Messrs , IColloy , Stlgcr & Co. have a col lector of ttio above description. Ho Is an exceedingly sanctimonious young man with features of n prayer book cast , and n quiet atmosphere ot Christian devotion completely envelopes him like a mortgage on a Kansas farm. His diminutive form , coupled with his un- obstrnsivo domcanorhnvo frequently elicited comment from his follow employes. not ono of whom believed that the collector would interpose moro thun n pollto remon strance if n gallinlpper was making a mid night meal from him , The latest experience of the collector dem onstrates conclusively , however , that his re ligion is of a moro mOHCiilar kind , nnd that under certain provocations tbu space dividing the pulpit and the prlzo.rlng Is nar rowed to the width of a doctor's doorway , . It came about In this manner. The collec tor had nhtll against the doctorand ho sought the man of pills in his aforesaid ofllco in the Sbeely block , The doctor didn't want to pay the bill , und neither did ho propose to argue the case with the collector. When the latter declined with thanks an in vitation to leave , the doctor arose and put him out of the door. The Christian forbear ance of the collector was not rufllcd by such usngo and ho offered no resistance until the doctor applied to him an epithet that momentarily shook his faith In tlio authenticity of his family genealogy. After considering the matter very brielly the collector concluded thnt this wn.s the proper place to draw the line , and carefully but ilrmly seizing the doctor by the collar of his coat and bosom of his pants , he proceeded to put a laundry polish on the floor with him. The collector did his work very de liberately and thoroughly , and finally depos i- iting the doctor in ono corner ho sat down on him. and , with his hands Ilrmly clasped around tbo throat of his victim , was hypnotizing him ut a rnpld rate when the janitor stepped in nnd caused u cessation of hostilities , The collector stopped to adjust his cuffs , and then Informing the doctor that ho would call ntlO o'clock the next morning , bowed him 1I self out of the door.

TIio young citizen of the republic shouM study iMrofully the reflex imlueiico of our lu stlhitloiis on other nations mill por.jilo. Though the United StiUcs nro separated by broiul ooonns from other countries , tno fuel of dUtnnco over sea tends rather to make our social wul civil forms more conspicuous la tlio eyes of the people nbraitl. Moil become Interested in the thing * seen afar , especially when the vision Include * such u marvel 1x3 li presented in tUo history of the Auiorlc.ni ro- public. First of nil our government itself our form of government lias been n potent agency la influencing the political society of foreign countries. Our ilemocrntlo republic was , from the llrst , contagious. Tlio achievement of Independence ) gave tin example to Kuropo nuil the world of civil liberty. It wns In tha nature of a successful precedent. Hero wiis a proof , a living Instance , of tlio truth of what the French philosophers hail already been saying In the "Encyclopedic Fram-ulso. " Frenchman of n hundred years ago roa onod thus : Freedom In America U not a delusion unit a snare. Tlio American * have demon * straiod the truth of I ho righto of man us de clared by our favorite author. Therefore Franco may do the snnw. Tills , reasoning , half-silentandhalf-uvowod , wns the secret of tlio popularity of Franklin at the French court. Tlio Abbo Kaynal , speaking of ( no Amorieans In 17SI , cries outt "Thuir honored names shall bo tratismlUoa to posterity by a happier pen than inlnu Brass mid marble shall show them the re motest ayes , lu beholding them tlio filonil of freedom shall feel his heart palpltnto fuel his eyes llout In delicious tears I" Minibeau , standing In the trlbuno of the nntiamil as sembly , exclaims ; "I ni-k if the nations have dared to read the American Dci-lara- lion , or to Interrogate their coiisclenoci after the perusal. I ask whether thurt ) l ) at thin day ono government In Europe thu Helvetic and Butuvinn confederations nnd the British Isles e.xeopteilwhich , Judged after the principle * of the declaration of con gress on July 4 , 1770 , is not Jivested of its rights. " U Is impossible to determine with precision how much tin ) success of our republican ex periment contributed as an exciting cause of the grant revolution In Franco ; but It is cer tainly OHO of the potent inltiioneos winch combined to upheave French society , to over throw the Bourbon throne and to give n now political direction to modern Europe. Tha pens of Jefferson ami I'aine , the oratory o ( the Adamses , the sword of Washington and the constructive genius of Hamilton pre vailed not only In America , but to n certain extent lu every civilised country of the old world. Still more strongly has the snmo Inllucnco spread among the other governments of thu American continents. Even the tyro Is his tory is able to note the rapid progress of re publicanism In all the countries of our three Americas. The conservatism of the Spanish race , its strong monarchical proclivities and general subserviency to the priesthood , have not been able to withstand the cxiunplu and impact of American democracy. * True , the Hcpuhllcof Mexico la not. n shining example of political excellence ; but it may well bo cited as -glorious instance of a revolution which was lighted with torches brought from tbo north. In tha South American stales the snnio ef fects are roferahlo to the snmo cause. Our republicans been to nil the-sonootiles , whether Spanish or Portuguese , what Lord Bacon would call a "forthsbowlng Instunco" of emancipation and progress All tbo nn- nrchlstic wars ami seemingly chaotic strug- pies of the South American nations , have tended strongly and constantly to the repro duction of new forms of liberal government , of which our own has been the prototype. Our other American institutions have In like manner diffused themselves as seed sown on distant shores. The Ameri can idea or public education by the state foreran by a long period the sim ilar movement in Great Uritnin. The young clti/on must bo surprised to note the fad that William E. Foster , leader of the recoul educational reforms in England , has In 11.1 instmico gcno beyond the well-estnbllshcj precedents and methods of our American public schools.Vhiln America has conloi/i / her institutions of higher learning from"thu old world , anil perhaps not improved tuom , the nations ubroad have been constrained to accept the American puhlio school system and the principles upon which It is based in the best and truest which the experience of mankind has yet been able to dovlso. The same thing' may bo said respecting the use which ether nations have mailo of Amer ican philanthropic and charitable ibultiitious , such as those for thu ptoteution and educa tion of the blind and thu deaf and dumb , and for the care of the insane. In Europe nearly nil institutions 1'or the benefit of those unfor tunate classes , and even institutions for the poor , have been thoproductclthorof religious devotion or of private philanthropy. In scarcely any civilized country other than our own has tlio public policy be/en systemat'cally adopted of providing for tno welfaru and instruction of tlio unfortunate clussos at the expense and under the direction of the stato. It is in America Unit the most praisowortb y and marvellous things in this direction have born achieved. In no other country have the blind tieon taught as in the asylum1)of thu United States ; ui.it in no others has thu tongue of the dumbfound such utterance , or the wild cry of tlio ins.ino been hushed with such humane nml rational treatment. Every young citizen should road with tearful sympathy the story of I.mini Brldcenian as told by Dickens in his Ameri can NoU's , or as recorded liMho fourth vol. umo of the Smithsonian Contribution' ) to Knowledge. Many of the minor institutions and mages of American society mid citizenship hnvo In like manner caught the sympathy of foreign nations and been nilonted by them as tlio " best existing results of" modern civilization.
