-Pauperism and Crime
A Comparison.

The concluding volume Of the
census of 1860, devoted to social
statistics, has been issued. 1t
affords the means Of many in
structive comparisons, and, among
others, of a comparison between
the nun. ,er>. Of. the dangerous
and perishing classes, and their
whole people in two distinct and
widcly-apart sections Of this Un-
ion. us follows:
New England Statistical
population, S,035, ,2S2; paupers,
1850; criminals, l6,97I. Same
number of Southern States to-
tai population 6.493,532; pau
pers, 1884; criminals, 1898.
From this it appear: -omittng
fraction~-that while there is in
New England a paupcr to each
forty, and q criminal to each one
hundred and sevcnty-four ofthe
population, in the Southern States
enumerated there was only one
pauper to each four hundred and
tifty-one, and one criminal to
each 3421 of the population. 1t
is evident that the much boasted
superiority of New England, on
account of her great moral purity
and high intelligence, tells better
in rh .torical aourishes than in
statistical figures. Whata story
it tells for the culture of s:assa-
chusctts, with her sublime sys-
TEN of free schools and her in
mum ,rable churches, that she has
1855 paupers and l2,773 GRIM
inals while Alabama, one of the
dark corners of the earth, a field
of missionary labor and philan-
thropic effort, with two-thirds as
large Il popul 'tion, had only five
hundred and eighty-two paupers,
and one hundred and seventy
nine criminals. =.

General Lee.

IL WA W. Va No
mond Times, writing from Lex
ington, has the following concern
ing General Lee: ''He has q
comfortable house, ellfurnished;
and while his salary is not large,
his every want is , supplied, and
often times anticipated.
Every stage that enters the
village brings him a parcel or box,
sent by Express, and these boxes
and parcels contain almost every
imaginable thing, from books and
pictures down to clothing and
provisions.
These boxes come from every
quarter of the globe, but chiefly
from Baltimore. j
The other day, a little girl liv-
ing some four miles in the coun-
try, sent the General a present
of apples, and the very next
evening, to her great joy, and
the amazement Of her parents.
Gen Lee rode up, alighted, en-
tered the house, and, after re-
turning his thanks, paid his little
friend a visit of some length.
He is not at all unsocial, is
free. yet cautious in conversation,
but his visits are made chiefly to
the ladies.
Sometimes his patiencei is tried
by persous requesting him to sit
for his picture or lust, and on
one occasion he was heard to de-
clare that he had rather stand

best marksmen in the army of
Northern Virginia, than be vexed

Adams Fall.

following anecdote to illustrate
the influence Of a bad example
in the formation of habits, ruin
Gus in their effect:
Adam, and Mary, his wife,
were very good members of the
church, good sort of folks any
way, quite Industrious and thriv-
ing in the world.
Whenever the minister called
to make Mary.a visit, which was
often, she contrived to have a
glass of good toddy made, and
the minister never refused to
imbibe.
After. a while Adam got to
following the example of the min
lister to such an extent that he
became a drunkard-drank up
everything he had and dallhe could
get. Mary and Adam became
very poor in consequence of his
following the minister's example
SO closely, }ut the good minister
continued still to get his glass Of
todhy. One d,y he called in and
told Mary he was going away for
a week-should return on FRI
day-and handed her a book con-
tanning the catechism, and told
her when he returned HI. should
expect her to answer the ques-
tions. Mary said yes, and laid
away the book car fully. Bnt
Mary, like a good many others,
forgot it until the very Friday
that the good minister was to re-
turn, ''What shall I do 2" said
she; "the minister is to be here
to-day, and I haven't LOOKED in
the book he gave me! How can
I answer the questions ?"
Il can tell you," said Adam;
''g;;ve me- a quarter. and let me
20 over 10 Smiths and Get some
gccd rum. sH;i you can answer
him with a class Of toddy.II =.
Mary took the advice,N gave
Adam q quarter and q Jug and
oil he started. After getting his
jug filled, and on his way back,
Adam concluded to taste the
rum. One taste followed another
until he tumbled over 4 pile Of
rocks and broke the jug and lost
all the rum. Adam managed to
staggcr home.
Soon as he got into the house
Mary asked very anxiously for
the rum.
Poor Adam managed to STAN
:Ircr out that lie stumbled over Il
pile Of rocks, and broke the jug,
and spilled. the rum.
Mary was in a fix-Adam
lrunk-the minister coming-the
rum gone-and the questions un-
learned. But here comes the min
istcr! It won't do for the man
of God to see Adam drunk, so
she for want of a better place to
hide him sent him under the bed.
BY the, time HI. was fairly under,
in came the minister. After sit
ting a few moments, he asked
Mary if she could answer the
question, ''How did Adam fall ?"
Mary turned her head first one
way, and then the other, and final
ly stammered out;
''He fell over a pile Of rocks"
It was now the ministers turn
to look blank, but he ventured
another question, "Where did he
hide himself after the fall?
Mary looked at the minister,
then at the bed, but finally she
spoke out with
E'Under the bed, sir There,
Adam, you may come out: ne
knows all about it"
The good minister retired
not even waiting for his glass of
toddy.

and stated that he vas on the. search Of a
freedman who gave. bis name as Warren
Gillian, formerly belonging to Gen. James
Gillian, Said boy broke into the Doctors
house during his absence and stole a revolver.
In tracing him up he learned that the fellow
stopped at Mrs. Miles Cromers, and ordered
dinner, telling the lady that he was in the
habit Of getting whatever he wanted-and
that his business was to burn and steal when
ever it suited him. %The Doctor traced him
to Newberry, and succeeded in recovering
the pistol which he had sold to merchant
here, saying that he purchased it in Columbia.
All along the direction he took in coming
this way, DR.. Clark learned that the fellow
made (when practicable great boasts of what
he could do, and inquired very particularly
about the burning Of Newberry: He also told
some one that he had just finished job Of
work for Mr.. Baily Suber, in this District, and
chat he wason his way to Union and Spartan
burg. We did not get,a description Of this
irrepressible Ethiopian, but would advise par
