Judge Barnard yesterday let q full food Of
light In on the Ludlow Street Jail, the prison
which, in our city and century, still remains
to serve the purpose Of the long abolished
Fleet Of London, where poor old Piokwick
pined for the damages he would not pay Mrs.
Bardell. Even slender ray of light upon so
barbarous q relic is enough to expose and
condemn il, and after the revelations made
yesterday and those that are yet to be made
officially through the Courts we may look to
see the end Of debtors prisons in free New
York. Such an institution could have existed
so long as 1t has only through the fact that it
Is not devoted alone to Imprisonment for debt.
There are men charged with real crimes and
men who are real criminals incarcerated with
In its walls as well AZ men charged only with
poverty and misfortune. Judge Barnard,
however. may be safely trusted to eliminate
the poor from the rascally, and we shall have
. highly desirable jail delivery.
About forty prisoners-a motley crew-were
taken from this den to the Court of Oyer and
Terminer yesterday, to have the wrongs they
had so patiently endured investigated. Their
very appearance pleaded more piteousIy for
aid than words could have done. They were
Of all colors and ages. At least one of them
Was gray aud palsied with age. Another was
sick and pale. and physicians were on hand to
prove that the jail was no Ht place to keep a
sick man In. Judge Barnard discharged the
old man at once, and also let 60 negro who
had been Imprisoned, ii seems, because his
wife had taken q dress which belonged to
some one else. The rest were rcmandcd until
Friday, when, doubtless, some more disclo-
sures Of legal barbarian will make the public
ear tingle.

balls were given in honor Of Queen vic-
tOris and Prince Albert, in 1855, Victor
Emmanuel, during the same year, and the
Grand Duke Constantine. two years later.
At the time of the great Exposition there
was also grand ball given here, at which
were present probably larger number OF
European monarchs and princes than ever
before assembled together on single occa-
sion. immediately underneath the Galarie
des Fetes was the Sale St. Jean, used for
civic and public meetings. In addition to
the State apartments, the Hotel de Vile
contained six hundred rooms, which were
occupied by officers and clerks. We must
not omit stating that tho building was
famousfas the one from which the several
Go, ernments of France have been declared
overthrow or established, ever since the
revolution of 1889. In fact, the possession
Of the Hotel de Vile by insurgents of Paris
was always regarded as tantamount to
change of government. The building cost
over three million dollars, and was justly
regarded as one of the most imposing in
Europe, and one Of the most prominent
Of Paris.

: CAUSE OF THE MORAL DEGRADATION OF
CHIcAGo.-We have discovered one posi-
BILE cause for what some ili-natured per-
sons call the moral obliquity Of Chicago.
1t lies in the fact ascertained and recently
reported by the Sanitary Police that milk
is supplied to it's inhabitants from two
thousand eight hundred and thirty mine
cows kept on swill. How can o man be
pure and good if he has nothing Int swill-
milk for his coffeei How can officials be
honest and society be elevating, when the
sources of life are thus insidiously poison
ed How can peace and brotherly love and
devotion to conscience prevail while those
twenty eight hundred animals live! AS
long az they are eating swill the city must
necessarily, to certain extent, be afflicted
with Eatanswill politics and Eatanswill
journalism. We put in a plea for Chicago
her people are not having fair chance
iu the race of the world. Give them char
ity of Judgment till the Board of Health
does it's duty with respect to the two tbous-
and eight hundred and thirty-nine swill-fed
cows.

The Sisters ask for work for Themselves
and for those under their care. Last year,
by washing and sewing, they ,wereS very
nearly able to pay the expenses incumbent
upon them for the support Of. so large q
family. There are over one hundred and
fifty inmates in the house at present, in
Guiding the Preservation Class" 20 whom
may allude more particularly in future
communications, and the good Sisters lap
peat to all who have work to give to re-
member that no charity can be more ac-
ceptable to God than that which gives en-
pioyment to those who are anxious to lead
new lives and become useful to their fellow
beings. Many Of them, perhaps, hive
sinned for want of bread. O, do not let
poverty reach them within their present
home, lest its touch awaken memories de-
structive of all the Sisters devotedness
and love!
The evening was there, child" as
the Sisters called her, was dying. She was
only seventeen, but had been taken by
them from q life of vileness and degrade
ton. Already had she Automatically
sinned, but now at the hour of death all
was forgotten, and, let US humbly hope,
all was forgiven. Two Sisters sat by her
bedside, two consecrates" knelt ut the
foot, while over the dying girl foated the
unseen incense of prayer from Sisters and
from penitents. Innocence and repentance
beseeching mercy for one who had gone
astray.
On, beautiful charity! Oh, sublime vo-
cation! Oh, divine religion, that watches
and guards, that seeks out and saves, that
finds and REFUGEES over it's lost treasure!

Mr.. Baxter is under the mark in his COM
putation of the aggregate amount of the
United States and State debts. After the
settlement of the German war indemnity
France shall then head the list of the
debtor nations. 1t is computed by the
author of tho "paper 7" that seyen-eighats
of the gross amount of the public debt of
the world have been incurred for war pur-
poses. A melancholy conclusion to arrive
at that the inhabitapts of this globe have
expended such an enormous sum of money
for no other object than that of killing one
another.

CLASSES OF READERs.-Coleridge, in a
lecture twenty years ago, divided readers
into four classes. The first he compared to
the hour-glass, their reading being as the
sand-it runs IN aud out, and leaves not a
vestige behind. A second class he said,
resembled the sponge, which imbibes
everything and returns it in tho sane
state, only little dIrtier. a third class
he likened to jelly bag, which at,u.~ ii
that is pure to pass ava! and retaips 1uiy
the refuse aud dr-gs. The fourth class, OF
which he trusted there were mauy among
his auditors, he compared to the slaves III
the diamond miues of GolcOnda, who, cast
ing away all that is WORTHLESS, preserve
! only the pure gem.

The Worlds Debt.

A paper was recently read before the
British Association At Liverpool on, the
National Debts Of the World. The calcu-
lation Of the liabilities was made for fiscal
period ending with the commencement of
the Franco German war. The amounts
are given in pounds sterling, but for the
better understanding here of the immeDsity
of those debts, we will give them in dot
iars, computing the sOvereigns at "a S6
each in United States gold coin. Let ne
first see how much the nations of Europe
owed, placing the British at the head of
the list:
