If there would be n strict judicial In

aldermen in this city, the people of this
geed city nnd county would be horrified
at the systematic fraud nud stealing
and corniiitlen that would haimcnrthcil.

p for all that is In It ; nnd separate bills
or costs nre presented te tiicceunty com
missioners and paid, it is a well Known
fact that the emoluments of elllcc
Of some of our prominent alder
men exceed these of our lcst
lawyers. The Inference is n plain one.
iTbe ether day the unusual complaint
was made against some one ou the
charge of being a barrater. AVliut shtill
be said when aldermen aud constables
are guilty of exciting ami euceuraglng
lawsuits nnd quarrels, and make their
living ou it? Any 0110 familiar with the
duties of the county solicitor knows that
it is a frequent occurrence for constables
vte'brlng their bills te him for approval
te which Is npiuded nn aftidavit thnt
they are correct. Sometimes the bill is
cut down one-half, aud the reduction U
accepted after perhaps an unsuccessful
offer of a bribe te upprove it entirely.
The responsibility of the county solicitor
who approves the bills of the aldermen
and constables is great, and he is the
only safeguard the public have ngnlnr-t
this wholesale rebljcry. Ills nerve and
moral courage must be phenomenal te
resist the rapacity of these grasping
officials. Occaslonelly u grand jury has
an opportunity, like the one this week,
te check their hungry greed.
, There will come a time of reckoning In
this whole matter fceme day and se vehe
ment will be the righteous indignation
of an outraged jeeple that thejnll doers
will open te receive the shameless olll elll
cials. The peeple of Cincinnati buincd
their court heue for ene slugle miscar
riage of justice which in its effect was
, net se demoralizing te the purity of our
judicial proceedings as ure the frauds
committed In our city by officers of jus
tice every day. Let them beware and

Self Culture.
J, Self culture Is a duty te be practked
r? by all. While there are many objects,
jjt. various designs and numerous bcheiucs,
pursuits and occupations net exactly
i, falling within the proper element of
mauy, nnd which only some few can
- fellow with success and advantage, self
culture can be effected by all. Te this
fA exercise there is no cxceptieii. Ne mini,
j however capacious lib understanding
J or extraordinary his talents, can ilse te
any sort of distinction or usefulness If
''' he slights self culture. On the ether
t hand, no matter hew humble the talents
' of another, however destitute his con
., ditien, if he is but urged forward aud
f1, atunulated te redoubled exertions and
practices earnest diligence in the culti
f ' ration of these powers and capabilities
be has, he will rise in the estimation of
men and become a source of usefulness
r te himself and thq community around

thus carrying out successfully this Im
portant work of wir culture. It Is
scarcely needful te say that we must
net be supposed te mean that educa
tional advantages nrcte be slighted or
underrated, for such advantages will
always be found greatly subMrvIcut te
self culture; nil we would Insist en is
simply that self culture docs net neces
sarily depend upon such advantages.
The names of many men could be men
tioned showing what can be done with
very limited opportunities, nud net In

eminently one of progress and learning;
this Is IntcuKly, singularly the fact.
There Is nothing of stagnation in It.
As a nation nnd as individuals we are
marching at n rapid speed. "Everything
is undergoing n searching scrutiny.
Whatever Is pas-sing under the observa
tion of men Is sifted nnd, if possible,
fathomed ; and none of its intrinsic pro
perties or capabilities of development
or adaptation arc permitted te escape
notice. In such an age It Is specially
incumbent en all te practice self culture
with strenuous efforts.
A Statue of Key.
Baltimore Is making great prepara
tlens for the celebration of the anniver
sary of the bombardment of Fert Me
llenry, nnd n strong cllbrt Is te be made
te rni-e money for a monument te Fran
cis Scott Key, the author and composer
of the "Star Spangled Banner," written
during the bombardment, while the
nuther was n prisoner of the British.
This gives the Baltimore celebratleu a
111010 than local Interest, for though we
may nil feel n pride in the gallant de
fense of the fort as a historical event,
yet every one is mere familiar with the
grand old reiig. In every line of the
eeng and lu every bar of Its music, there
Is suggestion of the strong excitement
and patriotic fire that must have swept
ever the poet as he watched the fight
from his prison window at night, seeing
only the eutllnn of the overwhelming
force or the British and a heavy
Blueiid of smoke above the little fort,
aud then, when the lung continued
heavy thunder of the guns proved a
stubborn defense nud a momentary
alienee suggested defeat, hew he must
have cheered te himself when the can
nonade began again, and, when the
morning light showed the American Hag
htlll waving, only the sung could tell his
feelings. That heng has mero patriotic
spirit lu It than any Fourth of July
oration ever speiten; ami it will ie a
national song through all our history, lu
fpitc of the fact that It Is pitched in n
way that rtralns the vnice. Ne Ameri
can who remembers Its epiihir!ty In
war time, or who has been long away
J rem his native laud aud has
happened te hear the masterpiece of
Key played by a foreign band can ever
forget Its thrilling effect upon him. Its
musical value Is proven by the fact that
It Is played abroad by musicians, who
knew nothing of the words or of the
American origin of the song. The late
.lames Mck Lcqucathcd sixty thousand
dollars for a monument te Key, te be
erected in San Francisce, and a splendid
arch and utntuc designed by Story were
umeilcd thcie net long age. It is time
that Maryland had n statue of her
famous son, and It may be said in
passing that we need mere utatutes of
e.irgicat men In all our cities. It Is
better te cheese the subjects fiem a cen
tuiy age, for we cannot tell hew modern
heroes mey stuud the tiial of time.
Statues of noted and worthy men have
an educational force we cannot afford te
neglect.

The next day I went belbie the beat d,
wlileh met at a hottse net fai fiem Mr.
X.eke's. When ushered Inte the presence
of this august body, 1 was taken aback at
the sight of bome half dozen men, all el
whom except one were attired in the
Tunker, 01 AniMi, cestume, bio.ul bie.ul
brimined hats, whith they did net icinove
at mj enliance, much te mv indignation ;
thick hair, reaching te their eyebrows hi
front and te their shoulders behind ; and
strange looking llttle capes, ee ering their
sheulilcisaud lastcned at the neck with
hooks and eyes. They all stared at 1110 as
eattle might stare at something new and
stiange all except ene. Hut the peculiar
appearance el the etheis se attracted 1110
that 1 scaicely noticed this latter iiiciubci,
who. although attired in a plain tjuaker
fashion, were ncithei cape, hat nor long
hair. It seeined that the xacancv had net
been advertised, and as I was the eulv
applicant, my examination began at once.
" Vliut as your oxperience as a deacher,
ep--iic ', iall the while. 1
This was the first question. It was ino ine ino
IHJunded by an old gentleman who was
evidently the president orthe beard. Alas!
1 hud no oxjicrience, se, In reply, I told mv
simple bteryas well as 1 could.
Somecomersation hi " Dutch " fellow ed.

"Vhat x as your iiorsiiasien, eO-n-nU-'"
1 hesitated, net sure what the speaker
meant.
"Your church," whispered the xeung
man in the Quaker grali.
Bew it li ippened 1 shall new or be able Ie
tell, but the question seemed te me, under
the circumstances, te be se erv absurd,
that I whs tilled with a spirit of mlschlef.
"Oh," I Mid; "I am an Agnostic."
I knew tlicre must haxe been a twinkle
of fun in my eyes, which I could net re
press as I saw the nuzzled leek in the faces
or the incnilxus of the Saiidersxille beard
of public education. 1 (elt somewhat
startled, hew ex or, when I saw tills twinkle
reflected in the faee of the youngest mem
ber the gentleman in the Quaker L'arb. As
mv lace paled at this ellscexery, his grexv
red with suppressed laughter. I wusleulv
uaii reassuresi w lien no nedilcu te me, as it
seemed, te be ou ; and certainly, te go en
xxas the only thlw: I!could Je nexv for I
xvas in tee deeply te turn back.
" II'cim u cs t" asked ene or the puzzled
members.
" Vint fs dose AK-nee-tlg?" tiam-latisl
the old president, in tlie bc.t English he
could muster.
"An Agnostic," I ausweied, "U eug
who believes in a progress from an indefi
nite, Incoherent homogeneity te a definite,
coherent hctoregenelty."
Again the members stared blankly at
each ether. I stele a glance nt the young
man. He xxas leaning forward, his elbows
upon his knees, his face hidden behind his
hands, and I saw thnt he bad all the ap ap
pearance of a man suddenly stricken xvlth
an ague.
" Ceet you sav dot In nngllsh?"
1 shouldn't like te try, I theught: se I
waived the point as cleverly as 1 could by
saving. " We also bollex-o In the funda
ml'ntal biogenetic lax, that ontogenesis Is
an abridged repetition of phylegenesis."
".She say dey peller In Oenesls," ex
plained the president.

"Maybe she be a Cut'eiicf" persisted
the suspicions member.
"Haxel net told you," 1 said, "that I
am an Agnostle? An Agnostic can no
mero be a Catholic tinman Amishman can,
or a Tunker, or a Bronevlnoarlan."
I xvas trying te say, Winebrennarlan,but
ns I xvas net vel familiar w ith the names of
these sect, the result xvas net brilliant.
Nevertheless, the sceptical member xvas
silenced.
A ItUVULATIu:?.
Nexx-, ler the first time, the young man
In Quaker attire Joined In the discussion!
he speke earnestly, but In the "Butch"
dialect, se that I understood no word cither
ofhlsspeoch or of the solemn conversation
which lolleweit it. But finally it appeared
that the beard had agreed upon the preper
course te pursue The young man then
turned te me and said :
"Miss Norwood, 1 have the pleasure of
