Too PRouD TO BEG.-It is said that there
are thousands OF worthy citizens, men and
women, in New York-as there are, no
doubt, hundreds in all other large cities
who are too proud to beg or let their circum-
stances be known and are, therefore. silent
ly pining in secret deStitution. The Mirror
says the pawn-shops only tell their sad story,
and adds:
First 90 the luxuries-the superfluous
furniture-the silver spoons--tte spare
clothing-the jewelry, even TO the bridal
ring and then the bedding, the tables, the
chairs, and SO through the whole inventory
of articles that can be dispensed with, whil-
life is retained. To accommodate this in
born and inalienable American pride, the
pawn-shops are provided with stalls, so that
the melancholy bartering may be done with
out exposing the poor victim of that pecu-
liar institution to public shame. The
amount of business at these establishments,
within the last three months, exceeds all pre-
cedent. Watches, gold pencils. and silver
spoons, have been pledged by th' bushel, and
every nameable and unnameable article of
furniture and clothing. A friend of ours
saw poor woman al Simpsons one day last
week, pawnng her nndcr- clothing to raise a
shilling to go to market with. Another had
cut up her bed, and made il into pillows,
which she had pawned for q similar pur-
pose"

The TARIFF REDucTIoN.-The well-in-
formed Washington correspondent of the
Journal Of Commerce has had an opportuni
ty of examining the plan of reduction of
duties on imports prepared by the chairman
of the committee Of ways and means, and
gives the following as the scale Of reduction
which it is proposed to submit to the
House:
The basis of the change proposed, is q
reduction of 20 per cent. from the rates es-
tablished by the tariff Of 1916. This would
change the schedules to so, 80, 24. 20, 16.
IL, 8, per cent, instead of 100, 40, 80, 25,
20, l5 10, and S, as now established. A
few important transfers are made in the
classification, which of course will prove
Exceptions to this uniform reduction. Silks
which now pay 25 will be included in the
"a per cent. list; linens and blankets will
pay 20, as at present. Wool, manufactured,
will be classed either in the or per cent.
schedule, instead Of 30, as at present. Raw
silk. unmanufactured flax, unmanufactured
grasses, most manufacturers dye stuffs. &c,
will be classed in the q per cent, while the
remaining dye stuffs, codilla, or tow of hemp
and fax, and some other raw materials will
be added to the free list. We should prefer
to have wool in the free list, for the benefi,
Of the wool-grower and the manufacturer

ment will be proposed while the bill is un.

universally appear TO possess, seems to
dwell In the grace and tact peculiar to all

GEN. o. HTNToN-Some of our readers
may be curious to know the whereabouts
of this distinguished gentleman. who for
merlly figured SO largely in this region. We
are indebted to the Chicago Press for the fol-
lowing item of intelligence, contained in a
letter lately received from Honolulu
Among the foreigners residing in this
city is Gen. o. Hinton, we'll known to many
of the older nhabitants Of Chicago as a mail

was attempting to practice law. Subse-
quently he kept hotel, but with Indifferent
success. Latterly he is working as jour
neyman house carpenter, and, as under

ber, industrious and quiet, and seems dis
posed to acquire the reputation of good
citizen"

M. Victor Considerant, the famous French
socialist, arrived at New York on Saturday
night, on board the steamship Union, from
Europe He will be remembered by many
of our readers as a conspicuous actor in the
events in Paris which followed the French
revolution Of l848. Probably the disastrous
termination of the republic, which originated
in that great struggle, may be attributed
more to the efforts Of Louis Blanc, Consider
ant and others to overturn the existing sys-
tenn of property, family and society in France
than to any thing else. They SEEMED to con-
slider that the outbreak of l848 was their
revolution, and that all others whose views
differed from them were enemies Of the lib
eral movement. France could not stand
such leaders, and violent remedy for their
nostrums was soon found. They are now in
exile. Considerant comes to land where
his theories will be harmless, and where he
may carry them out on small scale, with
his followers, without molestation from any
body. II is understood that he has colony

BASE TRICK EXPOSED. The Know-N Nothing press
has been circulating, for long time sentence
purporting to be an extract from letter LAFAYETTE
of which says that f the liberty of the United
States is destroyed, it will be by Romish priests"
Upon examination it has been discovered that this
quotation, as used, is no better than A FoRGERY.-
LAFAYETTE NEVER EXPRESSED ANY SUCH OPINION His
letter has been most dishonesty and shamefully gar.
bled, SO to make him assert the very reverse of
what he believed and expressed. The letter was
written to gentleman in New York, shortly after
his return to France from his visit to the United
States in 1926.
The friendly expressions ofregard for my health
and happiness conveyed in your kind letter to me
Of the 10th ult, beg you to be assured are grate-
full to my feelings and shall cherish the recollec.
ton OF the many services and kndnesses towards
me, both on the part of yourself and lady while
was your guest in America, as among the most
pleasing "reminiscences connected with nv late visit
to the United States. = cannot but ad.
mre your noble sentiments of devotion and attach
ment to your country and its institutions. But I
must be permitted TO assure you that the fears
which, in your patriotic zeal you to entertain
that if the liberty of the United States is des.
troyed it will be by Romish priests, are certainly
without any shadow of foundation whatever An
intimate acquaintance Of more than half century
with the prominent and influential priests and mem
bers of that church, both in Europe and America,
warrants me in assuring you that you need enter
tain no apprehension of danger to your republican
institutions from that quarter."-Rieh. Enquirer.
