CLERKS LAW. ‘To Tam Evrror oF THE HERALD:— A bill 1s at preseat under consideration before the Committee on Health in the Assembly, having for Gouble aim the repeal of last year’s law creating a board for the examination of druggists and their ‘clerks, and the substitution therefor of a scheme at ‘once disastrous to the interests of our city end eminently hurtful to the progress of an important branch of the healing art. Nine months ago the ‘present Board, with a chemist of renown at its ‘head, entered upon its career and labored strenously ‘sO weed out from the ranks of tne drug profession ‘the ignorant und incompetent. The fatr, effective ‘and impartial administration of the law by the gen- Uemen appointed to carry out its provisions won- the unanimous approval of the press and the people @nd inspired the confidence that at last we were to ‘be protected against the fatal errors of shop lad3 Who, after drawing you a glass of soda water, often impregnated with the salts of lead and copper, ‘Would rush to make strychatine pills or sell you an Ounce of oxalic acid for epsom salts. But no con- sclentious work was ever yet accomplished without Opposition, and the cloud no bigger thana man’s fist which first darkened the horizon of the Board gathered volume and grew darker as, day after day, the unwelcome tidings were borne to proprietor or elerk that the Commissioners would be pleased to have another interview with him, ag the first haa NOt proved satisfactory. Thvir opposition at last founa vent in the following fraudulent though cun- pingly contrived device:—A jackdaw, tricked out in the gorgeous plumage of a peacock, pecked at the legizlative doors, saying, ‘“Gentiemen, I am the College of Pharmacy, to which institution alone the administration of the law regulating pharmacy should be entrusted.” Now it is acknowledged that tne College of Pharmacy is a useful and venerable insutution; bus, consisting as it does of the pro- feagore and the students in actual attendance, tt is entirely different from the college of pharmacy in the projected law. There exists In New York an association of druggists who have sought, under the- name of ‘members of the College of Pharmacy,” @ verns of respectability which they could not other- ‘Wise attain; but when it 1s considered that the terms of admission are four years’ experience in the business, the annual payment of $6 and the Nappy possession of a good moral record, it will be readily seen that the educational standard of the S@ssociation is not necessarily very nigh, The pro- fessors of the college are not members of this society, and but @ small proportion are graduates in pharmacy. Surely the name “Col- lege of Pharmacy” 1s a gross misnomer in such connection. The effect, therefore, of tie Proposed scheme would be to entrust the execution Of the law to a society which will be commensurate ‘with the whole body of druggisis in the city of New York, just 80 soon as the inducement to have a voice imho election of their own examiners will have drawn them all to its standard, and we shail nave a + Corps of examiners necessarily servile and depend- nt as their duty shail be \o examine those to Whose ages Lhe are entiled to their pestiioa.

It is no fault of the professors of the College of Pharmacy, men in every instance of distingaished Bbilities, that its graduates within the last iorty years du not exceed # paltry two. hundred. Tne enUrivusaess Which in the past has contributed to go despicable a resuit bore appropriate fruit in this latest refusal of many druggists to permit their em- loy és vo aviend lectures, with tne view of prepar- a ves for eXamination. The success of scheme would be to put a premium on law de- flance, for the engineers of the bill are, im most in- men Who are flagrant violators of the law, 0 that those who have bourne the brunt of battie e paid their fees and have subinitied to an ex: amination which they knew to ve rigorous and Searching, will now reap the reward uf their regard for law and ge pecing lawlessness exalted and law- breakers made the depositaries of a most sacred trust.

Indeed, if the pressing duties of the District Attor- ney allowed some of the mutinous advocates of the new bill would have other o-cupation than taking a ‘dand at ie zisiative bungling.

She called the child Gay and some- times Gabrielle, which is Gay’s true name, Bat she did not tell her surname, nor anything concerning herself. Late that summer she died. Noone ever came to inguire after her or the child.” “Her mother was @ crazy tramp, and nothing more. No wouder George was behinahand, when his wife adopted the child of @ tramp and brought her up a jaay,’’ sald his uncle, Mark colored. “1 cannot near @ word against my mother, sir,” he said, ‘+i shall protect Guy while I live, and she shail not be sepurated from use.” «Then 1 wash my hands of you,” exclaimed Mr. Heber angrily. “You can go your own way and get your own living."’ “very well, sit,’”? said Mark quietly; “that is set- tled then.’ in one week Mark had sold a pair of colts which he had raised himself for $500, the household furnt- ture for nearly as mach more, and was on his way, with little Gay, to the tar West to seek their fortune, The youns, travellers arrived at Leavenworth after a long and fatiguing journey. Here Mark, while looking for a wagon and a yoke of oxen with which to cross the prairies, fell 10 with an old farmer named Whitman, who had been living in Western Kansas, but did not like it, and ‘was now on his way to Nebraska. Mark concluded tojoin him, and Mr. Whiumau assisted him in pur. chasing a suitable outfit, and that same night Mark and Gay were snugly ensconced in ther huge travelling wagon, Outside of the city, on the edge of the prairie, where Mr. Whitman, with bis wile and seven Oalldren had encamped. ‘six other famulles were with them—the seven wagons bein, “parkea’’ in the form of a circle—that is, the pole 0! one wagon resting upon tbe rear of another—and the oxen, mules, horses, cows, dogs and pigs being gathered into the circle thus protected, Outside the circie of wagons a great fire was burning, and as Mark’s wago. drove up the con- auctor Of the train, Mr. Landford, came lorward and , Welcomed the new-comers, it seemed to Gay and Mark that they had entered -a new and wondrous word. Both lay long awake that night in their wagon, close up under the canvas rooj, and they talked in whispers of their great tuture, and wondered what It had in store for them. The next morning at daybreak the camp was ‘astir. By sunrise the wagon train was op its way towards the northwest, 5 At night they halted beside asmall stream and parked the wagons, and had supper, and talked and pane sotus and told stories, like one great, joyous ‘amily, At daybreak again they were on the way. Tn the course of ten days, having travelled rap- {diy forox teams, they reached the Little Blue River, a branch of the Big Klue, The women built fires and began the preparation of supper. ‘The men proceeded to park the wagons. “The last train I took over this route was attacked by Indians just nere,’’ said Conductor Landford. “~hey were unusually bold and we had a tough fignt—.

Hever and his young comrades fired a vol- ley. The next Moment a shower of bullets came hurt- ling towara the defenders of the camp, “rhe guni” cried Landford. “Give it to ’em, Waitman.” @Whitman did ‘give it to them,’ mowing down three mounted savages, horses and riders rolling over and over in horribie death agony. The remaining savages again came to a halt, but only for aa instant, 1th @ lerritic warwhoop they came on again Ww the onslaught, firing as they came, and jooking like incarnate demons, “Ail together!” cried the guide.

The camp took onits usual appearance even before the retreating savages were entirely lust to view inthe far distance. That night they encamped upon the prairie, an met with no adventure. A guard was maintained as on the previous night, but no Indi- ans were to be seen, Every day for the week that followed the en- campment on the Little Bluo was full of incident, but all of the pieasant sort, nothing occurring to alarm the emigrants. And at the end of the week, to their great Joy and relief, they arrived! at Fort Kearney. ‘The emigrants did not halt at che iort, but pressed on to Kearney City, where they encamped just at nttall. mflere Conductor Landford found another train, the guide of waica bad been stabbed the night before by @ notorious man, Who had escaped arrest.

Upon the morning after the counterfelt Lieutenant Fallon bad joined tne wagon train the camp was astir as usual at daybreak. The train halted at noon on the river bank, opposite a lovely island, At sunset they again halted, and for tne mgnt. In the course of the evening Lieutenant Fallon approached Way, and satd: - “Miss Heber, 1 must say to you that you are start- ingly like a former iriend of mine, It seems almost as it she stood before me as I first knew her.

The disguised Biue Jack turned yet whiter. He had marked that hesitation, and his wonder at it thrilled him with a sudden fear. “You do not look like your brother, Miss Heber?’ he remarked. “I have been told so before,” said Gay dryly. “And you are bis own sister?” persisied Bluo Jack, with agitation. “1 do not Know your motive for making such in- quiries, Licutenant,” said Gay, after a moment's thougar. ‘do not therefore know how to reply to ould like to know the namv of your iriend ‘ou. 1 ¥hom Iresemble, but for an anawer to your i+ quiries I must reier you to my-brother,”” ay Heber seized the first opportunity to inform her adopted brother of the particulars of her singu- lar interview wita the false Lientenant Fallon. “Told bim to speak to you, Mark,’’ she -satd, ut my heart has been on fire ever amce.

As some young people came toward the Hebers, Mark arose abruptly and went to look alter nis oxen, Gay was about to join Mark when the false Lieu- tenaut Fallon approacted him, offerlag him a cigar. “Fine evening, Mr. Heber,’ said the disguised Blue Jack, courteously. ‘What! You don’s sinoke? Smoking isa vice. I wish Icouid break myself of it, Your sister is a lovely child, or girl, I should say. She must be fifteen years old. Is she not?” “She is but a child yet, Lieavenant—only four- teen—yet she ia more woinauly than many girls of eighteen.” “Only fourteen!’ said the pretended lMeutenant musingly. ‘I—I had a fancy that she was fifteen. I knew a child once—perhaps she’s dead now—but If she were living she would be fliteea years of axe, and the ve cture of your sister.

May I ask the name of the lady whose disappearance called forth the adver- tisement of which you speak ?”? “Her given name was Gabrielle,’ said the pre- tended officer, evasively. “If I cuuld get a trace of that insane woman and her child I would give a thousand doliars out of my own pocket. ‘Ihink whatastart in life taat sum would givea young man like you |” Mark shrank back, asfrom the touch of anem- bodied pestilence, “[can give you no assistance in your search, Lieutenant Fallon,” he satd, coldly. “Permit me to ask 11 Miss Hever 1s your own sis- ter, born of the same parents as yourself?’ de- manded the pretended officer, abruptly. “Jao not tolerate any intrusion into my private family atfairs, Lieutenant Fallon,” said Mark, haugntily. “My sister has already been annoyed by your questions tn regard to her nistury, and I must request you to leave us alone,’” “I beg your pardou, Mr. Heber,” said the villain, adding maliciously, ‘I see this 18 asore subject with you.

Ail this sne reporied to Mark, On the folowing day Mark had a violent alterca- tion with the pretended Lieutenant, No one ha‘ eyeg or ears for anything but this ex- citing scene, and it thus happened that a small body of horsemen in the uniform of the United States had come up, and had dashed into the very camp before thelr approach was noticed.
