Tho London Times in recent issue
prints some statistics of London pauper-
is M, which is of a most startling character.

a fort who are not brave enough to tell a
lie. There are heroes who can smile when
a doctor cuts off their legs, who cannot
break miserable little habit of petulance

be naturalized AS American citizens the
same rights, privileges and immunities on
Austrian soil as belong to native-born
American citizens. The principle involv-
cd is not only just in itself, but may at any
time become of great practical importance
for example, during the progress of such
a war as that now raging between France
and Prussia. Our government has for Two
years engaged in trying TO secure the rec
ognition of this principle by all govern
ments of Europe. II has thus far met with
remarkable success.

cality as well as its character. 1t Is to be
published in New York, as weekly pa
