1t is proposed to establish an asylum
in Burlington County for the cure of
confirmed drunkards. opium eaters, and
other persons in like affection. The
plan is to appropriate, by law. ten per
cent. of the tavern licenses for the sup
port of the institution, the same to be
retained by the county collectors and
paid overly them to the State Treasurer
for this purpose. DIR. Joseph Parrish,
who has similar establishment in very
successful operation at Media, Pa, is
spoken of as the manager of the insti-
tuition. Rightly conducted for instance
as the Binghamton Asylum isunaer DIR.
Days charge such an establishment
would be great blessing.

ide If you will not consent to this
we will bring suit to recover the money
and you will be discharged. If you
will divide fair and square we will say
no more about it and yon can go on

We'll, now, Mr. Manager, that
strikes me as the fairest thing | have
heard of. Us boys on the road heard
sota,e time since that there was to be
some muss raised, but we did not ex-
pect anything of his kind, or that we
would be dealt with so literally. We
were perfectly willing to divide. If
this is all the di .ecto ask of US. / can

Sitting OUT THE BEGGARs I'VE should
no doubt be surprised, if we could
know the exact truth about the condi-
zion of those who solicit aims, to fluid
how large is the proportion of beggars
who are really not deserving of any as
sistance. 1t is very much greater than
some people suppose. While there is
vast amount of real restitution and
misery that requires and is entitled to
relief, the ranks of the begging frater-
nifty are swelled by all sorts of impos-
tors. There are many scores of child
rem who visit our houses daily gather
ing up cold victuals which are taken
home to feed, not the destitute family
but. the lusty ,boarders whom the moth
er of the 'beggar child keeps. There
are pretended orphans and bogus wild
ows, blind beggars who can see well
enough when they are not begging,
h,zy loafers in borrowed soldier over
coats playing the role of suffering vet,
Grams, whisky drinking dead beats with
woful tales of no work I'd dependent
Families concocted for til, purpose of
professional begging, and last but not
unfrequently dainty beggars who throw
away what is given in charity. if it does
not happen to he of sort to be made
available for drinks. 1t is hard to say
what one ought to do to avoid misap,
plying ones charities It is perhaps
better to give than to refuse, since if in
only one case in a dozen real good is
done to the worthy poor, there will
have been so much good done in any
event. The following plan is not bad
one 4; it has worked well in the case
cited. YesG l3f9g..s. ,sssk X. 4
A novel mode of managing beggars,
Instituted by an English parish, is
Eorthy of imitation. The people re
Gently organized society of relief,
which distributes tickets to every
house. An applicant for aims is given
q ticket instead of money, and is in
Htracted to take it to the society's Off
Ger. If he is hungry he receives bread
which he must eat there aud then but
If he wants more he is passed on to the
relieving officer who examines the case
mentions what the guardians have done
and advises whether m oney should or
should not be allow ed The beggars
do not like this arrangement at all.
Out OF four hundred individuals who
were sent to the society in the first
month, only twenty-six were worthy
cases Two hundred took their bread
and marched on, and one hundred and
twenty decamped at once. If our
American people were to adopt and
carry out some such plan as this, the
numher of beggars wonld very materi-
ally diminish. Worthless scamps are
encouraged to solicit charities by the
careless method of giving which now
prevails.

The deputy chairman read report detailing
what had been done in prosecuting the claims, and
explaining the present aspect of the case. He said
they not fighting their own, but the battles of
all those whose interests might be effected by
changes of the government-the principle involved
being the inyiolabty of contracts made by de facto
governments.
The decision Of the Lord Chancellor was in their
favor, and he believed that court of equity would
adjudcate the amount of cotton claimed, which
would make the bonds as valuable. Resolutions
protesting against Mr. Summers speech, and au-
thorizing petition to Parliament, were read, but
not voted on, and without action the meeting ad-
journed.
The mail steamer Mandingo, from the west coast

martial law, and while the Mandingo was there

permission of the Governor, was prohibited.

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
The Programme of Exercises.

Last evening the Committee of Councils APP
pointed to arrange for the ceremonies incident
to the presentation of the Washington statue
on Monday next met in Select Council chamber.
Messrs Freedom, Gordon, and Cooper, on be-
half of the Monument Association, were present,
and explained to the committee what was pro-
posed to be done. The children, whose liberality
has secured the monument, had been invited to
be present, and the question was what DISPOSE
tion to make of them in connection with the
ceremonies 1t was estimated that two or three
thousand children would be in attendance. 1t
was decided to give this portion of the pro-
gramme to the control of Professor Bower, in
connection with the Committee Of the Monu-
ment Association.
The children will meet at their respective
schools and march TO Independence Square, en-
tering by the Walnut street gate. Here they
will be joined by the several associations bear
ing the name OF Washington, and then march to
the front of the Hall.
A stand will be erected for the committee and
orators; but in order to avoid accidents, the
children and others will be ranged on the side
walk in front of the statue, the whole square
being kept clear for them.
The committee also decided to employ
McClurg's Band for the occasion. This band
will escort Captain Brodie company of Cadets,
seventy in number, who are to form the guard OF
honor.
salute will be fired from Independence
Square upon the paveiling ofthe statue.
The following programme for Monday was
