The Pennlty of Greatness. We ile net unite understand wliy n doc tor's daily bulletins should new lw num bered among tlie bintliens of. distinction. Certainly the country was net edified by the Gaificld bulletins and is net gieatly entertained by the Grant dispatches Hut it is easy enough te undei stand why these things aic printed when they can be get. It is simply because the newspapers aim te feed the cuiiesity of their leaders with anything they can get that will answer the purpose, regaidles3 of quality. Hut what seems strange is that these bulletins should be furnished. Of course it is done with the assent of the patient's family. The physicians in attendance would seal their lips unless thus opened. Hut a family which desires minute desciip t ions te be printed of the daily piogiessef the disease of one of their number, must have but a moderate sensibility and a mild regard for the inteiest of their patient. The habit of physicians is te seek te con ceal from their patients the seriousness of their illness, and no doctor lias jet thought of dilating at the bedside upon the bad features of the case, and discussing the pessible remedies of medielneand suigeiy ; yet General Grant is invited te lead each day such talk by his physicians, and is given every oppeitunity te knew the bad featuies of his case, and te enjoy the reasons why his tongue is net cut out, his jaw sawed llueugh and his p.ilate " extir pated." General Grant is a soldier and nuiy en- joy a descriptive butchery of himself which . would be disagreeable te most people. If se, and he can read with jieace the medical bulletins in his case, there is no geed icasen why they should net le printed. If he likes it and his fi lends like it, the lest of us can stand it well enough. Hut does he like it ? Or de we ewe it enlj te the brutality of theso about him V The Specific Charge. Seme of the supcrserviceable defenders of Testmaster Iluidekeper, of Philadel phia, aie trying te make a defense for him against a very different charge from that against him.Tliey represent thatthe Intel ligence", which formulated this chaige has declared that although " Postmaster Iluidekeper did net openly interest himself in the paitisan fight for the election of Mr. Hla'me, he secretly connived against the election of Mr. Cleveland by permitting documents inimical te the Democratic cause te pass through the postellice." Nothing of the kind has been complained of. "What the Philadelphia postmaster is ac cused of is that he permitted the fiee and wholesale circulation through his ellicc which was made the centre of its distribu tion of obscene- literature, such as is ex pressly feibidden by the United States statutes and such as postmasteisare contin ually intercepting, and having the senders and publishers sent te the penitentiary for mailing it. Philadelphia was belected as theplace for the publication of this vile stuff, because Antheny Comstock might hae scented it out in New Yeik or Brooklyn ; and the Philadelphia postellice was used as the chief mailing place, because if sent through the New Yeik office- in one cent envelopes it would have been intercepted. Postmaster lluidekeker either knew te what base and unlawful uses the sei vice of his ollice was being piestituted, or he did net. If he did, he is a knave ; if he didn't, he is a feel. Judge and Jury. It quite often happens that judge! who sue net content with the venlicts of juries, untleitake te reprove them from the bench for their verdicts, AVe believe thnt this practice is a bail one. It is open te the objection that it is both wrong aud cow cew jirdlj. The judge takes ail vantage of his position and of thu tespect and obedience due te him in tlie court room te deliver himself of a denunciation which cannot well be resented. Though if the juiynieii were alert with their tongues, they would be justified in saying fiem their scats te tie jiulge that he transcended his authority in calling them te account for the exercise of tlioirsweindutj te deliver their verdict upon the case submitted te them. Fer this is the fact. The jury is hwein as well as theljudge, His duty ends when he in structs them upon the law in the case. It Is their duty te yield the verdict. It may net be an intelligent ene ; but if it is an honest ene they have done their duty, ac cording te their powers, and it does net He with the judge te upbraid them. If their vetdict was improperly iullueneed, it is his duty te act ; but if he knows of nothing te challenge their honesty, his duty is te be s.lent. A Characteristic Fruud. ICs-I'rcsldent Huyes was yesterday jialil a Mini of less than four thousand dollars which the government lias owed him for eight years. iVuVdd'd. Evening Hulleliti. "What dismal, dreary ret this is? Tlie government owed Hayes nothing, lie sent some commissioners of his own iiersenal M'lectieu down Seuth te give lespectable sanction te the bargain by which he becuiedhisse.it and tlie Southern Demo Deme crats get control of their state govern ments. It was nn expeiidlttue net war ranted by nn law nor by any consideration of public jielicy ; nnd noliedy but a fel low of Hayes' meanness aud narrow gauge would have tuked it te be repaid. Hut the Senate,in its all-embracing charity wltli the public money, insisted en relaying this item of his political expenses; and the Heuse assented, rather than take the chances of an extra session owing te such slight obstructions. Hayes gets Ills money nnd is satisfied ; and as this will probably be Ills last transaction with the government and his last publie appearance, the country gets rid of him cheaply enough. m Learning. (The New Yetk'Tribunc, in a review of a nqw edition of the works of Alexander Hamilton, pronounces that statesman the nvest eminent and influential of his time. it declares tliere is none " whose weiks are moie valuable for study and Instruction nt tlie present time," and that " there Is edu edu c.ttienal value In the elevation of his thoughts ; the sustained nobleness of his discourse. It is the breadth of a great spirit that is manifested thus, and the young may well profit by the example." . Tlie Tribune is net prevented from flay ing this of its political apestle by the fact that the complete edition of Hamilton's works, which it commends se warmly, is te contain " the Reynolds pamphlet, which cannot with any pretence- of completeness be emitted fiem such an edition." It may even be expected that the Tribieic will yet concede something of worth and of public usefulness te Benjamin Pranklin, notwithstanding the revelations of his auto biography. AVe mention it net te quanel with the TWbieic'.fjudgmcnt; but te commend its intellectual enlargement. Next 1 A local jkjsI of the Grand Army of the He public has sent its pretest te the legislature against (lie request of another pest of the same order in tlie state lobe allowed te es tablish a lottery for its benefit. New let tlie Admiral Heynelds pest Ille its pretest against some of the fi amis who draw pensions te which tlieyare net en titled ; and against tlie abuses te which the chaiitj of educating the soldiers' orphans has been subjected.

'Willis WESTi.AKK,ef the Millcrs Millcrs ville Nermal sclioel, has an artlcle in the Dosten Journal of Education en "Hew Shall We Pronounce," In which he points out many romarkable differences between the popular and the standard pronunciation of words. Among these discussed is ene that is familiar here, "crematory." Mr. W. prefer and practices " crcm-a-tery." His conclusion of the w liole matter is : " Fellow the dictionary w hen it is right ; dare te ditto from it vv lien it is w reng." Aye 1 there's the rub. Who is te determine the right and wrong of it? Aitlb an cxporlcnce of evor threo years the "Thirteen Club," New Yerk, makes an exhibit that vindicates the success of its reso lute cfl'eits te defy the old superstition that when thirteen Bit at tabic the first ene rising will dle within n year. The -llrst dinner of this organization w as held en the 13th of Jan uary, 1682, in room 13,at thirteen minutes past 8. Thirteen men sat down te dinner. That was the vvhole of the club at that time. These nre nil nlive nnd well te-day. Hince th6n the parent organization lias grunted charters te thirteen branch clubs, and seveial moie m e prospering, there being hi nil thir teen times thirteen moiiibers of the order. Among this number thcie wero ten deaths last year, but net ene occurred within n year idler becoming n inembcr. llav Ing' refuted the " 13" superstition, the club new proposes te attack the popular notion, about Friday be lug an unlucky day; and after they have disposed el it they will doubtless attend te the poeplo who think cremation is un christian and Inhuman ; and te tlie idiots who proneunco family card playing "the rudiments of the education without which no ene could ever become a gambler." The foel-klllor lias plenty of work ; but the Thir teen club Is doing its share Ur lighten his labors. The Illinois legislature is doing its little host te make the general assembly of Penn sylvania appear respectable j nud New Yerk and New Jersey nre net far behind. Thk question of making Geed Friday a legal holiday is having its annual turn in the New Yerk legislature. Curiously enough, much of the presssure for it coines from business exchanges, which represent that Inasmuch its the day is religiously ebserved by a majority of Iho members or theso in--HtltutieiiH, their nbsuuee is a mere serious In terference with business than would be thu csse If business wero tetnlly suspended.

Lit tle things show w liat remains lehliiu. In ene department systematic drunkenness of cer tain empleyes hits been discovered, which opened the deer te abuses and perhaps w rengs. In another tliere is the testimony of republican empleyes that a reduction of ferce equal te nearly twenty per cent is iks iks sible witliadvanbige te the work done. In another the socretary was told that by pres sure a month's work had been accomplished iu a few days, as though this did net preve conclusively that there had lieen idling and inelllclency before.
