influences which court darkness assail the IL.
literate with scarcely less energy and more ef-
feet than they do the intelligent. Our crimi-
mails are recruited mainly from those who have
little or no education. OF the adult popula-
ton Of New York 1868 or per cent. can
not read, and this 8 per cent contributes not
far from twenty per cent. to the occupants OF
the jail or six times as many in proportion 10
their numbers as those who could read. VI
583 prisoners in the N. Y. Jails, only eight
had received a superior education. Of 1882
conyicts committed to tho Albany Peniten-
tionary, from 1S49 to 1868, 1901 could not
read, 1920 could read only, while but e,4oz
could read and write. OF 46,476 persons az
mitted to the N. Y. City prisons in leoo, Z's'o
could not read, 1869 could read only, zS'o44
could read and write, though only oo' were
well educated. The superior dexterlty OF
the educated eluding detection and punish
ment does not account for so great a disparity.
Our foreign population which is less intel
ligent than the native contributes always rel
atively and in many cases absolutely great
er number of criminals. The number of per-
sons arrested by the New York police from
1860 to 1868, was 7O6,22S. OF these 2O4, 12s
were natives of the United States, and 5O2, O99
foreigners, mostly Irish. OF the 1892 con.
victs committed to the Albany Penitentiary
from 1s49 to 1868, 1922 were natives of the
United States, and lotto foreigners. In TIA
ly and Spain the people are more illiterate and
at the same time more remarkable for theil
general wortl lessness of character than in any
other part of Western or Central Europe. /!

A Fraud upon Housekeepers

The success attending the sale Of Pyle's Dietitit
Saleratus during the past ten years. has made it 9
staple article. that is sold about as close as -four o,
sugar. But among the grocerymen there are those
who resort to very disreputable means to dissuade
their customers from the of this celebrated ar.
tcle Tor the purpose Of supplying something cheap
er, from which they derive larger profit. House.
keepers do themselves great injustice by submitting
to such imposition and incur the risk of consuming
unwholesome ii not dangerous material, which,
though pleasing 10 the eye, may be very unfit to
enter into our daily Bread
Pyies Saleratus is always put up in pound pack
ages and that persist in getting it will never

Such are few of the difficulties remaining
unexplained by Mr.. Farwelrs speech, which
we read honestly, anticipating that we should
find it a complete vindication of all parties
suspected of wrong in connection with the
paper credits. So glowing are the accounts
that we have heard of this effort, which ap-
pears so utterly pointless and unsatisfactory
in point, that we are forced to conclude that
there must be some mysterious charm in Mr..
FarwelPs elocution or that his elegant hospi-
tally at Augusta disables the judgment of his
impossible associates. 1t is to no purpose
that he attempts to identify the cause of the
substitute brokers with the honor of the State.
feebly declaiming ON the absurd hypothesis
that the military record of the State is en-
dangered by the disclosure of the bounty
frauds. No, thank Heaven! The military
record of Maine, made by the forty thousand
men whose existence was not myth, but
who upheld the honor of their State on every
battlefield of the rebellion, has an imperisha-
BILE lustre that even Mr.. Farwell's paper legions
cannot tarnish.
THE SHIPPING INTEREsT.-Mr. Pike, we
are glad to say, has found one disciple. The
paper in which are published his communica-
tons made only a nominal defence of his
statements; the shipowners and shipbuilders
and the Legislature of Maine repudiated him
in his character of an assalant of one of the
leading interests of the State of Maine. The
press Of Maine is almost unanimously against
him-all except the journal edited by disap-
| pointed ofice-seeker in York County, who
hastens to give in his blind adhesion to Mr..
Pixies views without the ability to give sin
gle reason for the faith that is in him. This
| ofice-seeker's pronunciamento will hard
iy have weight enough 10 Uo-aSD.I-'---~ s'..
