did the board find the 13 erra bonds 10 fund
and destroy? We pause for reply
! Next comes the Free School bonds, 3!
which there are in all eighty-two Of $1,000, all
Of which have been funded.
The acting Attorney General, in the state
ment referred to- declared of these bonds that
they were never issued, and says, further,
that, under the Consti tutional amendment
limiting the State debt, they could not be.
They were null and should have been cane
cclled there vas no law for their ISSUE
The report Of the Committee Of Examines
declares that the amount Of this sesics %
bonds is twice due by the State i also states
that the Free School Fund 4" was not al az
ditional burden, becaase NE payment z ~
p,i,,cipm could neuer be required"
Maintaining the repeated declarations
of the Kellogg party a, to the inyalidity OF
these bonds, and in disregard too, of the re-
pert of the Committee of Ex miners, a part
Of the series has been funded and destroyed.
We now come to the bonds issued to the North
Louisiana and Texas Railroad Company, 5T
Of which have been funded and destroyed.
These are the L1deling bonds, Of the IN
constitutionality Of which there exists no
terested lawyer. The manner in which 594
bonds of this series, issued to Ludeling, were
converted from a contingent to an absolute
debt after all rights to the same had been
previously forfeited by default, should have
secured the State from any responsibility
therefor They were issued also in plain de-
rogation Of the constitutional provision limit
ing the State debt
Next in order are the 81 bonds Of $1,000
EACH of the series issued to the Mississippi
and Mexican Gulf Ship Canal Company. In
the Attorney Generals statement referred to,
the debt growing out of this issue of bonds
is stated to be 'purely contingent one.
Upon the fuifillment Of the obligations as
'umed by the Ship Canal Company, the States

part Of the work remains to be done, with no

Of the $3.50, 900 of bonds issued to this COM

The exhibit of these transactions of the
'unding Board show pretty conclusively that
he object Of the board is to fund any and all
laims and obligations that may be presented
egardless of their legality. 1t is very sorry,

We demand that the board shall explain

A Happy Fnmily.

The San Francisco papers tell us of a
poor Missouri family who found them.
selves perfectly destitute in San Fran
cisco, and also found friends in the hour
of their greatest need. Such incidents
are pleasant to read of, and the recital
always puts us in better humor with
humanity, no matter how content and
self-satisfied we may be. A poor man
Of forty or thereabouts, thinly clad
and ed-lookmg, went to the wharf
one evening and inquired Of a. long
shoreman for vessel going to Mendo-
Gina. 1t was getting late, the man was
shivering with cold, and conversation
ensued between the two poor men.
The stranger said he was from Missou-
ri, and had with him family consist
ing of a wife aud eight children. The
wife and children soon came up: they
were all shivering and starved-looking.
The man SAID he had expected
to find friends in San Francisco,
but ascertained that they had gone
to Mendocina. The family had been
obliged to sell all the clothing they had,
except the thin covering they had on,
to buy food. They had no money and
no place to sleep, and the night wind
was coming chilly and cold from the
sea. No vessel was going that night.
The longshoreman was touched in a
tender place. He was rough, but he
understood human nature; saw that
large, clinging family in distress, and
took of his hat and put his heart and .
dollar in it. He carried round the hat
among his fellows, al poor, and in few
minutes collected $50, which he handed
to the distressed Missouri ian. The man
was surprised and overcome with emo
ton. They would have . roof for the
night and comfortable bed to sleep in,
and they had prospects for the morrow,
too. Mendecina was to them . promis'
ed land. A vessel would leave

would be kind. They were up early
and on the wharf, but not before their
friends of the night before, who were
there to finish up their work. The
captain had been seen. He agreed to
take the family to their destined port,
if they could feed themselves on the
passage. Now it was all right. The
longshoremen had attended to that.
They had brought with them when they
had come to their daily toll bundles OF
clothing, and baskets Of food, shawls,
coats, pantaloons, shoes, &C., were
among the stores which they could
spare, and which their wives had bun
died up for them. Such tokens of
kindness made the parents and their
children cry for joy. The Missouri
family went off on the schooner, and
the longshoremen never felt happier in
their lives.

eight hundred thousand dollars; but
to this you must add f3S,0O0 for as

Dublin Sept o Correspondent of the New
York World.
The population of Ireland decreased
by 1,522,3l9 persons between the years
lS4l-5l, by 1884 in the next decade,
and by 397 POS between the years 1851
II. There is reason to believe that
this decrease by the end Of the present
decade will have wholly ceased-that
is, that the emigration will not exceed
the natural increase Of the population.
The condition Of the country is now
really prosperous. Wages have greatly
advanced in consequence Of the limited
supply of laborers. The reform Of the
land law has had most excellent ef-
feet, and not unfrequently Irishmen re-
turn from America with fortunes
gained there to take up their
abode in their native land.
The aggregate investment in Gov
eminent stocks, joint stock banks, and
savings banks in 1864 were f54,SS8, 600;
but on the Goth Of June. 1874, they
were f67, 10000, an increase of % per
cent in ten years. The value of live
stock in 1854 was f30,72S,FlO; in 1874
it was f37. 225. 1897. 1t is to be remark.
cd that although in thirty years Ireland
has lost about 100000 Of her people,
the relative proportion OF Catholics and
Protestants remains almost unchanged.
In. Munster, in 1861, 938 out of every
1000 were Catholics; the proportion
now is 936 to each 1000. In Kerry the
Catholics in 1851 were 967 in each 1000;
they now are 96S in each 1000. In
protestant" U1ster-which is Protest.
ant only in name-therc were 751 Cath
olics in each 1000 in 1861, and now
there are 756 to each 1000. The old
faith does not die out, despite the fact
that the emigrants are for the most part
Catholics.

A Sad. Strange Fancy.

New York Letter St. Louis Republican,
There dwells in this city lady who
in all respects seems a sane and sensi-
BILE woman. She lost five years ago an
only daughter Of great promise, seven
teen years old, and the idol Of the
mother. Since her child's death she
has had the room she used to occupy
cleaned daily, and the untouched bed
pulled to pieces and made over. She
sits before vacant chair at the table
and carefully fills the unused plate, and
spring and fall buys the newest and
prettiest things for "Addie,'' giving
away the last years garments, "Ad-
die having done with them. There is
no appearance of mental gloom or dis
order about her, yet she carries this
v:gary into every at of her life. Rid
ing out, no one ever sits beside her, as
that seat is filled by the imaginary
air drawn daughter. When seats are
taken at a theatre, her husband always
gets three. You see the vacant chair
between them, where she sup.
poses the dead ''Addie
SlCS anu views the perform
ance. She is cheerful and happy, and
asked friend of mine the other day
for the pattern Of wrapper, saying

be serviccable. and several days later l
saw the poor mother busily braiding a
cashmere sack for "Addie.'' She will

all subjects, but suddenly excuse her.
self, saying she must so to 'Addie" for
few moments. Sitting beside the
empty bed Ito which her daughter was
confined for two years before her DEATH
she clasps an unseen hand and talks
hours together to her phantom child.
1t is strange case, but by no means
sad one, since her tender ministra.
ton to this viewless "Addie' makes
the mothers heart rejoice. To all in
tents and purposes the daughter seems
to her to be with her constantly. Her
husband ccntcmplates taking her
abroad, and the lady is already pack

A Midnight Ride With ''Slim Jina,':

suddenly the door opens, and in with

side of the slouched hat is pinned up,
and by the lamplight discloses a face

pants is stuffed into the top of an old
cowhide boot. These, and the wooden
shirt, and the dilspidated vest and coat,
render his costume decidedly seedy.
As if totally oblivious of the situation
and surroundings, he begins humming
in a low, musical voice:
''Away down South in Dixie,
Away, away"
