said about the French, "they don't know

hR. WILloN speaks enthusiastically Of
the beauty Of the country in the summer
time, but says that the climate Is in dreary
contrast at this season Of the year with
such delightful weather as we have been
having. The weat winds that prevail in
Ireland during nine months Of the year
come charged with accumulated vapors
from the ocean, and precipltste them in
delugeS Of rain and dense logs upon the
land. The annual fall Of rain Is from 30
to 40 inches. Hence the air is seldom
clear, even in summer, and In autumn the
supelauity Of moisture becomes a serious
impediment 10 the operations Of harvest.
Upon the whole, Mr.. WILSON, after
his three months sojourn In the
land of his foreiathers, thinks Of
1t as STEPHEN A. DOUGLASS once
said Of his native State Of Vermont,
that it was q good State to be born in pro
vlded a man emigrated as soon as his
mothers condition would admit Of q
change. We judge that even an offer OF
the LOrd.Lieutenaucy would scarcely in.
duce our friend 10 take up his residence
in the country. The genial sunshine and
the square meals Of this land Of freedom
present too:msny attractions to a man Of
his rational turn OF mind to be exchanged
Tor foEs and porridge.

turns oi former years will show that the
decrease in the criminal population has
been effected in the great towns, the ag.
ricultural counties and towns not having

II we test the efficiency oISour means

There are four borouphs which each

Il isin one sense satisfactory 10 find that
the natives ol England and Wales do not
furnish criminals In due proportion TO

whereas those who are not natives com.
prise only 1923 Of our population, they
furnish one.flth ol our criminals. Scot.
land furnished per cent, but Ireland con.
stitutes no less than 142 per cent, and the
Irish female constitutes no less than one
tltlh OF tho whole OF the female prison
population Of England and Wales. By
the last census 1t appears that out Of 49,.
Ila,2OB who formed the population Of
England and Wales, there were 668, $40 OF
irish birth, and In this proportion It
might be expected that this contingent
would furnish between 5000 and 1000 10
o1 our prisons; but instead Of that we have
20 'lOO criminals Of Irish birth In our
prisons last year. Unfortunately lor the
ratepayers Of England and Wales, two.
htths ot these Irish criminals have selected
those countries, and not their own. for
their depredations. These facts undoubt.
edly furnish the true reason for the smaller
prevalence Of certain crimes in Ireland.

on the remains Of Herman Schilling,
The important feature Of 1t was the dis.
coVery oil key In the ashes oi the fur.
mace where bis body was burned. The
key Is identified as the one that Schilling
used that night to lock the inside gate.
This will aid materially in Identifying
the remains as his. The second comics.
sion OF young Egner was read to him TO.
day, and he swears 10 It's truth. The others
do not confess. The verdict is that
Andreas Egner and George Ruler killed
the deceased, and that Fred. Egner was
an accessory. Egner's second confession
was obtained after much persuasion and
promises that 1t would be better for him
10 tell the whole truth. Tho parties who
obtained 1t were not detectives or officers
Of the law.
A second fire at the Reform Farm
School at Lancaster, Ohio, resulted in the

not the inmates.
GEORGE RUFER CoNFBssEs.
George Rufer made confession TO-
night. II required three hours 10 get the
whole matter from him. His story Is that
he was drunk; that he had been that day
discharged, and Andreas Egner told him
that he would not have 10 work 60 hard II
be would help kill SchilliDg. He says he
was so drunk that he hardly knew what
he was about. He drew the details Of the
murder as much as young Eguer did,
only he charges all active participation
In the deed on young Egner and his
fathhr, and says he only kept watch and
kept the dogs quiet.
The Indignation is 30 great among the
Germans that double watch is kept
about the jail to prevent lynching.
