B ETNOT.T)S, f tr.tj} .4. VCVGIJSS, Kmtoi.s. Ex-Chaxcku.or James P. Carroll died at Cafsar’s Head on Friday last, lie was one of the finest lawyers, , ablest judges and altogether estimable gentlemen the Slate has oveV produced. Alt-csta Chronicle: Senator Wade Hampton will quietly succeed himself in the Senate, lie is one of the most distinguislied Senators and an object of groat curiosity to strangers who visit the capital. He docs not occupy tho time of (he Senate a gre?U deal, hut he fills a large historic space in the Chamber. Hon. Jokl Pai;kkk, known as the war Governor of New Jersey, has con sented to be a rtuididale for that posi tion again, provided the Democrats u mnimously tender him the nomina tion. Mr. Parker is considered the strongest man in his party in that State, and he will doubtless be chosen as the Democratic standard-bearer. The Philadelphia Time*, states that of the original Buchanan Cabinet, Jacob Thompson, Secretary of the In terior, is tho only survivor since the recent death of Judge Black. Of the original Lincoln Cabinet, Simon Came ron, Secretary of War, is the only sur- vivor since the recent death of Mont gomery Blair. The Times is mistaken, however, as to Buchanan’s Cabinet. Joseph Holt still lives. Ex-Gov i.KNtm Hukbari), of Connec ticut, started poor but grew rich. His daughter married her father’s coach man and was outlawed from the pa rent d mansion. Eventually she quit her humble husband and returned to her proud father. The father recently entered the den of (lie Wall Street tiger and lord his monev. The coach- man may yet have a terrible revenge liiion bolh father and daughter. A KKiT.KSKXTATiVK of the journey men bakers of New York Cit\, giving evidence before iho Senate Committee Wednesday, let out tbe fact that high society is denied the acquaintance of a whole almanac full of Russian Princes, German noblemen, and Prussian.army officers, because those notabilities, hav ing come to (his country to receive the fortune which they understood awaited all of their exalted station, have been compelled, by remorseless hunger, t<> hire out as cheap waiters in lager beer saloons. Tan CROSBY IXSTITVCE. ? y> The Election of Principal-Alms and Ob jects of the lustltutlon.' > Messrs* Editors: At a receii., meet ing of tho Board of Trustees of the r Crosby Institute, Mr. D. B. Busby was I ejected principal, Miss M. E. Fancettc, first assistant, and Mr. D. R. Coleman, assistant vocal music teacher. Tho session of 1888-84 w*s divided into three terms. The: first opens September 3. During the second, coycring December, January and Feb ruary, it was resolved to give free tuition within the common school cur riculum, regardless of age.and town ship Hues. Furthermore, in cases of real ineldji’fy tot pay the Aill rates, special rates, and even free tuition during the entire ten months, may be obtained by applying to the chairman; and that efforts should be made to secure for earnest, energetic, moi'af young men such farm labor as would enable them to meet a poriiou, if not the whole, of their expenses. The object of the school was stated, amongst other things, to be: To cultivate sclf-confidciich, peVs6nhl appearance, pleasing address, gentle qualities, good judgment and refined maimers, ns not less important than arithmetic and grammar. To reduce the cost of an education here within the means of all. To attempt, by gradual.y introduc ing industrial features, to give a more practical business cast to the educa tional efforts of our younger people. “Our hope of ultimate success,” they say, “is based on the faitlitul exertion’s of our teachers, (lie careful supervi sion of the Board, the intelligent Co operation of the patrons, and the friendly sympathy of tho more intelli gent and progressive throughout the surrounding' country. As our views and plans arc to some extent original, wo would ask the .kind courtcsv ot voluntary sympathy, interest ami co operation from those better disposed, and the common charity of silence from all others, until sufficient time shall have been allowed us to demon strate the integrity of our intentions, and the correctness of our views.” As our hopes of future respect for the South can be based on nothing lei-s likely to fail us than the education of the masses, wo would respectfully commend tho action and spirit of this Board to the attention of the school trustees of other country communities.

ALSO IX STORE : SADDLES, HARNESS, BACON, BRIDLES, MEAL, Judge Nelson, of the United States District Court for Massachusetts, has recently rendered a decision which somewhat complicates the act passed by Congress excluding Chinese- immi grants from this country. Ho has de cided in the ease of one Ah Sing, who was horn on the Island of Hong Kong after its cession to the British govern ment, that the law docs not apply to him as he was a British subject, and hener, tlu ugh by mcc aCltiiminar, not subject to tbe restrictions imposed. On the island of Hong Kong there were in 1872 ll.'i,DUO Chinese, which number is nimually increasing, and while the immigration from (hero is not very large, should this decision he sustain ed, tiie objects of the law may be de feated by shipping immigrants from China through Hong Kong and making it appear that they were bona fide resi dents of that island and British sub jects. But if this opinion should be sustained and advantage taken of it to run Chinese in it will lie no difficult matter to amend the law so as to cover the Hong Kong importations as well as those from the Chinese Empire proper. SCHOOL, TRUSTEES. W’c have entertained the opinion for some time tiiat legislative action should be taken, appropiating funds for the pay of school trustees. It is particu larly important, under tho circum stances, that the very best men in the respective townships should bo selected for the position of trustees, and it is unreasonable to expect or demand the time and services of the best men of tiie country in the discharge of such thankless duties without a quid pro qu,o from tho government. For our pari^ wc believe it a serious mistake to undertake to run the government upon the niggardly principle, that services should be rendered without compensa tion. Talk about patriotism and the public duties of the citizen and all that, but without a reasonable and proper return for all services rendered, we need not expect any one to come up to tbe ideal measure of public or private duty. But in addition to the principle involved, it is a well-attested fact that the present plan of appoint ing school trustees without pay has signally failed. The County Board of Examinacrs, whose duty it is to select and appoint the officials under discussion, and the many observant and vvell-informcd men throughout the county will bear testimony to the fact that under the, existing regime it is almost impossible to procure the services of men fitted by habit h'mI education for Ibe dis charge of the duties of the office. They all, with one voice, say that there is too much work, and the position "is calculated to make enemies rather than friends, to create dissatisfaction rather than contentment and harmony.

How does that verse like this, isn’t it? ‘There are who touch the magic string, ’ And noisy fame is proud to win them; Alas! for those who never sing, But die with all their music in them.’ ’ “Yes, that’s beautiful, pathetic and true,” sftid your representative. “The poet alludes to people'Who are somehow sup pressed, and never get their full allowance of joy and air, which reminds me of a let ter shown me the other day by Hiscox & Co., of New York, signed by Mr. E. C. Williams, of Chapman, Snyder county, Pa., a promiuent business man of that place. He writes: “I have suffered with asthma for over forty years, and had a terrible' attack in December and January; 1382^ I hardly know what prompted me to take Parker’s Tonic. I did so, and the first day I took four doses. The effect astonished me. That night I slept as If nothing was the matter witli me, and have .ever Mrtce. I have had colds since, but no asthhio. My breathing Is now as perfect as if 1 hail never known that disease. If you know of any one who has asthma tell him.in my name that Parker’s Tonic will cure It— even after forty years. There was a man who escaped the fate of those whom the poet laments.” This preparation, which has heretofore been known as Parker’s Ginger Tonic, will hereafter be advertised and sold under the name of Parker’s Tonic. Inasmuch as ginger is really an unimportant ingredi- ent, and unprincipled dealers are con stantly deceiving their customers by sub stituting inferior' preparations under the name of ginger, we urop the misleading word. i There is no change, however, in preparation itself, and all bottles remain-, mg in tbe hands of dealers, wrapped, un-: der the nsfme of Parker’s Ginokr Tonic. contain the’ genuine medicine if the fac simile signature of Hiscox & Co. is at the bottom of the outside wrapper.
