THE GREAT METROPOLIS. -Lcndon now
covers 121 square miles, having increased
three-fold. since the year 1900; and bricks
and mortar still invade and capture the
green fields The population, according to
the report of the Registrar General aug
ments at the rate IF about one thousand per
week half by birth and half by immigration.
Notwithstanding the enormous wealth OF
the metropolis, it is recorded in the report
of the Registrar General as remarkable
fact, that zone in six Of those who leave the
world die in one of the public institutions
"a work house, hospital, asylum or prison
Nearly one in eleven Of the deaths is in a
work house" This shows that poverty fol-
lows close at the heels of wealth; and fas-
tens Oh the multitude with relentless grasp.
Every sixth person dies pauper or Grim
inal Can this be said Of any other city
on the globe2 And hoH great d number
there must be who barely manage to escape
this fate. The severe. competition for
subsistence and wealth which characterizes
London life is a terrible ordeal for any hu-
man being to pass through, and thousands
fail in the attempt, cr,sshed beneath tie gol-
den Juggernadt. It is now notorious, says
London paper, that in the large establish
ments where sotiie Hundreds Of assistants
are employed, the great majority of them
are broken down tradesmen, crushed by the
competition of capital, Even these cccupa-
tons are obtained with difficulty, and the
less fortunate gradually sink lower and low
er in the scale, till they are driven into the
public institutions, where they meet an i'm
timely death. This list Is further swellec
by the numerous class who, born il a res
pectable sphere and well educated, sink int
degradation from the sheer love of displa,
and the vanity Of living beyond their means
It is on record that out Of 5000 convict
who have passed their probation at Pentdn
vile, l 900 fell through this wretched vice
and it is added that most of this numbe
were originally respectable in more thai

The Report is Cheering.

Hon David Tod has just passed through
town on his way home from series of glo-
irious meetings, and reports that nothing can
exceed the enthusiasm and promise in the
signs Of the times. TO use his own express
sion He was every time disappointed in
the size of his audience, never calculating
half large enough.
In his opinion after comparing notes with
close calculators, Ohio will poll this fall

LINCOLN MORE CONSERVATIVE THAN DouG
LAs.-The ground taken by many of the
Breckenridge men is, that Lincoln is more
conservative than Douglas. Judge Petit,
one of the ''ol1 public functionary's" foot
men in Indiana, has written letter against
Douglas, and it has been printed. We
make an extract from it. He says, ''The
truth is, there is no regular nominee of the
Democratic party in the field, and every
Democrat is at liberty to vote for whom be
pleases, without violating party usages or
party faith, l prefer Breckenridge ard
Lane because their political faith and plat
form are mine. It is said that this policy
will elect Lincoln. Let it to be so, rather
than that Douglas should succeed. | be-
lieve that lincoln is a more conservative
and sounder national man than Douglas,
and that less danger to the Union, and to
its parts, North and South, is to be feared
by the election of the former than of the
latter
The footman is not so cautious as the
master We have not the least doubt bu
that Mr.. Buchanan also, would rather set
! Lincoln than Douglas succeed to the Pres.
idcntial chair bnt he is too cunning TO say
so. Petit, on the other hand, blabs, and
betrays the real desires of those whom hs
serves He echoes his master III saying
"there is no regular nominee Of the Demo
cratic party in the field, and every dem octa
is at liberty to vote for whom he pleases
without violating party usages or party
faith )" yet he knows that there are thou
sands of democrats who happen to hold Of.
fee under the administration who are not a
liberty to vote for whom they please, bu
must obey the cohorts of the President.

A New Yorker Narrowly Escapes
Notwithstanding Story of
Crime.


Tie Dexter (Michigan) correspondent of
the Detroit Adoertiser tells a strange story
of ore Charles Bostwick. who, it says, came
to that place from New York. nearly eigh-
teen months since. Bostwick's repqted ia
thor was respectable citizen of Dexter,
and was possessed Of considerable property.
The young man had become quite dissipa-
ted by his residence in this city, and his ia
Their, hoping to reform him, induced him to
remove to the West with his wife. Among
Tie first acquaintance he formed was that
OF Mr.. George w. Hayes He Immediate
ly became intimate with the family, and
was quite marked in his attentions to Mrs.
Hayes. Meantime, The young man father
died, and the sympathy which Mr.. Hayes
felt for him :fforded him a better opportu-
nifty to Garry on the intrigue which he had
commenced. Finally matters reached such
pass that Mr.. Hayes could not shut his
eyes to the evidences Of infdelity on the part
of his wife, which were continually thrust
upon him, and he forbade Bostwick enter
ing the house. The prohibition was again
and again disregarded, until the citizens
took part in the injured husband and threat
eued to lynch his betrayer. On one occa-
sion he was about. to receive coat of tar
and feathers, when Mrs. Hayes walked over
to the hotel where he was staying, and placed
pair of loaded revolvers in his hands, with
which he protected himself. This demon
stfation frightened Bostwick away from Dex-.
ter for several months, but on the night of
the Srd, Mr.. Hayes. on going home from
business, could find nothing of his wife -
His sister-in-lan, ID answer to his Questions
said that she had gone to bed sick with
headache. Mr.. Hayes finally prepared to

room for that purpose wEet lie Heard whis-
pering in his wife's apartment. He imme-
diately went to the door of her room and de-
manded admittance. After some parley the
door was opened, and Mr.. Hayes, looking
Under the bed, discovered Bostwick, who
Immediately came out from his hiding place
and Tie two belabored Mr.. Hayes with
chair until it was broken to pieces. His
cries finally attracted the attention Of the
neighbors and passers by, but Bostwick man
aged to make good his escape before they
could apprehend him. The only article of
clothing which the fugitive had on at the
time was his shirt, but he managed to sur
ply the deficiencies in his wardrobe and to
escape arrest until the Wednesday succeed
! ing, when the officers found him lsecreted
near Ann Arborr. He vas returned to Dex7
ter the next day, and is now awaiting trial
Oh charges of assault and intent to kill, and
of adultery Mrs. Hayes is held to answer
similar charges.

A DIFFICULT QUESTION ANSWERED. Can
any one tell why, when Eve was manufac-
tured from of Adams ribs, hired girl was
not made at the same time to wait on her
We can, easy. Because Adam never came
whining to Eve with ragged stocking to
BE darned, collar string to be sewed on, or
a glove to mend, fright away, quick, now -
Because he never read the newspaper until
the sun got down behind the palm treess and
then, stretching himself, yawned out "Aint
supper most ready, my dear 7" Not he!-
He made the fire, and hung the tea-kettle
'oyer it himself, wen venture, and pulled
the radishes, peeled the bananas, and did
everything else he ought to. He MIXED the
COWS, fed the chickens, and looked after the
pigs himself. He never brought half a
dozen friends to dinner, when Eve hadn't
any fresh pomeg.anates, and the mango sea-
son was over. He never stayed out till
lelevcn O'clock to a ward meeting" hurrah-
ing for an out and-out candidate, and then
scolded because poor Eve was sitting up and
crying inside the gates He never played
/ billias DIS, and drove fast horses, nor choked
Eve with cigar smoke. He never loafed
around corner groceries, while solitary Eys
was rocking little Gains cradle at home
In short, he didn't think she was especially
created fsf the purpose Of waiting on him.
and wasn't under the impression that it dis
graced man to Tighten his wife's cares a
little. That's the reason that Eve did NOT
need hired girl, and we wish it was the
reason that none of her fair descendants did.

Is JUDGE DOUGLAS SOUND There are
some persons in the South (says the Angus
ia Constitutionalist) who are inuocently or
maliciously disposed to create the impress
sion that Judge Douglas is not a reliable
man for the South. IF We DID not regard
him as safe man, his name should not re-
main at the head of our columns, nor would
Herschel v johnson allow his name to be
in ticket with him. Judge Douglas has
devoted his entire political life in contest
against Abolitionists and Republicans, and
he presents as fair record as any man in
Fany portion of the Union.
At recent Democratic demonstration in
Alabama. in jackson county, the proceed
ngs of which we find in the Huntsville
Southern Advocate, several speeches were
delivered. Wemake only the following ex-
tract
speech, full Of pith and point. He said
whom in Washington city, he called upon
Gov. Fitzpatrick, and asked him, as one
intimately conversant with Judge Doug las
and his views, was he sound and safe for
the South. Coed God, Bynum,' said Gov.
Fitzpatrick, Judge Douglas is as sound as
| am, or as you are 7 Therefore, said Mr..
Bynum, voted for him in the Convention,
having my own opinions so strengthened.
Senator Tcombs, of Georgia, and Gov. An
dy johnson, are equally emphatic in bear
ing testimony to Douglas soundness and
honesty. Messrs. Saunders and Bynum
are among the largest shareholders in Ala
bama; are no oAice-seekers !; are only plant
ers, interested in the welfare of the country,

disunion schemes of the wild, reckless am
