Crime and Ignorance,

A New York clergyman, in sermon
on crime, said that in his city there are
thousands on thousands of persons who
have no fixed abiding place, who fit
from attic to attic and cellar to cellar ;
there are thousands more who make
crime, in some form or other, the bust
ness of their lives, and other tens of
thousands there are who swarm in tene-
ment houses, and are poor, hard pressed
and dependent for daily bread on their
small, uncertain earnings, and should
misfortune come are suddenly compelled
to beg or steal or to starve. And mean
time they behold the glittering display
of wealth and luxury all about them and
cannot tell why they should not have a
share of its comforts. Among these
many thousands there are 80, 900 home
less children, 60, 900 persons above ten
years of age who cannot write their
names, and in the city prisons last year
there were not far from fifty thousand
inmates.
The clergyman said that, in looking
over the reports of prison associations,
of 7 200 criminals in State prisons and
penitentiaries of the United States in
the year 1868, % per cent. could not
read when they were convicted, 98 per
cent had never learned trade, % pei
cent. were of foreign birth lover so pei
cent were in New York and Boston,, %
per cent. were under age and 81 pei
cent were insane and feeble minded.
And ignorance, idleness, homelessness,
orphanage, licentiousness and drunken
ness were the sources of at least 80 pei
cent. of all crime, and helplessness in
some form describes the great majority
of these causes, as they are negative and
preventable.

TooTHAoHE.-A new remedy consists
in the employment of injections intro
duced into the gum near the diseased
tooth. DR.. Dop has tried these injec-
tions in about one hundred cases. In
twenty cases he made use of morphia,
which succeeded very well, but only
for a time. Chloroform was far more
successful, and is now exclusively used
by DR.. Dop. It was eminently success
full in sixty-two cases out of eighty. The
injection is made with the small syringe
commonly used in France for subcutane-
Gus injections. Only two drops are put
in at time. The needle is introduced
gradually, and must remain IN Situ a
few seconds. On Withdrawing ID, pres
sure must be exerted on the gum with
the finger. In by far the greater num-
ber of cases, one injection is quite
enough to stop the toothache.

Peeping Flowers.

The snow is melting in the sun,
The swollen streams excited run,
And clamor through the pathways dun,
As if from winter flying.
A bird twit twits upon the tree,
The sun doth shine so merrily.
Yet dares not raise its song so free,
Not knowing winters dying.
Soon shall the lark exalt his wing,
The outspread heavens explore, and sing,
Thus grateful, joyous, greet the spring,
For early flowers are peeping.
Their eyes are peeping from the bed
Where erst the parent flowers were shed,
Where they had blown and blossomed
Mid dust ancestral sleeping.
The springing flowers are like young morn,
With hues no elder spring could scorn,
Thus Natures pencil doth adorn
The earths unchanging beauty
Thus seasons come, thus seasons go,
To partial Judgment, bliss and woe,
But ever, justice, blessings flow
Creation knows its duty.

After Three Years. Suffering.

On the 18th of March, 1870, Mr.. JOS
eph HI. Jackson, member of the New
York Americus Club, was badly beaten
by Eugene H. Diegan, Daniel Whitner,
and an unknown man, who attempted to
rob his place. Diegan was caught, con-
victed, and sentenced to twenty years
Imprisonment, after being held to await
the result of Mr.. Jackson's injuries,
which were at the time considered fatal.
Mr.. Jackson at the time of Diegan' S
conviction appeared to be doing we'll,
but about a year ago cerebral affec-
tion developed itself, and he became
subject to fits and died few days ago.
AS Diegan can be brought from Sing
Sing an inquest will be held, which
will pro badly result in the convict being
sent to the Tombs to await the action
of the Grand Jury.

EMPTY CHURoHEs.-Speaking of pre-
lates and high sacerdotal effects, New
York correspondent of a Boston paper
says that the most popular preachers of
this city, except a few sensation men,
can not entice their people to hear a
second sermon. On Murray Hill there
stands a very fashionable church. 1t
has q chime of bells, boys cnoir, and
full choral service, and bishop for a
rector. The morning congregation is
large. One Sunday afternoon the
bishop was present in full canonicals
so were the choir, all surpliced. The
service was carried through entire,
chants, choral singing, sermon, and all.
The chancel end was very much the
heaviest. The entire congregation con-
sisted Of toOo persons.

A GALLANT CLERK.-A clerk in the
Indianapolis Post-office is now in the
last stages of drouth, occasioned by his
own gallantry in volunteering to lick
and adjust postage stamps for the young
ladies who came to his window. He is
very charming, and Indianapolis is full
of good-looking girls, who love dearly
to see him run out his tongue and
moisten stamp. The doctor says that
unless he can start the sap in his sys-
tenn he is goner.

ACCIDENT. .-Chas. M. Barras, who ac-
quired fame as the author of the "Black
Crook" and who resides at Coscob,
near Stamford, while returning home
from New York., met with serious, if
not fatal accident. The trains were
required to stop at bridge near the
station, and he usually got off there.
He waited till the train was on the
bridge, when he jumped off and fell
through, distance of seventy feet, on
rocks below. The train was backed up
and Mr.. Barras taken to his home,

Henry P. Antes produced abstracts
of vouchers for legal services paid by
the Erie Railway Company in 1869 and
1870. All of these vouchers were re-
corded. There were others which were
not on record. The witness was asked
whether the $4,000 paid by Mr.. Tweed
for coal to be distributed among the
poor of his district in New York City,
came out of the Erie treasury. His an
swer was that he understood that the
legal expenses Of the road covered it.

ers which God has appointed principal and
first assistant in the common school in
which he educates all his creatures? The
talk about teaching Indians the art of
agriculture" must have Originated in q
lunatic asylum. The squaws know how TO
raise corn, beans, and pumpkins, and when
the warriors have mastered this occult
science, under their tuition, it will be time
enough TO establish agricultural colleges
for their benefit. 1t is not knowledge, but
will that is wanting, and only stern neces-
sity can supply that. The only cure for
our Indian troubles is 10 tumble the Indian
Bureau into the Potomac, as the most YER
min infested, rotten, old piece of lumber
that ever disgraced Uncle Samuels house
keeping put washstand in its place, and
let the old gentleman try to clean his hands
of the blood of thousands of his noblest
sons and daughters who have fallen vic
Tins to his mistake in recognizing as indie
pendent nations every horde of savages
within his borders. He must stop the
treaty business, and when he buys land,
let him pay for it. Instead of annuities to
foster idleness and crime, give every In
dian family an inalienable homestead.
Make them amenable to the laws of the
State or Territory in which they are found.
Ii they work, protect them in the enjoy
ment of the proceeds of their labor dc
not let the idle and vicious rob the indus
trious, as they now do. If they steal, i'm
prison them if they murder, hang them

come. He that will not work shall not
eat, is a law we have no right to abrogate.
