advantages Of refined training. and no fell rapidly
into the company Of roughs and rowdiss.
The Chi,ago Tribune makes this bitter retort--
whether just or unjust wc know not:
Perhaps Mr.. Brodericks carly associations were
not of the most select, but the people Of Illinois
know that they could never have been iower or
mnre di.reputnble than those nj Douglas. Ask
those who know Douglas before he 6rst ran for
Congress in the Springfield district. Ask those
who furnished him rum on credit about those
times, and mover got their money Ask the gen.
tlenen who threatened to put him out Of hotel
n, Jonesboro for sdisseputsble conduct as late -
1855. Ask tho citizens Of Chicago who saw him in
adrunken brawl ON the National Fair grounds four
weeks ago.

MORTALITY IN AIMS HoUsEs.--The Hon.
Il. +. Butler the Democratic candidate for
Governor of Massachusetts, made the fol-
lowing extraordinary statement at public
meeting in Boston "A few nights since:s
According 10 the statistics furnished by
the present State Legislature, AS a report OF
their own committee, it is more dangerous
to spend year in a Massachusetts aims
house, than il would have been Ia have led
the charge of the ZouaveS ut the battle of
Magenta. see that this statement strikes
some of yon with dread. Let me repeat
There were a larger proportion of the regi-
ment which led the attack at the battle of
Solferino came out from that battle TN
Scathed, than there were of the panpers of
1858, who came out alive from the State
almshouSes of Massachusetts,. Sensation.
Allow me to give you the figures How
many was the average number of paupers
in the State almshonses during 1858 p
Twenty-seven hundred and some odd. How
many died in the year ending October lsi,
1858? Six hundred and siyty-six-one in
every four Every fourth man, woman and
child that went into the State almshouse of
Massachusetts,, died and was buried in the
Potter's field of pauper's burying ground.
Three hundred and forty-one children, I'M
der the age of FIVE years, died in those char
mel houses, and the physician of one of these
houses says he does not expect to rear but
three per cent. of the children brought there
under one year old Three out of a hund-
red-all the other ninety go to a
nameless grave.
