aid involuntarily, with the sanction of tlie parent, without the slightest injury to character. In fact, it is the period when the best traits of character must he imposed. Hut when one reaches tiie voluntary age, or comes to the period when volition is even partially exercised, the ac ceptance of a public bounty, which, without reciprocal service, is wrong on principle, may at least stiile those better traits ot manhood that pro pel the whole n oral organism. It Is as much an interference with the exercise ot vital activities to offer and administer anodynes as it is to shackle and fetter the limbs, and is more enervating to the will and destructive to morals. Third, be cause the free education provided by the State is at a period when the pupil is under the care and train ing of the parent and the benign in fluences ot home ; and free tuition is offered to youth outside the pale of these influences. And the pol icy of free tuition uiges the accep tance of the offer at the very period when these iutlueiioes are most needed. It did the great Jewish law giver no harm to be called the sou of Pharaoh’s daughter w'hilo his own mother was the nurse; but, when he came to the years of dis cretion, if he had chosen the sncces- sion and the crown, instead of fol lowing the flocks of Jethro in the rough pastures of Midian, be had never become the great leader of all time. Now, there is a period when the State must cease to meddle with the domestic affairs and the ethics ol the people. Where is the line? The right and duty do not extend beyond the reciprocal obligation ; but to offer au unconditional boun ty to those who are in the voluntary period transcends the limits, and offers a premium to the suckers of State pap. But it is asserted that free tuition in the State College cannot prove more injurious than free tuition in other ct llegi'S; and sion turns upon the propriety of a State’s providing free tuition in her college. The State, which by its eonstitUMon can establish no relig ion and favor no denomination, has no right to establish a theological seminary or denominational college. Individuals can establish either or both. If free education is volun tarily provided by lovers of Chris tianity for those who expressly engage to devote themselves to its propagation, this liears no analogy to the blind provision by tie* State for indiscriminate bounties. Second, beneficiary education is provided in such institutions from the free will offerings, by individuals, of tbeir own means. The State makes the provision from the trust funds of the citizens, which are taken from him and appropriated whether he will or not. Conceding the right of the State to do this, and its jus tice too if you choose, the enforced contribution hardens the unwilling almoner, while the free-will offering enlarges the philanthropy of the donator. And the recipient of the State benefaction accepts it as a right, and is only prompted to look to the Sta'e for help in time ot need, or a good oflice in time of want; while the recipient of the generous benefaction is aroused to the very best responses of bis nature/ Tbe conditions under which one receives a benefit determines whether it shall make him or ruin him. Third, beneficiary education is not offered in the denominational colleges to those who do not need it, nor is it indiscriminately provided for all without respect to worth, as it is in the State College, but it is bestow ed upon those who are selected for worth as well as need. It is a moral wrong to give to the unde serving. It hurts the giver, it hurts the recipient, it hurts socie ty. tbe deuomiiiational colleges are charged with inconsistency, and challenged to give tbe distinction. Fiist, then, a theological seminary or denominational college is not the State, and bears no such rela tion to the pupil as the State does to her citizens. Tbe wbolB discus- ’ t ; s V..'Vr A Temperance Bar-room. A writer in tbe Atlanta Consti tution tells of a temperance bar room in Boston that is a great suc cess in every way. It is on Wash ington street, a ml advertises in big letters: “Temperance Drinks.” Mr. Eaton, who* started this establish ment three years ago, says that he lost several thousand dollars the first six months of his experiment. But he is willing and able to wait, lie let his saloon advertise itself by its refreshing drinks and attractive furnishing. No prettier bar-room can be found in Boston. Behind the marble counter stand six young men in whitecoats and caps. Each man wears a flower in Ids button hole anil a pleasant look on his lad* ol being in a business which mak eth not ashamed. Over the conn ter is a long list of the beverages on sale. Be ides ice cold soda in all its agreeable compounds, there are lactarls, egg phosphates, acid pbos pbates, Moxie’s nerve food, hot beef tea, chicken tea, and other refresh ing and invigorating fluids, ad ot the kind that cheers without iuebri ating In the rear of the saloon there is a lunch counter where the very best chicken and ham sand, wiclies, pies, rolls and delicious coffee may he had at moderate rates. On any day at lunch time tbe room will he found crowded, men waiting their tin n to take their lunch Tne custom al this counter is only limited by the room. Mean time at the drink counter there is no intermission in the. stream o! customers. Durirg the hoar spent there talking w*ith the proprietor there were more applicants than could be immediately attended by the large'and active force of attend ants Mr. Baton said they had con sumed a hundred dozen eggs in one day during the hot season tor egg phosphates alone. That means that 1,200 people took a glass of this one fascinating drink on that day What the sales of the drinks were he did not say ; but be does say that the profits of the trade are, iu his opinion, larger as well as clean er. than are made in the bar-rooms of tbe o)d kind, lie has refuse* offers to go elsewhere and repeat his establishment in other large cities. Tbe success he has made in Bostou is due to tbe persona care he gives to each detail of tbe business. Only the very nicest ma terial is used in the preparation of his refreshments. The eggs are furnished by one collector, who is paid nearly doable tbe market price to warrant their freshness So particular is tbe proprietor that be gave up the use of grape milk, a profitable and popular un- fermeuied drink, because be found it contained li per cent, of alcohol. There is no fuss ot philanthropy about bis bar-room; no pretence that it is carried on for other pur- poees than to make money. And the interesting and encouraging feature about it is just here—it real ly pays better than a liquor saloon of its size would pay. What the gains are to the people who accept it, in place of the old tap, no one can tell Bat Mr Baton would be less than human if those gains did not add something to the satisfac tion which be gets from tbe others. Only he does not wish bis business advertised for what it is not it is business strictly with him, not char ity- Never Get into Debt. Not many years ago a yonng man came in town to finish his studies at the officeofoneof our best lawyers. He was well educated, intelligent, agreeable and kind; but he was poor, and m order to support him self tried to get a class in French. A few scholars came, and the thing did not pay. After awhile he paid his land lady, left his boarding house, and took to the woods On the side of a hilt, iu a thick pine grove, he pitched his tent, where he cooked his food, ate, slept, and stndied. Of course his strange con duct made a great deal ol talk. One morning, after a terrible thnn tier storm during the night, his friends hunted him up “You’ll Ik? sick of your bargain af ter this,” they said, “and be glad enough to have a waterproof over your head.” “I did not take the woods from choice,” answered the young man “1 coaid not see my way dear to pay for lodgings, and I am resolved never to be in debt I know too well the danger of being in debt— mj scanty income will carry me through the summer, when I hope better times are coming” Gentlemen offered to aid him, but. he sturdily refused their offers, got through his studies, and has now a large business, which handsomely supports him. Was not that pluck? And did ic not well think that the danger of being iu debt is a serious danger ? wisli more people thought so. Getting loose in money matters is often the beginning of ruin. When a boy or a young man fills into the Tabit of borrowing money, spend ing freely, having this charged, neglecting to pay, dodging his creditors, promising to pay and not keeping ids promise, lie is in n bad way. He forgets, lies, loses his self-respect, and is slowly but surely etting himself down, down, down. The history of many a man shows how far down it may be even to robbery and murder. Two of the worst murders ever committed iu Bostou were done bv respectable men to hide their debts.—One kill ed his intimate friend because he could not pay a debt e hicb he was owing him. The other, a young man, shot in cold blood in broad day a young associate, that be might roll tbe bank lie was in of a few thousands to pay his debts witli. Both did their work cooly, and ap parently without any twinges of conscience. Both were abov* nil suspicion — They had borne a character fair to the world; but there was a weak spot, a screw loose, a canker at the core. They were loose in their money matters. Debts were dog ging at their heels. They had lost their uprightness; ami having lost that, the devil can tempt a soul to anything.—CkikPs Pa per, Pain is Mental. The Scientific American thinks ti at the agitation in regard to the cruelties practised on animals has been rather overdone through ig- norauee ot the nature of pain, which it insists, depends essentially upon the mind, ami not upon the nerves. All animals of lower grade than human suffer very much less pain from physical injuries than our sen sations convey to us. We can read ily see the proof of this iu their habitual actions. Many of the star fishes detach parts of their arms at the very smallest provocation, and remain uninjured by tbe change or loss. A fish that has torn away the hook from a line in its strug gling to escape will take the bait again as soon as its Irigbtdias pass ed off, ami while the hook stil! re mains in the jaw which it lias per forated. A fawn whose foreleg was wounded by a shot bad it amputa ted without an aesthetic, and gave scarcely a sigh ol pain. Coming still higher, we recognize the (act, which is perfectly well known, th it sivages of the human race pay small attention to injuries Again, every surgeon sees convincing proof in his daily experience that the sen sitiveness of his various patients varies so widely that there must be some cause for it beyond that which is physical. There is no such wide diversity in the nerve tissue of their systems as can account for the extreme differences with which they not only manifest pain, but with which they doubtless feel it. The conclusion is that, though tbe transmission of pain is de|>endent on nerve fibres only, its seat and origin are beyond, and are truly not physical at all. Pain is mental Intoxicants at the t'oniinnnion Table. It is gratifying to note the in creasing thoughtfulness ami care of pastors, officers and members of jinirches concerning tbe use ot alco holic intoxicating wine as a com munion symbol. Canon Wilberforee is reported as saying that he “bad known terribly real and undoubted instate es iu which men, by partak ing of wine from the sacramental cup, had been started on their downward course to a dishonored grave.” He added that “if it came to be a question whether the wine or the Christian should he banish ed from the table of the Lord, he could not hesitate for a moment as to which should go. From the sac ramental table over which he had more immediate control iutoxicat- ug wine had now long been banish ed, and in this he believed they were carrying out the true spirit and meaning of the sacrament.” It is quite time for all churches of every denomination to banish the intoxicating wine-cup from the com munion table, as from tbe tables and sideboards of their individual members. Twenty-five Years Silence. One of the queer cases of domes tic infelicity which will soon be tried on a divorce libel in the court of this country is the outgrow lb of a difficult^ which arose on an even ing twenty five years ago between a husband and wife, then of a middle age During all of these wearisome years the husband ami wife have lived together, but have not spok en. Communication was bv inter pretation—never direct. No tete atetes.no confidences, no discus sion of things of mutual interest to husband and wife no plans tor the future, no common thought for (he welfare of their children. This farce was kepi, up until about a month ago. If ever a man or woman for gets anything it is when the house hold is enjoying its spring moving, It was so in tins case. The wife spoke to her husband on this occa sion for the first time in 25 years. She said:'“Where’s the nails?” He looked at her and said nothing. The conversation, it is reported, has never progressed beyond this point. We will bet a nickel that after it happened the woman wonld rather have bitten her tongue off than have broken the eloquent silence of a quarter ot a century with that momentous, soul-thrilling sentence “Where’s the nails?” It is said that now that the nails, instead of closing the breach, have only wid ened it, the nubappy pair are to seek bliss apart, through tbe me dium of the court*. We can almost imagine the weRrsome sigh of a hundred husbands for just about a week of evenings of that man’s mar ried life ‘ Some folks,” says Smith and Jones, “don’t know when tbey are well off.” Active, Poshing and Reliable.

It is not generally known that Prince Ludwig, of Battenberg, son of Prince Alexander of Hesse, is a practical printer. Like most of tbe Piinces of the Prussian royal house who have been taught either an art or a trade, Prince Ludwig of Batten- berg was early called upon to choose a calling, and bis choice fell upon the nrtot Guttenberg. In tbe palace of his father the Prince has a printing office comp'etely fitted up for ordinary printing and book work. Prince Ludwig prides him self on his ability to compete with compositors and printers who fol low typography for a livelihood. What is still more interesting, is that the Piincess, the eldest daugh ter of the Grand Duke of Hesse, is a printer, too, and that the high born pair work regularly together at the case. The latest work which lias come from Prince Ludwig of Bat ten berg’s press is a volume of notes on travels written by the Prince’s sister, the Countess of Er- bach Scbonberg. The book is said to be executed in a thoroughly printer like way. Julie Early's Nigger Joe. One of tbe best known characters in Lynchburg, Va M is “Jube Early’s nigger Joe.” Joe is an old negro, with all the dignity ot a hod/ rervant of the slavery days, and his affection for tbe General amounts to worship. Jnbe owned Joe before the war, and owns him still; Joe never having been treed, scorning to accept what be says does not belong t> him, and say ing as long as Mass Julm wse stive Joe is his slave. Karly is very fond of his slave, and would shoot quick er in defence of the negro tbsn snj- body else He has given Joe caft* blanche to buy what he likes In tiie town, and has instructed store keepers, no matter what Joe waate» or how much it will cost, to it to him and send tbe bill to bis master. Sometimes Barly gets rather the «ors* for whiskey, and then a comicsl sight is seen. Joe follows him like a dog, and when the General gets very drank Joe will sav: “Mass Jube, you mas’ come home.” “Why, yon black rasosl, whet do you mean ? I’m your mat ter.” “Yes, Mass Jnbe, when jou’ae so ber; when you’se<:rnnk 1’se mse- sa.” “Well, 1 reckon yon are right, old man. I’ll go with ) on.”—Bestow Traveller. Wonderful Cores. W. D.
