THE DAILY BEE- ATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1885. T —————— THE MORPHINE HABIT. AlBrief Discussion of the Subject— Fooling the Wonld-Be Buicide, “‘SpeakIng about the propoted amend- ment to the city charter which is calca- Iated to close the opium cx *hop’ jonts of the city,” sald a druggist to s reporter last night, ““T very much doubt whether tho results accomplished will be as great a8 anticipated by the most sanguine, provided that ths amendment s adopted and the police sccomplish the closing of the oplum resorts, Bacause even if they do succeed In shutting up these places of opium-smoking, the kop-fiends will only resort to the practics of opium or mor- phine cating, which, In my opinfon, is Just as injurions as that of smokling.” “Do you have mu(‘l*m\ll for m a8 & habitual stimalan®” ““Yes, constently; three or four times a day I raceive a call from regular visitors who must take their dose of morphine or feel that terrible gnawing which comes from an ineatiate appetite. Who use the drag? For the most part the fallen women —men generally resort to smoking the opium. I suppose that thess women, wome of whom are in the habit of taking at one swallow doses which woula kill an ordinary person, resort to this moans of drowning the feelings of remorss and de- apsit. Yes, I have = great many alls for the drug and very occasionally I have to refase them. For example, it qulte often oc- curs that @ woman comes here in an ex- cited state of mind and intendivg sol- clde. She asks for 26 cents worth of morphine. Although I know her to be a confirmed morphine eater and probably able to stand an extra heavy dose of the drug, I never fill her order #3 it Is glven tome. Ihand her out 10 cents worth of morphine; eho rushes off, triss to com- phine mit suicide, and of course fa'ls. When she recovers fromn her temporary gloom she is ready to thank me.” “No, it is all bosh about thess storles of high-toned soclety Iadles using mor- phine. I have a pretty extensive ac quaintance among the morphine fiends, and 1 know of but one woman of good standing In soclety who is confirmedly addlcted to the habit. Of courss there are others that use the drug, bt the number, I claim, is comparatively sma'l, So with the oplum smokers. Theso different *‘jolnts” throughout the city are largely patronized, but only by men and women of the sporting class. As tor paopla in good soclety who are confirmed hop fieads, the number Is extremely small.” That School To the Editor of Tue Big. Will you bo kind enough to give me a chance to answer, through your paper, the falso statements made by Danfel O'Keoffo, and publishod in Tir Be: ‘1o school opened the 12th of January, and two or three days aftor ho whipped a small child till he fell to the floor (the child, Tsupporo )" Now, sir, O'Keeffo knows that the nohool did not open till the 14th of Janu- rouble, ary, and on the 26th of January the teach- | , er was compelled to punish aboy of George Wetmore, whose age was 12 or 13 years, but not till ho fell to the floor, as O'Keoffo says. T'wo days afterwards the zeacher punished one of O'Kecffe's boys for belng maucy aud telling stories sbout snother scholar whigh were not true. O'Keeffe then re- ported to the school hoard, and throushout the district that the teacher had strack the boy with the butt end of a riding whip over the arm and elbow and the boy was not able to use his arm. The boy, I am iuformed, was seen consting the same day that ke had recelved the punishwent. There is not a tcholar in school who saw the hoy panished but contradicted O'Keeffo's statements, I heard O'Caefla notify the tescher that his sarvices would not be required after the 12th of Febraary. 1 drow up a poti tion remonsteating against the action of O'Keeffo and_twenty persons signed it. All were rexldents of the district and most of them patrons of the school. I left the petltion with the school dlrestor, Mr. Thomas Ryan, When O'Kecfls saw the p-tition he then called a meettdg of the scliool doard to meet at Superinten- dent Brunner's office. The object was to try the teacher aud if possible remove him, 1 loarned this and drew up another petition like the one which had been left wizh the school board. With the ald of Mr. C. A. Evens, Mr. Frilz Slemme, Mrs Bruce, wo got forty additional names, and 1 pre- sented the petition to the school board ia the presence of Supt. Brunner and others, O'Keefe trled to drive Slemme, Brace and wysalf from Sapt. Branner's office but Rysn and Branner objected, They wunted to koow what we had heard through the district. After the school had by a vots of two to one concluded to rotain the teacher, O Keefe said to Mr. Iyaa, “Ishell have to Inform you that yoa ara not an officer of the dist Ryan not having filed his l:tter of acep tance withln ten days aftec bis election, although he has been & echool ofticer for nine years in the same district and was his own succeesor. The voucher of which he epeaks, he could not be compelled to sign, for the reason that there was no written contract. There were writ ten contracts filled out and signed by O'Keeffe, and the teacher and O'Keefise sgreed to take them to the others of the school board get them to sign them snd return one to the tescher as he (O'Keeflo) was worklng near where the other two lived. This he did not do, and after he had forced the trouble on the dlstrici and the teacher, destroyed or caused to be destroyed the contract. 1 have Mr. Ryan's consent to ssy that he never gave his consent to anyone to have the teacher discharged, i My motives In starting the petition will be seen at 4 glance. O'Keeffe would like to have people think some one else had been doing the dirly work lnstead of himself, Mr. Parker has shown himselt to be & gentleman and & good school ieacher aud seems to have the good will of all the scholars now attending.

New Yors, February 27.—Gossip is rife in Wall street as to the secret of the absence of Logan C. Murray, president of the United States National bank, Murray's friends say that he is on a western business trip to attend his brother’s marrisge in Louisville, Rumors have been current that his absence was signifi- cant, Itissaid that the bank’s capital is im- paired, but this rumor cannot be ve! Cyrus W, 1d said that the bank was good and he would give $1 25 for the stock; that he knew nothing about the bank’s loans; that he did not know if it had loaned money on the Washington building, but did know that it had not lcaned any money to bLim on it; tiat there would be no assessment on tha stock, but a volnntary contribution by the stock- holders might Le made to increase the bank’s eurplus, A private banker says: “The Uunited States banks have paid no dividend and if the stock holders put thair hunds in their pockets and give mouey to the bank, they do not in crease the eurniuge, nor its surplus, They may add to its apparent curplus, but it does not make a true showing. I don’t think that kiud of hanking is legitimpte or proper. 1f the bank had met w th no heavy losses, why do the dircetors want to increse their suc pius, when money 15 only worth 1 or 4 per cent in Wall streat? It 1s an unheard of and unprecedented proceeding,” The Wall Str News says: “We under. stand that Cyrus W, Lield is the originator and main stay of THREE STOCK POOLS in this market, namely one in New York C:ntral, one in Westorn Union and the third in Manhattan, It is aleo stated that with great coafidance by people who ought to know, that some one bas tillad each of these pools, up to the overflow point, and rumor says that the gentleman who did it is Jay Gould, Ttis ed on good anthority that only & small portion of the St. Paul's termival honds have been sold by Blake Brothers, and that they have their own sponge on the rest, as the company haa a lares floating debt, snd the expenses from storms ete, have been ex tremely heavy, A reduction of the dividends is cortain, THE DEFEAT OF THE SILVER COINAGE suspension measuce in the house yesterday, was made the occasion f sharp attack on the share list by the be st the opening of bLusiness this morning, and those bulls wh re- cently realized heavily, seconded the efforts of the bears to bring about a lower range of .

Tie Mighty Changes of Natiors end Pe.ples in Tairty-S:ven Years, A Oomparison of the Corner-Stone Ceremonics with the Dedication of the Washington Monument by One Who Witnessed Both Noted Figuares Then Now. and Correspondence of tha Bee, Wasmizaron, D, C, Feb., 21, 1835 This day bas witnessed the final ceremo- nies attending the completion of the Washington monument, The made by one of the early congresees, that in this the natlonal cap'tal there should be erected a monument to commamorate “ithe greas events of the military and po- litleal life of George Washington,” has been fally and sacredly redeemed by the men of to day. True, it stood but par- tially built for more than thirly years, a breken shaft, like a giant cak of the for est with all its fellows cut down around it, and riven of its branches by the light- nings of heaven; or like some abandoued lighthouse upon a distant and dismal cosst. There it has atood, bold and des- olate in its grim granduer, a constant re- pledge minder of a nation’s unfaithfalness, But it has now risen towards tho skies till its capstone has been laid among the very clouds of heaven, and there it will staud through the ages, and will point to the coming time and peo- plo that which is the common proparty of the north and the south, the east and Washington. The military and civie procession t3- day made a very hsndsome display. The weather was arctle for saint and sinner, but this did not prevent ths assembling of an immense throng around the monu- ment where the dedicatory exercises tovk place. W. W. Corcoran, the banker, was present. He and Robt. C. Win. throp, ara THE ONLY ONES OW LIVING of thess who were officially connected with the ceremony of laying the corner- stone. The president mide a very ap- propriste brief speech in consecratng tue menument, in the name of ths Amerlean people, forever in the memory of him in whose honor it was erected. The dedication prayer was delivered by the Rev, Mr. Suter, ractor of Christ church, Alexandrla, of which Washiny- ton was a member; and, from its length, secmed Jike an endless cable; it had been written and printed Ho re-d and read aud read, while the people shook an’. shivered as tie polar broadsides siruck them, ochilling to the veqy bone as if they had boen wafced from ‘‘Greenland’s fcy mountains.” If he had just sald at the beginning, “Lord 1 have my prayer here printed, buc it ia 8) long and the weather socold that I will not read it, but wiil ask leave to print it in the morning papers,” the aucisnce could have shouted an amen with an unction thas the elderof a Methodiat camp meeting would have envied. Oa the occaslon inaugurativg the monument thirty seven years ag», the chaplatn de- livere®n prager which filled neazly a column and a balf of the Natlonal Intelli- gencer, under the scorching rays of a 4th of July Washiogton sun, and they almost melted with fervent heat. If the strength and durability of the column are in any degree commeneurate with the lengih of the prayer of consacration at the boginning and the cad it will stand for- ever. Ia tha afternoon THE HALL OF THE HOUSE pregented a brilliant scene. There was gathered there such an audience as rarely areets the pride or the ambition of any orator, The president of the Unlted States aud his cabinent, the members of the senate and ths house, the judg:s of the sapreme court, officors of the army and pavy in glittering uniforms, the di- plomatic corps, governors of states with wheir staffs, were thers, wtile gaiety and fashion thronged the ga/leries and lobbles of the house, Mr. Wianthrop had baen the orator at the beginning, and it wae fitting that he should be the orator at the clesa. It was much to be regretted that his health and the rig- orous wintery weather provented his presence, The oration prepared by bim was delivered in an impressiye and elo- quent manner by Ex-Goveraor Long, a representative in congress from Macsa- chueetts, It is a beautifal production, classic in s'yle, eloquent in thought and matter, and in the purest Eaglish, as everytaing is thas comes from his fin- tshed pen. Eloquen’ as was his oration at the commasncement of this work, this of to-day is mach its superior, thus show- iog his facultles as growing btrizhier with advancing sge, iostead ~ of becomiug dimmed. John W, Daniel, of Virgivis, also delivered a very fine address, well conceived in i's spirit and its anslysis of Washington's character.

The military, the civic bodies, the fire- men in thelr gay uniforms, the numerous Masonle fraternities in full regalla, as they marcheddown Pennsylvania avenue, farnished a magnificent display, Gen. Quitman, one of the heroes of the Mexican war, just returned from the fields of battle, was in command. The president of the United Stater, and cabinet, were in the prosession. Gen. Scott with h's stafi rode in the line mouated; Soott with his wassive frame well nigh geven feet In height, in a bril- liant uniform, sitting on & charger rela- tive in size and proportion to his rider, presented a majestic appearance, Dolly Madison, widow of ex-President Madison, and the widow of Alexinder Hamilton rode Inan open baroache, also several heroes of the revolatlon, many of the war of 1812, and of the Mexicin war, weraia the line. The cersmonles at the corner stons were of a most impressive and {mposing chairacter. Corcoran was the only one present then and now, to link that event with the event of to-day. Mr. Winthrop closed his address on that occaslon with theee eloquent words: The republic may perish, the wide arch of ravged union may fall, star by star its glory may expire, stone by stove its columos and its capital may crumble, all other names which adorn its anoals wmay be forgotten, but a huran heart shall anywhere pant, or humsn tongue shall anywhere plead, for & true, na tional, coustitutional liberty, those hearts shall enshrioe the memory, and those tongues shall prolong the fameof George Wassiog nr, Bitween thess two events what the west, the name and the fame of | changes have taken place! Jumes K. Polk was then president of the Unlted States, James Buchanan was secretary of state, Tobt. J. Walker of Mississipoi was secrotary of the tressury: Wm 1 Marcy, of New York, ¥as wicituy war; John Y., Mason, of Virzinia, way secretary of the navy; Cave Johnson, of Tennesses, postmaster general; end Nathan Clifford, lats & jastice (f the su- preme court, was atloruey general; the intertor department was not then crz ated. ALL HAVE PASSED AWAY, Not s member of the present govern ment, not & member of the present eonate or houss of rejrescntatives was then in national pablic life. Webster, Clay, Cal- houn and Benton, were the great central figures of the thenssnate. The name of Gladstono wi valy known cutsids the limits ¢f Kogland., Benjammn Dis rili had but recently become famil- iar to the fietion rosders of afterwards making ths name of Beacons- field famous; Lords John Russll and Palmeraton weva the names thea fore mostin Britlsh affairs; Louts Kossuth had not then hacome a hietoric charactor; Loats Phillippe bad_jast abandoned the throne of the *‘barricades” and escaped, disgulsed fn a workingmen's bloure, accoss the British chanuel on a fishing smack, under the name of John Smith; Louis Napoleon had just been olected a member of the national sssembly; Lamartine was at the head of vhe aflatre in Puris; the third empire had 1ot been thought of save in the tchem'ng brain of Napoleon; the Frovch ropublic was then in the hands of dellverence; the ltaly of today was then only petty states; the Garman em- vite was undreamed of, and Bismarck was unknown ia the politiss of Karope; the Orimean war, Alms, Inkerman, the charge of the I ght brigide at Balaklava, the siege of Schastapol, ths battlcfields Solferino, Magenta, Sadows, Month, iravelot'e,Metz and Sedan were not then found in mili'ary annals. At that time time there was no Americin state ON THE PACIFIC COAST. Oregon was not even a territory, and was little known cxcept in the lines of Bry- ant’s immortal *‘Thanatopeis”: “Where rolls the Oregon And knows no sound Save ita own dashing.” Towa had only recently become a state, and Wisconsin was still a territory, Nebraska, Kansss, Minnesota and Dakota were then only parts of the Little explored great American desart. Sterling Morton and Dr. Miller had not then risen to a conception of the_task of dlspensing fed- eral patronags in Nebraska under a dem- ocratic administration, with a president, who, at that time, was probably pitching marbles, or hunting ehells, on the Jer- ecy flats; Frank Walters hed not then ovolved the idea of running a Nebraska legislatutura and Frank Harlan was only plavning mighty events in the womb of time. Yes, wonderfol changes have taken place. Throues havo di:appearsd and rapublics, kingdoms, and empir:s have been created. The third empire came with the suddenness of a thief in the night; it dazzled the world for a time with ity brilllancy, and then disappeared in the dirkness of night, as suddenly a3 it came: its founder dying In exile of a guilty conscience and & broken ~ heart; ais empress, the empress of two spheres, the emprees of tho French, and tne empress of fashlon, is traveling along a lonely way to the end, a ead reminder of what once was. The phantom of an empire across the sea flitted before the mind of Ma'wxi'lien and drew him south from his quiet retreat at Thiesto, to be shot to death by the soldiers of the republican pres'dent, Benitec Guanetz, on the plains of gMexico. The' Franco-German war haa changad the map cf Europe, and the recesses of Africa hitherto hermetically soaled, are being opened up to civllization and com- merce.

That night 1stood gaard daty forths firat time in my life, and was sta- tloned in front of a window with Instruc- tlons to shoot any one attempting to get out of that aperture; fortunately my fears that there will be s eudden and uncon- controllable desire on the part of the en- tire outfit to endeavor to escapa by means of that particalar window and on that parlicular occaslon prove unfoanded and I am not required to bathe my hands in the blood of my fellows at any time dur- ing the long night. Our service here was quite pleasant, though we ywere on guard _duty evory cther day. We escaped drill, however, our rations were abundsnt, and we took graat interest in our regular evening dress parade which wes held on Eighth street just south of Gratiot. The regiment was one of ths best drilled in the army, bada spiendid brass band and saperlor marttal music, and these paradesattracted crowds of visitors, and much favorable comment on the part of the St. Louis press. On one of theso ocossions a union lady who lived directly in frontof the porition oo- cupled by the regiment when on parade, presented us with a beautiful wreath. It was carried out to Col. Tuttle by the bright little davghter of the donor, as he stood in feont ot the canter of the Jine, the command stsnding at *‘parade rest.” The colonel directed her to carry it to the color bearer (brave Harry Doolittle whose blood stained the snow at Fort Donelson one weck later as it poured from four wounds made by rebel bullsts), the silken flag is lowered, the little girl places the wreath upon the spesr head of the flag staff, the colors are raisad, s burst of music by the band, the happy child runs swiftly to her mother while the regiment returos to quarters. Fobruary Tth, 1862, we recelve tne nows of the capture of Fort Henrg, whereat there iy great rejoicing, and the following day brings with It marching orders from "Gen. Hallack, department ccmmander. Febraary 9th we escort to & steamer the pritonors whom we have been guarding, and as the boat swings off into the stream to carry them 1o Alton, Ill., where they are to be con- fined in the old penitentlary bulldiog, they gave three reusing cheers for Jeff, Davis, and then thres cheers, quite as hearty, for the Second Iows. The next day we march down the rlver and take passage on the T, H, McGlll, under very disagreeable clrcumstances. When we took charge of McDowell's college we found storsd awsy in the attlc » large and valaable mussum. 1t was suppossd that this 1nuseum was fully protected from damage, but a few of our men broke into the room and Injared it to some ex tent, jusf our marching orders were issued. This comlog to the knowledge of Gen, Halleck he dlsgraced the entire reclment by directing that we shou'd march through the streets on our way to the steamer, without musiz and with our colors furled. This wes an actof injus- tiee which exclted afeeling of resentment on the part of the regiment, intensfied b{flm, Halleck's subsequent ill treatment of Gen, Graotafter the bat'le of Donclson, which resulted in our utter lnabili'y to appreclate Gen. Halleck in after yoars as s m'litary man 10 the degrec tha sibly, he desarved. EN ROUTE FOR DONELSON .
