TWIN RELICS IN BARBARISM
The headlines of the paper* lately
announced "Another West Point Out
rage." A reading of what followed
showed that the "outrage" was con
nected with West Point only by the
fact that the persons concerned in it
were two students in the Highland
Falls Academy—a private "military
school" near West Point— who bad
been appointed but not admitted to the
West point Academy.
The case, briefly, is this. A young
man from Texas, named Buck, was
spending a few weeks at the Highland
Falls school, while waiting to be ex
amined from ad mission to West Point
In student slang be was a "prep," or
preparatory student. The "preps'
naturally imitate their neighbors, the
West Point cadets, and young Buck
was subjected to the usual annoyances
incident to a pretty thorough course
of hazing. He did not take to the
thing kindly, and showed fight once or
twice. He was indiscreet enough to tell
a friend that he had "cleaned out the
-whole echool"' on one of these occa
sions, which provoked the h r zers to
show him that he hadn't cleared theno
©at. Finally, in an altercation abo it
the matter with a student named
Thompson, Buck drew a pistol and
shot Thompson in the groin, inflicting
a dangerous wound. It is not yet
known just how much provocation
Buck had at the time of the shooting,
nor how dangerous Thompson's wound
is, but in any case it is a t ost serious
affair for both the young men
The case is an instructive commen
tary on the folly of these twin relics of
barbarism, hazing and the carrying of
deadly weapons. In this nineteenth
century and in any civilized cominun
ity, both are equally serseless and
dangerous to the community. About
a year ago pistols were freely used in
a hazing scrimmage at Princeton, and
a fatal result was escaped* only by
wonderful good fortune. Serious men
tal and physical injuries are not ex
ceptional in school where hazing is
customary. It is not surprising that
now and then a student of quick tem
per and a high sense of persoial dig
nity resorts to fire-arms to protect
himself against hazing. Public sym
pathy will go with a young man who
does this, to a certain extent, even
though a stern sense of justice brands
such an act as a crime. The Faculty
and Trustees of every institution of
learning owe it to themselves, to their
students and to the public welfare, to
pot down hazing with a heavy hand.
On the other hand, too much can
bardly be said against the folly of car
rying deadly weapons, especially by
people of quarrelsome and irascible
tempers. It is simply tempting them
selves to commit murder. It is bad
enough for grown men to carry revol
vers, though grown men are supposed
to have learned to control their tem-
Crs. But for children barely out of
tding strings to carry pistols and re
volvers in their pockets as freely as
marbles and tops, is much worse. If
young Buck had depended upon the
weapons furnished him by nature for
self-defence, bis persecutor would not
now be lying at death's door, nor
would he himself be under the shadow
of the prison.
CAMERON'S RHUBARB PIE.
It is a distinguishing chrracteristic
of great leaders that they betray no
worry or nervousness in moments of
supreme anxiety or danger. They are
never "rattled," though the peril be
great and imminent. Smaller men
may turn pale, lose their presence of
mine, and *with it their grip on the
course of affairs, but the truly great
leader rises with the situation, and
by some conspicuous display of cool
ness and unconcern inspires confidence
in his frightened followers.
Don Cameron is unquestionably the
greatest, because the coolest of the
three leaders of the Grant cohorts at
Ohicago. The other two lost their
heads Friday, and came near demor
alizing their forces by injudicious
movements or loss of temper. Conk
ling blnndered badly in hi attack on
the West Virginia delegation and
floundered dreadfully in attempting to
extricate himself from the predicament
into which he had plunged. Logan
lost temper when he erroneously im
agined himself assailed, and ramped
and raved like an enraged fish woman.
These two blunders and displays of
petulance dismayed the Orant forces,
and in the succeeding encounters with
their flushed and eager foes they were
in evident danger of "going all to
pieces."
At that supreme moment of peril the
genius of Don Cameron asserted itself.
Calmly emerging from the secluded
corner where he had been watching the
course of events, he reached a conspic
uous position, and signalling a page
gave him a whispered order. Then he
waited, erect, calm, and confident.
The storm of battle hushed foi a few
moments, whilst the combatants gazed .
expectantly toward the Pennsylva
nian chief, whose eyes were following
with quiet interest the movements of
his little messenger. Other eyes
turned in the same direction, and the
return of the page with a package was
watched with keen attention. The
chieftain stooped, received the pack
age, unwrapped it, once more stood
proudly erect and in the face of that
vast and highly excited multitude,
calmly devoured a huge segment of
rhubarb pie.
That incident restored discipline and
confidence to the demoralized and dis- <
heartened Grant forces. Conkling
might stumble and Logan strike out
wildly, bntif Cameron could munch
rhubarb pie with good appetite, all
was not yet lost. The Grant cause
was saved from immediate ruin and
given another respite by a piece of
rhubarb pie.— Cleveland Hearld, 7 inst.

LEGISLATING ON COLOR BLINDNESS.
—The Legislature of the State of Con
necticut has an art authorizing
the State Board of Health to prepare
rules and regulations for the examina
tion and re-examination of railroad em
ployees in respect to color blindness
and visual power, and prescribes the
method in which and the intervals at
which such examinations shall be made.
The act further makes provision for in
flicting penalties on any railroad com
pany employing persons who are not
in possession of a certificate from the
examining board of their freedom from
color blinduess. The examiners may
revoke the certificate at any time. The
State Board is, in the month of May,
to recommend two or more medical ex
perts to make the necessary examina
tions, and the Governor is to appoint
two of these gentlemen on tie follow
ing first of July. It is to be hoped
that other States will adopt similar
measures for protecting the traveling
public against the dangers incident to
the visual defect of railroad employees.
A BIRD EXECUTION. —About 100
persons witnessed a curious spectacle
at Lansingburg, N. Y., recently. It
was nothing more or less than a bird
An English sparrow had
by some means incurred the displeas
ure of a pair of red-breasted robins nest
ed in a tree near Rawson Hall. A fight
took place between the sparrow and
the robins on the rear of the roof of the
Rawson Hall building. The sparrow
fought pluckily until all at once one of
tbe robins flew off, while the other
kept up the fighting. The robin mes
senger soon returned with a piece of
cord that was soon wound around the
sparrow's neck and the end held iu the
bill of one of the executioners. This
done, the sparrow was forced off the
edge of the roof and briskly attacked
by the other robin. Thus situated the
sparrow was comparatively helpless,
and id a short time hung suspended by
the neck, dead. After holding their
victim and picking him until assured
he was beyoad resurrection, the victo
rious robins fiew to their nest in the
tree, singing merrily, as though glory
over their anqu shed foe
TYRANNICAL BIRDS. —One day last
week some parties living in the Third
Ward noticed a number of small birds
of almost every variety common to
this part of the country, in an or
chard in a great state of excitement,
and evidently intent on inflicting se
vere punishment on something that
had excited their wrath. After watch
ing them for some time, the spectators,
curious to learn the cause of tbe sin
gular commotion, approached the
flock of birds. The latter took flight ex
cept one, which allowed the persons to
approach and pick it up. It proved to
bean English sparrow; and its tor
mentors had destroyed both its eyes
and pulled out its tomjue. It i 3 well
known that these little pests, imported
from Great Britain a few years since,
are of an exceedingly quarrelsome and
bullying disposition, and drive away
our native song birds ,';om towns
where the sparrows become numerous.
Doubtless the unfortunate little fellow
who was so cruelly treated in the
manner we have described, strayed
away too far from his companions, and
the robins, chippies, blue-birds, etc.,
seeing their opportunity, resolved to
take revenge on him for indignities
they had k.-en subjected to by mem
bers of his family.— New Castle Guar

BUTLER,
We wish to inform the public that we have remodeled oar Mill with the
latest improved
Gradual Reduction System Machinery,
which is well known by Millers to be the best in existence. We can "say to
Farmers and Producers of wheat that it will be profitable to them
to give us a trial. We claim that we can make a
BETTER ARTICLE OF FLOUR, AND MORE OF IT,
out of the same number of bushels of wheat than any other Mill in the
county, and equal to any first-class Mill in the city, or Western Mills.
The new Under-running Mill, used for Regrinding, bought of Munson & Bro.,
Utica, N. Y.; the George T. Smith Middlings Purifier, bought
at Jackson, Mich., together with Uolting Cloths,
Reals, Conveyers, Sic., suitable for
the Machinery, cannot be
Excelled in the United States
or elsewhere. This may seem an exaggeration to some, but we wish the pub
lic to know that we are able to perform all that we publish, as we have given
our machinery a thorough test in the presence of several good Millers and
Millwrights, and it has proven even better than it was guaranteed to do.
We are also remodeling our Mill for
Grinding Other Kinds of Grain,
which will be entirely satisfactory to our customers. Farmers wishing to

time it is as easily cured as a wart or a corn.
We know very well that it is a fearful disease
and will eat away until it destroys life, that
is if it is neglected, but if it is attended to
when it first makes its appearance, or soon
after, there is no trouble in eradicating it
from the system. Persons will have to be here
