The first monument of importance, and
one of the most inteiesting in the entire
cemetery, situated to the right of the
main entrance, is that of Ableard and
Heloi3e, whose romantic history is so
well known. It consists of a rectangular
chapel in the Gothic style of the thir
teenth century, : built from the ruins of
the celebrated abbey of Paraclete, of
which Ableard was the founder and He
loise the first abbess. The chapel. con-
tains the sarcophages which Ableard him
self caused to, be constructed before ills
death. " He is represented in a recumbent

tomb was decorated witbfresh flowerst

right is the tomb of Lauxiston, who, in

to take the place of the divorced empress

Are nrttere Ms Honest men?
New York Observer.
One of the daily papers, discussing the
subject of defalcations, lays down these
two propositions ; 1
f "There is no man who will, ultimately
resist the temptation to use funds which
are absolutely in his control for a long
time; and in using them he does so with
the'most honorable intentions, trusting to
secrecy until he shall have paid back ev
ery cent."
Both ol! these statements are objection
able, because they are notfounded iri
truth. It would be in the highest degree
discreditable to the human race, if the
first proposition 'were truej and exceed
ing dangerous to admit the justice of the
second. JLet us look at them separately:
1. "There ia iio man who will ultimate
ly resist tfie" temptation to use funds
which are absolutely in his control for a
longtime." Is that so? Then there are
no honest men living; then we may not
put confidence in anybody ; then charac
acter is no basis for trust, and a defalca
tion or robbery is but a question of time.
Give any man time and opportunity and
he will prove himself to be a villain. Now
we do not take so sad a view of society as
this. We hear in mind that in propor
tion to the vast number of trusted men,
the breaches of trust are very few.- In
such a community as New York," Boston
or Philadelphia, the number of men hav
ing absolute control of large trusts, as
executors, agents, guardians, trustees of
estates and .minors, is to be counted by
tens Snd hundreds of ' thousands. Scarce
ly a man of position and character but is
in some way made the trustee of money
which he is to handle and guard for oth
ers.: Some of these men are treasurers of
great institutions, with large sums lying
in their hands, subject to their individual
direction, and at any moment they could
"hypothecate securities, raise money, and
on it depart out of the city, or speculate
in stocks. This is the temptation which
overcomes weak and wicked men. But
to say that "no man will resist this temp
tation" is to Ignore the fact that the im
mense majority of men do resist; that
the defaulters are only as one in a thou
sand, miserable exceptions to the general
rule, which js honesty, not robbery. The
facts are bad enough, without making
them worse by. exaggeration. We would
not increase general distrust by impeach
ing the many "who are entitled to the
more confidence because others forfeit
character and drown themselves in the
perdition of dishonest 'men. Good men
would shrink from' holding trusts, if it
were held as a fact that all men will be
tray their trusts with plenty of time and
opportunity.. " k,., r H "f y f ---
2. 'BBfr-the second 'statement "is ' even
more dangerous than the first. The one
excites distrust, the second stimulates to
crime. The writer says : - "In using them
(trust funds) he' does so with the most
honorable intentions,-trusting to secrecy
until he shall have paid back every cent."
The point we make is that the word hon
orable in such a connection is unfortunate
and injurious to good morals. The inten
tion is itt the highest degree dishonorable.
which .encourages trusteed to peril. . the
money of another for his own advantage.
The intention to restore is the salve to his
conscience, or rather the mask that he
Shears while he. robs shis innocent, unsus
pecting and helpless victims."1 Honorable
intentions, indeed! A man being entrust
ed with the money of another says to him'
self: "I will take this money and go up
on the street with it and operate till I
have doubled it; then I will put it hack
where it now is and the trust will be as
good as before. . I will be so much richer
and nobody will know how it was done
Is that honest? The trust was safe as it
stood. Or it was where the law and his
judgment directed him to place it. But
he resolved to put it in peril for the sake
Pstblic Opinion and Reform.
Harpers Weekly.
A reform in the system of the civil ser
vice implies a reform of public opinion.
Unhappily the abuses are now generally
regarded as the essential elements of the
service, and there is a mos ingenious so
phistication upon the subject in many
very intelligent .and hottest minds, v, The
traditions and the practices of political
parties' are hostiW to -the correction of
abuses that help them, and , there is no
great political change which demands W
its friends more patience and toleVan'ce of
inconsistencies and misunderstandings
than a real reform. Vet, as we said a
week or twoago,it.does not follow that "no
progress .whatever is made because there
are so many failures and disappointments;
neither can it be assumed' that theVf is no
sincere desireof reform in an Admistra
tion wh ich does 'some Ah big's absol u tely
incompatible with it. Few men are con
sistently good, but virtue ft not therefore
mere cant. An Administration is a com
plex person, and all the circumstances
must be 'carefully scanned and weighed
before its conduct is condemned as heart
less or treacherous. The enemies of reform
and the loudest advocates of the present
abuses and evils as a system practically
adapted to human nature are the most
stringent in their condemnation of the
lapses of the friends of reform. Theyde
mand an absolutely uncompromising vir
tue, and when a bad appointment is made,
or the principle is in any instance plain
ly abandoned, they ask .whether it is not
about time to renounce 4lsj the transpar
ent cant of reform, and whether, since
the ridiculous monster is now thoroughly
dead,' it should 'not be summarily buried.
This, like. calling an opponent an old
woman, is not very powerful reasoning,
nut it satisfies those who do not care to
argue. The question of reform is not to
be concluded by the action of an Admin
istration, nor can the action of an Admin
istration which has any convictions what
ever upon tbe subject be disposed of by a
sneer. The present Administration, with
all short-comings granted, and with all the
evident desertions of its .own principles,
has nevertheless done good direct service
by striking at some flagrant abuses, an A
great indirect service by arousing public
opinion to the. consideration of the whole
subject. It seems to us, . therefore, that
those who are in earnest, but who are pa
tatient of human nature, and conscious of
the extreme difficulties that must . now
surround any Administration in dealing
with this subject, will rather encourage
amount of water to this residuum, we can
at will produce sea-water again of any
required temperature and in any place..
Such is the simple .'reason for life' , which
Pitman's Sea-Salt gives to the public.
Since its introduction it hafe' found favor
In all quarters and steadily gained' repu
tation and connuence. The greatest care
is taken to produce the very best article.
Its price places it fairly within the
reach of all, and it can be bought; in such
small quantities that the cost of a trial is
insignificant. - i -: "' " " r ' ' ; -
In reference to the remedial effects of
this Salt . the .Jganitaiian of. September,
1876, under the heading of. "A Sea-Bath
at Home;" said; ""We again avail our
selves of the occasion to state, for the ben
efit of children too feeble to be taken to
the seashore-7-and for many' adults in
like condition Ditman's Sea-Salt' eduied
iu as an admirable adjunct for the promo
tion of health. We have carefully in
quired . into this preparation, and are
gratified to find it entirely commendable,
lrom its simplicity. It is nothing put pure
Sea-salt, put up in portable packages, at
a trifling expense, to meet the demands
of those who, from a variety : of -reasons,
cannot avail themselves of the" seashore,
and we are glad to learn that1 the enter
prise is meeting with the encouragement
which it deserves." - -
. In another issue it said :' "To promote
the appetite, give tone' to the muscles,and
increase the capability of enduring fa
tigue few tonics equal the salt-bath,whlle
for enfeebled, anaemic young women-and
children and persons with cachetic taints
it is one of the most valuable ..remedies
known."- Ditman's Sea-salt supplies the
very want of the age, presenting to eve
ryone the pleasure of sea-bathing with
out the . necessity: of a residence on the
coast. Should be used in every nursery.
Its wonderful strengthening powers are
here exhibited to the best advantage and
in the most striking manner. It relieves
tender feet. They" should be bathed night
and morning with a solution of it in cold
water. A saturated solution of Ditman's
Sea-salt is a splendid embrocation-in

A church in Chicago was scandalized
recently by the efforts of a sewing ma
chine man to make the congregation5 ah
advertising medium. Just before church
time he had a number, of fans placed in
the pews.'; These fans were of the shut-
up kind, and it was not until the people
began to fan themselves that the dlscov-
ry was' made that each fan was embellish
ed with -a conspicuous advertisement of
the sewing machine man's business.
scheme which he formed for his own ad
vantage at the hazard of the trust. The
resolution was dishonest. The intention
was no palliation, hut was a cloak for the
crime, and, therefore, was in no sense
honorable. The moment that he decided
to violate his obligation as a trustee the
man was lost. Having no better right to
take that' money for his own use than he
would have had if it were in the keeping
of another, he was a thief at heart as soon
as he determined on its appropriation."
We are the more explicit on this point
because it is just here that men deceive
themselves, and are deceived, by such
reasoning as we have cited. They vainly
imagine that restoration atones for the
appropriation of what was not their own ;
as if it were a sufficient excuse for high
way robbery that the robber intended to
restore, and actually did restore, at some
future time, the purse he took. The trus
tee who misappropriates the funds in his
hands is as much worse than a thief, as a
thief is meaner than a robber ; the mean
ness being greater as the risk of detection
is diminished.
These are times when this subject ought
to be fully understood. It is well to set
before the best ol men ' the dangers of
temptation when facilities are so great,
and the standard of morality is so fear
fully low. So many have been the breach
es of trust on the part of treasurers and
directors and presidents, as well as of
private trustees, that men have come to
look upon these offences with a leniency
that Is excedlngly unfavorable to public
virtue. It is now very hard to make a
"breach of trust" a crime punishable
witli imprisonment. The "honorable in
tendon" to restore palliates the sin and
wipes out the shame in the eyes of a mo
ney-getting generation. But it is not so
in the sight of Him who seeth in secret
It ought not to be so in the eye of the law,
or of any good man.
than disparage it for what it has noMone,
or foj what it has done inconsistently.
Thls-is true, althoilsh It' mavr' be f reel
granted that such conduct is"notreform.
It certainly is not.-," The Administration
has certainly hot accomplished athorough
reform of the civil service.,' ,. But . with
equal certainty it has done much that be
longs to 8uch'reform.,There is no radical
reform, undoubtedly, so. long as what is
done depends upon thr action of a single
Administration, or the discretion of indi
vidual officers. But any such officer who
eendncte-tfee business confidod to him, in
cluding the selection of JiiS subordinates
solely upon business principles, and there
fore totally disregarding politics, does
very much to promote reform, although
be andjhis methods quay be dismissed 'the
next day. He "promotes reform 'by prov
ing that a public office so managed se
cures the most ethcient public servioe
without the demoralization, jealousy,
hostility, and interference with the free
political action of the voters which neces
sarily spring from the system which we
are accustomed. The new Collector and
Naval Officer of New York have said un
equivocally that thejr intend to conduct
their offices Upon business principles only.
There is no good reason . to doubt their
word, however hard they may find the
task of making it good. , The more stren
uously they resist the pressure to make it
a political machine, the more efficiently
and satisfactorily will they serve the pub
lie, and the' more, practicable will they
have made a reasonable reform of the
svstem.

For many years the beneficial effects of
sea-bathing have been recognized. It" re
mained for modern chemistry, however,
to analyze the brine of "old ocean," and
declare it to be of necessity both tonic
and remedial, a conservator of health,
and a corrective for disease. Consequent
ly, the practice which oncewas resorted
to rather, from force of instinct is now
observed as a prerequisite of health and
as a means of bracing the frame and in
suring immunity from disease.
The .waters of the, ocean are - found to
be of an almost uniform saltness, the
proportion of salt being 27 per centum,
which gives about a pound of salt to ev
ery four gallons of water. It should be
borne in mind that besides salt chloride
of sodium) sea-water contains other and
very important ingredients, which are al
most if not entirely missing in the brines
produced by salt-wells and springs situ
ated inland, fromwhich our supply of
the various kinds of salt table salt and
rock salt is mainly drawn. Among tiase
other component parts of marine salt may
be mentioned the sulphate and chloride
of magnesia, the sulphates of lime and
soda, and traces ot the chloride of potas
sium and iodine. There is not one of
these elements but which is an Important
requisite in producing the exhilarating
reaction enjoyed after a sea-bath.
For children in delicate health and for
elderly persons, suffering from obstruc
tion of any of the functions, the sea-water
bath is an invaluable tonic and correct
ive; while for those in robust health
nothing can be more confirmatory and
luxurious.
Unfortunately (or otherwise) the sandy
beach, with its splendid opportunities for
the most delightful of all recreations
does not lie at every man's door; besides
winter, with its storms and low tempera
ture, forbids us the pleasure during many
long, cold months. The ocean raalns
the healthful and curative effects" of sea
bathing are just as essential in drear De
cember as in fervid Angust; bnt the im
possibility of "realizing theiii amid the
same surroundings is painfully apparent.
It does 'no. follow, however, because of
Natuee's interdict on open-air bathing
during the cold (iionths or on aocountof
distance from the 868-00881,' that we need
be deprived of sea-water bathing. The
Ingenuity of man has overcome far great
er difficulties than furnishing sea-baths
at our home.
Sea-water by evaporation loses its great
bulk. There aj-e left its living virtues-

the London Times, and which therefore
may be supposed to represent the' general

emperance party in the Hpuse.prpposed a
bill which authorized the restraint of the
habitual drunkard against his will, ,:The
compulsion was stricken out, and passed
the Commons without an opposing, vote.
It provides for the erection a,t private cost
of retreats for the . victims of the habifc,
and authorizes the forcible detention in
them of any inebriate who" voluntarily

It Is a law which enables a man, at a time
when he coolly -estimates his peril and
the power of the- appetite, to secure, a
year of totaMnabiUtyratifv jt.The
principle is not unknown in our own in
ebriate asylum's,' an'd"'it offers the only
practical chance of escape , to hosts who
are by habit or congenitally enslaved by
the appetite. It may ' well be doubted
whether, if a year's abstinence will not
break the bond, it can be broken at all
except, by an indefinite continuance of
the restraint.
The Times speaks of a cynicism which
is indifferent to all such enterprises be
cause it feels that a man who has once
fallen under the power of the habit be
trays an- essential infirmity of will which
makes radical reform improbable, and
which of itself -should be a reason for
withholding effort, since such men must
always fee an inferior class. This is'dir'e-
ful reasoning, for it would equally apply
to the sick and the Infirm. It's a return to
the old Spartan :barbasni of abandoning
nfants to the elements. It takes care not
only that the fittest shall survive,tut that
the unfit shall not. Nor is 1t true. The
appetite is not peculiar te an Inferior
class of men, nor to men of weak wills.
Undoubtedly, like all excesses, tt gradu
ally weakens the will, biutdt is a tempta
tion that besets some of the; best and
ablest men. One of its fatalities, indeed,
is its insidlouBiiess, so that the very men
whom the law is meant to help -would
cajole and sophisticate themselves to re
fuse its benefits- ' '
There is one aspect of the subject of
legislation to restrafiLdrn nkeniless which
is significant. It is peculiar to tne JNortn

the instiiict of personal liberty is strong

sonal matter. Nobody need intoxicate
himself if he does, not choose to. If he
does so, it is at his own risk. If it is his
choice to ruin himself, we are very sorry.
but it is his own affair. Some men do it
by drink, others by extravagance, others
by stupidity. Society cannot undertake

to prevent men's extravagance iu expense

upon his own ground. He is shown that
