I'HoRwALpsEN's STATUE OF BYRON.-A
case of extraordinary nature, and in which
the names of two of the greatest characters
of the age will figure, is about TO be brought
before the London tribunals. Thorwaldsen,
as il is well known, had executed a colossal
statue of Lord Byron, which he considered
as one of his best works, and presented it to
the chapter of Westminster, on condition of
Is being placed in this cathedral, beside tho
monuments of other poets. The chapter,
at first, accepted the offer; but it is equally
we'll known, that some scruples were raised
afterwards against placing the auther OF Don
Juan in this national mausoleum; and the
case containing the precious marble was
never claimed by the chapter. The tesla
mentaly executor of Thorwaldsen being in
formed Of this state Of things, made some in
quirics, and the masterpiece Of Thorwaldsen
was found lying on the floor of cellar in
state Of extreme deterioration, amongst the
Fl ,gments of the case, which the humidity
of the place had reduced to state of perfect
rottenness. Consequently person duly au-
thorlzed by the executor, addressed for
NIL clamaiion.o the authorities, but when
the Cusom-house officer wont with him to
the cellar, it was found that the statue had
disappeared, and nothing but fragments of
the case remained behind. The executors
then addressed to the Custom-hous a de-
mand for indemni,y.-This, however was re-
fused, under the plea that it cannot be an
swerabe for goods refused by the parties TO
whom they are addressed, and that such
goods remain in their stores solely at the
expense and risk of those to whom they be-
long. At this stage, in fine, the executors
have resolved on bringing an action for dam
ages against the Custom house of London.

THE PAUPERiSM OF INTEMPER-
ANCE

In looking over the late returns of the
Secretary of State, embodying the special
reports of the superintenden,s of the coun-
ty poor, under the act of March, 1912.
which directed them to make returns of the
causes of the pauperism within their re-
speciive counties, we find facts of the first
interest to those who would seek 10 STAY the
increasing tide of paupcrlsm. These ia
bles will surprise even those who have tor
years traced the fell progress of the Moloch
of lntemperance.
In the special reports the causes Of pau
perism were specified in only 1866 cases.
OF this number the following is the classifi-
81 a. .a,or.l

he several causes.
$500 5.

These authentic tables are deserving of
more than passing scrutiny. The num-
Der of regular paupers from intemperance
is Z, ABS, OF Al per cent of the whole
The number from debauchery is $50, or
about per cent. Combining these two
classes of persons reduced to pauperism by
k ndred vices, and we have 1905 out Of
1887, or about SO per cent-that is, more
than one half of all the pauperism in the
State, arises from intemperance and de-
bauchery!!
If the same returns could be extended to
every case of pauperism, from the present
date, if it is not improbable to suppose that
like proportion would still exist. Apply
ing this principle, lot US see what will be
the re suit
In 1913, the whole expense of paupers
relieved by public charity in The State of N.
York was $5}3,C67 II.
AS the above facts have shown that in
temperance and debaucheIy constitute SO
per cent of the paupersm, it is clear, that
for these two vices the people have paid, in
the year 1913, $270,OOO. ALBANY Areus.
